DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] The exponential curve cylindrical milling shoe of the present invention has a structure as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a main body 1 extending axially in the up-down direction, the main body 1 has a cylindrical structure and a gourd body structure, the radial dimension of the gourd body part is not larger than the radial dimension of the cylindrical part, the gourd body part includes at least two gourd bellies, and the maximum radial dimension of each gourd belly gradually decreases from top to bottom, the gourd mouth faces outward, and a fluid channel with an inner diameter decreasing from top to bottom is provided inside the main body 1, a plurality of liquid return grooves 10 are opened axially on the side wall of the main body 1, and a spray hole 9 connected to the fluid channel is opened in the liquid return groove 10, and the positions of the spray holes 9 in each liquid return groove 10 are different, and a detachable drill rod is threadedly connected to one end of the cylindrical part of the main body 1 away from the gourd body.
[0022] The outer circumference of the cylindrical part is paved with a hard alloy particle layer to form a cylindrical milling layer 2, and the surface of the cylindrical milling layer 2 forms a cylindrical milling surface 3. The gourd body is paved with an exponential curve milling layer 8, and the exponential curve milling layer 8 includes exponential curve milling segments arranged in sequence along the axial direction on the outer circumference of each gourd belly, each exponential curve milling segment is composed of hard alloy particle materials, and each exponential curve milling segment has an exponential curve milling surface, and any two adjacent exponential curve milling surfaces are smoothly transitioned in the form of arcs. After the multi-level exponential curve milling surface is processed by CNC, the surface transition section smoothly transitions under the condition of forming the lower-level surface processing.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, two carbide blade blocks are laid in the transition section between the cylindrical milling layer 2 and the exponential curve grinding and milling layer 8 as finishing milling cutters 4, the laying surfaces of the bottom of the two carbide blade blocks are not in the same horizontal plane and the transition inclination angle between the two laying surfaces is 5°~10°, the top edge of the left carbide blade block is flush with one end of the cylindrical milling layer 2, the right side of the edge of the carbide blade block laid at the transition inclination angle is flush with the left end of the exponential curve grinding and milling layer 8, and the left outer edge is basically flush with the left edge of the carbide blade block.
[0024] The cylindrical milling layer 2, the outer edge of the finishing milling cutter 4, and the exponential milling layer 8 are all smoothly transitioned in the form of arcs to form a smooth transition milling surface. After the first layer of the exponential milling surface is cut and milled, the subsequent exponential milling surface mills and expands the repair position of the first layer of the exponential milling surface, and the next layer of the exponential milling surface expands and trims the position milled by the former again. This process is repeated until the last layer of the exponential milling surface is milled. Then, the milling is sequentially transitioned to the finishing milling cutter 4, and the transition forms continuous trimming and milling, forming a continuous micro-arc milling capability, while reducing the milling resistance, ensuring that the milling surface maintains good continuity. The casing damage and casing change well channel are repaired by the combined milling of the exponential milling layer 8, the finishing milling cutter 4, and the cylindrical milling layer 2.
[0025] The working principle of the index curve cylindrical milling shoe of the present invention is as follows: during the overhaul of oil and gas wells, the working pipe string is connected with the main body thread, and is lowered into the well to the sleeve change casing section for milling. The hard alloy surface welded on the index curve section surface selected during processing cuts the inner wall of the sleeve change at the curve change rate, which is a gradual micro-arc cutting according to the index curve and is progressive in sequence. A finishing milling cutter 4 is set at the transition section between the index curve milling surface and the cylindrical milling surface 3, which is a finishing cutter to form a target size after the initial shaping is complete. In further milling, the cylindrical The milling surface 3 is repaired and expanded by dressing. An exponential curve milling surface, a dressing milling cutter and a cylindrical milling surface are used to combine the exponential curve arc surface and the axial exponential curve arc cutting edge. It has the combined functions of exponential curve arc surface grinding and axial exponential curve arc cutting edge cutting. The milling contact angle can change with the milling surface exponential curve, gradually contact the milling casing wall, and greatly reduce the cutting torque. Since the exponential curve arc surface in contact with the pipe wall can continuously form a cutting edge surface, the cutting and dressing efficiency is improved.
[0026] The working process of the exponential curve cylindrical milling shoe of the present invention is as follows: the main body 1 is connected to the drill pipe thread, the exponential curve cylindrical milling shoe is lowered into the well to reach above the casing change section, and the casing change section is pressurized and milled. The circulating fluid is ejected from the side wing injection hole 9 and carries the milling debris back to the ground from the annulus. First, the first exponential curve milling surface 7 contacts the casing wall and starts to mill the sudden change pipe wall. Since the outer diameter of the end of the exponential curve milling surface 7 is much smaller than the inner diameter of the casing and is a curved surface, it plays a stabilizing and guiding role during milling. The milling is milled to the maximum outer diameter of the milling surface. When the outer diameter of the second exponential curve type milling surface 6 is the maximum, after the transition, the casing wall contacts the second exponential curve type milling surface 6 and continues to cut and mill. When the second exponential curve type milling surface 6 is milled to the maximum outer diameter, the casing wall transitions again and contacts the third exponential curve type milling surface 5. When the third exponential curve type milling surface 5 is the maximum outer diameter, the dressing milling cutter 4 takes over to contact the casing wall and starts milling to the target size. The cylindrical milling surface 3 is further milled and trimmed to establish a channel for continuously repeating the above-mentioned cutting and milling process until the diameter expansion repair of the sleeve change casing is completed.
[0027] When repairing the sleeve during overhaul operations, the exponential curve cylindrical milling shoe is lowered into the well in the above-mentioned connection form. On the basis of the exponential curve milling surface successively trimming the sleeve inner wall, the trimming milling cutter 4 quickly completes the target repair size, and then the cylindrical milling surface 3 is further ground and rounded to achieve stable guided grinding and rapid sleeve repair effects.
