[0024] It should be understood that terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not exclude the existence or addition of one or other elements or combinations thereof.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a flexible downhole working barrel 1 of the present invention comprises:
[0026] The pipe body 110 is made of a flexible material, and an enlarged cylindrical portion 111 is provided at the lower end of the pipe body 110, and a steel wire 112 is wound around the outside of the pipe body 110. As a preferred embodiment, a zipper 113 is provided on the wall of the cylindrical portion 111. As a further preferred embodiment, a longitudinal first pressing plate 170 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper portion of the pipe body 110, and a horizontal second pressing plate 180 is provided on the outer periphery of the top end of the pipe body 110. The upper portion of the pipe body 110 is bent downward, and one end of the first pressing plate 170 is connected to the upper end of the second pressing plate 180, so as to fix the pipe body 110 at the wellhead.
[0027] The circuit board mounting cylinder 120 is disposed in the cylindrical portion 111 .
[0028] The temperature sensor 130 and the vibration sensor 140 are respectively arranged in the cylindrical portion 111, and are located below the circuit board mounting cylinder 120 and are electrically connected to the circuit board mounting cylinder 120. As a preferred embodiment, the lower ends of the hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are electrically connected to the circuit board mounting cylinder 120 through a hydraulic-electrical connector 121.
[0029] The hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are arranged in parallel along the axial direction of the tube body 110 in the tube body 110, and the lower ends of the hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are electrically connected to the circuit board mounting tube 120, and the upper ends of the hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are electrically connected to the wellhead equipment.
[0030] During use, the upper end of the tube body 110 is fixed to the wellhead by the first pressing plate 170 and the second pressing plate 180. The hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are lowered into the flexible working cylinder 1 at the same time, and there is no need to connect the hydraulic pipeline and the electrical pipeline separately in series, so as to avoid the problem of easy wear of the hydraulic pipeline and the electrical pipeline when they are lowered. The circuit board installation cylinder 120 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 130 and the vibration sensor 140 below; the zipper 113 is placed on the cylindrical part 111, and the temperature sensor 130, the vibration sensor 140 and the circuit board installation cylinder 120 can be installed by opening the zipper 113, and the downhole vibration working condition and downhole temperature can be monitored at the same time; the tube body 110 between the first pressing plate 170 and the second pressing plate 180 is used as a safety warning rope 114. When the safety warning rope 114 is deformed, it indicates that the equipment is at risk of falling into the well and the personnel should evacuate as soon as possible.
[0031] In another embodiment, the lower ends of the hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are electrically connected to the circuit board mounting cylinder 120 via a hydraulic-electrical connector 121 .
[0032] In another embodiment, a zipper 113 is provided on the wall of the cylindrical portion 111 .

The cylindrical portion 111 at the lower end of the tube body 110 is spindle-shaped, and the tube body 110 is in the shape of a thin tube.

After the surface of the tube body 110 is cooled, the tube body 110 and the steel wire 112 are tightly infiltrated and bonded. When the flexible downhole mandrel 1 is underground, the outer layer of steel wire 112 is mainly stressed and withstands the scratches of the tube wall, ensuring that the overall flexibility is certain, while the internal tube body 110, temperature sensor 130 and vibration sensor 140 are not affected.
[0034] In another embodiment, a longitudinal first pressure plate 170 is provided on the upper periphery of the tube body 110, and a horizontal second pressure plate 180 is provided on the top periphery of the tube body 110.

[0037] In another embodiment, a plurality of convex strips 174 and 184 for increasing friction are provided in the first tube receiving groove 172 and the second tube receiving groove 182 .
[0038] In another embodiment, a buffer pad is disposed in the first tube receiving groove 172 and the second tube receiving groove 182 respectively to prevent the tube from being damaged.
[0039] In summary, the present invention provides a flexible downhole working tube 1, wherein the tube body 110 is made of a flexible material, and a steel wire 112 is wound around the outside of the tube body 110 to avoid violent impacts that may damage internal components. The hydraulic pipeline 150 and the conductive copper core 160 are arranged side by side in the tube body 110 to prevent wear. A first pressure plate 170 and a second pressure plate 180 are provided to fix the tube body 110 at the wellhead. The tube body 110 between the first pressure plate 170 and the second pressure plate 180 serves as a safety warning rope 114.
