Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of geological survey for water conservancy and hydropower engineering, in particular to a three-plug water pressure test device. Background Art

[0002] The water pressure test is the most commonly used in-situ permeability test in engineering geological surveys. Its main purpose is to determine the water permeability of the rock mass and provide basic parameters for evaluating the permeability characteristics of the rock mass and designing seepage control measures. The traditional water pressure test in the water conservancy and hydropower industry is the single plug water pressure test method, that is, when the borehole reaches the target depth, the drill rod is connected to the water stop plug and lowered to the bottom of the hole. The test section 5m above the bottom of the hole is tested with a specific water pressure, and the permeability of the target section is calculated by the injected flow rate. The disadvantage of this method is that the borehole needs to be drilled to the target position, the drill needs to be lifted and the water stop plug is assembled, and then the drill is lowered to the bottom of the hole. Each section of the water pressure test requires repeated assembly of the plug, which is inefficient.

[0003] At present, the industry has improved on the basis of the single plug water pressure test and has developed a double plug water pressure test. The double plug water pressure test can press water from bottom to top after the drilling is completed, which improves the work efficiency compared with the single plug water pressure test.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] A method for implementing a three-plug water pressure test device comprises the following steps:

[0029] Step 1: Complete a geological drilling for the test target and lift the drill after drilling to the designed hole depth;

[0030] Step 2: Place the three-plug water pressure test device at the bottom of the hole through the drilling rig;

[0031] Step 3: Perform a full-hole water pressure test on the water pressure test device from bottom to top. After the device reaches the first section, use an air compressor to pressurize and inflate the upper water stop plug, the lower water stop plug and the bottom water stop plug to expand them and seal the drilling test section.

[0032] Step 4: After checking the pressure gauge, flow meter, and monitor, turn on the constant pressure water pump to start injecting water;

[0033] Step 5: During the water injection process, always observe the monitor to check whether there are any changes in the water level sensor and pressure sensor. If there are no changes, it means that the water is stopped successfully. If there are changes, it means that the water is stopped unsuccessfully. It is necessary to continue to pressurize the water stop plug or use the drilling rig to fine-tune the test section up and down, and repeat this process until the water is stopped successfully.

[0034] Step 6: Pressurize the test section to 0.3MPa, 0.6MPa, 1MPa, 0.6MPa, and 0.3MPa as test pressures, inject clean water, and use a flow meter to record the flow rate at each pressure;

[0035] Step 7: After the first section of the water pressure test is completed, stop injecting water, deflate the water stop plug, shrink the plug, let it stand for a while, then start to lift the water pressure device to the next section, and repeat this process. Note that each test section needs to overlap by 10cm to 20cm to ensure that no section is missed.

The protection scope of the present invention shall be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, equivalent replacement improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
