AI Technical Summary
Existing downhole vibration damping devices are ineffective in suppressing high-frequency impact vibrations and nonlinear vibrations in complex and variable downhole environments. They are also prone to wear under high temperature and high pressure conditions and lack effective overload protection, thus failing to meet the drilling needs of deep and complex formations.
The downhole gyro damper, driven by a turbine speed-up and magnetic drive coupling, converts the kinetic energy of drilling fluid into mechanical energy through a power system consisting of an axial turbine and a circular arc flat blade guide wheel. It uses a magnetic drive mechanism to achieve contactless torque transmission, and increases the rotational speed and protects the transmission components through a protection speed-up mechanism and a ratchet protection mechanism. Combined with the gyro assembly, it generates a reverse gyro torque to suppress vibration.
It achieves efficient vibration reduction under complex downhole working conditions, improves tool life and vibration reduction performance, avoids mechanical wear and overload damage, and is suitable for downhole non-electrical working environments.
