DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] The present invention provides a pressure-adjustable small-hole check valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, the valve body 2 includes a first cavity 8 and a second cavity 9. The first cavity 8 is located at the liquid inlet end, and the second cavity 9 is located at the liquid outlet end. The longitudinal section of the first cavity 8 is trapezoidal, and the larger opening of the first cavity 8 is located at the liquid inlet. The first cavity 8 is conically matched with a pressure cap 1. The pressure cap 1 is provided with a liquid flow channel 7 along its axis, and the liquid flow channel 7 is connected with the first cavity 8.

[0020] The second cavity 9 has a base 6 in it. The base 6 is a hollow cylinder. The base 6 is threadedly connected to the valve body 2 . A compression rod 3 is sleeved inside the base 6 . An elastic ring 5 is provided between the base 6 and the compression rod 3 .

[0021] The outer wall of the valve body 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 10 , and the outer wall of the base 6 is provided with a plurality of blind holes 11 corresponding to the positions of the through holes 10 . A top screw 12 is provided in each pair of the through holes 10 and the blind holes 11 .

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the compression rod 3 is a stepped cylinder, and a shoulder is provided at one end of the compression rod 3 close to the first cavity 8. A sealing gasket 4 is provided between the end surface of the shoulder close to the first cavity 8 and the valve body 2 to form an end surface seal.

[0023] The base 6 and the third step of the compression rod 3 are transitionally matched, and the base 6 and the fourth step of the compression rod 3 are clearance matched.

[0024] The outer wall of the liquid inlet end of the valve body 2 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves which are evenly distributed. When the pressure cap 1 is pressed into the valve body 2, the valve body 2 undergoes plastic deformation, and the outer ridges and grooves "bite into" the inner wall of the mounting hole to form a plurality of sealing layers, thereby achieving a reliable sealing effect.

[0025] The elastic ring 5 is fixed on the base 6 corresponding to the fourth step 16 , and the elastic ring 5 can be replaced according to the pressure, thereby achieving adjustable pressure.

[0026] The present invention is a pressure-adjustable small-hole check valve, and its working principle is as follows:

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable small-hole check valve comprises a pressing cap 1, a valve body 2, a compression rod 3, a sealing gasket 4, an elastic ring 5, a base 6, a liquid flow channel 7, a first cavity 8, a second cavity 9, a through hole 10, a blind hole 11, and a top screw 12, wherein the joints between the pressing cap 1 and the valve body 2 are of conical design, and the outer edge of the valve body 2 has a "ridge" and a "groove" structure. During installation, since the pressing cap 1 and the valve body 2 are conically matched, in the process of pressing the pressing cap 1 into the valve body 2, the valve body 2 undergoes plastic deformation, and the outer ridges and grooves "bite into" the inner wall of the installation hole to form multiple sealing layers, thereby achieving a reliable sealing effect.

[0028] A liquid flow channel 7 is designed on the pressure cap 1. When the liquid enters the valve body 2 from the pressure cap 1, due to the increase in hydraulic pressure, when the preset value of the elastic ring 5 is reached, the compression rod 3 is pushed open, and the liquid enters the expansion packer rubber cylinder, and the expansion packer is gradually set. After the expansion packer is set, the wellbore pump is stopped, the pressure in the adjustable small hole check valve disappears, and the compression rod 3 is reset under the action of the reset force of the elastic ring 5, the small hole liquid inlet channel is closed, and the sealing gasket 4 seals the compression rod 3 at the end face, thereby realizing the permanent setting of the packer. In the mechanism of the one-way valve, the compression rod 3 and the base 6 are clearance-matched, and the elastic ring 5 is fixed on the base 6. The elastic ring 5 is replaceable, so that the pressure of the liquid entering the liquid flow channel 7 can be adjusted, and the pressure can be adjusted. A sealing gasket 4 is matched between the first step surface 13 of the compression rod 3 and the valve body to form an end face seal to prevent liquid from entering or flowing out from the matching surface, thereby realizing the functional permanent setting.
