[0046] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other in any manner.

[0047] like Figures 1-9 The figure shows an embodiment of the present invention, which discloses a well logging device comprising, connected in order from top to bottom, an upper joint 1, a tension detection sub 2, an intermediate joint 3, and a lower joint 4. A quick-screw nut 5 is rotatably mounted on the upper joint 1 and is used to connect to an external device. An upper plug 6 is provided at the top of the upper joint 1, and a lower plug 7 is disposed within the lower joint 4. The lower plug 7 is fixed to the intermediate joint 3. The upper plug 6 and the lower plug 7 are respectively used to connect to external terminals. Furthermore, a temperature probe 8 and a mud resistivity probe 9 are provided on the intermediate joint 3 to measure mud temperature and mud resistivity.

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the tension detection sub 2 includes a vertically arranged support tube 201, the top of which is connected to the upper joint 1 and the bottom to the middle joint 3. An inner core tube 202 is coaxially fixedly connected to the interior of the support tube 201. A tension-pressure test bridge 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner core tube 202, and a buffer gap 204 is formed between the tension-pressure test bridge 203 and the inner wall of the support tube 201.

[0049] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, an outer casing 205 is sleeved on the support tube 201, and the bottom of the outer casing 205 is sleeved on the intermediate joint 3 and threadedly connected to the intermediate joint 3. A stop ring 206 is integrally formed on the support tube 201, and a limit ring 207 is integrally formed on the top of the outer casing 205. The limit ring 207 is sleeved on the support tube 201 and is located between the upper joint 1 and the stop ring 206. The distance between the limit ring 207 and the upper joint 1 and the stop ring 206 is less than 2 mm.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a balancing ring groove 208 is provided along the circumference of the outer wall of the support tube 201, and a balancing ring cavity 209 is formed between the limit ring 207, the support tube 201, the intermediate joint 3, and the outer casing 205. At the same time, a plurality of balancing holes 210 are evenly provided on the outer casing 205. The plurality of balancing holes 210 are respectively connected to the balancing ring cavity 209, so that mud liquid can enter the balancing ring cavity 209 through the plurality of balancing holes 210.

[0051] In this embodiment, the distance L1 between the inner sidewall of the outer casing 205 and the bottom of the balance ring groove 208 is equal to the sum of the distance L2 between the outer sidewall of the support tube 201 and the bottom of the balance ring groove 208 and the distance L3 between the outer sidewall of the bottom position of the upper joint 1 and the outer sidewall of the support tube 201, so as to offset the mud force along the axial direction of the support tube 201, thereby achieving pressure balance. The pressure balance principle is as follows:

[0052] Reference Figure 4When the logging device is put into the well, the mud enters the gap between the upper joint 1 and the limit ring 207. At this time, the mud generates a vertical upward force F1 on the upper joint 1 and a vertical downward force F2 on the limit ring 207. During this process, after the mud enters the balance ring cavity 209, the mud generates a vertical upward force F3 on the stop ring 206, and at the same time generates a vertical upward force F4 on the top inner wall of the balance ring groove 208. At the same time, the mud enters the gap between the stop ring 206 and the outer casing 205 and enters between the limit ring 207 and the stop ring 206. The mud generates a vertical upward force F5 on the limit ring 207 and a vertical downward force F6 on the stop ring 206. Since the force F3 and the force F6 cancel each other out, and the force F2 and the force F5 cancel each other out, the vertical upward mud force F along the support tube 201 is F3. 上 =F1+F2. After the mud enters the balance ring cavity 209, the mud generates a vertical downward force F7 on the middle joint 3 and a vertical downward force F8 on the bottom inner wall of the balance ring groove 208. Therefore, the vertical downward mud force F along the support tube 201 is 下 =F7+F8.

[0053] Since the distance L1 between the inner wall of the outer casing 205 and the bottom of the balance ring groove 208 is equal to the sum of the distance L2 between the outer wall of the support tube 201 and the bottom of the balance ring groove 208 and the distance L3 between the outer wall of the bottom position of the upper joint 1 and the outer wall of the support tube 201, that is, the area between the outer wall of the bottom position of the upper joint 1 and the outer wall of the support tube 201 + the area between the outer wall of the support tube 201 and the bottom of the balance ring groove 208 = the area between the outer wall of the intermediate joint 3 and the outer wall of the support tube 201 + the area of ​​the bottom inner wall of the balance ring groove 208, it can be concluded from the pressure relationship that F1+F2=F7+F8, that is, F 上 =F 下 , so that the mud force along the axial direction of the support tube 201 can be offset, thereby achieving pressure balance. At the same time, due to the buffer gap 204 between the tension and pressure test bridge 203 and the inner sidewall of the support tube 201, the support tube 201 is subjected to the mud force along the radial direction of the tension test sub, and this force is not transmitted to the tension and pressure test bridge 203, thereby ensuring the testing accuracy of the tension and pressure test bridge 203.

[0054] The logging device in this embodiment optimizes the tension test nipple structure and pressure balance method, and replaces the original oil-filled pressure balance method with an area equivalent pressure balance method, thereby achieving the same pressure balance effect, reducing the cost of use, improving the convenience of operation, and reducing the maintenance workload of the logging device.

[0055] In this embodiment, the distances between the limiting ring 207 and the upper joint 1 and the retaining ring 206 are 1.5 mm respectively. This design can also limit the outer casing 205 in the vertical direction to prevent the outer casing 205 from being disengaged, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0056] In this embodiment, the tension and pressure test bridge 203 adopts a Wheatstone bridge, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail herein. Of course, in other embodiments, other forms of test bridges may also be adopted, which will not be listed in detail herein.

[0057] In this embodiment, the upper plug 6 is a 32-pin terminal block, comprising a 32-pin aviation plug, a 32-pin BOLCK connector, and a 32-pin tail clip. The lower plug 7 is a 32-pin terminal block, comprising a 32-pin pressure block and a 32-pin counterclockwise female connector. The terminal blocks used in the upper and lower plugs 6 and 7 are conventional and will not be described in detail here. Of course, other types of terminal blocks may also be used in other embodiments.

[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the intermediate joint 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 10 and a second mounting hole 11, which are arranged 180 degrees apart. The temperature probe 8 is fixedly mounted in the first mounting hole 10, and the mud resistivity probe 9 is fixedly mounted in the second mounting hole 11. Furthermore, the outer wall of the intermediate joint 3 is provided with a mud disturbance groove 12 connected to the second mounting hole 11. This enhances mud flushing and promotes mud flow around the mud resistivity probe 9 during well logging, thereby improving measurement accuracy.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, a protective sleeve 13 is rotatably mounted on the intermediate joint 3. Protective sleeve 13 is provided with a first clearance hole 14 and a second clearance hole 15. When the first clearance hole 14 is aligned with the temperature probe 8, the second clearance hole 15 is aligned with the mud resistivity probe 9, allowing both the temperature probe 8 and the mud resistivity probe 9 to be exposed simultaneously. Similarly, when the first clearance hole 14 is misaligned with the temperature probe 8, the second clearance hole 15 is misaligned with the mud resistivity probe 9, thereby shielding and protecting the temperature probe 8 and the mud resistivity probe 9, reducing the risk of collision between the temperature probe 8 and the mud resistivity probe 9 during transportation of the logging apparatus.

[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 5As shown, a limit screw 16 is threadedly connected to the protective sleeve 13. The intermediate joint 3 is provided with an opening slot and a closing slot (not shown in the figure), and the limit screw 16 can be threadedly connected to the opening slot or the closing slot. When the limit screw 16 is threadedly connected to the opening slot, the first clearance hole 14 is aligned with the temperature probe 8, and the second clearance hole 15 is aligned with the mud resistivity probe 9, so that the temperature probe 8 and the mud resistivity probe 9 can be simultaneously exposed. When the limit screw 16 is threadedly connected to the closing slot, the first clearance hole 14 is offset from the temperature probe 8, and the second clearance hole 15 is offset from the mud resistivity probe 9, so that the protective sleeve 13 can simultaneously shield and protect the temperature probe 8 and the mud resistivity probe 9.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the top of the support tube 201 is inserted into the lower port of the upper joint 1 and is threadedly connected to the upper joint 1. The bottom of the support tube 201 is inserted into the upper port of the intermediate joint 3 and is threadedly connected to the intermediate joint 3. The bottom of the intermediate joint 3 is inserted into the upper port of the lower joint 4 and is threadedly connected to the lower joint 4. At the same time, the lower end of the upper joint 1 is threadedly connected with multiple limiting screws 17. The outer side wall of the support tube 201 is provided with an annular anti-retraction groove 18 along its circumference. The multiple limiting screws 17 can be respectively inserted into the anti-retraction groove 18 to improve the connection stability between the upper joint 1 and the support tube 201.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the support tube 201 and the lower end of the intermediate joint 3 are respectively provided with annular mounting grooves 20 along their respective circumferences, and a sealing member 19 is respectively embedded in each mounting groove 20, and the sealing member 19 can be tightly abutted against the inner side walls of the upper joint 1, the intermediate joint 3 and the lower joint 4 to achieve sealing between the upper joint 1, the support tube 201, the intermediate joint 3 and the lower joint 4.

[0063] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, each sealing member 19 includes a sealing ring 191 and a sealing ring 192. The sealing ring 191 is made of polymer engineering plastic, and the sealing ring 192 is made of elastic material. The sealing ring 192 is tightly abutted against the corresponding sealing ring 191. At the same time, the inner edge positions of the sealing ring 192 and the sealing ring 191 are respectively embedded in the corresponding mounting groove 20, and the outer edge positions can be tightly abutted against the inner side wall of the upper joint 1, the middle joint 3 or the lower joint 4.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, a notch 193 is provided on the sealing ring 191, and the sealing ring 191 is formed into a C-shaped structure to facilitate the installation of the sealing ring 191. The two end surfaces of the sealing ring 191 located at the notch 193 are respectively composed of a straight surface and an inclined surface. The two straight surfaces and the two inclined surfaces are respectively parallel, and the straight surface of the sealing ring 191 is arranged along the radial direction of the sealing ring 191.

[0065] In one embodiment, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the sealing ring 191 is provided with an annular positioning groove 27 along its circumference, and one side of the sealing ring 192 is embedded in the corresponding positioning groove 27, thereby realizing the limiting between the sealing ring 191 and the sealing ring 192, so as to improve the connection stability between the sealing ring 191 and the sealing ring 192.

[0066] The sealing method of sealing ring 191 + sealing ring 192 not only improves the sealing effect, but also ensures the heat and pressure resistance of seal 19, allowing the logging device to operate stably in ultra-high temperature and high pressure environments, improving the operational stability of the logging device. Furthermore, the specially designed cutout 193 of sealing ring 191 improves the structural stability of sealing ring 191 and ensures the tight contact between sealing ring 191 and the component, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.

[0067] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 191 can be made of spring steel, and the sealing ring 192 can be made of heat-resistant rubber. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing ring 191 and the sealing ring 192 can also be made of other materials. Furthermore, the sealing member 19 can be added between the temperature probe 8 and the intermediate joint 3, between the mud resistivity probe 9 and the intermediate joint 3, or between two adjacent components to improve the sealing effect between the two components, thereby improving the temperature and pressure resistance of the logging device, enabling the logging device to operate stably in harsh environments.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the logging device also includes an upper protective cap 21 and a lower protective cap 22. The upper protective cap 21 is sleeved on the top of the upper joint 1 and can be threadedly connected to the quick-screw nut 5. The lower protective cap 22 is movably inserted into the lower port of the lower joint 4 and threadedly connected to the lower joint 4, thereby protecting the upper plug 6 and the lower plug 7.

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the outer wall of the upper connector 1 is circumferentially provided with a first annular groove 23. Two first O-rings 24 are embedded within this groove. These two first O-rings 24 abut against each other and the inner wall of the upper protective cap 21, respectively, to achieve a seal between the upper connector 1, the upper protective cap 21, and external devices. The use of a double O-ring mechanical seal interface, replacing the traditional single-pass seal structure, effectively improves sealing effectiveness while also enhancing temperature and pressure resistance to ensure the proper operation of the logging device.

[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, the outer wall of the lower protective cap 22 is provided with a second annular groove 25, and a second O-ring 26 is embedded in the second annular groove 25, and the second O-ring 26 is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the lower joint 4 to achieve sealing between the lower joint 4 and the lower protective cap 22, thereby achieving stable protection for the lower plug 7.

[0071] From the above, it can be seen that compared with the existing technology, this logging device can reduce the use cost, improve the operation convenience, reduce the workload of subsequent maintenance, and at the same time shorten the overall length of the logging device, thereby facilitating the staff's operation and transportation of the logging device.
