The retraction unit comprises a retraction plate 109, two telescopic rods 110, two springs 111, and a first handle 112. The test device 106 is clamped between the retraction plate 109 and the support plate 104. The delivery unit comprises a gas booster 113, a bracket 114, and a gas tank 115.

[0027] According to this specific embodiment, the test equipment 106 is placed between the retraction plate 109 and the support plate 104, and the first cylinder 103 is extended to move downward into the test box 101 for a high-pressure wellhead simulation test. At this time, the gas booster 113 pressurizes the gas and inputs it into the test box 101 from the high-pressure pipe 105.

[0028] Among them, the U-shaped plate 102 is fixedly connected to the test box 101 and is located above the test box 101, the first cylinder 103 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 102 and is located above the U-shaped plate 102, the output end of the first cylinder 103 passes through the U-shaped plate 102 and is fixedly connected to the support plate 104, the contraction unit is arranged on the support plate 104, and a test device 106 is placed on the contraction unit, one end of the two high-pressure pipes 105 are connected to the test box 101, and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the test box 101, and the two conveying units are respectively connected to the other end of the corresponding high-pressure pipes 105. The U-shaped plate 102 supports the first cylinder 103, and the contraction unit contracts to place the test equipment 106 between the support plate 104 and the contraction unit. The first cylinder 103 extends and moves downward into the test box 101 to perform a high-pressure wellhead simulation test. At this time, the delivery unit inputs high-pressure gas into the high-pressure pipe 105 and sprays it into the test box 101, thereby performing a simulation test on the test equipment 106 without placing the test equipment 106 in a field well. This makes it more convenient for R&D personnel to use and ensures their safety.

[0029] Secondly, the control panel 107 is fixedly connected to the test box 101 and is located on one side of the test box 101. The observation window 108 is fixedly connected to the test box 101 and is located below the control panel 107.

[0039] When using a high-pressure wellhead simulation device of this embodiment, the second cylinder 202 extends to drive the sealing plate 201 to move downward, and at the same time the support plate 104 enters the groove 203 to fit, sealing the top of the test box 101. At the same time, the pressure relief valve 205 is opened, and the pressure can be relieved through the pressure relief pipe 204, thereby adjusting the internal air pressure, thereby sealing the test box 101 and improving the simulation effect.

The second handle 304 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 301 and is located at one end of the sliding seat 301.

[0042] Based on the second embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 ,in Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the third embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 The present invention provides a high-pressure wellhead simulation device, which also includes two sliding assemblies, each of which includes a sliding seat 301, a plurality of moving wheels 302, two sliders 303, and a second handle 304. The bracket 114 has two sliding grooves 305.

[0043] According to this specific embodiment, the connection between the gas tank 115 and the gas booster 113 is disconnected, and then the second handle 304 is pulled, the slider 303 slides in the slide groove 305, and the sliding seat 301 is driven to slide out from under the bracket 114 through the moving wheel 302 to replace the gas tank 115.

[0044] The two sliding assemblies are respectively arranged below the corresponding gas storage tanks 115. The sliding assemblies can drive the gas storage tanks 115 to slide, making it easy to disassemble and replace the gas storage tanks 115.

[0045] Secondly, the gas tank 115 is placed above the sliding seat 301, which is located below the bracket 114. The plurality of moving wheels 302 are fixedly connected to the sliding seat 301 and are sequentially distributed below the sliding seat 301. The two sliders 303 are fixedly connected to the sliding seat 301 and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the sliding seat 301. The bracket 114 has two sliding grooves 305.

The second handle 304 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 301 and is located at one end of the sliding seat 301. The moving wheels 302 can move the sliding seat 301, which supports the gas tank 115. After the sliding seat 301 is placed, the sliders 303 are located in the sliding grooves 305 to prevent deviation and improve movement stability. The second handle 304 facilitates pulling the sliding seat 301 to move.

[0046] When using a high-pressure wellhead simulation device of this embodiment, when the gas tank 115 needs to be replaced, the staff first disconnects the gas tank 115 and the gas booster 113, and then pulls the second handle 304, the slider 303 slides in the slide groove 305, and drives the sliding seat 301 to slide out from under the bracket 114 through the moving wheel 302, and the gas tank 115 is replaced, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the gas tank 115, and there is no need to carry the gas tank 115, saving the staff's physical strength.
