[0063] The assembly process of the while-drilling nuclear magnetic resonance logging probe structure proposed by the present invention is as follows:

[0064] Use high-temperature special prepared glue to magnetize the main magnet block and cooperate with tooling to bond it into a magnetic ring. After the magnetic ring is cured, it is assembled into a hollow magnetic rod with a columnar structure to complete the preparation of the main magnet 20. The main magnet can choose aluminum nickel cobalt as the permanent magnet material, and then install the main magnet 20 and the main magnet buffer block 19 on the magnet fixing shaft 17 for standby use, and lay high-temperature enameled wire inside the magnet fixing shaft 17. Finally, the above parts are matched with the soft magnetic skeleton 31. The laid high-temperature enameled wire goes through the threading holes inside the soft magnetic skeleton 31 and is fixed with screws 21. Here, the main magnet buffer block 19 can choose non-magnetic material or magnetic conductive material according to the magnetic field requirements. Since we are positioning the gradient field centralized measurement method in this embodiment, the magnetic field strength we mainly use is a gradient field of 100-150 Gauss, and cost saving is also taken into consideration. Therefore, the main magnet buffer block 19 selects micromagnetic material, and the bonding material of the main magnet 20 selects acrylate, high-temperature resin and curing agent.

[0065] The soft magnetic blocks are bonded into a ring shape with a special high-temperature glue, and the ring-shaped soft magnetic is bonded into a column to complete the preparation of the soft magnetic 26. A soft magnetic structure is added between the two main magnets 20 so that the magnetic fields on both sides are pulled to the middle to meet the use range and uniformity of the magnetic field. The soft magnetic acts as a magnetic conductor. In this embodiment, the material selected is neodymium iron boron, and the bonding material of the soft magnetic 26 is selected from acrylate, high-temperature resin and curing agent.

[0066] The antenna designed according to this embodiment has a use range of 60 cm. The coil responsible for signal reception and radio frequency transmission is mainly designed in the form of copper skin and buried inside the fiberglass. Only the connection points are exposed to complete the assembly preparation of the antenna part 27.

[0067] Install the key six 34, key four 32 and pin seal 36 on the core shaft 15, then install the relay fixing frame 33 and the relay, arrange the required high-temperature enameled wire, and finally install this structure into the soft magnetic skeleton 31, and pass the arranged wires through the threading holes of the soft magnetic skeleton 31. The number of relays is related to the number of transmission frequencies. In this embodiment, five transmission frequencies are used, and four relays are used to control the number of connected capacitors. The relays are controlled by the program of the control circuit. During logging, a DC power supply is used as the power source. The DC power supply uses 580 volts, generates a square wave through a power amplifier, and then generates a sine wave through a filter.

[0068] The key five 41, key four 32 and seal seven 37 are installed into the core shaft two 40, and the core shaft two 40 is connected with the core shaft one 15 and fixed with the core shaft bolt 38.
