[0033] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Embodiment 1: Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a self-counting drill pipe inner wall scraping device, including a fixed cylinder 1 and a salvage assembly 4 and a counterweight assembly 5 respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the fixed cylinder, and a travel assembly 2 and an anchor assembly 3 are also installed on the fixed cylinder 1; the travel assembly 2 includes two support frames 21 arranged opposite to each other, the two support frames 21 are arranged in a V shape, and the two support frames 21 are rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder 1 through bearings 22 at the bottom of the V shape, and the two support frames 21 are rotatably arranged at the ends far from the bearings 22 of the two support frames 21, and a permanent magnet 24 is installed at one place on the outer edge of the travel wheel 23, and a Hall sensor 25 adapted to the permanent magnet 24 is arranged in the middle of the support frame 21, and the induction of the permanent magnet 24 by the Hall sensor 25 is used to count the rotation of the travel wheel 23, and a reset is arranged between the middles of the two support frames 21 Spring 26; the anchoring assembly 3 includes two magnetic slips 31 arranged opposite to each other, a compression spring 32 is arranged between the two magnetic slips 31, and an electromagnet 33 is also arranged between the two magnetic slips 31, and the electromagnet 33 is electrically connected to a battery and a control circuit; the salvage assembly 4 includes a salvage tube 41, the lower part of the salvage tube 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed tube 1 by a thread, a salvage cone 42 is slidably connected to the top of the salvage tube 41, a limiting boss 43 is arranged at the lower part of the salvage cone 42, a limiting spring 44 is arranged between the limiting boss 43 and the top of the salvage tube 41, a hook 45 is connected to the bottom of the salvage cone 42, a micro switch 46 is arranged in the hook 45, the micro switch 46 is electrically connected to the battery and the electromagnet 33, and a mud scraping assembly is arranged on the outer wall of the salvage tube 41.

[0035] The scraper device of the present invention can be directly placed into the drill pipe, and the scraper process can be performed while the drill pipe is being pulled out. The scraper has a good scraping effect, and the mud can be prevented from dripping onto the drilling table. The risk of slipping of drilling workers is reduced, the labor intensity of cleaning is reduced, the efficiency of pulling out the drill is improved, and the drilling cycle is effectively shortened. The present invention sets a stroke component 2 and an anchor component 3 in the fixed tube 1 of the scraper device, and the scraper can be fixed inside the drill pipe as needed. At the same time, the stroke distance in the drill pipe can be known without causing the scraper to fall. The electromagnet 33 of the anchor component 3 is magnetic when energized, causing the magnetic slip 31 to shrink, and the magnetism disappears when the power is off. The two magnetic slips 31 are pushed by the compression spring 32 to extend out of the fixed tube 1 and engage with the inner wall of the drill pipe, so that the scraper is fixed on the inner wall of the drill pipe.

[0036] The design of the salvage assembly 4 allows the scraper device of the present invention to brake when an unexpected power outage causes the scraper device to brake. The scraper cone 42 only needs to be lifted by an external rope. The salvage cone 42 drives the hook 45 to rise, thereby triggering the microswitch 46, energizing the electromagnet 33, and the slips can retract, releasing the brake and salvaging the scraper device.

[0037] The V-shaped support frame 21 in the stroke assembly 2 extends two symmetrical stroke wheels 23 into the fixed tube 1 and contacts the inner wall of the drill rod. When the scraper slides down, the friction force causes the stroke wheel 23 to rotate. The number of rotations of the stroke wheel 23 is counted by the Hall sensor 25 sensing the permanent magnet 24 to obtain the distance traveled by the scraper in the drill rod. A counter 27 is installed on the reset spring 26. When the stroke wheel 23 passes through the narrow part of the drill rod connection, it will shrink, and the reset spring 26 will be compressed and then reset. The counter 27 can know how many drill rods the scraper has passed by by recording the number of times the reset spring 26 is compressed.

[0038] It should be noted that the fixed cylinder 1 is provided with a travel limit groove 11, and the travel limit grooves 11 are two and symmetrically arranged. One end of the support frame 21 is located in the travel limit groove 11, driving the travel wheel 23 to extend out of the travel limit groove 11. The travel wheel 23 is a rubber wheel, and the outer edge of the travel wheel 23 is provided with anti-skid teeth. The design of the rubber wheel and the anti-skid teeth is conducive to increasing the friction between the travel wheel 23 and the inner wall of the drill rod, so that the travel wheel 23 can contact the inner wall of the drill rod more stably, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement.

[0039] Fixed columns are arranged on opposite sides of the two support frames 21 , and both ends of the reset spring 26 are respectively fixed on the fixed columns. The reset spring 26 is arc-shaped and can support the two support frames 21 to reset.

[0040] Embodiment 2: Figure 4As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, a compression counter 27 is provided on the reset spring 26, and the counter 27 is used to record the number of times the reset spring 26 is compressed. The counter 27 is installed on the reset spring 26, and when the travel wheel 23 passes through the narrow part of the drill rod connection, it will shrink, and the reset spring 26 will be compressed and reset. The counter 27 can know how many drill rods the scraper has passed by recording the number of times the reset spring 26 is compressed. Since the length of each drill rod is the same, the data of the counter 27 and the data of the travel wheel 23 can be mutually verified.

[0041] Embodiment 3: Figure 2 , 5 As shown, on the basis of the first or second embodiment, the side wall of the fixed cylinder 1 is provided with a symmetrical slip extension hole 12, and the magnetic slip 31 is slidably arranged in the slip extension hole 12 through the cover plate 34. The outer surface of the magnetic slip 31 is provided with an anti-skid groove. The battery and the control circuit are installed in the fixed cylinder 1. The control circuit can control the connection and disconnection of the battery and the electromagnet 33 as needed, so that the battery extends out of the fixed cylinder 1 and is fixed on the drill pipe, and can also release the fixation. The control circuit can also be connected to the counter 27 and the Hall sensor 25 for communication, obtain the data detected by them, and then send it to the ground staff.

[0042] It should be noted that a sealing plug is provided between the stroke assembly 2 and the anchor assembly 3 in the fixing cylinder 1 to prevent mud from entering the anchor assembly 3 from the stroke assembly 2 and damaging the battery and control circuit in the anchor assembly 3 .

[0043] Embodiment 4: Figure 1-3 As shown, the scraper assembly includes a scraper rubber 47, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the overshot tube 41, and the scraper rubber 47 has multiple layers. A straightening rubber can also be provided on the outer wall of the fixed tube 1. The counterweight assembly 5 includes a guide shoe 51 fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed tube 1, and a counterweight block 52 is sleeved on the guide shoe 51, and the counterweight block 52 is fixed to the guide shoe 51 by a fastening bolt 53.

[0044] The scraper rubber 47 can be a whole circle of rubber sleeved on the outer wall of the overshot tube 41, or it can be a plurality of separate fan-shaped rubbers. The whole circle of rubber can increase the opening, which is beneficial to reduce the scraper resistance and improve the scraper efficiency. The straightening rubber can effectively prevent the scraper device from deviating, avoiding shaking during the scraper process, causing an unstable center of gravity, and affecting the scraper effect.

[0045] The scraper device of the present invention can clean the mud on the inner wall of the drill pipe and can clearly count the distance traveled by the scraper device. At the same time, it can be fixed in the drill pipe as needed to facilitate the next scraping or salvaging. In the case of abnormal braking, the fixation can be released during salvaging, which will not cause fish to fall and is convenient for salvaging.

[0046] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
