Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum engineering Internet of Things, and provides a multifunctional offshore oil field portable networking CPE device. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of offshore oilfield communication networks, a certain number of communication base stations have been deployed on land and at sea to achieve effective coverage of available networks and efficient transmission of operating data.

[0003] We have achieved full 4G coverage at sea, on land, in gathering and transportation stations, and in factory areas, and built an integrated land and sea office network.

[0004] Fixed remote access stations (CPE) are installed on the oil production platforms and drilling platforms around the offshore base station, and connected to the oilfield network through the central base station. The remote access station (CPE) uses its own WIFI technology to achieve wireless coverage of the entire platform or wired CPE access to the network.

[0005] Install CPE at a commanding point on the side of the ship (usually the top of the mast), and the operating ship will automatically connect to the central platform base station and the oilfield intranet during navigation or anchoring operations.

[0006] Since offshore oilfield operations cover a wide range, the equipment and sensors that need to be deployed during operations are not limited to the vicinity of the platform. Some operations and maintenance operations also require personnel to go to areas without fixed network coverage to monitor equipment or collect data.

[0007] However, it is too costly to cover a wide operating range by adding fixed base stations, and there is an urgent need to design a portable networking device. Summary of the invention

[0008] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and proposes a multifunctional offshore oil field portable networking CPE device.

[0009] The offshore oilfield operation area is wide, and some equipment and sensors are deployed in areas without fixed base stations or CPE network coverage, making it difficult to access the Internet flexibly; it is difficult for operators to interact with the onshore center in real time for network data and voice and video information in areas without fixed network coverage; the location of personnel during the operation cannot be grasped by the onshore center, etc. By integrating functions such as 4G and WIFI portable conversion, video acquisition and transmission, real-time voice interaction, and GPS / Beidou dual-mode positioning into portable CPE devices, it provides offshore oilfield operators with flexible wireless networking, real-time video return, efficient voice interaction, accurate personnel positioning, and rich information application service support, effectively improving the efficiency, reliability, and safety of offshore oilfield production and operation and maintenance processes.

[0010] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] A multifunctional offshore oilfield portable networking CPE device comprises a CPU processor and a human-computer interaction module, wherein the human-computer interaction module is connected to the CPU processor for communication control, and further comprises a network conversion module, a communication module and a mobile power management module, wherein the network conversion module, the communication module and the mobile power management module are all connected to the CPU processor for communication control.

[0012] Furthermore, the communication module is equipped with a 4G industrial Internet of Things card for providing Internet connection.

[0013] Furthermore, the network conversion module is used to convert the network of the communication module into a wifi network.

[0014] Furthermore, the mobile power management module is used to provide power to each energy supply module.

[0015] Furthermore, the communication module is also connected to an antenna controller and an antenna in sequence.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a video input module, which is connected to the CPU processor.

[0017] Furthermore, the video input module is used to obtain on-site video information.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning module, which is connected to the CPU processor and is equipped with a GPS and Beidou positioning chip.

[0019] Furthermore, the positioning module is used to obtain location information of the CPE device.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a voice transceiver module and a voice broadcast module, and the voice transceiver module and the voice broadcast module are connected to the human-computer interaction module.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. Offshore oil fields have a wide operating area, and some equipment is deployed outside the oil and gas platforms where there is no network coverage. The construction and maintenance costs are high when laying networks in all areas. Mobile CPE can connect these devices to the network at a lower cost.

[0023] 2. Some equipment needs to be carried by operators. During business use, these devices need to be connected to the Internet to interact with the server. However, the network setting process of some equipment is complicated and cannot adaptively switch networks. Pairing with mobile CPE for carrying and operation is more efficient.

[0024] 3. For some sensor devices that do not require high real-time performance, they can sense and store data when there is no network, and upload data in batches when an adapted mobile CPE is close and connected to the network. This does not require the deployment of a fixed network or long-term deployment of CPE, effectively reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0025] 4. When personnel are working at sea, the risk is greater than working on land. The portable CPE can synchronously transmit audio and video information to the onshore center. Operation and maintenance personnel can form a voice group for real-time interaction to facilitate communication on business work. At the same time, the CPE is equipped with GPS / Beidou dual-mode positioning function, which makes it easier for the onshore center to grasp the location of offshore workers in real time and ensure their safety.
