[0036] The main body 1 of the water injection device in the thermal insulation layer 4 is also provided with a water injection device controller and a temperature controller assembly 3 and a first heater 6, the first temperature detector 21, the second temperature detector 22, and the water injection device. The controller and the temperature controller assembly 3 and the first heater 6 are connected to each other; wherein the water injector controller and the temperature controller assembly 3 at least include a metering controller and a temperature controller integrated with the water injector, the first The temperature detector 21 and the second temperature detector 22 are screwed to the main body 1 of the water injection meter.
[0037] At the same time, the thermal insulation layer 4 is used to maintain the temperature of the environment where the water injection instrument main body 1 is located inside the thermal insulation layer 4, and reduce the attenuation range of the internal temperature of the thermal insulation layer 4;
[0038] The first temperature detector 21 is used to detect the temperature of the external environment of the insulation layer 4, and send the detected temperature data of the external environment to the water injector controller and the temperature controller assembly 3;
[0039] The first temperature detector 21 is used to detect the internal environmental temperature of the thermal insulation layer 4, and send the detected temperature data of the internal environment to the water injector controller and the temperature controller assembly 3;
[0040] The water injector controller and the temperature controller assembly 3 are used to receive the detection data of the internal and external environment of the thermal insulation layer 4, and compare the preset temperature data with the detection data of the internal and external environment, and report to the The first heater 6 sends an on or off instruction;
[0041] The first heater 6 is used to turn on or turn off according to the instruction.
[0042] The first temperature detector 21 and the second temperature detector 22 detect the ambient temperature inside and outside the insulation layer 4, and send the temperature data to the water injector controller and the temperature controller assembly 3, through the water injector controller and the temperature controller The component 3 controls the operation of the first heater 6 to increase the ambient temperature inside the thermal insulation layer 4, which solves the defect that the water injector cannot work normally due to the low temperature in the oilfield water injection process where the ambient temperature is low. The problem of being unable to meet the requirements for use in a lower temperature environment, the intelligent water injection instrument for oil fields provided in the embodiments of this application can be applied at least in an environment where the minimum temperature reaches or close to -40°C to ensure the effective progress of the oil field water injection process, and Existing products or technologies can only be realized within -20°C. When the temperature is low, normal measurement cannot be performed, and the liquid crystal cannot be displayed, controlled, and communicated normally, which cannot meet the requirements for use in a lower temperature environment.
[0043] When the intelligent water injection instrument for oil field provided in the embodiments of this application is used in the field, the temperature in the insulation layer 4 will be affected due to the change of environment temperature, and the temperature in the insulation layer 4 is too high or too low, and the water injection device cannot work normally , So it is necessary to set the upper and lower temperature limits to maintain the temperature in the insulation layer 4. Therefore, the operator sets the upper and lower temperature limits for the temperature controller in the water injector controller and temperature controller assembly 3 according to the actual temperature on site in advance, and sets the upper and lower temperature limits for the water injector controller and temperature controller assembly 3 according to the user. , Automatically adjust the temperature.
[0044] The temperature value of the external environment is collected by the first temperature detector 21, and the collected temperature value is fed back to the temperature controller in the water injector controller and the temperature controller assembly 3. When the outside temperature is lower than the lower temperature limit set in the temperature controller , The temperature controller sends an instruction to the first heater 6, and the first heater 6 starts to heat up rapidly in the full power mode. At this time, the first heater 6 quickly heats up and releases heat energy into the insulation layer 4. When the first heater 6 The temperature continues to increase until the temperature value collected by the second temperature detector 22 reaches the set temperature upper limit, the temperature controller controls the first heater 6 to reduce the heating power to 20% of the rated power, and the insulation layer 4 Reduce the temperature attenuation range, so that the smart water injector can work in the required temperature environment. When the temperature of the external environment continues to decrease and the temperature in the insulation layer 4 drops to the set temperature lower limit, the temperature controller controls the first heating again The device 6 works according to the above steps, so that the ambient temperature of the component mechanical part of the intelligent water injector controller is kept above 0°C, to ensure the normal metering and control of the meter, and to ensure that the water injector works normally within the required temperature.
[0045] Optionally, the water injector controller includes a metering sensor, a control valve, a control motor, a connecting pipeline, and a mounting flange arranged on the water injector main body 1, and also includes devices such as liquid crystal and electronic parts. , Control valves, control motors, connecting pipelines and mounting flanges or liquid crystal and electronic parts and other devices are at normal operating temperature, the smart water injector can work in a normal environment, which solves the oilfield water injection process with low on-site environmental temperature Among them, the defect that the water injector cannot work normally due to the low temperature, and the problem that it cannot meet the requirements for use in a lower temperature environment.

[0047] The third temperature detector is used to detect the internal ambient temperature of the thermal insulation layer 4 and send the detected data to the single chip. The single chip microcomputer is the main processor of the smart water injector and is used to receive all the collected data. Data, and after calculation and judgment, a logic command is issued. The stand-alone chip is integrated on the control circuit board in the water injector controller and temperature controller assembly 3. When the stand-alone chip receives the external temperature conversion value is too low, it will send the infrared detection device instructions to perform temperature control;
[0048] The stand-alone chip is used to receive the internal environmental temperature of the thermal insulation layer 4, compare preset temperature data with the internal environmental temperature data, and send an on or off instruction to the infrared heating device according to the comparison result ;

[0050] When the heating component in the insulation layer 4 fails or fails, the single-chip microcomputer controls the temperature in the insulation layer 4. When the temperature is too low, the single-chip microcomputer controls the infrared heating device in the component to work, so that the temperature in the component is higher than the preset temperature and the electronic part is normal When the heater in the thermal insulation layer 4 works normally, the single-chip microcomputer stops the infrared heating device inside the component according to the normal temperature indication and starts the energy-saving mode.
