[0034] Example 1
[0035] An intelligent downhole stratified well test injector comprises a working cylinder 31, a flow tube 2 sleeved in the working cylinder 31, and an upper joint 1 and a lower joint 3 respectively connected to the two ends of the working cylinder 31, wherein the working cylinder 31, the flow tube 2, the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 3 form an annular sealed cavity; a flow meter 9, an automatic water nozzle 6, a well test short section 5, a control storage module 8 and a battery unit 7 are arranged in the annular sealed cavity, a water inlet 29 of the automatic water nozzle 6 is connected to the flow tube 2, one end of the water outlet 30 of the automatic water nozzle 6 extends into the upper joint 1 and is connected to the outside of the upper joint 1 through the upper joint 1, a flow meter 9 is arranged between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30; the upper joint 1 is connected to the well test short section 5; the lower joint 3 is connected to the battery unit 7 and a control storage module 8 for obtaining the data of the well test short section 5 and controlling the automatic water nozzle 6, and the control storage module 8 is electrically connected to the battery unit 7, the flow meter 9, the well test short section 5 and the automatic water nozzle 6 respectively.
[0036] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the present invention is an intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector, the operating environment of which is the oil field layer environment downhole in the oil field, which is a relatively harsh environment. Its structure includes a working cylinder 31, a flow tube 2 sleeved in the working cylinder 31, and an upper joint 1 and a lower joint 3 respectively connected to the two ends of the working cylinder 31. The working cylinder 31, the flow tube 2, the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 3 form an annular sealing cavity, wherein the annular sealing cavity is a sealed cavity, which can isolate the flow tube 2 and the oil field downhole, the working cylinder 31 and the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 3 from external water, thereby realizing waterproof and oil-proof sealing of each component in the annular sealing cavity.
[0037] In the annular sealed cavity, a flow meter 9, an automatic water nozzle 6, a well test short section 5, a control storage module 8 and a battery unit 7 are fixed on the upper joint 1 or the lower joint 3. The automatic water nozzle is powered by the battery unit 7 through the control storage module 8. The automatic water nozzle 6 controls its water nozzle opening through the control storage module 8 to adjust the water flow between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30. The water flow between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30 is tested by the flow meter 9, and the flow meter 9 sends the test result to the control storage module 8 for storage and providing a basis for the opening of the automatic water nozzle 6; a high-precision pressure gauge 33 and a control module 34 are integrated in the well test short section 5. The control module 34 is responsible for control, storage and analysis. The high-precision pressure gauge 33 tests the stratified pressure and the pressure in the flow pipe 2, which is used for the later well test interpretation analysis and obtaining the pressure wave code information in the flow pipe 2, and the corresponding parameters and wave code instructions are obtained, such as Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown. The well test sub 5 is connected to the control storage module 8. After the well test sub 5 monitors the oil well layer pressure data and stores it, the control storage module 8 obtains the pressure data for analysis, and calculates the required water output of the automatic water nozzle 6 in combination with the flow meter 9, and controls the opening of the water nozzle; when the opening of the water nozzle increases or decreases, the data obtained by the flow meter 9 and the well test sub 5 change dynamically, and the control storage module 8 continuously controls the opening change of the automatic water nozzle 6, and performs dynamic adjustment in combination with the dynamic data obtained by the flow meter 9 and the well test sub 5, until the water output of the automatic water nozzle 6 reaches the standard water injection volume. The water inlet 29 of the automatic water nozzle 6 is connected to the flow pipe 2, and the water outlet 30 of the automatic water nozzle 6 is connected to the outside of an intelligent downhole stratified well test injector, and is connected to the oil layer of the oil well for water injection.
[0038] The automatic water nozzle 6 also has the function of transmitting pressure wave codes. The flow tube 2 provides a stable water supply pressure for the automatic water nozzle 6. The automatic water nozzle 6 itself has the function of adjusting the water flow rate of the water outlet. The automatic water nozzle 6 can quickly control the opening and closing of the water flow rate of the water outlet. The rapid opening and closing of the outlet causes the stable water pressure in the flow tube 2 to produce instantaneous changes. The constantly changing instantaneous pressure sends the information to be sent by the automatic water nozzle 6 along the flow tube 2 to the ground receiving end in the form of pressure wave codes.
[0039] In this embodiment, an intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector of the present invention is responsible for the injection of downhole oil fields. The control console located on the well for controlling the present invention is arranged on the ground. It provides a stable water supply pressure to the flow pipe 2 through a pipeline through a water injection pressure stabilizing system, so that the intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector of the present invention can stably inject water. The command sending and receiving system of the ground control console is composed of an electric control valve, a high-precision pressure detector and a computer control software. When the control console provides a stable water supply pressure to the flow pipe 2, the computer control software sends a switch command to control the electric control valve to perform a rapid switch action, and an instantaneous pressure change occurs in the flow pipe 2, thereby establishing a wave code.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] On the basis of Example 1, the automatic water nozzle 6 also includes a flow control valve, a connecting rod 26 and a flow control cavity between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30, the flow control valve is composed of a valve sleeve 23 and a valve core 24, the valve sleeve 23 of the flow control valve in the flow control cavity is fixed to the inner wall of the flow control cavity, the valve core 24 of the flow control valve is connected to one end of the connecting rod 26, the other end of the connecting rod 26 has a ball screw assembly 25 and a drive motor 22, the connecting rod 26 is coaxially connected to the drive motor 22 through the ball screw assembly 25, when the drive motor 22 extends the connecting rod 26 through the ball screw assembly 25, the flow control valve in the flow control cavity is opened, and the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30 are connected; when the drive motor 22 retracts the connecting rod 26 through the ball screw assembly 25, the flow control valve in the flow control cavity is closed, and the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30 are closed.
[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the automatic water nozzle 6 has a flow control cavity inside, and the flow control cavity has a water inlet 29 and a water outlet 30. Between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30 in the flow control cavity, a flow control valve, a connecting rod 26, a ball screw assembly 25 and a drive motor 22 form a mechanism for controlling the water flow between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30.
[0043] The water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30 are mainly controlled by a flow-limiting flow control valve. The valve sleeve 23 of the flow control valve is fixed on the inner wall of the flow control cavity. The water outlet hole of the valve sleeve 23 is connected with the water outlet 30. The valve core 24 cooperates with the valve sleeve 23. The valve core 24 is connected with the water inlet 29 and can move relative to the valve sleeve 23 to control the water flow between the valve sleeve 23 and the valve core 24, thereby controlling the water flow between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30.
[0044] The relative movement of the valve core 24 is driven by the connecting rod 26 fixed thereto. The power of the connecting rod 26 comes from the precision power system composed of the ball screw assembly 25 and the drive motor 22. The drive motor 22 provides rotational power, and the ball screw assembly 25 converts the rotational power into sliding power along the axial direction of the motor shaft; the flow control valve can be an ordinary miniaturized valve, a ceramic valve, a steel valve, a plastic valve, etc.
[0045] The data that the well test sub 5 can test and store include: Fig.10 Double logarithmic curve: dp and dp'[MPa]-dt[hr]35, such as Fig. 9 Pressure [MPa]: Time [hr] 32.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] On the basis of Example 2, the ball screw assembly 25 includes a ball screw pair and a guide groove 36 for radial fixation and axial sliding of the nut of the ball screw pair. When the screw of the ball screw pair rotates, the nut of the ball screw pair slides axially along the guide groove 36; one end of the nut extends to form an inner cavity for the screw to fully penetrate the interior of the nut, one end of the nut is connected to the connecting rod 26, and the other end of the nut is connected to the screw; the screw is coaxially connected to the drive motor 22, the guide groove 36 is parallel to the motor shaft of the drive motor 22, and the guide groove 36 and the drive motor 22 are relatively fixed.
[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the ball screw assembly 25 is a set that converts the rotational power of the motor into a refined linear motion that advances and retracts along the axial direction of the motor shaft. The ball screw assembly 25 includes a ball screw pair and an axially sliding guide groove 36. In this embodiment, the lead screw of the ball screw pair and the motor shaft of the drive motor 22 are coaxially connected, and the nut of the ball screw pair is driven to advance and retreat by the rotation of the lead screw.
[0049] In the prior art, a nut is matched with a guide rail, the nut and the lead screw are coaxial with the motor shaft, the nut slides forward and backward along the guide rail, and the nut generates forward and backward power along the guide rail. In this embodiment, considering the miniaturization of the automatic water nozzle 6, while the nut is matched with the lead screw, one end of the nut extends to form a cavity, and the lead screw can extend into the cavity. This design can save the length of the lead screw and reduce the radius length of the automatic water nozzle 6.
[0050] Example 4
[0051] On the basis of Example 3, the connecting rod 26, the flow control cavity and the ball screw assembly 25 have an outer shell, and the connecting rod 26, the flow control cavity and the ball screw assembly 25 are located inside the shell, the water inlet 29 is connected to the flow pipe 2 through the shell, and the water outlet 30 is connected to the water injection oil layer through the shell, and the first balanced pressure chamber 21 for transmitting the internal pressure to one end of the flow control valve and the second balanced pressure chamber 20 for transmitting the internal pressure to the other end of the flow control valve are provided at both ends of the flow control valve located in the shell, and the first balanced pressure chamber 21 and the second balanced pressure chamber 20 are connected to the flow pipe 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the automatic water nozzle 6 is arranged in the annular sealed cavity, so the shell is to seal the water entering the automatic water nozzle 6, prevent water from entering the annular sealed cavity, and ensure the safety of each component in each annular sealed cavity. After the shell seals the automatic water nozzle 6, there is a pressure difference between the water inlet 29 and the water outlet 30, and, in the microstructure of the present invention, the fluid viscosity of water will also produce a large resistance; so the flow control valve in the flow control cavity is opened or closed due to the pressure difference, and there will be a large resistance when opening or closing, and it will be difficult for the motor to adjust the closed flow control valve. In this embodiment, a first balanced pressure chamber 21 and a second balanced pressure chamber 20 are provided. The pressure difference and the viscosity of the water flow are balanced by arranging the first balanced pressure chamber 21 and the second balanced pressure chamber 20 at both ends of the flow control valve. Since the first balanced pressure chamber 21 and the second balanced pressure chamber 20 are both connected to the flow control channel 2, the pressures at both ends of the flow control valve are offset, and the resistance of the water flow due to viscosity is also greatly reduced, so that the resistance of the flow control valve in the opening or closing stage is greatly increased, and the sensitivity of the automatic water nozzle 6 is increased.
[0053] Example 5
[0054] Based on Example 4, the drive motor 22 is a servo motor, which includes a position marker and a control circuit. The control circuit and the position marker constitute a position marker servo control system. The control storage module 8 is electrically connected to the servo motor through the position marker servo control system.
[0055] The position marker is composed of a Hall sensor 27 and a magnetic steel 28. The position marker is fixed on the upper end of the servo motor and is sleeved inside the housing.

[0061] In this embodiment, Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the existing intelligent water injector of the multi-stage stratified water injection string adopts an intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector of the present invention. In addition to sending pressure wave codes through the automatic water nozzle 6, the intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector also integrates a wireless communication module 4, which is a short-range electromagnetic communication module.
[0062] In the multi-level stratified water injection string, an intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector in the present invention can also be controlled by a wireless controller, and cooperate with the wireless communication module 4 to perform short-distance electromagnetic communication. Control instructions and internal data of an intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector can be transmitted through short-distance electromagnetic communication. The fixed injection pressure data of the internal layers of the intelligent downhole stratified well testing injector in the present invention can also be modified to realize the collection of stratified dynamic data testing and stratified flow measurement and adjustment.
[0063] The structure of the wireless controller is composed of a shell 13, an antenna 16, a cable connector 10, and a positioning claw 11. The internal circuit part is composed of a main control module 14, a communication module 15, and a magnetic positioning short section 12.
