AI Technical Summary
When the existing double-plug water pressure testing device is used in holes with a small inner diameter, the difference between the outer diameter of the upper plug and the lower plug and the outer diameter of the perforated pipe is not large, which makes it difficult to set up the pressure pipe and affects the drilling efficiency and water pressure testing efficiency.
The integrated tube structure combines the upper plug, lower plug, and pressure testing pipe into one unit. The internal space of the integrated tube is divided into two cavities by a partition, and first and second connecting pipes are set in the cavities respectively. This allows one channel of water or hydraulic fluid to be injected into the upper and lower plugs to stop the water flow, while the other channel of water is injected into the borehole for water pressure testing.
The installation process was simplified, eliminating the need for a pressure pipe between the upper and lower plugs, thus improving the efficiency of drilling and water pressure testing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological exploration technology, and more specifically, to a pressure water test device for engineering geological exploration. Background Technology
[0002] Current water conservancy projects, such as deep-buried tunnels, high dams, and karst formations, often involve drilling depths exceeding 300 meters. The drilling process requires in-situ water pressure tests. During deep-hole drilling, the borehole inclination must be maintained to prevent borehole failures. Therefore, wireline drilling is commonly used. Wireline core drilling is characterized by its finer core samples: an 80mm outer diameter drill bit, a 78mm outer diameter drill rod, a 60mm outer diameter core tube, and an approximately 52mm inner diameter. The extracted core sample has an outer diameter of approximately 50mm, which meets the minimum size requirement for rock sample testing. This results in a relatively small inner diameter borehole and necessitates water pressure tests every 5 meters. Using conventional top-pressure water-stopping equipment, drilling must be initiated and de-injected every 5 meters. At deeper depths, this time alone can take 3-4 hours, significantly slowing down the drilling rate. The advantages of double-plug water-stopping become apparent. After drilling is complete, upper and lower plugs are used for water-stopping, improving drilling efficiency and allowing for concentrated water pressure tests.
[0003] The existing double-plug water pressure testing device includes a water-stopping device and a water supply device. The water-stopping device includes an upper plug, a lower plug, a pressure-pressing pipe, and a hydraulic device. The hydraulic device is located on the ground and is connected to the upper and lower plugs sequentially through the pressure-pressing pipe. The water supply device includes a permeable perforated pipe and a water pipe connecting the perforated pipe and the ground equipment. Both the upper and lower plugs are hollow cylinders. The upper plug is fitted onto the outside of the water pipe, and the lower plug is fitted onto the lower end of the perforated pipe. The pressure-pressing pipe between the upper and lower plugs is located on the outside of the perforated pipe. When using this existing double-plug water pressure testing device, the water-stopping device and the water supply device must first be assembled. Secondly, when applied to holes with small inner diameters, the difference in outer diameter between the upper and lower plugs and the perforated pipe is not significant, making it inconvenient to install a pressure-pressing pipe between the upper and lower plugs.

[0028] 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.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the water pressure testing device for engineering geological exploration in this embodiment includes an integral tube 1, an upper plug 6, a lower plug 7, a first connecting pipe, and a second connecting pipe 8. A partition 2 is provided inside the integral tube 1, dividing the integral tube 1 into a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4. The upper and lower sidewalls of the integral tube 1 have first water injection holes communicating with the first cavity 3, and the middle sidewall of the integral tube 1 has a second water injection hole 5 communicating with the second cavity 4. The upper plug 6 and lower plug 7 are both hollow cylindrical structures, respectively fixedly sleeved on the upper and lower parts of the integral tube 1, and respectively communicating with the first water injection holes in the upper and lower parts of the integral tube 1. The first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe 8 are both located at the upper end of the integral tube 1, with the first connecting pipe communicating with the first cavity 3 and the second connecting pipe 8 communicating with the second cavity 4.
[0031] Specifically, the integrated tube 1 is provided with two parallel partitions 2. The first cavity 3 is located on the side of the two partitions 2 that are far apart from each other. The second cavity 4 is located between the two partitions 2. The first connecting pipe includes a first connecting branch pipe 9 and a second connecting branch pipe 10. The first connecting branch pipe 9 and the second connecting branch pipe 10 are respectively connected to the two first cavities 3, and the first connecting branch pipe 9 and the second connecting branch pipe 10 are connected.
[0032] Each of the two first cavities 3 has a first water inlet hole on its outer side, and each of the two sides of the second cavity 4 has a second water inlet hole 5. A water nozzle 21 is fixed to the outer side of each first water inlet hole. The inner sides of the upper plug 6 and lower plug 7 have through holes that are compatible with and correspond to the water nozzle 21. The water nozzle 21 passes through each through hole and is fixedly connected to the upper plug 6 or lower plug 7. The connection method between the water nozzle 21 and the upper plug 6 and lower plug 7 can be adhesive bonding, heat fusion, or other similar methods.
[0033] In this embodiment, the end of the second connecting branch pipe 10 away from the integrated pipe 1 is provided with a first connector 11, and the end of the second connecting pipe 8 away from the integrated pipe 1 is provided with a second connector. In use, the first connector 11 is connected to the hydraulic device 23 on the ground through the pressure pipe 22, and the second connector is connected to the water tank or reservoir 25 on the ground through the pressure pipe 24. The pressure pipe 24 is also connected to a water pump 26, and a flow meter 27 and a pressure gauge 28 are provided on the pressure pipe 24.
[0034] The working principle of the water pressure testing device used for engineering geological exploration in this embodiment is as follows:
[0035] In use, the first connector 11 is connected to the hydraulic device 23 on the ground via the pressure pipe 22, and the second connector is connected to the water tank or reservoir 25 on the ground via the pressure pipe 24. The pressure pipe 24 is also connected to a water pump 26, and a flow meter 27 and a pressure gauge 28 are installed on the pressure pipe 24. One stream of water or hydraulic fluid is injected into the first cavity inside the integrated pipe 1 through the first connecting pipe, and then injected into the upper plug 6 and lower plug 7 through the first water injection hole to stop the water flow. Another stream of water is injected into the second cavity inside the integrated pipe 1 through the second connecting pipe 8, and then injected into the borehole through the second water injection hole 5 for a water pressure test. The integrated structure saves the steps of installing the upper plug 6 and lower plug 7, and also eliminates the need for the pressure pipe 22 between the upper plug 6 and lower plug 7.
[0036] Example 2:
[0037] like Figures 4-6As shown, in this embodiment, a locking device is provided above the upper plug 6. The locking device includes a locking plug 18 and a locking plate 19. The locking plug 18 has a hollow cylindrical structure and is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the integrated tube 1. The outer wall of the integrated tube 1 has a third water injection hole communicating with the first cavity 3. The locking plug 18 communicates with the third water injection hole, and the locking plate 19 is fixed to the outside of the locking plug 18. Preferably, multiple locking plates 19 are distributed in a ring array. The side of the locking plate 19 away from the locking plug 18 is provided with an anti-slip layer 20. A water nozzle 21 is also fixed to the outside of the third water injection hole. A through hole is provided on the inner side of the locking plug 18. The water nozzle 21 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the locking plug 18.
[0038] By setting the fastener, water is injected into the fastening plug 18 to expand and squeeze the fastening plate 19, so that the fastening plate 19 is tightly connected to the inner wall of the borehole, thereby fixing the position of the integrated tube 1 and preventing displacement during the water pressure test.
[0039] Example 3:
[0040] like Figures 7-9 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the second connecting branch pipe 10 furthest from the integrated pipe 1 is connected to the second connecting pipe 8. A third connector 13 is provided at the end of the second connecting pipe 8 furthest from the integrated pipe 1. A first solenoid valve 14 is provided on the second connecting branch pipe 10, and a second solenoid valve 15 is provided on the second connecting pipe 8 between the second connecting branch pipe 10 and the integrated pipe 1. A drain pipe 16 is connected to the second connecting branch pipe 10, and the drain pipe 16 is located between the first connecting branch pipe 9 and the first solenoid valve 14. A third solenoid valve 17 is provided on the drain pipe 16.
[0041] In use, the third connector 13 is connected to a water tank or reservoir 25 on the ground via a pressure pipe 24. The pressure pipe 24 is also connected to a water pump 26, and a flow meter 27 and a pressure gauge 28 are installed on the pressure pipe 24. First, open the first solenoid valve 14, close the second solenoid valve 15 and the third solenoid valve 17, and inject water into the upper plug 6, lower plug 7 and locking plug 18. Then, close the first solenoid valve 14, open the second solenoid valve 15, close the third solenoid valve 17, and inject water into the borehole between the upper plug 6 and the lower plug 7 to conduct a pressure test. After the pressure test is completed, open the third solenoid valve 17 to drain the water, reducing the volume of the upper plug 6, lower plug 7 and locking plug 18, so that the pressure test can be carried out at the next location.
[0042] The pressure test device for engineering geological exploration in this embodiment omits the pressure pipe 22 and hydraulic device 23, simplifying the installation steps.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
