Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the technical field of geological exploration, in particular to a hydraulic power system for a downhole device and a downhole device.

BACKGROUND

Some downhole devices used for geological exploration and testing have high requirements on control of force and speed due to particularity of the operating environment and operating requirements. For example, in order to improve the adaptability of a coring instrument to a formation, higher control accuracy of drilling pressure and advancing speed of a bit is required during operation of a large-diameter coring instrument. Moreover, a variation range of the drilling pressure and speed is very wide under different working conditions. When coring in a complex formation, the requirements on the control of the drilling pressure and the speed are higher.

However, the existing hydraulic system cannot meet the requirements on the control of force and speed in downhole operations. For example, the current hydraulic system cannot fully meet the requirements on the drilling pressure and the drilling speed in large-diameter coring operations, and the bit is easily stuck in the coring process. When the sticking occurs, a force for retracting the bit is small, and a speed of the retracting is slow, which easily damage the coring instrument. Moreover, the drilling speed cannot be effectively controlled, resulting in low coring efficiency. In addition, reliability of the current hydraulic system is generally poor. Once there is a problem, it will seriously affect operation performance of coring instruments. Due to the insufficient performance of the current hydraulic system, it often leads to the sticking of downhole instruments, such as stuck bit and irretrievable bit, and instrument salvaging will seriously waste time and costs.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hydraulic power system for a downhole device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the hydraulic power system according to this embodiment includes a first motor 10, a first hydraulic pump 11, a second hydraulic pump 12, a first main oil path A, a second main oil path B, a switching control module 13 and a first execution module 14. The first motor 10 has a first output shaft 101 and a second output shaft 102, the first output shaft 101 drives the first hydraulic pump 11, and the second output shaft 102 drives the second hydraulic pump 12. An oil outlet of the first hydraulic pump 11 is connected to an input end of the fust main oil path A, and an oil outlet of the second hydraulic pump 12 is connected to an input end of the second main oil path B. Displacement of the first hydraulic pump 11 is smaller than that of the second hydraulic pump 12. The switching control module 13 is connected between the first main oil path A and the second main oil path B, and is configured to adjust a working pressure of the first main oil path A and a movement speed of the first execution module 14 by controlling on-off between the first main oil path A and the second main oil path B.

In an exemplary embodiment, the switching control module 13 may include a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit is connected between the first main oil path A and the second main oil path B and is configured to control the oil liquid from the first main oil path A to flow into the second main oil path B when the working pressure of the first main oil path A is greater than that of the second main oil path B. The second control unit is connected between the first main oil path A and the second main oil path B and is configured to control oil liquid from the second main oil path B to flow into the first main oil path A when the working pressure of the second main oil path B is greater than that of the first main oil path A.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first control unit may include a first reversing valve and a first one-way valve, wherein a first oil port of the first reversing valve is connected to a first connecting end of the first main oil path, a second oil port of the first reversing valve is connected to an oil inlet of the first one-way valve, and an oil outlet of the first one-way valve is connected to a first connecting end of the second main oil path.

wherein the first connecting end of the first main oil path may be anywhere between the input end and an output end of the first main oil path, and the first connecting end of the second main oil path may be anywhere between the input end and an output end of the second main oil path.

In this exemplary embodiment, the first control unit may further include a first safety relief valve, wherein an oil inlet of the first safety relief valve is connected to the first oil port of the first reversing valve, and an oil outlet of the first safety relief valve is connected to an oil tank. The second control unit may further include a second safety relief valve, wherein an oil inlet of the second safety relief valve is connected to the first oil port of the second reversing valve, and an oil outlet of the second safety relief valve is connected to the oil tank. By arrangement of the safety relief valve, it is possible to prevent local pressure from rising and damaging the hydraulic valve due to thermal expansion of the hydraulic oil in the sealed hydraulic pipeline.

In an example, the first reversing valve and the second reversing valve may both be 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valve. Herein, the first oil port of the first reversing valve is connected to the first connecting end of the first main oil path, the second oil port of the first reversing valve is connected to the oil inlet of the first one-way valve, and a third oil port of the first reversing valve is connected to the oil tank. The oil outlet of the first one-way valve is connected to the first connecting end of the second main oil path. The first oil port of the second reversing valve is connected to the first connecting end of the second main oil path, the second oil port of the second reversing valve is connected to the oil inlet of the second one-way valve, and a third oil port of the second reversing valve is connected to the oil tank. The oil outlet of the second one-way valve is connected to the first connecting end of the first main oil path.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first oil port of the electromagnetic reversing valve may serve as the oil inlet connecting the electromagnetic reversing valve with an oil supply path of the system, which is labeled as port P. The second oil port may serve as the oil port connecting the electromagnetic reversing valve with an actuator element, which is labeled as port C. The third oil port may serve as an oil return port connecting the electromagnetic reversing valve with an oil return path of the system, which is labeled as port R.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first execution module 14 may include a first hydraulic cylinder and a control module for the first hydraulic cylinder. The control module for the first hydraulic cylinder is connected between the output end of the first main oil path and the first hydraulic cylinder, and is configured to control a piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder to move under the working pressure of the first main oil path, and adjust a movement speed of the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder under the control of the switching control module 13.

The control module for the first hydraulic cylinder may include: a 3/2-way normally-on electromagnetic reversing valve, a 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valve, a first hydraulic control one-way valve and a second hydraulic control one-way valve. A first oil port of the 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valve is connected to the first main oil path, a second oil port of the 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valve is connected to an oil outlet of the first hydraulic control one-way valve, a control oil path of the second hydraulic control one-way valve and a rodless chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder respectively, and a third oil port of the 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valve is connected to the oil tank. A first oil port of the 3/2-way normally-on electromagnetic reversing valve is connected to the first main oil path, a second oil port of the 3/2-way normally-on electromagnetic reversing valve is connected to an oil outlet of the second hydraulic control one-way valve, a control oil path of the first hydraulic control one-way valve and a rod chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder respectively, and a third oil port of the 3/2-way normally-on electromagnetic reversing valve is connected to the oil tank. An oil inlet of the first hydraulic control unit valve is connected to an oil inlet of the second hydraulic control one-way valve, and both of them are connected to the oil tank.

In an exemplary embodiment, when the working pressure of the second main oil path B (for example, the working pressure of the second main oil path B is a maximum working pressure of the second hydraulic pump 12) is greater than that of the first main oil path A, the switching control module 13 controls oil liquid from the second main oil path B to flow into the first main oil path A, since the displacement of the first hydraulic pump 11 is less than that of the second hydraulic pump 12, the oil flow of the first main oil path A increases, such that a movement speed of the first execution module 14 connected on the first main oil path A can be increased. When the working pressure of the first main oil path A (for example, the working pressure of the first main oil path A is the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump 11) is greater than that of the second main oil path B (for example, the working pressure of the second main oil path B is the maximum working pressure of the second hydraulic pump 12), the switching control module 13 controls the oil liquid from the first main oil path A to flow into the second main oil path B, at this time, the high-pressure oil liquid in the first main oil path A enters the second main oil path B, and the working pressure of the second main oil path B can be increased.

In an exemplary embodiment, the switching control module 13 may further be =figured to control the oil liquid in the second main oil path B to flow into the first main oil path A when the first hydraulic pump 11 fails, so as to provide a working pressure for the first main oil path A; or, to control the oil liquid in the first main oil path A to flow into the second main oil path B when the second hydraulic pump 12 fails, so as to provide a working pressure for the second main oil path B. In other words, the first hydraulic pump 11 and the second hydraulic pump 12 may back up each other. For example, when the first hydraulic pump 11 is damaged, the switching control module 13 may control the oil liquid from the second main oil path B to flow into the first main oil path A, to provide the working pressure of the first main oil path A. When the second hydraulic pump 12 is damaged, the switching control module 13 may control the oil liquid from the first main oil path A to flow into the second main oil path B, to provide the working pressure of the second group of oil paths B. In this way, even if one of the hydraulic pumps is damaged, the downhole device using the hydraulic power system of this embodiment can be ensured to work normally, thus improving the reliability and safety of the downhole device.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a hydraulic power system for a downhole device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Based on the hydraulic power system shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the hydraulic power system of this embodiment may further include a pressure control module 16. The pressure control module 16 is connected to a second connecting end of the first main oil path A and configured to adjust the working pressure of the first main oil path A. The second connecting end of the first main oil path A may be anywhere between the first connecting end of the first main oil path A and the output end of the first main oil path A, and the first connecting end of the first main oil path A is connected to the switching control module 13.

In an exemplary embodiment, the pressure control module 16 may include multiple third reversing valves and safety relief valves in one-to-one correspondence with the third reversing valves, a first oil port of each of the third reversing valves is connected to the second connecting end of the first main oil path, and a second oil port of each of the third reversing valves is connected to the corresponding safety relief valve. The third reversing valve is configured to adjust the working pressure of the first main oil path by controlling on-off between the first main oil path and the corresponding safety relief valve. In an example, the third reversing valves may be 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valves. The number of the third reversing valves and safety relief valves included in the pressure control module is not limited in the present application.

In this exemplary embodiment, by controlling the on-off between the first main oil path and the safety relief valves through the third reversing valves, different numbers of safety relief valves may be selected to communicate with the first main oil path, so that the working pressure of the first main oil path can be adjusted to achieve the control of the working pressure of the first execution module.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hydraulic power system according to this embodiment may further include a second execution module 15, the second execution module 15 includes a second hydraulic cylinder and a control module for the second hydraulic cylinder. The control module for the second hydraulic cylinder is connected between the output end of the second main oil path B and the second hydraulic cylinder and is configured to control a piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder to move under the working pressure of the second main oil path B. An implementation of the control module for the second hydraulic cylinder may refer to that of the control module for the first hydraulic cylinder.

In an exemplary embodiment, the hydraulic power system may further include: a second motor, a third hydraulic pump and a third execution module which is connected to an oil outlet of the third hydraulic pump, wherein the second motor drives the third hydraulic pump, and the third hydraulic pump drives the third execution module. The hydraulic power system according to this embodiment may contain three hydraulic powers, which are driven by two independent motors, with the two independent motors working in cooperation, downhole operations with controllable force and speed can be allowed.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first motor and the second motor may be DC brushless motors and are powered by independent DC power supplies. By respectively powering the two motors with the two independent DC power supplies, independent speed control of the two motors can be achieved, so that the accuracy and reliability of the speed control can be increased.

The following description takes a downhole device as a coring instrument as an example. During coring, the coring instrument needs to perform actions such as thrust-fixing, bit drilling, core breaking, bit retracting, core thrusting, spacer inserting, core thrust rod retracting, reverse thrusting, etc., and their required power characteristics are quite different. Among them, the actions of thrusting, bit retracting, spacer inserting, core thrusting and the like need to be quick and powerful, while the bit drilling requires a low speed, but the force should be able to be accurately controlled.

In this example, in order to improve adaptability of the coring instrument to formations, the hydraulic power system includes three hydraulic powers, which are driven by two independent motors (i.e., the first motor and the second motor) respectively. The first motor drives the first hydraulic pump and the second hydraulic pump, and the second motor drives the third hydraulic pump. The first motor and the second motor may be DC brushless motors, such as high-temperature DC brushless motors with Hall feedback. In addition, by powering the first motor and the second motor with two independent DC power supplies, the independent modulation control of the two motors may be achieved, so that the two motors can work in coordination to achieve high-power coring operations. The power supplies for the first motor and the second motor may be controlled by software, thus control precision and accuracy are increased greatly.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of power transmission of the first motor in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the first motor drives the first hydraulic pump and the second hydraulic pump to work. The first hydraulic pump and the second hydraulic pump may back up each other. The displacement of the first hydraulic pump is less than that of the second hydraulic pump, and the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump is greater than that of the second hydraulic pump. Herein, the second hydraulic pump may be configured to provide power for actions such as thrust-fixing, spacer inserting, bit retreating, reverse thrusting and core thrusting, and the first hydraulic pump may be configured to provide power for drilling. During coring drilling, by controlling the rotational speed of the first motor, output flow of the first hydraulic pump may be controlled, and then by selection of different drilling pressures, the drilling speed and drilling force can be accurately controlled.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of power transmission of the second motor in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the second motor may drive the third hydraulic pump to rotate, thus driving the hydraulic motor, to directly drive the coring bit to work, which improves dynamic performance of the bit. Furthermore, by adjusting a power supply voltage of the ground DC power supply, a purpose of adjusting the rotational speed of the second motor (DC brushless motor) can be achieved, so that the rotational speed of the coring bit can be adjusted to improve the adaptability of the downhole device to the formation, and input power of the second motor is large, therefore output power of the bit is sufficient.

In this example, through the cooperation of the two motors and the three hydraulic pumps, controllable coring operation can be achieved, so as to improve the success getting rate of the coring operation and meet the requirements of operations in various complex formations. The working principle of the hydraulic power system during a coring operation is described in detail below.

FIG. 5 is a diagram of a working principle of the hydraulic power system according to an embodiment of the present application. In this example, the first execution module includes a drilling hydraulic cylinder 66, a control module for the drilling hydraulic cylinder and an accumulator control module, wherein the first main oil path may be referred to simply as a drilling main oil path. The second execution module includes: thrust hydraulic cylinders G1, G2, a control module for thrust hydraulic cylinders, a spacer-insert hydraulic cylinder G3, a control module for the spacer-insert hydraulic cylinder, a core thrust hydraulic cylinder G4, a control module for the core thrust hydraulic cylinder, a reverse thrust hydraulic cylinder G5, and a control module for the reverse thrust hydraulic cylinder, wherein the second main oil path may be referred to simply as a thrust main oil path.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first motor M1 is a dual-output shaft motor, and two ends thereof respectively drive the first hydraulic pump (also called an extra small pump) B1 and the second hydraulic pump (also called a small pump) B2 to work simultaneously. A first output shaft of the first motor M1 is connected to a drive shaft of the first hydraulic pump B1, and a second output shaft of the first motor M1 is connected to a drive shaft of the second hydraulic pump B2. Displacement of the first hydraulic pump B1 is less than that of the second hydraulic pump B2, and a maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1 is greater than that of the second hydraulic pump 132. Oil inlets of the first hydraulic pump B1 and the second hydraulic pump B2 are respectively connected to the oil tank, an oil outlet of the first hydraulic pump B1 is connected to the first main oil path, and an oil outlet of the second hydraulic pump B2 is connected to the second main oil path.

As shown in FIG. 5, the oil outlet of the first hydraulic pump B1 is connected to an oil inlet of a safety relief valve K2 (corresponding to the aforementioned third safety relief valve), and an oil outlet of the safety relief valve K2 is connected to the oil tank. The working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1 may be set with the safety relief valve K2. The oil outlet of the second hydraulic pump B2 is connected to an oil inlet of the safety relief valve K1 (corresponding to the aforementioned fourth safety relief valve), and an oil outlet of the safety relief valve K1 is connected to the oil tank. The working pressure of the second hydraulic pump B2 may be set with the safety relief valve K1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the oil outlet of the first hydraulic pump B1 is further connected to a pressure sensor L2, which is configured to detect the working pressure set by the safety relief valve K2. The oil outlet of the second hydraulic pump B2 is further connected to a pressure sensor L1, which is configured to detect the working pressure set by the safety relief valve K1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the oil outlet of the first hydraulic pump B1 is further connected to an oil inlet of a one-way valve S4, and an oil outlet of the one-way valve S4 is connected to the oil tank. The oil outlet of the second hydraulic pump B2 is further connected to an oil inlet of a one-way valve S1, and an oil outlet of the one-way valve S1 is connected to the oil tank. The oil outlet of the first hydraulic pump B1 is connected to an oil inlet of a one-way valve S5 through a filter. An oil outlet of the one-way valve S5 may be connected to the switching control module, the pressure control module and the first execution module. The oil outlet of the second hydraulic pump B2 is connected to an oil inlet of the one-way valve S2 through a filter, and an oil outlet of the one-way valve S2 is connected to an oil inlet of the one-way valve S3. The oil inlet of the one-way valve S3 may also be connected to the switching control module, and an oil outlet of the one-way valve S3 may be connected to the accumulator X1 and the second execution module.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the first motor M1 rotates reversely, the second hydraulic pump B2 may replenish oil through the one-way valve S1, be isolated from the switching control module through the one-way valve S2, and isolate the accumulator X1 through the one-way valve S3 (which prevents the hydraulic oil of the accumulator X1 from entering the first hydraulic pump B1, and the influence on the retraction of the thrust hydraulic cylinder when the accumulator X1 is released); the first hydraulic pump B2 may replenish oil through the one-way valve S4, and be isolated from subsequent oil paths through the one-way valve S5.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the first motor M1 rotates forward (i.e., during normal operation), the hydraulic oil liquid passes through the one-way valve S2 and the one-way valve S3, and enters the subsequent oil paths (including oil paths of the thrust hydraulic cylinder, spacer-insert hydraulic cylinder, core thrust hydraulic cylinder and reverse thrust hydraulic cylinder), so as to control actions of the corresponding hydraulic cylinders, and the hydraulic oil enters the subsequent oil paths (including oil path of the drilling hydraulic cylinder) through the one-way valve S5.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a switching control module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 6, the switching control module includes electromagnetic reversing valves NC-1, NC-2, one-way valves S6 and S7, and safety relief valves K3 and K4. The electromagnetic reversing valves NC-1 and NC-2 are both 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valves, a first oil port (port P) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1 (corresponding to the first reversing valve mentioned above) is connected to the first connecting end of the first main oil path and the oil inlet of the safety relief valve K3 (corresponding to the first safety relief valve mentioned above), a second oil port (port C) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1 is connected to the oil inlet of the one-way valve S7 (corresponding to the first one-way valve mentioned above), and a third oil port (port R) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1 is connected to the oil tank. An oil outlet of the one-way valve S7 is connected to the first connecting end of the second main oil path. An oil outlet of the safety relief valve K3 is connected to the oil tank. A first oil port (port P) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2 (corresponding to the second reversing valve mentioned above) is connected to the first connecting end of the second main oil path and an oil inlet of a safety relief valve K4 (corresponding to the second safety relief valve mentioned above), a second oil port (port C) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2 is connected to the oil inlet of the one-way valve S6 (corresponding to the second one-way valve mentioned above), and a third oil port (port R) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2 is connected to the oil tank. The oil outlet of the one-way valve S6 is connected to the first connecting end of the first main oil path, and an oil outlet of the safety relief valve K4 is connected to the oil tank.

Herein, the working pressure of the second hydraulic pump B2 is the maximum working pressure of the second hydraulic pump B2 after the thrust action is completed. When the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 is operated, the working pressure of the drilling main oil path (the first main oil path) is lower than the maximum working pressure of the second hydraulic pump B2. When the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2 is energized, high-pressure oil of the thrust main oil path (the second main oil path) enters the drilling main oil path through the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2. Since the displacement of the second hydraulic pump B2 is larger than that of the first hydraulic pump B1, the hydraulic oil flow of the drilling main oil path increases, so that a movement speed of a piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder may be increased, and the drilling speed or bit retreating speed can be increased. Furthermore, due to an isolation function of the one-way valve S3 and a pressure maintaining function of the accumulator X1, the thrust force of the thrust hydraulic cylinder is not affected.

Herein, when the thrust is on (the piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder is in a refracted state), and the working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1 is the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1, and when the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1 is energized, the high-pressure oil of the drilling main oil path (first main oil path) enters the thrust main oil path through the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1. Since the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1 is greater than that of the second hydraulic pump B2, the thrust pressure of the thrust hydraulic cylinder is the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1, thus a thrust force of a thrust arm is increased, and the thrust arm thrusts the instrument more steadily. Due to the isolation function of the one-way valve S5, the drilling hydraulic cylinder and the accumulator X2 are not affected by actions of the thrust arm. Therefore, during coring operation, the device is firmly fixed by the thrust arm, and the cable may be loosened.

In this embodiment, by switching of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1, high-speed thrust can be achieved, the thrust pressure is relatively large, and power consumed by the first motor is relatively small. During the coring operation, the downhole device may be firmly fixed by providing a larger thrust force, so that the cable may be fully loosened. During drilling, by controlling the rotational speed of the first motor and the selection of drilling pressure, the drilling speed of the bit can be accurately controlled to prevent sticking of the bit. Herein, when high-speed drilling is required, with control by the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2, the high-speed drilling can be achieved. When the bit needs to be quickly retracted, the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1 is used to quickly retract the bit, and the force for retracting the bit is large, thus the downhole device can be prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, it is achievable that the first hydraulic pump B1 and the second hydraulic pump B2 may back up each other through the switching control module. When the first hydraulic pump B1 or the second hydraulic pump B2 is damaged, switching can be performed by the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-1 or NC-2 to ensure that the downhole device can work properly to ensure the reliability and safety of the downhole device.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a pressure control module according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application. Herein, a connection position of the pressure control module in the first main oil path may be anywhere between the connection position of the switching control module with the first main oil path and the output end of the first main oil path. As shown in FIG. 7, the pressure control module includes electromagnetic reversing valves NC-5, NC-6, NC-7, NC-17, NC-18 and NC-19 and safety relief valves K10, K11, K12, K13, K14 and K15. Herein, each electromagnetic reversing valve (corresponding to the third reversing valve mentioned above) is correspondingly connected to one safety relief valve. The electromagnetic reversing valves NC-5, NC-6, NC-7, NC-17, NC-18 and NC-19 are all 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valves. Taking the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 as an example, a first oil port (port P) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 is connected to the first main oil path, a second oil port (port C) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 is connected to an oil inlet of the safety relief valve K10, and the third oil port (port R) of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 is connected to the oil tank. An oil outlet of the safety relief valve K10 is connected to the oil tank. When the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 is de-energized, the high-pressure oil at the inlet of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 is cut off and closed. When the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 is energized, the oil liquid in the first main oil path enters the safety relief valve K10 through the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-5 and returns to the oil tank. It should be noted that the number of the electromagnetic reversing valves and the safety relief valves included in the pressure control module is not limited in the present application.

For example, when a larger drilling force or bit retreating force is needed, the electromagnetic reversing valves NC-5, NC-6, NC-7, NC-17, NC-18 and NC-19 may all be de-energized, and the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump may be used for drilling or bit retreating.

As shown in FIG. 8, the accumulator control module includes one-way valves S8, S9 and S10, and electromagnetic reversing valve NO-14. Herein, the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-14 is a 3/2-way normally-on electromagnetic reversing valve.

The oil outlet of one-way valve S9 is further connected to the accumulator X2. An oil outlet of the one-way valve S10 is connected to the oil outlet of one-way valve S8.

Herein, before the coring operation, the high-pressure oil in the first main oil path may enter the accumulator X2 through the one-way valve S8 and the one-way valve S9. When the pressure reaches the maximum working pressure of the first hydraulic pump B1, the accumulator X2 is fully filled with hydraulic oil, and the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-14 is energized. When the accumulator X2 needs to be used, the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-14 is de-energized, and the high-pressure oil in the accumulator X2 passes through the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-14, then enters the control module for the drilling hydraulic cylinder through the one-way valve S10 to realize emergency retraction of the drilling hydraulic cylinder.

As shown in FIG. 8, the control module for the drilling hydraulic cylinder includes electromagnetic reversing valves NC-15, NO-16, hydraulic control one-way valves R9, R10 and a safety relief valve K9. Herein, the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-15 is a 3/2-way normally-off electromagnetic reversing valve, and the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-16 is a 3/2-way normally-on electromagnetic reversing valve.

An oil inlet of the hydraulic control unit valve R9 is connected to an oil inlet of the hydraulic control one-way valve R10, and both of them are connected to the oil tank. An oil inlet of the safety relief valve K9 is connected to the oil outlets of the one-way valves S8 and S10, and the oil outlet thereof is connected to the oil tank.

Herein, when the electromagnetic reversing valves NO-16 and NC-15 are de-energized (at normal position), the high-pressure oil enters the first oil port and enters the rod chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 (the chamber on the right side of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6) through the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-16. At the same time, the high-pressure oil passing through the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-16 opens the hydraulic control one-way valve R9, and the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder (36 (the chamber on the left side of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6) returns to the oil tank through the hydraulic control one-way valve R9. In this way, the drilling hydraulic cylinder may be retracted. For the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-15, the high-pressure oil inlet is closed, and part of the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder enters the second oil port of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-15 and returns to the oil tank.

Herein, when the electromagnetic reversing valves NO-16 and NC-15 are energized at the same time, the electromagnetic reversing valves NO-16 and NC-15 are reversed, and the high-pressure oil enters the first oil port and enters the rodless chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 through the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-15. At the same time, the high-pressure oil passing through the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-15 opens the hydraulic control one-way valve R10, and the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 returns to the oil tank through the hydraulic control one-way valve R10. In addition, the high-pressure oil at the inlet of the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-16 is cut off and closed, and part of the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder returns to the oil tank through the second oil port of the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-16. In this way, it is possible to control the drilling action.

In addition, when the electromagnetic reversing valve NO-16 is energized, but the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-15 is de-energized, the hydraulic control one-way valves R9 and R10 are closed reversely, and oil incoming at the left and right sides of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 is stopped. By communicating with the oil tanks with the electromagnetic reversing valves NO-16 and NC-15, the piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 is stopped, so that drilling can be stopped. The piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6 drives a moving guide rail Q, to achieve stopping the bit from advancing.

As shown in FIG. 8, the safety relief valve K9 may play a protective role. Herein, when the drilling hydraulic cylinder does not operate for a long time, the hydraulic oil enclosed in the hydraulic pipeline will thermally expand, resulting in pressure increase. By unloading directly from the safety relief valve K9, overpressure protection may be carried out.

As shown in FIG. 8, a pressure sensor L7 is connected to an inlet of the rodless chamber of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6, which may detect the drilling pressure of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6. A displacement sensor P3 is connected to the piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder G6, may move with the piston rod and detect a drilling depth.

By using the DC brushless motor, a large-scale stepless speed regulation can be achieved, and the speed regulation performance is good. By the pressure control module, the drilling pressure can be adjusted in a wide range, thus greatly improving the adaptability of the coring instrument to formations.

At the same time, the high-pressure oil passing through the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-4 opens the hydraulic control one-way valve R2, and the hydraulic oil in the rod chambers of the thrust hydraulic cylinders returns to the oil tank through the hydraulic control one-way valve R2.

In case of emergency, the hydraulic power system is completely de-energized, the first motor M1 stops working, and all electromagnetic reversing valves are de-energized, then the one-way valve S3 may isolate the oil path of the accumulator X1 from the second main oil path, and the high-pressure oil in the accumulator X1 may enter the main oil paths of the thrust hydraulic cylinder, the core thrust hydraulic cylinder, the spacer-insert hydraulic cylinder, and the reverse thrust hydraulic cylinder, so that all the hydraulic cylinders are retracted.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a control principle of a rotational speed of the bit according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 10, the hydraulic power system of this exemplary embodiment may further include a second motor M2 and a third hydraulic pump B3, wherein an output shaft of the second electrode M2 is connected to a drive shaft of the third hydraulic pump B3, and an oil outlet of the third hydraulic pump B3 is connected to a hydraulic motor M3.

The safety relief valve K16 is configured to set the working pressure of the third hydraulic pump B3. A pressure sensor L8 is also connected to the oil outlet of the third hydraulic pump B3, and is configured to detect the working pressure of the third hydraulic pump set by the safety relief valve K16.

The piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder produces different thrusts to push the drilling moving guide rail, which may apply different drilling pressures to the bit, so as to meet the requirements of drilling coring on different formations. By adjusting the rotational speed of the first motor, the movement speed of the piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder can be adjusted, and the forward and backward speed of the bit may be further controlled by the moving guide rail, by on-off control of the electromagnetic reversing valve NC-2 in the switching control module, the movement speed of the piston rod of the drilling hydraulic cylinder can be switched between high speed and low speed.

Moreover, in the hydraulic power system according to this embodiment, safety relief valves are designed and installed in the enclosed hydraulic pipelines. In this way, in a downhole high-temperature environment, the hydraulic oil enclosed in the hydraulic pipelines thermally expands, the pressure thereof may be relieved from the safety relief valves, thus preventing local pressure from rising and damaging hydraulic valves due to the thermal expansion of the hydraulic oil inside the sealed hydraulic pipelines.
