Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a downhole work simulation device, in particular to a cuttings bed sand cleaner, and belongs to the technical field of oil drilling. Background Art

[0002] A directional well with a ratio of inclination length to vertical depth greater than 2 and an inclination angle between 60 and 86 degrees is called a high-angle well. When the inclination angle exceeds 35°, the cuttings sink to the lower well wall under their own weight, forming a friction cushion. In the high-angle well section, a considerable part of the drill bit lies at the bottom of the well. The friction caused by the contact between the cushion and the drill bit leads to problems such as abnormal increase in torque, directional support pressure and increased annular pressure loss, which increases the load on ground equipment and downhole risks.

[0003] In response to the problem of wellbore cleaning, a large number of studies on wellbore cleaning tools (commonly called sand cleaners) have been carried out both at home and abroad, and certain results have been achieved. The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN 106639930A discloses a vortex generator, including an upper joint, a lower joint and a turbine. The upper joint includes a drill pipe box buckle, an upper cylinder and an upper boss. The outer surface of the upper cylinder is evenly provided with upper spiral strips. The end face of the upper boss is axially provided with a plurality of upper flow holes. The upper ends of the upper flow holes extend upward and pass through the upper cylinder and are connected with the inner hole of the drill pipe box buckle. The lower joint includes a lower boss, a core shaft, a lower cylinder and a drill pipe male buckle. The outer surface of the lower cylinder is evenly provided with a plurality of lower spiral strips, and the rotation direction of the lower spiral strips is opposite to that of the upper spiral strips. The end face of the lower boss is axially provided with a plurality of lower flow holes, which are connected with the inner hole of the drill pipe male buckle. The upper and lower joints are connected through a central axis, the turbine is sleeved on the central axis, the two ports of the turbine are respectively sleeved on the upper and lower bosses, and the outer surface of the turbine is evenly provided with a plurality of straightening strips. The end face of the turbine is axially provided with a plurality of through holes, and the upper and lower ends of the through holes are respectively connected with the upper and lower flow holes. The fluid flows through the turbine through-hole through the upper through-hole, impacts the turbine, rotates the straightening bar, thereby scraping the rock cuttings, and then flows out from the lower through-hole.

[0004] The vortex generator is only equipped with a first-stage turbine, and only a bundle of spiral grooves is set between the turbine casing and the turbine inner tube.

The upper and lower end faces of the turbine are matched with the upper and lower cylindrical end faces through ball bearings, and it is difficult to obtain precise axial positioning. It cannot be assembled during the actual manufacturing process, and a large amount of leakage will occur at the bearings, further weakening the driving force of the turbine. Summary of the invention

[0019] In the following description of the present invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside" and "outside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not mean that the device must have a specific direction.

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below with reference to specific diagrams.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the cuttings bed sand cleaner of the present invention comprises an upper joint 1, a sand cleaning power mechanism and a lower joint 8. The upper portion of the upper joint 1 is provided with a tapered female thread, which is screwed to the drill rod above; an upper joint water distribution chamber 1a is provided below the tapered female thread. The upper joint water distribution chamber 1a is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which makes the bottom area larger. On the one hand, it is beneficial to reduce the flow velocity at the bottom of the upper joint water distribution chamber 1a and increase the static pressure.

[0023] A solid upper joint cylindrical section 1e is provided below the upper joint water distribution cavity 1a, and an upper joint straightening section with an expanded diameter is provided on the upper outer periphery of the upper joint cylindrical section 1e to facilitate centering the tool; an upper joint outer spiral groove 1c is provided in the upper joint straightening section, and the upper joint outer spiral groove 1c is usually provided with three or four grooves for water flow to pass through and generate vortex flow, thereby increasing the flow rate and sand carrying capacity, and the outer wall of the upper joint straightening section is evenly embedded with tungsten teeth 1d to facilitate scraping and trimming the wellbore.

[0024] A reduced diameter upper joint center axis 1f is provided below the upper joint cylindrical section 1e. The upper joint center axis 1f extends downward along the axis of the sand cleaning power mechanism and serves as a fixed axis of the turbine stator 5. The lower end threaded section of the upper joint center axis 1f is screwed into the inner threaded hole of the lower joint 8, so that the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 8 are connected together.

[0025] The sand cleaning power mechanism includes a multi-stage turbine assembly and a sand cleaning drum 2. A plurality of upper joint flow holes 1b are evenly distributed on the circumference of the bottom wall of the upper joint water distribution chamber 1a, which are connected to the upper part of the space where the turbine assembly is located. Each stage of the turbine assembly includes a turbine stator 5 and a turbine rotor 4 that are matched with each other. The blades of the turbine rotor 4 and the turbine stator 5 have the same shape, but the bending direction is opposite. In the traditional turbine assembly, the outer cylinder and the drill pipe remain relatively stationary, and the central axis rotates. On the contrary, each turbine stator 5 is stacked in sequence and sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper joint central axis 1f, and the upper joint central axis 1f and the drill pipe remain relatively stationary.

[0026] The turbine rotors 4 are stacked in sequence and fixed to the inner wall of the sand cleaning drum 2. The drilling fluid, i.e., water, enters the flow holes 1b of the upper joints from the water distribution cavity 1a of the upper joint, and then enters the space where the turbine assemblies of each stage are located from the flow holes 1b of the upper joints, impacts the blades of the turbine rotor 4, and then, after being turned and diverted by the blades of the turbine stator 5, impacts the blades of the turbine rotor 4 of the next stage. The forces of the turbine rotors 4 act together on the sand cleaning drum 2, driving the sand cleaning drum 2 to rotate.

[0027] A plurality of sand cleaning ridges 2c are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the sand cleaning drum 2. When the sand cleaning drum 2 rotates, the sand cleaning ridges 2c can pick up sand particles, destroy and gradually remove the cuttings bed. Even if the drilling tool does not rotate, the self-rotation of the sand cleaning drum 2 under the action of hydraulic pressure can also play a role in mechanical sand cleaning.

[0028] The upper part of the lower joint 8 is a cylindrical section, the center of which is the lower joint internal screw hole, which is screwed to the lower end threaded section of the upper joint central axis 1f. Below the lower joint internal screw hole is a small diameter light hole for the upper joint tail shaft 1g to pass through. Below the light hole is the lower joint confluence cavity 8b, which is a structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom. A plurality of lower joint flow holes 8a are evenly distributed on the circumference of the upper end surface of the lower joint 8 and are connected to the lower joint confluence cavity 8b.

[0029] The upper joint tail shaft 1g is connected to the bottom of the upper joint center axis 1f, and the upper joint tail shaft 1g passes downward through the center hole of the lower joint 8.

The rotor positioning step 2a is located below the upper joint cylindrical section 1e, and the inner circumferential diameter of the rotor positioning step 2a is larger than the diameter of the circumference of the outer edge of each lower joint flow hole 8a to avoid blocking the water flow.

[0031] The upper end of the sand cleaning drum 2 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the upper joint cylindrical section 1e, and an upper thrust bearing 3 is installed on the inner step of the upper port of the sand cleaning drum 2. The upper cover of the upper thrust bearing 3 abuts against the bottom of the upper bearing adjustment pad 3a, and the upper bearing adjustment pad 3a abuts against the bottom of the lower step of the upper joint straightening section.

[0032] The upper bearing pin 3b axially passes through the upper cover of the upper thrust bearing 3 and the upper bearing adjustment pad 3a to fix the upper cover of the upper thrust bearing 3 with the lower step of the upper joint straightening section. The lower cover of the upper thrust bearing 3 abuts against the root of the inner step of the upper port of the sand cleaning drum 2 and is fixed by multiple lower bearing pins 3c.

[0033] A plurality of drum water holes 2b are evenly arranged on the upper circumference of the sand cleaning drum 2, the inner port of each drum water hole 2b is communicated with the space where the upper thrust bearing 3 is located, and the axis of each drum water hole 2b is located on the interface between the upper cover and the lower cover of the upper thrust bearing 3, so as to facilitate lubrication and cooling of the upper thrust bearing 3 by water flow.

[0034] The inner wall of the upper end of the sand cleaning drum 2 is embedded with a drum wear ring 2d. Two drum wear rings 2d are provided, and the inner wall cooperates with the outer wall of the upper joint cylindrical section 1e, which not only reduces the friction resistance, but also plays a role in straightening. Two drum seals 2e are provided above the drum wear ring 2d, and the inner edge of the drum seal 2e abuts against the outer wall of the upper joint cylindrical section 1e to prevent the leakage of drilling fluid in the space where the turbine assembly is located.

[0035] The top of the inner circumference of the uppermost turbine stator 5 abuts against the bottom of the stator retaining ring 5a, and the stator retaining ring 5a abuts against the root of the lower shoulder of the upper joint cylindrical section 1e. By grinding the thickness of the stator retaining ring 5a, the axial precision positioning of the upper end of the turbine stator 5 can be achieved. The outer diameter of the stator retaining ring 5a is smaller than the diameter of the circumference of the inner edge of each upper joint flow hole 1b to avoid blocking the water flow.

[0036] The inner circumferential bottom of the lowermost turbine stator 5 abuts against the top of the stator sleeve 5b, the stator sleeve 5b is sleeved on the outer circumference of the central axis 1f of the upper joint, and the bottom of the stator sleeve 5b abuts against the upper end surface of the lower joint 8 through the stator adjustment pad 5c, so as to achieve precise axial positioning of the lower end of the turbine stator 5. The annular space between the outer wall of the stator sleeve 5b and the inner wall of the rotor fixing sleeve 6 serves as a flow passage. The outer diameter of the stator sleeve 5b and the stator adjustment pad 5c is smaller than the diameter of the circumference of the inner edge of each lower joint flow hole 8a to avoid blocking the water flow.

[0037] The outer circumferential bottom of the lowermost turbine rotor 4 abuts against the top of the rotor fixing sleeve 6 to achieve axial positioning of the lower end of the turbine rotor 4. The rotor fixing sleeve 6 is sleeved on the upper outer circumference of the lower joint 8. The upper part of the rotor fixing sleeve 6 is provided with a fixing sleeve external thread section, which is screwed with the internal thread of the lower port of the sand cleaning drum 2. A rotor pressing pad 6d is provided between the shoulder below the fixing sleeve external thread section and the lower port of the sand cleaning drum 2. When the rotor fixing sleeve 6 is tightened, the rotor pressing pad 6d is pressed.

[0038] The inner wall of the rotor fixed sleeve 6 is embedded with a fixed sleeve wear ring 6b, usually two fixed sleeve wear rings 6b are provided, and the inner wall of the fixed sleeve wear ring 6b matches the outer wall of the lower joint cylindrical section. Two fixed sleeve sealing rings 6c are provided below the fixed sleeve wear ring 6b, and the inner edge of the fixed sleeve sealing ring 6c abuts against the outer circumference of the lower joint cylindrical section to achieve sealing between the rotor fixed sleeve 6 and the lower joint 8 to prevent the drilling fluid from leaking from here.

[0039] A lower thrust bearing 7 is installed below the inner step of the lower port of the rotor fixing sleeve 6, and the upper cover of the lower thrust bearing 7 is anchored on the step of the rotor fixing sleeve 6 through the bearing upper pin 7b; the bottom of the lower cover of the lower thrust bearing 7 is pressed against the upper step of the lower joint straightening section through the lower bearing adjustment pad 7a, and the bearing lower pin 7c passes through the pin holes of the lower cover of the lower thrust bearing 7 and the lower bearing adjustment pad 7a and is anchored on the upper part of the upper step of the lower joint straightening section.

[0040] Fixed sleeve water-permeable holes 6a are evenly arranged on the lower circumference of the rotor fixed sleeve 6. The inner port of each fixed sleeve water-permeable hole 6a is connected to the space where the lower thrust bearing 7 is located. The axis of the fixed sleeve water-permeable hole 6a is aligned with the upper and lower cover mating surfaces of the lower thrust bearing 7, which is convenient for cooling and lubricating the lower thrust bearing 7.

[0041] The outer diameter of the lower joint straightening section is larger than the outer diameter of the rest of the lower joint 8. The lower joint straightening section is provided with a lower joint outer spiral groove 8c. The outer wall of the lower joint straightening section is evenly embedded with tungsten teeth 8d, which is convenient for scraping and trimming the wellbore. The lower joint outer spiral groove 8c is usually symmetrically arranged with the upper joint outer spiral groove 1c and rotates in the opposite direction. After the water flows through the upper joint outer spiral groove 1c to generate a vortex in one direction, it flows through the straight grooves between the sand cleaning ridges 2c, and then flows through the lower joint outer spiral groove 8c in the other direction, which will generate a larger vortex and realize hydraulic sand cleaning.
