Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of oilfield water well testing, and in particular to a wireless cable tension measuring system in integrated testing and adjustment construction. Background Art

[0002] In the integrated measurement and adjustment construction, an important role of armored cable is to transport the downhole instruments to the target depth. The tension data is related to factors such as the dead weight of the cable lowered into the well, the weight of the downhole instruments, the viscosity of the liquid in the well, and the lifting and lowering speed. Reliable cable tension data can directly reflect the operation of the downhole instruments and cables in the well. Its accuracy is of great significance to the construction qualification rate and safe construction.

[0003] The currently known measurement method is the vertical Martindike metering wheel force measurement method. The depth metering wheel and guide pulley in the Martindike are subjected to excessive pressure, which will greatly accelerate the wear speed of the depth metering wheel, guide pulley and cable, seriously affecting the service life of the depth metering wheel, guide pulley and cable. Wear will also cause the angle θ of the cable on the depth metering wheel to become larger, resulting in inaccurate cable tension measurement. Wear of the depth metering wheel will cause its circumference to decrease and ultimately lead to inaccurate depth measurement. Due to the volume limitation of the Martindike, the diameters of the two guide pulleys are usually less than 90mm, which is much smaller than the minimum bending diameter of the cable of 190mm. The mechanical bending damage of the cable is large, which seriously affects the service life of the cable. In view of the shortcomings of the existing technical solutions, some construction units directly use vertical Martindike without tension measurement function, so that the service life of the Martindike metering wheel and armored cable is guaranteed, but the lack of tension data poses a safety hazard to safe construction.

[0026] The housing 602 is made of metal.

[0027] The end cap 605 is made of nylon.

[0028] The antenna 606 is a wireless transceiver antenna.

[0029] The elastomer component 601 is 2Cr13.

[0030] The battery 607 is a disposable lithium battery.

[0031] The cable 7 is an armored cable.

[0032] The Martindike 1 is a tension-free standard vertical Martindike.

[0033] A standard vertical Martindike 1 with a tension-free measurement function is used. The cable 7 passes straight through between the depth metering wheel 101 and the clamping wheel 102. The force exerted by the cable 7 on the depth metering wheel 101 is 0 kgf. The pressure on the contact surface between the depth metering wheel 101 and the cable 7 is equal to the pressure of the clamping wheel 102, which is usually ≤10 kgf. This minimizes the pressure load on the contact surface between the depth metering wheel 101 and the cable 7, reduces the resulting wear, and extends the service life of the depth metering wheel 101 and the cable 7.

[0034] The right end of the pulley seat 5 is sleeved on the upper end of the anti-blowout pipe 8, the upper part of the left end is inserted into the support rod 4, and the lower end is connected to the wireless tension sensor 6 through a threaded buckle.

[0035] After the support rod 4 is inserted into the pulley seat 5, the support rod 4 contacts the top of the elastic component 601 in the wireless tension sensor 6, and transmits the pressure of the upper pulley 3 to the elastic component 601. The angle θ formed by the cable 7 on the upper pulley 3 is 0°. Assuming the tension of the cable 7 is f, the downward pressure of the support rod 4 is F=2f[cos(θ / 2)]=2f.

[0036] The wireless tension sensor 6 adopts an integrated and low-power design, has no exposed electrical components, and has a firm and reliable structure that is not easy to damage. The wireless tension sensor 6 consists of a housing 602, a carrier 603, an elastic component 601, a processing circuit 604, an end cover 605, an antenna 606, and a disposable lithium battery 607.

The elastic body is made of 2Cr13 material, and the strain gauge is a foil-type temperature-compensated high-precision strain gauge bridge mounted on the side elevation to generate an electrical signal proportional to the deformation of the elastic body. The upper part of the housing 602 is connected to the lower end of the pulley seat 5 by a threaded connection to bear the pressure of the carrier 603, and the lower end is connected to the end cover 605 by a threaded connection to form a closed space for installing the processing circuit 604. The carrier 603 is screwed into the housing 602, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the carrier 603 bears the pressure of the elastic component 601, and the lower end of the carrier 603 provides a fixing function for the circuit part. The processing circuit 604 of the wireless tension sensor 6 is installed on the circuit bracket at the bottom of the carrier 603. It is composed of integrated circuits such as a mixed signal microcontroller U4, power circuits U5 and U6, reference circuits U1 and U2, and a wireless transceiver circuit U3, supplemented by necessary peripheral components, to complete functions such as control, data acquisition, encoding and decoding, and wireless transceiver. The interface part JP1 is connected to the output plug of the strain bridge of the elastic component 601, JP2 is connected to the built-in antenna 606, and JP4 is connected to the plug of the disposable lithium battery 607. The end cover 605 is connected to the lower end of the metal shell 602 by a thread, and its function is to form a closed space with the metal shell 602 to protect the internal components, while not affecting the transceiver of radio signals. The wireless transceiver antenna 606 is connected to JP2 on the processing circuit 604 by a thread. The disposable lithium battery 607 is connected to the JP4 socket on the processing circuit 604.

[0037] The wireless tension host 10 is composed of a housing, a PVC film-coated button, an OLED display, an antenna 606 and a circuit assembly. The host is installed in the operating room of the test vehicle to complete the functions of wireless data transmission and reception, abnormal alarm, data display, sensor matching, and calibration.

When used alone, JP5 is connected to an external 12V power supply.

[0038] The following is a brief description of the software flow of the present invention in conjunction with the software flow chart of the wireless tension sensor 6:

[0039] Sleep mode: When the wireless tension host 10 is turned off, the wireless tension sensor 6 will not be able to receive valid return data after sending data. After 40 seconds, the receiving counter overflows and the wireless tension sensor 6 enters sleep mode. Except for the timer, all other circuits and microcontrollers inside the sensor stop running. At this time, the wireless tension sensor 6 circuit is in a micro-power consumption state. The timer overflows and generates an interrupt after running for 40 seconds. The microcontroller is awakened and executes a data receiving program. If the data is invalid, the microcontroller stops running and waits for the timer to be awakened by the next timer overflow.

[0040] Operation mode: After the wireless tension host 10 is turned on, it continuously sends the identity code and operation instructions of the target sensor for 50 seconds. The corresponding wireless tension sensor 6 enters the operation mode after receiving it. After the line tension sensor enters the operation mode, it collects tension and battery 607 voltage data every 50 milliseconds, and determines whether to send data based on the data change amplitude and the interval time between two transmissions. This not only ensures the system response speed but also effectively reduces the power consumption of the operation mode. After the data is successfully sent, the receiving program is immediately executed to receive the return instruction data of the host to determine the next operation mode.

[0041] Calibration mode: When the wireless tension sensor 6 is in the operation mode, the wireless tension host 10 sends an identity code and a calibration command. After receiving the command data, the corresponding sensor enters the calibration program. After the calibration is completed, the calibration data is stored in the flash memory for program call, and then it enters the operation mode.

[0042] Sensor matching: When the wireless tension sensor 6 is in sleep mode, the wireless tension host 10 sends a sensor matching command. After receiving it, the target sensor sends an identity code. After receiving it, the wireless tension host 10 displays the corresponding sensor number and stores the information in the flash memory to complete the matching of the new sensor.
