Drill hole logging tool with modular components
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11947066B2) discloses a reduced length modular drill hole logging tool designed for geological identification purposes. The tool includes a tool head, a diameter and profile measurement system with extendible caliper arms, a gamma radiation detection system, additional removable modules for geological data collection, and a control module housed within the tool head. The tool is equipped with various sensors such as a water/mud sensor assembly, a temperature probe, and a magnetic susceptibility and conductivity system to gather comprehensive geological data efficiently.
Furthermore, the patent describes a drill hole logging system that incorporates an autonomous tracked or wheeled vehicle with an articulating arm to deploy a tool canister housing the drill hole logging tool into the drill hole. The articulating arm allows precise alignment of the canister with the drill hole for measurements to be conducted. The system is designed for rapid positioning, deployment, and retrieval of the drill hole logging tool, with the autonomous vehicle capable of transitioning between drill holes quickly, streamlining the workflow for geological data collection in drill holes.
