Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an underground bidirectional shock absorber used for absorbing drill string vibration and reducing the impact load of the drill string in drilling engineering. Background Art

[0002] The shock absorber is one of the downhole tools required in drilling operations. It uses the shock absorbing elements inside the tool to absorb or reduce the impact load of the drill bit, the vibration load of the drill string, and the torsion load during the rotation and rock breaking process, thereby protecting the drill bit and drilling tools, reducing drilling costs, and improving drilling efficiency. Commonly used shock absorbers include mechanical shock absorbers and hydraulic shock absorbers. The vibration generated by the drill string is a composite vibration of longitudinal and torsional vibration. The use of a bidirectional shock absorber can reduce or eliminate the vibration caused by the rotation of the drill bit, and can eliminate the vibration source to a large extent. Therefore, a bidirectional shock absorber with dual axial and torsional shock absorption effects often has a better shock absorption effect.

[0003] Hydraulic shock absorbers use silicone oil as liquid springs, and their stiffness depends on the volume of silicone oil and the degree of filling. However, hydraulic shock absorbers have extremely high requirements for sealing. Wear of seals leads to oil leakage, and well temperature changes are very sensitive to silicone oil, so their reliability is not as good as mechanical shock absorbers. The core of mechanical two-way shock absorbers is a pair of large spiral thread pairs, which have extremely high requirements for the processing accuracy of the thread pairs, and the structure generally uses multi-thread pairs, which are expensive.

[0004] In view of the above technical background, the present invention particularly provides an underground bidirectional shock absorber, which has a simple structure and reliable operation, and overcomes the shortcomings of the existing bidirectional shock absorber. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a downhole bidirectional shock absorber in order to solve the problem of vibration caused by axial and rotational impact loads on downhole drill strings.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a downhole bidirectional shock absorber, which is composed of an outer cylinder, a support seat, a disc spring, an inner magnetic tile, an outer magnetic tile, an output shaft and an end cover. Its structural characteristics are: the upper end of the outer cylinder is threadedly connected to the upper drill string, and the lower end of the output shaft is threadedly connected to the lower drill string; a circle of raised steps is arranged at the lower part of the outer circle of the support seat, and the disc spring is installed on the outer circle of the support seat, and the disc spring is pressed by the raised steps at the lower part of the outer circle of the support seat; the lower end of the support seat is threadedly connected to the upper end of the output shaft; the inner magnetic tile has strong magnetism, and a plurality of inner magnetic tiles are evenly arranged circumferentially in the middle of the outer circle of the output shaft. The N pole and S pole of the inner magnetic tile are connected together in sequence to form a ring. There are several groups of tiles arranged in the axial direction, and the inner magnetic tiles are bonded to the output shaft with high-temperature glue; the outer magnetic tiles have strong magnetism, and several outer magnetic tiles are evenly arranged circumferentially in the middle of the inner cavity of the outer cylinder, and the N poles and S poles of the outer magnetic tiles are connected together in sequence to form a ring, and there are several groups of outer magnetic tiles arranged in the axial direction, and the outer magnetic tiles are bonded to the outer cylinder with high-temperature glue; the number of outer magnetic tiles and inner magnetic tiles corresponds to one by one, and there is a gap between the outer magnetic tiles and the inner magnetic tiles; after installation, the outer magnetic tiles and the inner magnetic tiles at the opposite position have opposite polarities and are in a state of mutual attraction; the outer magnetic tiles and the adjacent inner magnetic tiles at the opposite position have the same polarity and are in a state of mutual repulsion; the upper end of the end cover and the lower end of the outer cylinder are threadedly connected.

[0007] A sealing device is provided between the inner cavity at the upper end of the outer cylinder and the outer circle of the support seat; a sealing device is provided between the inner cavity at the lower end of the end cover and the outer circle of the output shaft.

[0008] The present invention can absorb the axial impact load and the rotational impact load of the drill string; the rotational torque of the outer cylinder is transmitted to the output shaft by utilizing the magnetic attraction and repulsion between the outer magnetic tile and the inner magnetic tile; when the lower drill string is subjected to a rotational impact, the circumferential relative position of the output shaft and the outer cylinder can be adaptively deflected to overcome the influence of the rotational impact load on the upper drill string; when the lower drill string is subjected to an axial impact load, the magnetic attraction and repulsion between the outer magnetic tile and the inner magnetic tile, as well as the pressure of the disc spring, allow the axial position of the output shaft and the outer cylinder to be adaptively offset to overcome the influence of the axial impact load on the upper drill string.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) the use of magnetic force to transmit torque and drilling pressure, when bearing axial and rotational impact loads, the drill string is not damaged, and the shock absorption effect is good; (2) the structure is simple and adaptable to complex working conditions downhole; (3) it has the ability to absorb axial vibration and circumferential vibration at the same time. The present invention is installed in the bottom drilling tool assembly and can be applied to formations with large differences such as gravel, soft and hard formations, etc. It can effectively eliminate the instability of the bottom hole operation of the drill bit caused by the vibration of the upper drill string in all directions, and effectively protect and greatly extend the life of the PDC drill bit.
