Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wireline coring technology, and more specifically, relates to a multi-stage linkage annular cavity release mechanism for a segmented inner tube assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Wireline coring is a highly efficient geological drilling method, characterized by its ability to retrieve cores without the need for drill string lifting. It employs a separate inner and outer core tube mechanism. The outer tube assembly comprises seven parts: a centralizer, a spring-loaded chuck chamber, a seat ring, the outer core tube, a centralizer ring, a reamer, and the drill bit. The inner tube assembly consists of five parts: a spring-loaded chuck assembly, the inner core tube, a chuck seat, a chuck, and a chuck retainer. The spring-loaded chuck assembly itself includes nine mechanisms: a spear-retrieval mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a suspension mechanism, a positioning signal mechanism, an adjustment mechanism, a full-tube or blockage alarm mechanism, a single-action mechanism, a buffer mechanism, and a one-way valve mechanism. During drilling, the outer tube rotates while the inner tube remains stationary. Once the core fills the core tube, the inner tube assembly is retrieved using a retrieval tool, leaving the drill rod inside the borehole. This significantly reduces the occurrence of engineering accidents such as necking and borehole collapse, improving drilling efficiency and core recovery rate. Currently, wireline coring technology is widely used in coalfield exploration, metal ore exploration, civil engineering geological exploration, and hydrological observation exploration.
[0003] In current wireline coring drilling technology, the difficulty in removing cuttings is a prominent issue due to complex geological conditions and construction techniques. This often leads to cuttings accumulating and clogging in the annular space between the inner and outer tubing assemblies, preventing the inner tubing assembly from being successfully retrieved. In fractured formations, cuttings particles are large; in water-swellable formations, the rock mass expands upon absorbing water; and in clay formations, clay particles are highly viscous. These complex formations all contribute to the difficulty in removing cuttings. Furthermore, when the drilling fluid viscosity is too high and its suspension capacity is strong, cuttings cannot effectively settle during drilling fluid circulation. During the retrieval of the inner tubing assembly, the drilling fluid circulation stops, causing cuttings to deposit in the drill pipe. Simultaneously, when the drilling rig speed is too high, the amount of cuttings generated per unit time exceeds the carrying capacity of the drilling fluid, also preventing complete removal of cuttings. All of these situations can cause cuttings to accumulate and clog in the annular space between the inner and outer tubing assemblies, preventing the inner tubing assembly from being successfully retrieved. The commonly used treatment method requires pulling all drill pipes out of the hole to remove the inner tube assembly. This method not only significantly increases labor intensity and delays the construction period, but also easily induces engineering accidents such as necking and hole collapse, seriously affecting drilling efficiency and project quality.
[0004] In view of this, following the above nine mechanisms, this invention proposes a multi-stage linkage ring cavity unlocking mechanism for a segmented inner tube assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.

[0062] It should be noted that the number of linkage stages in the multi-stage linkage mechanism, the position and number of steel ball positioning plates on the low-friction guide valve type inner tube mechanism, the number of valve groups and lifting length of the sliding groove limiting valve mechanism, and the unloading mechanism shown in the accompanying drawings of this invention are merely illustrative examples intended to facilitate understanding of the invention. Any changes and adjustments made to the above-mentioned number of linkage stages, position and number of steel ball positioning plates, number of valve groups and lifting length, and unloading mechanism based on the concept of this invention should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0063] It should be noted that the inner tube assembly shown in the accompanying drawings of this invention is of the Q series HQ specification, which is merely an illustrative example intended to facilitate understanding of the invention. Any multi-stage linkage annular cavity release mechanism for segmented inner tube assemblies applied to other series and specifications based on the concept of this invention should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0064] like Figures 1-43 As shown, this invention provides a multi-stage linkage annular cavity unblocking mechanism for a segmented inner tube assembly, including a multi-stage linkage mechanism 1, a low-friction guide valve type inner tube mechanism 2, a sliding groove limiting valve mechanism 3, a rotating stop block mechanism 4, and a core jamming mechanism 5. The multi-stage linkage mechanism 1 includes an inner linkage frame 11, a rolled elastic pin 12, a support pad 13, a spring 14, a rolled elastic pin 2 15, an outer linkage frame 16, and a one-way valve 17. The low-friction guide valve type inner tube mechanism 2 includes a core extraction inner tube... The tube 21 and steel ball 22, the sliding groove limiting petal mechanism 3 includes sliding groove limiting petal group one 31 and sliding groove limiting petal group two 32, the rotating stop block mechanism 4 includes a locking strip 41 and a petal block 42, the core cutting mechanism 5 includes a retaining spring seat 51, a retaining spring ring 52, and a retaining spring 53, the support pad 13 is threadedly connected to the outer linkage frame 16, the outer linkage frame 16 is threadedly connected to the core inner tube 21, and the core inner tube 21 is threadedly connected to the retaining spring seat 51.
[0065] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the inner tube assembly is designed as a segmented structure. A multi-stage linkage mechanism 1 drives the sliding groove limiting segment group 31 and the sliding groove limiting segment group 32 to rise step by step, thereby gradually reducing the contact area between the inner tube assembly and the rock cuttings. This achieves gradual unloading of the frictional resistance of the rock cuttings, ultimately allowing the inner tube assembly to be successfully released and extracted. To clarify the unloading mechanism in the multi-stage linkage process of the segmented inner tube assembly, the following uses the location of the safety pin 215 as an example to specifically illustrate the change process of the contact area and frictional resistance between the inner tube assembly and the rock cuttings.
[0066] After the wireline coring rig completes its current drilling cycle, the bottom ends of both the first and second sets of sliding groove limiting flaps 31 and 32 are located at the bottom of the snap ring seat 51. At this point, the contact area between the segmented inner tube assembly and the rock cuttings at the location of the safety pin 215 is 100%, and the segmented inner tube assembly is in its positioned state. The retrieval tool is lowered to retrieve the segmented inner tube assembly. When the retrieval hook grabs the retrieval spearhead and lifts it upward, the inner linkage frame 11 lifts upward, driving the first set of sliding groove limiting flaps 31 to lift upward simultaneously. The guide rail groove 311 and the guide rib 119 cooperate to ensure that the first set of sliding groove limiting flaps 31 does not derail during the lifting process. The inner wall of the first set of sliding groove limiting flaps 31 is supported on the steel balls 22, reducing the frictional resistance between the inner tube and the coring inner tube 21 during the lifting process. Under the combined action of the core's own weight, the force required to break the rock, and the elastic bushing of the safety pin 215 undergoes a slight elastic deformation and slides downward from the neck position of the variable diameter locking groove 312, thereby lifting the sliding groove limiting flap group 1 31 upward. At this time, the sliding groove limiting flap group 2 32 remains stationary. This stage is the first-level linkage stage. During this process, the lifting area of the safety pin 215 and the contact area with the rock cuttings are reduced to 25% of the original area, and the frictional resistance it receives is reduced to 25% of the total frictional resistance. When the bottom end of the inner slide 117 contacts the rolled elastic pin 15, the inner linkage frame 11 continues to lift, driving the slide limit flap assembly 32 to lift upwards synchronously. The guide rail groove 311 and the guide rib 119 cooperate to ensure that the slide limit flap assembly 32 does not derail during the lifting process. The inner wall of the slide limit flap assembly 32 is supported on the steel ball 22, reducing the frictional resistance with the core tube 21 during the lifting process. During the lifting process, the rolled elastic pin 15 compresses the spring 14. The top of the spring 14 is supported by the support pad 13 to keep the top of the spring 14 fixed. At this time, the slide limit flap assembly 31 and the slide limit flap assembly 32 lift synchronously. This stage is the second-level linkage stage. During this process, the lifting area of the safety pin 215 and the contact area with the rock cuttings are reduced to 25% of the original area, and the frictional resistance it receives is reduced to 25% of the total frictional resistance. When the coiled elastic pin 15 is raised to the top of the outer slide groove 163, the inner linkage frame 11 continues to be raised, driving the outer linkage frame 16 to rise synchronously. At this time, the slide groove limiting flap group 1 31 and the slide groove limiting flap group 2 32 stop their relative movement with the core-retrieving inner tube 21, and the three maintain synchronous lifting. This stage is the retrieval state. During this process, the lifting area of the safety pin 215 and the contact area with the rock cuttings are reduced to 50% of the original area, and the frictional resistance it experiences is reduced to 50% of the total frictional resistance. The inner linkage frame 11 continues to be raised until the entire segmented inner tube assembly is removed from the rock cuttings. The segmented inner tube assembly is successfully unblocked and extracted through a 25%, 25%, and 50% unloading mechanism. During the lifting of the segmented inner tube assembly, the valve plug 168 sits in the valve cap 169 under the action of gravity, thereby forming a sealed space inside the core-retrieving inner tube 21, effectively preventing the rock core from falling off during the lifting of the segmented inner tube assembly.
[0067] After the split inner tube assembly is pulled out of the hole, the retaining strip 41 is pushed upward to release the constraint on the flap stop 42. After rotating the flap stop 42 by 45°, the retaining strip 41 is released freely. At this time, the guide block 3 420 blocks the arc-shaped slide groove 118. This operation can prevent the slide groove limiting flap group 1 31 from automatically returning to its position due to the release of the spring retaining assembly and the slide groove limiting flap group 2 32 from automatically returning to its position due to the restoration of the spring 14. At this time, the bottom ends of the slide groove limiting flap group 1 31 and the slide groove limiting flap group 2 32 are both located above the top of the retaining spring seat 51, which facilitates the screwing of the retaining spring seat 51 to realize the core removal operation.
[0068] After the core extraction is completed, the locking bar 41 is moved upwards, rotating the petal stop block 42 by 45°, freeing the locking bar 41 into the locking bar groove 213, thereby constraining the petal stop block 42. At this time, the guide block 3 420 deviates from the arc-shaped groove 118. During the lowering of the spring-lock assembly, the spring 14 gradually recovers its elastic deformation, pushing the coiled elastic pin 2 15 downwards. The coiled elastic pin 1 12 and the coiled elastic pin 2 15 move downwards synchronously, driving the groove limiting petal group 1 31 and the groove limiting petal group 2 32 to move downwards synchronously. When the coiled elastic pin 2 15 moves down to the bottom end of the outer groove 163, the bottom end of the groove limiting petal group 2 32 coincides with the bottom end of the retaining spring seat 51, realizing the reset of the groove limiting petal group 2 32. As the spring-loaded chuck assembly continues to be lowered, the elastic bushing outside the safety pin 215 undergoes slight elastic deformation, sliding upwards from the constricted neck position of the variable-diameter locking groove 312. At this point, the bottom end of the linkage joint 110 contacts the top end of the outer linkage frame 16, and the bottom end of the sliding groove limiting flap group 31 coincides with the bottom end of the snap ring seat 51. The sliding groove limiting flap group 31 resets, and the constricted neck position of the variable-diameter locking groove 312 prevents the safety pin 215 from moving downwards. The split-type inner tube assembly thus enters the positioning state. Continuing to lower the split-type inner tube assembly, the drilling fluid in the core inner tube 21 pushes open the valve plug 168, establishing a drilling fluid discharge channel, and the split-type inner tube assembly is successfully lowered. Once the suspension ring is attached to the seat ring, the spring-loaded chuck springs open to secure the split-type inner tube assembly. At this point, the wireline coring rig begins normal drilling and coring operations.
