Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of rock mass testing equipment, specifically relating to a test device for testing the relationship between damage and permeability changes in fractured rock mass. Background Technology

[0002] In actual underground engineering, fractured rock masses are typically rich in various weak structural surfaces such as joints and fissures. When excavation activities are carried out within these masses, the fractured rock masses within the affected area will suffer varying degrees of damage, resulting in significant changes in their strength and permeability. If adverse geological structures such as water-rich karst caves, underground rivers, faults, or collapse columns exist in the surrounding area, collapse instability and water inrush accidents can easily occur, leading to severe losses to the project. Therefore, studying the relationship between damage and permeability changes in fractured rock masses under different confining pressures is of great significance for ensuring the safety of underground engineering projects under water-rich conditions. Traditional methods typically employ a rock servo triaxial testing system to measure the permeability of rocks during the full stress-strain process. However, this method has several drawbacks: ① The rock servo triaxial testing system is expensive and complex to operate, hindering its widespread adoption; ② The test samples are generally intact rocks, rarely with pre-existing joints and fissures, making it difficult to reflect the naturally occurring weak structural features of fractured rock masses in actual engineering projects; ③ During the test, the deformation and fracture propagation characteristics of the sample surface cannot be directly observed, making it difficult to analyze the damage and failure of the fractured rock mass, and even more difficult to obtain the relationship between fractured rock mass damage and permeability. Therefore, given that traditional methods cannot adequately address the relationship between fractured rock mass damage and permeability, and cannot provide crucial support for the safe and stable control of underground engineering under water-rich conditions, there is an urgent need for a testing device capable of measuring the deformation, fracture, strength, and permeability characteristics of fractured rock mass samples under different confining pressures.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the base plate of the test platform is a rectangular steel plate.

[0015] Furthermore, to facilitate assembly and maintenance, the wide-end fixed frame has multiple bolt holes J around the rectangular window; the glass plate is fixedly connected to the wide-end fixed frame by multiple connecting bolts F passing through the multiple bolt holes J.

[0016] Furthermore, to ensure the reliability of the test, the test platform base plate, sample base frame, long end fixing plate, wide end fixing plate, side pressure plate, lateral reaction plate and upper pressure plate are all made of steel plate.

[0017] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the injected water can be evenly diffused to the entire surface of the sample, and at the same time, to ensure that the seeping water flows out of the water outlet without obstruction, the inner side of the glass plate is evenly provided with several vertical grooves along the length direction.

[0018] Furthermore, in order to facilitate water injection operations under rated water pressure conditions, and to facilitate the sensing of water flow through the fractured rock mass under rated water pressure conditions, thereby facilitating the determination of the permeability of the fractured rock mass under different confining pressure conditions, a stabilizing pump and a flow meter are also included. The inlet end of the stabilizing pump is connected to the water tank through an inlet pipe, and its outlet end is connected to the inlet hole on the front glass plate through a water supply pipe.

[0020] Furthermore, to facilitate automated control processes, a controller is also included, which is connected to a pressure sensor, a flow meter, a camera, and a stabilizing water pump.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the controller is an industrial computer.

[0022] In this invention, by setting a test platform base plate, a fixed foundation can be provided for the bidirectional loading unit, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of bidirectional loading. Two bolt holes C are provided on the web of the sample base frame, and two bolt holes D corresponding to the two bolt holes C are provided on the bottom of the two wide-end fixing plates. This facilitates the use of connecting bolts to fix the two wide-end fixing plates to the front and rear sides of the web of the sample base plate, thus forming a three-way open sample receiving cavity between the sample base frame and the two wide-end fixing plates. This sample receiving cavity provides loading space for the rock sample. Water-stop rubber is embedded on both sides of the web of the sample base frame, effectively ensuring the sealing performance at the connection between the sample base frame and the two wide-end fixing plates, helping to prevent water leakage from the bottom of the sample receiving cavity. A pair of bolt holes A are provided on the two wing plates of the sample base frame, and a pair of bolt holes B corresponding to the pair of bolt holes A are provided on the bottom of the two long-end fixing plates. This facilitates the use of connecting bolts to fix the two long-end fixing plates to the two wing plates of the sample base plate. A large guide hole and two small guide holes are provided on the long-end fixing plate to facilitate guiding and supporting the sample. The wide-end fixing plate consists of a wide-end fixing frame and two extension arms. This allows for easy connection between the two extension arms and the two long-end fixing plates, effectively increasing the stability of the connection between the sample base, the two wide-end fixing plates, and the two long-end fixing plates. This enhances the constraint between the sample base and each fixing plate, ensuring the overall stability of the sample cavity. Furthermore, the two extension arms create a gap between the wide-end fixing frame and the long-end fixing plates, facilitating the assembly of the lateral pressure transmission mechanism. The main guide rod and two auxiliary guide rods in the lateral pressure transmission mechanism are slidably assembled in the large guide hole and the two small guide holes. Simultaneously, the side pressure plate is slidably and sealingly assembled inside the side opening of the sample cavity. This ensures that the lateral pressure transmission mechanism can only undergo lateral displacement in the left-right direction, without any lateral position in the front-back direction, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of lateral loading. By fixing a bearing end to the outer end of the main axial rod, the bearing end can be used to receive and transmit force, which is then transferred to the side pressure plate via the main axial rod. Simultaneously, the lateral reaction force can be transmitted to the force sensor on the outside via the main axial rod and the bearing end, facilitating real-time acquisition of the lateral stress state of the fractured rock mass. Water-stop rubber is embedded on both sides of the inner end of the side pressure plate to ensure a sliding seal between the side pressure plate and the two wide-end fixed plates, preventing water leakage during lateral loading. Two lateral reaction plates are fixedly installed on the outside of the two long-end fixed plates, and connected by two lateral reaction reinforcement rods, effectively ensuring the connection strength of the lateral reaction plates and thus providing a stable reaction force application effect. Sliding through holes are provided on the lateral reaction plates to facilitate guidance of the worm gear.Two manual worm gear reducers are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the two lateral reaction plates, and the worms of the manual worm gear reducers are slidably inserted into the sliding through holes. A pressure sensor and a flexible pressure plate are then installed on the inner end of the worms. This allows for manual cranking control of the worms on both sides to move in opposite directions, thereby pushing the two lateral force transmission mechanisms to move in opposite directions, facilitating the application of lateral loading forces to the fractured rock mass. The upper pressure plate of the vertical loading unit is slidably inserted into the inner side of the upper opening of the sample receiving cavity. Water-stop rubber strips are embedded on both the front and rear sides of the lower edge of the upper pressure plate to ensure the sealing performance between the upper pressure plate and the two wide-end fixed plates, preventing water leakage from the upper opening of the sample during vertical loading. The force transmission rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper pressure plate via a variable cross-section connector, facilitating good integration with traditional servo presses. This allows for convenient application of vertical loads to the fractured rock mass and real-time testing of the current vertical stress state of the fractured rock mass. A water inlet is provided in the middle of the front glass plate, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the rear glass plate. This allows for easy water injection under rated pressure conditions using the water inlet, and also facilitates the collection of seepage flow rate using the water outlet. This makes it easy to obtain the water flow rate through the fractured rock mass under rated water pressure conditions.

[0023] The device has a reasonable structure and good stability. It can not only conduct vertical loading tests on fractured rock samples or similar materials, but also conduct lateral unloading tests on fractured rock samples or similar materials. Using this device, the deformation, fracture, and permeability variation characteristics of fractured rock samples under different stress states can be tested. It has many advantages such as being economical and flexible, easy to operate, and easy to promote. Attached Figure Description

The stabilizing water pump is turned on, and the flow meter values ​​are recorded under different pressure states during the test. When the fractured rock mass sample is re-fractured and the pressure change displayed by the servo press is not obvious, the test is stopped and the stabilizing water pump is turned off.

[0048] In this invention, by setting a test platform base plate, a fixed foundation can be provided for the bidirectional loading unit, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of bidirectional loading. Two bolt holes C are provided on the web of the sample base frame, and two bolt holes D corresponding to the two bolt holes C are provided on the bottom of the two wide-end fixing plates. This facilitates the use of connecting bolts to fix the two wide-end fixing plates to the front and rear sides of the web of the sample base plate, thus forming a three-way open sample receiving cavity between the sample base frame and the two wide-end fixing plates. This sample receiving cavity provides loading space for the rock sample. Water-stop rubber is embedded on both sides of the web of the sample base frame, effectively ensuring the sealing performance at the connection between the sample base frame and the two wide-end fixing plates, helping to prevent water leakage from the bottom of the sample receiving cavity. A pair of bolt holes A are provided on the two wing plates of the sample base frame, and a pair of bolt holes B corresponding to the pair of bolt holes A are provided on the bottom of the two long-end fixing plates. This facilitates the use of connecting bolts to fix the two long-end fixing plates to the two wing plates of the sample base plate. A large guide hole and two small guide holes are provided on the long-end fixing plate to facilitate guiding and supporting the sample. The wide-end fixing plate consists of a wide-end fixing frame and two extension arms. This allows for easy connection between the two extension arms and the two long-end fixing plates, effectively increasing the stability of the connection between the sample base, the two wide-end fixing plates, and the two long-end fixing plates. This enhances the constraint between the sample base and each fixing plate, ensuring the overall stability of the sample cavity. Furthermore, the two extension arms create a gap between the wide-end fixing frame and the long-end fixing plates, facilitating the assembly of the lateral pressure transmission mechanism. The main guide rod and two auxiliary guide rods in the lateral pressure transmission mechanism are slidably assembled in the large guide hole and the two small guide holes. Simultaneously, the side pressure plate is slidably and sealingly assembled inside the side opening of the sample cavity. This ensures that the lateral pressure transmission mechanism can only undergo lateral displacement in the left-right direction, without any lateral position in the front-back direction, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of lateral loading. By fixing a bearing end to the outer end of the main axial rod, the bearing end can be used to receive and transmit force, which is then transferred to the side pressure plate via the main axial rod. Simultaneously, the lateral reaction force can be transmitted to the force sensor on the outside via the main axial rod and the bearing end, facilitating real-time acquisition of the lateral stress state of the fractured rock mass. Water-stop rubber is embedded on both sides of the inner end of the side pressure plate to ensure a sliding seal between the side pressure plate and the two wide-end fixed plates, preventing water leakage during lateral loading. Two lateral reaction plates are fixedly installed on the outside of the two long-end fixed plates, and connected by two lateral reaction reinforcement rods, effectively ensuring the connection strength of the lateral reaction plates and thus providing a stable reaction force application effect. Sliding through holes are provided on the lateral reaction plates to facilitate guidance of the worm gear.Two manual worm gear reducers are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the two lateral reaction plates, and the worms of the manual worm gear reducers are slidably inserted into the sliding through holes. A pressure sensor and a flexible pressure plate are then installed on the inner end of the worms. This allows for manual cranking control of the worms on both sides to move in opposite directions, thereby pushing the two lateral force transmission mechanisms to move in opposite directions, facilitating the application of lateral loading forces to the fractured rock mass. The upper pressure plate of the vertical loading unit is slidably inserted into the inner side of the upper opening of the sample receiving cavity. Water-stop rubber strips are embedded on both the front and rear sides of the lower edge of the upper pressure plate to ensure the sealing performance between the upper pressure plate and the two wide-end fixed plates, preventing water leakage from the upper opening of the sample during vertical loading. The force transmission rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper pressure plate via a variable cross-section connector, facilitating good integration with traditional servo presses. This allows for convenient application of vertical loads to the fractured rock mass and real-time testing of the current vertical stress state of the fractured rock mass. A water inlet is provided in the middle of the front glass plate, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the rear glass plate. This allows for easy water injection under rated pressure conditions using the water inlet, and also facilitates the collection of seepage flow rate using the water outlet. This makes it easy to obtain the water flow rate through the fractured rock mass under rated water pressure conditions.

[0049] The device has a reasonable structure and good stability. It can not only conduct vertical loading tests on fractured rock samples or similar materials, but also conduct lateral unloading tests on fractured rock samples or similar materials. Using this device, the deformation, fracture, and permeability variation characteristics of fractured rock samples under different stress states can be tested. It has many advantages such as being economical and flexible, easy to operate, and easy to promote.
