Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil drilling engineering technology, specifically to the transmission device and method of a rotary pulse generator for downhole high-pressure measurement while drilling. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of large oilfields, drilling depths are increasing, formation conditions are becoming more complex, and the number of easily exploitable oil and gas layers is decreasing. To optimize wellhead location layout, the number of deep wells is increasing year by year. During deep well drilling and production, the bottom hole circulating temperature generally exceeds 175℃, and the bottom hole pressure exceeds 150MPa, which places higher demands on the operational stability of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) instruments. Among these, the rotary pulse generator, as a crucial structure in the MWD system for controlling the flow into the bottom hole, has a transmission device whose operational stability directly affects the speed and accuracy of well condition signal transmission.
[0003] As drilling depths continue to increase, rotary pulsers face the high pressure, strong impacts, and complex chemical environments of deep well operations, placing higher demands on the stability of their transmission mechanisms. Furthermore, in deep well environments, the transmission mechanisms in rotary pulsers must withstand higher static pressures, requiring greater structural strength. Currently, the transmission devices in rotary pulse generators mainly include servo systems, hydraulic transmission systems, and pneumatic transmission systems. These systems are directly installed inside the mounting cylinder. Since the mounting cylinder has limited pressure resistance, a pressure-bearing sleeve is often added to the outside of the mounting cylinder to increase the strength of the transmission device. The pressure-bearing sleeve and the mounting cylinder cooperate to form a casing that can withstand the high pressure in deep wells. However, in the deep well operation environment, the high pressure and high temperature environment will cause the casing of the transmission device to be subjected to increased stress and thermal deformation, which will cause the transmission shaft to deform. This will result in insufficient strength of the transmission device, leading to problems such as increased equipment noise and decreased measurement accuracy. Moreover, the high sulfur environment will exacerbate the corrosion of the casing, further reducing the strength of the casing. Therefore, the mechanical impact and vibration during drilling under high pressure, high temperature, and high sulfur are more obvious, causing the transmission device of the rotary pulse generator to jam in the deep well environment, resulting in the rotary pulse generator being unable to operate continuously and stably in deep wells. Summary of the Invention

[0014] This invention proposes a method for using a rotary pulse generator drive device for downhole high-pressure measurement while drilling, comprising the following steps: Step 1: The electronic components on the circuit board skeleton receive control signals from the ground control center and convert the control signals into PWM wave signals to control the rotation of the motor. Step 2: The motor mechanism acquires a PWM wave signal to operate, driving the flexible coupling to rotate. The flexible coupling drives the inner magnet to rotate, and the rotating inner magnet cuts the outer magnet to generate a magnetic field signal. Step 3: The electronic components on the circuit board frame receive the magnetic field signal and transmit it to the ground control center.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: This invention proposes a rotary pulse generator transmission device for downhole high-pressure measurement while drilling (MSD). The tight connection between the external pressure-bearing structure, the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder, and the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder ensures the stability and reliability of the entire transmission device in the downhole high-pressure environment, improves the device's pressure resistance, and provides robust protection for its internal components, effectively extending the equipment's service life. The circuit board frame mechanism, motor mechanism, flexible coupling, and reducer make the entire transmission system's operation smoother and energy transfer more efficient. The motor mechanism is connected to the circuit board frame mechanism via the flexible coupling, achieving smooth power transmission while reducing energy loss due to vibration and impact. The reducer further regulates the motor's output speed, meeting the precise speed control requirements during MSD. The ingeniously designed magnetic shielding mechanism generates a magnetic field signal by rotating an inner magnet that cuts the magnetic field of an outer magnet, achieving non-contact signal transmission. This not only improves the stability and accuracy of signal transmission but also avoids the wear and malfunctions that may exist in traditional contact transmission methods. The presence of the magnetic shielding mechanism effectively isolates the magnetic field generated by the motor from interfering with the electronic components in the circuit board skeleton, ensuring the normal operation of the entire system. This allows the transmission device of the present invention to maintain stable and efficient operation even under high pressure, strong impact, and complex chemical environments, maximizing the accuracy of the rotary pulse generator signal transmission and reception, and ensuring the efficient conduct of well logging work. Compared with traditional transmission devices, its advantages are mainly that the connection between the reducer pressure cylinder and the driver pressure cylinder in the external pressure-bearing mechanism can increase the connection stability and sealing of the pressure-bearing structure, maximizing the protection of the transmission device in a suitable static pressure environment; the use of a flexible coupling reduces the speed fluctuation of the motor under strong impact environments, thereby ensuring the generation accuracy of the pressure pulse signal; and the magnetic shielding mechanism reduces the influence of the magnetic field generated by the motor rotation on the pulse signal, maximizing the encoding accuracy of the pressure pulse signal. Thus, this transmission device can ensure the operational stability of the transmission system and isolate the influence of the motor magnetic field on the pulse signal, thereby ensuring the testing accuracy of the rotary pulse generator.
[0016] Furthermore, this transmission device, by setting a first trapezoidal groove at the end of the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder and a trapezoidal platform at the end of the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder, and then installing the trapezoidal platform into the first trapezoidal groove, achieves an effective connection between the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder and the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder, forming an integral cylindrical cylinder. This enhances the structural stability and pressure resistance. The tight and firm fit between the trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal platform effectively resists pressure from all directions, ensuring the stable operation of the entire system under high pressure. This simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency. Traditional connection methods may require complex assembly steps and additional fasteners, while this transmission device, through the direct fit between the trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal platform, simplifies the assembly process, reduces installation time and cost. The tight fit between the trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal platform effectively prevents liquid or gas leakage, ensuring that the internal medium of the system does not leak out, thereby guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the system. By setting the first trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal platform at the ends of the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder and the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder respectively, and achieving their tight fit, not only is the stability and pressure resistance of the system improved and the installation process simplified, but the sealing performance of the system is also enhanced.
[0017] Furthermore, this transmission device features an annular groove on a trapezoidal platform, within which a first sealing ring is installed. This ensures the outer wall of the first sealing ring fits tightly against the inner wall of the trapezoidal groove, enhancing the sealing performance at the connection between the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder and the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder. The addition of the first sealing ring effectively prevents liquid or gas leakage under high-pressure conditions, ensuring a dry and clean working environment inside the transmission device. This helps maintain the normal operation of internal components, reduces performance degradation or failure risks caused by leakage, and improves the reliability and durability of the entire system under extreme environments. In addition, the use of the first sealing ring reduces reliance on additional fasteners, simplifies the assembly process, and improves production efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
[0018] Furthermore, this transmission device features an annular sealing groove on the outer wall of the magnetic shielding housing, and a second sealing ring is installed within this groove. This ensures that the outer wall of the second sealing ring fits tightly against the inner wall of the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder, significantly improving the sealing effect between the magnetic shielding mechanism and the reducer's pressure-resistant cylinder. The addition of the second sealing ring effectively prevents the penetration of media (such as liquids or gases) under high pressure, ensuring the stability and purity of the magnetic field inside the magnetic shielding mechanism. This is crucial for improving the accuracy and reliability of magnetic field signal transmission. The excellent sealing performance also protects the magnetic shielding mechanism from external environmental corrosion, extending the equipment's service life. By using a second sealing ring, the assembly process is simplified, and maintenance costs caused by poor sealing are reduced.
[0019] Furthermore, the circuit board skeleton, serving as the core support structure, is securely installed within the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder. This not only provides a solid mounting platform for the circuit board but also ensures the stable operation of circuit components under high-pressure conditions. One end of the circuit board skeleton is tightly connected to the motor mechanism, enabling efficient power transmission and accurate signal reception, providing reliable data support for drilling measurements. The driver plug enhances the overall structural strength of the circuit board skeleton mechanism and also provides a good seal, effectively preventing media leakage under high-pressure conditions and ensuring a dry and clean internal environment. The presence of the driver plug also provides additional protection for the circuit board skeleton mechanism, reducing the risk of damage caused by external impacts or vibrations. The driver expansion ring improves the stability and reliability of the circuit board skeleton mechanism. Installed between the circuit board skeleton and the driver plug, the driver expansion ring, through its unique tensioning action, ensures a tight fit between the circuit board skeleton and the driver's pressure-resistant cylinder, effectively preventing performance degradation or failure risks caused by loosening or displacement. This improves the overall performance of the transmission device and provides strong support for the long-term stable operation of the equipment, reducing the impact of strong impact environments on the transmission system and ensuring the stable operation of the motor.
[0020] Furthermore, the circuit board frame in this transmission device includes a mounting bracket, a first connecting block, a second connecting block, an annular mounting groove, and a rigid annular pad. The mounting bracket, as the main structure of the circuit board frame, provides a stable support platform for the circuit board, ensuring the normal operation of the circuit components in complex environments. The first and second connecting blocks are located at opposite ends of the mounting bracket, connecting the circuit board frame to other components and optimizing the force transmission path, thus improving the overall stability and reliability of the structure. The connection between the first connecting block and the driver plug effectively fixes the circuit board frame mechanism to the driver's anti-pressure cylinder, enhancing the overall rigidity of the system and reducing the impact of vibration or... The performance fluctuations caused by impact are mitigated by the precise fit and stable force transmission between the second connecting block and the motor mechanism, ensuring that the power output of the motor can be efficiently transmitted to the circuit board frame, thereby achieving precise control of measurement while drilling. The annular mounting groove on the outer wall of the second connecting block and its internal rigid annular pad enhance the connection strength between the circuit board frame and the motor mechanism. The addition of the rigid annular pad not only increases the stability of the contact and effectively disperses the stress at the connection, avoiding the risk of damage caused by stress concentration, but also improves the durability of the circuit board frame mechanism and provides a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the entire transmission device in the high-pressure environment downhole.
[0021] Furthermore, the motor mechanism in this transmission device includes a motor, a motor vibration isolation sleeve, and a motor connector. The motor is installed inside the motor vibration isolation sleeve, which provides excellent protection and support for the motor. The vibration isolation sleeve also effectively reduces vibration and noise generated during motor operation, improving the stability and reliability of the entire transmission device. The motor's output shaft is directly connected to a flexible coupling, achieving smooth power transmission and precise control. The flexible coupling can absorb and compensate for axial, radial, and angular deviations caused by installation errors, temperature changes, or load variations, thus ensuring the stability and durability of the connection between the motor and the circuit board frame. The motor connector enables electrical connection and data transmission between the motor and the circuit board frame. The motor connector not only has excellent conductivity and signal transmission capabilities but also, through its unique design, ensures the robustness and reliability of the connection between the motor and the circuit board frame, simplifying the assembly process, reducing maintenance costs, and significantly improving the power transmission efficiency, vibration control capability, and electrical connection stability of the transmission device.
[0022] This invention proposes a method for using a rotary pulse generator drive device for downhole high-pressure measurement while drilling. This method utilizes electronic components on a circuit board frame mechanism to receive control signals from a surface control center. These signals are processed and converted into PWM wave signals to control the motor's rotation, ensuring accurate transmission of control commands. Upon receiving the PWM wave signal, the motor mechanism begins operation, with its output shaft driving a flexible coupling. The flexible coupling, with its excellent elasticity and compensation capabilities, effectively transmits the motor's power and ensures smooth and precise rotation. As the flexible coupling rotates, the inner magnet also rotates, cutting the magnetic field of the outer magnet to generate a magnetic field signal. This achieves non-contact signal transmission and improves signal transmission stability and anti-interference capabilities. The electronic components on the circuit board frame mechanism again play a role, receiving and processing the magnetic field signal generated by the rotation of the inner magnet, and then transmitting these signals to the surface control center. This enables real-time uploading of downhole data, providing the surface control center with accurate and timely downhole information, facilitating precise monitoring and adjustment of the drilling process. Therefore, the method proposed in this invention achieves remote and precise control of downhole equipment and real-time data transmission, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of measurement while drilling.
