Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of graduated cups, in particular to a reflective graduated cup with visual effects. Background Art

[0002] Lost circulation is a common and complex downhole accident in oil drilling, cementing, and downhole operations. Due to differences in the mechanisms and morphologies of leakage channels, the plugging materials and technologies used vary. To verify the effectiveness of plugging materials and develop more effective plugging solutions, simulation test devices are needed to simulate the downhole environment and leakage channels. Traditional plugging simulation devices often suffer from insufficient functionality, inconvenient operation, and low test accuracy, making them unable to meet the requirements of modern drilling technology for plugging material evaluation.

[0003] The traditional sand bed plugging simulation test device is to pour the 20-40 mesh filter sand of the 350cm sealing top cover 3 into a cylindrical transparent drilling fluid cup with a filter screen at the bottom, and then pour 500cm of drilling fluid from the upper part of the cup. The air source is connected to adjust the pressure to 0.69MPa, and the plugging ability of the drilling fluid system on the pores formed in the filter sand under the pressure difference of 0.69MPa is measured. The black scale reading value printed on the transparent cup reflects the penetration of the drilling fluid into the filter sand at the bottom of the cup. The smaller the sedimentation height of the drilling fluid penetrating into the filter sand, the stronger the drilling fluid plugging effect, and vice versa. However, after many tests, the scale on the drilling fluid cup was severely worn, and the dark brown color of the drilling fluid interfered with the scale reading, making it difficult to read the scale during the experiment or even incorrectly, affecting the accuracy of the detection. Therefore, corresponding improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions: Example 1

[0027] In order to solve the problem that the reflective scale of the existing reflective scale cup is easily worn and damaged as the number of uses increases, thus affecting the detection effect, the following technical solutions are announced. For details, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3A reflective scale cup with a visual effect includes a drilling fluid perspective cup body 1, a cup bottom cover 2, and a sealed top cover 3. The bottom of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 is connected to the cup bottom cover 2, and the top of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 is connected to the sealed top cover 3. The bottom end of the sealed top cover 3 is evenly provided with mounting grooves 13, and the interior of the mounting grooves 13 is connected to a light strip 14, and one side of the light strip 14 is connected to an adhesive strip, and the light strip 14 is detachably connected to the mounting groove 13 through the adhesive strip. It also includes: a reflective scale 9 is provided on the lower left side of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1, a reflective scale 2 10 is provided on the upper right corner of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1, and a reflective scale 10 is provided on the upper right corner of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1. The scale 1 (9) is for the filter sand injection amount, and the scale 2 (10) is for the mud injection amount. The outsides of the reflective scale 1 (9) and the reflective scale 2 (10) are coated with a reflective scale protective coating 11. The reflective scale protective coating 11 is a soft transparent coating made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The bottom end of the sealing top cover 3 is connected to the top cover sealing ring 5. The top of the sealing top cover 3 is provided with a mounting hole 301, and the interior of the mounting hole 301 is penetrated by an air intake pipe 8. The top of the cup bottom cover 2 is connected to a lower sealing block 4, and the lower sealing block 4 is made of rubber. The bottom end of the cup bottom cover 2 is connected to a filter loss pipe 7. The bottom end of the inside of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 is connected to a bottom filter screen 6.

[0028] When using this embodiment, the bottom filter screen 6 is installed in the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1, and the bottom of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 is sealed with the cup bottom cover 2, and the lower sealing block 4 is used to achieve sealing and blocking. Then, the filter sand is injected into the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 from the top of the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1, and the filter sand is placed above the bottom filter screen 6 to the reflective scale 9 position. Then, an appropriate amount of drilling fluid is injected into the filter sand in the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 to the reflective scale 10 position, and then the sealing top cover 3 is covered. The drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 is sealed with the top cover sealing ring 5, and then the air inlet pipe 8 is used to inject air into the drilling fluid perspective cup body 1. The drilling fluid perspective cup body 1 can be used to observe the penetration and plugging of the drilling fluid. The depth of the drilling fluid intrusion into the filter sand is read by the reflective scale 10. The plugging material in the drilling fluid will naturally fill the pores between the filter sands and accumulate in the process of immersing into the filter sands. The subsequent plugging material will continue to squeeze the naturally accumulated material to form a drilling fluid in the filter sand pores. Liquid sealing tape, as the strength of the sealing tape increases to reach the specified pressure, the upper drilling fluid will no longer be lost to the lower part. At this time, the sand bed invasion depth value can be obtained by reading the reflective scale. Among them, a light strip 14 is bonded to the mounting groove 13 on the sealing top cover 3 using an adhesive strip, so that the light strip 14 can be used for auxiliary lighting, so that the reflective scale 1 9 and the reflective scale 2 10 provide sufficient light, making the scale more clearly visible, avoiding reading errors in insufficient light, and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement point. In order to improve the safety and reliability, a reflective scale protective coating 11 is further coated on the reflective scale 1 9 and the reflective scale 2 10. The reflective scale protective coating 11 is a soft transparent coating with good adhesion and flexibility, so that it can be tightly adhered to the reflective scale 1 9 and the reflective scale 2 10 to form an effective protective film. The transparent property does not affect the visibility of the reflective scale 1 9 and the reflective scale 2 10, thereby ensuring the durability of the reflective scale 1 9 and the reflective scale 2 10, and ensuring clear scales and accurate readings.
