Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil drilling, and in particular to a top drive protocol conversion device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the oil drilling industry, the top drive drilling device (referred to as "top drive") is a key equipment, and its performance and intelligence level directly affect the efficiency, safety and cost of drilling operations. However, to maximize the overall efficiency of drilling operations, data interaction between the top drive and other key equipment is particularly important. Real-time sharing and precise synchronization of data, like the nervous system of drilling operations, ensure close collaboration between various links and optimal resource allocation.

[0003] At present, through deep integration and data interaction with equipment such as mud pumps, drilling rigs, and remote monitoring centers, top drives can monitor various parameters in the drilling process in real time, such as drilling pressure, torque, speed, suspended weight, etc., thereby achieving efficient operation of the drilling process. All-round data exchange provides a solid data foundation for rapid response to abnormal situations, optimization of drilling strategies, and prevention of accidents.

[0004] However, there are still many obstacles in the data interaction of the top drive. There are many drilling equipment manufacturers with different communication protocols, which makes direct communication between equipment difficult. The star-shaped communication structure of the automated drilling rig in the related technology is extremely dependent on the central node, and the data transmission efficiency is low. The inconsistency of the underlying equipment and instrument protocols of the top drive increases the difficulty of integrating the top drive's own data. The old top drive protocol is incompatible with the new protocol, which hinders the upgrade and transformation of the top drive. During remote control, the incompatibility of the protocol limits the data interaction of the equipment and affects the integrated management of drilling operations.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

At the same time, in the embodiments of the present invention, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present invention should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete way for easy understanding.

[0027] The principles and features of the present application are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0028] In the related art, the top drive and other drilling equipment for oil drilling have the following problems during use:

[0029] There are multiple heterogeneous protocols inside the top drive, and data interactivity is poor. There are multiple protocols inside the top drive, such as TCP / IP, MQTT, Profinet, Profibus, CAN, OPC UA, etc., which not only hinders the upgrade of old top drives, but also makes the internal data processing process of the top drive complicated and the overall efficiency low.

[0030] There is no direct communication link between the top drive and other drilling equipment, and the flexibility is poor. The drilling site usually uses a star communication network with the drilling rig integration as the central node. If the drilling rig integration node fails, it will directly lead to the interruption of the entire communication link of the top drive, causing serious impact.

[0031] Lack of remote debugging capabilities. Since top drive parameters and other data are usually stored on the on-site industrial computer, engineers need to go to the work site in person to collect data and perform debugging, which is inconvenient.

[0032] Lack of multi-terminal access capabilities. Currently, top drive parameters and other data can only be accessed from a computer (PC), and other types of terminals cannot access them, which lacks flexibility.

[0033] The control program repair efficiency is low. Traditional top drives do not support remote upgrade functions. When there is a problem with the program or it needs to be upgraded, engineers need to go to the site to repair it, which is inefficient.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides a top drive protocol conversion method, which is applicable to various oil drilling scenarios. The top drive protocol conversion device includes a method for realizing the conversion of different industrial protocol data to standardized data, so as to provide a unified interface, solve the problem of complicated top drive communication interface, and lay the foundation for intelligent drilling. Promote the standardization and unification of the top drive device protocol, so as to improve the data interaction capability within the top drive device and between it and other key drilling equipment.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application provides a top drive protocol conversion system, which can execute the top drive protocol conversion method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a top drive protocol conversion system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the top drive protocol conversion system 001 includes at least one processor 011 and a memory 012 communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory 012 stores instructions executable by the at least one processor 011, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor 011 so that the at least one processor 011 can execute the top drive protocol conversion method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] Combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the embodiment of the present application provides a top drive protocol conversion device, which includes: a protocol unified integrated control module 1, a relay communication module 2, a data remote upload module 3, an air download technology remote upgrade module 4, and a multi-terminal access support module 5.

[0038] The protocol unified integrated control module 1 has a built-in multi-protocol parsing engine and a protocol conversion device, and is configured to receive top drive raw data of different top drives. The top drive raw data includes heterogeneous protocols of different top drives. The heterogeneous protocols are converted into a unified middle layer protocol through the multi-protocol parsing engine. The middle layer protocol is in the form of a configuration file. The middle layer protocol is encapsulated into a standardized data packet through the protocol conversion device.

[0039] The protocol unified integrated control module 1 is also configured to generate and issue control instructions to achieve remote unified control of the top drive.

[0040] Exemplarily, the protocol unified integrated control module 1 can be used to generate a configuration file containing a mapping relationship between commonly used top drive industrial protocols (e.g., TCP / IP, MQTT, Profinet, Profibus, CAN, OPC UA, etc.) and a custom standardized data.

[0041] Combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the multi-protocol parsing engine is further configured to confirm the protocol type of the heterogeneous protocol and extract the conversion information. The protocol type and the conversion information are mapped to the data structure of the target protocol to obtain the mapping data. According to the format of the target protocol, the mapping data, the transmission mode and the header information are encapsulated to obtain the data mapping configuration file. The data mapping configuration file includes an application object, a combination object, an original protocol data block and a configuration distribution. The data mapping configuration file is sent to the protocol conversion device.

[0042] Combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the protocol unified integrated control module 1 also includes a data communication station. The protocol conversion device is also configured to obtain the register point corresponding to the data mapping configuration file and write it into the cache. According to the data mapping configuration file, the conversion operation of the top drive original data is completed to obtain a standardized data packet. The register point corresponding to the standardized data packet is written into the to-be-forwarded cache list. According to the to-be-forwarded cache list, the standardized data packet is stored in the data communication station. The data communication station is also configured to exchange data with the relay communication module 2.

[0043] Combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the data remote upload module 3 is further configured to generate a configuration file according to the device address function table to specify a one-to-one mapping relationship between the public address and the private address.

[0044] The relay communication module 2 is configured to build a communication network between the top drive, the sensor node and the first device, so that the top drive, the sensor node and the first device can directly send and receive data. Figure 3As shown in the figure, by modifying the existing sensors on the derrick, adding functions such as protocol conversion and signal forwarding, and giving them the ability to serve as communication relay stations, a mesh topology communication structure is realized. For example, the data collected by the sensor does not need to be forwarded by the drilling rig integration, but can be directly transferred to the top drive by switching different sensor nodes according to the position of the top drive on the derrick; similarly, the signal transmission between the top drive and other equipment can also be realized through the sensor as a communication relay point, so as to realize the direct transmission and reception of data.

[0045] The first device includes a remote monitoring center or a cloud server. The relay communication module 2 can provide a unified distributed communication capability for quickly discovering and connecting devices, efficiently transmitting tasks and data, and seamlessly connecting devices.

[0046] The data remote upload module 3 is configured to upload the standardized data packet to the remote monitoring center or cloud server through the communication network. The standardized data packet includes the top drive status parameters and fault alarms. The data remote upload module 3 can be used to build a virtual private network (VPN) secure data channel to push the top drive operation data to the remote server through the mobile network. The uploaded data includes but is not limited to the top drive status parameters, fault alarms, etc., providing data support for data analysis, fault diagnosis and remote monitoring.

[0047] The Over-the-Air Technology (OTA) 4 is configured to support the remote upgrade of the top drive firmware, top drive software, and the protocol conversion device of the protocol unified integrated control module 1. The Over-the-Air Technology (OTA) 4 can provide remotely supported OTA upgrade functions, save the operation log of the protocol conversion device, and facilitate the user-side analysis. The software of the protocol conversion device and the top drive equipment can be upgraded through the OTA service. Through the OTA service, users can receive and install the latest software updates anytime and anywhere without on-site operation, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of equipment maintenance.

[0048] The multi-terminal access support module 5 is configured to support access from multiple terminal devices to meet the needs of different user groups, including PCs, tablets, mobile phones, etc. Users can access drilling operation data through any terminal device anytime and anywhere to achieve real-time information sharing and collaborative work.

[0049] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a top drive protocol conversion method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the top drive protocol conversion method includes the following steps:

[0050] S1, receiving top drive raw data of different top drives.

[0051] The top drive raw data includes heterogeneous protocols of different top drives.

[0052] S2, through multi-protocol analysis, converts heterogeneous protocols into a unified middle-layer protocol.

[0053] The middle layer protocol is in the form of a configuration file.

[0054] In some embodiments, when executing step S2, the top drive protocol conversion method further includes:

[0055] S21, confirming the protocol type of the heterogeneous protocol and extracting conversion information.

[0056] Exemplarily, the conversion information includes the size, type, format, read and write permissions, etc. of the data.

[0057] S22, mapping the protocol type and conversion information to the data structure of the target protocol to obtain mapping data.

[0058] In this way, the data parsed in step S21 (ie, conversion information) is mapped into the data structure of the target protocol.

[0059] S23, encapsulating the mapping data, transmission mode and header information according to the format of the target protocol to obtain a data mapping configuration file.

[0060] The data mapping configuration file includes application objects, combination objects, original protocol data blocks and configuration delivery.

[0061] In this way, the converted data is encapsulated into the format of the target protocol, that is, the format setting of the data mapping configuration file is completed. Exemplarily, the format of the target protocol may include "setting the correct transmission mode", "adding necessary header information", etc.

[0062] Application objects are used to generate standard data packets, including classes, instances, and attributes. The original protocol data can be associated with each attribute. Through parameters such as data type, data size, read and write permissions, address, bit mapping, value mapping, etc., free mapping of original protocol data to standard data packet attributes is achieved.

[0063] The combination object is used to generate a standard data list, including instance number, direction and member table. The members in the member table are the attributes created in the standard data package. Individual standard data packages can be merged into a set for easy management.

[0064] The protocol data block is used to generate the original protocol scan block, including parameters such as the first address, the last address, and the address type. The continuous protocol addresses are configured into data blocks, and read and write by block to improve communication efficiency.

[0065] Configuration delivery is used to deliver the above configuration content to the protocol conversion device in the form of a configuration file, which is a point mapping file.

[0066] By executing step S23, the encapsulated data can be transmitted through the target protocol. It can be understood that the correct transmission of the data is ensured by docking with the communication interface of the target device.

[0067] S24, sending the data mapping configuration file to the protocol conversion device.

[0068] The target protocol can be an intermediate layer protocol.

[0069] In some embodiments, when executing step S2, the top drive protocol conversion method further includes:

[0070] Generate a configuration file based on the device address function table to specify a one-to-one mapping relationship between public addresses and private addresses. Public addresses include ports. Private addresses include ports. In this way, the intranet server is mapped to the public network, thereby realizing the establishment of a data channel.

[0071] S3 encapsulates the intermediate layer protocol into standardized data packets.

[0072] In some embodiments, when executing step S3, the top drive protocol conversion method further includes:

[0073] S31, obtaining the register point corresponding to the data mapping configuration file and writing it into the cache.

[0074] When the protocol conversion device is running, it first obtains the register position corresponding to the protocol data to be converted, and writes it into the cache.

[0075] S32, completing the conversion operation of the top drive original data according to the data mapping configuration file to obtain a standardized data packet.

[0076] S33, writing the register bit corresponding to the standardized data packet into the to-be-forwarded cache list.

[0077] The original protocol cache and the standard data cache will realize the conversion of the original protocol data to the standard data according to the point mapping file sent by the protocol unified integrated control module, and write the point of the register corresponding to the standard data into the cache list to be forwarded.

[0078] S34, storing the standardized data packet into the data communication station according to the cache list to be forwarded.

[0079] In this way, the converted standardized data is stored in the data communication station by the above cache list, waiting to be forwarded by the relay communication module.

[0080] S4, constructing a communication network among the top drive, the sensor node and the first device, so that the top drive, the sensor node and the first device can directly send and receive data.

[0081] The first device includes a remote monitoring center or a cloud server.

[0082] By executing step S4, a distributed communication network is implemented, including message communication, message queue, subscription and publishing mode, and error handling.

[0083] Message communication realizes communication between different devices by defining a unified message format, which usually includes message type, message data and other custom fields. Generally, the application object of the standardized protocol defined in the protocol unified integrated control module 1 is used as the message format.

[0084] Message queues are used to implement asynchronous communication. The sender puts the message into the queue, and the receiver gets the message from the queue for processing. This method can improve the concurrency and responsiveness of the system.

[0085] Subscription and publication mode supports subscription or publication mode. When a module publishes a message, all subscribers can receive the message. This method can easily implement broadcasting and event notification.

[0086] Error handling, handling errors in communication, such as message loss, repeated sending, etc. Mechanisms such as retry and message confirmation are usually used to ensure the reliability and correctness of communication.

[0087] Exemplarily, by building a VPN secure data channel, the top drive operation data is pushed to the remote server via the mobile network.

[0088] S5, upload the standardized data package to the remote monitoring center or cloud server through the communication network. The standardized data package includes top drive status parameters and fault alarms.

[0089] In some embodiments, after executing step S5, the top drive protocol conversion method further includes:

[0090] S6, save the operation log of the protocol conversion device to facilitate the user end to analyze, and the software of the protocol conversion device and the top drive equipment can be upgraded through the OTA service.

[0091] In some embodiments, when executing step S6, the top drive protocol conversion method further includes:

[0092] S61, firmware package management.

[0093] The update content is packaged into a firmware package and released through the server. The firmware package contains the compressed data of the firmware, verification information and update script.

[0094] S62, version control.

[0095] Manage and track device firmware versions by establishing a version record table and comparing it with the operation log of the protocol converter to ensure that the device can be updated from the current version to the target version in an orderly manner to prevent version conflicts and upgrade failures.

[0096] In some embodiments, after executing step S6, the top drive protocol conversion method further includes:

[0097] S7, by setting up a client (Client) web page, the terminal that logs into the web page can directly access the on-site top drive equipment.

[0098] In this way, a website including a cloud database is realized to store standard data information from on-site top drive equipment. Users can access the website on different terminals and view the data in real time.
