Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ocean monitoring technology, and in particular to a deployment device and a deployment method for multi-parameter monitoring equipment of ocean formations. Background Art

[0002] Among the marine resources, natural gas hydrates, also known as "combustible ice", are currently attracting much attention. They are an ice-like solid formed under extremely low temperature and high pressure conditions, and are composed of methane and water molecules. As the global demand for clean energy continues to increase, natural gas hydrates have attracted much attention as a potential clean energy source, and their mining and utilization prospects are broad.

[0003] The exploitation of natural gas hydrates faces many challenges and risks. Countries mainly use pressure reduction to exploit hydrates in sandy reservoirs. However, pressure reduction will cause dynamic changes in the thermal-fluid-solid multi-field coupling of reservoir geology, weakening the cementation of sediments, leading to reservoir creep deformation, and restricting the long-term and safe exploitation of hydrates. At the same time, when natural gas hydrates decompose due to instability, they will cause changes in geological environment temperature and pressure. Therefore, it is particularly important to timely understand the changes in formation environment temperature and pressure during hydrate production.

[0004] At present, a deployment device is often used to deploy underwater monitoring equipment in the formation, and the various parameters of the formation are monitored by the monitoring equipment. In the related technology, the deployment device can only deploy a single monitoring device during a single entry into the water.

[0049] In the description of the present application, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device, which includes a sorting mechanism, a monitoring mechanism and a deployment mechanism. Among them, the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device can deploy multiple monitoring devices 201 in one water entry process, without the need to frequently recover the device above the water surface, and load the monitoring equipment 201 multiple times, thereby improving the deployment efficiency of the monitoring equipment 201.

[0051] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism is loaded with a plurality of monitoring devices 201, and the monitoring devices 201 preset for the current point are selected by the sorting mechanism, and finally the monitoring devices 201 are inserted into the formation by the deployment mechanism. As the deployment device of the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring device moves to different points underwater, the numerous monitoring devices 201 are sorted and deployed in the same process, and the deployment process of multiple monitoring devices 201 and multiple points is realized in one entry into the water.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the monitoring device 201 involved in the present application is in the specific form of a detection rod. After the detection rod penetrates a designated point in the formation, it can monitor various parameters at that point. The parameter values ​​transmitted in real time by the detection rod can provide guidance for the exploitation of natural gas hydrates.

[0053] Among them, the detection rod integrates temperature, pressure and other sensors to realize temperature and pressure monitoring. Each detection rod can be set to monitor the same parameters or different parameters.

[0054] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sorting mechanism includes a rotatable sorting component 101. Specifically, the sorting component 101 is formed into a disc-shaped structure, and when the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device is kept in an upright state, the end surface of the sorting component 101 is kept in a horizontal state.

[0055] Furthermore, the sorting component 101 is provided with a sorting slot 102 extending from the middle to the edge, and the sorting slot 102 forms a notch at the edge of the sorting component 101. At the same time, the width of the sorting slot 102 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the monitoring device 201, ensuring that the monitoring device 201 can fall into the sorting slot 102, thereby realizing the sorting process.

[0056] In some examples, the sorting mechanism further includes a sorting driver 103 and a transmission component 104, both of which are located at the top of the sorting component 101, and the transmission component 104 is connected to the sorting driver 103 on one hand, and is fixedly connected to the sorting component 101 on the other hand. Specifically, the sorting driver 103 is configured as a motor, the transmission component 104 is formed as a rod-shaped transmission shaft, and the transmission component 104 is connected to the center of the sorting component 101, and the sorting component 101 rotates with the transmission component 104 as the axis.

[0057] In addition, the position of the sorting driver 103 in the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device is stable, so that the transmission component 104 and the sorting component 101 also maintain stable positions in the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device.

[0058] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring mechanism includes a connection assembly and a plurality of monitoring devices 201, and each monitoring device 201 is rotatably connected to the connection assembly. When the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring device deployment device is kept upright, the connection method between each monitoring device 201 and the connection assembly limits each monitoring device 201 to rotate in the vertical direction, but cannot rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0059] Furthermore, each monitoring device 201 is detachably connected to the connecting component. During the loading process of the monitoring device 201, each monitoring device 201 is installed on the connecting component; during the deployment process of the monitoring device 201, the preset monitoring device 201 is detached from the connecting component to facilitate the penetration of the monitoring device 201 into the formation.

[0060] The two ends of the monitoring device 201 are a mounting end 2011 and a free end 2012, respectively, and each monitoring device 201 is connected to the connecting component through the mounting end 2011. At the same time, the connecting component is at the top of the sorting component 101, and there is a certain height difference between the mounting end 2011 and the sorting component 101, so the mounting end 2011 of each monitoring device 201 is also at the top of the sorting component 101. When there is no interference from other physical structures on each monitoring device 201, due to the height difference between the mounting end 2011 of the monitoring device 201 and the sorting component 101, each monitoring device 201 will spontaneously rotate toward the sorting component 101 under the action of its own gravity until it conflicts with the edge of the sorting component 101. At this time, each monitoring device 201 is in a tilted state, and part of the weight of the monitoring device 201 acts on the sorting component 101.

[0061] Under the premise that all monitoring devices 201 are in an inclined state, the sorting component 101 rotates so that the sorting slot 102 faces the preset monitoring device 201. The preset monitoring device 201 continues to rotate in the vertical direction under the action of its own gravity and spontaneously falls into the sorting slot 102. Since the sorting slot 102 extends to the middle of the sorting component 101, the preset monitoring device 201 is transformed from an inclined state to a vertical state, while other monitoring devices 201 remain in an inclined state. The monitoring device 201 in a vertical state is the selected monitoring device 201, thereby completing the sorting process of the monitoring device 201.

[0062] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connection assembly includes a movable connection component 202 and a plurality of connection joints 203 . The movable connection component 202 is formed into a circular ring structure and surrounds the outside of the transmission component 104 .

[0063] Furthermore, each connection joint 203 is hinged to the outside of the movable connection component 202, and when the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device is kept upright, each connection joint 203 can rotate in the vertical direction. The number of connection joints 203 is equal to the number of monitoring equipment 201, and each monitoring equipment 201 corresponds to each connection joint 203 one by one, and is connected to the connection joint 203 through the installation end 2011, so as to realize the vertical rotation process of each monitoring equipment 201. Specifically, the number of monitoring equipment 201 and connection joints 203 is set to 12.

[0064] In addition, each connection joint 203 is evenly spaced and distributed around the outer periphery of the movable connection part 202, that is, each connection joint 203 is in the form of an evenly spaced circular distribution, and the mounting end 2011 of each monitoring device 201 is also evenly spaced and distributed. Since each monitoring device 201 is formed into a rod-shaped structure, the free end 2012 of each monitoring device 201 extends in a direction away from the movable connection part 202, and therefore, the spacing between adjacent monitoring devices 201 gradually increases in a direction away from the movable connection part 202, that is, the overall structure formed by each monitoring device 201 is a linear divergent structure. When each monitoring device 201 is in a tilted state, the height of the mounting end 2011 of each monitoring device 201 is greater than the height of the free end 2012, and at this time, the overall structure formed by each monitoring device 201 is an "umbrella-shaped" structure.

[0065] In some examples, in order to realize the detachable connection between the connection joint 203 and the installation end 2011 of the monitoring device 201, the connection joint 203 is provided with an electromagnet 204. When the electromagnet 204 is powered on, it can adsorb the monitoring device 201, realize the installation of the connection joint 203 and the monitoring device 201, and ensure the loading process of each monitoring device 201; when the electromagnet 204 is powered off, it can release the monitoring device 201, realize the disassembly of the connection joint 203 and the monitoring device 201, and ensure the deployment process of the preset monitoring device 201.

[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device also includes a lifting mechanism, which includes a sleeve component 301 and a lifting driver 302. The sleeve component 301 is formed into a cylindrical structure with a certain length, so that the sleeve component 301 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission component 104. Since the transmission component 104 needs to rotate during the sorting process, and the sleeve component 301 does not move, the transmission component 104 is rotatably connected with the sleeve component 301 on the outside.

[0067] Furthermore, the movable connecting component 202 in the connecting assembly is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve component 301, so the sleeve component 301, the movable connecting component 202 and the transmission component 104 are all coaxial and tightly connected. In addition, the movable connecting component 202 is slidably connected to the sleeve component 301, thereby changing the height of the movable connecting component 202, and the movable connecting component 202 then forms a traction effect on each monitoring device 201, changing the height of each monitoring device 201.

[0068] Specifically, the outer wall of the sleeve component 301 is provided with a raised slide rail 303, which extends along the axial direction of the sleeve component 301. The inner wall of the movable connection component 202 is provided with a recessed portion. The slide rail 303 and the recessed portion are interlocked with each other to form a sliding connection, thereby guiding the height change process of the movable connection component 202.

[0069] Among them, the lifting driver 302 is used to drive the movable connection component 202 to increase its height. During this process, the movable connection component 202 pulls each monitoring device 201 to increase its height, so that each monitoring device 201 is freed from the restrictions of the external structure, making it easier for each monitoring device 201 to rotate freely to an inclined state that conflicts with the sorting component 101.

[0070] Specifically, Figure 8As shown, the lifting actuator 302 is arranged outside the sleeve component 301, and there are several of them. The fixed end of each lifting actuator 302 is fixedly connected to the sleeve component 301, and the output end of each lifting actuator 302 is connected to the movable connection component 202. Specifically, the lifting actuator 302 uses a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic rod. It can be understood that the hydraulic cylinder corresponds to the fixed end of the lifting actuator 302, and the hydraulic rod corresponds to the output end of the lifting actuator 302. Then the end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the movable connection component 202, and the hydraulic cylinder oil volume is controlled to realize the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod, thereby driving the movable connection component 202 to slide up and down.

[0071] In addition, in order to limit the height adjustment stroke of the movable connection component 202, the middle section of the sleeve component 301 and the end near the sorting component 101 are both provided with a limit protrusion 304, and the movable connection component 202 is located in the area between the two limit protrusions 304. The hydraulic rod passes through the limit protrusion 304 in the middle section and connects the movable connection component 202. It can be understood that when the movable connection component 202 slides to the limit protrusion 304 in the middle section, the movable connection component 202 is in the extreme high position; when the movable connection component 202 slides to the limit protrusion 304 in the end section, the movable connection component 202 is in the extreme low position.

[0072] In some examples, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device also includes a housing 401. The sorting mechanism, the monitoring mechanism and the deployment mechanism are all inside the housing 401, and the housing 401 provides protection and mechanical support for each mechanism.

[0073] The internal space of the housing 401 includes a first cabin 402, the first cabin 402 is cylindrical in shape and is located at the top of the internal space of the housing 401, and the top wall of the first cabin 402 is the top wall of the housing 401. The sorting mechanism and the lifting mechanism are both connected to the top wall of the first cabin 402, specifically, the sorting mechanism is connected to the top wall of the first cabin 402 through the sorting driver 103; the sleeve component 301 in the lifting mechanism is provided with a coupling disk 403, the coupling disk 403 is located at the end of the sleeve component 301 close to the top wall of the first cabin 402, and the coupling disk 403 is provided with a plurality of fixed shafts, and the coupling disk 403 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the first cabin 402 through the fixed shafts, so that the first cabin 402, the coupling disk 403 and the sleeve component 301 form a fixedly connected whole.

[0074] Furthermore, the bottom of the first chamber 402 is hollow, and a supporting edge 404 is provided at the bottom edge of the first chamber 402, and the supporting edge 404 extends a certain distance toward the bottom center of the first chamber 402 and surrounds the first chamber 402, so that the supporting edge 404 defines a hollow portion 405 at the bottom of the first chamber 402. The sorting mechanism and the lifting mechanism are within the range of the hollow portion 405, and the area of ​​the sorting component 101 in the horizontal direction is smaller than the area of ​​the hollow portion 405, so that each monitoring device 201 passes through the hollow portion 405 and contacts the sorting component 101 in an inclined state.

[0075] It is understandable that the support edge 404 is used to support the free end 2012 of each monitoring device 201 so that each monitoring device 201 is in a horizontal state. Before the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring device deployment device enters the water, each monitoring device 201 is in a horizontal state after loading and does not contact the sorting component 101. When the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring device deployment device sinks to the seabed, as the height of the movable connection component 202 is increased, under the traction effect, the length of interference between the free end 2012 of each monitoring device 201 and the support edge 404 becomes smaller and smaller, until each monitoring device 201 is lifted to no longer interfere with the support edge 404, and the free end 2012 of each monitoring device 201 immediately detaches from the support edge 404 and passes through the hollow portion 405. The position restriction of the support edge 404 for each monitoring device 201 is released, and each monitoring device 201 rotates to an inclined state by its own gravity, thereby contacting the sorting component 101.

[0076] In some examples, the internal space of the housing 401 further includes a second compartment 407, the second compartment 407 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape, and is located at the bottom of the internal space of the housing 401, and the bottom wall of the second compartment 407 is the bottom wall of the housing 401. It can be understood that the second compartment 407 is located at the bottom of the first compartment 402 and is connected to the first compartment 402 through the hollow portion 405. A partition plate 408 is provided in the middle of the second compartment 407, and the partition plate 408 divides the second compartment 407 into relatively independent upper and lower spaces.

[0077] Furthermore, if Fig.10 As shown, a guide component 409 is provided in the second chamber 407, and the guide component 409 is provided on the partition plate 408 and is located at the bottom of the sorting component 101. Specifically, the guide component 409 is hollow, and the hollow portion of the guide component 409 is generally formed in a cone shape, and the large end and the small end of the cone hollow portion are both open, the large end opening faces the sorting component 101, and the small end opening faces the placement mechanism.

[0078] In addition, the selected monitoring device 201 will fall into the selection slot 102, detach from the corresponding connection joint 203 in the selection slot 102, and freely fall to the large end opening of the guide component 409, thereby entering the internal space of the guide component 409. The selected monitoring device 201 slides along the inclined inner wall of the guide component 409 to the small end opening, and passes through the small end opening to reach the placement mechanism.

[0079] In some examples, a connector terminal 406 is provided on the top of the housing 401, and the connector terminal 406 is used to connect a cable, and specifically, the cable is an optoelectronic composite cable. A plurality of support seats 412 are provided at the bottom of the housing 401, and the support seats 412 are supported on the seabed stratum to provide bottom support for the entire device.

[0080] In some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, the second compartment 407 is provided with a plurality of upright limiting components 410 , each limiting component 410 is disposed on the top of the partition plate 408 and extends to the first compartment 402 .

[0081] Furthermore, the number of the limiting components 410 is twice the number of the monitoring devices 201, that is, each monitoring device 201 corresponds to two limiting components 410. A gap is left between the two limiting components 410 corresponding to a single monitoring device 201, and a rotation area 411 is defined between the two limiting components 410, and the corresponding monitoring device 201 rotates vertically in the rotation area 411. It can be understood that the rotation area 411 needs to match the extension direction of the corresponding monitoring device 201. Since the overall shape formed by each monitoring device 201 is a linear divergent shape, the overall area formed by each rotation area 411 is also a linear divergent shape.

[0082] It is worth noting that, since the selected monitoring devices 201 need to be rotated into the range of the guide component 409 and the sorting component 101 is located above the guide component 409 , each rotating area 411 extends to the guide component 409 and the sorting component 101 .

[0083] In some examples, the support edge 404 is provided with a guide groove for placing the monitoring device 201. When the monitoring device 201 is embedded in the guide groove, the position of the monitoring device 201 is ensured to be stable to avoid accidental shaking. Therefore, during the initial loading process of the monitoring device 201, it is necessary to maintain a horizontal state to ensure that the monitoring device 201 is in the guide groove. The height of the support edge 404 corresponds to the height of the top wall of the second cabin 407. Since the horizontal area of ​​the second cabin 407 is larger than the horizontal area of ​​the first cabin 402, the top wall of the second cabin 407 outside the range of the first cabin 402 is also provided with a guide groove, and the support edge 404 is connected to the guide groove of the top wall of the second cabin 407.

[0084] In some examples, the deployment mechanism is used to penetrate the preset monitoring device 201 into the formation. Fig.12 As shown, the deployment mechanism is arranged in the lower space of the second cabin 407, and the deployment mechanism includes a deployment driver and a plurality of pushing components 501. Specifically, the deployment driver is arranged as a motor, and the pushing component 501 is arranged as a friction wheel, and two friction wheels are arranged.

[0085] Furthermore, the outer edges of the two pushing parts 501 are provided with a groove structure, and there is a gap between the two pushing parts 501, and the gap and the groove structure together form a space for accommodating the monitoring device 201. It can be understood that the gap between the two pushing parts 501 is located directly below the guide part 409, and the selected monitoring device 201 falls into the space between the two pushing parts 501 along the small end opening of the guide part 409.

[0086] Wherein, under the action of the deployment driver, the two pushing components 501 rotate in opposite directions, and friction is formed in the process of contacting the monitoring device 201. Under the action of the friction, the monitoring device 201 is pushed to the formation, and the deployment of the monitoring device 201 is completed.

[0087] Based on the above-mentioned marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device, various embodiments of the multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment method of the present invention are proposed below.

[0088] like Fig.13 As shown, Fig.13 It is a flow chart of a multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment method can be applied to the above-mentioned marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device. The multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment method includes but is not limited to step s110, step s120, step s130, step s140 and step s150.

[0089] Step s110, loading each monitoring device 201 in the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring device deployment device, and releasing the marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring device deployment device from the vessel's gravity until the device sinks to the first point on the seabed.

[0090] In some examples, the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device needs to load several monitoring devices 201, and this process is completed before the device enters the water. Each monitoring device 201 is connected to each connection joint 203 through an electromagnet 204 and placed on the top of the support edge 404 in a horizontal state.

[0091] Furthermore, the device loaded with the monitoring equipment 201 is released from the vessel by gravity until the device sinks to a first point on the seabed, and the monitoring equipment 201 preset for the first point needs to penetrate the formation at this position.

[0092] Step s120 , raising the height of the connecting assembly and each monitoring device 201 , so that each monitoring device 201 contacts the sorting component 101 .

[0093] In some examples, the lifting mechanism raises the height of the movable connection component 202, so that the monitoring device 201 whose mounting end 2011 is connected to the movable connection component 202 is also raised. As the height of each monitoring device 201 is raised, the free end 2012 of the monitoring device 201 gradually leaves the range of the supporting edge 404, and falls to an inclined state in contact with the sorting component 101 through rotation, which lays a foundation for the sorting process of the monitoring device 201.

[0094] Step s130 , the sorting component 101 rotates until the sorting slot 102 corresponds to the preset monitoring device 201 , so that the preset monitoring device 201 falls into the sorting slot 102 .

[0095] In some examples, the sorting component 101 rotates to make the sorting slot 102 face the preset monitoring device 201. The preset monitoring device 201 rotates by itself under the action of gravity, thereby falling into the sorting slot 102 and converting to a vertical state, completing the sorting process of the monitoring device 201.

[0096] Step s140, the preset monitoring device 201 is separated from the connection assembly in the sorting tank 102 and reaches the deployment mechanism, and the deployment mechanism penetrates the preset monitoring device 201 into the formation.

[0097] In some examples, the electromagnet 204 corresponding to the preset monitoring device 201 is powered off, causing the preset monitoring device 201 to detach from the current connection joint 203. The monitoring device 201 then falls onto the guide component 409 and reaches the deployment mechanism along the guide component 409. The deployment mechanism penetrates the preset monitoring device 201 at the first point into the formation.

[0098] Step s150, the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device moves underwater to other points, the sorting component 101 again sorts out the monitoring equipment 201 by rotating, and the deployment mechanism penetrates the sorted monitoring equipment 201 into the formation, and this process is repeated until all the monitoring equipment 201 penetrate into the formation.

[0099] In some examples, a marine stratum multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device moves underwater from a first point to a second point. This process does not require the recovery of the device. The monitoring equipment 201 for the second point is sorted out by the rotation of the sorting component 101, and the sorted monitoring equipment 201 is penetrated into the formation through the deployment mechanism. The subsequent deployment of multiple points and multiple monitoring equipment 201 also follows this process, and there is no need to recover the device.

[0100] Furthermore, after all monitoring equipment 201 are penetrated into the corresponding points of the formation, the marine formation multi-parameter monitoring equipment deployment device is recovered to improve the deployment efficiency of multiple points and multiple monitoring equipment 201.

For example, depending on the function / operation involved, the two boxes shown in succession can actually be executed substantially simultaneously or the boxes can sometimes be executed in reverse order.
