Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of geophysical exploration equipment, and in particular to a device for improving the low-frequency performance of a controllable seismic source. Background Technology
[0002] Controlled seismic sources are the primary equipment used to generate artificially induced seismic waves. Currently, conventional controlled seismic sources operate at full-load frequencies exceeding 6 Hz. The resulting seismic waves have weak penetration capabilities through specific geological formations, and the reflected signal imaging quality does not meet geophysical requirements. In contrast, low-frequency signals have strong penetration capabilities, making them highly effective for improving reservoir resolution, full-field inversion, enhancing deep imaging quality, and directly detecting oil and gas. Low-frequency controlled seismic source technology arose to meet the requirements of geophysical exploration, becoming a key piece of equipment in low-frequency geophysical exploration. Meeting the quality requirements of low-frequency signals in geophysical exploration is crucial for the development of low-frequency controlled seismic sources.
[0003] Currently, the low-frequency extension of low-frequency sources is also focused on the stroke and flow rate of the vibrator hammer. Increasing the stroke of the vibrator hammer can improve the low-frequency output, while the flow rate of the hydraulic system has become the main factor restricting the low-frequency output. Therefore, increasing the low-frequency flow supply of the system has become the main technical bottleneck of low-frequency controllable sources.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that since there are still a large number of controllable vibration sources, their structural design makes it difficult to meet the current low-frequency vibration performance requirements. Directly replacing them or improving their main equipment would result in a lot of waste and cumbersome operations. Utility Model Content

A high-pressure oil replenishment component is provided on one side of the pipe assembly, and a low-pressure oil replenishment component is provided on the other side of the pipe assembly. The pipe assembly replenishes the high-pressure oil inside the high-pressure oil replenishment component to the high-pressure oil port of the counterweight, and replenishes the low-pressure oil inside the low-pressure oil replenishment component to the low-pressure oil port of the counterweight. A servo valve is provided on the pipe assembly.
[0008] Optionally, the manifold assembly includes a manifold body, on which a high-pressure oil passage is provided, connecting the high-pressure oil port of the servo valve to the high-pressure oil port of the counterweight, and also connecting the high-pressure oil passage to the high-pressure oil replenishment component; the manifold body also has a low-pressure oil passage, connecting the low-pressure oil port of the servo valve to the low-pressure oil port of the counterweight, and also connecting the low-pressure oil passage to the low-pressure oil replenishment component.

[0011] Optionally, the high-level high-pressure energy storage tank is a 10 cubic inch high-pressure energy storage device; the low-level high-pressure energy storage tank is a 1-gallon high-pressure energy storage device.
[0012] Optionally, the low-pressure oil replenishment assembly includes a low-pressure energy storage device, and a low-pressure replenishment oil passage is provided on the pipeline assembly. One end of the low-pressure replenishment oil passage is connected to the low-pressure energy storage device, and the other end of the low-pressure replenishment oil passage is connected to the low-pressure oil passage.

[0014] Optionally, the high-level low-pressure energy storage tank is a 10 cubic inch high-pressure energy storage device; the low-level low-pressure energy storage tank is a 1-gallon high-pressure energy storage device.

[0026] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0029] This application discloses a device for improving the low-frequency performance of a controllable vibration source. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A controllable vibration source low-frequency performance improvement device includes a pipe assembly 1, one side of which is fixedly connected to a counterweight, and a servo valve 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the pipe assembly 1 opposite to the counterweight. A high-pressure oil replenishment component 3 is provided on one side of the pipe assembly 1, which is used to replenish the high-pressure oil of the counterweight. A low-pressure oil replenishment component 4 is also provided on the side of the pipe assembly 1 opposite to the high-pressure oil replenishment component 3, which is used to replenish the low-pressure oil of the counterweight.
[0030] The output of a controllable seismic source in the low-frequency range is limited by the stroke and flow rate of the hammer. As shown in the following formula,
[0031] F p =9.87M M fL p / A p
[0032] Among them, F p For peak output; M M Let f be the mass of the hammer; f be the frequency; L be the frequency. p For the stroke of the hammer; A p This represents the piston area.
[0033] When the operating frequency of the seismic source is lower than the minimum frequency of peak output, the output is limited by the effective stroke of the counterweight and by the flow rate. Therefore, the vibration performance of the AHV362 and AHV364 controllable seismic sources can be improved by increasing the amount of high-pressure oil at low frequencies.

[0035] A high-pressure oil passage 12 is formed along the width direction on the side wall of the manifold body 11, completely penetrating the manifold body 11.

[0037] The high-pressure oil replenishment component 3 includes a high-pressure accumulator. The main function of the accumulator is to absorb pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic system, reduce pressure shocks, and replenish insufficient oil in the system. Since the response time of the vibratory pump cannot effectively meet the system's flow requirements at low and high frequencies, the accumulator is needed to replenish oil and absorb pulse fluctuations when the system requires a large instantaneous oil volume.
