[0029] The pressure differential opening sliding sleeve currently used, in order to ensure that the sliding sleeve is in a normally open state after the sliding sleeve is opened, the sliding sleeve core is usually locked to the sliding sleeve outer cylinder through a locking mechanism such as a locking ring. This method can keep the sliding sleeve in a normally open state without affecting normal production. However, when the pressure differential sliding sleeve needs to be closed, the sliding sleeve of this structure cannot be closed.

[0030] In view of this, the present invention provides a closable pressure differential sleeve, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The closable differential pressure sleeve comprises a main body 100 with a sandblasting hole 001 at the lower part, an opening sleeve 200 arranged in the main body 100 and a closing sleeve 300 arranged above the opening sleeve 200, and the opening sleeve 200 blocks the sandblasting hole 001; in a first working state, the opening sleeve 200 moves upward, and the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300 are locked in a first locking state by a first locking mechanism 400, at which time the sandblasting hole 001 is opened; in a second working state, the closing sleeve 300 pushes the opening sleeve 200 to move downward, and the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300 are locked in a second locking state by a second locking mechanism 500, at which time the sandblasting hole 001 is closed.

[0031] In the first working state, the opening sleeve 200 moves upward and opens the sandblasting hole 001, and the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300 are locked by the first locking mechanism 400 so that the sleeve can remain in the open state; in the second working state, the closing sleeve 300 pushes the opening sleeve 200 to move downward and blocks the sandblasting hole 001, and the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300 are locked by the second locking mechanism 500 so that the sleeve is closed.

[0032] In an optional solution of this embodiment, a first sliding section 210 is disposed on the upper portion of the opening sliding sleeve 200, and a gap is formed between the first sliding section 210 and the body 100; a second sliding section 310 is disposed on the lower portion of the closing sliding sleeve 300, and the second sliding section 310 extends into the gap formed by the first sliding section 210 and the body 100; the first sliding section 210 and the second sliding section 310 are slidably connected. The opening sliding sleeve 200 and the closing sliding sleeve 300 can move independently without interfering with each other.

[0033] In the optional solution of this embodiment, the first locking mechanism 400 includes a first groove 410 located on the outer end surface of the first sliding section 210 and a first C-type locking ring 420 located on the inner end surface of the second sliding section 310. In the first working state, the opening sleeve 200 moves upward. When the first groove 410 on the opening sleeve 200 moves to the first C-type locking ring 420 on the closing sleeve 300, the first C-type locking ring 420 returns to its original state and is inserted into the first groove 410, the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300 are in the first locking state. At this time, the sandblasting hole 001 is open and the sleeve is in the open state.

[0034] Preferably, a sealing ring 1400 is provided on the opening sliding sleeve 200 and the closing sliding sleeve 300 respectively, so that the closing sliding sleeve 300 can be effectively sealed.

[0035] In an optional scheme of this embodiment, the opening sleeve 200 is fixed to the body 100 by the first shear nail 1200, and the closing sleeve 300 is fixed to the body 100 by the second shear nail 1300; in the first working state, after the packer completes the sealing, the pressure in the tubing string is accumulated, and the pressure acts on the opening sleeve 200. Through the area difference on the opening sleeve 200, the opening sleeve 200 is pushed to cut off the first shear nail 1200, and the opening sleeve 200 is unlocked from the body 100 and moves upward; in the second working state, by applying a downward force to the closing sleeve 300, the second shear nail 1300 is broken, and the closing sleeve 300 is unlocked from the body 100, and after the first working state, the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300 are locked, and the closing sleeve 300 pushes the opening sleeve 200 to move downward together.

[0036] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the closable differential pressure sleeve further includes an upper joint 700 disposed on the upper part of the body 100, the upper joint 700 and the body 100 are connected via a connecting sleeve 800, the upper part of the connecting sleeve 800 is located inside the upper joint 700, and the lower part of the connecting sleeve 800 is located inside the body 100. The upper joint 700 is connected to the pipe string via threads.

[0037] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the closable differential pressure sleeve further includes a lower joint 1500 disposed at the lower part of the body 100, and the lower joint 1500 and the body 100 are connected by bolts. The lower joint 1500 is provided with an external thread, the pipe column is provided with an internal thread, and the lower joint 1500 and the pipe column are threaded.

[0038] In an optional scheme of this embodiment, the closed pressure differential sleeve drives the closing sleeve 300 to move downward through a closing ball plug 600. If the sleeve 300 needs to be closed, the closing ball plug 600 matching the sleeve is inserted. When the closing ball plug 600 falls onto the closing sleeve 300, the second shear pin 1300 is pressed, thereby releasing the lock between the closing sleeve 300 and the main body 100.

[0039] For the shape and structure of the closing ball plug 600, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The closing ball plug 600 includes a cylindrical upper ball plug 610 and a lower ball plug 620 with a smooth arc surface. The outer diameter of the upper ball plug 610 matches the inner diameter of the upper joint 700, and the lower ball plug 620 is inserted into the top opening of the closing sleeve 300. Preferably, a sealing ring 1400 is provided on the closing ball plug 600. When the sleeve is closed, if the sealing ring 1400 on the closing sleeve 300 fails to form a seal, the sealing ring 1400 on the closing ball plug 600 and the closing sleeve 300 can form a self-sealing, forming a "double insurance" for closing the sleeve.

[0040] In an optional scheme of this embodiment, the top wall of the connecting sleeve 800 and the lower part of the upper joint 700 form a first annular groove with an opening facing the interior of the upper joint 700; a step structure is provided on the outer side of the upper part of the closing sleeve 300. In the first working state, the lower end face of the connecting sleeve 800 abuts against the upper end face of the step structure of the closing sleeve 300 and the upper part of the outer wall of the closing sleeve 300 fits against the inner wall of the upper joint 700, thereby compressing the second C-type locking ring 520 into the first annular groove.

[0041] The second locking mechanism 500 includes a second groove 510 located on the closing ball plug 600 and a second C-type locking ring 520 located in the first annular groove; when the closing ball plug 600 is put into operation, the closing ball plug 600 breaks the second shear pin 1300 when it falls onto the closing sleeve 300, and the closing sleeve 300 is unlocked from the main body 100, and the closing ball plug 600 pushes the closing sleeve 300 to move downward, and when the second groove 510 on the closing ball plug 600 moves to the second C-type locking ring 520, the second C-type locking ring 520 returns to its original state and is inserted into the second groove 510, thereby opening the sleeve 200, the closing sleeve 300 and the closing ball plug 600 are in the second locking state, and at this time, the sandblasting hole 001 is closed.

[0042] In an optional scheme of this embodiment, a liquid outlet 002 is provided on the upper part of the upper joint 700, and an outer sleeve 900 is provided on the outer part of the upper joint 700 and the main body 100; in a first working state, the outer sleeve 900 is in a locked state with the main body 100 through a third locking mechanism 1000, and the outer sleeve 900 blocks the liquid outlet 002; in a second working state, the outer sleeve 900 is unlocked from the main body 100.

[0043] In the optional solution of this embodiment, the third locking mechanism 1000 includes a fixed locking block 1010, and the fixed locking block 1010 has a locking state and an unlocking state. The body 100 is provided with a first opening, and the outer sleeve 900 is provided with a third groove. In the first working state, when the fixed locking block 1010 is in the locking state, the closing sleeve 300 presses the fixed locking block 1010 outward so that the fixed locking block 1010 passes through the first opening and the third groove at the same time, thereby locking the outer sleeve 900 and the body 100, and the liquid outlet 002 is blocked by the outer sleeve 900; in the second working state, when the closing sleeve 300 moves downward, the step structure of the closing sleeve 300 moves to the fixed locking block 1010, and the fixed locking block 1010 loses the squeezing force and slides inward and enters the gap formed by the step structure and the body 100, and the fixed locking block 1010 is separated from the outer sleeve 900, thereby releasing the locking of the outer sleeve 900 and the body 100.

[0044] In the optional scheme of this embodiment, the outer periphery of the upper joint 700 is provided with a first step 710, and the outer periphery of the body 100 is provided with a second step 110, and the first step 710 and the second step 110 form an installation space; the top of the outer sleeve 900 abuts against the first step 710, and a telescopic member is provided between the bottom of the outer sleeve 900 and the end face of the second step 110, and the telescopic member is configured to always have a tendency to drive the outer sleeve 900 to move upward in the installation space. When liquid flows in the pipe column, the outer sleeve 900 moves downward under the pressure of the liquid and opens the liquid outlet 002, and the liquid in the pipe column flows out; when the liquid pressure decreases, the telescopic member pushes the outer sleeve 900 to move upward and blocks the liquid outlet 002.

[0045] Preferably, the telescopic member can be set as a compression spring 1100, the upper end of the compression spring 1100 is connected to the bottom of the outer sleeve 900, and the lower end of the compression spring 1100 is connected to the upper end surface of the second step 110. The compression spring 1100 is always in a compressed state and has a tendency to drive the outer sleeve 900 to move upward. The outer sleeve 900 and the compression spring 1100 form a one-way valve system to ensure that the entire pipe column forms a liquid flow channel through the liquid outlet 002 to meet various upper construction requirements.

[0046] The working process of the closable differential pressure sleeve is described as follows:

[0047] The closable differential pressure sleeve is lowered together with the fracturing operation string. At this time, the closable differential pressure sleeve is in the initial state. Figure 1As shown, after the tubing string is lowered to the designed position, a sealing ball is inserted, and when the sealing ball reaches the sealing ball seat position, the sealing packer is pressed. After the packer completes the sealing, the pressure in the tubing string is accumulated, and the pressure acts on the opening sleeve 200. Through the area difference on the opening sleeve 200, the opening sleeve 200 is pushed to cut off the first shear nail 1200, and the locking of the opening sleeve 200 and the body 100 is released. The opening sleeve 200 moves upward under the action of pressure, and when the first groove 410 on the opening sleeve 200 reaches the first C-type locking ring 420, the first C-type locking ring 420 returns to its original state, realizing the locking of the opening sleeve 200 and the closing sleeve 300. At this time, the sleeve is fully opened to make way for the sandblasting hole 001, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, fracturing construction can be carried out.

[0048] If you need to close the sliding sleeve 300, Figure 3 As shown, a closing ball plug 600 matching the sliding sleeve is put in, and when the closing ball plug 600 falls on the closing sliding sleeve 300, it presses and cuts the second shear pin 1300, and at this time, the closing ball plug 600 pushes the closing sliding sleeve 300 and the opening sliding sleeve 200 to move downward together, and when the second groove 510 on the closing ball plug 600 moves to the second C-shaped locking ring 520, the second C-shaped locking ring 520 returns to its original state to achieve locking so that the closing sliding sleeve 300, the opening sliding sleeve 200 and the closing ball plug 600 form a locked state, and at this time, Figure 4 As shown, the sandblasting hole 001 is closed. During the closing process of the sleeve, when the sealing rings 1400 on the closing sleeve 300 and the opening sleeve 200 fail to form a seal, the sealing ring 1400 on the closing ball plug 600 and the upper joint 700 can form a self-sealing, forming a "double insurance" for the closing of the sleeve; at the same time, during the downward movement of the closing sleeve 300, the fixed locking block 1010 loses its extrusion, and the fixed locking block 1010 moves inward and disengages from the third groove to unlock the outer sleeve 900 and the body 100. After the sleeve is closed, the outer sleeve 900 and the compression spring 1100 form a one-way valve system to ensure that the entire pipe string forms a liquid flow channel through the liquid outlet hole 002 to meet various upper construction needs, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0049] The closable differential pressure sleeve provided in the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0050] 1. The sliding sleeve can be closed after opening;

[0051] 2. The opening and closing process of the sliding sleeve is realized by the movement of two sliding sleeves respectively. The two processes do not interfere with each other and the operation is reliable;

[0052] 3. The opening and closing of the sliding sleeve are locked by the locking ring to ensure the stability of the opening and closing state;

[0053] 4. The pressure differential sleeve can be closed by throwing the closing ball plug 600, which is simple and convenient to operate;

[0054] 5. The closing ball plug 600 and the upper joint 700 can be self-sealed, realizing the "double insurance" of the closing of the sliding sleeve;

[0055] 6. After the sleeve is closed, the liquid outlet hole 002 can be opened to provide a liquid passage for other operations in the reservoir above the pressure differential sleeve.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
