Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a high-voltage electric pulse cracking device that can be used inside a CT, belonging to the technical field of test equipment. Background Art

[0002] High-voltage electric pulse cracking refers to using the shock wave generated during the discharge process and the mechanical effects caused by the high temperature generated in the plasma channel to electrically breakdown solid materials, and triggering a series of physical and chemical changes to form cracks, resulting in the breakdown and cracking effect. It can be used in research experiments on the high-voltage electric pulse cracking mechanism and cracking influence of solid materials including rocks, coal, frozen soil, plastic doping, composite materials, etc. Currently, it is mainly used in research experiments on the enhanced permeability mechanism of high-voltage electric pulse cracking of coal seams and the enhanced permeability effect of high-voltage electric pulse cracking of coal seam gas.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent with the application number CN202111462787.X discloses a specimen holder for coal seam cracking, which includes a pressure chamber in the shape of a circular tube structure. The inner cavity of the pressure chamber is used to install a specimen at the central position; both the upper and lower ends of the specimen are equipped with electrode needles and gas and liquid conducting conductive bolts. One end of the electrode needle abuts against the specimen, and the other end sequentially passes through the first slide bar, the second slide bar, and the third slide bar coaxially and then inserts into the blind hole of the fourth slide bar. One end of the gas and liquid conducting conductive bolt is connected to the electrode needle, and the other end laterally penetrates outside the fourth slide bar. The diameter of the electrode needle is smaller than the inner diameter of the slide bar it passes through to form a water and gas channel, and both water and gas channels are close to the specimen. The gas and liquid conducting conductive bolt is a hollow rod structure, and the inner end of the gas and liquid conducting conductive bolt located above is connected to the water and gas channel, and the outer end is a water and gas outlet. The inner end of the gas and liquid conducting conductive bolt located below is connected to the water and gas channel, and the outer end is respectively provided with an air inlet and a water inlet. The pressure chamber is rotatably installed on an insulating fixed base in a 360° horizontal rotation manner, and the pressure chamber is made of materials that meet the requirements of CT scanning. Although the specimen holder described in this patent can be used to a certain extent in research experiments on high-voltage electric pulse cracking of coal seams, the inventor of this application found in the experiment that when using the described specimen holder for high-voltage electric pulse cracking experiments, there is a creepage problem at the high-voltage discharge end. High-voltage electric pulse discharge uses a high-voltage electric pulse generator to pre-charge first, then discharge instantaneously, and then form a plasma explosion in the sample to open the sample cracks. If the creepage problem is not handled, it will cause the high-voltage electric pulse generator to not be able to charge, or there will be continuous arcing with adjacent components, posing a safety risk of breakdown of the metal or air near the electrode; in addition, there is only one grounding for the above specimen holder, which cannot ensure that the entire holder is in an equipotential state, and there will be arcing problems in other places, such as threads, which will cause the threads to melt at the discharge location and cannot be disassembled. If arcing occurs at other parts of the holder, it will also cause other safety hazards. Summary of the Utility Model
