Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water supply and drainage, in particular to a water well repairing device and method based on visual information. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water well is one of the common and essential infrastructures in production and life, and is a key facility for extracting underground water or recharging surplus water into underground aquifer. Due to water flow, metal corrosion, external force collision and other reasons, the well pipe (including the inner wall of the well and the filter layer) may be damaged, causing the filter material, soil and sand outside the pipe to flow into the well, affecting the normal use of the well. Since the construction cost of water well, especially deep water well, is high, and the approval procedures for building a new water well are complicated, the damaged part of the well is usually repaired directly. The existing well repairing method is to add a section of casing with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the well pipe to the damaged well section, so as to isolate and seal the damaged part of the well pipe. Since the diameter of the repairing casing must be smaller than the diameter of the original well pipe, the inner diameter of the well will be reduced after the first repair, which is equivalent to an obstacle in the well repair section, affecting the pump or the implementation of repairing the well pipe below.

[0003] In addition, due to the unpredictability and randomness of the damage of the water well in the daily operation process, the well pipe of other layers may be damaged after the well pipe of one layer is repaired. The traditional well pipe repairing method requires that all the well repairing casings in the well be removed one by one, and then installed from bottom to top one by one. This method requires a large amount of repetitive operations, which not only wastes a lot of manpower, material resources and well repairing time, but also causes adverse effects on the well pipe during the repeated installation and removal of the casing, affecting the overall service life of the well. When the well pipe below the existing well repairing casing is damaged and cannot be removed, the well cannot be repaired, resulting in the abandonment of the well.

[0004] The information disclosed in this section of the background art is only used to deepen the understanding of the background art of the present disclosure, and should not be regarded as acknowledging or implying in any form that this information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

The present application relates to "connection", "coupling", unless otherwise specified, including direct and indirect connection (coupling).

[0020] The units, components, structures, mechanisms or sensors involved in the following embodiments are all conventional commercially available products unless otherwise specified.

[0021] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification.

[0022] In order to keep the original pipe diameter of the water well unchanged after repair, and not to affect the subsequent repair of other parts of the water well, save the repair cost and construction period of the water well, and reduce the situation of water well scrapping, the present example discloses a water well repair device based on visual information, as shown in Figure 1 The center rod shaft 1 is fixed at the lower end of the drill pipe of the drilling machine or winch in a screw connection manner, and the umbrella-shaped support frame body 2 is lowered to the designated position in the water well under the driving of the drilling machine or winch. In order to realize the opening and closing of the umbrella-shaped support frame body 2, a convenient installation ring 3 is fixed at the corresponding height of the center rod shaft, and the umbrella-shaped support frame body 2 includes six support rods 4 which are circumferentially arrayed and hinged to the installation ring 3 with the axis of the center rod shaft 1 as the center. A fixed knot is welded on the side of each support rod 4 away from the center rod shaft, and a traction rope 7 is tied on the fixed knot. Under the lifting of the traction rope 7, the support rods 4 open outward with the center rod shaft 1 as the center and match the diameter of the water well.

[0023] In order to cut off the connection between the damaged part 11 of the water well and the inside of the well, six wall-adhering steel plates 6 and tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pads 5 are hinged to the corresponding ends of each support rod 4. The six wall-adhering steel plates 6 are arc-shaped steel plates with the same curvature as the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pads 5. The arc-shaped steel plates are arranged at a certain distance on the inside of the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pads 5. Under the action of the opening of the corresponding support rods 4, the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pads 5 are pushed to fit tightly against the inner wall 12 of the water well. The tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pads 5 expand to 2 to 3 times their original size when exposed to water, thereby sealing the damaged part 11 of the water well and preventing the subsequent grouting slurry or other repair materials from flowing into the well. Preferably, in order to enable the support rod 4 to stably drive the wall-attached steel plate 6 to open outward, three groups of umbrella-shaped support frames 2 are provided on the central rod axis 1, and the support rods 4 of each group of umbrella-shaped support frames 2 correspond to each other up and down, and the corresponding support rods 4 up and down are respectively hinged to the same wall-attached steel plate 6.

[0024] In order to fill the void at the damaged part 11 of the water well, the water well repair device also includes a grouting port 9 opened at at least one of the wall-attached steel plates 6 and the corresponding tubular water-expandable flexible water-stop pad 5, and a grouting pipe 8 with one end connected to the grouting port 9 and the other end connected to the ground grouting pump 10 through a high-pressure pipe. Grouting is used to solidify the inner wall 12 of the water well, the filter layer 13 of the water well pipe, and the grouting slurry into one, thereby achieving the same-diameter repair of the water well pipe and significantly reducing the adverse effects on the original structure of the water well during the well repair process. At the same time, in order to determine the location and degree of damage to the water well, the grouting port 9 can be accurately positioned at the damaged part 11 of the water well, and a high-definition downhole television 15 is equipped to follow the water well repair device based on visual information downhole construction. Preferably, the downhole television 15 uses a downhole television cable 16 to perform a photographic inspection of the water well.

[0025] In order to save water well repair costs and construction period and achieve accurate water well repair, this embodiment also discloses a construction method of a water well repair device based on visualization information, which specifically includes the following steps: S1: If Figure 4 As shown, a high-definition downhole television 15 is used to photograph and inspect the water well that needs to be repaired, and to record the image data of all the water well pipes to find out the overall quality of the water well, the exact location of the damaged part 11 of the water well, the damaged area and other basic conditions. According to the overall damage condition of the water well, the area of ​​each part that needs to be repaired and the volume of materials required for repair are determined and calculated, and the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pad 5 and the wall-adhering steel plate 6 of the water well repair device are processed according to the repair requirements: the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pad 5 and the wall-adhering steel plate 6 are matched with the inner wall 12 of the water well and the height should be greater than the height of the damaged part 11 of the water well by 0.6m. If the part that needs to be repaired is too large, more than two grouting pipes can be installed to ensure that the damaged part 11 of the water well can be completely filled with grouting.

[0026] S2: The downhole television 15 and the water well repairing device are synchronously lowered to the corresponding well section needing to be repaired, the high-definition image information of the downhole television 15 is used to guide the center of the grouting hole 9 opened on the adhering steel plate 6 and the corresponding tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pad 5 to the center of the water well damage 11, and the upper and lower edges of the adhering steel plate 6 and the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pad 5 are greater than 0.3m of the repairing position, so as to achieve the effect of completely covering the water well damage 11. Then the central rod shaft 1 of the water well repairing device is fixed, the traction rope 7 on the supporting rod 4 is lifted to make the adhering steel plate 6 push the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pad 5 to be close to the inner wall 12 of the water well and to be closed to the water well damage 11, so as to completely cut off the connection between the water well damage 11 and the well.

[0027] S3: The cement, water and accelerator are mixed according to a certain proportion to prepare the quick-acting repairing cement slurry, the volume of the prepared repairing cement slurry is 1.2-1.5 times of the calculated plugging amount, and the setting time of the slurry is controlled to be 10-20 minutes. The prepared repairing cement slurry is pressed and injected to the water well damage position through the grouting pipe 8 by the ground grouting pump 10. When the volume of the pressed slurry reaches 1.2 times of the calculated volume, clean water is pressed and injected, so that the clean water maintains a water column with a height of 5-10m in the vertical grouting pipe, the cement slurry column in the grouting pipe 8 is moved downward by the water head pressure formed by the water column, until the cement slurry is pressed and injected to the water well damage 11, so that the cement slurry is filled in the water well damage 11 and is solidified with the filter layer 13 of the water well and the inner wall 12 of the water well into a solidified body 14. The solidified body 14 is durable and does not cause environmental pollution.

[0028] S4: After the solidified body reaches a certain strength, the traction rope 7 and the supporting rod 4 are lowered, the tubular water-swelling flexible water-stopping pad 5 is folded with the adhering steel plate 6 to the central rod shaft 1, the water well repairing device is disassembled, and the downhole television 15 is used to check the repairing condition of the water well damage 11. If there is a quality defect, the repairing can be implemented again. After the repaired well pipe is checked and no quality problem and quality defect are found, the well repairing work is ended, the water well maintains the original well diameter and returns to the normal operation function. Figure 5 、 6 As shown in the figure, the water well damage 11 is permanently solidified and repaired together with the filter layer 13 of the water well and the cement slurry.

[0029] Although some preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art can make further changes and modifications to these embodiments once they know the basic inventive concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including all the preferred embodiments and all the changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present application.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
