Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a logging cable mud cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Logging cables are used for logging, perforation, and coring operations in various oil and gas wells. They can also be used for water conservancy and hydrological surveying, coalfield geological exploration, and geothermal logging. They serve as connecting lines between surface systems and underground instruments for load-bearing connections and for transmitting measurement data. After use, the surface of the cable is often covered with silt and debris, which must be removed during winding.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214813149U discloses a well logging armored cable cleaner, which includes a cleaning component, a drying component, and an oiling component. The cleaning component includes a cleaning box with a cleaning channel for the cable to pass through. One end of the cleaning box has a water inlet, and the other end has a drain outlet. The drying component includes two drying blocks, and the cable passes between the two drying blocks. The oiling component includes an oiling seat for the cable to pass through, and the oiling seat has an oil drainage channel. One end of the oil drain channel faces the outer surface of the cable, and the other end of the oil drain channel is connected to an oil storage box. This application has the effect of improving the working efficiency when performing anti-corrosion treatment on the cable. However, in actual use, after cleaning the cable, the water stains on the cable are wiped dry by the wiping block. After working for a long time, the wiping block is full of water stains and becomes very damp. If it is not drained in time, the cable cannot be wiped dry. The dust on the cable is easy to mix with the water stains to form stains, which reduces the cleaning effect of the cable and affects the subsequent use of the cable.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a logging cable mud cleaning device, including:

[0038] Includes support frame 1;

[0039] The cleaning mechanism 2 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is used to clean the surface of the cable to be cleaned. Each end of the cleaning mechanism 2 is provided with a first guide roller 4.

[0040] The wiping mechanism 3 is mounted on the support frame 1 and located at the end of the cleaning mechanism 2. The wiping mechanism 3 wipes the surface of the cleaned cable.

[0041] The drying mechanism is located at the end of the wiping mechanism 3 and is used to dry the surface of the cable after wiping.

[0042] The logging cable mud cleaning device described in this embodiment cleans the mud from the surface of the logging cable using a cleaning mechanism, wipes the water stains off the cleaned cable using a wiping mechanism, and then dries the surface of the cable using a drying mechanism. This cleaning device can effectively prevent the cleaning logging cable from getting contaminated with dust and water stains, thus improving the cleaning effect of the logging cable and facilitating its clean use.

[0043] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning box 21, and a spraying component and a cleaning component disposed in the cleaning box 21. The spraying component is located above the cleaning component. The spraying component is used to spray the cable surface, and the cleaning component is used to clean the cable surface.

[0044] The cleaning box 21 is a box with an opening at the top and a hollow interior. Both ends of the cleaning box 21 have notches, and the first guide roller 4 is installed at the notches.

[0045] A drain outlet is also provided on one side wall of the cleaning tank 21, and a drain pipe 27 is connected to the drain outlet. A control valve is also installed on the drain pipe 27.

[0046] The spraying component includes a fixed plate 22 and a nozzle 23 disposed at the bottom end of the fixed plate 22. The water inlet end of the nozzle 23 is connected to the water supply pipeline through a water inlet pipe 24.

[0047] There are multiple fixing plates 22, and one end of the fixing plate 22 is hinged to the cleaning box 21. The inner wall of the cleaning box 21 is also provided with a support plate 25 to support the other end of the fixing plate 22. The fixing plate 22 and the support plate 25 are detachably connected.

[0048] The fixed plate 22 has a limiting hole at one end away from its hinge. The cleaning tank 21 has a through hole corresponding to the limiting hole on one side wall. The cleaning tank 21 has a limiting pin installed on its outer wall. The pin head of the limiting pin can extend into the through hole and the limiting hole to limit the fixed plate 22.

[0049] The cleaning component includes two sets of brushes 26 disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 21, with the two sets of brushes 26 being disposed correspondingly.

[0050] The first guide roller 4 is mounted on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 21 via the mounting frame 7, and the first guide roller 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 7.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, for the spraying component, the fixing plate 22 is hinged to the cleaning box 21. Lifting the fixing plate 22 causes the nozzle 23 to be lifted. After placing the cable in the cleaning area, the fixing plate 22 is covered, so that the nozzle 23 is located above the cable. The water inlet pipe 24 is connected to the water supply pipe. The cleaning fluid enters the nozzle 23 through the water inlet pipe 24, and the nozzle 23 sprays out the cleaning fluid to clean the logging cable.

[0052] Meanwhile, the limiting pins set on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 21 effectively limit the fixing plate 22, making it convenient to lift and place the fixing plate 22. In this embodiment, the limiting pins are elastic limiting pins with springs inside that are actually purchased. The limiting pins are not shown in the attached drawings and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] For the cleaning components, two sets of brushes 26 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the cleaning tank 21, and a drain pipe 27 is connected to the front surface of the cleaning tank 21. The brushes 26 are used to brush away the dirt on the logging cable. The drain pipe 27 is equipped with a control valve. Opening the control valve on the drain pipe 27 facilitates the discharge of sewage from the cleaning tank 21.

[0054] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the scrubbing mechanism 3 includes a housing body 31, the housing body 31 has a cavity inside, and the housing body 31 has a recess between the housing bodies;

[0055] The outer shell 31 is equipped with a drive motor 32. The output end of the drive motor 32 is connected to a rotating shaft 33. One end of the rotating shaft 33 passes through a notch and is rotatably connected to an inner side wall of the outer shell 31 through a bearing.

[0056] A turntable 34 is provided on the rotating shaft 33 located at the notch. There are two turntables 34. A water-absorbing sponge 35 is provided on the side wall of the two adjacent turntables 34.

[0057] Two rollers 36 are provided on the outer shell body 31. The two rollers 36 are located between two turntables 34, and the outer wall of the rollers 36 is attached to the water-absorbing sponge 35.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 is used to drive the rotating shaft 33 to rotate via the drive motor 32, which in turn drives the turntable 34 to rotate. The water-absorbing sponge 35 on the turntable 34 is used to wipe the water stains on the logging cable. At the same time, the drive motor 32 works with the turntable 34 to drive the water-absorbing sponge 35 to rotate. The water-absorbing sponge 35 is squeezed by the roller 36 to squeeze out the water, which facilitates the continuous water absorption and wiping work of the water-absorbing sponge 35, prevents the cable from getting dirty with dust and water stains, and improves the cleaning effect on the cable.

[0059] In some embodiments, a second guide roller 5 is also provided at the notch, and the second guide roller 5 is mounted on the outer shell body 31 by a fixing frame 8;

[0060] The second guide roller 5 is flush with the first guide roller 4.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the first guide roller 4 and the second guide roller 5, the logging cable is effectively supported and the movement direction of the logging cable is guided. The second guide roller 5 supports the logging cable and prevents the logging cable from contacting the rotating shaft 33, so as not to affect the normal operation of the cleaning mechanism 3.

[0062] In some embodiments, the drying mechanism includes an exhaust fan 6, the housing of which is mounted on the outer wall of the housing body 31 on the side away from the cleaning mechanism 2, and the exhaust fan 6 is used to dry the surface of the cable after it has been wiped clean.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, an exhaust fan 6 is installed at the end of the cleaning device to effectively dry the cleaned logging cable. Combined with the water-absorbing sponge 35 installed at the front end, it can effectively prevent the logging cable from getting dirty with dust and water stains, thus improving the cleaning effect of the logging cable.

[0064] It should be noted that this embodiment does not improve the main structure of the exhaust fan 6. The accompanying drawings are for simplification only and do not show all the details. The main structure of the exhaust fan 6 and its connecting lines will not be described in detail here.

[0065] When implementing this plan:

[0066] Lift the fixing plate 22 to raise the nozzle 23, place the logging cable to be cleaned on the first guide roller 4 on the cleaning box 21, and cover the fixing plate 22 so that the nozzle 23 is above the logging cable. The water inlet pipe 24 is connected to the water supply line, and the cleaning fluid enters the nozzle 23 through the water inlet pipe 24 to clean the logging cable below the nozzle 23. At the same time, the traction device moves the logging cable, and the logging cable friction brush 26 further cleans the mud and dirt on the logging cable. The cleaned logging cable is supported and guided by the second guide roller 5, and the logging cable passes through two... The water-absorbing sponges 35 pass between each other, and the logging cable comes into contact with the water-absorbing sponges 35. The water-absorbing sponges 35 absorb the water stains on the logging cable. At the same time, the drive motor 32 is started. The drive motor 32 drives the two turntables 34 to rotate through the rotating shaft 33. The turntables 34 drive the water-absorbing sponges 35 to rotate. The installation position of the roller 36 squeezes the water-absorbing sponges 35, so that when the water-absorbing sponges 35 rotate, they work with the roller 36 to squeeze out the water from the water-absorbing sponges 35, which facilitates the continuous water absorption work of the water-absorbing sponges 35. Then, the logging cable with water stains removed is dried by the exhaust fan 6, completing the cleaning of the cable.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
