Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil casing technology, specifically a direct-connection casing. Background Technology

[0002] Straight-connect casing is a type of threaded connection without couplings. Its structural feature is that both ends of the casing are machined with internal and external threads, respectively, allowing for direct connection between the two pipes. It is mainly used in small-bore drilling, windowed sidetracking, and for repairing damaged wells by running small casing. Compared to casing with couplings, straight-connect casing does not increase the outer diameter significantly, thus allowing for smooth passage through existing wellbores and avoiding wellbore enlargement issues.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN107558934A discloses a direct-connection sleeve threaded joint, which adopts a submerged design and processing method. When meeting the requirement of h = (25%~40%)T, the wall thickness at the sealing surface is increased, which can improve the stability of the sealing performance and improve the compression resistance of the pipe body. However, existing direct-connection sleeves require the addition of multi-port pipes and valves for sampling, which is more material-intensive. At the same time, its sealing performance is affected by the thread processing, which has a high processing difficulty. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a direct-connection sleeve, which solves the problems of inconvenient sampling of direct-connection sleeves and the high processing difficulty caused by the influence of thread processing on the sealing performance of the sleeve.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0009] Preferably, a fixing groove is provided at one end of the tube body near the sliding ring, and a compression ring is fixedly connected in the fixing groove. Both ends of the compression ring are provided with round holes. A second ratchet is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding ring away from the tube body. The first ratchet and the second ratchet mesh with each other. The compression ring is made of rubber, and the first ratchet and the second ratchet are both made of stainless steel.

[0010] The above technical solution allows the second ratchet to press against the first ratchet, improving the tightness of the engagement.

[0011] Preferably, the sampling mechanism includes a sampling tube, with a sampling tube fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tube body, a circular groove opened on the outer wall of the tube body near the sampling tube, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sampling tube, a plurality of first through holes opened on the fixing plate, a spring fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate, and a sealing plate fixedly connected to the end of the spring away from the fixing plate.

[0012] The above technical solution enables the sealing plate to automatically seal under the action of the spring.

[0013] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected inside the sampling tube, and a second through hole is provided on the baffle. The baffle is located on the upper surface of the sealing plate. A third through hole is provided at the bottom end of the circular groove. A movable tube is slidably connected through the third through hole. A plurality of sampling holes are provided at one end of the movable tube near the baffle. A slider is fixedly connected to one side of the movable tube. The bottom end of the movable tube is flat. The movable tube is slidably connected through the baffle.

[0014] The above technical solution allows the liquid inside the tube to enter the movable tube through the first through hole, the second through hole, and the point through hole, and then flow out through the movable tube.

[0015] Preferably, a fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular groove, a slide rail is provided on one side of the fixed sleeve, a limiting groove is provided at the end of the circular groove near the sampling tube, a rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the circular groove, a slide rail is provided in the rotating sleeve, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the end of the rotating sleeve near the sampling tube, the limiting plate and the limiting groove slide against each other, the limiting plate and the fixed sleeve are integrally formed, and the fixed sleeve and the movable tube are concentrically arranged.

[0016] Preferably, the rotating sleeve has anti-slip textured edges at the end away from the sampling tube, the slide groove and the slider slide in mutual cooperation, the slide track and the slider slide in mutual cooperation, the rotating sleeve is made of stainless steel, and the limiting plate and the limiting groove slide in mutual cooperation.

[0017] The above technical solution allows the movable tube to move down and push open the sealing plate under the action of rotating the sleeve.

[0018] Preferably, the sealing plate is made of rubber, the sampling tube is made of stainless steel, the sampling tube and the fixing plate are integrally formed, the sealing plate and the sampling tube slide against each other, and the diameter of the sealing plate is larger than the second through hole.

[0019] The above technical solutions can improve the sealing effect of the sealing plate and increase the structural strength of the sampling tube.

[0020] Preferably, the tube body is made of stainless steel, the sliding ring and the protrusion are integrally formed, both the sliding ring and the protrusion are made of stainless steel, the outer surface of the tube body is coated with epoxy resin, and the sliding ring is concentrically arranged with the tube body.

[0021] The above technical solutions can improve the corrosion resistance of the pipe body and increase the structural strength of the sliding ring.

[0022] Working principle: The internal thread 12 of tube 1 is aligned with the external thread 2 of another tube 1 and rotated to bring the tubes 1 closer together. When rotated to the bottom, the first ratchet 6 and the second ratchet 9 engage. At this time, the second ratchet 9 pushes the sliding ring 3 to slide along the groove 7. The sliding ring 3 is supported by the compression ring 4, which compresses the connection of the tubes 1 to both sides, making the internal thread 12 and the external thread 2 engage more tightly and preventing loosening between the tubes 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the tubes 1, the compression ring 4 is hooked through the round hole 11 and pulled open, allowing the sliding ring 3 to move on the groove 7, causing the first ratchet 6 to engage. 6. The second ratchet 9 disengages, allowing the tube body 1 to rotate and separate. When sampling is required, the rotating sleeve 516 is rotated, causing the slider 510 to move. Under the limit of the slide rail 514, the slider 510 moves downward along the slide rail 514, causing the movable tube 58 to move downward, pushing open the sealing plate 55, allowing the liquid in the tube to enter the movable tube 58 through the first through hole 53, the second through hole 57, and the sampling hole 59, and then flow out. After the sampling is completed, the rotating sleeve 516 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the movable tube 58 to move upward. At this time, the sealing plate 55 descends under the action of the spring 54, closing and sealing the second through hole 57.

[0023] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0024] This invention provides a direct-connection sleeve. It has the following advantages:

[0025] This invention improves the sealing performance between pipe bodies by setting a first ratchet at one end of the pipe body, a sliding ring at the other end, and a second ratchet on the sliding ring. The meshing of the ratchets restricts the relative rotation between the pipe bodies, thereby improving the sealing performance between the pipe bodies. Furthermore, the compression ring allows the first and second ratchets to mesh more tightly. When disassembly is required, the compression ring can be pulled apart to both sides. Simultaneously, a sampling mechanism is installed on the pipe body. By rotating the pipe sleeve and cooperating with the fixed pipe sleeve, the movable pipe moves up and down, opening the sealing plate and facilitating sampling. Sampling can be performed without adding a valve body to the pipeline, greatly reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description
