The support bearing 211 can facilitate the rotation of the rotating rod 210 and support the rotating rod 210 during the rotation process. The rotating rod 210 is rotatably arranged inside the support bearing 211, and a connecting block is fixedly arranged between the large bearing 203 and the fixed arc plate 204; A circular gear 209 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 210, and the circular gear 209 is meshed with the toothed rod 201. An outer ring 208 is fixedly provided on the outer sleeve of the rotating rod 210, and the outer wall of the outer ring 208 contacts the outer wall of the outer rotating ring 200. Multiple groups of connecting vertical plates 207 are fixedly provided between the two groups of large bearings 203. The two groups of large bearings 203 can be connected together by connecting the vertical plates 207. The large bearings 203 are composed of an outer ring, an inner ring and a ball. The ball is arranged between the outer ring and the inner ring. The outer ring is fixed to the outer rotating ring 200, and the inner ring is fixedly connected to the connecting block, the bracket 205 and the L-shaped frame.
[0021] Embodiment 2 Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig. 9 A bracket 205 is also fixedly provided on the top of the large bearing 203, and a locking screw 213 is threadedly connected to the inside of the bracket 205. The locking screw 213 can be used to fix the outer rotating ring 200 to avoid accidental rotation of the outer rotating ring 200 when the outer rotating ring 200 is not rotated, and the working end of the locking screw 213 is in contact with the outer wall of the outer rotating ring 200.
[0022] The present invention adopts a designed adjustment mechanism, and during use, the diameter of the centralizer can be adjusted according to the diameter of the slightly larger or smaller casing. The movable arc plate 206 moves synchronously to contact and clamp the casing body 100, so that it can be installed on the casing of slightly larger or smaller diameter for use, avoiding the need to prepare multiple centralizers of different diameters, thereby saving costs and increasing the applicability of the centralizer to the casing body 100 of slightly larger or smaller diameters.
[0023] During use, the centralizer is adjusted according to the diameter of the casing body 100. When adjusting, the outer rotating ring 200 is rotated to drive the outer ring 208 to rotate, the outer ring 208 drives the rotating rod 210 to rotate, and the rotating rod 210 drives the circular gear 209 to rotate, thereby driving the toothed rod 201 meshed with it to move to the middle position close to the centralizer, and then the movable arc plate 206 can be driven to move, and then the movable arc plate 206 is moved until the inner wall diameter of the movable arc plate 206 is greater than and close to When the diameter size of the casing body 100 is reached, the centralizer stops moving, and then the centralizer is sleeved from the bottom of the casing body 100 to a suitable position outside the casing body 100, and then the outer rotating ring 200 is rotated, which indirectly drives the movable arc plate 206 to move in a direction close to the casing body 100 and contact and clamp it, so that the centralizer can be fixed on the casing body 100, so that the centralizer can be installed and fixed according to the casing body 100 with a slightly larger or smaller diameter size, thereby increasing the applicability of the centralizer.
[0024] Embodiment 3 Based on Example 2, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , an adjustment component is provided between the two sets of fixed arc plates 204, for adjusting according to the inner diameter of the well wall; The adjustment component includes two groups of hollow arc blocks 300 and elastic strips 302. The two ends of the elastic strips 302 can penetrate into the interior of the hollow arc blocks 300. The hollow arc blocks 300 are installed on the fixed arc plates 204, so that the ends of the elastic strips 302 can penetrate into the interior. An internal threaded seat 303 is embedded and installed on the elastic strips 302. A spiral column 305 is connected to the interior of the internal threaded seat 303 through a thread. A small bearing 304 is sleeved and fixed on one end of the spiral column 305. The small bearing 304 can facilitate the movement of the elastic sheet 301. The elastic sheet 301 is fixedly arranged on the small bearing 304. A limiting rod 306 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the elastic sheet 301. A through hole is opened inside the elastic strip 302. The end of the limiting rod 306 passes through the inside of the through hole and contacts the well wall through the outer wall of the elastic sheet 301, so as to avoid the casing body 100 directly contacting the well wall, thereby reducing the friction resistance generated by the well wall to the casing body 100 during use. An internal thread ring 308 is embedded in the inner wall of the hollow arc block 300, and a locking stud 307 is threadedly connected to the inside of the internal thread ring 308. The locking stud 307 can be used to fix the end of the elastic strip 302 that penetrates into the hollow arc block 300, and the working end of the locking stud 307 extends to the inner wall surface of the elastic strip 302.
[0025] The present invention adopts a designed adjustment component, which can adjust the diameter formed by the multiple elastic sheets 301 according to the inner wall diameter of different wells during use, so that the stabilizer can meet the dimensions of the well wall with different diameters, and it is convenient to put the stabilizer into the well for use, thereby increasing the applicability of the stabilizer to well walls with different diameters. Moreover, when the elastic sheet 301 is worn after being used for many times, it can be replaced, thereby improving the use effect of the stabilizer.
[0026] During use, when installing the centralizer, the elastic strip 302 is adjusted according to the inner wall size of the well. During adjustment, the spiral column 305 is rotated toward the middle position or the opposite position close to the centralizer, driving the small bearing 304 to move, and then the elastic sheet 301 can be driven to move outward or inward to a suitable position, so that the diameter formed by the multiple elastic sheets 301 is consistent with the diameter of the well wall, which is convenient for placing the centralizer into the well, increasing the applicability of the centralizer to well walls of different diameters, and when the elastic sheet 301 moves, it will drive the limit rod 306 to move in the elastic strip 302, so as to limit the moving elastic sheet 301; When installing the elastic strip 302 and the elastic sheet 301 on the centralizer, press the two ends of the elastic strip 302 in opposite directions, then insert the two ends of the elastic strip 302 into the corresponding hollow arc block 300, and finally rotate the locking stud 307 in the direction close to the elastic strip 302, so that the working end of the locking stud 307 contacts and clamps the elastic strip 302, and the elastic strip 302 and the elastic sheet 301 on the elastic strip 302 can be installed; When the elastic sheet 301 is worn after repeated use, the spiral column 305 is turned outward to unscrew it, driving the end of the spiral column 305 away from the elastic sheet 301 to disengage from the interior of the internal threaded seat 303 and the end of the limiting rod 306 to disengage from the interior of the elastic strip 302, and then the elastic sheet 301 can be removed. Then, a new elastic sheet 301 can be installed according to the reverse principle mentioned above.
[0027] Embodiment 4 Based on Example 3, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 A rotating member is provided between the two sets of outer rotating rings 200, for driving the outer rotating rings 200 to rotate; The rotating member includes a vertical rod 400 and a fixed ring 404 sleeved and fixed on the outside of the vertical rod 400. The fixed ring 404 can drive the outer rotating ring 200 to rotate when rotating, and the outer wall of the fixed ring 404 contacts the outer wall of the outer rotating ring 200. An upper bevel gear 403 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the vertical rod 400. When the rotating column 402 rotates, it drives the lower bevel gear 406 to rotate, thereby driving the upper bevel gear 403 to rotate, thereby driving the vertical rod 400 to rotate. A fixed seat 401 is fixedly arranged on the connecting vertical plate 207. A mounting bearing 405 is fixedly arranged on the fixed seat 401. A rotating column 402 is rotatably arranged inside the mounting bearing 405. A lower bevel gear 406 is fixedly disposed at the end of the rotating column 402 , and the lower bevel gear 406 is meshed with the upper bevel gear 403 . A fixed bearing 407 is disposed outside the vertical rod 400 , and the fixed bearing 407 is fixed on the fixed seat 401 .
[0028] The present invention has a designed rotating part. When the diameter size of the stabilizer is adjusted according to the slightly larger or smaller diameter size of the casing body 100, the vertical rod 400 is driven to rotate by rotating the rotating column 402, thereby driving the outer rotating ring 200 located outside the large bearing 203 to rotate, and then indirectly driving multiple movable arc plates 206 to move synchronously. There is no need for personnel to rotate the outer rotating ring 200 separately to move the movable arc plates 206, which facilitates operation.
[0029] During use, when the outer rotating ring 200 is rotated to move the movable arc plate 206, first hold the rotating column 402 and rotate it. Through the meshing action between the lower bevel gear 406 and the upper bevel gear 403, the vertical rod 400 can be driven to rotate, and the vertical rod 400 drives the fixed ring 404 to rotate, which can drive the outer rotating ring 200 to rotate, thereby indirectly driving the movable arc plate 206 to reciprocate. By rotating the rotating column 402, the multiple movable arc plates 206 located on the top and bottom stabilizers of the casing body 100 can be synchronously driven to move, so that the stabilizer can be installed on the casing body 100 or disassembled from the casing body 100, which is also convenient for adjustment according to different casing bodies 100.
[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical method of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical method of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical method of the present invention.
