DETAILED DESCRIPTION Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. The same or similar elements are denoted by same reference numerals in different drawings unless indicated otherwise. The embodiments described herein with reference to drawings are explanatory, and used to generally understand the present disclosure. The embodiments shall not be construed to limit the present disclosure. The slope coal shearer and the split platform supporting the slope coal shearer according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for preparing a rock-like material in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for preparing the rock-like material in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following operations.
In block S101, an aggregate composition and a volume percent of an aggregate adhesive of a target rock are obtained. It should be noted that the target rock is composed of the aggregate and the aggregate adhesive. The aggregate includes a material of particles of the target rock, and the aggregate adhesive includes an adhesive material (i.e., an adhesive matrix) of the target rock.
Optionally, the aggregate composition and the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive of the target rock may be obtained from statistical data of the target rock, and the statistical data included data of the composition of the aggregate and the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive. Optionally, the aggregate composition and the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive of the target rock may be obtained by detecting the target rock. For example, the target rock may be scanned by a computed tomography (CT) imaging machine. The composition of the aggregate and the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive of the target rock may be obtained according to a scanning result. For example, the target rock may be sampled by a coring machine to obtain a target rock sample, and the sample may be scanned by the CT imaging machine to obtain the aggregate composition and the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive according to the scanning result. In block S102, a first epoxy resin, a first rosin and a first curing agent, each having a corresponding mass according to the aggregate composition, are mixed, stirred and cured to obtain a cured product, and the cured product is crushed to obtain an epoxy resin aggregate having a size identical to an average diameter of aggregate particles of the target rock. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the epoxy resin aggregate prepared by the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent may be used as the aggregate of the rock-like material. In preparing the epoxy resin aggregate, the mass of each of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent is determined according to the aggregate composition of the target rock, and the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent, each of the corresponding mass, are mixed, stirred and cured to obtain the cured product, and the cured product is crushed to obtain the epoxy resin aggregate, the epoxy resin aggregate has a size (an average particle diameter) identical to the average aggregate particle diameter of the target rock. Optionally, the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent, each having the corresponding mass, are mixed and stirred for a duration less than a preset duration threshold, which may avoid the mixture of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent to be prematurely cured, and ensure a stable strength of the epoxy resin aggregate. The preset duration threshold may be set according to the actual situation, for example, 10 minutes.
Optionally, after mixing and stirring the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent each having the corresponding mass, the obtained mixture may be cured in a constant temperature and humidity chamber to obtain the epoxy resin aggregate with a stable strength. It is understood that the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent in the corresponding mass ratio are mixed, stirred and cured to obtain the cured product, and the cured product is crushed into particles having the size identical to the average aggregate particle diameter of the target rock. In this way, the obtained epoxy resin aggregate is more similar in structure to the aggregate of the target rock, which improves a similarity in a microstructure of the epoxy resin aggregate. Optionally, the target rock may be scanned by the CT imaging machine, and the average particle diameter of the aggregate of the target rock may be obtained according to the scanning result. Optionally, the cured product may be crushed by an aggregate crusher. In block S103, a second epoxy resin, a second rosin and a second curing agent, each having a corresponding mass according to a strength scale of the rock-like material, are mixed and stirred to obtain a liquid epoxy resin adhesive.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the liquid epoxy resin adhesive prepared from the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent is used as the adhesive of the rock-like material. In preparing the liquid epoxy resin adhesive, the mass of the second epoxy resin, the mass of the second rosin and the mass of the second curing agent are determined according to the strength scale of the rock-like material, and the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent are mixed in the corresponding masses to obtain the liquid epoxy resin adhesive.
The strength scale of the rock-like material is a ratio of a strength of the rock-like material to a strength of the target rock. For example, in the case of the rock-like material having a strength of 0.1 MPa, and the target rock having a strength of 30 MPa, the strength scale of the rock-like material is 1:300. Optionally, obtaining the strength scale of the rock-like material may include obtaining a size scale in a dynamic simulation experiment, and determining the strength scale of the rock-like material by a dynamic similarity criterion according to the size scale in the dynamic simulation experiment and a density scale of a polymer material. The size scale in the dynamic simulation experiment is a ratio of a size of a similar model made of the rock-like material to a size of a target model made of the target rock in the dynamic simulation experiment. For example, if the similar model of the rock-like material and the target model of the target rock are cubes, a side length of the similar model is 5 meters, and a side length of the target model is also 5 meters, the size scale in the dynamic simulation experiment is 1:1, and the dynamic simulation experiment is an original proportion experiment. The density scale of the polymer materials is a ratio of a density of the polymer to a density of the target rock, which is a constant value of 1.1:2.5. The dynamic similarity criterion may include a variety of criteria, such as a similarity criterion between an elastic force and an inertial force, and a similarity criterion between an elastic force and a self-gravity, etc., which may be selected according to the actual situations. In the related art, the strength scale of the rock-like material is generally obtained by the similarity criterion of the elastic force and the self-gravity. The similarity criterion of the elastic force and the self-gravity can only ensure that a performance of the similar model before damage is similar to that of the target model, but cannot ensure that a performance of the similar model after damage is similar to that of the target model. That is, the similarity criterion of the elastic force and the self-gravity cannot simulate the damage process of the target model, and the accuracy of the experiment is low.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the strength scale of the rock-like material may be obtained by the similarity criterion of the elastic force and the inertial force, which may ensure that the performances of the similar model before and after damage are similar to those of the target model, thereby improving the mechanical similarity between the rock-like material and the target rock, realizing the simulation of the damage process of the target model, and improving the accuracy. Optionally, a formula for obtaining the strength scale of the rock-like materials by using the similarity criterion of the elastic force and the inertial force is as follows:
Cc=CeCpCL
where Cc is the strength scale of the rock-like material, Ce is a modulus scale of the rock-like material, C is the density scale of the rock-like material, CL is the size scale in the dynamic simulation experiment. It should be noted that the modulus scale Ce of the rock-like material is a ratio of a modulus of the rock-like material to a modulus of the target rock. Optionally, the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent each having the corresponding mass are mixed and stirred for a duration less than a preset duration threshold, which may prevent the mixture of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent from being cured, thereby obtaining the liquid epoxy resin adhesive. The preset duration threshold may be set according to the actual situations, for example, 10 minutes.
In block S104, the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive, each having a corresponding mass according to the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive, are mixed, stirred and cured to obtain the rock-like material. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the mass of the epoxy resin aggregate and the mass of the epoxy resin adhesive are obtained according to the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive, and the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive are mixed, stirred and cured to obtain the rock-like material. Optionally, obtaining the mass of the epoxy resin aggregate and the mass of the epoxy resin adhesive according to the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive may include determining a third mass ratio of the epoxy resin aggregate to the epoxy resin adhesive according to the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive, and determining a total desired mass of the epoxy resin aggregate and a total desired mass of the epoxy resin adhesive according to a total desired mass of the rock-like material and the third mass ratio. For example, if the third mass ratio of the epoxy resin aggregate to the epoxy resin adhesive is 5:1, and the total required mass of the rock-like material is 60 kg, the total required mass of the epoxy resin aggregate is 50 kg, and the total required mass of the epoxy resin adhesive is 10 kg. Optionally, after mixing and stirring the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive each having the corresponding mass, the obtained mixture of the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin may be poured into a mold for forming, the molded mixture may be replaced in a constant temperature chamber for maintenance, and the rock-like material with a stable strength may be obtained. The temperature of the constant temperature chamber may be 150 °C, and the maintenance time of the molded mixture in the constant temperature chamber may be 24 hours.
It is understood that the rock-like material made of cement, gypsum and sand in the related art generally have a high density and a high strength, and thus a relatively large impact energy will be generated during the damage process of the similar model in the experiment, which causes many safety problems to on-site personnel and construction plant. The rock-like material made of the epoxy resin polymer of the present disclosure has a low density, a low strength, and thus less impact energy is generated during the damage process of the similar model, which ensures the safety of the on-site personnel and the construction plant. It is understood that according to the similarity criterion of the elastic force and the inertial force, the modulus scale and the strength scale of the rock-like material are equal, and thus the rock-like material also has a low modulus, that is, has an elasto-brittle, and has mechanical properties similar to the target rock. It is understood that the epoxy resin has a high light transmittance, and the prepared rock-like material also has a high light transmittance, which is convenient for observing an internal structure of the material, such that the operators may observe the internal deformation and failure of the similar model during the damage process. In addition, the high light transmittance also contributes to printing the internal structure by a laser. Accordingly, according to the method for preparing the rock-like material in the present disclosure, the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive are respectively made of the epoxy resin, the rosin and the curing agent. The epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive are mixed, stirred and cured according to the volume percent of the aggregate adhesive to obtain the rock-like material. Compared with the rock-like material made of cement, gypsum and sand in the related art, the rock-like material made of epoxy resin in the method of the present disclosure has a low density, a low strength, and less impact energy is generated during the damage process of the similar model, which improves the safety of the on-site personnel and the construction plant. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG.2, block S102 of mixing, stirring and curing the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent each having the corresponding mass according to the aggregate composition may include the following operations. In block S201, a first mass ratio of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent may be determined according to the aggregate composition.
It is understood that as the composition of the aggregate of the target rock varies, the first mass ratio of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent for preparing the epoxy resin aggregate should also varies. Optionally, a list or table of a mapping relationship between the aggregate composition and the first mass ratio may be established in advance. After the aggregate composition is obtained, the first mass ratio of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent may be determined according to the mapping relationship or the mapping table to prepare the epoxy resin aggregate. The mapping relationship or the mapping table may be calibrated according to the actual situations. In block S202, a first desired mass of each of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent may be determined according to the total desired mass of the epoxy resin aggregate and the first mass ratio.
For example, if the first mass ratio of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent is 5:1:1, and the total desired mass of the epoxy resin aggregate is 70 kg, the first desired mass of the first epoxy resin is 50 kg, the first desired mass of the first rosin is 10 kg and the first desired mass of the first curing agent is 10 kg. It should be noted that the total desired mass of the epoxy resin aggregate may be determined in a way similar to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. In block S203, the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent each having the corresponding mass according to the first desired mass are mixed, stirred and cured. In this way, the first mass ratio of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent may be determined according to the aggregate composition of the target rock, and the first desired masses of the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent may be determined according to the total desired mass of the epoxy resin aggregate and the first mass ratio, such that the epoxy resin aggregate may be obtained by mixing, stirring and curing the first epoxy resin, the first rosin and the first curing agent each having the corresponding mass according to the first desired mass.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, block S103 of mixing and stirring the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent each having the corresponding mass according to the strength scale of the rock-like material to obtain the liquid epoxy resin adhesive may include the following operations. In block S301, a second mass ratio of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent is determined according to the strength scale of the rock-like material.
It is understood that as the strength scale of the rock-like material varies, and the second mass ratio of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent for preparing the liquid epoxy resin adhesive varies. Optionally, a list or table of a mapping relationship between the strength scale and the second mass ratio may be established in advance. After the strength scale is obtained, the second mass ratio of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent may be determined according to the mapping relationship or the mapping table to prepare the liquid epoxy resin adhesive. The mapping relationship or the mapping table may be calibrated according to the actual situations. In block S302, a second desired mass of each of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent is determined according to the total desired mass of the epoxy resin adhesive and the second mass ratio. In block S303, the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent each having the corresponding masses according to the second desired mass are mixed and stirred. It should be noted that the relevant contents of blocks S302 and S303 may refer to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. In this way, the second mass ratio of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent may be determined according to the strength scale of the rock-like material, and the second desired mass of each of the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent may be determined according to the total desired mass of the epoxy resin adhesive and the second mass ratio, such that the epoxy resin adhesive may be obtained by mixing, stirring and curing the second epoxy resin, the second rosin and the second curing agent each having the corresponding mass according to the second desired mass.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4, block S104 of mixing and stirring the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive each having the corresponding mass may include the following operations. In block S401, a porosity of the target rock is obtained. It should be noted that the porosity of the target rock is a volume percentage of pores in the target rock to a total volume of the target rock in a natural state. Optionally, the target rock may be scanned by a CT imaging machine, and the porosity may be obtained according to a scanning result. In block S402, a foaming agent or a defoaming agent having a corresponding mass is added according to the porosity during mixing and stirring the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive.
The foaming agent is used for increasing the porosity of the rock-like material, and the defoaming agent is used for decreasing the porosity of the rock-like material. It is understood that as the porosity of the target rock varies, and the mass of the foaming agent or the defoaming agent added into the rock-like material varies. Optionally, a list or table of a mapping relationship between the porosity and the foaming agent or the defoaming agent is established in advance. After the porosity is obtained, the mass of the foaming agent or the defoaming agent may be determined according to the mapping relationship or the mapping table to prepare the rock-like material. The mapping relationship or the mapping table may be calibrated according to the actual situations. In this way, in mixing and stirring the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive, the foaming agent or the defoaming agent may be added in the corresponding mass according to the porosity, such that the porosity of the rock-like material is similar to that of the target rock, and the rock-like material is more similar in structure to the target rock, which improves the similarity in a microstructure of the rock-like material. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after block S104 of mixing, stirring and curing the epoxy resin aggregate and the epoxy resin adhesive each having the corresponding mass to obtain the rock-like material, a macrostructure surface of the rock-like material may be engraved by a laser engraving machine according to fracture structure data of the target rock. It is understood that the target rock may have a fracture structure. In the present method, based on the high light transmittance of the epoxy resin, the macrostructure surface of the rock-like material may be engraved by the laser engraving machine, such that the rock-like material may have the similar fracture structure data to the target rock. Therefore, the rock-like material is more similar in structure to the target rock, which improves the similarity in the microstructure of the rock-like material. Optionally, the target rock may be scanned by the CT imaging machine, and the fracture structure data of the target rock may be acquired according to the scanning result.
As shown in FIG. 5, a target rock 1 may be scanned by the CT imaging machine, and an aggregate composition and a volume percent of an aggregate adhesive of the target rock 1 are obtained according to the scanning result. An epoxy resin 6 and an epoxy resin 7 for preparing the epoxy resin aggregate are determined according to the aggregate composition, and are mixed, stirred, cured and crushed to obtain an epoxy resin aggregate 10. An epoxy resin 8 and an epoxy resin 9 for preparing the epoxy resin adhesive are determined according to a strength scale of a rock-like material, and are mixed and stirred to obtain an epoxy resin adhesive 11. The epoxy resin aggregate 10 and the liquid epoxy resin adhesive 11 are mixed, stirred and cured to obtain the rock-like material 13. According to fracture structure data of the target rock 1, a macrostructure surface 14 of the rock-like material 13 may be engraved by a three-dimensional laser engraving technology. As shown in FIG. 5, during mixing and stirring the epoxy resin aggregate 10 and the epoxy resin adhesive 11, a foaming agent or a defoaming agent may be added in a corresponding mass according to a porosity of the target rock 1 to form bubble pores 12 in microstructure. As shown in FIG. 5, the target rock 1 may have a macrostructure surface 2. The macrostructure surface 2 may include natural or artificial structure surfaces, including, but not limited to, a joint surface, a fissure surface, a bedding surface, and an artificial structural surface. As shown in FIG. 5, as shown in the scanning result from the CT imaging machine, the target rock 1 includes an adhesive matrix 3, aggregate particles 4 and micro-cracks 5. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a mass ratio of standard sands, the epoxy resin, the curing agent and the foaming agent may be obtained according to the aggregate composition of the target rock, the average diameter and distribution of the aggregate particles, and the porosity of the target rock. The rock-like material may be prepared according to the mass ratio of the standard sands, the epoxy resin, the curing agent and the foaming agent. The standard sand is used to form the aggregate of the rock-like material, and the epoxy resin is used to configure the adhesive of the rock-like material. As shown in Table 1, when mass ratios of the standard sand, the epoxy resin, the curing agent and the foaming agent are different, the corresponding rock-like materials have different apparent densities, uniaxial compressive strengths and elastic moduli. Table 1. Properties of rock-like materials with different mass ratios standard epoxy curing foaming apparent density uniaxial compressive elastic sand (g) resin (g) agent agent (g) (g/cm3) strength (MPa) modulus
(g) (GPa)
500 80 40 5 1.92 101 21.0
500 90 45 5 1.95 111 20.5
500 100 50 5 1.99 125 22.4
500 110 55 5 2.01 126 23.2
500 120 60 5 2.07 135 24.1
500 120 60 8 2.01 122 23.8
500 120 60 10 1.94 107 23.5
As shown in Table 1, when the rock-like materials have the same masses of the standard sand, the epoxy resin, and the curing agent, but different masses of the foaming agent, the rock-like materials have different apparent densities, uniaxial compressive strengths and elastic moduli. The properties of the rock-like material may be controlled by changing the mass of the foaming agent. For example, in the case that the standard sand has a mass of 500 g, the epoxy resin has a mass of 120 g, and the curing agent has a mass of 60 g, when the foamingagent hasamassof5g,theapparentdensityoftherock-likematerialis2.07g/cm 3 ;
whether foaming agent ha s a mass of g, the apparent density of the rock-like material is
2.01 g/cm3 ; when the foaming agent has a mass of 10 g, the apparent density of the rock-like material is 1.94 g/cm3. It can be seen that with the increase of the mass of the foaming agent, the apparent density of the rock-like material gradually decreases, and the surface porosity gradually increases. The present disclosure further provides a rock-like material, which is prepared by the method for preparing the rock-like material as described in the above embodiments. The rock-like material includes an epoxy resin aggregate and an epoxy resin adhesive. Compared with the rock-like material made of cement, gypsum and sand in the related art, the rock-like material in the embodiments of the present disclosure is prepared from the epoxy resin, and the prepared rock-like material has advantages of a low density and a low strength, and less impact energy is generated during the damage process of the similar model, which improves the safety of on-site personnel and construction plant.
