Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of casing centralizers, in particular to a resettable casing centralizer for cementing. Background Art

[0002] In the process of oilfield exploration and development, cementing is an important part of the separation grouting work. After drilling is completed, casing is lowered into the well. Cement needs to be injected into the annular space between the casing and the formation to seal the loose formation and isolate the oil, gas and water layers to prevent mutual communication, ensure the normal production of oil and gas wells, and the normal injection of water wells to meet the needs of oil and gas development. At the same time, once the sealing of the production layer casing is unqualified, the cementing quality is directly related to the benefits of oilfield exploration and development. Therefore, ensuring and improving the cementing quality is a key link in the drilling and completion process. The centralizer is to improve the centering of the casing in the well, make the annular space around the casing uniform, and make the cement slurry return speed symmetrical all around, so as to improve the cementing displacement efficiency and ensure the cementing quality. At the same time, the use of the centralizer during casing lowering can also reduce the sticking of the casing during the casing lowering process.

[0003] At present, there are more and more types of casing centralizers, among which elastic centralizers are easy to run into complex or small wellbores due to their deformable characteristics, relatively simple processing and manufacturing, and good centralizing effect when the supporting force is sufficient.

[0004] However, when in use, the elastic stabilizer generates a large friction force when in contact with the well wall when pressed down, resulting in long-term friction, which greatly reduces the service life of the elastic stabilizer. When it needs to be replaced, it needs to be taken out, which greatly reduces the overall work efficiency. Therefore, it cannot meet the existing use requirements. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a resettable casing centralizer for cementing, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that when pressed down, the elastic centralizer will generate a large friction force when in contact with the well wall, thereby causing long-term friction, which greatly reduces the service life of the elastic centralizer, and when it needs to be replaced, it needs to be taken out, which greatly reduces the overall work efficiency, and therefore cannot meet the existing technical problems of use requirements.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a resettable casing centralizer for cementing, comprising an outer casing, characterized in that: connecting rings are arranged at both ends of the outer casing, extrusion rebound components are evenly arranged between two groups of the connecting rings, a mounting ring is arranged on the outer side of the outer casing, and multiple groups of support rebound components matching the extrusion rebound components are evenly arranged on the outer side of the mounting ring, the extrusion rebound components include a first guide column, a first spring, a movable seat, a memory plate, a wear-resistant guide belt and a fifth guide wheel, multiple groups of first guide columns are evenly arranged on one end of the connecting ring, a first spring is arranged on the outer side of the first guide column, The outer sides are all slidably connected with a movable seat that cooperates with the first spring, and one end of the movable seat is provided with a fifth guide wheel, and a memory plate is connected between the two groups of movable seats through the fifth guide wheel, and a wear-resistant guide belt that cooperates with the extrusion rebound component is provided on the outer side of the memory plate.

When the wear-resistant guide belt contacts the well wall, it does not directly rub against it, but dynamically rubs against it, thereby improving the wear resistance of the equipment, thereby greatly extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, during the extrusion process, the memory plate, the elastic plate and the interaction between the first spring and the second spring greatly improve the extrusion resilience. At the same time, the wear-resistant guide belt always remains taut during the extrusion process and does not relax, thereby further improving the wear resistance of the equipment.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that an inner tube is arranged inside the outer sleeve, and a bearing is arranged between the outer sleeve and the inner tube.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the function of the bearing, the outer sleeve and the inner tube can rotate during operation to facilitate subsequent work.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the upper and lower ends of the outer sleeve are respectively connected with a plurality of groups of evenly distributed first limiting guide plates and second limiting guide plates through connecting rings.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the functions of the first limiting guide plate and the second limiting guide plate, it is convenient to ensure that the memory plate and the wear-resistant guide belt work normally and avoid being crushed.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the memory plate is internally rotatably connected with a fourth guide wheel that cooperates with the wear-resistant guide belt, the outer side of the memory plate is symmetrically provided with mounting plates, second guide wheels that cooperate with the wear-resistant guide belt are symmetrically provided between the mounting plates, and the interior of the first mounting seat is provided with a third guide wheel that cooperates with the wear-resistant guide belt.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the fourth guide wheel, the second guide wheel and the third guide wheel are utilized to facilitate the sliding of the wear-resistant guide belt, thereby completing the work.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a second mounting seat is provided at the end of each of the elastic plates, and a first guide wheel matched with the wear-resistant guide belt is provided inside the second mounting seat.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the function of the first guide wheel, the wear-resistant guide belt can be easily slid to complete the work.

[0016] To sum up, the present invention mainly has the following beneficial effects: when in use, the present invention directly utilizes the functions of the extrusion rebound component and the support rebound component, specifically utilizes the functions of the second guide wheel, the third guide wheel, the fourth guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel to guide the wear-resistant guide belt to slide in a circular motion. Therefore, when in contact with the well wall, the wear-resistant guide belt does not directly rub against it, but dynamically rubs against it, thereby improving the wear resistance of the equipment, thereby greatly extending the service life of the equipment, and in the process of extrusion, the memory plate, the elastic plate and the interaction between the first spring and the second spring greatly improve the extrusion rebound elasticity, and at the same time, the wear-resistant guide belt always remains taut during the extrusion process and does not relax, thereby further improving the wear resistance of the equipment.
