Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultra-deep well drilling tool testing, and in particular to a 10,000-meter deep well drilling tool metal screw testing system and method. Background Art
[0002] The actual working environment of ultra-deep wells is thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters underground. If the workpiece is tested directly underground, it will make it difficult to collect test data. There are too many unknown factors underground, which is very risky. Repeated testing will also greatly increase the R&D cost. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a test platform for metal screws of drill tools to replace the test in the actual working environment, and to display the invisible and complex environment underground through the test platform. The performance test and life test of the metal screw components of the drill tool are completed in a simulated environment, and the environmental parameters and test parameters can be monitored. The defects and deficiencies of the tested parts can be discovered in advance, and test data can be provided for the design of the tested parts, thereby improving the structure and reducing R&D costs.
[0003] How it works
[0004] Metal screws in deep well drilling are used to transmit torque, support the drill bit and maintain the stability of drilling tools. Their main working principles include:
[0005] 1. Transmitting torque: During the drilling process, the drilling equipment provides torque by rotating to enable the drill bit to drill into the underground rock formation. In this process, the metal screw, as a key component for transmitting torque, transmits the torque from the drilling rig above to the drill bit at the bottom, ensuring that the drill bit can drill smoothly.
[0006] 2. Support and connection: Metal screws are not only responsible for the transmission of torque, but also for support and connection. They mechanically connect the various components of the drilling rig (such as the drill bit, weight, stabilizer, etc.) and maintain the overall stability of the drilling tool. Especially in the extreme environment of a 10,000-meter deep well, the connection performance and strength of the screw are crucial.
[0007] 3. Compression, tension and bending resistance: In deep wells, the screw not only needs to withstand the torque generated by drilling, but also the challenges of high pressure and high temperature environment underground. Metal screws need to have high compression, tension, bending and other properties to ensure that the drilling tools can work stably underground for a long time.
[0008] 4. Thermal expansion and stress changes: In deep wells, the temperature and pressure change with the increase of depth, which will cause thermal expansion or stress changes in the screw during operation. Therefore, the material and design of the screw need to be able to withstand these extreme physical changes to avoid breakage or damage due to temperature changes or pressure fluctuations.
[0009] Therefore, the core goal of the 10,000-meter deep-well drilling tool metal screw testing system is to ensure the reliability and stability of the screw in extreme deep-well environments. It simulates the temperature, pressure and mechanical load downhole, monitors the working status of the screw under different conditions, and evaluates its strength, performance and life reliability. This test system is of great significance for improving drilling efficiency and reducing the risk of downhole failures. Summary of the invention
[0010] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a metal screw testing system for 10,000-meter deep well drilling tools, which can simulate the actual working conditions of ultra-deep wells to the greatest extent, display the invisible and complex underground environment through the test bench, and complete the performance test and life test of the metal screw of the drilling tool in a simulated environment.
[0011] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve its invention purpose is: a 10,000-meter deep well drilling tool metal screw testing system, including a base, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, an infrared thermal camera, a mud tank, a mud pump, a radiator, a motor, a vibration sensor, a torque sensor, and a first axis system, wherein:
[0012] The first axis is fixedly mounted on the base, and the specific structure of the drilling tool metal screw and the mounting assembly is as follows:
[0013] The metal screw of the drill tool to be tested is divided into left and right screws, which are connected to the center through thrust bearings and thrust joints and fixed in the first axis system. The hydraulic cylinder provides power to the metal drill tool thrust seat, so that it can press the entire axis system through movement on the slide rail. A magnetic induction heating coil is installed in the middle to simulate the temperature conditions in the ultra-deep well virtual environment to test its thermal performance. A set of bevel gears are installed on the left and right screws respectively, and the power is provided by the motor connected to them, and the torque is transmitted from the bevel gears to the entire first axis system.
[0014] A torque sensor and a vibration sensor are installed in the first shaft system to collect torque and vibration data of the metal screw being tested.
[0015] A mud pump is installed outside the first shaft system to transport the mud generated during the drilling process to the mud tank on the other side for storage. At the same time, a radiator is installed on the pipeline to improve the heat dissipation efficiency during transportation.
[0016] The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on a base outside the shaft system.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] It can simulate the actual working conditions of ultra-deep wells to the greatest extent, display the invisible and complex underground environment through the test platform, and collect metal screw related data through sensors in a virtual environment for processing, complete the performance test and life test of the metal screw in the drilling rig, and discover the defects and deficiencies of the tested parts in advance, provide test data for the design of the tested parts, thereby improving the structure and reducing R&D costs.
[0019] Data processing
[0020] In the simulation of 10,000-meter deep well drilling operations, in order to accurately evaluate the mechanical properties and vibration characteristics of the metal screw during operation, the present invention uses a torque sensor and a vibration sensor to monitor the metal screw in real time to obtain important data such as the screw's torque and vibration. These data need to be processed after collection to extract meaningful information to help determine the working status and fatigue level of the screw. The specific processing method uses the least squares method to accurately analyze and fit the data.
[0021] The least squares method is a mathematical optimization method for data fitting. Its main purpose is to find the best fitting model by minimizing the sum of squares of the errors between the predicted values and the actual observed values.
[0022] For a given data point (x i ,y i ), the least squares method fits the model by minimizing the following objective function:
[0023]
[0024] in:
[0025] y i is the actual observed value, f(x i ) is the value predicted by the model, S is the sum of squares of errors, and n is the number of data points.
[0026] The specific processing method is: to fit the data by establishing a linear regression model with given data, calculate the error between the model prediction value and the actual observation value, and add the sum of squares of these errors. By adjusting the model parameters and minimizing the sum of squares of the errors, the best fitting model is obtained.
[0027] This method is used to smooth the torque signal, thereby removing the noise in the signal and accurately capturing the changing trend of the screw torque. For the low-frequency or highly fitting parts of the vibration signal, the irregular fluctuations caused by external interference or signal noise can be removed. This helps to accurately extract the basic trend of the vibration signal and effectively identify the working status of the screw. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
