Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logging cable technology, specifically to a square-structured logging cable with good stability. Background Technology

[0002] Logging cables are special cables used in oil and gas exploration and development for logging operations. They are the key link between surface equipment and downhole logging instruments. Their core function is to lower logging instruments to a specified depth in the well, while simultaneously powering the instruments, transmitting measurement data, and enabling control. Structurally, logging cables typically use highly conductive copper wire as the conductor to ensure stable signal and power transmission. The outer layer is wrapped with oil-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, and high-pressure-resistant insulating materials, and the outermost layer uses a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant sheath to protect the internal structure from wellbore friction and oil and gas corrosion. Depending on the application scenario, logging cables can be divided into conventional logging cables, ultra-deep well logging cables, etc. However, existing logging cables are prone to twisting and knotting during use, making it difficult to fix the cable, resulting in poor stability with the tubing. At the same time, the cables have poor rigidity and are easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the insulating layer is configured as a circular structure, and the outer surface of the inner sheath is configured as a circular structure.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a square-structured logging cable with good stability, comprising a conductor 10, an insulation layer 20, an inner sheath 30, a protective tube 40, an outer sheath 50, and a reinforcing rope 60;

[0029] The logging cable improves the strength of the device, and the specific implementation method is as follows:

[0030] Two conductors 10 are symmetrically arranged, and an insulation layer 20 is connected to the outside of the two conductors 10. An inner sheath 30 is arranged outside the two insulation layers 20, and a protective tube 40 is installed around the surface of the inner sheath 30. An outer sheath 50 is arranged around the outer surface of the protective tube 40, and reinforcing ropes 60 are installed equidistantly inside the outer sheath 50. The conductors 10 are symmetrically arranged inside the inner sheath 30, and the insulation layers 20 are symmetrically arranged inside the inner sheath 30. The outer side of the insulation layer 20 is set with a circular structure, and the outer surface of the inner sheath 30 is set with a circular structure. The inner sheath 30 and the protective tube 40 are concentric circles. The protective tube 40 is set with a circular ring structure and is installed around the outside of the inner sheath 30. The outer side of the outer sheath 50 is set with a square structure and rounded corners. The protective tube 40 is located at the central axis of the outer sheath 50, and the reinforcing rope 60 is installed around the outside of the protective tube 40.

[0031] Conductors 10 are made of nickel-plated copper stranded together. At the same time, polyimide + PTFE composite insulation material is wrapped around the surface of two conductors 10 to form insulation layer 20. The insulation layers 20 are then positioned correspondingly and placed inside FPA perfluoroalkoxy resin. They are then extruded to form inner sheath 30. The insulation layers 20 are symmetrically placed inside the inner sheath 30. Then, titanium palladium alloy material is laser welded to form a pipe structure, which is wrapped around the surface of the inner sheath 30. The titanium palladium alloy material forms protective tube 40. Carbon fiber rope is wound into a mesh structure to form reinforcing rope 60. The reinforcing rope 60 and protective tube 40 are both placed inside FPA perfluoroalkoxy resin. They are then fixed to the surface of reinforcing rope 60 and protective tube 40 by an extrusion structure to form outer sheath 50. At the same time, the outer sheath 50 is extruded to form a square structure with rounded corners.

[0032] Conductor 10 is made of nickel-plated copper, which is a significant improvement over ordinary copper conductors. The nickel-plated copper of conductor 10 is also more resistant to scratches and wear. Insulation layer 20 is made of polyimide + PTFE composite insulation, which has high inertness and is more resistant to hydrogen sulfide environments. Protective tube 40 is made of titanium-palladium alloy, which has low density and high corrosion resistance. Protective tube 40 reduces the weight of the cable, making it lighter. The addition of 0.15% palladium to the protective tube 40 results in a titanium-palladium alloy density of 4.5g / cm², only half the weight of Inconel 625 alloy (8.44g / cm²). The overall cable weight is reduced from 355kg / km to 295kg / km, combining the advantages of lightweight design and corrosion resistance.

[0033] Meanwhile, both the inner sheath 30 and the outer sheath 50 are made of FPA perfluoroalkoxy resin, which is more resistant to high temperatures. The outer sheath 50 is designed with a square structure to prevent it from tangling.

[0034] Working principle: When using this stable square-structure logging cable, an inner sheath 30, a protective tube 40, an outer sheath 50, and a reinforcing rope 60 are installed to improve the strength of the device and increase its overall practicality.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
