In the present invention, the seat hanging self-locking rubber plug shrinks during the collision and pressure process, forcing the seat hanging ring 6 to expand and open the valve seat 13 with the floating hoop to realize mechanical seat hanging self-locking.

[0056] In the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the plug body 1 is in the shape of a cylindrical cone as a whole, and a plurality of triangular teeth are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plug body 1. The end face diameter of the lower end face of the plug body 1 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the middle part of the plug body 1.

[0057] In the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the length of the limiting shaft body of the spring limiting shaft 2 is longer than the length of the fixing ring 4. During the collision and pressing process, the rubber plug body 1 moves downward, and the seat hanging head body 701 of the seat hanging head 7 is compressed by the spring limiting shaft 2, so that the seat hanging ring 6 expands and realizes mechanical seat self-locking with the inner wall of the valve seat 13. In the present invention, the upper end of the rubber plug spring 3 is clamped on the lower surface of the limiting plate of the spring limiting shaft 2. The size of the limiting plate of the spring limiting shaft 2 matches the circular hole at the lower end of the rubber plug body 1. The size of the circular hole is determined according to the cooperation of the spring limiting shaft 2 and the circular ring protrusion 702. Ensure that the fixing ring 4 moves up and down along the limiting shaft of the spring limiting shaft 2.

[0061] In the present invention, the upper port of the valve seat 13 is provided with a countersunk hole, and the side wall of the countersunk hole is tapered. The countersunk hole at the upper port of the valve seat 13 increases the sealing gradient of the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug to the valve hole on the valve seat 13, and the side wall of the countersunk hole is tapered, which increases the sealing surface of the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug to the countersunk hole, and further improves the sealing between the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug and the valve seat 13.

[0064] In the present invention, the spring cover 17 is cylindrical, and a through hole is provided at the bottom thereof. The side wall of the spring cover 17 is hollowed out, and the upper end of the spring cover 17 is connected to the lower end of the valve seat 13 .

[0065] A method for using a seat-mounted self-locking floating collar and a matching rubber plug device, the specific steps are:

[0068] Step 3: Before cementing and displacement, install the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug into the casing string to displace cement slurry;

[0069] Step 4: When the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug enters the seat-hanging self-locking floating hoop, the scraper ring 9 scrapes the mud and debris from the inner hole of the valve seat 14 in a circulating manner. Finally, when the pressure ring 10 reaches the bottom of the inner hole of the valve seat 13, the seat head 7 compresses the spring backward and contracts. The rubber plug body 1 pushes the seat ring 6 to expand along the conical surface of the seat head 7 to realize the seat self-locking. At the same time, the first sealing ring 9 realizes the channel sealing to achieve the seat sealing.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the present invention is used, firstly, the seat-hanging self-locking floating collar of the present invention is installed between the 5-1 / 2" casing string, which can be used in conjunction with the floating shoe, and then the casing is strung into the well for cementing construction. Before cementing displacement, the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug of the present invention is installed in the casing string for displacement cement slurry construction. When the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug enters the seat-hanging self-locking floating collar, the scraper ring 9 scrapes the circulating mud debris on the inner hole of the valve seat 14. Finally, when the pressure ring 10 reaches the bottom of the inner hole of the valve seat 13, the seat hanging head 7 compresses the spring backward and contracts, and the rubber plug body 1 pushes the seat hanging ring 6 to expand along the cone surface of the seat hanging head 7 to realize the seat hanging self-locking. At the same time, the double inverted sealing ring 9 realizes the channel sealing, achieves the seat hanging sealing effect, and the reverse flow is quickly cut off, and the cement plug is prevented from being left in the casing at the bottom of the well. The use method of the whole device is simple to operate and has high safety.

[0071] In the present invention, the inner hole of the valve seat 13 is a round through hole with high surface finish. The present invention is simple to operate and highly safe. After the rubber plug is self-locked, the positive pressure of the floating hoop is greater than 65MPa.

[0072] The invention effectively solves the technical problems of unstable pressure and rubber plug floating caused by rubber plug wear in oil and gas horizontal wells, improves the positive pressure bearing capacity of the casing string after collision pressure, and meets the requirements of completion and fracturing on wellbore sealing.

[0073] The above examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any design that is the same or similar to the present invention belongs to the protection scope of the present invention. The device structure and method steps not described in detail in the present invention are all prior art and will not be further described in the present invention.

A seat-mounted self-locking floating collar and matching rubber plug device according to claim 1, characterized in that: A circular hole is formed at the lower end of the rubber plug body (1), a fixing ring (4) is arranged in the circular hole, the outer diameter of the limiting plate of the spring limiting shaft (2) arranged in the fixing ring (4) matches the size of the circular hole, and the limiting plate of the spring limiting shaft (2) is in contact with and connected to the bottom surface of the circular hole.

4. A seat-mounted self-locking floating collar and matching rubber plug device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The seat hanging head (7) is provided with a sealing groove (704), and a first sealing ring (9) is installed in the sealing groove (704).

5. The method for using the seat-mounted self-locking floating collar and the matching rubber plug device according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that: The specific steps are: Step 1: Install the self-locking floating collar between the required casing strings; Step 2: insert the casing into the well and perform cementing operations; Step 3: Before cementing and displacement, install the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug into the casing string to displace cement slurry; Step 4: When the seat-hanging self-locking rubber plug enters the seat-hanging self-locking floating hoop, the scraper ring (8) scrapes the mud and debris from the inner hole of the valve seat (13) in a circulating manner. Finally, when the pressure ring (10) reaches the bottom of the inner hole of the valve seat (13), the seat-hanging head (7) compresses the rubber plug spring backwards and the rubber plug body (1) pushes the seat-hanging ring (6) to expand along the conical surface of the seat-hanging head (7) to realize the seat-hanging self-locking. At the same time, the first sealing ring (9) realizes the channel sealing to achieve the seat-hanging sealing.
