[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-12 A fully adaptive anchoring oil well tailpipe hanger includes an outer cylinder 2. A casing 1 is integrally formed and installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2. Two sets of connecting cylinders 3 are welded to the top of the outer cylinder 2. A sealing sleeve 5 is fitted at the joint of the connecting cylinders 3. Three through grooves 15 are opened inside the connecting cylinders 3. An installation block 30 is slidably arranged in the three through grooves 15. A slip 4 is welded to the outside of the outer cylinder 2 through the installation block 30. A recess is opened on the outer surface of the outer cylinder 2 corresponding to the slip 4. Several protrusions 6 are provided on the surface of the slip 4. A drive assembly is provided inside the outer cylinder 2. The drive assembly includes a frame 8 welded inside the outer cylinder 2. Two symmetrically arranged vertical plates 9 are welded inside the frame 8. A first moving block 31 and a second moving block 16 are slidably arranged between the vertical plates 9. A second rotating rod 32 is hinged to both the first moving block 31 and the second moving block 16. A fixed block 33 is hinged to the second rotating rod 32. The fixed block 33 is welded and fixed to the slip 4.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting block 30 is positioned in abutment against the through groove 15, and the first moving block 31 is positioned above the second moving block 16.

[0020] The outer sides of the two vertical plates 9 are respectively provided with a first movable groove 24 and a second movable groove 27. The second movable groove 27 includes a second movable groove 1 271 and a second movable groove 272. A first movable plate 22 is slidably arranged in the first movable groove 24, a second movable plate 23 is slidably arranged in the second movable groove 1 271, and a third movable plate 25 is slidably arranged in the second movable groove 272. A first connecting rod 26 is welded on both the second movable plate 23 and the third movable plate 25. A transmission gear 28 is installed in the middle of the vertical plate 9 with the second movable plate 23 through a coupling. A rack that meshes with the transmission gear 28 is provided on the opposite side of the first connecting rod 26.

[0021] Furthermore, the second movable groove 271 is located on the side away from the outer cylinder 2, and the second movable groove 272 is located on the side close to the outer cylinder 2.

[0022] Several limit frames 29 are also welded onto the vertical plate 9, which is equipped with transmission teeth 28. The limit frames 29 are all set to abut against the first connecting rod 26.

[0023] Furthermore, the first movable plate 22 is welded and fixed to the first moving block 31, and the third movable plate 25 is welded and fixed to the second moving block 16.

[0024] The top of the frame 8 is provided with a groove 17, and a connecting frame 18 is slidably disposed in the groove 17. The connecting frame 18 is welded and fixed to the first movable plate 22 and the second movable plate 23. Furthermore, one side of the connecting frame 18 extends to the outside of the frame 8, and the length between the connecting frame 18 and the first movable plate 22 is greater than the length between the connecting frame 18 and the second movable plate 23.

[0025] Specifically, the connecting frame 18 is located between the frame 8 and the vertical plate 9 and a first electric telescopic mechanism 19 is welded thereon. The end of the first electric telescopic mechanism 19 is equipped with a locking pin 20. The frame 8 has an inner groove 21 corresponding to the locking pin 20, and a number of locking holes are provided in the inner groove 21.

[0026] The inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 is threaded with a hydraulic assembly at the top of the frame 8. A movable head 7 is installed on the hydraulic assembly. A slot 10 is opened on one side of the movable head 7. A first rotating rod 12 is installed in the middle of the slot 10 through a coupling. A rotating sleeve 11 is sleeved on the first rotating rod 12. A pressure plate 13 is welded on the rotating sleeve 11.

[0027] Specifically, the surface of the connecting frame 18 has an embedding groove 14 corresponding to the pressure plate 13. The pressure plate 13 is inserted into the embedding groove 14 on the surface of the connecting frame 18, causing the connecting frame 18 to move downward.

[0028] Furthermore, a high-strength spring (not shown in the figure) is welded into the slot 10 opened on the movable head 7. The other end of the spring is welded and fixed to the pressure plate 13. The high-strength spring is set above the pressure plate 13, and the pressure plate 13 is controlled to abut against the connecting frame 18 by the spring.

[0029] Working principle: When this device is in use, the tail tube is threaded to the sleeve 1, and the movable head 7 is driven to move down by the hydraulic assembly. The spring installed in the slot 10 on one side of the movable head 7 drives the rotating sleeve 11 and the pressure plate 13 to rotate to the top of the connecting frame 18 and to abut against the connecting frame 18. The bottom of the pressure plate 13 moves into the embedded groove 14 of the connecting frame 18, and then the connecting frame 18 is driven to move down by the pressure plate 13. The connecting frame 18 drives the first movable plate 22 and the second movable plate 23 located on the same plane to move down. The first movable plate 22 moves down, causing the first movable block 31 welded to it to move down. The second movable plate 23 moves down, causing the first connecting rod 26 to move down. The first connecting rod 26 connected to the second movable plate 23 drives the transmission gear 28 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 28 drives the first connecting rod 26 connected to the third movable plate 25 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the second movable block 16 to move upward. By moving the first movable block 31 and the second movable block 16 towards each other, the hinged second rotating rod 32 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the mounting block 30 and the slip 4 to move outward, thus limiting the contact of tailpipes with different diameters. Simultaneously, after the hydraulic components drive the different moving heads 7 to move downwards until the slip 4 contacts the external tailpipe, the first electric telescopic mechanism 19 controls the locking pin 20 to embed into the locking hole in the inner groove 21. The locking pin 20 and the locking hole work together to fix the first moving block 31 and the second moving block 16, thereby fixing the position of the slip 4. The pressure plate 13 is then retracted into the empty groove 10, and the hydraulic components are reset.

[0030] Furthermore, the length of the extended part of the slip 4 is set to a. By moving the connecting frame 18 downward, the distance between the first moving block 31 and the second moving block 16 is reduced. At the same time, the angle of the second rotating rod 32 hinged on the first moving block 31 and the second moving block 16 changes, which in turn affects the distance that the mounting block 30 slides in the through groove 15, which is the length a of the extended part of the slip 4.

[0031] Furthermore, a distance sensor is installed at the bottom of the slip 4. The system analyzes the distance between the slip 4 and the pipe wall through the distance sensor and sets the initial distance between the slip 4 and the pipe wall as b0. At the same time, due to the shape of the well barrel and the possible protrusions and depressions inside the pipe wall, the data read by different distance sensors will be different, that is, the required extension length of different slips 4 is not consistent.

[0032] Therefore, in the initial state of the system, the hydraulic components push the three movable heads 7 downward, thereby controlling and driving all slips 4 to start radial expansion movement simultaneously, that is, a begins to increase. At the same time, because the b0 value corresponding to each slip 4 is different, those slips 4 with smaller b0, that is, those slips 4 closer to the well wall, will contact the well wall first, that is, a=b0. Once in contact, the well wall will generate a reaction force on the slip 4, preventing it from moving further radially, and controlling the movable head 7 corresponding to the slip 4 to stop working. At this time, the locking pin 20 is embedded in the locking hole in the inner groove 21 by the first electric telescopic mechanism 19. The locking pin 20 and the locking hole are used to fix the first moving block 31 and the second moving block 16, thereby fixing the position of the slip 4. At the same time, the pressure plate 13 cannot apply pressure to the fixed connecting frame 18. Therefore, the pressure plate 13 squeezes the spring, and the rotating sleeve 11 and the pressure plate 13 rotate until they retract into the empty groove 10. The movable head 7 continues to move downward, but does not drive the connecting frame 18 to move.

[0033] At this time, the hydraulic assembly controls the remaining moving heads 7 to continue working, and the slips 4 that have not yet been contacted will continue to expand outward until they also contact the well wall. Then the hydraulic assembly stops working, and the locking pin 20 is inserted into the locking hole in the inner groove 21 by the first electric telescopic mechanism 19 to complete the limiting process.

[0034] This mechanism ensures that each slip 4 can move independently to a position that is in close contact with the well wall, without the other hydraulic components being prevented from controlling the movement of other slips 4 because one slip 4 makes contact first.

[0035] Ultimately, all Kava 4s will overcome their respective b0 and make contact with the pipe wall.

[0036] b has different distances in different directions, which is a real and common situation in downhole operations. By using a synchronous hydraulic drive source, in conjunction with the independently movable slip 4 and the hinged first rotating rod 12 to control the rotation sleeve 11 and the pressure plate 13 to move the slip 4 to the same distance as the different initial distances b0 in each direction, a truly reliable full-circumference anchoring can be achieved.
