[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The downhole shooting tool 100 provided in the present disclosure includes an operating rod 1, a mounting frame 2, a shooting member 3 and a positioning support member 4, wherein the operating rod 1 has an operating end 11 and a connecting end 12, the connecting end 12 is used to extend into the well, the operating rod 1 is a telescopic rod, the mounting frame 2 is connected to the connecting end 12 of the operating rod 1, the mounting frame 2 has a plurality of mounting portions 21, the shooting member 3 is installed on the mounting portion 21, and is electrically connected to the control key 13 located on the operating rod 1, the shooting member 3 is used to shoot or record the readings of the instrument to be tested 200 located in the well, and the positioning support member 4 is set on the operating rod 1, and the positioning support member 4 is used to position and support the downhole shooting tool 100 in the well.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the operating rod 1 is configured as a telescopic rod to accommodate downhole meters 200 at different depths. The camera 3 is mounted on the mounting frame 2 and electrically connected to the control key 13 on the operating rod 1. The operator controls the camera 3 by operating the control key 13 to take photos or videos of the meter 200, facilitating the operator to quickly read the meter readings downhole.

This maintains the stability of the camera 3, facilitating alignment of the camera 3 with the meter 200 and capturing the meter readings. This also protects the camera 3 from external influences such as water flow.

[0034] It should be noted that the downhole shooting tool 100 provided in the present disclosure is waterproofed so that the downhole shooting tool 100 is suitable for underwater environments.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting frame 2 has multiple mounting parts 21, and the mounting parts 21 can also be connected to lighting components to facilitate operators to determine the position of the instrument to be tested 200 underground, and at the same time facilitate the shooting component 3 to clearly capture the readings of the instrument to be tested 200.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the downhole imaging tool 100 may further include a cleaning member 5 connected to the mounting bracket 2, and the cleaning member 5 is used to clean the instrument under test 200. With this arrangement, the cleaning member 5 cleans the instrument under test 200, preventing dirt on the instrument under test 200 from affecting the imaging effect of the imaging member 3.

[0037] Here, the cleaning member 5 can be configured as a cleaning brush, a cleaning cloth, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the downhole imaging tool 100 may further include a first drive motor 6 mounted on the mounting frame 2. The output shaft of the first drive motor 6 is in driving connection with the cleaning member 5 for driving the cleaning member 5 to rotate. In this manner, the first drive motor 6 drives the cleaning member 5 to rotate, and the rotating cleaning member 5 cleans the instrument under test 200, thereby ensuring a clear view of the instrument under test 200 and facilitating the imaging and reading of the instrument by the imaging member 3.

[0039] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting frame 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting end 12 of the operating rod 1, and the downhole shooting tool 100 may further include a mounting plate 7 and a second drive motor 8. The mounting plate 7 is arranged at the connecting end 12, and the second drive motor 8 is installed on the mounting plate 7 and the second drive motor 8 is used to drive the mounting frame 2 to rotate, so that the shooting member 3 can be switched between the shooting position and the non-shooting position, and the cleaning member 5 can be switched between the cleaning position and the non-cleaning position.

[0040] Specifically, the mounting plate 7 is connected to the connecting end 12 of the operating rod 1, the connecting end 12 of the operating rod 1 passes through the mounting plate 7, and the axial direction of the operating rod 1 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the mounting plate 7. The second drive motor 8 is installed on the mounting plate 7 and the output shaft of the second drive motor 8 is connected to the mounting frame 2 to drive the mounting frame 2 to rotate. Figure 1As shown, when the shooting member 3 is located at the shooting position in the first direction, the cleaning member 5 is located at the non-cleaning position in the second direction, and the second driving motor 8 is controlled by the control key 13 to drive the mounting frame 2 to rotate 90°, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the shooting member 3 rotates to the non-shooting position in the second direction, the cleaning member 5 rotates to the cleaning position in the first direction, the second drive motor 8 stops working, and the first drive motor 6 drives the cleaning member 5 to rotate, thereby cleaning the instrument to be tested. After cleaning, the second drive motor 8 is controlled by the control key 13 to reverse, and the mounting bracket 2 rotates 90° in the opposite direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the shooting member 3 is in a shooting position in a first direction, and the cleaning member 5 is in a non-cleaning position in a second direction. The shooting member 3 shoots the reading of the meter to be measured to complete the meter reading work.

[0041] Here, the first direction intersects the second direction, for example, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0042] In this way, the output shaft of the second drive motor 8 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, and the mounting bracket 2 is driven to rotate by the second drive motor 8, so that the positions of the cleaning member 5 and the shooting member 3 can be switched. After the cleaning member 5 is in the cleaning position to clean the instrument 200 to be tested, the second drive motor 8 drives the mounting bracket 2 to rotate, and the cleaning member 5 rotates to the non-cleaning position. At the same time, the shooting member 3 rotates to the shooting position to shoot the reading of the instrument 200 to be tested, which is conducive to clearly shooting the reading of the instrument 200 to be tested and effectively improving the efficiency of meter reading.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, a worm gear 22 may be provided on the mounting frame 2, and a worm 81 that cooperates with the worm gear 22 may be connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 8. The second drive motor 8 drives the mounting frame 2 to rotate via the worm gear 22 and the worm 81. With this arrangement, the transmission through the worm gear 22 and the worm 81 ensures that the second drive motor 8 stably drives the mounting frame 2 to rotate.

[0044] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting bracket 2 and the second driving motor 8 may also be driven by a bevel gear.

[0045] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the present disclosure, a control box 14 may be provided on the operating end 11, and the control box 14 is electrically connected to the control key 13. A control module 141 and a controller 142 are provided in the control box 14, and the control module 141 is electrically connected to the shooting element 3 (mobile phone 31), the first drive motor 6 and the second drive motor 8.

[0046] Specifically, the control key 13 includes a shooting key 131 and a flip key 132. The shooting key 131 is used to control the mobile phone 31 to shoot, and the flip key 132 is used to control the second drive motor 8 to drive the mounting bracket 2 to rotate. The control module 141 includes a Bluetooth module, which is connected to the mobile phone 31. Figure 4 As shown, the flip button 132 controls the first drive motor 6 and the second drive motor 8 via the controller 142 in the control box 14. Pressing the flip button 132 activates the first and second drive motors 6 and 8, driving the cleaning element 5 to rotate. The second drive motor 8 then rotates the mounting frame 2 90° before stopping. After the cleaning element 5 finishes cleaning the meter under test, the flip button 132 is pressed again, causing the second drive motor 8 to reverse, driving the mounting frame 2 90°, and simultaneously stopping the first drive motor 6. Pressing the capture button 131 causes the controller 142, electrically connected to the capture button 131, to send an electrical signal. The Bluetooth module in the control module 141 receives the signal and controls the mobile phone 31 to take a photo of the meter under test, thus completing the meter reading process. In this way, the operator can control the mounting frame 2 to rotate by pressing the flip button 132, thereby switching the positions of the capture element 3 and the cleaning element 5. Pressing the capture button 131 controls the capture element 3 (mobile phone 31) to take a photo of the meter under test 200, effectively simplifying the operation process and reducing operational difficulty.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the positioning support member 4 includes a plurality of positioning rods 41 arranged circumferentially around the instrument under test 200. The positioning rods 41 extend through the mounting plate 7, with the ends of the positioning rods 41 distal from the operating ends 11 adapted to contact the exterior of the instrument under test 200. The positioning rods 41 are used to determine the relative position of the downhole imaging tool 100 and the instrument under test 200. The positioning rods 41 extend through the mounting plate 7, with the ends of the positioning rods 41 distal from the operating ends 11 contacting the exterior of the instrument under test 200. This effectively reduces the impact of water flow on the downhole imaging tool 100 and ensures that the imaging member 3 captures the instrument under test 200 clearly and stably.

[0048] In the present disclosure, the mounting plate 7 is a square plate, and the number of positioning rods 41 is four, and the four positioning rods 41 are connected through the corners of the mounting plate 7. In other embodiments, the mounting plate 7 can be a circular plate, etc., and the number of positioning rods 41 can be one, two or any other number, as long as it is suitable for supporting and positioning.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a magnetic component is provided on the end of the positioning rod 41 away from the operating end 11, which is magnetically fixed to the metal shell of the instrument under test 200, thereby ensuring that the shooting component 3 can clearly and stably shoot the instrument under test 200.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, a dial pin 411 is provided on the end of the positioning rod 41 away from the operating end 11. The dial pin 411 is used to open the cover of the instrument under test 200. In this arrangement, the dial pin 411 opens the cover of the instrument under test 200, facilitating the cleaning unit 5 to clean the instrument under test 200 and the photographing unit 3 to photograph the reading of the instrument under test 200.

[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present disclosure, the camera 3 may include a mobile phone 31 and a mobile phone holder 32. The mobile phone holder 32 is connected to the mounting frame 2, and the mobile phone 31 is detachably mounted in the mobile phone holder 32. In this way, the mobile phone holder 32 secures the mobile phone 31, and the mobile phone 31 takes a photo of the meter reading under test 200, eliminating the need for operators to go down the well to read the meter, thereby effectively improving meter reading efficiency.

[0052] In other embodiments, the shooting component 3 may include a motion camera and a pan-tilt head, which is fixed on the mounting frame 2. The motion camera is used to shoot the meter to be tested, thereby completing the meter reading work.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to adapt the downhole shooting tool 100 to different depths of the well, the operating rod 1 includes a sleeved mounting tube 15 and an inner sleeve 16. The mounting tube 15 is formed with a first locking hole 151, and the inner sleeve 16 is provided with a plurality of second locking holes 161 along the axial direction.

[0054] The downhole shooting tool 100 further includes a threaded locking member 9 , which is used to selectively connect the first locking hole 151 and one of the plurality of second locking holes 161 .

[0055] In this way, after the sleeved mounting tube 15 and the inner casing 16 are moved to a length suitable for the well depth, the first locking hole 151 and the second locking hole 161 are connected by the threaded locking member 9, so that the downhole shooting tool 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to different well depths, thereby adapting to downhole instruments 200 to be tested at different depths.
