Abstract

A mud pulser includes an inlet assembly, a main-valve assembly, a servo-valve assembly, a motor assembly and a collar. The servo-valve assembly has a servo-valve, which includes a servo-valve plugging member and a servo-valve chamber housing the servo-valve plugging member and having a first orifice and a second orifice. A servo-valve shaft is connected to the servo-valve plugging member and configured to be driven to perform a reciprocating movement that causes the servo-valve plugging member to alternately block the first orifice and the second orifice. The alternate blocking of the first orifice and the second orifice triggers movements in the main-valve assembly to restrict or release mud flow to generate mud pulse.
