The invention discloses an elastic centralizer, and relates to the technical field of oil extraction. The elastic centralizer is characterized in that a lower shell and a gathering and transportationpipeline are welded together, each of the upper and lower portions of the cylindrical section of a body is provided with a rotating sleeve, the upper and lower portions of each rotating sleeve are provided with positioning sleeves, and three air cylinder barrels, pistons,
piston rods and push plates are arranged on the outer circle surfaces of the rotating sleeves correspondingly. The elastic centralizer has the beneficial effects that the push plates rotate circumferentially along a fixed rotation direction, meanwhile, the push plates move up and down, oil
wax and impurities attached to the inner walls of oil pipes are scraped off by the push plates in the circumferential direction and the length direction of the oil pipes, so that the smoothness of a
crude oil production pipeline is kept, the oil extraction efficiency is improved, the
energy consumption is reduced, and the air pressure in the air cylinder barrels is adjusted; the elastic centralizer is suitable for various oil wellsand oil pipes with different diameters, when the centralizer passes through the narrow parts of the inner walls of the oil pipes or the bent parts of a horizontal well, the elastic support of the
compressed air can adapt to the change, so that the clamping stagnation phenomenon is avoided, the smooth movement of a
sucker rod is kept, and the problems that the rigidity of a
metal elastic element cannot be changed, and the
metal elastic element is easily blocked by impurities and loses elasticity are avoided.
