Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and natural gas drilling engineering, and in particular to an intelligent measuring device for drilling tools. Background Art

[0002] In drilling operations, the accuracy of drill bit length is crucial, and its accuracy is directly related to a series of operations such as well depth measurement, layer jamming and even complex accident handling.

[0003] At present, oil drilling sites generally use measuring tools such as tape measures to manually measure and record the length of drilling tools. This method is widely used in oil field operations. However, this measurement method also has the following obvious disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Manual measurement is based on visual results, which are random and uncertain, and have large systematic errors. At the same time, on-site manual measurement results are also affected by a series of natural conditions such as environment and temperature.

[0005] 2. When using measuring tools such as tape measures to measure drilling tools, surveyors also need to record data at any time, which affects efficiency, causes human input errors, and the measurement results cannot be traced. Once an input error occurs, it is difficult to identify.

[0006] 3. The length of drilling pipes such as drill pipes, drill collars, casing and oil pipes is generally more than 9.5 meters. When measured manually, they are greatly affected by the tension and tension of both sides and the environmental wind speed, which can easily cause inaccurate measurement of a single pipe. The accumulation of errors of hundreds of drilling tools in deep wells can cause greater measurement data errors.

[0007] 4. Manual measurement of drilling tools usually requires 2 people to measure and 1 person to record, which results in low operating efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an intelligent measuring device for drilling tools, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0010] A drilling tool intelligent measuring device comprises a measuring instrument, a voice control module and a controller. The measuring instrument can be used to measure the length of a drill rod body. The measuring instrument and the voice control module are respectively connected to the controller for communication.

[0012] The measurements of the above measuring instruments are repeatable, which improves the accuracy of the measurements.

[0013] The present invention has high measurement accuracy, small system error, accurate and fast measurement, high intelligence and convenient carrying; the measurement results can be stored and traced, thus saving measurement time and improving efficiency.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0015] Furthermore, the measuring instrument includes a laser emitter and a reflector, the laser emitter and the reflector are relatively distributed, and the voice control module and the controller are respectively fixedly mounted on the laser emitter; the laser emitter is communicatively connected to the controller, and the laser emitter is used to emit laser and receive the laser reflected back by the reflector.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that when measuring, the laser is emitted by the laser transmitter, and the laser is directed to the reflective plate, which reflects the laser and returns it to the laser transmitter. The laser transmitter receives the returned laser and calculates the length of the drill pipe body, and transmits the corresponding measurement quantity to the controller; at the same time, the operator can send the number of the drill pipe body to the controller through the voice control module, and can complete the input of the target drilling tool number, the inspection results and the measurement data storage, and generate a data list.

[0017] Furthermore, the laser transmitter is a laser ranging sensor.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the selection is reasonable, the laser distance measuring sensor has the characteristics of fast speed, high accuracy and large range, and the measurement is convenient.

[0019] Furthermore, the reflective plate is fixedly mounted on a fixture, and the fixture is used to be detachably connected to the drill rod body.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are simple structure and reasonable design. The reflector can be detachably mounted on the drill rod body through a fixture to measure drill rods of different specifications. The assembly and disassembly is convenient, saving time and effort.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixer is a magnet plate, and the reflective plate is fixedly mounted on the magnet plate.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the reflective plate can be detachably mounted on the drill rod body by using the magnet plate, so as to measure drill rods of different specifications, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, saving time and effort.

[0023] Furthermore, the reflective plate is fixed to one end of one side of the magnet plate and is opposite to the laser emitter.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are simple structure, reasonable setting of the position of the reflector, convenient adsorption of the corresponding ends of the magnet plate and the drill rod body, and no influence on the coordination between the reflector and the laser emitter, and the design is ingenious.

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a display, which is fixedly mounted on the measuring instrument and is communicatively connected with the controller.

[0026] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the result of each measurement will be displayed on the display. When the operator displays the drilling tool number on the display through the voice control module, he can click the confirmation button on the display, and then the next measurement will be carried out.
