AI Technical Summary
Traditional anti-obstacle devices have a single function and cannot adapt to complex downhole environments. This makes them prone to obstruction during the lowering of logging instruments, causing accidents such as stuck drill bits, increasing mining costs and delaying the operation.
The design combines a buffer plate with a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor detects the well wall resistance and transmits the signal to the ground. Ground operators adjust the electric push rod to adjust the opening angle of the support rod, and use the support rollers to roll and contact the well wall to change the direction of the instrument's descent and avoid obstacles.
It enables efficient and safe deployment of logging instruments in complex downhole environments, ensuring that the instruments successfully reach the target formation and guaranteeing the efficient completion of the logging process.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil well logging technology, and in particular to a well logging anti-obstacle device. Background Technology
[0002] In oil well logging operations, wellbore conditions are complex and variable, frequently encountering problems such as wellbore collapse, diameter reduction, and foreign object adhesion, making it extremely easy for logging instruments to encounter obstacles during descent. Traditional methods of preventing obstruction often rely on operators' experience, controlling the descent speed via a surface winch, and only reacting when significant resistance is detected. This method has a significant time lag, easily leading to serious accidents such as stuck logging instruments, damaging expensive equipment, delaying operations, and increasing extraction costs. Currently available simple obstruction prevention devices have limited functionality, only capable of basic resistance sensing, and cannot adapt to the complex and variable downhole environment, failing to meet the demands of modern, efficient, and safe logging operations. Therefore, this paper presents an obstruction prevention device for well logging. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an obstacle avoidance device for well logging. The cylinder is lowered along with the logging instrument. Upon encountering an anomaly in the well wall, the buffer plate is blocked, compressing the buffer spring. Simultaneously, the buffer plate contacts the pressure sensor, causing the pressure sensor to detect an increase in pressure and promptly transmit the signal accurately to the surface operator. Based on the signal, the surface operator adjusts each electric push rod, using the extension and retraction of the electric push rods to adjust the opening angle of the support rod. The support rollers of the support rod roll in contact with the well wall, changing the instrument's lowering direction to avoid obstacles and ensuring the logging instrument is successfully lowered to the target formation. This ensures the entire logging process is completed efficiently and safely, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A well logging anti-obstacle device includes a cylinder, a groove at the lower end of the cylinder, elastic support structures evenly spaced at the groove, pressure sensors of the same number as the elastic support structures at the lower end of the cylinder, and adjustment mechanisms evenly spaced on the outer wall of the cylinder.
[0006] The adjustment mechanism includes a first connecting block fixed to the top of the outer wall of the cylinder, a support rod rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting block, a second connecting block fixed to the middle of the outer wall of the cylinder, an electric push rod rotatably connected to the end of the second connecting block, a third connecting block fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of one side of the support rod, and the lower end of the electric push rod rotatably connected to the third connecting block.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a support roller is installed at the lower end of the support rod.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the side wall of the cylinder is provided with arc-shaped rods at equal intervals.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the elastic support structure includes a buffer spring fixed inside the side of the groove, and a buffer plate is welded to the lower end of the buffer spring.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a guide rod is fixed in the middle of the upper end face of the buffer plate, and the guide rod is slidably inserted into the upper end of the groove.
[0011] As a further improvement of this invention, one end of each of the buffer plates is located above a pressure sensor.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a U-shaped mounting base is fixed to the upper end of the cylinder, and a fixing hole is provided on the horizontal section of the U-shaped mounting base.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a connecting rod is fixed between the two vertical sections of the U-shaped mounting base, a wire hole is opened in the middle of the connecting rod, and a vertical plate is fixed on the upper end face of the connecting rod on one side of the wire hole. A U-shaped clamping plate is slidably inserted into the vertical plate, and a support rod is fixed between the two inner walls of the U-shaped clamping plate. A fastening bolt is screwed into the middle of the support rod, and one end of the fastening bolt is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The cylinder is lowered along with the logging instrument. If it encounters an anomaly in the well wall, the buffer plate is blocked. At the same time, the buffer plate compresses the buffer spring and comes into contact with the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor detects an increase in pressure and transmits the signal accurately to the ground operator. The ground operator then controls each electric push rod according to the signal to adjust the opening angle of the support rod by extending and retracting the electric push rod. The support roller of the support rod rolls in contact with the well wall, changing the direction of the instrument's descent, avoiding obstacles, and ensuring that the logging instrument is successfully lowered to the target formation. This ensures that the entire logging process is completed efficiently and safely. Attached Figure Description
