Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sedimentation simulation equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation. Background Technology

[0002] Sedimentary simulation is an important experimental tool and technique in sedimentological theoretical research, and can be divided into numerical simulation and physical simulation. The physical sedimentary simulation apparatus for geological tectonic deformation is a specialized experimental device used to simulate sedimentation processes and their effects during geological tectonic deformation. This apparatus studies and understands the relationship between geological tectonic deformation and sedimentation by simulating fluid flow, sediment transport, and deposition processes under different environmental conditions.

[0003] In scientific research and industrial applications, sedimentation tanks are widely used to simulate sedimentation processes in fluids to understand and predict the formation, morphology, and distribution of sediments under different conditions (such as flow rate, pressure, and temperature). However, the limitations of existing technologies, especially the fixed fluid flow rate, restrict the effectiveness of these simulation devices in simulating complex and variable environmental conditions. For example, due to the fixed flow rate, the distribution, morphology, and thickness of sediments in simulation experiments may differ significantly from the actual situation. In nature, under high flow rate conditions, sediment particles may be transported further, forming wider riverbeds; while under low flow rate conditions, sediment is more likely to be deposited in near-shore areas, forming narrower riverbeds or sandbars. If the simulation device cannot simulate these flow rate changes, the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results will be questioned. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the problems in related technologies, this invention proposes a physical sedimentary simulation method for geological structural deformation to overcome the aforementioned technical problems existing in the current related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention relates to a physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation, comprising a sedimentation tank, an external storage tank, and a liquid delivery mechanism fixedly installed inside the sedimentation tank. The liquid delivery mechanism includes a fixed disc fixedly installed on the sedimentation tank, with an outlet inside the fixed disc. The outlet corresponds to three sets of outlet holes, which are located on a rotating disk. A liquid outlet plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating disk, and the liquid outlet plate has three sets of outlet channels inside. The three sets of outlet channels correspond one-to-one with the three sets of outlet holes, and the outlet flow rates of the three sets of outlet channels are different. The liquid outlet plate is rotatably mounted on the fixed disc. One end of the outlet is connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to a water pump. The water pump is connected to one end of a pumping pipe, which is connected to the connecting pipe via the water pump.

[0006] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided above the sedimentation tank, and a first threaded rod is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove. A first motor is fixedly installed at one end of the first threaded rod, and the first motor is fixedly installed on the sedimentation tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the first threaded rod is threadedly connected to a movable plate, the movable plate is slidably connected inside the slide groove, the movable plate is fixedly installed with a connector, and the connector is rotatably installed with a connecting block.

[0008] Furthermore, a first bevel gear is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block. The first bevel gear is rotatably mounted on the connecting piece. The first bevel gear meshes with a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor. The second motor is fixedly installed on the moving plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a fan housing is fixedly installed on the connecting block, a fan is rotatably installed inside the fan housing, and a filter screen is fixedly installed on the fan housing.

[0010] Furthermore, a drainage mechanism is provided outside the sedimentation tank. The drainage mechanism includes a drainage pipe, and a control valve is provided outside the drainage pipe. One end of the drainage pipe is connected to the inside of the sedimentation tank.

[0011] Furthermore, a baffle is rotatably installed inside the sedimentation tank, and a plate is fixedly installed on the baffle.

[0012] Furthermore, the plate is rotatably mounted with one end of a second threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the inside of a threaded cylinder, and the threaded cylinder is rotatably mounted on the sedimentation tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the water pump is fixedly mounted on a fixed plate, the fixed plate is fixedly mounted on the sedimentation tank, and there is friction between the rotating disk and the liquid outlet disk.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention achieves precise control of fluid velocity and flow rate through the design of the liquid delivery mechanism, especially the combination of the liquid outlet plate and the rotating plate. By adjusting the pumping speed of the water pump and rotating the liquid outlet plate to change the liquid outlet orifice aligned with the liquid outlet, the fluid flow velocity and pressure changes under different environmental conditions can be simulated. This precise control capability makes the simulation experiment closer to the actual geological environment, improving the accuracy and reliability of the simulation.

[0015] 2. This invention uses a combination of a fan, a first motor, and a second motor to simulate external factors during the sedimentation process. The fan can blow the fluid in the sedimentation tank to simulate the influence of wind or waves on the transport and deposition of sediments. At the same time, the position and angle of the fan can be changed by the drive of the first motor and the second motor to simulate wave conditions under different environmental conditions. This design allows the simulation experiment to more comprehensively consider the influence of external factors on the sedimentation process, improving the complexity and realism of the simulation.

[0016] 3. This invention achieves flexible simulation of geological structural deformation and sedimentation environment through the design of the drainage mechanism and baffle. By opening the control valve, the fluid in the sedimentation tank can be discharged through the drainage pipe to simulate the situation of water level drop. At the same time, by rotating the threaded cylinder to adjust the tilt angle of the baffle, the speed and direction of fluid flow in the sedimentation tank can be affected, thereby affecting the deposition mode of sediments. This design enables the simulation experiment to more flexibly simulate different geological structural deformation and sedimentation environment, providing strong support for geological research and engineering applications.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0022] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this invention is a physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation, including a sedimentation tank 1, a liquid storage tank 24 outside the sedimentation tank 1, and a liquid delivery mechanism fixedly installed inside the sedimentation tank 1. The liquid delivery mechanism includes a fixed disc 13 fixedly installed on the sedimentation tank 1, with a liquid outlet 15 inside the fixed disc 13. The liquid outlet 15 corresponds to three sets of liquid outlet holes 16, which are opened on a rotating disc 17. A liquid outlet plate 18 is rotatably installed on the rotating disc 17. Three sets of liquid outlet channels 19 are arranged inside the liquid outlet plate 18. The three sets of liquid outlet channels 19 correspond one-to-one with the three sets of liquid outlet holes 16, and the liquid flow rates of the three sets of liquid outlet channels 19 are different. The liquid outlet plate 18 is rotatably installed on the fixed disc 13. One end of the liquid outlet 15 is connected to a connecting pipe 14, and the other end of the connecting pipe 14 is connected to a water pump 2. One end of the water pump 2 is connected to a pumping pipe 3, and the pumping pipe 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 14 through the water pump 2.

[0024] The working principle of the physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation proposed in this invention is as follows: before the simulation, a sediment source needs to be placed in the sedimentation tank 1. The sediment source can be sediment samples from rivers, lakes, oceans, etc., to simulate sedimentation under different geological environments.

[0025] Then, the water pump 2 is started, so that the water pipe 3 draws the fluid inside the storage tank 24, and then transmits it to the inside of the connecting pipe 14 through the water pump 2, and then sprays it out by the liquid delivery mechanism. When it is necessary to change the flow rate, it is only necessary to control the pumping speed of the water pump 2.

[0026] It is worth noting that when the flow rate needs to be changed, the liquid outlet plate 18 is rotated, which in turn drives the rotating plate 17 to rotate, thereby driving the three sets of liquid outlet holes 16 to rotate, so that the different liquid outlet holes 16 are aligned with the liquid outlet 15, so that the fluid flows out from the liquid outlet plate 18, thereby changing the fluid flow rate output.

[0027] By controlling the flow rate and volume of the fluid flowing into the sedimentation tank 1, the changes in flow velocity and pressure under different environmental conditions can be simulated, enabling the device to simulate a more realistic environment and thus improve the simulation effect of the device.

[0028] In one embodiment, for the sedimentation tank 1, a sliding groove 4 is provided above the sedimentation tank 1, and a first threaded rod 5 is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove 4. A first motor 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the first threaded rod 5, and the first motor 6 is fixedly installed on the sedimentation tank 1.

[0029] In one embodiment, for the first threaded rod 5, the first threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to a movable plate 7, the movable plate 7 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 4, the movable plate 7 is fixedly installed with a connector 8, and the connector 8 is rotatably installed with a connecting block 9.

[0030] In one embodiment, for the connecting block 9, a first bevel gear 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 9, the first bevel gear 10 is rotatably installed on the connecting member 8, the first bevel gear 10 meshes with a second bevel gear 11, the second bevel gear 11 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor 12, and the second motor 12 is fixedly installed on the moving plate 7.

[0031] In one embodiment, for the connecting block 9, a fan housing 20 is fixedly installed on the connecting block 9, a fan 21 is rotatably installed inside the fan housing 20, and a filter screen 22 is fixedly installed on the fan housing 20.

[0032] The working principle of the physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation proposed in this invention is as follows: the fan 21 can blow the fluid in the sedimentation tank 1 to simulate the influence of external factors such as wind and waves on the transport and deposition process of sediments. Since external factors such as wind and waves in nature are randomly generated, their positions and angles are not fixed. By starting the first motor 6, the first threaded rod 5 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the moving plate 7 to move along the inside of the slide 4, thereby driving the fan 21 to move horizontally, which can change the position of the waves generated by the fan 21.

[0033] Furthermore, by starting the second motor 12, the second bevel gear 11 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting block 9 to rotate inside the connecting member 8, thereby driving the fan 21 to rotate. This changes the angle of the fan 21's airflow, thus simulating wave conditions under different environmental conditions and making the simulated environment more consistent with the real environment.

[0034] It is worth noting that the filter 22 can isolate external dust and other impurities, thereby allowing the fan 21 to have a better air blowing effect.

[0035] In one embodiment, for the sedimentation tank 1, a drainage mechanism is provided outside the sedimentation tank 1. The drainage mechanism includes a drainage pipe 23, and a control valve 25 is provided outside the drainage pipe 23. One end of the drainage pipe 23 is connected to the inside of the sedimentation tank 1.

[0036] The working principle of the physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation proposed in this invention is as follows: by opening the control valve 25, the fluid in the sedimentation tank 1 can flow into the storage tank 24 through the drain pipe 23, thereby simulating the situation of water level drop. Moreover, the excess fluid in the sedimentation tank 1 can also be discharged through the drain pipe 23 and collected into the storage tank 24, thereby preventing the fluid in the sedimentation tank 1 from overflowing and improving the safety of the equipment.

[0037] In one embodiment, for the sedimentation tank 1, a baffle 26 is rotatably installed inside the sedimentation tank 1, and a plate 27 is fixedly installed on the baffle 26.

[0038] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned plate 27, one end of the plate 27 is rotatably mounted with a second threaded rod 28, the second threaded rod 28 being threadedly connected to the inside of a threaded cylinder 29, and the threaded cylinder 29 being rotatably mounted on the sedimentation tank 1.

[0039] In one embodiment, the water pump 2 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 30, the fixed plate 30 is fixedly mounted on the sedimentation tank 1, and there is friction between the rotating disk 17 and the liquid outlet disk 18.

[0040] The working principle of the physical sedimentation simulation method for geological structural deformation proposed in this invention is as follows: by rotating the threaded cylinder 29, the second threaded rod 28 is driven to rise or fall, which in turn drives the plate 27 to rise or fall, thereby controlling the tilt angle of the baffle 26 in the sedimentation tank 1, affecting the speed and direction of fluid flow in the sedimentation tank 1, and thus affecting the deposition mode of the sediment, thereby further improving the simulation effect of the device.
