[0002] Liner hangers are commonly used downhole tools in oil exploration and development. They can be divided into three types according to the different hanging methods: mechanical, hydraulic and hydraulic-mechanical double-acting. Among them, hydraulic liner hangers are the most widely used. Hydraulic liner hangers start the liner hanger cylinder by holding pressure in the tube, and the cylinder pushes the slip mechanism to achieve hanging.

[0003] The existing hydraulic liner hanger requires a large design space, resulting in a large outer diameter of the tool, making the tool unsuitable for some small clearance wells with insufficient design space. In addition, the assembly is not quick, convenient, tight and firm enough. To address the above problems, the existing equipment needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a liner hanger to solve the problems proposed in the above background technology, that is, the existing hydraulic liner hanger requires a large design space, resulting in a large outer diameter of the tool, making the tool unsuitable for some small clearance wells with insufficient design space, and the assembly is not fast, convenient, tight and firm enough.

[0006] Preferably, the slip mechanism includes a slip body, and the bottom of the slip body is snap-connected to the clamping seat, and an external thread is fixed on the outer side of the slip body.

[0007] Preferably, the two sides of the slip body are symmetrically provided with card slots, and the outer sides of the card slots are fixed with first sealing sheets, and the bottoms of the card slots are provided with beveled grooves.

[0008] Preferably, an air pressure channel is opened in the kava body, and a second sealing sheet is fixed on the top of the air pressure channel.

[0009] Preferably, the cone sleeve mechanism includes a cone sleeve body, and the cone sleeve body is fixed to the bottom of the connecting sleeve. An opening is provided at the bottom of the cone sleeve body, and the openings are evenly distributed circumferentially on the cone sleeve body. The openings are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the slip bodies.

[0010] Preferably, a first oil groove is symmetrically provided on the two inner walls of the opening, and an extrusion mechanism is provided in the first oil groove, the extrusion mechanism includes a second piston, and the second piston is slidably connected in the first oil groove, an extrusion block is fixed on the outer side of the second piston, and the extrusion block is fixed in the first oil groove by copper shear nails.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The liner hanger can achieve the purposes of firm connection, easy installation and avoiding insufficient design space for small-gap wells. When the bottom of the device is sealed and hydraulic oil is passed into the device, the hydraulic oil enters the oil cylinder, the card seat moves upward together with the first piston, the slip body is stuck in the opening, the extrusion block is squeezed by the slip body, the copper shear nails are automatically disconnected, the movement of the extrusion block drives the movement of the second piston, and the third piston moves under the action of oil pressure. The locking block is finally stuck in the card groove, and the bevel teeth are stuck in the bevel groove, so as to achieve the effect of tight and firm connection. The installation process of the device is simple and fast. The operator can complete the installation in a relatively short time, which improves the working efficiency. The built-in slip liner hanger can avoid the problem of insufficient design space for small-gap wells and can also provide sufficient annular flow area and internal diameter.

[0015] 2. The liner hanger has a strong clamping force, high stability and prevents accidental falling off. The embedded slips can provide reliable suspension support. Even in high pressure, high temperature and complex downhole environments, it can ensure that the tubing will not slip, ensuring the safety of oil and gas well operations. It can effectively prevent the tubing from falling off due to unexpected situations during operation, reducing the risk of accidents. The embedded design of the slips and the cone sleeve body makes the slips less likely to be displaced or loosened by external interference during operation. This stability helps to maintain the accurate position of the tubing and provides a solid foundation for subsequent operations.

[0016] 3. The liner hanger has strong corrosion resistance and high reliability in emergency situations. The slips are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials and can be used for a long time in harsh downhole environments without corrosion damage, extending the service life of the hanger. In emergency situations, such as leaks or other sudden situations at the wellhead, the slips of the embedded slip hanger can quickly take effect to ensure safe control of the wellhead.
