[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0029] Please combine Figures 1 to 4 A rock fissure seepage simulation experimental device includes a cylinder 1, with an upper cover plate 2 and a lower cover plate 4 respectively installed at the top and bottom of the cylinder 1. A connecting ring 3 is fitted and fixed on the outer side of the cylinder 1 near the bottom.

[0030] The cylinder 1 contains a correction block 6, and the bottom of the correction block 6 is provided with an upper rock sample 9. The top of the upper cover plate 2 is threaded with an adjusting rod 5, the bottom of the adjusting rod 5 extends into the cylinder 1 and is rotatably connected to the top of the correction block 6.

[0031] A lower rock sample 11 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the cylinder 1, which is directly opposite the position of the upper rock sample 9. A gap is left between the bottom of the upper rock sample 9 and the top of the lower rock sample 11.

[0032] The bottom of the lower cover plate 4 is fitted with a water inlet pipe connector 12. The bottom of the cylinder barrel 1 and the rock mass of the lower rock sample 11 are both provided with through holes for the water inlet pipe connector 12 to pass through in sequence.

[0033] The outer side of the correction block 6 has an annular cylindrical space 7, and a drain pipe connector 13 that connects to the annular cylindrical space 7 is inserted and fixed on the outer wall of the cylinder 1.

[0034] The docking ring 3 and the lower cover plate 4 are sealed and fixed to each other by a locking assembly.

[0035] The bottom of the inner side of the cylinder 1 and the bottom of the correction block 6 are both provided with receiving grooves. The upper rock sample 9 is bonded and fixed in the receiving groove at the bottom of the correction block 6, and the lower rock sample 11 is bonded and fixed in the receiving groove at the bottom of the inner side of the cylinder 1.

[0036] The locking assembly includes two insert rods 20 that are fixed to the top of the lower cover plate 4, and the bottom of the cylinder 1 has an insertion hole 21 that engages with the insert rods 20.

[0037] Two centripetally curved first limiting grooves 14 are opened opposite each other on the annular surface of the docking ring 3. A rotating ring 15 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the cylinder 1. Two radially extended second limiting grooves 16 are opened opposite each other on the annular surface of the rotating ring 15. A limiting rod 17 is slidably engaged in both of the first limiting grooves 14. The top of the limiting rod 17 is slidably engaged in the corresponding second limiting groove 16. A centripetally extended locking rod 18 is vertically fixed on the outer wall of the limiting rod 17. A first locking hole 19 is opened on the outer wall of the cylinder 1 to engage with the locking rod 18.

[0038] The outer wall of the insertion rod 20 is provided with a second locking hole 22 that engages with the locking rod 18.

[0039] The cylinder wall of cylinder 1 has a radially formed groove 24 for the insertion of a locking rod 18. A piston 25, which presses against the locking rod 18, is installed in the groove 24. The cylinder wall of cylinder 1 has an axially formed flow channel 23 that connects to the groove 24. The bottom of cylinder 1 has an annular groove 34 that connects to the flow channel 23. A bladder 26 that completely covers the opening of the annular groove 34 is provided. Hydraulic oil is contained in the groove 24, the flow channel 23, and the annular groove 34. The top of the lower cover plate 4 has an annular locking groove 27.

[0040] When the lever 18 presses against the piston 25, it squeezes the hydraulic oil in the flow channel 23, forcing the bladder 26 to expand and deform to seal and engage with the slot 27.

[0041] The top of the docking ring 3 is rotatably inserted with a rotating rod 28 parallel to the axis of the cylinder 1. A gear 29 is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the rotating rod 28. A toothed ring 30 that cooperates with the gear 29 is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the rotating ring 15.

[0042] A disc 31 is fixed to the top of the rotating rod 28. A locking rod 32 is axially inserted on the disc 31. A locking hole 33 is opened on the top of the docking ring 3 to engage with the locking rod 32.

[0043] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0044] During assembly, the bottom of the docking ring 3 is placed on the top of the lower cover plate 4, so that the insertion rod 20 is inserted into the insertion hole 21. Then, the rotating ring 15 is rotated to rub and squeeze the limiting rod 17 through the groove wall of the second limiting groove 16. Under the combined limiting action of the first limiting groove 14, the limiting rod 17 drives the locking rod 18 to move radially to be inserted into the first locking hole 19 of the cylinder 1, the second locking hole 22 of the insertion rod 20 and the plug groove 24 in sequence. The piston 25 is pressed in the plug groove 24, so that the piston 25 squeezes the hydraulic oil in the flow channel 23, thereby causing the bladder 26 at the groove opening of the annular groove 34 to expand and deform and be inserted into the locking groove 27 of the lower cover plate 4, so as to achieve a sealed and fixed connection between the cylinder 1 and the lower cover plate 4.

[0045] During the simulation experiment, two circular rock samples, upper sample 9 and lower sample 11, were cut from the fracture (joint) surface of the rock. A through hole was drilled in the center of the lower sample 11. The lower sample 11 was bonded to the receiving groove at the bottom of the inner side of the cylinder 1 with sealant, and the upper sample 9 was bonded to the receiving groove at the bottom of the correction block 6 with sealant. During bonding, it was ensured that the joint surface of the rock sample was perpendicular to the bottom wall of the cylinder and the axis of the correction block 6, respectively. Then, the correction block 6 and the upper sample 9 were placed into the cylinder 1, and the upper cover plate 2 was installed on the top of the cylinder 1. The distance between the rock samples could be precisely adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 5 with a screwdriver (the height of the screw protruding from the upper cover plate 2 was measured with a height vernier caliper).

[0046] Water enters the gap between the upper and lower rock samples through the inlet pipe joint 12 and flows radially. It then passes through the gap between the straightening block 6 and the cylinder 1, entering the annular space 7 of the straightening block 6, and is discharged through the drain pipe joint 13. The torque applied by rotating the screwdriver allows one to feel the close contact between the joint surfaces of the two rock samples. The height of the adjusting rod 5 protruding from the upper cover plate 2 at this point is measured with calipers. During the seepage test, rotating the adjusting rod 5 changes the gap between the joint surfaces of the two rock samples. This allows for the acquisition of permeability characteristics corresponding to different gaps.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
