[0002] "Continuous composite tubing" refers to a special type of tubing or casing used in the oil and gas industry. These tubings are typically constructed from multiple layers of composite materials to provide enhanced performance and durability to withstand challenging downhole environments and operating conditions. A centering and positioning device for continuous composite tubing is a piece of equipment used in oil and gas extraction to ensure the correct position and orientation of the tubing or casing during downhole installation.
[0003] In the prior art, the straightening and positioning device for continuous composite tubing only guides the tubing at the head, and there is no related equipment at the wellhead. Therefore, this invention proposes a straightening and positioning device for continuous composite tubing, which aims to solve the problem of tubing friction damage to the tubing when entering the well passage and at the wellhead. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, multiple mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the mobile platform, hydraulic rods are fixedly connected between the mounting blocks on the same side, and moving rods are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two hydraulic rods. Two front and rear rotating frames are rotatably connected to both the left and right ends of the mobile platform, and wheels are rotatably connected to the ends of the four rotating frames away from the mobile platform. The front and rear ends of the two moving rods are rotatably connected to the opposite ends of the two rotating frames on the same side.
[0008] Preferably, each set of support components includes a spherical universal joint a, which is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the moving platform. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the spherical universal joint a away from the moving platform. A spherical universal joint b is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the spherical universal joint a. The end of the spherical universal joint b away from the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer end of the tube.
[0009] Preferably, two lights are fixedly connected to the front end of the mobile platform, a handle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mobile platform, protective frames are fixedly connected to the front end and both sides of the mobile platform, and spherical universal joints e are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the mobile platform.

[0014] Preferably, the three protective frames are respectively positioned outside the two hydraulic rods and the lighting lamp.
[0015] Working Principle: During use, first move the equipment to the designated area, then activate the hydraulic rod. The hydraulic rod pulls the moving rod, causing the rotating frame to rotate, thereby retracting the wheels and bringing the base into contact with the ground. With the directional adjustment of the spherical universal joint e, the base can increase the contact area with the ground as the ground level changes, thus making the moving platform more stable on the ground. Then, activate the dual-head servo motor to drive the eccentric extrusion block to rotate, releasing the pressure of extrusion blocks a and b on adjacent sleeve rods b and sliding rod b. This allows sliding rod b to slide between adjacent sleeve rods b. Under the action of gravity, the tube remains in a vertically downward state. Since spherical universal joints a, b, c, and d are all adjustable in all directions... Therefore, the through-tube can automatically adjust its vertical position under the action of gravity. When the through-tube is in the vertical position, the dual-head servo motor is restarted to drive the eccentric extrusion block to rotate. The protruding end of the eccentric extrusion block pulls the tie rod, causing extrusion block a and extrusion block b to jointly extrude the two adjacent sleeve rods b. Then, the sliding rod b is fixed between the two adjacent sleeve rods b, thereby fixing the bottom of the through-tube. Then, the oil pipe passes through the middle of the through-tube. Under the action of the spring, the sliding rod a is pushed to drive the rubber sliding column to constrain the oil pipe, so that it is always in the middle position of the through-tube. This avoids the oil pipe rubbing against the wellhead and damaging the oil pipe. Due to the retractability of the spring, this device can be used for oil pipes of different diameters. After the device is used, the hydraulic rod is restarted to drive the wheel to reset.
[0016] This invention provides a centering and positioning device for continuous composite oil tubing. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The present invention utilizes the cooperation of the through tube, the push assembly, the rubber protective plate, the sleeve a, the slide rod a, the limit block, the slide groove a, the spring, and the rubber slide column to enable the spring to push the slide rod a to drive the rubber slide column to squeeze the oil pipe, so that the oil pipe is always in the middle position of the through tube. In addition, the push assembly can be used for oil pipes of different diameters due to the retractable action of the spring.
[0018] 2. This invention, through the cooperation of a support assembly, a through-tube, a slide bar b, a pull rod, an extrusion block a, an extrusion block b, an eccentric extrusion block, a dual-head servo motor, a sleeve rod b, and a sliding groove b, enables the support assembly to support and fix the through-tube inside the moving platform. Under the action of gravity, the through-tube is always in a vertically downward state. The dual-head servo motor drives the eccentric extrusion block to pull the pull rod, which pushes the extrusion block b and the extrusion block a to fix the sleeve rod b and the slide bar b together, thereby fixing the bottom of the through-tube and ensuring that the oil pipe is always in a vertical state inside the through-tube.
[0019] 3. This invention utilizes the cooperation of a hydraulic rod, a moving rod, a rotating frame, wheels, a spherical universal joint e, and a base to enable the hydraulic rod to move the moving rod, thereby rotating the rotating frame. This allows the wheels to be extended and retracted, preventing the equipment from shaking during operation. Additionally, the spherical universal joint e allows the base to adjust its direction according to the ground conditions, increasing the contact area between the base and the ground and making the moving platform more stable.
