[0069] In downhole information transmission technology such as downhole information transmission technology of oil drilling, the drilling fluid continuous wave transmission mode belongs to frequency band transmission, has relatively high rate, strong anti-interference ability, has broad application prospect, and is most widely applied in the while-drilling measurement technology. The drilling fluid continuous wave information transmission system is mainly divided into oscillating shear valve type and rotating valve type according to a continuous wave signal generation mode, wherein the oscillating shear valve type continuous wave information transmission system (hereinafter referred to as a continuous wave information transmission system) has the characteristics of high signal transmission rate and strong robustness, and has better application prospect. The system mainly includes a downhole sensor, a downhole waveform generation unit, a drilling fluid channel, a ground signal receiving and processing unit, wherein the core component of the downhole waveform generation unit is an oscillating shear valve type continuous wave signal generator (hereinafter referred to as a continuous wave generator), mainly including a shear valve, a driving motor, a signal modulation and control module, wherein the shear valve includes a pair of stator and rotor. When the continuous wave information transmission system works, the downhole information is measured, encoded by the downhole sensor, converted into preset number system data such as binary data and transmitted to the signal modulation and control module in the downhole waveform generation unit. The module generates modulated information according to the signal modulation mode and controls the driving motor to drive the rotor to reciprocate relative to the stator, so as to periodically block the flow path of the drilling fluid, form a certain regular drilling fluid pressure fluctuation on the upstream of the stator, the pressure fluctuation is called continuous wave, the process of converting the preset number system data such as binary data into continuous wave is called continuous wave signal modulation, then the continuous wave is transmitted to the ground through the drilling fluid channel, and the ground signal receiving and processing unit receives the continuous wave and restores it to the downhole information. As can be seen, one of the keys to realize the continuous wave information transmission is the modulation of the continuous wave signal. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a drilling fluid continuous wave smooth phase modulation method, wherein the smooth indicates that the driving motor rotation angle and rotation speed curve are continuously derivable in the continuous wave signal phase change process, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it comprises:

[0070] S101, determining a target continuous wave signal according to downhole information collected by a downhole sensor;

[0071] In the above step S101, the downhole information collected by the downhole sensor such as inclination angle, azimuth angle, drilling pressure and torque data is obtained, the downhole information is converted into preset number system such as binary data, so as to convert the downhole information into a string of coded symbols. The binary data is superimposed on the carrier signal to obtain the continuous wave signal phase, and the target continuous wave signal is determined.

[0072] S102, determining the required rotation angle of the driving motor in the current carrier cycle corresponding to the downhole information according to a preset modulation rule;

[0073] The step S102 is to establish the relationship between the data in the preset number system and the phase of the drilling fluid continuous wave signal according to the preset modulation rule. The phase of the drilling fluid continuous wave signal is changed by changing the required rotation angle of the driving motor according to the target continuous wave signal. The data in the preset number system, such as binary data, is divided into symbols, and a symbol-to-symbol phase mapping table is established, as shown in Figure 2 Specifically, a one-to-one correspondence between the symbol and the continuous wave signal phase offset and the rotation angle of the rotor relative to the initial position, i.e., the required rotation angle of the driving motor, is established. Thus, the required rotation angle of the driving motor can be determined according to the received coded symbol. The driving motor is rotated step by step to reach the required rotation angle of the driving motor, thereby continuously changing the phase of the continuous wave signal, and solving the problem of direct phase jump when the symbol phase changes during phase modulation.

[0074] S103, determining the driving motor speed change trend in the current carrier cycle corresponding to the downhole information according to a preset speed planning method;

[0075] In the step S103, the driving motor speed change trend is determined based on the preset number system data according to the downhole information corresponding to the preset number system data by using the preset speed planning method. Under the condition that the phase of the continuous wave signal changes according to the predetermined rule, the speed of the driving motor is smoothed, the continuity of the driving motor movement is ensured, and the stability of the driving motor speed in the oscillating shear valve type continuous wave generator is improved.

[0076] S104, determining the driving motor speed at each moment according to the target continuous wave signal, the required rotation angle of the driving motor, and the driving motor speed change trend by using the following pressure wave modulation equation:

[0077]

[0078] Wherein, s(t) is the value of the target continuous wave signal at different moments, A is the amplitude of the continuous wave signal, n is the number of shear valve blades, is the initial rotation angle of the driving motor, and the maximum opening of the oscillating shear valve is taken as the zero position point, is the speed of the driving motor at each moment, is the initial phase of the continuous wave signal;

[0079] In the step S104, the target continuous wave signal is substituted into the pressure wave modulation equation, and the driving motor speed at each moment in the carrier cycle is obtained according to the required rotation angle of the driving motor and the driving motor speed change trend, so that the driving motor rotates by the corresponding angle under the condition of smooth speed change. The driving motor speed in the whole process is planned by using the pressure wave modulation equation, and the relationship between the waveform phase and the rotor speed and position in the oscillating shear valve is established, so as to realize the control of the driving motor in the drilling fluid continuous wave generator.

[0080] S105, controlling the driving motor to drive the rotor of the shear valve to rotate relative to the stator according to the driving motor speed at each moment, to generate the continuous wave signal of the drilling fluid.

[0081] In the step S105, since the oscillating shear valve is directly driven by the driving motor, the driving motor speed is the shear valve speed, and the driving motor drives the rotor of the shear valve to rotate relative to the stator according to the driving motor speed at each moment, so that the drilling fluid pressure wave is generated above the stator according to the preset modulation rule, the preset numeral system data is modulated into the drilling fluid pressure wave, and the generated drilling fluid pressure wave is a continuous pressure wave, and the generated drilling fluid continuous wave signal is the target continuous wave signal.

[0082] The drilling fluid continuous wave smooth phase modulation method provided by the embodiment of the present application combines the modulation rule and the speed planning method to ensure the continuity of the driving motor movement and the smoothness of the driving motor speed in the oscillating shear valve type continuous wave generator under the condition that the continuous wave signal phase changes according to the predetermined conventional rule, and to improve the smoothness of the driving motor speed in the oscillating shear valve type continuous wave generator; according to the target continuous wave signal, the required rotation angle of the driving motor and the driving motor speed change trend, the driving motor speed at each moment is determined through the pressure wave modulation equation, the driving motor smooth rotation between the code symbols is realized by using the speed planning, the driving motor speed in the whole process is planned through the pressure wave modulation equation, and the relationship between the wave phase and the rotor speed and position in the shear valve is established, so as to realize the driving motor control in the drilling fluid continuous wave generator.

[0083] The drilling fluid continuous wave smooth phase modulation method provided by the embodiment of the present application comprehensively considers the physical process of the drilling fluid continuous wave generation, realizes the change of the continuous wave signal phase under the condition of the smooth change of the driving motor speed by using the phase modulation method between the code symbols, and solves the problem of the direct jump of the speed when the symbol phase changes during the phase modulation.

[0084] In one or some embodiments, the required rotation angle of the driving motor in the current carrier cycle corresponding to the downhole information is determined according to the preset modulation rule in the step S102, and specifically includes:

[0085] S1021, encoding the downhole information to obtain corresponding code data;

[0086] In the step S1021, the downhole information is encoded and converted into data of a preset numeral system to obtain corresponding code data, for example, binary data, and the downhole information can be converted into data of different numeral systems according to actual needs.

[0087] S1022. Determine the required rotation angle of the motor within the current carrier period corresponding to the encoded data according to the preset modulation rule.

[0088] In step 1022 above, the required rotation angle of the drive motor can be determined according to the encoded data corresponding to the downhole information and the preset modulation rules.

[0089] In one embodiment, step S1022 above, which involves determining the required rotation angle of the drive motor within the current carrier period corresponding to the encoded data based on the preset modulation rule, specifically includes:

[0090] S10221a. Determine the phase difference of the continuous wave signal within the current carrier period corresponding to the encoded data according to the preset modulation rule;

[0091] S10222a. According to the preset modulation rule, determine the required rotation angle of the drive motor corresponding to the phase difference of the continuous wave signal in the current carrier period.

[0092] In one embodiment, the preset modulation rule includes a first preset modulation rule and a second preset modulation rule, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first preset modulation rule is to establish a first mapping relationship between the encoded data and the phase offset of the continuous wave signal, and the second preset modulation rule is to establish a second mapping relationship between the phase offset of the continuous wave signal and the required rotation angle of the drive motor.

[0093] The step S1022 above, which involves determining the required rotation angle of the motor within the current carrier period corresponding to the encoded data according to the preset modulation rule, specifically includes:

[0094] S10221b. Determine the phase offset of the continuous wave signal corresponding to the encoded data according to the first mapping relationship;

[0095] In step S10221b above, according to... Figure 2 The mapping table shown indicates that if the encoded data is 0, the corresponding phase offset of the continuous wave signal is 0, and if the encoded data is 1, the corresponding phase offset of the continuous wave signal is π.

[0096] S10222b: Determine the required rotation angle of the drive motor corresponding to the phase offset of the continuous wave signal according to the second mapping relationship.

[0097] In step S10222b above, according to... Figure 2 The mapping table shown indicates that if the encoded data is 0, the required rotation angle of the drive motor is 0° or 60°, and if the encoded data is 1, the required rotation angle of the drive motor is 30°.

[0098] The existing continuous wave signal modulation methods mainly include amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK) and phase shift keying (PSK). The PSK can achieve higher bandwidth utilization, and the modulation is simple, which is conducive to the improvement of signal transmission rate, and thus is widely used. Taking the BPSK modulation as an example, the existing signal modulation method based on binary phase shift keying (BPSK) makes the phase of the continuous wave signal change at the detection point. Since the phase of the continuous wave signal is determined by the rotation angle of the rotor, if the phase of the modulated waveform is discontinuous, the rotor speed needs to change at the discontinuous point. However, due to the existence of the rotor inertia, the rotor speed is continuous. The rotor of the oscillating shear valve reciprocates relative to the stator, and needs to rotate in the opposite direction after rotating a certain angle. Therefore, the rotor speed curve has two zero points. The rotary valve is continuously rotated, and the rotary valve type signal modulation method based on continuous rotation cannot be applied to reciprocating oscillation. Therefore, the existing rotary valve type continuous wave generator signal modulation method cannot be applied to the shear valve type continuous wave signal generator. Meanwhile, if the rotor waits for the phase change of the continuous wave signal at the zero speed point to realize signal modulation, the signal transmission rate will be significantly reduced. In summary, it is of great significance to propose a method for modulating the phase of the continuous wave signal under the condition of continuous and smooth motion of the motor.

[0099] In one embodiment, in order to change the driving motor speed smoothly during the phase change of the continuous wave signal, the speed planning method is used to design the speed of the driving motor. Taking the binary phase shift keying modulation as an example, when sending binary data 0, the phase of the continuous wave signal is offset from the carrier signal by 0, at this time, the flow area of the drilling fluid in the shear valve area is maximum, and the amplitude of the continuous wave signal is minimum; when sending binary data 1, the phase of the continuous wave signal is offset from the carrier signal by π, at this time, the flow area of the drilling fluid in the shear valve area is minimum, and the amplitude of the continuous wave signal is maximum.

[0100] The encoded data includes current encoded data and last encoded data, and the current encoded data and the last encoded data are both binary data;

[0101] The step S1022 of determining the required rotation angle of the driving motor in the current carrier cycle corresponding to the encoded data according to the preset modulation rule includes:

[0102] If the current encoder data and the last encoded data are both 0, the offset of the phase of the continuous wave signal from the carrier signal is 0, and the required rotation angle of the driving motor is determined by the following formula:

[0103]

[0104] If the current encoder data and the last encoder data are both 1, the offset of the continuous wave signal relative to the phase of the carrier signal is π, and the required rotation angle of the driving motor is determined by the following formula:

[0105]

[0106] If the current encoder data and the last encoder data are not the same, the required rotation angle of the driving motor is determined by the following formula:

[0107]

[0108] Where n is the number of shear valve blades, is the offset of the last continuous wave signal relative to the phase of the carrier signal, is the offset of the current continuous wave signal relative to the phase of the carrier signal.

[0109] In the embodiment of the application, the offset of the continuous wave signal phase in the current carrier cycle and the required rotation angle of the driving motor are calculated by comparing the current encoder data, i.e., the binary data currently sent by the encoder, with the last encoder data, i.e., the binary data last sent by the encoder.

[0110] In one embodiment, the encoding data includes current encoding data and last encoding data.

[0111] The step S103 of determining the driving motor speed change trend corresponding to the downhole information in the current carrier cycle according to the preset speed planning method includes the following steps.

[0112] S1031, obtaining current encoding data and last encoding data.

[0113] In the step S1031, the binary data last sent by the encoder, i.e., the last encoding data, and the binary data currently sent by the encoder, i.e., the current encoding data, are obtained.

[0114] S1032, determining the speed change trend corresponding to the required rotation angle of the driving motor based on the current encoding data and the last encoding data according to a preset speed planning method.

[0115] In the step S1032, the driving motor speed change trend is planned according to the current encoding data and the last encoding data, so that the driving motor rotates the required rotation angle under the condition of smooth speed change. The preset speed planning method can be set according to actual needs, as long as it can make the driving motor rotate smoothly.

[0116] In one embodiment, the rotational angle of the driving motor is planned according to the required rotational angle of the driving motor, and the rotational speed of the driving motor is planned to rotate the corresponding angle under the condition of smooth speed change, for example, the rotational speed of the driving motor is planned by using an S-curve, and the planning method is as follows:

[0117] The step S1032 of determining the speed change trend corresponding to the required rotational angle of the driving motor according to the preset speed planning method based on the current encoding data and the last encoding data includes:

[0118] If the current encoding data and the last encoding data are both 0, the starting rotational speed of the driving motor and the ending rotational speed of the driving motor are both 0, and the rotational speed of the driving motor is first increased and then decreased by using an S-curve.

[0119] If the current encoding data and the last encoding data are both 1, the starting rotational speed of the driving motor and the ending rotational speed of the driving motor are both not 0, and the rotational speed of the driving motor needs to pass through a zero speed point, the rotational speed of the driving motor is first decreased to 0 by using an S-curve, and then reversely accelerated by using an S-curve after reaching the zero speed point.

[0120] If the last encoding data is 0 and the current encoding data is 1, the starting rotational speed of the driving motor is 0, the ending rotational speed of the driving motor is not 0, and the driving motor is accelerated by using an S-curve.

[0121] If the last encoding data is 1 and the current encoding data is 0, the starting rotational speed of the driving motor is not 0, the ending rotational speed of the driving motor is 0, and the driving motor is decelerated by using an S-curve.

[0122] It should be noted that the planning method is only one specific embodiment of the present application, and in other embodiments, other methods can also be used, and any method that can make the rotational speed of the driving motor change smoothly is within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0123] As a specific embodiment, the stator and rotor structures of the oscillating shear valve provided by the embodiments of the present application are shown in Figure 3a , 3b respectively. The stator and rotor both include six uniformly distributed blades, and the projection of the rotor blade 11 on the stator at the initial moment can completely coincide with the stator blade 9. The opening angle of the stator valve port 10 and the rotor valve port 12 is both 22.5°. When the stator is installed upstream of the rotor, the stator and rotor blades have the same center, and the gap between them is 2 mm. When the projection of the rotor blade 11 on the stator completely coincides with the stator blade 9, the flow area of the drilling fluid at the oscillating shear valve is maximum, the amplitude of the pressure wave of the drilling fluid generated upstream of the stator is minimum, and the phase of the continuous wave signal is 0; when the projection of the rotor blade 11 on the stator completely blocks the stator valve port 10, the flow area of the drilling fluid at the oscillating shear valve is minimum, the amplitude of the pressure wave of the drilling fluid generated upstream of the stator is maximum, and the phase of the continuous wave signal is π.

[0124] The preset modulation rule, namely the mapping table of symbol 13, continuous wave signal phase offset 14, and rotor rotation angle 15 relative to initial position, is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. It should be noted that the continuous wave signal phase offset 14 is the phase of the continuous wave signal at the detection moment, the rotor initial position is the rotor position when the projection of rotor blade 11 on the stator completely coincides with the stator blade 9 at the moment the oscillating shear valve starts working, and the rotor rotation angle 15 relative to the initial position is the rotation angle of the rotor relative to the initial position at the detection moment. Taking binary phase shift keying (BPSK) as an example, according to the BPSK modulation rules, symbol 0 corresponds to a continuous wave signal phase offset of 0, and symbol 1 corresponds to a continuous wave signal phase offset of π. Assuming the continuous wave generator starts working with a continuous wave signal phase of 0, at this time the stator and rotor blades are axially aligned, and the drilling fluid flow area is at its maximum. When symbol 0 is sent, after the carrier cycle time ends, the stator and rotor should still keep their axes aligned to maximize the drilling fluid flow area. For the oscillating shear valve structure in the embodiment, the rotor blades rotate 0 or 60° relative to the initial position. When symbol 1 is sent, the drilling fluid pressure wave amplitude formed upstream of the stator is at its maximum, the drilling fluid flow area in the valve region is at its minimum, the rotor blades completely block the stator valve port, and the rotor blades rotate 30° relative to the initial position.

[0125] To further describe the drilling fluid continuous wave smoothing phase modulation method provided in this embodiment of the invention, this embodiment uses binary data as an example to illustrate the rotation angle of the drive motor (i.e., the shear valve), the rotor speed, and the drilling fluid continuous wave waveform during the drilling fluid continuous wave smoothing phase modulation process:

[0126] When the binary data is "0110", the change of the rotor angle of the oscillating shear valve over time is as follows: Figure 4As shown in the figure. Based on the motion characteristics of the oscillating shear valve, the rotor angle smoothly changes between 0 and 60°. We define an increase in rotor angle as forward rotation and a decrease as reverse rotation. When the transmitted binary data is 0, the rotor angle smoothly changes by 60° within the carrier period T. At this time, the projection of the rotor blades on the stator still coincides with the stator blades, the drilling fluid flow area is at its maximum, and the continuous wave signal phase remains unchanged. The rotor angle change is shown as curve 16 in the figure. Subsequently, binary data 1 is transmitted. Since the rotor has reached its maximum rotation angle, it rotates in the reverse direction according to curve 17, rotating 30° after one carrier period. At this time, the projection of the rotor blades on the stator coincides with the stator valve opening, the drilling fluid flow area is at its minimum, the continuous wave signal amplitude is at its maximum, and the signal phase shift is π. Subsequently, binary data 1 is transmitted again. Since the rotor has not returned to its initial position, it first rotates in the reverse direction, then in the forward direction, finally reaching an angle of 30°. The angle change is shown as curve 18. Then, binary data 0 is sent. The phase of the continuous wave signal needs to be offset by 0, the amplitude is the smallest, and the drilling fluid flow area is the largest. Since the rotor has not reached the maximum rotation angle, the rotor only needs to rotate 30° in the positive direction within one carrier cycle. The change in rotation angle is shown in curve 19.

[0127] When the binary data is "0110", the change in rotor speed of the oscillating shear valve over time is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the rotor speed of the shear valve is planned using an S-curve. Initially, the continuous wave signal phase is 0. When binary data 0 is sent, the rotor needs to rotate 60° to ensure its projection on the stator coincides with the stator blades, and this rotation is in the opposite direction. After rotating 60°, the rotor speed should be 0. Therefore, the rotor speed changes according to curve 20. Then, binary data 1 is sent. Because the rotor has reached its rotation limit, it needs to reverse 30° to ensure the drilling fluid flow area is minimized. At this time, the speed change curve is shown as curve 21. Then, binary data 1 is sent again. The rotor first decelerates in the reverse direction to 0, and then accelerates in the forward direction to ensure the shear valve position remains unchanged. The speed change is shown as curve 22. Finally, binary data 0 is sent. The rotor decelerates according to curve 23, eventually reaching a position with a rotation angle of 60°.

[0128] When the binary data "0110" is sent, the continuous wave waveform of the drilling fluid is as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the figure. When data 0 is transmitted, the waveform is as shown in curve 24; when data 1 is transmitted, the waveform is as shown in curve 25; when data 1 is transmitted, the waveform is as shown in curve 26; when data 0 is transmitted, the waveform is as shown in curve 27. It can be seen from the figure that when the carrier period ends, the signal phase can reach the preset value.
