Due to the viewing angle, forward-looking single-channel cameras have certain limitations when observing and measuring the acquired well wall images. Therefore, we propose a downhole camera logging equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example: Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the utility model provides a downhole camera logging device, including an assembly platform 1, a control component 2 is provided on the top of the assembly platform 1, a drive component 3 is provided at the bottom of the assembly platform 1, the control component 2 includes a plurality of support plates 201, the bottom of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the assembly platform 1, the plurality of support plates 201 are evenly distributed around the axis of the assembly platform 1, the end of the support plate 201 away from the assembly plate 202 is hinged to the assembly plate 202, and the end of the assembly plate 202 away from the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 202. The fixed cylinder 203 is provided with a rotating roller 204, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 203. A guide wheel 205 is provided in the middle of the rotating roller 204, which is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 204. A mounting groove 206 is provided on the side of the assembly plate 202 close to the center of the assembly platform 1. A telescopic spring 207 is built into the mounting groove 206. A positioning ring 208 is provided on the end of the telescopic spring 207 away from the assembly plate 202. A plurality of connecting grooves 209 are provided around the positioning ring 208. A plurality of connecting grooves 209 are evenly distributed around the axis of the positioning ring 208, one end of the telescopic spring 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting groove 209, the top of the servo motor 301 is fixedly connected to the cable 302, the other end of the telescopic spring 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 206, the bottom of the positioning ring 208 is fixedly connected to the connecting belt 210, the end of the connecting belt 210 away from the positioning ring 208 is fixedly connected to the assembly table 1, and the assembly plate 202 is close to the center side of the assembly table 1. The telescopic spring in the mounting groove 206 Due to the elasticity of spring 207, telescopic spring 207 begins to stretch. It is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting groove 209 around the positioning ring 208, transmitting force to the positioning ring 208. After receiving the thrust of the spring, positioning ring 208 pushes the assembly plate 202 to rotate outward around the hinge point with the support plate 201. The rotation of the assembly plate 202 drives the fixed cylinder 203 and the rotating roller 204 to move, causing the guide wheel 205, which is sleeved on the middle part of the rotating roller 204, to gradually approach and eventually contact the well wall. Because the multiple support plates 201 are evenly distributed around the axis of the assembly platform 1, the multiple guide wheels 205 can evenly contact the well wall under the action of the telescopic springs 207, providing support for the equipment and ensuring its stability underground.

[0024] Furthermore, a pair of servo motors 301 are provided in the drive assembly 3. The output end of the servo motor 301 faces the assembly platform 1. Both sides of the servo motor 301 are in contact with and fixedly connected to the assembly platform 1. A drive roller 303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 301. The end of the drive roller 303, which is remote from the servo motor 301, extends through the assembly platform 1 to the bottom of the assembly platform 1. A rotating bearing 304 is sleeved on the surface of the drive roller 303. The drive roller 303 is rotatably connected to the assembly platform 1 via the rotating bearing 304. A camera 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive roller 303. The output end of the motor drives the drive roller 303 to rotate. The driving roller 303 rotates relative to the assembly platform 1 via the rotating bearing 304, reducing frictional resistance during rotation. When the drive roller 303 rotates, the camera 305 connected to its bottom moves downward with the rotation of the drive roller 303. At the same time, the camera 305 has its own rotation function or, through a special connection structure with the drive roller 303, can achieve rotational capture during the downward movement. The captured images can be transmitted and stored for subsequent splicing processing.

[0025] Working Principle: When using this device, the equipment is lowered into the well. Due to the elastic effect of the telescopic spring 207 in the mounting groove 206 on the side of the assembly plate 202 near the center of the assembly platform 1, the telescopic spring 207 begins to expand. The telescopic spring 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting groove 209 around the positioning ring 208, transmitting force to the positioning ring 208. After being pushed by the spring, the positioning ring 208 pushes the assembly plate 202 to rotate outward around the hinge point with the support plate 201. The rotation of the assembly plate 202 drives the fixed cylinder 203 and the rotating roller 204 to move, causing the guide wheel 205 connected to the middle of the rotating roller 204 to gradually approach and eventually contact the well wall. Because the multiple support plates 201 are evenly distributed around the axis of the assembly platform 1, the multiple guide wheels 205 can evenly contact the well wall under the action of the telescopic spring 207, providing support for the equipment and ensuring its stability underground.

[0026] After servo motor 301 is activated, the motor's output drives drive roller 303 to rotate. Drive roller 303 rotates relative to assembly platform 1 via rotary bearing 304, reducing frictional resistance during rotation. As drive roller 303 rotates, camera 305, connected to its base, moves downward as the drive roller 303 rotates. Camera 305, either equipped with its own rotational capabilities or through a special connection structure with drive roller 303, can capture rotational images during its downward movement. The captured images can be transmitted and stored for subsequent splicing. By stitching together multiple images, the overall wellbore situation can be captured, enabling well measurement.

[0027] Multiple evenly distributed guide wheels 205 provide support and contact with the wellbore wall, forming a stable structural system. Driven by telescopic springs 207, the guide wheels 205 automatically adjust their position based on the actual wellbore wall conditions, ensuring stable support in all directions. This effectively resists various interfering forces in the complex downhole environment and improves measurement accuracy. The camera 305's rotating shooting function significantly expands the shooting range and reduces blind spots. This enables the acquisition of more comprehensive and rich downhole image information, providing a sufficient data foundation for subsequent precise stitching and measurement.

[0028] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
