[0033] As shown in Figure 1 The hanging logging instrument of the present application comprises a logging instrument main body 10 and a rib plate group, the rib plate group is arranged on the top outer layer of the logging instrument main body 10 and connected by a rotating pin, and the rib plate group is rotated within a certain range to change the diameter of the logging instrument main body 10. The logging instrument main body 10 is provided with a first sliding groove 110 and a second sliding groove 120, the first sliding groove 110 and the second sliding groove 120 are arranged above and below, the rib plate group comprises a rib plate main plate 21 and a rib plate auxiliary plate 22, the rib plate main plate 21 is connected to the logging instrument main body 10 by a rotating pin, and a third sliding groove 210 with the same dovetail groove structure as the first sliding groove 110 is arranged on the outer side of the rib plate main plate 21, the inner side of the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 protrudes and extends a sliding part matched with the third sliding groove 210 and the first sliding groove 110, and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 is slidingly connected to the third sliding groove 210 of the rib plate main plate 21 through the sliding part. When the rib plate main plate 21 is unfolded, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide from the rib plate main plate 21 into the first sliding groove 110 and the second sliding groove 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, the logging instrument can be hung on the device in the drilling tool through the unfolding of the rib plate group, and then be recovered from the drilling tool by rotating and adhering to the logging instrument main body 10. Specifically, when the device for pushing the rib plate group in the logging instrument main body 10 is damaged after the rib plate group is unfolded, the rib plate main plate 21 and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 are always in the unfolded state. When the logging instrument is forcibly taken out, the drilling tool can resist the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 and cut the fixed column 30. At this time, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide relative to the rib plate main plate 21 from the third sliding groove 210 outside the rib plate main plate 21 to the first sliding groove 110 and the second sliding groove 120, so that the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 returns to the inside of the logging instrument main body 10. At this time, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 is completely slid into the second sliding groove 120, and the diameter of the plurality of unfolded rib plate main plates 21 is less than or equal to the diameter of the logging instrument main body 10, so that the logging instrument can be taken out from the drilling tool as a whole.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the rib plate main plate 21 after unfolding is located in the logging instrument main body 10, and the diameter of the plurality of unfolded rib plate main plates 21 is less than or equal to the diameter of the logging instrument main body 10. In this way, when the rib plate main plate 21 is always in the unfolded state and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 slides to the second sliding groove 120, the logging instrument can be safely and intact taken out from the drilling tool due to the diameter of the plurality of unfolded rib plate main plates 21 being less than or equal to the diameter of the logging instrument main body 10.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, it further includes a spring, the rib plate main plate 21 is rotatably connected at the top end in the logging instrument main body 10, can rotate towards the outside of the logging instrument main body 10, and the top end in the logging instrument main body 10 is provided with a spring mounting hole towards the rib plate main plate 21, the spring mounting hole is located outside the main plate rotation position, and can resist the rib plate main plate 21 rotating towards the inside of the logging instrument main body 10. The rib plate group is rotatably connected at the top end in the logging instrument main body 10, can rotate towards the outside of the logging instrument main body 10, and the top end in the logging instrument main body 10 is provided with a spring mounting hole towards the rib plate group, the spring mounting hole is located outside the rib plate group rotation position, and can resist the rib plate main plate 21 rotating towards the inside of the logging instrument main body 10. Wherein, the rib plate main plate 21 is fixed by the top end rotatable connection, and the rib plate group can rotate towards the outside of the logging instrument main body 10, can be self-adapted according to the size and shape of the wellbore, and ensure that the logging instrument can be stably hung in the well.

[0037] The push rod 4 in the logging instrument main body 10 can push the inner side of the rib plate group to expand the rib plate group towards the outside of the sleeve body, and when the push rod in the logging instrument main body 10 is away from the rib plate group, the rib plate group has no power to recover, so the spring mounting hole is opened at the top end of the sleeve body, and the embedded spring is always in a compressed state, which can provide a reaction force to push the rib plate group into the logging instrument main body 10.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a fixed column 30, the outer side of the rib plate main plate 21 is also provided with a fixed groove, the opening direction of the fixed groove is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the third sliding groove 210, and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 is provided with a through fixed hole along the length direction of the vertical sliding part, the fixed hole corresponds to the fixed groove, the fixed column 30 passes through the fixed hole to the fixed groove, and the rib plate main plate 21 and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 are fixed. When the logging instrument passes through the drilling tool, if the rib plate group is always in an expanded state, the drilling tool will resist the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 and cut the fixed column 30 when the logging instrument is forcibly pulled out, at this time, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide relative to the rib plate main plate 21 from the third sliding groove 210 outside the rib plate main plate 21 to the first sliding groove 110 and the second sliding groove 120, so that the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 returns to the inside of the logging instrument main body 10, and the whole logging instrument is taken out. Specifically, the outer side of the rib plate main plate 21 is provided with a third sliding groove 210, and the inner side of the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 has a sliding part matched with the third sliding groove 210, so that the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide in the third sliding groove 210 relative to the rib plate main plate 21. When the rib plate main plate 21 is expanded, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide from the rib plate main plate 21 to the first sliding groove 110 and the second sliding groove 120, so that the rib plate auxiliary plate 221 can be recovered into the logging instrument main body 10 when the rib plate main plate 21 is expanded, thereby reducing the diameter of the whole rib plate. The outer side of the rib plate main plate 21 is also provided with a fixed groove, and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 has a fixed hole corresponding to the fixed groove, and the rib plate main plate 21 and the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 are fixed together by the columnar fixed column 30, so as to avoid the sliding of the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 relative to the rib plate main plate 21. When the logging instrument passes through the drilling tool, if the push rod 4 or the transmission screw is damaged and the rib plate is stuck at the outlet position of the drilling tool, the problem can be solved by forcibly pulling out the logging instrument. At this time, the drilling tool will resist the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 and cut the fixed column 30, and since the fixed column 30 is cut, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide relative to the rib plate main plate 21 and be recovered into the logging instrument main body 10, so as to ensure that the logging instrument can be smoothly taken out in an emergency.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the shear force of the fixed column 30 is smaller than the pushing force when the rib plate group is expanded.

[0040] In an embodiment, the second sliding groove 120 and the third sliding groove 210 are inclined at an angle relative to the length direction of the logging instrument main body 10, and the angle of the second sliding groove 120 and the third sliding groove 210 is equal to the angle of the outer side plane of the rib plate main plate 21 when unfolded.

[0041] In an embodiment, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 is in a pointed structure, the upper side is connected with the first sliding groove 110, the inner side of the second sliding groove 120 is in communication with the outer side of the first sliding groove 110, and the outer side of the second sliding groove 120 is in an exposed state. The variable-diameter hanging logging instrument can be hung. Specifically, the third sliding groove 210 with the same dovetail groove structure as the first sliding groove 110 is formed on the outer side of the rib plate main plate 21, and the inner side of the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 protrudes and extends a sliding part matched with the structure of the third sliding groove 210 and the first sliding groove 110, and the cross section of the sliding part is in an isosceles trapezoidal shape. In addition, when the rib plate main plate 21 is unfolded, the third sliding groove 210 corresponds to the first sliding groove 110 and is located on the same straight line. The sliding part on the inner side of the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 is embedded in the third sliding groove, so that the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide in the third sliding groove 210 relative to the rib plate main plate 21. When the rib plate main plate 21 is unfolded, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 can slide from the rib plate main plate 21 into the first sliding groove 110 and the second sliding groove 120, so that when the rib plate main plate 21 is in an unfolded state, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 slides into the sleeve hanging main body, thereby reducing the diameter of the rib plate as a whole. In addition, the rib plate auxiliary plate 22 is in a pointed structure, and the variable-diameter hanging logging instrument can be hung.

[0042] In an embodiment, the outer side of the second sliding groove 120 is inclined at an angle greater than the inner side.

[0043] In an embodiment, the inner side of the rib plate main plate 21 is in a streamline structure.

[0044] In an embodiment, the unfolded rib plate group is inclined at an angle relative to the logging instrument main body 10 and extends in a direction away from the end of the logging instrument main body 10.
