When the male head 1-4 and the female head 1-5 of the wet connector are inserted into each other, the male head conductive ring 416 and the female head conductive ring 527 are in sealing, insulating and conductive connection; the third liquid hole and the fourth liquid hole form annular conductive connection of the insulating oil, so that the insulating oil one-way valve 419 is opened and closed, and the male head overflow passage 4115 is in communication with the female head annular overflow passage 524 for liquid overflow.

[0046] Further, when the male head 1-4 of the wet connector is inserted into the female head 1-5 of the wet connector, the male head conductive ring 416 and the female head conductive ring 527 are in sealing, insulating and conductive connection; when the male head 1-4 of the wet connector is separated from the female head 1-5 of the wet connector, the central passage of the female head 1-5 of the wet connector forms a passage for lowering the logging instrument 1-7. When the male head 1-4 and the female head 1-5 of the wet connector are inserted into each other, the male head conductive ring 416 and the female head conductive ring 527 are in close contact and conductive connection, at this time, a pair of male head insulating sleeves and a pair of female head insulating sleeves are in close contact to insulate the two ends of the male head conductive ring 416 and the female head conductive ring 527, and a pair of male head sealing rings and a pair of external sealing rings are in close contact to seal the two ends of the pair of female head insulating sleeves and the pair of male head insulating sleeves.

[0047] Specifically, when the wet connector male head 1-4 is inserted into the wet connector female head 1-5, the wet connector male head 1-4 is responsible for the butt joint with the wet connector female head 1-5, and after the butt joint of the wet connector male head 1-4 and the wet connector female head 1-5, the electrical connection and the sealing insulation between the cable and the downhole cable type electric sealing integrated intelligent injection instrument 52 are realized together. After the butt joint and sealing of the wet connector male head 1-4 and the wet connector female head 1-5, a cavity conductive cavity is formed between the upper and lower sealing surfaces, and the exchange of internal and external liquids between the insulating oil in the conductive cavity and the injected water in the oil pipe 1-2 can be prevented.

[0048] When the wet connector male head 1-4 and the wet connector female head 1-5 are inserted and matched with each other, the wet connector male head 1-4 completes the sealing of the upper and lower sealing surfaces under the action of its own gravity and impact, and the locking mechanism realizes the locking function to prevent the instrument from moving upward, and the insulating oil one-way valve 419 relies on the side wall of the wet connector female head 1-5 to complete the unlocking, at this time the inner cavity of the wet connector female head 1-5 and the insulating oil containing cavity 4111 are communicated. Because the pressure on the lower surface of the differential pressure sliding sleeve 4112 is greater than that on the upper surface, the differential pressure sliding sleeve 4112 moves upward, injecting the insulating oil in the insulating oil containing cavity 4111 into the conductive cavity after the butt joint, and at the same time, the residual water in the conductive cavity is discharged, so that the conductive cavity is filled with insulating oil, and the insulating effect of the male head conductive ring 416 and the female head conductive ring 527 with the external environment is realized. The residual water in the conductive cavity is discharged, and the insulating oil is filled by the automatic oil injection mechanism.

[0049] The wet connector female head 1-5 has a central channel and a female head annular flow passage 524, the central channel is used for butt joint with the wet connector male head 1-4, and the female head annular flow passage 524 is used for liquid passing. When the wet connector male head 1-4 needs to be removed, the cable head column 411 is driven to move upward by pulling the cable, at this time the locking mechanism is invalid, and the wet connector male head 1-4 and the wet connector female head 1-5 are separated. After the wet connector male head 1-4 is lifted, the central channel of the wet connector female head 1-5 can be used as a logging instrument channel. When the wet connector male head 1-4 is butt jointed with the wet connector female head 1-5 again, only the insulating oil needs to be supplemented, and the damaged parts need to be replaced.

[0050] Further, the wet connector male head 1-4 further comprises a counterweight 4113 connected to the lower end of the insulating oil containing cavity 4111. The counterweight 4113 is threadedly and sealingly connected to the lower end of the insulating oil containing cavity 4111 at the lower end of the wet connector male head 1-4. The holding of the counterweight 4113 increases the gravity of the wet connector male head 1-4, so that the wet connector male head 1-4 can rely on its own gravity to complete the butt joint with the wet connector female head 1-5.

[0051] Further, the wet connector male head 1-4 is provided with a locking structure, which includes a locking block 413 provided on the outer periphery of the cable head column 411 of the wet connector male head and a locking pin 412. When the locking block 413 is limited by the locking pin 412, the wet connector male head 1-4 and the upper end of the wet connector female head 1-5 are locked and connected. When the locking pin 413 is disconnected, the wet connector male head 1-4 and the wet connector female head 1-5 are disconnected. The cable head column 411 is connected with the ground cable, and can provide suspension force and conductive and communication functions.

[0052] Specifically, the outer periphery of the cable head column 411 at the upper end of a pair of male head sealing rings is provided with a locking structure for locking and connecting the inner periphery of the upper end of the wet connector female head 1-5. When the locking block 413 of the locking structure is limited by the locking pin 412, the cable head column 411 and the upper end of the wet connector female head 1-5 are locked and connected. When the locking pin 412 is disconnected, the cable head column 411 is disconnected from the central passage of the wet connector female head 1-5.

[0053] The locking block 413 is radially distributed along the outer periphery of the cable head column 411. A locking groove is formed on the outer periphery of the cable head column 411. One end of the locking block 413 is hinged in the locking groove, and the other end of the locking block 413 extends out of the outer periphery of the cable head column 411. The end of the locking block 413 extending out of the cable head column 411 can rotate up and down in the axial direction to extend into or out of the locking groove. A torsion spring is arranged on the upper surface of the locking block 413 in the locking groove, and the torsion spring is embedded between the locking groove and the locking block 413 to provide elastic force for the downward rebound of the locking block.

[0054] The locking structure mainly provides locking force after the wet connector male head 1-4 and the wet connector female head 1-5 are connected, to prevent the wet connector male head 1-4 from being disconnected from the wet connector female head 1-5. When the wet connector male head 1-4 is lowered, the locking block 413 compresses the torsion spring, the locking block 413 rotates upward to retract, the wet connector male head 1-4 can pass through the necked section, and then the locking block 413 rebounds and locks under the action of the torsion spring. Since the locking pin 412 is radially distributed on the outer periphery of the cable head column 411 at the upper end of the locking block 413 and corresponds to the axial up and down of the locking block 413, the locking pin 412 cannot rotate downward to retract, and cannot pass through the necked section of the upper end cover of the wet connector female head 42 upward. Therefore, the locking block 413 cannot move upward to achieve clamping.

[0055] When the locking structure is unlocked, the cable head column 411 of the wet joint male head 1-4 is pulled upward, and when the pulling force exceeds the ultimate shear stress of the locking pin 412, the cable head column 411 shears the locking pin 412, a small distance displacement of the cable head column 411 relative to the locking pin 412 occurs, the cable head column 411 and the locking pin 412 are separated, the limitation of the locking pin 412 to the locking block 413 is released, at this time, the locking block rotates downward due to the torsional spring effect and is retracted, and the wet joint male head 1-4 can be smoothly pulled out through the necked section of the upper end cover of the wet joint female head 1-5. In order to facilitate shearing, the locking pin 412 is preferably a copper pin.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5 The application also provides a detachable wet joint docking cable intelligent acquisition method, which comprises the following steps:

[0062] Step 5) when it is necessary to measure the inside of the upper and lower sections of the pipe string at different depths in the casing 1-1, only the upper section of the pipe string needs to be pulled up to separate the male wet joint 1-4 and the female wet joint 1-5, replace the consumable and damaged parts on the male wet joint 1-4, and repair the oil pump 1-3, then connect the logging instrument 1-7 to the lower end of the male wet joint 1-4, and lower the upper section of the pipe string in the same way as described above, and again connect the male wet joint 1-4 and the female wet joint 1-5.
