US12366145 - Control module for a detonation sub and a detonation sub
The patent describes a control module for a detonation sub that includes a control circuit with a switch, power supply input, timer circuit, and a detonator output. It allows for the initialization of the timer circuit through a specific sequence of switch activation and power supply connection, ultimately generating a detonation signal after a predetermined time.
Claim 1
- A control module for a detonation sub, comprising: a control circuit having a switch, a power supply input, a timer circuit, and a detonation signal output electrically connected to a detonator; and a power supply that is selectively connected in electrical communication to the power supply input; wherein the timer circuit is initialized by activating the switch prior to connecting the power supply and deactivating the switch within an activation time, wherein, once initialized, the timer circuit generates a detonation signal after a detonation time. a control circuit having a switch, a power supply input, a timer circuit, and a detonation signal output electrically connected to a detonator; and a power supply that is selectively connected in electrical communication to the power supply input; wherein the timer circuit is initialized by activating the switch prior to connecting the power supply and deactivating the switch within an activation time, wherein, once initialized, the timer circuit generates a detonation signal after a detonation time.
