Definitions
- ABSTRACT A one-shot sensor valve receives a mechanical-force from pump rod movement and operates to pressurize REGULATED AIR SUPPLY ONE SHOT TANK the pump rod moves back to its original position, the
- one-shot tank is discharged into fluidic logic circuitry which energizes a counter and passes the air signal to a ratemeter transfer valve and into a one-shot-storage valve.
- the one-shot storage valve stores air pressure in a second one-shot air tank and a time air tank receives compressed air at a constant and predetermined rate from a flowrater through the ratemeter transfer valve.
- the transfer valve When the transfer valve is energized, the pressure in the time tank is transferred through a booster relay to a readout device.
- the second one-shot air tank is released into a dump pilot valve operator and a dump valve to discharge the time air tank.
- the time tank is building pressure at a set rate determined by the flowrater.
- the time between pulses is then represented by a pressure buildup in the time tank.
- the flowrater is replaced with a timing motor which drives a timing disc having a hole therethrough which causes air to be passed alternately through a pair of air switches which respectively cause an air volume tank to be pressured upand dumped at a rate commensurate with the rotation of the disc.
- the pressure in the air timing tank at any time is thus proportional to the rate of pulses generated by the one-shot sensor valve or by the mechanical force that causes the one-shot sensor valve to operate.
- This invention relates to the measurement of the total number of impulses and the instantaneous rate of such impulses. More specifically, the invention relates to apparatus using fluidic components to count impulses corresponding to pump strokes in oil well equip-' ment and which determine the total number of such impulses and the rate of such impulses.
- the objects of the present invention are accomplished, generally, by the provision of apparatus which causes air pressure to be stored in a timing tank at a predetermined set rate wherein the pressure in such tank is transferred to a readout device at a time corresponding to the occurrence of another impulse.
- the amount of pressure which is transferred to the readout device is proportional to the instantaneous rate of occurrence of such impulses.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of the counting circuitry according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the ratemeter cir-' embodiment of a portion of the ratemeter circuitry of FIG. 2.
- a regulated air supply 10 having an output air line 11 which is coupled into a low pressure air regulator 12, the output of which is monitored by the air gauge 13.
- the air line 11 is also connected to an input 14 of a one-shot sensor valve 15.
- the one-shot sensor valve 15 is a spring loaded two way valve which is connected to the reciprocating pump rod 16 of a pump 17, for example, a mud pump on an oil well derrick (not shown).
- the one-shot sensor valve is conventional, for example the Microswitch No. 64NF1 available from the Honeywell Corp. of Freeport, Ill.
- the sensor valve 15 Connected to another input 18 of the sensor valve 15 is an air tank 19 bearing the legend one shot tank.”
- the sensor valve 15 also has an output orifice 20 to which a long, for example, 200 feet-length of pipe or tubing 21 is connected.
- a conventional bleed valve 22 is connected to the air line 21.
- the output of the air gauge 13 is connected by an air line 23 to a junction 24 which is coupled into a pair of pneumatic NOR gates 25 and 26.
- NOR gates are conventional, for example, being turbulence amplifiers available from the Fluidic Division of the Howie Corp., Norristown, Pa.
- the junction 24 is connected to the supply tube 27 of the NOR gate 25 and to the supply tube 28 of the NOR gate 26.
- the collector tube 29 of the gate 25 is connected to the control jet 30 of the gate 26.
- the tubing 21 from the one-shot sensor valve 15 is connected to the control jet 31 of the gate 25.
- the collectortube 32 of the gate 26 is connected to a solenoid 33 of the pneumatic amplifier 34 by the air line 35.
- the pneumatic amplifier 34 is a conventional spring loaded amplifier valve, for example a Model No. 5BV011 available from the Norgren Fluidics Co. of Littleton, Colo.
- the inlet 36 of valve 34 is connected to the regulated air supply 10 through the air line 11.
- the outlet 37 of the valve 34 is connected by the air line 38 to an output junction 39 and to a conventional pneumatic counter 40 for counting the number of fluidic impulses appearing in the air line 38.
- the movement of the pump rod 16 causes the one-shot tank 19 to receive pressurized air from the regulated air supply through the inlet 14 in valve 15.
- the air in the oneshot tank 19 passes along the air line 21 to the control jet of the NOR gate 25. Since the NOR gate 25 is a turbulence amplifier, this interrupts the stream of air from the supply tube 27 to the collector tube 29 and thus there is no output appearing in the collector tube 29.
- This lack of air in the air line between the collector tube 29 and the control jet 30 causes there to be an amount of air passed from the supply tube 28 to the collector tube 32 in the NOR gate 26, this amount of air being determined by the low pressure regulator 12.
- This impulse of air is then passed along the air tube 35 to control the solenoid 33 in the amplifier valve 34.
- the pump 17 has reciprocated 2,345 times as shown on the counter 40.
- the junction 39 is connected to a solenoid 41 of the one-shot storage valve 42.
- One of the inlets 43 of the valve 42 is connected by the air line 44 to the regulated air supply 10.
- Another orifice 45 in the valve 42 is connected to a one-shot air tank 46.
- the outlet 47 of the valve 42 is connected to the solenoid 48 of a dump pilot valve 49.
- the air line 50 which connects the outlet 47 and the solenoid 48 has a slow bleed valve 51 located therein.
- the inlet orifice 52 of the pilot dump valve 49 is connected to the air line 44.
- the outlet 53 of the valve 49 is connected to the solenoid 54 of the dump valve 55.
- Another outlet 56 of the valve 49 is connected to the ambient air for bleeding purposes.
- the input junction 39 is also connected by air line 57 to the solenoid 58 of the transfer valve 59.
- the orifice 60 of the transfer valve 59 is connected to the air time tank 61 which is also connected to the inlet 62 of the dump valve 55.
- the output orifice 63 of valve 55 is connected to ambient air for dumping the time tank 61.
- the input orifice 64 of the transfer valve 59 is connected to the output of the flowrater 65, the regulated air supply and flowrater 65 being located within the dotted line area 66.
- the output orifice 67 of the transfer valve 59 is connected to a booster relay 68 which is also connected to the regulated air supply 10 by the air line 69.
- the output of the booster relay 68 is connected to a pneumatic readout device 70.
- the valves 42, 55 and 59 are conventional, for example, the Model No. 3l6F2-178 In-Val-Co available from the Microvalve Co. of Tulsa, Okla.
- the pilot dump valve 49 is also conventional, for example, the Model No. SBVOI 1 available from Norgren Fluidics of Littleton, Colo.
- the booster relay 68 is also conventional, for example, Model No. GC68A available from Moore Products Co. of Springhouse, Pa.
- an air impulse appearing at input terminal 39 causes the solenoid 41 to be actuated in the valve 42.
- This causes the one-shot air tank 46 to receive air from the regulated air supply 10 through the inlet orifice 43.
- the spring loaded valve 42 returns to its original position and the air stored in the one-shot tank 46 passes through the output orifice 47 to the solenoid 48 of the pilot dump valve 49.
- This causes air from the regulated air supply 10 to pass through the input orifice 52 of the 'pilot dump valve 49 and on to the solenoid 54 of the dump valve 55.
- the air in the line 50 then bleeds off through the timing orifice 51 and the solenoid 48 of the pilot dump valve49 returns to its original position.
- the air impulse appearing at input terminal 39 is also connected to the solenoid 58 of the transfer valve 59.
- the output of the flowrater 65 Prior to the solenoid 58 being actuated, the output of the flowrater 65, being conventional and delivering air impulses at a predetermined rate,is coupled into the timing tank 61.
- the air pressure which has been stored in the time tank 61 is then transferred over to the output orifice 67 of the transfer valve 59 and through the booster relay 68 to the readout device 70.
- the time tank 61 is building pressure at a set rate as determined by the flowrater 65.
- the time between pulses is then represented by a pressure buildup in the time tank 61.
- the pressure in the timing tank 61 at any given time is proportional to the rate of pulses generated by the one-shot sensing valve 15 or the mechanical force of the reciprocating pump rod 16 that causes the oneshot sensing valve 15 to operate.
- FIG. 3 there is illustrated an alternative embodiment of the dotted line portion 66 of FIG. 2, being identified by the numeral 66'.
- the regulated air supply 10 is connected by the air line to a pneumatic motor 81 having a shaft 82 and a rotating disc 83 attached thereto.
- a hole 84 Located near the periphery of the disc 83 is a hole 84 therethrough.
- a pair of air switches 85 and 86 are arranged on opposite sides of the disc 83, i.e., 180 apart. Each of the air switches is arranged on the periphery of the disc such that air passes through each of the switches only when the hole 84 passes through the respective switch.
- the input side 87 of the switch 85 is connected to the air line 80 and the input side 88 of switch 86 is also connected to the air line 80.
- the output side 89 of switch 85 is connected to the solenoid 90 of the switching valve 91.
- the output side 92 of switch 86 is connected to the solenoid 93 of the switching valve 94.
- the inlet orifice 95 of the valve 91 is connected to the air line 80.
- the outlet orifice 96 of valve 91 is connected to the air volume tank 97 which is also connected to the inlet orifice 98 of valve 94.
- the outlet orifice 99 of valve 94 is connected to output terminal 100 which is connected to the inlet orifice 64 of the transfer valve 59 of FIG. 2.
- the air line 80 is also connected to output terminal 101 which is connected to the relay 68 in P16. 2.
- the air switches 85 and 86 are conventional, for example, Model No. 4JS-020-D00 available from Norgren Fluidics of Littleton, Colo.
- the switches 91 and 94 are conventional, for example, being available as Model No. SBVOll from Norgren Fluidics of Littleton, Colo.
- the regulated air supply 10 causes the pneumatic motor 81 to rotate at a constant speed. This causes the hole 84 in the disc 83 to activate the air switch 85 each time the hole 84 passes therethrough. Each time this happens, the solenoid 90 causes the valve 91 to be activated, thus causing the regulated air supply to pressurize the air volume tank 97. As the disc 83 rotates, this activates the air switch 86 which in turn activates the valve 94, causing the volume tank 97 to be discharged through the output terminal 100 and into the time tank 61 of H0. 2. Thus, it should be appreciated that this supplies a means of digitally charging the time tank 61 of FIG. 2. Since the speed of the motor 81 is held constant, the repeated transfer of the air from the volume tank 97 into the time tank 61 causes the air pressure within the time tank 61 to be increased at a known rate.
- the indicator 70 is a continuous recorder driven in response to drilling depth, it becomes quite simple to measure and record mud pump strokes per foot of drilled depth.
- the relay 68 can be so-called inversing type relay which causes a reduced output for an increased input, such as is useful for measuring the rate of impulses directly.
- the pneumatic circuit illustrated and described with respect to FIG. 2 can be modified such that the air pressure in the time tank 61 is varied in the other direction, i.e., decreased following each impulse.
- the timing tank is initially pressurized to a known value and then allowed to bleed down until the occurrence of an air impulse of interest.
- the pressure in the tank at that moment is thus nonetheless indicative of the time between impulses. For example, if it is known that the pressure in the tank decreases from 45 p.s.i. to 30 p.s.i. in 10 seconds, a reading of 30 p.s.i. indicates that the pulses are 10 seconds apart at the time of measurement.
