[0016] In this invention, for ease of description, the description of the relative positions of the components is based on the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 The layout is described using a diagrammatic method, such as front, back, top, bottom, left, right, etc. The positional relationships are determined based on the layout direction of the attached diagram in the instruction manual.
[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0018] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the distributed logging fiber optic retrieval device includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 2, an end cap 3, a connecting sleeve 4, ball bearings 5, a limiting spring 6, and a retrieval device. The inner cylinder 2 has an upward-opening flow channel 7 in its middle. An installation platform 8 is integrally provided at the lower end of the inner cylinder 2. The outer cylinder 1 is fitted onto the outer side of the lower part of the inner cylinder 2. A limiting spring 6 connects the lower side of the outer cylinder 1 to the upper side of the installation platform 8. At least two external vent holes 9 are evenly distributed in the middle of the outer cylinder 1. The external vent holes 9 form a 45-degree angle with the axial direction. Corresponding to the position of each external vent hole 9, the inner cylinder 2... All are provided with an inner vent hole 10, the angle of which is the same as that of the outer vent hole 9. The inner vent hole 10 is connected to the flow channel 7 and the inner vent hole 10 is connected to the outer vent hole 9. The upper outer side of the inner cylinder 2 is provided with a connecting groove, and a connecting sleeve 4 is provided in the connecting groove and fitted on the inner cylinder 2. The outer side of the connecting sleeve 4 is provided with a thread, and the upper side of the connecting sleeve 4 is provided with an end cap 3 that is threaded together with the inner cylinder 2. There is an installation groove with an opening opposite to the end cap 3 and the connecting sleeve 4. A ball bearing 5 is provided in the installation groove. A retrieval device is provided on the outer side of the outer cylinder 1.
[0019] Four external vent holes 9 and four internal vent holes 10 are provided as needed. The connecting sleeve 4 is threaded to the coiled tubing. With the coiled tubing stationary, the inner cylinder 2 and outer cylinder 1 can rotate relative to the coiled tubing under the action of a circumferential torque. The invention is placed at a designated position in the wellbore through the coiled tubing. Drilling fluid enters the flow channel 7 in the inner cylinder 2 and is discharged sequentially from the internal vent holes 10 and external vent holes 9. Since the vent holes are at a 45-degree angle, a torque is generated around the axis, thereby driving the inner cylinder 2 and outer cylinder 1 to rotate, causing the retrieval device to wind the optical fiber. When the weight of the optical fiber is sufficient, it will pull the outer cylinder 1 downward, thereby causing the internal vent holes 10 and external vent holes 9 to be misaligned. The drilling fluid parameters in the coiled tubing will change. According to the actual situation, when the flow rate and pressure reach a certain value, it proves that the optical fiber is wound to a sufficient extent, and the coiled tubing is pulled up, thereby retrieving the optical fiber from the bottom of the well.
