Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum well logging, and particularly relates to a setting probe structure. Background Art

[0002] Marine oil and gas resources are not only abundant, but modern science and technology have also enabled them to be developed with great capabilities.

[0003] The setting probe is a crucial component of oil well instruments, ensuring a seal against the wellbore. Existing setting probe structures typically include a hydraulic mechanism and a setting probe. The setting probe is fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic mechanism, which propels the setting probe in a direction perpendicular to the instrument's axial direction.

[0004] Because the setting probe's thrust direction is fixed, meaning it can't adjust its angle, a relatively high thrust can ensure successful setting of the probe to a certain extent if the instrument deflects slightly. However, the success rate is only 50%-60%. Furthermore, uneven force on the setting probe in this situation can damage the rubber setting ring. If the instrument deflects significantly, even with thrust, the probe can't be set successfully. In this case, the only option is to readjust the instrument's position and attempt to set the probe multiple times, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] It can be seen from this that the setting probe mechanism in the relevant technology has problems such as low setting success rate, easy damage to the setting rubber, and impact on the timeliness of the setting operation, which need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] 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.

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 7 The figure shows an embodiment of the present invention, which discloses a setting probe structure, including a setting probe 1, a hydraulic seat 2 and a sliding cylinder sleeve 3. The setting probe 1 is used for setting with the well wall, the hydraulic seat 2 is used for connecting with an external instrument, and the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 is used for controlling the setting probe 1 to perform telescopic movement perpendicular to the axial direction of the instrument.

[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a support seat 4 is provided at one end of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 facing the setting probe 1, and a support column 5 is provided at the center position of the side of the setting probe 1 facing the support seat 4. A universal ball 6 is integrally connected to one end of the support column 5 facing the support seat 4, and the universal ball 6 forms a universal rotation fit with the support seat 4, so that the setting probe 1 can swing and rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the setting probe 1 itself.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the hydraulic seat 2 is provided with a setting channel 7, which communicates with the sliding cylinder sleeve 3. The port of the setting channel 7 is used to connect to an external setting pipeline. Simultaneously, a setting flow channel 8 is provided through the support column 5 and the universal ball 6, connecting the setting probe 1 with the sliding cylinder sleeve 3.

[0060] Since the setting probe 1 can swing and rotate, when the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 drives the setting probe 1 to extend, the setting probe 1 can adjust the probe posture by itself under the probe pushing force and the reaction force of the well wall, thereby realizing the setting seal of the setting probe 1 on the well wall, eliminating the influence of unsuccessful setting caused by lateral deviation of the instrument, effectively improving the setting success rate, reducing the risk of damage to the rubber setting ring 103, and improving the time efficiency of the setting operation.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the support seat 4 includes a support sleeve 401, a support ring 402 and a limit ring 403. The support sleeve 401 is coaxially arranged at one end of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 facing the sealing probe 1. The support ring 402 and the limit ring 403 are coaxially arranged in the support sleeve 401 respectively. The universal ball 6 is located between the support ring 402 and the limit ring 403. The inner diameters of the support ring 402 and the limit ring 403 are respectively smaller than the outer diameter of the universal ball 6 to achieve the limitation of the universal ball 6.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a rotating spherical surface 404 is provided on the support ring 402, and a limiting spherical surface 405 is provided on the limiting ring 403. The spherical surface of the universal ball 6 away from the support column 5 is tightly fitted with the rotating spherical surface 404, and the spherical surface of the universal ball 6 facing the support column 5 is tightly fitted with the limiting spherical surface 405, so as to improve the guiding effect and enable the universal ball 6 to rotate smoothly.

[0063] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, an anti-rotation pin 9 is threadedly connected to the support sleeve 401, and an anti-rotation groove 10 is provided on the universal ball 6. The end of the anti-rotation pin 9 is inserted into the anti-rotation groove 10, and an anti-rotation gap 11 is formed between the outer wall of the anti-rotation pin 9 and the inner wall of the anti-rotation groove 10 to limit the rotation angle of the universal ball 6, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the setting probe 1.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a limiting groove 12 is provided at the center position of the sealing probe 1 facing the support seat 4, the end of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 is located in the limiting groove 12, and a limiting gap 13 is formed between the outer wall of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 12 to limit the swing amplitude of the sealing probe 1.

[0065] Because the swing and rotational ranges of the setting probe 1 are limited, the extended state of the setting probe 1 is guaranteed to be stable, which facilitates the alignment of the setting probe 1 with the wellbore wall. Furthermore, the setting probe 1 can quickly adapt to the wellbore wall, improving operational efficiency. This design also ensures smooth retraction of the setting probe 1, reducing the risk of the setting probe 1 not being fully retracted and preventing the instrument from getting stuck, thereby improving operational stability.

[0066] In this embodiment, two anti-rotation pins 9 and two anti-rotation grooves 10 are provided, and the two anti-rotation pins 9 and two anti-rotation grooves 10 are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the support sleeve 401 to improve the retaining effect. Of course, in other embodiments, three anti-rotation pins 9 and three anti-rotation grooves 10 can also be provided, and the three anti-rotation pins 9 and three anti-rotation grooves 10 can be distributed at 120° intervals. These examples are not listed here.

[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, support ring 402 is threadedly connected to support sleeve 401. A positioning ring 406 is integrally formed on the end of support ring 402 facing the setting probe 1. Support ring 402 presses universal ball 6 against limiting spherical surface 405 of limiting ring 403, with limiting ring 403 and positioning ring 406 engaging and limiting each other. Simultaneously, a limiting snap ring 407 is snap-fitted onto the side of support sleeve 401 facing away from the setting probe 1. This snap ring 407 compresses support ring 402, preventing it from retreating and ensuring a stable connection between support ring 402 and support sleeve 401.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the support sleeve 401 is threadedly connected to the sliding cylinder sleeve 3, and the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 is snap-fitted with a locking ring 408 at one end facing the sealing probe 1, and the locking ring 408 presses the support sleeve 401 to prevent the support sleeve 401 from retreating, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the support sleeve 401 and the sliding cylinder sleeve 3.

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, sealing rings 14 are respectively provided between the universal ball 6 and the support ring 402 , between the support ring 402 and the support sleeve 401 , and between the support sleeve 401 and the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 to ensure the sealing effect between the two components.

[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5As shown, the sealing probe 1 includes a probe base 101, a sealing groove 102 and a rubber sealing ring 103. The probe base 101 is connected to the end of the support column 5 away from the universal ball 6. The sealing groove 102 is arranged on the side of the probe base 101 away from the sliding cylinder sleeve 3. The rubber sealing ring 103 is fixed at the edge position of the probe base 101 away from the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 and is used to press against the well wall. The sealing groove 102 is located on the inner side of the rubber sealing ring 103.

[0071] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the end of the support column 5 away from the universal ball 6 passes through the probe base 101 and is fixedly connected to it. The end of the setting probe 1 away from the universal ball 6 is located in the setting groove 102. A filter screen 104 is installed at the notch of the setting groove 102 to filter the mud. A filter cover 105 is installed at the bottom of the setting groove 102, and the end of the support column 5 away from the universal ball 6 is located inside the filter cover 105 to filter the mud again. The mesh size of the filter cover 105 is smaller than that of the filter screen 104 to ensure effective filtering.

[0072] When the rubber setting ring 103 contacts the wellbore wall, the mud inside the rubber setting ring 103 enters the setting groove 102. At this point, the filter screen 104 performs a primary filtration on the mud. Subsequently, the mud in the setting groove 102 enters the setting channel 7. At this point, the filter cover 105 performs a secondary filtration on the mud. This dual filtration of coarse and fine meshes effectively prevents large mud particles from clogging the mesh and pipelines, thereby improving the operational stability of the setting probe structure.

[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, a retaining ring 106 is engaged at the notch of the setting groove 102, and the retaining ring 106 compresses and secures the filter 104, which means that the filter 104 can be cleaned and replaced separately. Furthermore, a step ring 107 is provided at the bottom of the setting groove 102. The step ring 107 is integrally formed with the probe base 101, and the filter cover 105 is threadedly connected to the step ring 107. This means that the filter cover 105 can be cleaned and replaced separately, reducing maintenance costs.

[0074] In one embodiment, Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, the hydraulic seat 2 includes a mounting base 201, a supporting cylinder sleeve 202 and a receiving column 203. The mounting base 201 is used to connect to an external instrument. The supporting cylinder sleeve 202 is threadedly connected to the mounting base 201. The receiving column 203 is coaxially arranged in the supporting cylinder sleeve 202 and is integrally connected to the mounting base 201. At the same time, the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 is located between the supporting cylinder sleeve 202 and the receiving column 203.

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, an annular hydraulic oil chamber 204 is formed between the receiving column 203 and the supporting cylinder sleeve 202. The sliding cylinder sleeve 3 slides in the hydraulic oil chamber 204. A first oil chamber 205 is formed between one end of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 and the hydraulic oil chamber 204, and a second oil chamber 206 is formed between the other end of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 and the hydraulic oil chamber 204. A hydraulic channel 207 is provided on the mounting base 201. The hydraulic channel 207 is connected to the first oil chamber 205 and the second oil chamber 206 respectively, and the port of the hydraulic channel 207 is used to connect to an external hydraulic pipeline.

[0076] When the setting probe 1 needs to be retracted, the external hydraulic mechanism delivers hydraulic oil through one of the hydraulic channels 207 into the first oil chamber 205. At this point, the sliding cylinder sleeve 3, under the action of the hydraulic oil, drives the setting probe 1 toward the instrument. Simultaneously, the hydraulic oil in the second oil chamber 206 flows back into the external hydraulic mechanism through the other hydraulic channel 207. Similarly, when the setting probe 1 needs to be extended, the external hydraulic mechanism delivers hydraulic oil through one of the hydraulic channels 207 into the second oil chamber 206. At this point, the sliding cylinder sleeve 3, under the action of the hydraulic oil, drives the setting probe 1 away from the instrument. Simultaneously, the hydraulic oil in the first oil chamber 205 flows back into the external hydraulic mechanism through the other hydraulic channel 207.

[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, a rotation-stopping portion 15 is provided between the receiving column 203 and the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 , and the rotation-stopping portion 15 is used to limit the rotation of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 relative to the receiving column 203 to avoid the problem of rotation of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 during the extension and retraction process.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the anti-rotation portion 15 includes an anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151 coaxially fixed within the sliding cylinder sleeve 3. The anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151 slides with the receiving column 203. The inner sidewall of the anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 152, and the length direction of the anti-rotation groove 152 is parallel to the axial direction of the anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151. At the same time, the end of the receiving column 203 is fixedly connected to the anti-rotation ring 153 via a locking nut 154. The anti-rotation block 155 is fixedly connected to the anti-rotation ring 153, and the anti-rotation block 155 slides with the anti-rotation groove 152.

[0079] In this embodiment, there are four stop blocks 155 and four stop grooves 152, and the four stop blocks 155 and four stop grooves 152 are arranged at 90 degrees. Of course, in other embodiments, there can be three or five stop blocks 155 and four stop grooves 152, which are not listed here.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, sealing rings 16 are respectively provided between the support cylinder sleeve 202 and the sliding cylinder sleeve 3, between the sliding cylinder sleeve 3 and the anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151, and between the anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151 and the receiving column 203 to achieve a sealed fit between the two components. In this embodiment, there are five sealing rings 16, which are fixedly embedded in the inner sidewall of the support cylinder sleeve 202, the inner and outer sidewalls of the sliding cylinder sleeve 3, and the inner and outer sidewalls of the anti-rotation cylinder sleeve 151 to ensure a good sealing effect.

[0081] From the above process, it can be seen that the use of this device has the following advantages:

[0082] (1) The sealing probe 1 has universal rotation capability, so that during the sealing process of pressure measurement and sampling operations, the sealing probe 1 can automatically adjust the probe posture according to the probe pushing force and the reaction force of the well wall, so as to achieve the sealing of the probe on the well wall and eliminate the influence of unsuccessful sealing caused by the lateral deviation of the instrument.

[0083] (2) The sealing probe 1 can quickly form abutment with the well wall, which satisfies the requirement of only one sealing operation to achieve smooth sealing to the greatest extent, thereby improving the sealing success rate, reducing the risk of wear of the rubber sealing ring 103, and improving the operation time efficiency.

[0084] (3) The sealing probe 1 has a limiting structure to prevent the sealing probe 1 from excessive rotation and swinging, which can not only ensure the stability of the probe after it is extended, but also ensure that the probe can be smoothly retracted into the instrument.

[0085] (4) The sealing probe 1 has a double filter of coarse and fine mesh, which can better prevent large particles of mud impurities from clogging the filter screen and pipeline, so as to ensure the normal use of the sealing probe structure.
