AI Technical Summary
Existing tuning fork density meters are prone to gas ingress during gas well measurements, leading to inaccurate readings. They also require frequent oil replenishment, affecting measurement accuracy and ease of use.
The device employs a bellows-type tuning fork sensor structure. The bellows is laser-welded to the sealing plug and the tuning fork sensor, and silicone oil is injected into the bellows. Dynamic pressure balance is achieved by utilizing the expansion or contraction of the silicone oil. At the same time, the outer shell is provided with a liquid inlet hole to directly contact the well fluid, thereby enhancing sensitivity.
It enables gas well measurements without gas leakage, reduces the need for frequent oil replenishment, and improves the sensitivity and accuracy of measurements.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to petroleum instrument tuning fork density meter, mainly is a bellows type tuning fork sensor structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, fluid density in oilfield logging generally adopts radioactive density meter, and the density meter has harm to human body and destroys environment because of radioactive substance. With the increase of environmental protection consciousness and the protection of staff's body, more and more oilfields in China have forbidden the use of radioactive density meter, and fluid density is a very important parameter in logging.
[0003] The common tuning fork density meter in market, as shown in Figure 1 The tuning fork sensor 5 and the sealing plug 2 are installed in the shell 9, and a silicone oil cavity 7 is formed between the two, the shell 9 is provided with a liquid inlet hole 6, the liquid inlet hole 6 is vacuumized, then the silicone oil is injected and sealed with a plug. During logging, the whole device is immersed in the well fluid, and the tuning fork sensor 5 moves back and forth with the change of well fluid temperature and pressure. However, in order to ensure the flexible movement of the tuning fork sensor, the O-ring 8 installed thereon is generally made of low hardness, which will cause the gas in the well fluid to enter, thereby affecting the measurement of the instrument.
[0004] As described above, the tuning fork density meter on the market is prone to gas entry during gas well measurement, which leads to inaccurate measurement, and frequent oil supplement is required during normal measurement, which is troublesome to use. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
