Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil well logging technology, and in particular to a high-temperature direct-drive lithology density instrument for lithology density logging. It can be applied in horizontal well logging and solves the problem of density instruments sticking to the well wall. Background Technology

[0002] Density logging, also known as gamma-gamma logging, refers to the use of Cs-137 as a gamma source, which emits gamma rays with an energy of 0.66 MeV, as an important logging method for determining lithology and rock density. It is combined with sonic logging and neutron logging to form a series of lithological porosity logging methods.

[0003] When performing density logging using logging instruments, to ensure more accurate logging results, the instrument probe typically needs to be placed against the wellbore or against the mud cake on the wellbore. To effectively ensure the probe adheres to the wellbore, patent publication CN 115095291, entitled "A High-Temperature Direct-Push Lithology Density Instrument," discloses a high-temperature direct-push lithology density instrument, comprising a main body and a density probe. The main body has a receiving groove that mates with the density probe. The density probe has an upper connecting arm and a lower connecting arm at its two ends. The upper and lower connecting arms are hinged to the upper and lower connecting bodies via pin holes and pin shafts, respectively. The pin holes are elongated and slide against the pin shaft. A plate spring is also installed inside the receiving groove, with both ends sliding within the groove and the middle of the plate spring engaging with the middle of the density probe.

[0004] However, during use, it was found that in the above structure, the entire probe assembly relies solely on the leaf spring for elasticity, with only one contact point. The two sides are not subjected to force, which may affect the probe's contact effect and lead to deviations in the measurement results. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-temperature direct-drive lithological density instrument to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-temperature direct-drive lithological density instrument, comprising a main body and a density probe, wherein the main body is provided with a receiving groove that mates with the density probe, and an upper connecting arm and a lower connecting arm are respectively provided at both ends of the density probe; the upper connecting arm and the lower connecting arm are respectively hinged to the upper connecting body and the lower connecting body through a pin hole and a pin shaft; the pin hole is an elongated hole, and the pin hole and the pin shaft are slidably engaged;

[0007] A plate spring is also installed inside the receiving groove. The two ends of the plate spring are slidably connected inside the receiving groove, and the middle part of the plate spring is matched with the middle part of the density probe.

[0008] The feature is that it further includes a connecting arm spring and a pressure block; the connecting arm spring is S-shaped and has a toothed groove and an elongated hole at one end; the pressure block has a toothed groove and a bolt hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring receiving groove is provided on the main body, and the connecting arm spring and the pressure block are fixed in the spring receiving groove by bolts.

[0010] Furthermore: an attitude retainer is also provided on the main body; the attitude retainer is provided with spiral fins, and a misaligned keyway is provided at the end of the attitude retainer; the attitude retainer and the main body are connected by an insertion fit.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solution effectively solves the problem of insufficient support force of a single support spring (middle part), resulting in an unsatisfactory fit between the probe and the well wall, and poor measurement results. In this solution, the connecting arm spring structure is "S"-shaped, open on one side, fully fits the connecting arm, and releases support force evenly. The "spring mounting waist-shaped groove" and "tooth-shaped key" enable adjustable spring mounting position and secure locking without slippage; the change in mounting position realizes the change of the support point position, making the actual support force on the connecting arm adjustable, ensuring support force and rationality.
