[0025] Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure
[0026] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present disclosure, the following further describes in detail the ultra-high temperature electronic circuit skeleton structure for well logging disclosed in the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0027] FIG1 shows a cross-sectional view of an ultra-high temperature electronic circuit skeleton structure 100 for well logging according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the ultra-high temperature electronic circuit skeleton structure 100 for well logging comprises a plurality of short sections 10, each of which is provided with a plurality of circuit boards and electronic components. The short sections 10 are sequentially connected and docked to form a skeleton structure body. A wiring harness fixing nut 1 is provided at one end of the skeleton structure body, and a connector 2 is provided at the other end of the skeleton structure body. An oil circuit lumen 3 is provided within the skeleton structure body. An oil circuit lumen 3 is formed within the oil circuit lumen 3, and interconnected oil filling lumen 31 and oil return lumen 32 are formed therein. The oil filling port 311 of the oil filling lumen 31 and the oil return port 321 of the oil return lumen 32 are both provided on the connector 2. The end where the oil filling lumen 31 and the oil return lumen 32 connect is located near the wiring harness fixing nut 1. The circuit boards and electronic components are disposed between the oil filling lumen 31 and the oil return lumen 32.
[0028] According to the ultra-high temperature electronic circuit skeleton structure 100 for well logging according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, after long-term operation in a high temperature and high pressure environment, silicone oil can be input into the oil circuit lumen 3 provided inside the skeleton structure body through the oil injection port 311 and the oil return port 321, so as to use silicone oil as a uniform cooling medium. The circuit board and electronic components are arranged between the oil injection oil circuit lumen 31 and the oil return oil circuit lumen 32. By setting the oil temperature of the input silicone oil and its own circulation flow, the temperature inside the electronic circuit can be uniformly reduced after the operation is completed, so that the circuit board and electronic components are uniformly cooled, and the reliability of the electronic node for rotating well wall coring using the ultra-high temperature electronic circuit skeleton structure 100 for well logging can be directly improved. At the same time, the electronic node can meet the operation requirements of multiple wells in a short period of time, thereby improving the high utilization rate of the electronic node instrument.
[0029] Continuing with Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, sub-oil lumens may be formed on a plurality of pup joint structures 10. When the plurality of pup joint structures 10 are fixedly connected, the sub-oil lumens are connected to form an oil injection lumen 31 and an oil return lumen 32. A sealing connecting post 4 is provided in the butted ends of the sub-oil lumens of each pup joint structure 10. Both ends of the sealing connecting post 4 are sealingly inserted into the respective sub-oil lumens, thereby ensuring sealed communication between the sub-oil lumens.
[0030] In the present disclosure, an axially through oil hole is formed in the sealing connecting column 4, and an annular groove 41 is symmetrically formed on the outer peripheral wall of the sealing connecting column 4, and the annular groove 41 is used to set the sealing ring. The two ends of the sealing connecting column 4 are sealed and inserted into each sub-oil circuit lumen to connect each sub-oil circuit lumen, maintaining the sealing while facilitating the connection of the sub-oil circuit lumen. In addition, by connecting the sub-oil circuit lumen in several short-section structures 10 to form the oil injection oil circuit lumen 31 and the oil return oil circuit lumen 32, it is also possible to facilitate the processing of the oil circuit lumen 3. At the same time, the number of short-section structures 10 can be further increased or reduced when necessary, which will also affect the oil injection oil circuit lumen 31 and the oil return oil circuit lumen 32.
[0031] 3 , in some embodiments, one end connecting the oil injection lumen 31 and the oil return lumen 32 may be constructed as a bent lumen structure 33 to reduce the influence of the oil channel damping of the oil lumen 3 on the cooling effect.
[0032] Continuing with FIG3 , it is further preferred that the bent lumen structure 33 be configured such that the oil injection lumen 31 and the oil return lumen 32 are each bent at an angle of 120° and then butted together at a 120° angle. This configuration, based on simulation analysis, shows that the oil injection lumen 31 and the oil return lumen 32 are each bent at an angle of 120° and then butted together at a 120° angle, achieving three 120° angle connections. This minimizes the impact of the oil channel damping of the oil lumen 3 on the cooling effect.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 and 4. In some embodiments, a process hole 101 is formed on the short section structure 10 at a position relative to the bent portion of the oil injection oil line lumen 31 and the oil return oil line lumen 32, and a dead plug 35 is fixed in the process hole 101.

The dead plug 35 is used to seal the process hole 101. In this application, since the oil pressure there is usually relatively large, the dead plug 35 and the process hole 101 can be interference fit, and welding can be performed after they are assembled in place.
