Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, and in particular to a radio frequency power supply device and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Neutron generators have many uses in the oil and gas and other mineral industries. For example, they play an important role in oil and gas dynamic monitoring, rock physical property analysis, oil and gas pipeline detection, oil and gas field exploration, and geochemical research. In well logging, neutron generators are key equipment used to generate neutrons and then implement a variety of logging methods. Among them, methods such as neutron lifetime logging and pulsed neutron oxygen activation logging can effectively evaluate information such as oil saturation, mineral composition and porosity in the formation. Neutron generators mainly generate neutrons through DD (deuterium-deuterium) or DT (deuterium-tritium) reactions. Among them, DD neutron generators use fusion reactions between deuterium nuclei to generate neutrons. This reaction can accelerate deuterium particles under high voltage to a level sufficient to trigger a nuclear reaction, and then generate neutrons through target shooting.
[0003] The most important part of a neutron generator is the ion source, because the neutrons produced in the neutron generator are achieved through the acceleration, extraction and focusing of ions in the ion source. There are many types of ion sources, one of which is the radio frequency ion source. The advantage of the radio frequency ion source is that most of the ions it produces are atomic ions, so the ion source is more efficient and results in more neutrons.
[0004] The RF ion source needs to be driven by an RF power supply, and the driving process requires a high-voltage, high-frequency RF electric field. Specifically, the ion source in the neutron generator usually uses a Penning source or a gridless ion source. These ion sources require a high-frequency, high-voltage electric field provided by an RF power supply to maintain the stability and extraction of the ions. During the extraction process, the ions need to be accelerated by an accelerator to obtain sufficient energy, and then focused by a magnetic field to ensure the collimation and stability of the ion beam. These processes require a high-frequency, high-voltage electric field provided by an RF power supply to be realized. In actual work, an impedance matching unit is also required for impedance matching to maximize the transmission power and protect the equipment.
[0005] Due to the harsh working environment underground, the RF power supply system needs to be embedded in the narrow space of the drill bit, which places high demands on the size of the RF power supply. Summary of the invention

[0044] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0045] In order to solve the problem that there is no small-sized RF power supply device for mine use in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a RF power supply device that can meet the requirements for the size of the RF power supply device under mining conditions and solve the electromagnetic interference problem during the operation of the RF power supply.
[0046] Embodiment 1
[0047] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a radio frequency power supply device, the structural diagram of which is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a control unit, a signal unit, and an impedance matching unit;
[0048] The control unit includes a built-in program chip for switching the transmission mode and controlling the signal unit to output a radio frequency signal corresponding to the transmission mode;
[0049] The impedance matching unit includes a detection device, an operational amplifier, a logic operation device, an inductor and a capacitor, and is used to adjust the electrical characteristics of the transmission line between the radio frequency signal and the load to achieve impedance matching;
[0050] The detection device is used to detect the electrical characteristic parameter information on the transmission line between the radio frequency signal output by the signal unit and the load; the logic operation device is used to perform logical judgment and operation on the electrical characteristic parameter information, and adjust the operational amplifier, inductor and capacitor based on the operation result to achieve impedance matching.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, an isolation cabin is provided between the control unit and the signal unit, and between the signal unit and the impedance matching unit, and the interior of the isolation cabin includes shielding material.
[0052] Compared with a switching power supply, a radio frequency power supply will have higher radiation energy as the frequency increases, which will generate electromagnetic interference in a closed system. The radiation energy is caused by electromagnetic radiation generated by accelerating charges, and the frequency is related to the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation. According to Maxwell's equations, an accelerating charge will generate a changing electric field and magnetic field around it, and the electric and magnetic fields propagate in the form of electromagnetic waves. The radiation power is proportional to the rate of change of the electric and magnetic fields, and this rate of change is related to the frequency of the accelerating charge.
[0053] The isolation chamber can not only inhibit the rapid outward overflow of heat from the signal unit to the control unit and the impedance matching unit, but also play a role in electromagnetic isolation, preventing the outward overflow of radio frequency energy and electromagnetic interference from affecting the normal operation of the control unit and the impedance matching unit. At the same time, the isolation chamber can also block external interference.
[0054] As Figure 1 shown, the radio frequency power supply device further includes a housing and data connectors and power supply connectors at both ends of the housing; due to the influence of the underground mine environment, it is impossible to use a fan for air cooling or a water channel for water cooling, and only natural cooling can be used. The housing protects the device and provides a natural cooling heat dissipation channel at the same time. The data connector is used to send control signals to the control unit.
[0055] The built-in program of the control unit is used to switch the emission mode and control the signal unit to output corresponding radio frequency signals; in the working mode, if the emission mode is pulse emission, the signal unit outputs a radio frequency signal reaching the preset power; when the working mode ends and switches to continuous emission, the signal unit continuously outputs a lower power radio frequency signal. In the continuous emission mode, the radio frequency power supply device operates in an environment of low power consumption and low load and can provide a stable beam current.
[0056] The signal unit includes an oscillator, a drive unit, a power amplifier, a filter, a directional coupler, a feedback network unit, and a power supply, as Figure 2As shown; 1) the input end of the oscillator is connected to the power supply, and the output end of the oscillator is connected to the input end of the driving unit, which is used to adjust the duty cycle of the oscillator to generate an initial signal of a preset RF frequency band, and generate a RF signal with driving capability through the driving unit; 2) the output end of the driving unit is connected to the input end of the power amplifier, and the output end of the power amplifier is connected to the input end of the filter, which is used to amplify the RF signal with driving capability through the power amplifier, and filter the amplified RF signal based on the filter; wherein the driving unit and the power amplifier are connected to the power supply to power them; 3) the output end of the filter is connected to the input end of the directional coupler, and the output end of the directional coupler is connected to the load, and the filtered RF signal passes through the directional coupler to obtain the RF signal that drives the load, and outputs it to the load; 4) the feedback end of the directional coupler is connected to the input end of the feedback network unit, and the output end of the feedback network unit is connected to the control unit, which is used to feed back the RF signal that drives the load to the control unit to determine whether the RF signal needs to be adjusted in real time to reach the preset power.
[0057] In the process of outputting the RF signal to the load, the impedance matching unit continuously adjusts the electrical characteristics of the transmission line between the RF signal and the load to achieve impedance matching, ensuring the maximum power transmission and minimum reflection loss of the RF signal, so that the RF signal can be efficiently transmitted to the load. In the impedance matching unit, the detection device continuously detects the electrical characteristic parameter information on the transmission line between the RF signal output by the signal unit and the load, and transmits the electrical characteristic parameter information to the logic operation device for logical judgment and operation, and adjusts the operational amplifier, inductor and capacitor based on the operation result to achieve impedance matching, and finally transmits the RF signal to the load; optionally, the electrical characteristic parameter information includes incident power, reflected power and phase, etc.
[0058] In the impedance matching unit, the first end of the detection device is connected to the logic operation device through a capacitor, the second end of the detection device is connected to the same-direction input end of the operational amplifier, and the other end of the logic operation device is grounded; the output end of the operational amplifier is connected to the load through an inductor, and the reverse input end of the operational amplifier is grounded.
[0059] Optionally, if the inductor in the impedance matching unit includes a first inductor and a second inductor, and the capacitor includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor, the schematic diagram of the impedance matching unit is as follows: Figure 3As shown: wherein, the first end of the detection device is connected to the first end of the first capacitor, and the second end of the detection device is connected to the same-direction input end of the operational amplifier; the reverse input end of the operational amplifier is grounded, and the output end of the operational amplifier is connected to the load through the first inductor; the second end of the first capacitor is connected to the first end of the second capacitor and the first end of the logic operation device in parallel; the second end of the second capacitor is grounded; the second end of the logic operation device is connected to the first end of the second inductor, and the second end of the second inductor is grounded.
[0060] The above-mentioned device of this embodiment adopts the circuit topology structure of integrated operational amplifier to replace the traditional resistive and capacitive load for impedance matching, which greatly reduces the volume of the radio frequency power supply device, making the structure of the entire device more compact and more suitable for small-sized working environments underground; the isolation cabin is distributed between the control unit and the signal unit, and between the signal unit and the impedance matching unit, which can effectively suppress the heat and electromagnetic energy generated by the signal unit, and at the same time block the influence of external interference on the device; at the same time, the outer shell provides a natural cooling and heat dissipation channel.
[0061] Embodiment 2
[0062] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a control method for a radio frequency power supply device, the process of which is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0063] Step S101: In the working mode, the control unit selects the transmission mode as pulse transmission, and controls the signal unit to output a radio frequency signal reaching a first preset power, and the impedance matching unit adjusts the electrical characteristics of the radio frequency signal reaching the first preset power and the transmission line of the load;
[0064] Step S102: The working mode ends, the control unit switches the transmission mode to continuous transmission, the control signal unit outputs the radio frequency signal reaching the second preset power, and the impedance matching unit adjusts the electrical characteristics of the radio frequency signal reaching the first preset power and the load on the transmission line; the first preset power is greater than the second preset power.
[0065] Specifically, in the two transmission modes, the working power of the pulse transmission is preset to a first power with a higher power, and the power of the continuous transmission is preset to a second power with a lower power. Based on the preset first power or second power, the oscillator is controlled to generate an initial signal of a preset radio frequency band by adjusting the duty cycle, and a radio frequency signal with driving capability is generated through a driving unit; the radio frequency signal with driving capability is amplified by a power amplifier, and the amplified radio frequency signal is filtered based on a filter; the filtered radio frequency signal is passed through a directional coupler to obtain a radio frequency signal for driving a load, and the radio frequency signal is output to the load;
[0066] The obtained RF signal for driving the load is also fed back to the control unit through the feedback network unit. The control unit determines whether the power of the signal reaches the first preset power or the first preset power. If not, the control unit generates an initial signal by adjusting the duty cycle of the oscillator. After passing through the driving unit, power amplifier, filter and directional coupler in sequence, an adjusted RF signal is obtained and output to the load.
[0067] In the process of outputting the RF signal to the load, an impedance matching unit is required to perform impedance matching. The detection device continuously detects the electrical characteristic parameter information on the transmission line between the RF signal reaching the first preset power or the second preset power and the load. The logic operation device performs logical judgment and operation on the detected electrical characteristic parameter information, and adjusts the operational amplifier, inductor and capacitor based on the operation result to achieve impedance matching.
[0068] For example, in an actual application scenario, the RF power supply device outputs an RF signal in the initially set working mode to excite the neutron generator. The neutron generator measures the porosity of the formation to determine whether it has entered the target formation. If it has entered the target formation, the initial working mode is switched to pulsed emission to measure the target formation information. If the porosity measurement data indicates that it is not in the target formation, it is switched to continuous emission to continuously monitor whether it has entered the target formation. In the continuous emission mode, the low power consumption and low load environment can extend the service life of the neutron generator.
[0069] In this embodiment, by switching between two different emission modes, pulse emission and continuous emission, in the pulse emission mode, the duty cycle is adjusted to achieve the effect of adjusting the heat dissipation time; switching to continuous emission in the non-working mode can provide a stable beam current. In this emission mode, the device works in a low-power, low-load environment to extend its service life.
