Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underground coiled tubing operations, and in particular to an underground coiled tubing traction device. Background Art
[0002] When operating in a long horizontal section of coiled tubing, there are problems such as difficulty in drilling down and difficulty in drilling. In some cases, the coiled tubing may even be locked, making it difficult to move the coiled tubing forward. At present, various technologies are used to alleviate such problems in coiled tubing operations. In addition, the coiled tubing has the characteristics of light weight, low rigidity, large deflection, and small radial size. During the lowering operation, a large annular space gap will be formed between the coiled tubing and the casing, making it difficult to withstand the axial load and causing large deformation. It is very easy to buckle and even lock.
[0003] Downhole tractor is a new type of downhole motion device proposed as horizontal well technology is widely used in oil and gas development. It can meet the needs of various downhole operating instruments and other auxiliary operations in horizontal wells, thereby solving the problem that downhole operating instruments or equipment are difficult to be transported to the predetermined position in high-angle wells and horizontal wells by gravity. Patent CN109681137 A discloses a one-way hydraulic telescopic continuous pipe tractor. The above-mentioned support block is used to grasp the mechanism attached to the well wall, and the mechanism that grasps the well wall by force control slips has a serious problem: it is easy to get stuck when encountering casing collars or mud, sand and gravel during drilling operations. Patent CN 109973032 A discloses a single-inclined block spring sheet supported continuous pipe traction robot. The tool requires electric drive. For some operating tool strings that do not require electric drive, the operation process of equipping them with power and lowering cables into the well is too cumbersome, which takes a lot of time and increases the cost of a single operation.
[0004] With the in-depth development of oil or natural gas, there are more and more horizontal wells or high-angle wells, and many high-efficiency continuous pipe equipment have appeared one after another. Due to their own weight, the operating tool string and the continuous pipe are closely attached to the casing wall when entering and pulling out of the horizontal well or high-angle well. When dealing with this type of well condition, the downhole tools cannot be lowered to the predetermined position, and the continuous pipe is a flexible pipe, which brings great inconvenience to the subsequent production increase operation. Therefore, how to reduce the contact friction between the operating tool string and the well wall is extremely critical. Patent CN 205805418 U discloses a hydraulic vibration tool, which uses the rotation of the rotor to control the relative movement of the upper and lower connecting valves to change the size of the flow area, thereby causing the hydraulic vibration tool and the tool string connected to it to vibrate. Its disadvantages are that the filter screen blocks too much sediment, the replacement after damage, the replacement of the rotor after wear, and the control of the flow area. Patent CN 210509045 U discloses a hydraulic pulse oscillation tool, which has a novel structure but is complicated to process and assemble. Various factors such as the size and angle will affect the state of the fluid passing through the channel, ultimately resulting in the inability to generate pulses and vibration operations.
[0005] The inability of the coiled tubing to rotate is the biggest technical difficulty encountered in downhole operations of the coiled tubing. The large friction resistance leads to low mechanical drilling speed, weak penetration depth capability, and inability to penetrate to the designed target position. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0037] Example: Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the downhole continuous tubing traction device of this embodiment comprises a vertical outer shell 1 and a vertical inner tube 2, wherein the upper and lower ends of the outer shell 1 are respectively provided with an upper connection port 11 and a lower connection port 12; the inner tube 2 is assembled in the outer shell 1, wherein the upper end thereof is connected to the upper connection port 11, and the lower end thereof is connected to the lower connection port 12 via a fluid power conversion mechanism 4, and a plurality of auxiliary wheels 22 are respectively arranged around the upper and lower parts of the inner tube 2 at annular intervals, and the auxiliary wheels 22 respectively pass through the matching notches on the outer shell 1; a switch valve assembly is arranged inside the upper end of the inner tube 2, and a fluid pressure relief port 21 is arranged on the upper end side wall of the inner tube 2, and the switch valve assembly is used to open or block the lumen of the inner tube 2 under fluid impact; a start disk 25 is arranged inside the lower end of the inner tube 2, and the lower end of the inner tube 2 is surrounded by a fluid pressure relief port 21. The rotating shaft is hinged with multiple connecting rods 28 that can swing up and down relative to it. The connecting rod 28 extends upward at one end away from the inner tube 2 and is rotatably equipped with a contact wheel 6. The side of the outer shell 1 is provided with corresponding slots for the contact wheel 6 to pass through. The starting disk 25 is connected to the connecting rod 28 through a linkage mechanism. A rebound mechanism 58 is provided between the connecting rod 28 and the inner tube 2. The starting disk 25 is used to drop under the impact of the fluid after the switch valve assembly opens the tube cavity of the inner tube 2, so that the connecting rod 28 is driven by the linkage mechanism to overcome the elastic force of the rebound mechanism 58 and drive the contact wheel 6 to pass through the corresponding slot; the fluid power conversion mechanism 4 is transmission-connected to the contact wheel 6, and is used to convert the fluid kinetic energy into mechanical energy for driving the contact wheel 6 to rotate when the fluid passes through it.
[0038] The usage process is as follows:
[0039] Step 1: Before use, ensure that the contact wheel 6 of the device is in the retracted stage, the fluid pressure relief port 21 is in the open state, and the upper connection port 11 on the device is connected to the oil pipe;
[0040] Step 2: Place the device (indicated by M in the figure) into the well (indicated by a in the figure), and then inject water into the upper connection port 11 of the device. If the water flow rate is less than the pressure relief volume of the fluid pressure relief port 21, the device is in standby mode.
[0041] Step 3: If it is necessary to move forward, the water flow needs to be increased so that the water intake is greater than the pressure relief. At this time, the equipment should be in a high-pressure state. When the pressure is higher than the set valve threshold, the switch valve assembly opens the inner cavity of the inner tube 2 and closes the fluid pressure relief port 21. The fluid flows downward through the switch valve assembly inside the inner tube 2. The flowing water will first impact the start disk 25. The start disk 25 will move downward under pressure, thereby driving the connecting rod 28 to swing through the linkage mechanism, and driving the above-mentioned connecting rod 28 to overcome the elastic force of the above-mentioned rebound mechanism 58 to drive the above-mentioned contact wheel 6 to pass through the corresponding above-mentioned slot and contact the well wall. At the same time, during the downward flow of the fluid in the inner tube 2, it will act on the fluid power conversion mechanism 4. The fluid power conversion mechanism 4 converts the fluid power into mechanical energy to drive the above-mentioned contact wheel 6 to rotate, thereby driving the contact wheel 6 to rotate, and realizing the movement of the entire equipment downward along the well wall.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the linkage mechanism includes a piston assembly 81, a hydraulic rod 82, an annular guide frame 83 and a connecting arm 84. The piston assembly 81 has a piston chamber, which is installed at the lower end of the inner tube 2. A piston rod extending vertically upward is arranged in the piston chamber. The upper end of the piston rod is connected to the lower end of the starting disk 25. The hydraulic rod 82 is vertically assembled on the outer wall of the inner tube 2. The piston chamber is connected and communicated with the cavity of the hydraulic rod 82 through a pipeline (denoted by d in the figure). The guide frame 83 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the inner tube 2. The hydraulic rod 82 is connected to the lower end of the guide frame 83. One end of the connecting arm 84 is connected to the guide frame 83. The guide frame 83 is hinged, and the other end is movably connected with the connecting rod 28. The starting disk 25 moves downward under the impact of the fluid, and the oil pressure in the piston cavity is injected into the cavity of the hydraulic rod 82 through the piston rod, thereby driving the rod part of the hydraulic rod 82 to contract and driving the guide frame 83 to move downward, thereby driving the connecting rod 28 to overcome the elastic force of the rebound mechanism 58 and swing downward through the connecting arm 84, and making the contact wheel 6 extend out of the housing 1 through the slot, or when the starting disk 25 is not impacted by the fluid, the rebound mechanism 58 drives the connecting rod 28 to swing back to its original position, thereby driving the contact wheel 6 to contract into the housing 1 through the slot.
[0043] In the above embodiment, when the fluid impacts the start disk 25, the start disk 25 moves downward and pushes the piston rod to shrink into the piston cavity. In this process, the piston rod pushes the piston to pressurize the oil pressure in the piston cavity into the cavity (rod cavity) of the above hydraulic rod 82, thereby driving the rod portion of the above hydraulic rod 82 to move downward and shrink, thereby driving the guide frame 83 to move downward, and then driving the connecting rod 28 to swing downward through the connecting arm 84, so that the contact wheel 6 extends from the gap of the outer shell 1 and contacts the well wall (the synchronous rebound mechanism 58 is deformed). When there is no fluid impacting the start disk 25, or the fluid impact gradually decreases, the rebound mechanism 58 restores the deformation and drives the contact wheel 6 to shrink from the gap of the outer shell 1 and tightly into the outer shell 1. The entire structure is realized through a mechanical structure, and the structural design is reasonable and ingenious.
[0044] In this embodiment, the rebound mechanism 58 is a spring. When the contact wheel 6 extends out of the notch of the housing 1, the spring is stretched and deformed.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the fluid power conversion mechanism 4 includes a vertical roller 41, a flexible telescopic sleeve 42 and a vertical mounting sleeve 43. The upper end of the roller 41 is rotatably sealed and connected to the lower end of the inner tube 2, and a swirl sheet 411 extending spirally from top to bottom is provided inside the roller 41. A wavy annular groove 412 is provided in the middle section of the outer wall of the roller 41. The mounting sleeve 43 is arranged below the roller 41, and its lower end extends into and is sealed and nested in the lower connecting port 12. The telescopic sleeve 42 is connected between the upper ends of the roller 41 and the mounting sleeve 43, and the telescopic sleeve 42 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the roller 41. A transmission rod 431 extending vertically upward is fixed on the side wall of the mounting sleeve 43. A fixed bracket 26 is connected to the lower end of the inner tube 2, and the transmission rod 431 is slidably connected to the fixed bracket 26 up and down. The upper end of the transmission rod 431 is provided with a linkage block 432 extending into the annular groove 412. The rotating shaft is rotatably equipped with an intermediate wheel 7 corresponding to the contact wheel 6 one by one. The contact wheel 6 is transmission-connected to the intermediate wheel 7 through a belt. The fixed bracket 26 is provided with a power wheel 9 corresponding to the intermediate wheel 7 one by one. The power wheel 9 is located below the corresponding intermediate wheel 7, and the two are connected by a belt. The mounting sleeve 43 is movably connected to the non-center position of the end face of the power wheel 9 through a force transmission arm 521. The auxiliary wheel 22 located at the lower part of the inner tube 2 is assembled at the lower end of the fixed bracket 26.
[0046] In the above embodiment, when the fluid flows downward through the inner tube 2 and enters the drum 41, the fluid acts on the swirl sheet 411, driving the drum 41 to rotate. During the rotation of the drum, the wavy annular groove 412 forces the linkage block 432 to move up and down along it. Since the linkage block 432 is connected to the transmission rod 431, and the transmission rod 431 does not rotate, the transmission rod 431 is driven to slide up and down relative to the fixed bracket 26. During the up and down sliding process of the transmission rod 431, the telescopic sleeve 42 is driven to telescope up and down, and the installation sleeve is driven to move upward and downward. The cylinder 43 reciprocates up and down, and the installation sleeve 43 drives the power wheel 9 to rotate through the force transmission arm 521 connected thereto during the up and down reciprocating movement (the power wheel 9 and the upper end of the force transmission arm 521 are eccentrically connected, so the force transmission arm 521 drives the power wheel 9 to rotate during the up and down movement). During the rotation of the power wheel 9, the intermediate wheel 7 is driven to rotate through the belt, and the intermediate wheel 7 then drives the contact wheel 6 to rotate through the belt, thereby realizing the movement of the contact wheel 6 along the well wall (rolling downward). The entire design uses the impact of the fluid to realize the movement of the entire equipment along the well wall.
[0047] In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 and the inner tube 2 are both cylinders and are coaxially distributed.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the fixed bracket 26 is surrounded by a plurality of strip holes corresponding to the transmission rod 431 , the strip holes extend up and down, the transmission rod 431 is located outside the fixed bracket 26 , and the linkage block 432 passes through the corresponding strip holes.
[0049] In the above implementation scheme, the fixed bracket 26 adopts a cylindrical bracket body with strip holes on all sides to correspond to the transmission rod 431 one by one, ensuring that the transmission rod 431 can be stably connected and matched with the fixed bracket 26 and achieve a good up and down sliding relationship.
[0050] As a preferred embodiment, Fig.10 , 11As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the switch valve assembly includes a tubular shell-shaped piston body 23 and a fluid drive assembly 5. The bottom wall of the piston body 23 is penetrated by a fluid opening 231, and its side wall is provided with an opening 232 corresponding to the fluid pressure relief port 21. A vertically extending flow limiting column 24 is fixed to the middle of the lower end of the inner tube 2. The upper end of the flow limiting column 24 passes through the fluid opening 231, and a blocking disk 241 for blocking the fluid opening 231 is provided at the upper end thereof. The fluid drive assembly 5 is installed at the upper portion of the inner tube 2. The fluid driving assembly 5 is used to drive the piston body 23 to move downward to cover the fluid pressure relief port 21 under the impact of the fluid, and separate the blocking disk 241 from the fluid opening 231, or drive the piston body 23 to move upward back to the opening 232 to communicate with the fluid pressure relief port 21, and make the blocking disk 241 block the fluid opening 231; a hole is provided in the middle of the starting disk 25, and the limiting column 24 passes through the hole of the starting disk 25.
[0051] In the above implementation scheme, in the initial state (that is, when the equipment has just been put into the well and the contact wheel 6 is still in a retracted state), at this time, the fluid pressure relief port 21 and the opening 232 on the piston body 23 are in a state of overlapping and interconnecting, and the sealing disk 241 is in a state of just covering the fluid opening 231 of the piston body 23. The fluid entering the upper part of the inner tube 2 is discharged through the opening 232 and the fluid pressure relief port 21. As the fluid flow rate increases, the water intake is greater than the pressure relief amount. At this time, the equipment should be in a high-pressure state. When the pressure is higher than the set valve threshold, the fluid drive component 5 will drive the above-mentioned piston body 23 to move downward under the impact of the fluid to block the above-mentioned fluid pressure relief port 21, and separate the above-mentioned sealing disk 241 from the above-mentioned fluid opening 231. After reaching the destination, it returns to normal. The fluid flow and pressure are sufficient. When the equipment needs to be retracted, the fluid flow (that is, the pressure) is increased. The greater fluid pressure impact will cause the fluid drive component 5 to drive the above-mentioned piston body 23 to move upward and return to its position, so that the sealing disk 241 re-seals the fluid opening 231. At the same time, during the upward movement of the piston body 23, the internal pressure of the piston cavity is depressurized. Under the deformation recovery of the rebound mechanism 58, the linkage mechanism runs in reverse to retract the contact wheel 6 into the outer shell 1. At the same time, the opening 232 is reconnected with the above-mentioned fluid pressure relief port 21, and the above-mentioned sealing disk 241 blocks the above-mentioned fluid opening 231. In the whole design, two large flow impacts can make the piston body 23 reciprocate up and down once, thereby realizing the extension and retraction operation of the contact wheel. The design is very clever.
[0052] As a preferred embodiment, the fluid drive component 5 includes a sliding bracket 51, a triangular locking path 52 and an elastic locking rod 53. A support frame is provided at the upper part of the inner tube 2. The sliding bracket 51 can be vertically slidably assembled on the support frame, and its lower end is connected and fixed to the piston body 23. The locking path 52 is vertically assembled on the upper end of the sliding bracket 51, and its lower end is connected to the support frame through an elastic member 524. The locking rod 53 is vertically arranged, and its lower end is connected and fixed to the support frame, and its upper end is provided with a locking hook adapted to the locking path 52. The locking hook is hung on the locking path 52. The upper part of the locking path 52 is the horizontal bottom side of the triangle, and the The horizontal bottom edge is bent downward to form a concave gear area 522, with waist edges on both sides. The above-mentioned sliding bracket 51 is used to move downward under the impact of the fluid, and make the locking hook of the above-mentioned locking rod 53 move upward along the waist edge on one side of the above-mentioned locking path 52 to the gear area 522 of the horizontal bottom edge, and compress the above-mentioned elastic member 524 in the process, or the above-mentioned sliding bracket 51 is used to continue to move downward under the impact of the fluid with greater pressure again, and make the locking hook of the above-mentioned locking rod 53 disengage from the above-mentioned gear area 522, and continue to move downward along the waist edge on the other side of the above-mentioned locking path 52, and in the process the above-mentioned elastic member 524 restores its deformation and pushes the above-mentioned sliding bracket 51 back to drive the piston body 23 to move upward and return to its original position.
[0053] In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the fluid impacts the sliding bracket 51, the fluid drives the sliding bracket 51 to move downward, thereby causing the locking path 52 to move downward relative to the locking rod 53 (and compressing the elastic member 524). In this process, the locking hook of the locking rod 53 moves upward along the waist edge of the locking path 52 to the upper horizontal bottom edge of the locking path 52, and enters the gear area 522 along the locking path 52. If the fluid pressure does not increase, the sliding bracket 51 maintains the current position, that is, the piston body 23 maintains the current position, and the fluid continues to flow through the inner tube 2, thereby driving the fluid power conversion mechanism 4 to operate, realizing the rolling movement of the contact wheel 6 along the well wall, providing the contact wheel 6 with rotational power. When the equipment needs to be recovered, the flow rate (pressure) of the fluid is increased, and the fluid impacts the sliding bracket 51 with a greater pressure, which will make The sliding bracket 51 moves downward, so that the locking hook of the locking rod 53 moves upward and exits the gear zone 522. Since the locking rod 53 is an elastic rod, under the action of its slight deformation force, the locking hook of the locking rod 53 will move to the other waist side track of the locking path 52, and the locking rod 53 and the locking path 52 will release the locked state from each other. Then, after the fluid pressure decreases, the elastic member 524 restores its deformation and drives the sliding bracket 51 to bounce back upward, thereby driving the piston body 23 to move upward and return to its position, thereby cutting off the inner cavity of the inner tube 2, and driving the contact wheel 6 to retract into the outer shell 1 through the linkage mechanism, so that the entire device can be pulled out. The entire design is very clever, and the locking path 52, the locking rod 53 and the elastic member 524 cooperate with each other to realize the up and down movement of the piston body 23 under the impact of water flow.

[0056] In the above embodiment, when the sliding bracket 51 moves downward, the push rod connecting rod 523 is driven to move downward, so that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic chamber 211 is injected into the hydraulic energy storage chamber 212, and distributed to the rodless chamber of each hydraulic telescopic rod 224 through the hydraulic energy storage chamber 212 and the pipeline, thereby pushing the piston rod of the hydraulic telescopic rod 224 to extend.

When the entire equipment needs to be recovered, the sliding bracket 51 moves upward, the hydraulic chamber 211 loses pressure, and the oil in the rodless chamber of the hydraulic telescopic rod 224 flows back to the hydraulic energy storage chamber 212. And redistribute into the hydraulic chamber 211, that is, the process of the piston rod of the hydraulic telescopic rod 224 retracting.
