[0003] In existing technologies, due to the limited space and harsh environment of the mine, vibrators are difficult to perform ideally, and the accompanying electrical equipment increases safety hazards in the mine. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing devices. Utility Model Content

[0009] This utility model provides an axial-flow downhole gas-driven turbine vibrator, which has the following advantages:
[0010] (1) This utility model sets up a three-stage turbine group, stator and eccentric rotating disk and other components, and uses compressed air as the power source to drive the axial flow pneumatic turbine to rotate. The energy conversion efficiency is high, and the compressed air can be recycled, which reduces energy consumption and operating costs to a certain extent. It does not involve electrical equipment and fire sources, thus avoiding safety hazards caused by electrical faults or sparks in the well, such as explosions and fires.
[0011] (2) This utility model, by setting up a rectifier ramp, stator and rotor turbine blades, and an axial flow design, allows the airflow to flow axially and interact with the turbine blades, more effectively converting the energy of the airflow into the mechanical energy of the turbine, and then into vibration energy.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an axial flow downhole gas-driven turbine vibrator, including a protective shell 1 and a three-stage turbine assembly 2. The front end of the protective shell 1 is provided with an air inlet channel 3, and the outer surface of the air inlet channel 3 is provided with a connecting thread 4, which can be stably connected to the gas injection pipe to ensure the sealing and connection strength of the entire system, laying the foundation for subsequent operations. The three-stage turbine assembly 2 includes a central shaft 6, a rotor base 7, and rotor turbine blades 8. Three turbine components of increasing size are arranged sequentially from the front end to the rear end on the side of the central shaft 6. The front end of each turbine component is a rotor base 7, which is rotatably connected to the central shaft 6 through bearings. The rotor turbine blades 8 are fixedly connected to the side of the rotor base 7. The rear end of each rotor base 7 is fixedly connected with an eccentric rotating disk 9, which can enhance the vibration effect. Inside the protective shell 1, a ring of stator turbine blades 10 is provided on the front side of the rotor turbine blades 8 of each turbine component for guiding the airflow. The three-stage turbine assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 1 through a connecting rod 5. The rear end of the protective shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 11 for gas ejection.
[0019] Furthermore, the rotor base 7 has an eccentric block inside, and the eccentric rotating disk 9 will generate vibration during rotation. This vibration is transmitted to the oil layer through the connection between the vibrator and the pipeline, so as to achieve the purpose of vibration oil extraction and realize the function of gas-driven vibration.
[0020] Furthermore, a flow-rectifying inclined surface 12 is provided at the front end of the central shaft 6, which can effectively rectify and guide the high-speed airflow. The flow direction of the stator turbine blade 10 is perpendicular to the rotor turbine blade 8 adjacent to its rear side. The turbine blades interact with each other, which more effectively converts the energy of the airflow into the mechanical energy of the turbine.
[0021] Furthermore, the inner radius of the protective shell 1 varies with the size of the internal turbine components. The overall device is an assembled structure with a compact overall structure, which facilitates installation and operation in confined downhole spaces. Key components such as the turbine and bearings are manufactured using high-quality and advanced processes, ensuring high reliability.
[0022] In summary, the working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the vibrator is securely connected to the gas injection pipe via the connecting threaded connection 4. Using the laid pipe, CO2 gas stored in the ground-based gas storage tank is safely and stably transported to the vibrator through the air intake channel 3. The protective shell 1 provides the airflow channel. The high-pressure airflow first reaches the rectifying inclined plane 12, where, under its effective rectification and guidance, it enters the three-stage turbine assembly 2 uniformly and stably. Here, the gas undergoes a three-stage process of decompression, expansion, and acceleration by the three-stage turbine assembly within the shell. Each stage of the turbine structure, based on fluid dynamics principles, gradually reduces the gas pressure while significantly increasing its speed, thereby efficiently converting the gas's internal energy into kinetic energy, providing the power source for subsequent vibration. The high-speed CO2 airflow forms a specific flow field under the guidance of the stator turbine blades 10, which in turn drives the rotor turbine blades 8 to rotate the rotor base 7 and the eccentric rotating disk 9 at high speed. During rotation, strong and stable vibrations are generated. After vibration is complete, the CO2 airflow is ejected from the gas inlet 11 and then enters the formation along the gas injection pipe.
