[0002] In order to obtain core samples from downhole for the analysis and research of shale gas reservoirs and coalbed methane reservoirs in the formation, core samples are drilled at certain strata using core-taking tools. During the drilling process, due to the decrease in pressure, the fluidity of oil, gas and water in the core increases, and gas is released from the voids in the core. The physical properties of the core also change, which affects the decision-making of subsequent analysis and research. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a core sampling device that can maintain pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom diameter of the rotary drill bit is larger than the diameter of the outer sleeve, the rotary drill bit is provided with a rock-walking channel inside, the rock-walking channel is connected to the central channel, and when the rotary drill bit rotates, the rock core enters the interior of the central channel through the rock-walking channel. The outer surface of the central channel and the inner surface of the outer sleeve are both provided with rotary threads.
[0008] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pressure-holding cavity includes a rotating annular portion, a channel fitting portion, and a sealing portion. The rotating annular portion is hollow cylindrical and rotates on a rotating thread on the inner surface of the outer sleeve to achieve vertical displacement. The channel fitting portion extends upward from the bottom end of the rotating annular portion and is connected to the central channel via a rotating thread. The sealing portion has a right-angled triangular vertical section and is arranged around the top end of the channel fitting portion.
[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the rotating ring portion is provided with a sealing device and a one-way pressure control valve. The sealing device includes a telescopic rotary motor, a rotary telescopic rod, and a sealing head. The rotary telescopic motor is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating ring portion. The rotary telescopic rod extends downward from the output end of the rotary telescopic motor into the interior of the rotating ring portion. The sealing head is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the rotary telescopic rod. The sealing head and the sealing portion are connected by a rotary thread, and the sealing head and the sealing portion are matched.
[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple one-way pressure control valves are provided, and the one-way pressure control valves are arranged around the outer ring of the sealing device. Each one-way pressure control valve includes an air inlet, an elastic closing balloon, a transverse support plate, and a tension spring. The air inlet passes through the top of the rotating ring portion, and the bottom of the air inlet is arc-shaped. The elastic closing balloon is located at the bottom of the air inlet and is fixedly installed on the transverse support plate.

The support frame is fixedly installed inside the pressurizing chamber, and the bidirectional suction pressurizer is fixedly installed on the support frame. The two ends of the bidirectional suction pressurizer are respectively connected to the air passage and the air inlet channel. The shut-off valve is located at the connection between the air inlet channel, the air passage and the bidirectional suction pressurizer.
[0012] In some embodiments of this utility model, pressure monitoring devices are provided inside the pressure holding chamber and on the outer wall of the outer sleeve, and the pressure monitoring devices are electrically connected to the bidirectional suction and pressurization machine.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) In this utility model, the outer sleeve rotates to drive the rotary drill bit to rotate. During the rotation of the rotary drill bit, it goes deeper into the ground. The core falls into the pressure-holding chamber through the central channel. When the core sampling amount reaches the preset weight, the telescopic rotary motor controls the sealing head and sealing part to rotate and close through the rotating telescopic rod. At this time, the pressure-holding chamber becomes a sealed space. The pressure monitoring device set inside the pressure-holding chamber and on the outer wall of the outer sleeve monitors the pressure difference between the two. When the underground pressure is greater than the pressure inside the pressure-holding chamber, the bidirectional pumping pressurizer pressurizes the underground gas through the air inlet channel and sends it into the vacuum chamber through the air passage. The pressurized underground gas enters the pressure-holding chamber through the one-way pressure control valve. When the pressure inside the pressure-holding chamber is the same as the underground pressure, the bidirectional pumping pressurizer reverses the operation and discharges the gas inside the vacuum chamber into the ground through the air passage and the air inlet channel. This utility model enables the sampled core to maintain the original oil and gas pressure state through pressure compensation.
[0016] (2) In this invention, when the gas inside the vacuum chamber enters the pressure-holding chamber through the one-way pressure control valve, the air-closing valve of the air passage closes, and the pressure-holding chamber rotates upward within the rotating outer sleeve. The gas inside the vacuum chamber is compressed by the pressure-holding chamber, and the pressure increases. The gas with increased pressure then enters the pressure-holding chamber through the one-way pressure control valve. When the pressure inside the pressure-holding chamber is the same as the underground pressure, the bidirectional pumping and pressurizing machine reverses its operation, and the pressure-holding chamber rotates in the opposite direction and moves downward within the outer sleeve. The gas inside the vacuum chamber stops entering the pressure-holding chamber. This invention increases the air intake speed of the pressure-holding chamber by compressing the gas inside the vacuum chamber, thus effectively improving the pressure compensation efficiency of the pressure-holding chamber.
