Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microfoam generation and performance evaluation technology, specifically a microfoam vortex rotation shearing generation device based on magnetic coupling drive. Background Technology

[0002] In the development of microfoam-related application technologies, in order to realize the effective application of microfoam in specific scenarios, it is necessary to ensure its particle size adaptability, generation stability and performance monitorability. At present, there are significant technical shortcomings in the research and control of microfoam generation and performance evaluation in the industry. 1. Insufficient particle size control precision: It is difficult to accurately control the foam particle size to match the size of the key channel structure in the target application scenario, which makes it impossible for the generated foam to enter the fine channel smoothly, affecting the subsequent effect; 2. Insufficient gas-liquid mixing: The mixing method of gas and foaming liquid lacks synergistic optimization design, resulting in insufficient contact and low mixing uniformity. This not only limits foaming efficiency but also easily produces foam with uneven shape, making it difficult to meet the continuous and stable application requirements. 3. Insufficient functional synergy: The foam generation and performance evaluation stages are independent of each other, requiring additional equipment to complete performance testing. It is impossible to obtain stability data in real time during the foam generation process, resulting in a detection lag problem. At the same time, it increases the equipment investment cost and operational complexity. 4. Weak adaptability to extreme working conditions: Under complex environments such as high pressure and high temperature, the observation and analysis components of the existing device are unable to withstand harsh conditions, cannot effectively capture changes in foam morphology and accurately analyze its stability, thus limiting its application expansion in high-requirement scenarios. 5. Poor long-term operational stability: Some devices that rely on specific microporous structures to achieve foam refinement are prone to performance degradation due to structural blockage, requiring frequent shutdowns for maintenance, affecting the continuity of experiments or applications, and reducing overall efficiency. Therefore, developing an integrated experimental device for microfoam generation and performance analysis that can achieve precise microfoam generation, efficient gas-liquid mixing, and simultaneous real-time evaluation of foam stability (especially suitable for high temperature and high pressure conditions) has become a key requirement for solving the above-mentioned industry problems and ensuring the application effect and experimental data reliability of microfoam in scenarios such as core displacement.
