The invention relates to a packer, in particular to a hanging type oil layer protection packer, which belongs to a packer particularly suitable for the underground oil layer production of low-pressure wells or water-sensitive oil reservoirs. The hanging type oil layer protection packer comprises a back-off sub, a rotation prevention key, a screw, an upper joint, a slide sleeve, a shear pin, a press cap, a sealing pad, a center pipe, a lining sleeve, a leather cup type rubber tube, a cone body, a slips assembly and a lower joint, wherein a groove is formed on the inner side of the upper part of the upper joint, the upper end of the slide sleeve is inserted into the back-off sub, the slide sleeve is fixed on the upper joint, the upper joint is connected with the press cap, the cone body is sheathed on the leather cup type rubber tube and is directly connected with the lining sleeve, and the lining sleeve, the leather cup type rubber tube, the cone body and the slips assembly are sheathed on the center pipe. The hanging type oil layer protection packer has a reasonable and compact structure, can be operated without hands, and can also be operated with hands, the structural conversion is flexible, the self sealing type rubber rube has reliable sealing, a flow discharge passage is designed in the tool structure, and the pumping generated in the pipe column dismounting process can be avoided. The construction working procedure is convenient, the oil layer can be protected, and the well flushing and oil extraction requirements can be met.
