Trailer and Chassis Design for Mobile Core Scanning System

摘要

A chassis that supports a scanning system that images core samples from a wellbore. The chassis provides a mounting base for the scanning system for transportation of the scanning system, and also while the scanning system is in use and stationary. A suspension system mounts between the chassis and wheels that facilitate transportation of the chassis. The suspension system isolates the scanning system from shock and vibration encountered by the wheels while transporting the chassis and scanning system. In an example the chassis is a trailer, and which is pulled by a tractor. Legs can telescope downward from the chassis and against the surface on which the chassis is disposed. Airbags are strategically located within the chassis that absorb the vibration and thereby isolate the scanning system from the shock and vibration. Locations of the airbags include paths of force transmission between the wheels and the trailer.

主权项

1. A system for analyzing a core sample comprising:
a chassis; a core sample imaging device on the chassis; wheels coupled to the chassis; and a suspension system for absorbing shock and vibration that comprises an air bag assembly mounted in a path of force transmission between the wheels and the chassis.
