The inner side wall of the central tube 1 is threadedly connected with a release ring 150, and the release ring 150 is located above the switch sleeve 2. At the same time, the inner side wall of the release ring 150 is integrally connected with a plurality of support blocks 151, the plurality of support blocks 151 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the release ring 150, and each support block 151 is respectively provided with an upper pressing slope 152 at the upper end and a lower pressing slope 153 at the lower end.

[0100] In one embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the upper pressing slope 152, the upper control slope 142, the lower control slope 145, the upper guide slope 147 and the extrusion slope 149 have the same inclination direction, and the lower pressing slope 153, the upper control slope 144, the lower guide slope 146 and the lower control slope 143 have the same inclination direction.

[0101] In one embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the top of each switch sleeve 2 is integrally connected with an upper claw 15, and the bottom end is integrally connected with a lower claw 16, the bottom end of each release ring 150 is integrally connected with a limiting claw 17, and a limiting clamp ring 18 is arranged under each switch sleeve 2, and the limiting clamp ring 18 is integrally connected with the center tube 1.

[0102] When the switch sleeve 2 moves downward and reaches the open position, the lower claw 16 can form an elastic snap fit with the limit snap ring 18, and the locking force between the lower claw 16 and the limit snap ring 18 is greater than the friction between the opening short section 3 and the switch sleeve 2 to prevent the switch sleeve 2 from moving upward when the service pipe string 400 is lifted.

[0103] When the switch sleeve 2 moves upward and reaches the closed position, the upper claw 15 can form an elastic engagement with the limit claw 17, and the locking force between the upper claw 15 and the limit claw 17 is greater than the friction between the closing short section 4 and the switch sleeve 2 to prevent the switch sleeve 2 from moving downward when the service pipe string 400 is lowered.

[0104] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, when the opening tool 100 moves downward and makes the opening short section 3 reach the position of the switch sleeve 2 at the same layer, the control key 11 moves toward the control cylinder 7 under the action of the lower control slope 145 and the upper pressing slope 152, that is, the control key 11 is retracted. As the opening tool 100 continues to move downward, the control key 11 remains retracted under the action of the lower control slope 145 and the upper control slope 142. When the opening key 6 is aligned with the opening slot 12, the control key 11 is ejected under the action of the control spring 141, so that the opening key 6 and the opening slot 12 form a snap fit. When the opening tool 100 moves downward, the switch sleeve 2 can move downward synchronously and open. At this time, the lower claw 16 and the limit snap ring 18 form a snap fit. As the opening tool 100 continues to move downward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower control slope 145 and the extrusion slope 149, so that the opening slot 12 is separated from the opening key 6. Therefore, as the opening tool 100 continues to move downward, the opening groove 12 can form a snap fit with the opening key 6 on the switch sleeve 2 of the next layer, that is, the opening short section 3 can control the switch sleeve 2 located at the layer below it to open. At the same time, when the opening short section 3 at the lower layer passes through the switch sleeve 2 at the higher layer, the width of the opening groove 12 on the opening short section 3 is smaller than the width of the opening key 6 on the switch sleeve 2 at the higher layer, that is, the opening key 6 cannot form a snap fit with the opening groove 12, so that the opening short section 3 at the lower layer can smoothly pass through the switch sleeve 2 at the higher layer.

[0105] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, during the upward movement of the opening tool 100, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the upper control slope 144 and the lower control slope 143, and when the opening key 6 is aligned with the opening slot 12, the opening key 6 is inserted into the corresponding opening slot 12. As the opening tool 100 continues to move upward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower guide slope 146 and the lower control slope 143, so that the opening key 6 is separated from the opening slot 12. As the opening tool 100 continues to move upward, the control key 11 pops open and the closing key 5 is inserted into the opening slot 12, and then the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower guide slope 146 and the closing key 5, so that the closing key 5 is separated from the opening slot 12. As the opening tool 100 continues to move upward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the upper control slope 144 and the lower pressing slope 153, so that when the opening tool 100 moves upward, it will not affect the switch sleeve 2.

[0106] like Fig.10 , Fig.11As shown, during the downward movement of the closing tool 200, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower control slope 145 and the upper pressing slope 152, the lower control slope 145 and the upper control slope 142, until the closing slot 13 is aligned with the closing key 5, and the control key 11 pops open to form a snap fit between the closing key 5 and the closing slot 13. As the closing tool 200 continues to move downward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the upper guide slope 147 and the upper control slope 142, and the closing key 5 is separated from the closing slot 13. After the closing tool 200 continues to move downward, the closing key 5 is snapped into the closing slot 13, and then the control key 11 is retracted again under the action of the upper guide slope 147 and the closing key 5, so that the closing key 5 is separated from the closing slot 13. As the closing tool 200 continues to move downward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower control slope 145 and the extrusion slope 149, so that the closing joint can smoothly pass through the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding level. Therefore, when the closing tool 200 moves downward, it will not affect the switch sleeve 2.

[0107] like Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, when the closing tool 200 moves upward and makes the closing short section 4 reach the position of the switch sleeve 2 at the same layer, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the upper control slope 144 and the lower control slope 143. When the closing key 5 is aligned with the opening groove 12, the control key 11 pops up and the closing key 5 is stuck in the opening groove 12. As the closing tool 200 continues to move upward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower control slope 143. When the closing key 5 is aligned with the closing groove 13, the control key 11 pops up and the closing key 5 is stuck in the closing groove 13. Subsequently, the control key 11 controls the switch sleeve 2 to move upward so that the switch sleeve 2 is closed. At this time, the upper clamping claw 15 and the limit clamping claw 17 form an elastic clamping fit. As the closing tool 200 continues to move upward, the control key 11 is retracted under the action of the lower pressing slope 153 and the upper control slope 144 so that the closing key 5 is separated from the closing groove 13. Therefore, as the closing tool 200 continues to move upward, the closing sub 4 at the lower layer can smoothly pass through the switch sleeve 2 at the higher layer due to the size difference between the closing key 5 and the closing groove 13. Of course, after the closing sub 4 controls the switch sleeve 2 at the same layer to close, the closing tool 200 can be further lowered, and the closing groove 13 on the closing sub 4 is aligned with the closing key 5 on the switch sleeve 2 at the next layer. At this time, the pipe column can be lifted to close the switch sleeve 2 at the next layer.

[0108] In one embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a limit ring 19 is threadedly sleeved on the lower end of each upper joint 8, and the upper end of each lower joint 9 is also integrally formed with the limit ring 19, and an annular sliding gap 20 exists between each limit ring 19 and the control cylinder 7, and both ends of each control plate 10 are respectively located in the corresponding sliding gap 20 and can slide radially along the control cylinder 7 in the corresponding sliding gap 20.

[0109] In one embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, each control plate 10 is provided with a group of guide grooves 21 on the side facing the control cylinder 7, and each group of guide grooves 21 is provided with two. One end of each control spring 141 is respectively inserted into the corresponding guide groove 21, and the other end is respectively connected to the control cylinder 7 to play a guiding role for the control spring 141 and ensure that the control spring 141 can be elastically deformed smoothly.

[0110] As can be seen from the above, the oil well pipe string structure can realize the opening and closing control of multiple switch sleeves 2 in one trip to drill, effectively reducing the number of times to drill, which can not only reduce the burden on the staff, but also improve the time efficiency of the operation. At the same time, each layer of the opening short section 3 / closing short section 4 can control the opening / closing of the switch sleeve 2 of the corresponding layer and all layers below it, so that the staff can have more choices and improve the adaptability of use.

[0111] Example 2

[0112] like Figure 12-Figure 21 The embodiment 2 of the present invention is shown, which discloses a method for using an oil well pipe string structure, including the following steps:

[0113] S1, according to the layer position of the switch sleeve 2, select an appropriate opening short section 3 or closing short section 4, and connect adjacent opening short sections 3 or closing short sections 4 in series through a matching long pipe 300 to form an opening tool 100 or a closing tool 200;

[0114] S2, connecting the opening tool 100 or the closing tool 200 to the service string 400, and lowering the opening tool 100 or the closing tool 200 into the central pipe 1 through the service string 400;

[0115] S3, by lifting and lowering the service pipe string 400, the opening tool 100 is used to control the opening of the switch sliding sleeve 2, or the closing tool 200 is used to control the closing of the switch sliding sleeve 2.

[0116] like Fig.12 , Fig.14As shown, if it is necessary to control the synchronous opening of the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers, select the opening short sections 3 that are compatible with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers respectively, and connect the adjacent opening short sections 3 in series through the matching length pipes 300 to form an opening tool 100, and ensure that after the opening tool 100 is lowered into the central pipe 1, the multiple opening short sections 3 are aligned one by one with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers respectively, connect the opening tool 100 with the service pipe string 400, and carry the opening tool 100 into the central pipe 1 through the service pipe string 400. At this time, the multiple opening grooves 12 are respectively snap-fitted with the opening keys 6 of the corresponding layers, and the service pipe string 400 is lowered to make the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers move downward synchronously, so that the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers are opened synchronously.

[0117] like Fig.15 As shown, if it is necessary to control the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers to be opened in sequence, only the opening short section 3 that is compatible with the switch sleeve 2 located at the highest layer among the switch sleeves 2 to be opened is selected, and the opening short section 3 is connected to the matching length pipe 300 to form an opening tool 100, and then the opening tool 100 is connected to the service string 400, and the opening tool 100 is carried by the service string 400 into the central pipe 1. During the process of lowering the service string 400, the opening groove 12 is sequentially engaged with the opening key 6 of the corresponding layer from top to bottom and then separated, so that the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers move downward in sequence, so that the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers are opened in sequence.

[0118] like Fig.13 , Fig.16 As shown, if it is necessary to control the synchronous closing of the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers, the closing short sections 4 adapted to the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers are selected respectively, and the adjacent closing short sections 4 are connected in series through the matching length pipe 300 to form a closing tool 200, and it is ensured that after the closing tool 200 is lowered into the central pipe 1, the multiple closing short sections 4 are aligned one by one with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers, and the closing tool 200 is connected to the service pipe string 400, and the closing tool 200 is carried by the service pipe string 400 and lowered into the central pipe 1. At this time, the multiple closing grooves 13 are respectively snap-fitted with the closing keys 5 of the corresponding layers, and the service pipe string 400 is lifted to make the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers move upward synchronously, so that the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers are synchronously closed.

[0119] like Fig.17As shown, if it is necessary to control the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers to be closed in sequence, only the closing short section 4 that is compatible with the switch sleeve 2 located at the highest layer among the switch sleeves 2 to be closed is selected, and the closing short section 4 is connected to the matching length pipe 300 to form a closing tool 200, and then the closing tool 200 is connected to the service string 400, and the closing tool 200 is carried by the service string 400 into the central pipe 1. In the process of lifting the service string 400, the closing groove 13 is sequentially engaged with the closing key 5 of the corresponding layer from bottom to top and then separated, so that the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers move upward in sequence, so that the switch sleeves 2 of all layers or some layers are closed in sequence.

[0120] like Fig.18 , Fig.19 As shown, if the switch sleeves 2 of some layers need to be controlled to open in sequence:

[0121] Select opening short sections 3 that are compatible with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers respectively, and connect adjacent opening short sections 3 in series through the matching length pipes 300 to form an opening tool 100, connect the opening tool 100 to the service string 400, and carry the opening tool 100 into the central pipe 1 through the service string 400.

[0122] The length of the extension pipe 300 is set so that there is a distance difference between two adjacent opening short sections 3, and multiple opening short sections 3 can be aligned with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers in sequence from high layers to low layers, or multiple opening short sections 3 can be aligned with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers in sequence from low layers to high layers.

[0123] When controlling multiple switch sleeves 2 to be opened sequentially from a high level to a low level, firstly control the opening short section 3 at the high level to cooperate with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding level, lower the service string 400 to make the switch sleeve 2 at the high level move downward and open, continue to lower the service string 400, the opening short section 3 at the next high level cooperates with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding level, lower the service string 400 to make the switch sleeve 2 at the next high level move downward and open, repeat this process, so that the switch sleeves 2 at multiple levels are opened sequentially from a high level to a low level;

[0124] When controlling multiple switch sleeves 2 to be opened in sequence from a low layer to a high layer, first control the opening short section 3 at the low layer to cooperate with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding layer, lower the service string 400 to make the switch sleeve 2 at the low layer move downward and open, continue to lower the service string 400, and the opening short section 3 at the second lowest layer to cooperate with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding layer, lower the service string 400 to make the switch sleeve 2 at the second lowest layer move downward and open, and repeat this process, so that the switch sleeves 2 at multiple layers are opened in sequence from a low layer to a high layer.

[0125] Specific examples are as follows:

[0126] If the central pipe 1 has nine layers of switch sleeves 2, and the third, fifth and eighth layers of switch sleeves 2 need to be opened, select opening short sections 3 that are compatible with the third, fifth and eighth layers of switch sleeves 2, and connect adjacent opening short sections 3 through matching length pipes 300 to form an opening tool 100, and then connect the opening tool 100 to the service pipe string 400.

[0127] like Fig.18 As shown, if it is necessary to control the three switch sleeves 2 to be opened in sequence from the high position to the low position:

[0128] The service string 400 is lowered to align the third-layer opening short section 3 with the third-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the fifth-layer and eighth-layer opening short sections 3 are respectively located above the switch sleeves 2 at the corresponding layers. Subsequently, the service string 400 is lowered to open the third-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the fifth-layer and eighth-layer opening short sections 3 have not reached the switch sleeves 2 at the corresponding layers. The service string 400 is continued to be lowered until the fifth-layer opening short section 3 cooperates with the fifth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the eighth-layer opening short section 3 has not reached the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2. This is repeated so that the three switch sleeves 2 are opened in sequence from the high position to the low position. It should be noted that when the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2 is opened, the third-layer opening short section 3 has not reached the fourth-layer switch sleeve 2, and the fifth-layer opening short section 3 has not reached the sixth-layer switch sleeve 2.

[0129] like Fig.19 As shown, if it is necessary to control the three switch sleeves 2 to be opened in sequence from the low position to the high position:

[0130] The service string 400 is lowered to align the eighth-layer opening short section 3 with the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the third-layer and fifth-layer opening short sections 3 are respectively located above the corresponding layer switch sleeves 2. Subsequently, the service string 400 is lowered to open the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2. The service string 400 is lowered and the fifth-layer opening short section 3 is matched with the fifth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the third-layer opening short section 3 does not reach the third-layer switch sleeve 2. The service string 400 is lowered again to open the fifth-layer switch sleeve 2. This is repeated so that the three switch sleeves 2 are opened in sequence from the lower layer to the higher layer. It should be noted that when the third-layer switch sleeve 2 is opened, the fifth-layer opening short section 3 does not reach the sixth-layer switch sleeve 2, and the eighth-layer opening short section 3 does not reach the ninth-layer switch sleeve 2.

[0131] like Fig. 20 , Fig.21 As shown, if the switch sleeves 2 of some layers need to be controlled to be closed in sequence:

[0132] The closing pup joints 4 matching the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers are selected respectively, and the adjacent closing pup joints 4 are connected in series through the matching length pipes 300 to form a closing tool 200, the closing tool 200 is connected to the service string 400, and the closing tool 200 is carried by the service string 400 and lowered into the central pipe 1.

[0133] The length of the extension pipe 300 is set so that there is a distance difference between two adjacent closing pup joints 4, and multiple closing pup joints 4 can be aligned with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers in sequence from high layers to low layers, or multiple closing pup joints 4 can be aligned with the switch sleeves 2 of the corresponding layers in sequence from low layers to high layers.

[0134] When controlling multiple switch sleeves 2 to be closed sequentially from a high level to a low level, first control the closing nipple 4 at the high level to cooperate with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding level, lift the service string 400 to close the switch sleeve 2 at the high level, then lift the string to move the switch sleeve 2 at the high level upward and close it, continue to lift the string, make the closing nipple 4 at the next high level cooperate with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding level, then lift the service string 400 to move the switch sleeve 2 at the next high level upward and close it, repeat this process, so that the switch sleeves 2 at multiple levels are closed sequentially from a high level to a low level;

[0135] When controlling multiple switch sleeves 2 to be closed in sequence from a low layer to a high layer, first control the closing short section 4 at the low layer to cooperate with the switch sleeve 2 at the corresponding layer, lift the pipe string to make the switch sleeve 2 at the low layer move upward and close, continue to lift the service pipe string 400, and make the switch sleeve 2 at the second lowest layer cooperate, then lift the service pipe string 400 to make the switch sleeve 2 at the second lowest layer move upward and close, and repeat this process, so that the switch sleeves 2 at multiple layers are closed in sequence from a low layer to a high layer.

[0136] Specific examples are as follows:

[0137] If the central pipe 1 has nine layers of switch sleeves 2, and the third, fifth and eighth layers of switch sleeves 2 need to be closed, select closing pup joints 4 that are compatible with the third, fifth and eighth layers of switch sleeves 2, and connect adjacent closing pup joints 4 through matching length pipes 300 to form a closing tool 200, and then connect the closing tool 200 to the service pipe string 400.

[0138] like Fig. 20 As shown, if it is necessary to control the three switch sleeves 2 to be opened in sequence from the high position to the low position:

[0139] The service string 400 is lowered to align the third-layer closing pup joint 4 with the third-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the fifth-layer and eighth-layer closing pup joints 4 are respectively located below the switch sleeves 2 at the corresponding layers. Subsequently, the service string 400 is lifted to close the third-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the fifth-layer and eighth-layer closing pup joints 4 have not reached the switch sleeves 2 at the corresponding layers. The service string 400 is continuously lifted until the fifth-layer closing pup joint 4 cooperates with the fifth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the eighth-layer closing pup joint 4 has not reached the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2. This is repeated to close the three switch sleeves 2 from the high layer to the low layer. It should be noted that when the service string 400 is lowered and the third-layer closing pup joint 4 is aligned with the third-layer switch sleeve 2, the fifth-layer closing pup joint 4 has not reached the sixth-layer switch sleeve 2, and the eighth-layer closing pup joint 4 has not reached the ninth-layer switch sleeve 2.

[0140] like Fig.21 As shown, if it is necessary to control the three switch sleeves 2 to be closed in sequence from the low position to the high position:

[0141] The service string 400 is lowered to align the eighth-layer closing pup joint 4 with the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the third-layer and fifth-layer closing pup joints 4 are respectively located below the switch sleeves 2 at the corresponding layers. Subsequently, the service string 400 is lifted to close the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the third-layer and fifth-layer closing pup joints 4 have not reached the switch sleeves 2 at the corresponding layers. The service string 400 is further lifted to match the fifth-layer closing pup joint 4 with the fifth-layer switch sleeve 2. At this time, the third-layer closing pup joint 4 has not reached the third-layer switch sleeve 2. The service string 400 is lifted again to close the fifth-layer switch sleeve 2. This is repeated to close the three switch sleeves 2 from the lower layer to the higher layer. It should be noted that when the service string 400 is lowered to align the eighth-layer closing pup joint 4 with the eighth-layer switch sleeve 2, the third-layer closing pup joint 4 has not reached the fourth-layer switch sleeve 2, and the fifth-layer closing pup joint 4 has not reached the sixth-layer switch sleeve 2.
