Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid oxygen blasting technology, specifically a liquid oxygen expansion and fracturing device. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid oxygen fracturing technology is a technique that utilizes liquid oxygen (-183℃) mixed with an absorbent to form a fracturing mixture. It leverages the property that oxygen can rapidly transform from a liquid to a gaseous state in a short time (milliseconds), with a total expansion ratio as high as 860:1. This can create a quasi-static pressure of approximately 280-300 MPa within the borehole, acting on the borehole wall to cause rock fracturing and movement.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a liquid oxygen expansion and fracturing device, including a liquid storage pipe 1, with a first connector 2 and a second connector 3 respectively provided at both ends of the liquid storage pipe 1. Both ends of the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are provided with threaded joints. One end of the first connector 2 is connected to an exhaust pipe 4 and the other end is connected to the liquid storage pipe 1. The exhaust pipe 4 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 5 and a pointed tip 6 at the end of the exhaust pipe 4. A heater 7 is also provided inside the liquid storage pipe 1. A constant pressure shear plate 9 is provided inside the first connector 2. The device is assembled and placed into a pre-prepared drill hole. Then, liquid oxygen is filled into the liquid storage pipe 1, and the heater 7 is activated. The liquid oxygen expands due to heat, and the constant pressure shear plate 9 is subjected to pressure and ruptures. The expanded liquid oxygen enters the exhaust pipe 4 and releases pressure rapidly through the exhaust holes 5 to cause an explosion.

[0023] As one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, liquid oxygen is stored in a high-pressure storage tube 1 and needs to be heated for detonation. The high pressure and heating environment may accelerate the corrosion of the cylinder by the oxygen. Therefore, an inner protective cylinder 11 is installed inside the storage tube 1, and end protective pads 12 are installed at both ends of the inner protective cylinder 11. The inner protective cylinder 11 protects the inner wall of the storage tube 1, and the end protective pads 12 protect the inner end of the storage tube 1.

[0024] Specifically, the end protective pad 12 includes a pad body 121, with an inclined surface 122 on the pad body 121 and an inner protective cylinder engaging part 123 at the end of the inclined surface 122. In use, the end protective pad 12 is first inserted into the two ends of the inner cavity of the liquid storage tube 1, and then the inner protective cylinder 11 is bent and inserted into the liquid storage tube 1. The inclined surface 122 causes the inner protective cylinder 11 to slide outward, so that the end of the inner protective cylinder 11 is engaged in the inner protective cylinder engaging part 123.

[0025] Specifically, the inner diameter of the end protective pad 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the threaded joint of the second connector 3. After the liquid storage tube 1 is connected to the second connector 3, the end protective pad 12 can block the connection gap between the liquid storage tube 1 and the second connector 3, so that the end protective pad 12 also has a sealing function and improves the sealing effect.

[0026] As one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, an installation structure for a constant pressure shearing plate 9 is provided. An inner retaining ring 8 is provided inside the first connector 2, and a pressure ring 10 is provided on one side of the inner retaining ring 8. An internal thread is provided inside the first connector 2, and an external thread is provided on the outer side of the pressure ring 10. The pressure ring 10 is screwed into the first connector 2, and the edge of the constant pressure shearing plate 9 is located between the inner retaining ring 8 and the pressure ring 10. During installation, simply insert the constant pressure shearing plate 9 and then tighten the pressure ring 10, which is very convenient.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
