Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of in-hole acoustic wave testing equipment for geophysical exploration, and in particular to 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 acoustic dry hole 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 type of 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 method sometimes causes the air bag to be squeezed due to excessive water injection, and sometimes causes poor coupling effect due to insufficient water injection. The overall operation is cumbersome and complicated, 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 probe is only applicable to upper inclined holes. If the gravity-type dry hole sonic 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 probe unable to move and difficult to pull out from the hole. The gravity-type dry hole sonic probe is not applicable to lower inclined holes or plumb holes. Summary of the invention

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] (1) The rear of the sonic probe assembly is connected to a water reservoir, and a water storage space is formed between the inflatable airbag of the water reservoir and the outer shell of the water reservoir. In actual use, the water reservoir follows the sonic probe assembly into the hole. When the sonic probe assembly reaches the specified position, it is inflated through the inflation port, and the inflatable airbag expands, squeezing the water in the water storage space into the water storage bag through the water inlet, so that the water storage bag is in full contact with the hole wall, and the vibration pickup is coupled with the hole wall through the water, so that the sonic wave test can be carried out.

The present invention can perform sonic wave testing at a drilling angle of any angle, and there is no need to set up an additional water pump and water source. It only needs to be inflated and deflated, which is convenient and fast.

[0026] The water storage container with a rigid shell is arranged at the rear of the sonic wave probe assembly, which can facilitate the sonic wave probe assembly to be placed in the upper inclined hole. The two can be detachably connected, which is convenient for carrying and transportation.

[0027] (2) For deep boreholes, the weak signal output by the vibration pickup tends to become even weaker when transmitted to the receiving device through a long signal line. The signal amplifier can be used to denoise, filter and amplify the output signal of the vibration pickup component, and convert it into a differential signal for external output, ensuring that the received signal is not distorted during long-distance transmission, improving the quality and recognizability of the signal, and thus more accurately obtaining the acoustic wave information in the hole, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the survey data, and facilitating the precise analysis of geological structure and other information in engineering geological surveys.

[0028] (3) A water inlet is provided on the second plug of the water storage container so that the water in the water storage space can be released when not in use, which is convenient for transportation and carrying.

[0029] (4) A first connecting hole and a second connecting hole are formed on the connector and the second plug, which are concentric, collinear and interconnected, and are connected to the water outlet through the water inlet and outlet pipes, thereby forming a perfect water flow path, so that the water between the water storage bag and the water reservoir can be exchanged stably and efficiently, which facilitates the precise control of the water volume in the water storage bag, ensures the coupling effect between the sonic probe and the hole wall under different drilling conditions, and ensures that the water volume is appropriate to prevent the water storage bag from bursting.

[0030] (5) The conical guide facilitates the extraction of the inflatable dry hole sonic test probe from the test hole.

[0031] (6) The inner surface of the water storage bag is designed to be rough, which can increase the friction between the water storage bag and the plug assembly, ensuring that the water storage bag is not easy to fall off. The outer surface of the water storage bag is designed to be smooth and flat, which is conducive to the coupling of the columnar water storage bag with the hole wall and improves the signal quality.

[0052] 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:

[0054] refer to Figures 1 to 16 The inflatable dry hole sonic wave test probe (hereinafter referred to as the test probe) of the present invention comprises a sonic wave probe assembly 1 and a water reservoir 2 which are sequentially arranged and detachably connected along the front-back direction, wherein the sonic wave probe assembly 1 comprises a vibration pickup assembly 11, a first plug 121 and a second plug 122 respectively arranged at both 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 respectively sealed and fixed to the first plug 121 and the second plug 122, explosion-proof capsules 125 are sleeved on the outer sides 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 firstly 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 on. 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 the water, and then the acoustic wave test can be performed on the point.

[0055] 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.

[0056] In this embodiment, the water reservoir 2 includes a water reservoir housing 21, a hollow shaft 25 inserted and fixed in the water reservoir housing 21, and an inflatable airbag 29 sleeved on the outside of the hollow shaft 25. The signal line 15 of the vibration pickup assembly 11 extends backward through the hollow shaft 25 to connect with external equipment, and the two ends of the inflatable airbag 29 are respectively sealed and fixed to the two ends of the water reservoir housing 21, and a water storage space 210 is formed between the water reservoir housing 21, and water is stored in the water storage space 210. The front and rear ends of the water reservoir housing 21 are respectively provided with a water inlet 22 connected to the water storage space 210 and an air inlet 23 connected to the inflatable airbag 29. The water inlet 22 is sealed and connected to the water storage bag 13.

[0057] The rear part of the acoustic wave probe assembly 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 test probe goes deep into the hole. When the test probe 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. The water storage bag 13 is explosion-proof protected by the explosion-proof capsule 125, 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 test probe can perform sonic testing on boreholes at any angle, and there is no need to set up an additional water pump or water source. It only needs to be inflated and deflated, which is convenient and fast for testing.

[0058] The water storage container with a rigid shell is arranged at the rear of the sonic wave probe assembly, which can facilitate the sonic wave probe assembly to be placed in the upper inclined hole. The two can be detachably connected, which is convenient for carrying and transportation.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 2 , 3 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.

[0060] Adjacent vibration pickups are connected by a porous connector, which includes 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 between the second vibration pickup 112 and the third vibration pickup 113. Specifically, the first porous connector 114 and the second porous connector 115 are both cylindrical thin-walled cavity tube structures, and a plurality of gaps are opened on the side walls thereof. The gaps can prevent the second vibration pickup 112 and the third vibration pickup 113 from receiving interference signals that are directly transmitted along the porous connector, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0061] In this embodiment, if Fig.16As shown, the front and rear ends of the vibration pickup are respectively provided with an extension section, and the front and rear ends of the porous connector are respectively inserted into the corresponding extension section 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 leads to a longer distance between adjacent vibration pickups and 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.

[0062] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 , 7 As shown, the rear part of the first plug 121 is provided with a notch adapted to the extension section of the first vibration pickup 111, and the notch is sleeved on the extension section of the front end of the first vibration pickup 111 and fixedly connected by screws. An air outlet 1211 is provided in the middle of the first plug 121, which is through in the front-to-back direction. The air outlet 1211 is connected to the water storage bag 13. 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, first arrange the front end of the sonic probe assembly 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.

[0063] In this embodiment, 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 periphery of the small diameter section is flush with the outer periphery of the first vibration pickup 111, and the extension section of the first vibration pickup 111 is inserted into the inner ring of the small diameter section and fixedly connected with screws.

[0064] 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.

[0065] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 , 3 As shown in , 4, a signal amplifier 10 is arranged between the sound wave probe assembly 1 and the water tank 2. The signal amplifier 10 includes a columnar amplifier housing 101 and an amplifier element 102 arranged in the amplifier housing 101. The sound wave probe assembly 1 and the water tank 2 are fixed at both ends of the amplifier housing 101. The signal line 15 includes a vibration pickup signal line 151 and an amplifier signal line 152. The vibration pickup signal line 151 is connected to the signal amplifier 10, and the amplifier signal line 152 extends backward to connect to an external receiving device.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the front end of the amplifier housing 101 is provided with a mounting hole adapted to the extended section of the third vibration pickup 113, the outer diameter of the amplifier housing 101 is adapted to the outer diameter of the vibration pickup, the rear end of the third vibration pickup 113 penetrates into and is fixedly connected to the front end of the amplifier housing 101 by screws, and the vibration pickup signal line 151 is passed through the mounting hole into the amplifier housing 101 and is connected to the amplifier element 102 inside it.

[0067] The inner diameter of the second plug 122 is adapted to the outer diameter of the amplifier housing 101, and the outer diameter of the second plug 122 is adapted to the middle diameter section of the first plug 121. The second plug 122 is sleeved and removably fixed to the front of the amplifier housing 101 by screws, and is sealed with the amplifier housing 101. A protective ring 123 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the rear portion of the second plug 122 to form a variable diameter structure. The rear end of the water storage bag 13 is sleeved on the second plug 122 and sealed and fixed by an 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.

[0068] Preferably, in the present 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] In this embodiment, the amplifier signal line 152 is a twisted pair, such as Fig.14 , 15 As shown, the amplifier element 102 includes a preamplifier 1021, a filter 1022, a differential amplifier 1023 and a matching circuit 1024. In this way, the signal of the ceramic tube receiving the oscillator can be de-noised and amplified, and then converted into a balanced differential signal, and the received weak signal can be transmitted over a longer distance without distortion using a twisted pair cable, thereby ensuring the quality of deep hole detection.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the input and output ends of the preamplifier 1021, the filter 1022, and the differential amplifier 1023 are connected in series in sequence, the input end of the preamplifier 1021 is connected to the output end of the pickup signal line 151, and the matching circuit 1024 is set at the output end of the differential amplifier 1023 and connected to the amplifier signal line 152. In this way, the preamplifier 1021 is used to receive the weak signal from the ceramic tube of the pickup assembly 11, and amplify it. The amplified signal enters the filter 1022 to remove the noise component in the signal and improve the signal quality. The filtered signal enters the differential amplifier 1023 to complete the differential signal conversion. The converted balanced differential signal adjusts the output impedance of the signal through the matching circuit 1024 to match it with the characteristic impedance of the twisted pair, so that the signal can be transmitted in the twisted pair with minimal loss and distortion.

[0072] 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.

[0073] In this embodiment, if Fig.15 As shown, the filter 1022 includes a high-pass filter 1025, a band-pass filter 1026 and a low-pass filter 1027 which are connected in series in sequence. The amplified signal input from the preamplifier 1021 first enters the high-pass filter 1025 to filter out low-frequency interference, and then passes through the band-pass filter 1026 to further filter out the target sound wave frequency band. Finally, the low-pass filter 1027 is used to remove the residual high-frequency noise, thereby maximizing the signal quality and realizing fine filtering processing.

[0085] How to use this application:

[0086] Step 1: Connect the signal line 15 to the external instrument.

[0088] Step 3: Insert the rear end of the connector 4 into the front end of the connecting tube 3 and fasten it with the fixing screws to complete the assembly of the test probe.

[0089] Step 4: Before placing the test probe, make the front end of the acoustic wave probe assembly 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 is also exhausted.

[0093] 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.

[0094] 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.

[0095] Step 10: Remove the screws connecting the water reservoir 2 and the sonic probe assembly 1, separate the water reservoir 2 and the sonic probe assembly, and wind up the line to finish the work.

[0096] In summary, the test probe of the present invention can be applied to the acoustic wave testing of boreholes without water in all directions.
