AI Technical Summary
Power supply to underground electrical control tools is difficult. Existing cable power supply is costly and cumbersome to install. Battery power supply has limited capacity and is complicated to replace. Turbine generators have high starting flow, low energy conversion rate, and short lifespan, making them unsuitable for the harsh underground environment and production needs.
Design a suspended hydraulic power generation device, including a shell, a lower connector, a lower half-shaft, an impeller, an upper half-shaft, a generator permanent magnet rotor, and a generator stator. It uses the flow of liquid to drive the impeller to rotate and generate electricity. The suspension structure reduces frictional resistance, and the conversion assembly facilitates construction.
It achieves efficient conversion of downhole fluid flow energy into electrical energy, reduces frictional resistance, has a simple and easy-to-process structure, is convenient to construct, adapts to multiple working conditions for downhole power generation, and has high conversion efficiency.
