Abstract
The present application relates to self-adjusting damping vibration absorbers, in particular to a self-adjusting damping vibration absorber for while-drilling instruments and an adjusting method thereof. The self-adjusting damping vibration absorber includes a vibration monitor and controller tool and a vibration absorber body. The vibration monitor and controller tool is mounted inside the downhole while-drilling instrument, one end of the vibration absorber body is connected to the vibration monitor and controller tool through an insulating connector, the joint is provided with an insulating pad, the other end is connected to a sensor or circuit board tool that needs vibration damping, and the inside of the vibration absorber body is provided with a damping adjustment layer made of an electroactive polymer. By controlling the magnitude of an applied voltage, the damping adjustment can be realized, and the damping adjustment layer has the characteristics of high response speed and high control precision. The self-adjusting damping vibration absorber of the present application can adjust the vibration absorber damping according to the changes of the downhole vibration and temperature, so that the vibration absorber inherent frequency avoids or is far away from the vibration frequency of the downhole while-drilling instrument so as to avoid resonance, and thereby, the vibration absorber achieves the best vibration damping effect.
