Design and Simulation of a New Hammer Source Control System

Abstract

There are a series of problems in using explosive source in land oil seismic exploration at present. Aiming at this problem, a new hammer source system which can replace explosive source was proposed. Function of the hammer source system was analyzed and a typical pneumatic control circuit was designed. With the advantages of strong impact, high speed and small gas consumption, quick air exhaust impact cylinder was used in the hammer source system. An electronic control system was designed based on PLC, including the hardware component and software design. The pneumatic control system was simulated and analyzed in AMESim, and the results showed that the system can meet the design requirements, provide a reference for engineering application.
