Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an orienting structure of a wire line core barrel apparatus used for sampling a formation. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wireline core barrel for collecting cores in a stratum, which can collect and install an inner barrel, has been used in a rotary core barrel and a spindle excavator used in oil drilling. There is a wireline core barrel. Further, among these core barrels, there is also an orienting core barrel capable of measuring the inclination direction of the collected core. [0003] Of these, the only orienting core barrel that can collect and install the inner barrel with a wire line is the wire core core barrel for a spindle excavator. The core barrel inclination measuring instrument is fixed on the upper part of the inner barrel, and the measurement is performed only by using a timer. [0004] As described above, since the measurement is performed using the timer, when the time required for excavating the core-collectable length differs from the estimated time set by the timer, It is necessary to match the excavation work with the set time of the measurement. That is, if the excavation takes time,
It is necessary to collect the inner barrel before excavating the planned length.Conversely, if excavation is completed earlier than expected, or if core clogging occurs and excavation is stopped, wait until the timer works. There is a problem that time occurs. [0005] In view of the above, according to the present invention, it is possible to leave the tilt azimuth measuring device attached during excavation, and to lower the tilt azimuth measuring device after excavation is stopped, to perform measurement and collection of the inner barrel in a series of operations. The aim is to provide a core barrel that can be performed. [0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an outer barrel having a core bit at its tip for excavating the ground by rotation, and a latch mechanism in the outer barrel. An inner barrel that is disposed so as to be disengageable in the longitudinal direction and collects samples of each layer,
A measuring instrument sonde which is detachably mounted on the upper part of the inner barrel and has a built-in measurement of the inclination direction of the sample, and a blade protruding from the inner periphery of the tip part of the inner barrel to cut into a sample to be sampled, and the latch Protruding on the inner circumference of the directional sleeve in the upper part of the mechanism, and comprises a phase determining unit that can install a tilt azimuth measuring device in the same phase in the circumferential direction with the blade , the inner barrel and the directional sleeve,
They are non-rotatably engaged with the directional rods that
Characterized in that that. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an overall sectional view of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 4 to 6 are explanatory diagrams each showing a work situation. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a core bit 4 is screwed to a distal end (lower end) of an outer barrel 2 of an orienting wire line core barrel device 1 via a reamer 3. An inner stabilizer 5 is provided on the inner periphery of the core bit 4 to prevent the inner barrel 6 (described later) disposed inside from being steady. On the other hand, a stabilizer 7 is provided on the outer periphery near the upper end of the outer barrel 2. A non-magnetic drill collar 8 is provided at the upper end of the screw joint 8a to avoid the influence of magnetism on the inclinometer 31 measured using a magnet.
And extend upward (see FIG. 4). Further, a drill pipe 9 is sequentially screwed and extended further upward (see FIG. 4). The core bit 4 at the tip is driven and rotated by a spindle excavator (not shown) to bore the ground,
The reamer part 3 finishes the hole. A non-rotating inner barrel 6 is disposed inside the outer barrel 2 and has a tip (lower end) thereof.
A knife 10 (blade) is provided so as to protrude from the inner periphery, and an orienting line L is formed by cutting into a core 11 (sample) that enters the inner barrel 6 with the excavation of the core bit 4 (FIG. 4). On the other hand, the upper end of the inner barrel 6 is screwed to the inner tool base 12 and integrated by an inner lock nut 13. The inner tool base 12 (that is, the inner barrel 6) is restricted from moving toward the distal end by an inner tool pedestal 14 provided on the inner periphery of the outer barrel 2. A directional rod 15 is screwed into the axial center of the inner tool base 12, and integrated with a connection fixing pin 16 and a lock nut 17. Therefore, the directional rod 15 and the inner barrel 6 are relatively non-rotatably connected. The inner tool base 12
An inner tool latch mechanism 20 (hereinafter, referred to as a latch mechanism 20) is provided above the upper part through a shock absorber 18 and a lower thrust bearing 19 which are configured by interposing a buffer ring such as rubber between steel annular bearing plates.
Are inserted and arranged in the directional rod 15 with a gap therebetween. Above the latch mechanism 20, an annular member 30a having an upper thrust bearing 21 and a latch release sleeve 30 which can move relative to the latch release sleeve 30 is sequentially fitted to the directional rod 15. Inserted through these and the directional sleeve 22
A lower end of the directional sleeve 22 (hereinafter referred to as a directional sleeve 22) is inserted into the directional rod 15, is fitted and fixed in a key groove at a lower end of the sleeve 22, and is inserted into a relatively long key groove 15a on the directional rod 15 side. With the connection key 23 slidably fitted, the sleeve 22 is engaged with the directional rod 15 so as to be movable and relatively non-rotatable,
Further, the upper female screw portion 30c of the annular member 30a is screwed to the lower male screw portion 22a of the directional sleeve 22. The lower end of the annular member 30a is fitted with an upper end portion of a latch release sleeve 30 and fixed by welding or the like. An opening window 30b for operating the latch plate is provided so as to surround the latch plate 28, and the latch plate releasing sleeve 30 is fitted to the latch mechanism support body 20a so as to be vertically slidable. When the lower end of the opening window is engaged with the latch plate 28, the opening / closing operation of the latch plate 28 to expand and contract is restricted. When the latch plate 28 is engaged with the latch groove 29 of the outer barrel 2 by the thrust bearings 19 and 21, the rotational force is transmitted from the latch mechanism support body 20 a to the inner barrel 6, the directional sleeve 6, and the directional rod 15. It is configured not to be transmitted. A directional key 24 (phase determining part) is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the directional sleeve 22 at a position above the upper end of the directional rod 15 to protrude therefrom. 6 The phase is determined so that the phase in the circumferential direction matches the knife 10 at the tip. An inner tool collecting groove 25 is provided on the inner periphery of the upper end of the directional sleeve 22. Also, the connection key 23
At the upper end of the directional rod 15 which engages
The lock nut 26 is disposed and fixed at a predetermined distance from the directional sleeve 22 when the inner barrel 6 is collected.
It allows a single upward movement and also acts as a stopper, acting as a support when the inner barrel 6 is raised. As shown in FIG. 3, the latch mechanism 20 is provided with latch plate storing vertical grooves 20b provided on both front and rear sides of an intermediate portion of a cylindrical latch mechanism support main body 20a and at symmetrical positions from a center point. A latch plate 28 is pivotally attached to a lower part of the bracket by a plate shaft 27 having a horizontal axis and is swingably supported. When the outer barrel 2 is excavated (FIG. 1), the pair of latch plates 28 open upward at their own weights, and engage with an annular latch groove 29 provided on the inner periphery of the outer barrel 2. 6 is restricted from moving upward. Then, at the time of collecting the inner barrel 6 (FIG. 2), when the directional sleeve 22 is about to be pulled up,
Latch release sleeve 30 with a window which rises integrally therewith
The V-shaped opening angle of the latch plate 28 is reduced by the upper surface on the lower side of the window frame opening, and the latch at the upper end of the latch plate 28 is released. In addition, the latch plate 2 is formed by the inner surface on the center side of each of the latch plate storage vertical grooves 20b.
8 so that the latch plate 2
FIG. 4 shows an inclination direction measuring device 31 after excavation is stopped.
This shows a situation in which the measuring device sonde 32 with the built-in is lowered and measured. The outer side of the wavy line surrounding the outer barrel 2 is the survey ground. As shown in FIG. 4, above the latch mechanism 20, together with the mule shoe 33 engaged with the directional key 24 of the directional sleeve 22, the overshot 34 is locked by the lock mechanism 35 to the inner tool at the upper end of the directional sleeve 22. In the state where it is unlocked in the collecting groove 25, the measuring device sonde 3
Drop with 2 At the upper end of the measuring device sonde 32, a centralizer 36 is provided, and a wire line 37 for installation and collection is connected. Further, a magnet (not shown) is provided in the tilt direction measuring device 31 and the directional key 24 is provided.
Based on the position, the inclination direction of the core 11 with respect to the magnetic needle is
An image is taken by a camera (not shown) built in the tilt direction measuring device 31. Therefore, the phase relationship of the inclination azimuth with respect to the orientation line of the core 11 is automatically grasped with high accuracy. FIG. 5 shows the state of recovery of the inner barrel 6 after the measurement. At this time, an overshot 34 having a pair of locking fittings 34a having an arc-shaped guide portion at the lower end by a lock mechanism 35 and constantly urged to expand the diameter.
The claw portion 34b of the locking metal fitting 34a is locked by being locked in the groove 25 of the directional sleeve 22, and the directional sleeve 22 is locked.
With the rise, the latch mechanism 20 is opened, and the inner barrel 6 is pulled up. At this time, the directional sleeve 2
2 comes into contact with the lock nut 26 and the latch release sleeve 3
0, the latch mechanism 20 is opened. Then, the inner barrel 6 is suspended again, and the excavation is continued.
In this way, since the measurement interval is not set in advance by a timer, for example, the length of the inner barrel 6 (core 11
Is measured at a predetermined depth interval according to the length of the image. FIG. 6 is different from FIG.
A situation in which the core bit 4 excavates with the tilt direction measuring device 31 attached in advance is shown. At the upper end of the measuring instrument sonde 32, a spear head 3 serving as an engaging head detachably connected to the hanging / pulling-up device (not shown) at the time of hanging down (or pulling up) by a lifting / lowering device (not shown).
8 are provided. In this case, since the measurement is performed with a timer set, the above-described problem of the conventional example remains. However, in addition to the method described with reference to FIG. It is also possible to perform formation measurements. As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to clearly grasp the phase relationship between the cut of the geological sample to be collected and the inclination direction of the sample. [0021] Further, with a simple configuration in which the inner barrel and the directional sleeve are non-rotatably engaged with the directional rod for interlocking them, the phases of the inner barrel and the directional sleeve can be matched, so that the inclination can be reduced. The correspondence between the data obtained by the azimuth measuring device and the collected core can be easily grasped, and the stratum state can be accurately grasped. In addition, with the measuring device sonde installed in the inner barrel in advance by the locking action of the locking mechanism,
Excavation work can proceed with the outer barrel. In addition, the operation of lifting the measuring instrument sonde together with the inner barrel after the measurement of the inclination direction is facilitated.
