AI Technical Summary
The existing petroleum logging instrument seekers are difficult to smoothly enter the well when the well is inclined and the well wall is irregular, and the balls are inconvenient to replace, resulting in increased costs and waste of time.
A petroleum logging instrument seeker is designed, which includes connecting blocks, drive shafts, multiple vertical stacked fixing rings and removable conical heads. The balls and conical heads are driven by the motor to rotate to adapt to irregular boreholes.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logging instrument guide heads, and particularly relates to an oil logging instrument guide head. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas exploration and development, logging is one of the important means to obtain geological data in oil and gas exploration engineering. After drilling is completed, a series of operations such as well flushing, logging, and sidewall coring are usually carried out to obtain formation-related parameters, etc. At present, logging is mainly carried out after the drilling is completed. The logging instrument is sent into the well by a cable, and the logging instrument enters the well by its own gravity and completes the logging task from bottom to top. To facilitate the downward movement of the logging instrument, a guide head is connected to the lower part of the logging instrument through an adapter.
[0003] At present, the conventional guide head of a logging instrument has a structure of a solid circular pipe column with a conical shape at the lower end. For example, in the utility model patent with the publication number CN220248076U, the downward movement of the guide head can be facilitated through the balls on the side wall of the guide head. Further, an assembly groove is opened on the outer side of the guide head body. The first rolling groove in the assembly groove can be used to place steel balls. Then, a retaining cover with a second rolling groove is installed on the assembly groove, so that the balls roll between the first rolling groove and the second rolling groove. Moreover, when the balls are damaged, they can be disassembled and replaced according to the position of the worn and damaged balls, without replacing the entire guide head body part. However, during the process of replacing the balls, a relatively large number of bolts need to be screwed, resulting in inconvenient disassembly and assembly. And in this patent, there are no movable parts on the guide head. If the well deviation angle of the wellbore is too large, the wellbore diameter is reduced, or the wellbore is irregular to form a step, the logging instrument cannot smoothly enter the well, and it is necessary to carry out well flushing and repeated treatment of drilling fluid many times to facilitate the entry of the logging instrument, which is likely to cause an increase in cost and waste of time, and even more serious complex situations in the well.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to design an oil logging instrument guide head that can overcome the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0010] A conical head is arranged at the lower end of the lowermost fixed ring and is detachably connected to the lower end of the drive shaft.
[0011] The object of the present utility model and the technical problems to be solved thereby can be further realized by adopting the following technical measures.
[0012] Further, a limiting strip parallel to the axis of the drive shaft is arranged on one side wall of the drive shaft. A through groove matching the limiting strip is formed in the inner wall of the fixed ring. The fixed ring and the drive shaft are clamped and connected through the through groove and the limiting strip.
[0013] Further, a threaded hole is formed in the middle of the upper surface of the conical head, and an external thread matching the threaded hole is arranged on the outer wall of the lower end of the drive shaft.
[0014] Further, a cavity is formed inside the connecting block. The motor is installed in the cavity. A through hole for the output shaft of the motor and the drive shaft to pass through is formed in the middle of the bottom wall of the cavity.
[0015] Further, a connecting head is arranged at the upper end of the connecting block, and the connecting head is in threaded connection with the petroleum logging instrument.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. For a guiding head of a petroleum logging instrument of the present utility model, by arranging a connecting block, a drive shaft, a plurality of fixed rings vertically stacked and sleeved on the drive shaft, and a conical head detachably connected to the lower end of the drive shaft, and evenly arranging grooves on the outer wall of the fixed ring and movably arranging balls in the ball grooves.

There is no need to replace the whole guiding head body, and there is no need to screw the screws, which is convenient to operate and saves time.
[0018] 2. A guide head for a petroleum logging instrument of the present utility model. By arranging a motor and a drive shaft, stacking and fixedly sleeving a fixing ring on the drive shaft, and installing a conical head at the lower end of the drive shaft, if the well deviation angle of the wellbore is too large, the wellbore wall is reduced in diameter, or the wellbore is irregular to form a step, the motor is turned on to drive the drive shaft to drive the fixing ring and the conical head to rotate. The protruding wellbore wall and wellbore are dredged through the rotating fixing ring, balls and conical head, so that the logging instrument can be smoothly lowered into the well, without multiple reaming and repeated treatment of drilling fluid, saving costs and operation time, and effectively avoiding the occurrence of complex situations.
