DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 FIG1 shows an overall cross-sectional diagram of a cooling-while-drilling device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 A cooling-while-drilling device includes a cooling frame 34 disposed within the drill bit. An input shaft 7 is rotatably mounted within the cooling frame 34. One end of the input shaft 7 passes through the cooling frame 34 and is fixedly connected to the turbine 3. The other end of the input shaft 7 is connected to the compression piston 13 via a conversion mechanism. The compression piston 13 is slidably mounted within a compression piston frame 35 within the cooling frame 34. The cooling frame 34 is filled with high-pressure gas, such as helium, as the working fluid. This does not require any fuel consumption or chemical reaction, does not affect the normal operation of power devices, and is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly.
[0045] The end of the compression piston 13 away from the turbine 3 is provided with a balance spring 14 (refer to Figure 6), heat dissipation mesh ring 16 and cold end plate 28; one end of the balance spring 14 is fixedly connected to the connection seat set in the refrigeration frame 34, and the other end is connected to the expansion piston 26; the expansion piston 26 is installed inside the heat dissipation mesh ring 16, and the other end of the heat dissipation mesh ring 16 is connected to the cold end plate 28; the rotation of the turbine 3 drives the compression piston 13 to reciprocate through the conversion mechanism, and the expansion piston 26 is pushed by the gas and pulled by the balance spring 14 to perform a reciprocating motion with a phase difference with the compression piston 13. Since the expansion effect in the refrigeration chamber 19 is greater than the compression effect, the cold end plate 28 is cooled. The present invention adopts mechanical transmission cooling, has low sensitivity to ambient temperature, and can operate stably within a wide temperature range.
[0046] Specifically, the cooling device also includes a blade 21, which is slidably mounted on the input shaft 7 and is located between the turbine 3 and the refrigeration frame 34. The blade 21 slides and limits with the input shaft 7; the blade 21 rotates synchronously with the input shaft 7. The blade 21 is used to increase the area of mud impact, thereby increasing the impact force and increasing the rotational speed. Specifically, the mud flows into the guide hole 1, passes through the turbine 3 and the blade 21, and flows out of the outlet hole 5. When the blade 21 approaches the filter guide head 2, the contact area between the blade 21 and the mud increases, and the force on the blade 21 increases, thereby increasing the rotational speed of the input shaft 7. When the blade 21 approaches the refrigeration frame 34, the contact area between the blade 21 and the mud decreases, and the force on the blade 21 decreases, thereby reducing the rotational speed of the input shaft 7.
[0047] refer to Figure 2 The input shaft 7 is provided with a push rod return spring 22, a blade adjustment push rod 4 and a memory alloy 24 (reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), a conical surface 41 is provided on the outside of the blade adjustment push rod 4, which engages with the conical inclined surface at the root of the blade 21; a blade return spring 23 is provided inside the blade 21, and the blade return spring 23 contacts the outer surface of the input shaft 7 to generate a preload. Specifically, a rod-shaped memory alloy 24 is placed in the input shaft 7 at the position of the heat insulation layer 6. The power supply and heating can increase its length by 10%, thereby pushing the blade adjustment push rod 4 to overcome the preload force of the push rod return spring 22 and move to the left (by Figure 1 For reference), the conical surface 41 of the blade adjustment push rod 4 is wedged with the conical inclined surface at the root of the blade 21, overcoming the pre-compression force of the blade return spring 23, pushing the blade 21 along the blade 21 toward the turbine 3; thereby increasing the area of the blade 21 mud impact (reference Figure 2Mud flows into the guide hole 1, passes through the turbine 3 and blades 21, and flows out of the outlet hole 5. When blades 21 approach the filter guide head 2, the contact area between blades 21 and the mud increases, thereby increasing the force on blades 21 and increasing the speed of input shaft 7. When power is turned off, the memory alloy 24 cools down and its length shortens. Under the action of the blade return spring 23 and the push rod return spring 22, the blade adjustment push rod 4 and the turbine 3 blades 21 return to their initial positions. The memory alloy 24 can then adjust the electrical power of the memory alloy 24 according to the required length, thereby adaptively adjusting the extension length of the adjustable-length blades 21, ensuring that the turbine 3 adaptively stabilizes at the required speed under various operating conditions.
[0048] Specifically, the conversion mechanism includes a driving gear 10, a driven gear 11 and a crankshaft connecting rod 12; the driving gear 10 is connected to the input shaft 7, the driven gear 11 is meshed with the driving gear 10 and is connected to the input end of the crankshaft connecting rod 12, and the output end of the crankshaft connecting rod 12 is connected to the compression piston 13. The driven gear 11 and the driving gear 10 are used to convert the transmission from horizontal rotation to vertical rotation, and the crankshaft connecting rod 12 is used to convert the rotation into reciprocating linear movement. The crankshaft connecting rod 12 includes a crankshaft 121 and a connecting rod 122 (refer to Figure 5 ), the connecting rod 122 is rotatably mounted on the eccentric shaft of the crankshaft 121 through a bearing, and the connecting rod 122 is caused to perform reciprocating linear motion through the eccentric shaft.
[0049] In the above embodiment, another optional implementation is that the conversion mechanism also includes an outer magnetic ring 8 and an inner magnetic ring 9. The outer magnetic ring 8 is arranged inside the refrigeration frame 34, and the outer magnetic ring 8 is fixedly connected to the input shaft 7; the inner magnetic ring 9 is rotatably installed inside the outer magnetic ring 8, and the inner magnetic ring 9 is connected to the driving gear 10 through the transmission shaft 33. The outer magnetic ring 8 and the inner magnetic ring 9 are each built with multiple magnets with different magnetic poles. Specifically, the outer magnetic ring 8 rotates to drive the inner magnetic ring 9 to rotate. The outer magnetic ring 8 and the inner magnetic ring 9 are both composed of multiple magnets with different magnetic poles, and the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets are opposite (such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the outer magnetic ring 8 rotates, the magnetic field changes, thereby driving the rotation of the inner magnetic ring 9. The outer magnetic ring 8 and the inner magnetic ring 9 are provided to provide torque overload protection, and drive the driving gear 10 and the driven gear 11 to cooperate to transmit power to the crankshaft connecting rod 12, thereby driving the compression piston 13 to reciprocate. The compression piston 13 periodically generates pressure waves in the refrigeration frame 34. Under the combined action of the gas, the balance spring 14 and the expansion piston 26, the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26 reciprocate with a certain phase difference. The compression effect of the gas in the heating chamber 15 is greater than the expansion effect, releasing heat to form a high temperature. The expansion effect in the refrigeration chamber 19 is greater than the compression effect, thereby absorbing heat from the cold end to form a low temperature, and establishing a stable temperature gradient at the heat dissipation mesh ring 16.
[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, a first secondary coil 17 and a second secondary coil 18 are provided on the heat dissipation mesh ring 16, and a primary coil 27 is provided on the expansion piston 26. The primary coil 27 is directly opposite to the first secondary coil 17 and the second secondary coil 18 (refer to Figure 7 Specifically, the primary coil 27 is mounted on the expansion piston 26. The change in magnetic induction between the primary coil 27 and the second secondary coil 18 can be used to determine the movement frequency of the expansion piston 26, enabling non-contact monitoring. The electromagnetic force generated by the first secondary coil 17 can be used to provide additional damping for the expansion piston 26, adjusting the phase difference between the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26. Specifically, the gas circulation within the cooling device includes the following four stages:
[0051] (1) Isothermal compression stage: The compression piston 13 moves to the right, and the gas is isothermally compressed in the compression chamber (the cavity between the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26). To maintain the isothermal state in the compression chamber, the gas in the chamber transfers heat to the outside through the heat dissipation mesh ring 16;
[0052] (2) Isochoric heat release stage: The expansion piston 26 and the compression piston 13 move to the right simultaneously, and the gas volume remains unchanged until the compression piston 13 reaches the right dead center. The gas completes heat release and the temperature drops from Th to Tc.
[0053] (3) During the isothermal expansion phase, the expansion piston 26 moves to the right, and the gas expands isothermally in the refrigeration chamber 19. To maintain the isothermal state in the expansion chamber, the gas in the chamber absorbs heat from the outside through the thin wall, achieving a cooling effect throughout the entire cycle.
[0054] (4) Isochoric heat absorption stage: The compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26 move to the left at the same time, and the gas volume remains unchanged until the two move synchronously to the left dead center. The gas completes heat absorption, the temperature rises from Tc to Th, and enters the next working cycle.
[0055] The difference in phase angle between the reciprocating motion of compression piston 13 and expansion piston 26 within a single operating cycle is called the phase difference. This means that the compression piston and expansion piston reciprocate at the same frequency but asynchronously, with the difference in the asynchronous phases being the phase difference. The above steps describe the ideal motion state of the two pistons.
[0056] In accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, the primary coil 27 generates an electromagnetic force to provide additional damping c for the expansion piston 26, and adjusts the phase difference between the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26 to be The following relationship exists with c:
[0057] Where c is the damping; ω is the vibration frequency; k is the system stiffness; and m is the mass.
[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, a primary coil 27 is installed on the expansion piston 26 of the closed pneumatic refrigeration unit. The electromagnetic force generated by the first secondary coil 17 can be used to provide additional damping for the expansion piston 26, thereby adjusting the phase difference between the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26 ( Phase can be achieved by changing the system damping c Where c is damping; ω is vibration frequency; k is system stiffness; and m is mass), thereby controlling the cooling capacity. The movement frequency of the expansion piston 26 can be obtained by utilizing the change in magnetic induction between the primary coil 27 and the second secondary coil 18, thereby achieving non-contact movement frequency monitoring (using the primary coil 27 to monitor the magnetic induction intensity of the second secondary coil 18).
[0059] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes an insulating layer 20, which is arranged inside the refrigeration frame 34, and one end of the insulating layer 20 is wrapped around the cold end plate 28, and the cold end plate 28 and the insulating layer 20 form a cooling chamber 29. The cooling chamber 29 is used to form a closed low-temperature insulating space for placing and protecting the downhole instrument while drilling circuit system. In this embodiment, the circuit cooling unit includes the insulating layer 20 and the cooling chamber 29 surrounded by the cold end plate 28 and the insulating layer 20, which are used to form a closed low-temperature insulating space to provide a stable and safe working environment temperature for the downhole instrument while drilling circuit system; the connection between the circuit cooling unit and the cold end plate 28 needs to be filled with a thermally conductive material to fill the gap between the mating surfaces, so as to maximize the cooling capacity of the closed pneumatic refrigeration unit.
[0060] refer to Figure 1 The cooling device also includes a pressure shell 25 and a filter guide head 2. The pressure shell 25 is installed on the outside of the refrigeration frame 34 and the turbine 3; a filter guide head 2 is installed on the end of the refrigeration frame 34 facing the turbine 3, a guide hole 1 is provided on the filter guide head 2, and an outlet hole 5 is provided on the refrigeration frame 34. A vibration damping ring 30 is provided between the refrigeration frame 34 and the pressure shell 25 to reduce the impact on the refrigeration frame 34 and reduce vibration. The mud flows in from the guide hole 1, passes through the turbine 3 and the blades 21, and flows out from the outlet hole 5. The cooling device also includes a heat insulation layer 6. The heat insulation layer 6 is installed inside the pressure shell 25 and is located between the blades 21 and the refrigeration frame 34, and blocks the outlet hole 5 and the guide hole 1 on one side. A sealing rubber ring is installed between the insulation layer 6 and the input shaft 7, and a sealing rubber ring (such as Figure 4 The Y-ring seal shown is used to insulate the mud from heat and to block the mud.
[0061] In the implementation of the present invention, the pressure shell 25 and the filter guide head 2 are installed inside the tool short section 32, and a mounting ring 31 is installed between the pressure shell 25 and the tool short section 32. The mounting ring 31 is used to reduce the adverse effects of downhole vibration on the drilling cooling device; a mounting ring 31 is provided between the pressure shell 25 and the tool short section 32, and the mounting ring 31 is hollow, used for conducting downhole mud and installing and positioning the pressure shell 25. The filter guide head 2 is installed on the pressure shell 25 to form a fixed flow channel. The mud is guided from the mud inlet through the guide hole 1 to the mud-driven turbine 3, which drives the input shaft 7 and the outer magnetic ring 8 to rotate synchronously, and flows to the mud outlet through the outlet hole 5 and the mounting ring 31.
[0062] Working principle: In this embodiment, the turbine 3 of the mud direct-drive turbine power unit is impacted by the mud guided by the guide hole 1 of the filter guide head 2, and the turbine 3 and the blade 21 are converted into the kinetic energy of the fluid into the rotation of the input shaft 7, and the input shaft 7 drives the outer magnetic ring 8 to rotate; the input shaft 7 in the heat insulation layer 6 is installed with a rod-shaped memory alloy 24, and the elongation degree can be controlled by supplying power and heating it, thereby pushing the blade adjustment push rod 4 to overcome the pre-compression force of the push rod return spring 22 and move to the left, and the conical surface 41 of the blade adjustment push rod 4 is aligned with the conical oblique surface 41 at the root of the blade 21. The surfaces are wedged together to overcome the pre-compression force of the push rod return spring 22, and the push rod return spring 22 pushes the blade 21 to move along the blade 21 in the direction away from the outer magnetic ring 8, thereby increasing the area of the blade 21 impacted by the mud. When the power is stopped, the memory alloy 24 cools down and its length is shortened. Under the action of the blade return spring 23 and the push rod return spring 22, the blade adjustment push rod 4, the turbine 3 and the blade 21 return to their initial positions, thereby reducing the area of the blade 21 impacted by the mud, so that it can adaptively stabilize at the required speed under different working conditions.
[0063] The outer magnetic ring 8 and the inner magnetic ring 9 are both composed of multiple magnets with different magnetic poles, and the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets are opposite (such as Figure 8As shown), when the outer magnetic ring 8 rotates, the magnetic field changes, thereby driving the rotation of the inner magnetic ring 9, and the inner magnetic ring 9 drives the transmission shaft 33 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 33 drives the driving gear 10 and then drives the driven gear 11 to rotate (the driven gear 11 and the driving gear 10 are used to convert horizontal rotation into vertical rotation); the driven gear 11 drives the crankshaft 121 to rotate, and the crankshaft 121 drives the connecting rod 122 to rotate along the center of the eccentric shaft of the crankshaft 121 (a bearing is installed between the crankshaft 121 and the connecting rod 122, and the eccentric shaft of the crankshaft 121 is interference fit with the inner ring of the bearing, and one end of the connecting rod 121 is interference fit with the outer ring of the bearing). When the crankshaft 121 rotates, the eccentric shaft performs circular motion with the two ends of the crankshaft 121 as the center. Since one end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the eccentric shaft through a bearing and the other end is connected to the compression piston 13, it can drive the compression piston 13 confined in the cylinder to achieve reciprocating linear motion; the compression piston 13 is performing reciprocating linear motion When the expansion piston 26 is pushed by the gas and pulled by the balance spring 14, the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26 reciprocate with a certain phase difference. At the same time, the primary coil 27 is installed on the expansion piston 26. The movement frequency of the expansion piston 26 can be obtained by using the magnetic induction change of the primary coil 27 and the second secondary coil 18 to achieve non-contact monitoring; the current flowing through the first secondary coil 17 can be adjusted to thereby adjust the electromagnetic force generated by the first secondary coil 17 to provide additional damping for the expansion piston 26, and adjust the phase difference between the compression piston 13 and the expansion piston 26; the expansion effect in the refrigeration chamber 19 is greater than the compression effect, thereby generating a stable temperature gradient at the heat dissipation network ring 16, and finally releasing heat to the outside at the heating chamber 15 to form a high temperature zone, absorbing the temperature of the cold end plate 28 at the refrigeration chamber 19 to form a low temperature zone, thereby keeping the active cooling chamber 29 at a low temperature, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the active cooling chamber 29.
[0064] refer to Figure 9 A method for cooling while drilling, using the above-mentioned device, comprises the following steps:
[0065] The mud drives the turbine 3 to drive the compression piston 13 to reciprocate linearly, wherein the turbine 3 drives the compression piston 13 to reciprocate linearly through the conversion mechanism;
[0066] The compression piston 13 drives the expansion piston 26 to reciprocate with a certain phase difference, wherein the expansion piston 26 is pushed by the gas and the tension of the balance spring 14 to reciprocate;
[0067] The expansion effect in the refrigeration cavity 19 is greater than the compression effect, and the temperature of the cold end plate 28 is absorbed in the refrigeration cavity 19 to achieve cooling.
