Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of experimental technology for grouting in fractured surrounding rock, specifically to a device for preparing and using indoor test blocks for grouting in fractured surrounding rock. Background Technology
[0002] In underground engineering fields such as coal mining and tunnel construction, grouting reinforcement of fractured surrounding rock is a key technology for improving rock mass stability and ensuring construction safety. Conducting indoor simulated grouting tests and producing standard test blocks for mechanical testing are core methods for studying the grouting reinforcement mechanism, optimizing engineering grouting parameters, and evaluating the grouting reinforcement effect. This provides theoretical basis and technical support for grouting projects in complex underground rock masses, avoiding cost waste and engineering risks caused by relying solely on experience.
[0003] Existing indoor grouting specimen fabrication devices generally have several limitations: most are single-channel grouting structures, capable of grouting only a single specimen at a time, resulting in low batch sample preparation efficiency; after grouting, specimens must remain in the device until the grout completely solidifies before demolding, leading to long-term device occupancy, a serial operation mode, long overall test cycles, and low equipment utilization; the grout preparation and grouting processes are separated, and sedimentation and segregation during grout transfer can easily occur, causing deviations in the mix proportions and affecting the accuracy and repeatability of test results; furthermore, the functional modules are dispersed and independent, the pipeline layout is complex, and post-test cleaning and maintenance are difficult, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient and accurate multi-parameter comparative tests. To address these issues, it is necessary to develop a new type of testing device and method that enables multi-station parallel grouting, integrated operation, and continuous, streamlined operation.

[0012] The method of using a device for preparing test blocks for grouting in simulated fractured surrounding rock includes the following steps:
[0013] 1) Material preparation: Open the end of the test block silo, load in the pre-crushed and proportioned simulated rock mass material, compact it, and then reseal the end of the test block silo. Check the sealing performance of the upper and lower pressure tanks and the test block silo, and close all valves.
[0014] 2) Vacuum treatment: Connect the external air pump to the air extraction port, open the corresponding exhaust switch of the air extraction chamber, and evacuate the test block chamber and connected pipelines.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-14 A device for fabricating test blocks for grouting in simulated fractured surrounding rock is disclosed. It includes an upper sealing plate 9 and a lower sealing plate 10 arranged in parallel. An upper pressure tank 11 and a lower pressure tank 8 are stacked between the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10. Test block chambers 14 are located inside the upper pressure tank 11 and the lower pressure tank 8. Test block chamber end caps 13 are provided at the ends of the test block chambers 14. In the test block forming unit, multiple independent test block chambers 14 are used to accommodate fractured rock mass and form standard test specimens (50mm × 100mm). Each test block chamber 14 has a detachable test block chamber end cap 13 at one end for specimen removal. The chamber wall of the test block chamber 14 has a grout inlet hole 35. A diaphragm-type one-way check valve structure is provided at the grout inlet hole 35 to allow grout to enter the test block chamber in only one direction, preventing grout backflow. The diaphragm-type one-way check valve structure includes an annular base and an ultra-thin elastic sealing diaphragm attached to the end face of the annular base. The annular base is fixedly connected to the pipe joint outside the grout inlet 35. The sealing diaphragm opens under grouting pressure and resets to seal by its own elasticity and back pressure after grouting stops. Neither the sealing diaphragm nor the annular base protrudes from the inner wall of the test block chamber. The upper confining pressure tank 11 and the lower confining pressure tank 8 are respectively fitted onto the upper and lower ends of the test block chamber 14, and are sealed by the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10, for applying confining pressure simulating in-situ stress to the specimen.
[0039] The test block chamber 14 has a grout inlet hole 35 on its wall, which is connected to a connecting pipe 15. The end of the connecting pipe 15 away from the grout inlet hole 35 is connected to a connecting pipe 18. The bottom of the lower sealing plate 10 is provided with a grouting port 12 connected to the connecting pipe 18. Each test block chamber 14 is connected to the corresponding grout inlet hole 35 through the connecting pipe 15. The two ends of the connecting pipe 18 are respectively provided with a first connecting pipe interface 16 and a second connecting pipe interface 17 for connecting the upper and lower pipelines. The grouting port 12 is provided on the lower pressure tank 8 as the inlet for the grout to enter the test block chamber 14.
[0040] The upper sealing plate 9 is provided with an exhaust hole 3, and also includes a grouting mechanism and an exhaust mechanism. The grouting mechanism injects grout into the test block chamber 14 through the grouting port 12, and the exhaust mechanism extracts the gas inside the test block chamber 14 through the exhaust hole 3.
[0041] The test block chamber 14 has a flush-mounted grout inlet hole 35 on its wall. The grout inlet hole 35 penetrates the chamber wall and one side inside the chamber remains flat without protrusions or grooves, so as not to damage the shape of the test piece. The outer wall of the test block chamber 14 is provided with a diaphragm-type one-way check structure at the grout inlet hole 35, including an ultra-thin elastic sealing diaphragm and an outer grouting joint. Under the action of grouting pressure, the sealing diaphragm is pushed open, and the grout enters the test block chamber 14 through the grout inlet hole 35. After grouting stops, the sealing diaphragm adheres tightly to the outside of the grout inlet hole 35 under the action of its own elasticity and the pressure of the grout inside the chamber, so as to achieve a seal and prevent backflow, so that the grout can only enter and cannot flow back, and does not invade the internal space of the test block chamber 14.
[0042] In one embodiment, the grouting mechanism includes a mixing chamber 33, and a grouting pump is installed between the mixing chamber 33 and the test block chamber 14. The grouting pump injects the grout from the mixing chamber 33 into the test block chamber 14. An agitator 31 is installed inside the mixing chamber 33. The mixing chamber 33 is connected to the grouting pump's pumping port 24 via a pumping pipe 32. A third pressure gauge 23 is installed in the middle of the grouting pump, and the grout outlet port 25 of the grouting pump is connected to the grouting port 12 via a hose 34. A grout outlet hole 19 is provided on the side of the upper sealing plate 9. The grout outlet hole 19 is connected to the third connection port 29 via a pipe. The third connection port 29 is located at the end of the liquid storage chamber 30. A connection hole 2 is provided in the middle of the upper sealing plate 9, and a first pressure gauge 1 is installed on the connection hole 2. In the grouting mechanism, a mixer 31 is installed inside the mixing chamber 33 for preparing grouting slurry on site; the storage chamber 30 is connected to the slurry outlet 19 and the third connection port 29 on the storage chamber 30 through a hose 34; one end of the slurry pumping pipe 32 is inserted into the mixing chamber 33, and the other end is connected to the slurry pumping connection port 24, and then connected to the external grouting pump; the outlet of the grouting pump is connected to the grouting port 12 through a pipeline, and then distributed to each test block chamber 14 through the grouting port 12; the pipeline is equipped with a slurry outlet 19 and a slurry outlet switch 20 for venting or cleaning.
[0043] In one embodiment, the venting mechanism includes an air pump and an air extraction chamber 28. The air extraction chamber 28 has a second connection port 27 and a first connection port 26 on both sides. The second connection port 27 connects to the air extraction connection port 22 of the air pump. The air pump is equipped with a second pressure gauge 21, which is connected to an exhaust port 3. An exhaust switch 4 is installed inside the exhaust port 3. The venting mechanism includes an air extraction chamber 28, which is connected to an external air pump via the air extraction connection port 22 and connected to the venting circuit of the pressure tank via interfaces such as the first connection port 26, the second connection port 27, and the exhaust port 3. An exhaust port 3 and an exhaust switch 4 are provided on the pipeline. A third pressure gauge 23 monitors the pressure of the grouting pipeline, a first pressure gauge 1 monitors the pressure of the pressure tank, and a second pressure gauge 21 monitors the air extraction chamber 28. A connection hole 2 is used to connect the first pressure gauge 2 and the pressure tank.
[0044] In one embodiment, a fixing column 7 is provided between the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10. The fixing column 7 is connected to the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10 by fixing screws 5. A support leg 6 is provided at the bottom of the lower sealing plate 10. In terms of structural connection, the four support legs 6 support the entire device, and the fixing column 7 and fixing screws 5 are used to connect and fix the upper and lower pressure tanks 8 and the test block chamber 14 components.
[0045] A method for using a device for preparing test blocks for grouting in simulated fractured surrounding rock includes the following steps:
[0046] 1. Material preparation: Open end 13 of the test block silo, load the pre-crushed and proportioned simulated rock mass material into the test block silo 14, compact it, and then reseal the end. Check the sealing performance of the upper pressure tank 11, lower pressure tank 8 and test block silo 14, and close all valves.
[0047] 2. Vacuum treatment: Connect the external air pump to the air extraction port 22, open the exhaust switch 4 corresponding to the air extraction chamber 28, and evacuate the test block chamber 14 and the connected pipeline. Monitor the vacuum degree through the first pressure gauge 1. After completion, close the exhaust switch 4 to keep the chamber under negative pressure to facilitate the filling of cracks by the slurry.
[0048] 3. Grout preparation and storage: Cement, water, additives, etc. are added to the mixing bin 33 according to the proportion. The mixer 31 is started to mix evenly. After the mixing is completed, the grouting pump is turned on to pump the grout into each test block bin 14 through the grouting port 12, the connecting pipe and the connecting pipe 18.
[0049] 4. Grouting and confining pressure loading: Start the grouting pump. Grout enters the grouting pump from the mixing chamber 33 through the grouting pipe 32 and the grouting connection port 24, and then reaches each test block chamber 14 through the hose 34, grouting port 12, connecting pipe 15, and connecting pipe 18. Under the action of grouting pressure, the diaphragm-type one-way check structure at the grout inlet 35 of the test block chamber 14 is opened, and the grout enters the chamber to fill the gaps in the fractured rock mass. At the same time, liquid is injected into the upper confining pressure tank 11 and the lower confining pressure tank 8 through the external confining pressure pump to apply confining pressure simulating the in-situ stress environment, which is monitored by the first pressure gauge 1. When the grouting pressure of the test block chamber 14 reaches the required level, grouting is stopped. At this time, the diaphragm at the grout inlet 35 automatically closes to prevent grout backflow.
[0050] 5. Pressure holding and demolding and continuous operation: After maintaining the confining pressure for a period of time to allow the grout to initially solidify, remove the end 13 of the test block chamber 14, take out the grouted specimen as a whole, and move it to the curing environment to continue solidification. After the test block chamber 14 is emptied, immediately reinstall a new test block chamber 14 and then load the material for the next round of grouting, realizing a streamlined continuous operation of "loading material → vacuuming → grouting → taking out the specimen → loading material again", with eight workstations operating in parallel.
[0051] 6. Cleaning and maintenance: Start the mixing chamber 33 and the grouting pump to circulate and clean all pipelines and the mixing chamber 33 to prevent grout residue from clogging.
[0052] This invention provides a device and method for fabricating test blocks for grouting in simulated fractured surrounding rock. By employing a multi-station parallel structure design, grouting can be performed on eight specimens simultaneously, significantly shortening batch sample preparation time and meeting the high-efficiency requirements of multi-parameter comparative experiments. The mixing chamber 33, storage chamber 30, and grouting pipeline are organically integrated, achieving integrated operation of grout preparation and grouting, avoiding errors and cumbersome processes caused by external transfer, and ensuring grout uniformity and test repeatability. Each specimen can be removed immediately after grouting, eliminating the need to wait for solidification in situ, thus breaking the serial limitation of "grouting-waiting" and achieving continuous, streamlined operation, greatly improving device utilization. Each grouting channel is equipped with an independent pressure regulation and control system, enabling simultaneous simulation of the impact of different grouting pressures on the grouting effect of fractured surrounding rock, providing a reliable parallel comparison platform for grouting parameter optimization. Simultaneously, the functional modules such as the pressure tank, extraction chamber 28, storage chamber 30, and mixing chamber 33 are highly integrated, simplifying pipeline layout, centralizing operation and control, and facilitating post-test cleaning and maintenance. This invention provides an efficient, scientific, and integrated indoor simulation grouting test block fabrication device and method, offering a more advanced and practical experimental platform for the study of grouting mechanism and optimization of engineering parameters in fractured surrounding rock.
