Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of in-hole acoustic wave testing equipment for geophysical exploration, and in particular to a water storage container for an inflatable dry hole acoustic wave testing probe. Background Art
[0002] At present, drilling exploration is often used in engineering geological surveys, and the workload of in-hole acoustic wave testing is very large. The following difficulties will be encountered during acoustic wave testing: When conducting acoustic wave testing in a borehole, the vibrator is fully coupled with the hole wall with water. If it encounters an upward inclined hole or a horizontal hole, it is difficult to preserve water in the hole. The rock mass of some downward inclined holes and plumb holes is broken, and there is often no water in the hole, which makes it impossible to complete the in-hole acoustic wave testing work.
[0003] The dry hole acoustic wave test probes currently on the market generally have three signal lines, one connected to the ultrasonic transmitting probe, and the other two connected to two ultrasonic receiving probes, all for "upward inclined holes". The characteristics of this probe are: during the test, a capsule is installed under the probe, and the bottom of the probe is sealed by inflating the capsule, and then water is pumped into the hole on the upper part of the capsule through the upper water pipe. When the water submerges the top probe, the three probes are fully coupled with the hole wall, and the test can be carried out; after the test is completed, the air in the capsule is released, the capsule is detached from the hole wall, and the water flows down naturally by gravity, and then the probe can be moved to the next test point. Since the hole needs to be frequently filled and drained, the staff under the hole are often drenched, especially in winter. The above test methods sometimes cause the airbag to be squeezed due to excessive water injection, and sometimes cause poor coupling effect due to insufficient water injection. The overall operation is cumbersome and complex, and the promotion effect is not good.
[0004] In the prior art, for example, a Chinese invention patent application with application announcement number CN114994747A discloses “a gravity-type dry-hole acoustic wave probe”, which includes a vibrator, a bladder, an inlet and outlet pipe, a plug, a porous connector and a vibrator signal line; the acoustic wave probe is sequentially provided with a first vibrator, a second vibrator and a third vibrator, the first vibrator transmits a signal, and the other two receive a signal, and the vibrators are connected by screws through a porous connector; the first plug and the third vibrator are respectively connected by screws at the free ends of the first vibrator and the third vibrator Two plugs, a vibration pickup, a porous connector and a bag are provided on the outside of the plug, and two ends of the bag are respectively closed and connected to the side outer peripheral walls of the two plugs, and the inlet and outlet pipes and the vibration pickup signal line pass through the first plug into the inner cavity of the bag, and water is injected and discharged into the bag through the inlet and outlet pipes. The water injection makes the bag contact with the hole wall, and the vibration pickup realizes the upward inclined dry hole acoustic wave test through water coupling. After the test, the water in the bag is discharged through the inlet and outlet pipes by gravity to avoid the tester from being drenched. In addition, the bag is in contact with the hole wall to ensure the coupling effect and the survey accuracy.
[0005] However, the gravity-type dry hole sonic wave probe is only applicable to upper inclined holes. If the probe is used to test lower inclined holes or plumb holes, the water in the bag is difficult to drain or extract, which will make the sonic wave probe unable to move and difficult to pull out from the hole. The gravity-type dry hole sonic wave probe is not applicable to lower inclined holes or plumb holes and has low practicality. Summary of the invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a water reservoir for an inflatable dry hole acoustic wave test probe. The water storage space and the water storage bag of the water reservoir are interconnected. The water stored in the water reservoir can be squeezed into the water storage bag by inflating the inflatable airbag to realize the coupling of the vibration pickup and the hole wall. After the test is completed, the air in the inflatable airbag is released and the water flows back to the water storage space. It can be suitable for drilling test work of different depths in all directions.

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application: Specific embodiment 1:
[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 20 The water storage device for an inflatable dry hole acoustic wave test probe (hereinafter referred to as the water storage device) of the present invention is applied to Figure 8 , 9 The acoustic wave test probe 1 shown in the figure is assembled into Fig.17 , 18 The air-filled dry hole sonic test probe shown.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, if Figure 8 , 9 As shown in Figure 10, the acoustic wave test probe 1 includes a vibration pickup assembly 11, a first plug 121 and a second plug 122 respectively arranged at the two ends of the vibration pickup assembly 11, a high-strength fiber 116 connecting adjacent vibration pickups, and a water storage bag 13 sleeved on the outside of the vibration pickup assembly 11, and the two ends of the water storage bag 13 are sealed and fixed to the first plug 121 and the second plug 122 respectively, and explosion-proof capsules 125 are sleeved on the outside of the two ends of the water storage bag 13, and the first plug 121 is provided with an air outlet 1211 and a lifting eye screw 124. In this way, a closed space is formed in the water storage bag 13. In actual use, water is first filled into the water storage bag 13 to exhaust the internal air, and the test probe can be inserted into the test borehole after the lifting eye screw 124 is screwed. Continue to inject water into the water storage bag, the water storage bag 13 expands and fully contacts the hole wall, the vibration pickup assembly 11 is coupled with the hole wall through water, and then the acoustic wave test can be performed on the point.
[0050] Moreover, in this embodiment, the first plug 121, the second plug 122, the vibration pickup assembly 11 and the water storage bag 13 are arranged concentrically, so that the vibration pickup assembly 11 can be located in the middle of the borehole during testing, thereby enhancing the strength of the first arrival signal of the longitudinal wave and improving the signal quality.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, if Fig. 9 , 10 As shown, the vibration pickup assembly 11 includes three vibration pickups, namely a first vibration pickup 111, a second vibration pickup 112 and a third vibration pickup 113 arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction, wherein the third vibration pickup 113 is used to transmit signals, and the first vibration pickup 111 and the second vibration pickup 112 are used to receive signals.
[0052] Adjacent vibration pickups are connected by porous connectors, and the porous connectors include a first porous connector 114 detachably connected between the first vibration pickup 111 and the second vibration pickup 112, and a second porous connector 115 detachably connected between the second vibration pickup 112 and the third vibration pickup 113. Fig. 20 As shown, the first porous connector 114 is similar to the second porous connector 115, both of which are cylindrical thin-walled cavity tube structures with multiple gaps on their side walls. The gaps can prevent the second vibrator 112 and the third vibrator 113 from receiving interference signals that propagate directly along the porous connector, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
[0053] In this embodiment, if Fig.10 , 19 As shown, an extension section 153 is respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the vibration pickup, and the front and rear ends of the porous connector are respectively inserted into the corresponding extension section 153 of the vibration pickup and fixedly connected by screws. In this embodiment, the first porous connector 114 and the second porous connector 115 are both nylon connecting parts. The wave velocity of nylon material is relatively lower than that of rigid material. In order to prevent the water storage bag 13 from breaking the porous connector between adjacent vibration pickups when expanding, high-strength fibers 116 are also connected between adjacent vibration pickups. Specifically, three high-strength fibers 116 are arranged in an axial annular array between adjacent vibration pickups to increase the overall service life of the sound wave probe. At the same time, when the water storage bag 13 is filled with water and expands, the nylon porous connector is easily stretched, which in turn causes the distance between adjacent vibration pickups to become longer, resulting in a long propagation time of sound waves. Therefore, the use of high-strength fibers 116 can also prevent the distance between adjacent vibration pickups from changing, resulting in inaccurate calculated wave velocity.
[0054] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 , 10 As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the rear portion of the first plug 121 is provided with a notch adapted to the extension section 153 of the first vibration pickup 111, and the notch is sleeved on the extension section 153 at the front end of the first vibration pickup 111 and fixedly connected by screws. An air outlet 1211 is provided in the middle portion of the first plug 121, which passes through in the front-to-back direction. The air outlet 1211 is connected to the water storage bag 13, and the front end of the air outlet 1211 is threadedly connected with a lifting eye screw 124, and the lifting eye screw 124 and the air outlet 1211 are sealed by a sealing gasket. In this way, when actually using it, firstly arrange the front end of the acoustic wave test probe 1 upward, unscrew the lifting eye screw 124, and at the same time, fill water into the water storage bag 13. When water overflows from the upper end of the first plug 121, it indicates that the air inside the water storage bag 13 has been emptied.
[0055] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 , 14As shown, the outer contour of the first plug 121 includes a large diameter section, a middle diameter section and a small diameter section from front to back, the front end of the water storage bag 13 is sleeved on the middle diameter section, and an explosion-proof capsule 125 is provided to fix and seal to prevent falling off, and the explosion-proof capsule 125 can prevent the water storage bag 13 from suddenly becoming larger at a fixed position when the water storage bag 13 is filled with water and expanded, causing the water storage bag 13 to burst. The outer diameter of the small diameter section is flush with the outer diameter of the vibration pickup assembly 11, and the extension section 153 at the front end of the first vibration pickup 111 is inserted into the inner ring of the small diameter section and fixedly connected with screws.
[0056] By utilizing the diameter difference between the small diameter section and the middle diameter section of the first plug 121, the water storage bag 13 and the vibration pickup assembly 11 can be arranged at intervals, so as to avoid the screws used for fixing each vibration pickup and the porous connector, the vibration pickup assembly and the first plug and the second plug from directly contacting the water storage bag 13, which is beneficial to protecting the water storage bag 13. The outer periphery of the large diameter section is flush with the outer periphery of the explosion-proof capsule 125, and a tapered structure is provided at the front of the large diameter section to facilitate entry and exit of the test borehole.
[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the water reservoir 2 includes a water reservoir shell 21, which is used to be fixedly installed on the rear end of the ultrasonic test probe 1. An inflatable airbag 29 is arranged in the water reservoir shell 21, and a water storage space 210 is formed between the inflatable airbag 29 and the water reservoir shell 21. The water reservoir shell 21 is provided with an inflation port 23 which is sealed and connected to the inflatable airbag 29, and a water port 22 which is sealed and connected to the water storage space 210. The water port 22 is used to be sealed and connected to the water storage bag 13 of the ultrasonic test probe 1.
[0058] The rear part of the acoustic wave test probe 1 is connected to the water reservoir 2, and a water storage space 210 is formed between the inflatable airbag 29 of the water reservoir 2 and the water reservoir shell 21. In actual use, the acoustic wave test probe 1 goes deep into the hole. When the acoustic wave test probe 1 reaches the specified position, it is inflated through the inflation port 23, the inflatable airbag 29 expands, and the water in the water storage space 210 is squeezed and enters the water storage bag 13 through the water outlet 22, so that the water storage bag 13 is in full contact with the hole wall, and the vibration pickup is coupled with the hole wall through water, so that the acoustic wave test can be carried out. After the data collection is completed, the inflation port 23 is deflated, and the inflatable airbag 29 retracts, so that the water in the water storage bag 13 flows back to the water storage space 210, the water storage bag 13 retracts and separates from the hole wall, and the acoustic wave probe can be moved to the next test point. The sonic wave test probe 1 can perform sonic wave testing on boreholes at any angle, and does not require the installation of an additional water pump or water source. It only needs to be inflated and deflated, which is convenient and fast, easy to test, and improves practicality.
[0059] At the same time, in this embodiment, a water tank 2 with a rigid shell is arranged at the rear of the acoustic wave test probe 1, which can facilitate the placement of the acoustic wave test probe 1 into the upper inclined hole. The acoustic wave test probe 1 and the water tank 2 are detachably connected to facilitate carrying and transportation.
[0060] Preferably, in this embodiment, a hollow shaft is also provided inside the water tank shell, and the hollow shaft is used for passing the signal line of the acoustic wave test probe. The two ends of the inflatable airbag are respectively sealed and fixed to the two ends of the water tank shell, and an enclosed inflatable space is formed between the inflatable airbag and the hollow shaft.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, if Fig.17 , 18 As shown, a signal amplifier 10 is arranged between the acoustic wave test probe 1 and the water reservoir 2. The signal amplifier 10 includes a columnar amplifier housing 101 and an amplifier element 102 arranged in the amplifier housing 101. The acoustic wave test probe 1 and the water reservoir 2 are respectively fixed at two ends of the amplifier housing 101, and a detachable connection between the acoustic wave test probe 1 and the water reservoir 2 is achieved through the signal amplifier 10.
[0062] In this embodiment, the signal line 15 of the acoustic wave test probe 1 includes a pickup signal line 151 and an amplifier signal line 152, wherein the pickup signal line 151 connects the output end of the pickup assembly 11 and the input end of the amplifier element 102, and the amplifier signal line 152 connects the output end of the amplifier element 102 and extends backward through the hollow shaft 25 to connect to an external receiving device.
[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, the front end of the amplifier housing 101 is provided with a mounting hole 1011 adapted to the extension section 153 of the third vibration pickup 113, the outer diameter of the amplifier housing 101 is adapted to the outer diameter of the vibration pickup assembly 11, and the position of the amplifier housing 101 corresponding to the mounting hole 1011 is provided with a screw hole 1012, the rear end of the third vibration pickup 113 is inserted deep into and fixedly connected to the front end of the amplifier housing 101 by screws screwed in the screw hole 1012, and the vibration pickup signal line 151 is inserted into the amplifier housing 101 through the mounting hole 1011 and connected to the amplifier element 102 inside it. In this way, the vibration pickup assembly 11 and the signal amplifier 10 are fixedly arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction.
[0064] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 , 9As shown in Figures 11, the inner diameter of the second plug 122 is matched with the outer diameter of the amplifier housing 101, and the outer diameter of the second plug 122 is matched with the middle diameter section of the first plug 121. Screw holes 1012 are provided on the circumference of the amplifier housing 101 at positions corresponding to the second plug 122. The second plug 122 is mounted on and removably fixed to the front of the amplifier housing 101 by screws screwed into the corresponding screw holes 1012, and is sealed with the amplifier housing 101.
[0065] In this embodiment, a water hole 126 communicating with the water storage bag 13 is opened on the end surface of the second plug 102 along its axial direction, and water is injected into the water storage bag 13 through the water hole 126 to perform a coupling test.
[0066] like Figure 8 , 15 As shown, in this embodiment, a protective ring 123 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the rear portion of the second plug 122, and the outer diameter of the protective ring 123 is adapted to the large diameter section of the first plug 121 to form a variable diameter structure. A cylindrical connector 4 is fixedly provided on the rear portion of the amplifier housing 101, and the inner diameter of the connector 4 is adapted to the outer diameter of the amplifier housing 101, and the outer diameter of the connector 4 is adapted to the outer diameter of the protective ring 123. A connecting hole 41 is provided at a position of the connector 4 corresponding to the water hole 126, and the connecting hole 41 is arranged concentrically with the water hole 126. An inlet and outlet pipe 5 is connected between the connecting hole 41 and the water hole 126, and the rear end of the inlet and outlet pipe 5 is used to connect to the water port of the water storage tank 2.
[0067] The protective ring 123 is sleeved on the rear of the second plug 122 to protect the signal amplifier 10 to a certain extent, preventing the signal amplifier 10 from being damaged by collision or friction during operation in the borehole. The water hole 126 and the connecting hole 41 are connected to the water inlet and outlet pipe 5, ensuring the water communication between the water storage bag 13 and the water storage tank 2, so that the water filling and drainage operations can be carried out smoothly, which is conducive to controlling the water volume and pressure in the water storage bag 13, thereby achieving good coupling between the acoustic wave probe and the hole wall, and improving the operability and functionality of the probe.
[0068] In this embodiment, the rear end of the water storage bag 13 is sleeved on the second plug 122 and sealed and fixed by the explosion-proof capsule 125. At the same time, the outer periphery of the explosion-proof capsule 125 is aligned with the outer periphery of the protective ring 123 to ensure that the water storage bag 13 is an equal-diameter columnar structure.
[0069] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the water storage bag 13 is roughened, which can increase the friction between the water storage bag 13 and the plug assembly, thereby ensuring that the water storage bag 13 is not easy to fall off.
[0070] The outer surface of the water storage bag 13 is smooth and flat, which is conducive to the coupling of the columnar water storage bag 13 with the hole wall, improving the signal quality, and at the same time reducing the friction resistance between the water storage bag 13 and the hole wall when moving in the borehole, facilitating the insertion and removal of the test probe and reducing the risk of the water storage bag being scratched.
[0071] In this embodiment, if Fig.12 , 13 As shown, the amplifier element 102 includes a preamplifier 1021, a filter 1022 and a differential amplifier 1023 connected in series, wherein the preamplifier 1021, the filter 1022 and the differential amplifier 1023 sequentially amplify, filter and convert the signal of the vibration pickup assembly 11 into a differential signal. It can effectively enhance the signal strength, remove noise and convert the signal into a balanced differential signal with strong anti-interference ability, improve the reliability and accuracy of the entire acoustic wave test probe in complex environments, ensure that the received signal is not distorted during long-distance transmission, improve the quality and recognizability of the signal, thereby more accurately obtaining the acoustic wave information in the hole, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the survey data, facilitating the accurate analysis of geological structure and other information in engineering geological survey work, and more suitable for large-scale field and deep well testing and other scenes with high signal quality requirements.
[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the amplifier signal line 152 is a twisted pair, which can effectively suppress common mode noise and reduce signal interference during transmission by utilizing the characteristics of the twisted pair, further ensuring the stability and accuracy of signal transmission, so that the amplified and processed signal can be more reliably transmitted to the receiving device, and even in the case of long-distance transmission or external electromagnetic interference, the risk of signal distortion can be reduced, and the received weak signal can be transmitted over a longer distance, thereby ensuring the quality of deep hole detection and improving the credibility of the test results.
[0073] Preferably, in this embodiment, a matching circuit 1024 is further provided at the output end of the differential amplifier 1023, and the matching circuit 1024 receives the balanced differential signal of the differential amplifier and adjusts the output impedance of the signal so that the output impedance matches the characteristic impedance of the twisted pair. This design can minimize the reflection phenomenon of the signal during transmission, avoid the change of signal amplitude and phase caused by impedance mismatch, thereby ensuring that the signal is transmitted in the twisted pair with minimum loss and distortion, ensuring the quality of long-distance signal transmission, enabling the acoustic wave test probe to adapt to the test requirements of deeper drilling, and improving the applicability and versatility of the probe in different engineering environments.
[0074] In this way, due to the anti-interference of the differential signal and the good transmission conditions after matching, when the signal is transmitted on the twisted pair, the common mode noise is suppressed and the distortion is small, so that it can be transmitted without distortion over a longer distance, ensuring that the signal can still be effectively received and processed after long-distance transmission.
[0075] In this embodiment, the filter 1022 includes a high-pass filter 1025, a band-pass filter 1026 and a low-pass filter 1027. The high-pass filter 1025 can filter out low-frequency interference, the band-pass filter 1026 can accurately filter out a specific frequency band related to the sound wave signal, and the low-pass filter 1027 removes high-frequency noise, thereby effectively purifying the signal collected by the vibration pickup assembly 11, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal, providing a better signal source for subsequent signal amplification and analysis, helping to more accurately obtain the sound wave information in the borehole, and improving the accuracy of engineering geological surveys.
[0076] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the input and output of the high-pass filter 1025, the band-pass filter 1026 and the low-pass filter 1027 are sequentially connected in series, and the input of the high-pass filter 1025 is connected to the output of the preamplifier 1021, and the output of the low-pass filter 1027 is connected to the input of the differential amplifier 1023. The amplified signal input from the preamplifier 1021 first enters the high-pass filter 1025 to filter out low-frequency interference, and then further screens out the target sound wave frequency band through the band-pass filter 1026, and finally removes the residual high-frequency noise with the low-pass filter 1027, forming a complete and orderly signal filtering chain. The signal quality is maximized and fine filtering is achieved. The performance and stability of the entire signal processing system are improved. Of course, in other embodiments, according to actual use requirements, the filter 1022 in which the high-pass filter 1025, the band-pass filter 1026 and the low-pass filter 1027 are connected in parallel can also be selected.

[0089] How to use this application:
[0090] Step 1: Connect the signal line 15 to the external instrument.
[0091] Step 2: Use quick-connect to connect the rubber hose connected to the first capillary steel tube 26 to the water inlet and outlet rubber hoses on the front side of the water reservoir 2 to achieve communication between the water reservoir 2 and the water storage bag 13.
[0092] Step 3: Insert the rear end of the connector 4 into the front end of the connecting pipe 3 and fasten it with a fixing screw, assembling the acoustic wave test probe 1 and the water reservoir 2 to form an inflatable dry hole acoustic wave test probe.
[0093] Step 4: Before placing the inflatable dry hole sonic wave test probe, make the front end of the sonic wave test probe 1 higher than the water reservoir 2, remove the eye screw 124, and inject water into the water reservoir 2 through the water inlet pipe 6. When water flows out from the front end of the first plug 121, the water reservoir 2 and the water storage bag 13 are filled with water, and the air between the vibration pickup assembly 11 and the water storage bag 13 has been completely discharged. At this time, the water injection is stopped, the water inlet 24 is blocked, and the eye screw 124 is screwed on to complete the sealing to ensure that the water in the test probe does not flow out.
[0094] Step 5: Use a quick connector to connect the high-pressure air pipe connected to the air pump and the air inlet and outlet pipes 7 on the right side of the water storage tank 2.
[0095] Step 6: Send the inflatable dry hole sonic test probe to the test location.

[0097] Step 8: After the test is completed, the air is discharged, and the water in the water storage bag 13 flows back to the water reservoir 2. The water storage bag 13 is separated from the hole wall, and the inflatable dry hole acoustic wave test probe can be moved to the next test point. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until the test is completed.
[0098] Step 9: After the test is completed, pull out the test probe, open the eye screw 124 and the water inlet 24, and let all the internal water flow out freely.
[0099] Step 10: Remove the screws connecting the water reservoir 2 and the ultrasonic test probe 1, separate the water reservoir 2 and the ultrasonic test probe, and wind up the line to finish the work.
[0100] In summary, by installing a water reservoir 2 at the rear end of the sonic wave test probe 1, the overall inflatable dry hole sonic wave test probe can be used for sonic wave testing of boreholes without water in all directions. No water source is required on site, only an air pump is needed, and the scope of application is wide. The water reservoir 2 and the sonic wave test probe 1 can be freely disassembled and assembled simply, which is convenient for transportation and practical. The signal amplifier 10 can ensure that the weak signal of the vibration pickup assembly 11 is transmitted to a longer distance without distortion, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of deep hole testing.
