Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of accelerometer technology, and in particular to an impact-resistant accelerometer for downhole inclinometers. Background Technology
[0002] When using downhole inclinometers, accelerometers are typically used to improve logging accuracy. Quartz flexible accelerometers are key components in inertial systems, widely used in high-precision systems such as inertial navigation, attitude control, platform stabilization, missile servos, and drilling control due to their high accuracy, reliability, and low power consumption.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 4 An impact-resistant accelerometer for downhole inclinometers includes: a main body shell 1, a shell cover plate 2 provided on one end surface of the main body shell 1, an adjustment cover plate 201 provided on one end of the shell cover plate 2, and a control circuit board 202 provided inside the adjustment cover plate 201.
[0029] Magnets 4 are installed at both ends inside the main body shell 1. A compensation ring 5 is installed on the outer side of one end of the magnets 4. A torque coil 6 is installed at the other end of the magnets 4. A yoke 7 is installed at the bottom of the magnets 4. A quartz pendulum 8 is installed between the two torque coils 6.
[0030] Specifically, spring plates 601 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the torque coils 6 at both ends, and the other ends of the two sets of spring plates 601 are fixedly connected to both sides of the quartz pendulum 8. The torque coils 6 are movably connected to the quartz pendulum 8 through the spring plates 601.
[0031] Specifically, each group of shrapnel 601 consists of four shrapnels, which are arranged in a circular array.
[0032] Specifically, isolation pads 203 are provided at both ends of the control circuit board 202.
[0033] Specifically, a belly band 801 is fitted on the outer side of the quartz pendulum 8, and the belly band 801 is fitted on both sides of the yoke 7.
[0034] Specifically, a connecting pin 3 is provided at one end of the outer casing 2, and a reinforcing part 301 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting pin 3. One end of the connecting pin 3 is soldered to the control circuit board 202.
[0035] Specifically, the number of yokes 7 is set in two groups, and the yokes 7 are arranged symmetrically.
[0036] In this embodiment, a quartz pendulum 8 is arranged between two torque coils 6. Spring plates 601 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the torque coils 6 at both ends. The other ends of the two sets of spring plates 601 are fixedly connected to both sides of the quartz pendulum 8. The torque coils 6 are movably connected to the quartz pendulum 8 through the spring plates 601. The spring plates 601 have extremely low stiffness in the axial sensitive axis direction and high radial stiffness, which can stably support the movement of the quartz pendulum 8, improving its impact and vibration resistance. Each set of spring plates 601 consists of four spring plates arranged in a ring array. The multiple ring-shaped spring plates 601 further enhance the stability of the movement support for the quartz pendulum 8. A belly band 801 is fitted onto the outer side of the quartz pendulum 8, with both sides of the belly band 801 fitted onto the two yokes 7. The belly band 801 prevents the accelerometer from shifting due to surface slippage, ensuring synchronous movement between the sensor and the measurement part, and guaranteeing measurement accuracy.
[0037] It should be noted that a connecting pin 3 is provided at one end of the outer cover plate 2, and a reinforcing part 301 is provided at the bottom of the connecting pin 3 to improve the strength of the connecting end of the connecting pin 3 and prevent the connecting pin 3 from being easily broken. One end of the connecting pin 3 is soldered to the control circuit board 202.
[0038] Based on the above embodiments, it can be concluded that during use, the device is subjected to external acceleration, and the resulting inertial force acts on the internal quartz pendulum 8, causing the quartz pendulum 8 to swing. The control circuit board 202 detects this and outputs the result. Subsequently, the control circuit board 202 provides current to the two sets of yokes 7, causing them to move in the magnets 4 and generate a balancing force. This balancing force interacts with the inertial force, allowing the quartz pendulum 8 to be in a balanced position. During the swinging process of the quartz pendulum 8, the spring piece 601 limits its movement. The spring piece 601 has extremely low stiffness in the axial sensitive axis direction and high radial stiffness, which can stably support the movement of the quartz pendulum 8, improving the impact resistance and vibration resistance of the quartz pendulum 8.
