[0002] Fracking is a widely used technology in energy extraction. Carbon dioxide (CO2) fracking is a variant of fracking that uses CO2 gas instead of the water and chemical liquids used in traditional fracking. CO2 fracking works by injecting high-pressure CO2 gas into underground oil and gas reservoirs, creating cracks in the rock layer and releasing the underlying oil and gas. This technology operates under high pressure and high temperature, requiring high-pressure compressors and high-temperature equipment. Currently, CO2 fracking technology is still in its developmental stages, and the related processes are immature. Therefore, it is necessary to design a CO2 fracking test device to conduct relevant theoretical research. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0019] like Figure 1As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a carbon dioxide fracturing test device, which includes a base 1, which is a platform. Two fixed wall panels 2 are provided on the base 1 in front and back opposite positions. Specifically, the fixed wall panels 2 are fixedly connected to the base 1 by welding or bolts.
[0020] At least two guide shafts 3 are connected between the two fixed wall panels 2. The utility model preferably has four guide shafts 3 connected. Specifically, any two guide shafts 3 are parallel, and both ends of each guide shaft 3 are vertically fixedly connected to the corresponding fixed wall panels 2, and the four guide shafts 3 are arranged in a square.
[0021] A first sliding wall panel 4 and a second sliding wall panel 5 are mounted on the guide shaft 3, allowing both panels to slide freely along the guide shaft 3. A container 6 for loading the sample is fixedly mounted on the first sliding wall panel 4. The front of the container 6 is open, facing the second sliding wall panel 5. The sample 7 is placed into the container 6 through this opening. After loading, the second sliding wall panel 5 is slid across the opening of the container 6. Connectors 8 are provided on the rear outer wall of the container 6. By sliding the first sliding wall panel 4 to the appropriate position, the container 6 is securely connected to the corresponding fixed wall panel via connectors 8, preventing displacement of the container 6 during testing.
[0022] A through hole is provided in the middle of the second sliding wall panel 5, and an external device injects carbon dioxide into the sample through the through hole.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a first ballast assembly 9 and a first load-bearing assembly 10 are provided opposite to each other on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the container 6, and a second ballast assembly 11 and a second load-bearing assembly 12 are provided opposite to each other on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the container 6. The first ballast assembly 9 and the second ballast assembly 11 have the same structure, including a pressure plate, a heating plate and a ballast plate arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside, and the first load-bearing assembly 10 and the second load-bearing assembly 12 have the same structure, including a pressure plate and a heating plate arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside.
[0024] Among them, several electric heating tubes are embedded in the heating plate to provide a controllable high-temperature environment for the sample.
[0025] Among them, multiple hydraulic cylinders are provided in the ballast plate, and each hydraulic cylinder is connected to an external oil pump through an oil pipe passing through the side wall of the container. Specifically, the ballast plate in the first ballast assembly 9 provides pressure in the up and down directions for the sample 7, and the ballast plate in the second ballast assembly 11 provides pressure in the left and right directions for the sample 7.
[0026] The device also includes an ultrasonic instrument (not shown in the figure). The detection probe of the ultrasonic instrument is arranged on the surface of the sample. As carbon dioxide is injected, cracks will appear in the sample. The ultrasonic instrument can detect the size and development process of the cracks in the sample.
