Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of positive displacement motors, and particularly relates to a positive displacement motor with an underground self - adaptive adjustable centralizer strip orientation. Background Art

[0002] A positive displacement motor mainly consists of five parts: a drive shaft assembly, a universal shaft assembly, a bent housing assembly, a motor assembly, and a falling prevention assembly. According to different drilling conditions, different drill string combinations need to be matched, and some positive displacement motors require a centralizer. The centralizer of a positive displacement motor is generally located on the outer housing of the drive shaft assembly, and centralizers with different structures and sizes are selected according to the size of the wellbore.

[0003] The centralizers of positive displacement motors are divided into integral centralizers and replaceable centralizers. The replaceable centralizer is thread - connected to the drive shaft assembly. The centralizer strip of the centralizer is a key component of the centralizer, which has the functions of controlling the wellbore trajectory, reaming, and trimming the wellbore wall. By adjusting the position and size of the centralizer, the drill string structure can be changed, and its build - up, holding, and dropping inclination performances can be changed, so as to reduce the footage of sliding directional drilling and use more drilling parameters that are more conducive to saving time. The centralizer strips are classified according to different wear - resistant layers, mainly including wear - resistant surfacing layers, hard alloy wear - resistant blocks, and thermally stable polycrystalline wear - resistant blocks, etc. Regardless of the wear - resistance of the centralizer strip, uneven wear will occur due to contact with the wellbore wall during use, which will affect the control of the wellbore trajectory and lead to the situation of pulling out the drill string to replace the positive displacement motor.

[0004] For the existing centralizer structures, whether integral centralizers or replaceable centralizers, once uneven wear occurs, they can only be returned to the factory for disassembly, repair, or replacement.

[0005] The existing centralizers of the drive shaft assembly of positive displacement motors all have obvious deficiencies, which are mainly manifested as follows:

[0006] 1. The centralizer strip of the centralizer has no self - adaptive adjustment ability underground;

[0007] 2. The wear - resistant performance of the centralizer has a cask - effect compared with the service life of the positive displacement motor itself, which will affect the drilling cycle and efficiency. During the actual use of the centralizer, due to the bent housing assembly having a certain curvature, during the use of the drive shaft assembly, the centralizer strip corresponding to the outermost side of the bent housing assembly on the drive shaft assembly wears most severely, and the wear - resistant layer on the centralizer strip will be worn out first. Although the centralizer strip without the wear - resistant layer can still work normally, if the wear - resistant layer is not repaired or replaced after wear, the centralizer strip without the wear - resistant layer will wear rapidly, resulting in the entire centralizer losing its function.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1.

At this time, the toggle block always moves with the transmission shaft, but the toggle block is located at the lower end of the reversing lock tongue and is in contact, so that the straightening device cannot be driven to rotate. When the wear-resistant layer is worn away, the outer end of the commutator loses the obstruction of the wear-resistant layer. Under the push of the elastic member, the outer end of the trigger passes through the trigger hole, so that the inner end of the trigger is separated from the surface of the reversing lock tongue.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] Figures 1 to 9 The following shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment, the upper end is Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 the right end shown in the following, and the lower end is the left end in the above figure.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] A downhole screw drill with an adaptively adjustable centralizer strip orientation includes a drop prevention assembly 1, a motor assembly 2, a bent housing assembly 3, a universal shaft assembly 4, and a drive shaft assembly 5 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The drive shaft assembly 5 includes a drive shaft housing 6 and a drive shaft 7 rotatably arranged within the drive shaft housing 6. An outer side of the drive shaft housing 6 is rotatably sleeved with a centralizer 8. A plurality of centralizer strips 9 are vertically arranged around an outer side of the centralizer 8. A sliding hole 10 is provided at a position of the lower end of the centralizer 8 corresponding to the centralizer strip 9. A reversing lock tongue 11 is slidably arranged within the sliding hole 10. A pop-up member for controlling the downward movement of a toggle block 15 is provided at a bottom of the sliding hole 10. A trigger hole 12 communicating with a surface of the centralizer strip 9 is provided in a wall of the sliding hole 10. A wear-resistant layer 13 is provided on the surface of the centralizer strip 9, and the wear-resistant layer 13 seals the trigger hole 12. A trigger 14 and an elastic member are movably arranged within the trigger hole 12. An outer end of the trigger 14 abuts against an inner side of the wear-resistant layer 13, and the other end is engaged with a surface of the reversing lock tongue 11. The elastic member is used to push the trigger 14 to separate from the surface of the reversing lock tongue 11 after the wear-resistant layer 13 is worn out; a toggle block 15 is provided on an outer wall of the drive shaft 7 below the reversing lock tongue 11. When the lower end of the reversing lock tongue 11 moves downward, it contacts the toggle block 15 to drive the centralizer 8 to rotate. A second top block 16 for driving the reversing lock tongue 11 to retract into the sliding hole 10 is provided on a surface of the drive shaft housing 6 below the centralizer 8. Before the wear-resistant layer 13 on the centralizer strip 9 is worn out, the wear-resistant layer 13 is used to hold the trigger 14, so that an inner end of the trigger 14 is engaged with a surface of the reversing lock tongue 11, thereby fixing the reversing lock tongue 11. At this time, the toggle block 15 always moves together with the drive shaft 7, but the toggle block 15 is located in contact with the lower end of the reversing lock tongue 11, so that the centralizer 8 cannot be driven to rotate. After the wear-resistant layer 13 is worn out, the outer end of the centralizer 8 loses the block of the wear-resistant layer 13. Under the push of the elastic member, the outer end of the trigger 14 penetrates out of the trigger hole 12, so that the inner end of the trigger 14 is separated from the surface of the reversing lock tongue 11. At this time, the pop-up member is used to push the reversing lock tongue 11 downward until the lower end of the reversing lock tongue 11 contacts the toggle block 15, so that under the push of the toggle block 15, the centralizer 8 rotates, and the centralizer strip 9 with the worn-out wear-resistant layer 13 is moved away from its original orientation, that is, moved away from the position corresponding to the outermost side of the bent housing assembly 3, and the centralizer strip 9 without the worn-out wear-resistant layer 13 moves to this position. After rotating in place, the lower end of the reversing lock tongue 11 contacts the second top block 16, and the reversing lock tongue 11 is retracted into the sliding hole 10 by means of the second top block 16, so that the toggle block 15 is separated from the reversing lock tongue 11, and the centralizer 8 cannot be driven to rotate. And when the wear-resistant layer 13 on the centralizer strip 9 at the outermost side position of the bent housing assembly 3 is worn out at this time, the above movement will be automatically repeated, so that the next centralizer strip 9 rotates to this position, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the centralizer strip 9. The present invention enables the centralizer strip 9 of the centralizer 8 to have downhole adaptability and realizes the automatic commutation of the centralizer strip 9 after eccentric wear.Improve the service life of the entire positive displacement motor, solve the "barrel short board effect" caused by the eccentric wear of the centralizer 9, and improve the drilling efficiency. Greatly improve the drilling efficiency of the positive displacement motor and the utilization rate of the wear-resistant material of the centralizer 9.

[0035] The ejecting member includes a telescopic rod 17 and a first spring 18. An elastic hole 19 is recessed at the bottom of the sliding hole 10. One end of the telescopic rod 17 is connected to the bottom of the elastic hole 19, and the other end is connected to the upper end of the reversing lock tongue 11. The first spring 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 17, and the upper end of the first spring 18 is connected to the bottom of the elastic hole 19, and the lower end is connected to the upper end of the reversing lock tongue 11. By providing the first spring 18, when the trigger 14 is separated from the reversing lock tongue 11, the elastic force of the first spring 18 is used to push the reversing lock tongue 11 to move downward quickly. By providing the telescopic rod 17, it can support the first spring 18 and prevent the first spring 18 from being bent during compression and extension, resulting in the reversing lock tongue 11 not being able to pop out quickly smoothly.

[0036] The elastic member is a second spring 20. A limit nut 21 is provided on the inner wall of the inner end of the trigger hole 12. A limit ring 22 is provided on the outer wall of the trigger 14 outside the limit nut 21. The second spring 20 is sleeved on the outer wall of the trigger 14 between the limit ring 22 and the limit nut 21, and both ends of the second spring 20 are in contact with and abutted against the limit ring 22 and the limit nut 21 respectively; a clamping hole 23 is provided at the position where the reversing lock tongue 11 aligns with the trigger hole 12, and the inner end of the trigger 14 passes through the limit nut 21 and is clamped in the clamping hole 23; the end of the trigger 14 that fits the wear-resistant layer 13 is made of a material that is easily worn. Through the clamping hole 23, when the wear-resistant layer 13 has not been worn off, the reversing lock tongue 11 can be fixed in the sliding hole 10 by means of the clamping hole 23 and the trigger 14. The material that is easily worn is selected from plastics, low-density metals, or other materials that can be worn off in a short time. In this way, when the second spring 20 pushes the trigger 14 to move outward toward the trigger hole 12, the inner end of the trigger 14 can be quickly separated from the reversing lock tongue 11 by quickly wearing off the easily worn material. After the wear-resistant layer 13 is worn, the second spring 20 pushes the trigger 14 to move toward the outer end of the trigger hole 12 so that the outer end of the trigger 14 contacts and rubs against the hole wall of the drilling hole, thereby quickly consuming the easily worn material and separating the trigger 14 from the clamping hole 23.

[0037] The lower end of the reversing locking tongue 11 is connected with a driving block 24 below the sliding hole 10. A rotating groove 25 is recessed on the side surface around the lower end of the transmission shaft housing 6. The lower groove wall of the rotating groove 25 is communicated with the lower end of the transmission shaft housing 6. A first top block 26 is protruded on the inner side of the driving block 24. The inner side of the first top block 26 is slidably attached to the bottom of the rotating groove 25. One side of the first top block 26 facing the rotating direction of the aligner 8 is provided with a first arc surface 27. The first arc surface 27 is gradually inclined along the rotating direction of the aligner 8 from bottom to top. A second top block 16 is protruded on the bottom of the rotating groove 25. The distance between the second top block 16 and the upper groove wall of the rotating groove 25 is greater than the height of the first top block 26. One side of the second top block 16 facing away from the rotating direction of the aligner 8 is provided with a second arc surface 28 that is slidably attached to the first arc surface 27. The hole wall of the sliding hole 10 is provided with a first accommodation hole 29 and a second accommodation hole 30 at intervals below the trigger hole 12. A locking hole 31 is provided on the surface of the reversing locking tongue 11. A locking column 32 is arranged in the first accommodation hole 29. The locking column 32 is in contact with the bottom of the first accommodation hole 29 through a third spring 33. A nylon ball 34 is arranged in the locking hole 31. The nylon ball 34 is in contact with the bottom of the locking hole 31 through a fourth spring 35. When the inner end of the trigger 14 is clamped in the clamping hole 23, the first accommodation hole 29 and the locking hole 31 are aligned, and the locking column 32 and the nylon ball 34 are in contact and fit, so that the nylon ball 34 is placed in the locking hole 31 and the locking column 32 is placed in the first accommodation hole 29. After the reversing locking tongue 11 moves downward to complete, the second accommodation hole 30 and the locking hole 31 are aligned, and the fourth spring 35 pushes the nylon ball 34 into the second accommodation hole 30. The depth of the second accommodation hole 30 is the same as the diameter of the nylon ball 34. After the first top block 26 and the second top block 16 cooperate to push the reversing locking tongue 11 upward to complete, the first accommodation hole 29 and the locking hole 31 are aligned again, and the third spring 33 pushes the inner end of the locking column 32 into the locking hole 31. With such a setting, as Figure 6 shown, when the wear-resistant layer 13 is not worn off, the inner end of the trigger 14 is inserted into the clamping hole 23 to fix the reversing locking tongue 11. At this time, the first accommodation hole 29 and the locking hole 31 are aligned, and the locking column 32 and the nylon ball 34 are in contact and fit. By selecting different elastic third springs 33 and fourth springs 35, the nylon ball 34 and the locking column 32 are in a balanced state. The nylon ball 34 is placed in the locking hole 31 and the locking column 32 is placed in the first accommodation hole 29. As Figure 7As shown, after the friction wears off, the trigger 14 gradually separates from the locking hole 23. When the trigger 14 moves away from the locking hole 23, the reversing lock tongue 11 is quickly pushed downward by the thrust of the first spring 18, so that the lower end of the reversing lock tongue 11 can contact the toggle block 15. At this time, the locking hole 31 moves downward with the reversing lock tongue 11, from being aligned with the first accommodating hole 29 to being aligned with the second accommodating hole 30, and the nylon ball 34 is pushed into the second accommodating hole 30 by the fourth spring 35. When the toggle block 15 moves to the position of the reversing lock tongue 11 that pops out, the centralizer 8 is rotated under the drive of the toggle block 15. When the reversing lock tongue 11 that pops out moves to the position of the second top block 16, the reversing lock tongue 11 is pushed upward by the contact between the first arc surface 27 and the second arc surface 28, and retracted into the sliding hole 10 again, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the locking hole 31 of the reversing lock tongue 11 moves from the position aligned with the second receiving hole 30 to the position aligned with the first receiving hole 29, so that the locking column 32 in the first receiving hole 29 enters the locking hole 31 under the push of the third spring 33 and compresses the fourth spring 35. At this time, the reversing lock tongue 11 is re-locked in the sliding hole 10. For example, when there are five straightening bars 9 distributed on the surface of a straightener 8, it pops out from the reversing lock tongue 11, contacts the second top block 16 under the push of the toggle block 15, and retracts into the sliding hole 10. In this process, the straightener 8 rotates 72 degrees, that is, the angle of one-fifth of a circle. And each subsequent reversing lock tongue 11 rotates this angle after it pops out until all five straightening bars 9 rotate to this position to work.

[0038] The outer wall of the transmission shaft 7 near the lower end is sleeved with a bearing sleeve 36, and the toggle block 15 is arranged on the bearing sleeve 36. The bearing sleeve 36 serves as a friction member between the transmission shaft housing 6 and the transmission shaft 7 to avoid direct friction contact between the transmission shaft 7 and the transmission shaft housing 6.

[0039] A stopper 37 is provided at the bottom of the rotation groove 25 on the side of the reversing lock tongue 11 at the outermost position of the curved shell assembly 3 facing the rotation direction of the centralizer 8. The stopper 37 is arranged in contact with the upper groove wall of the rotation groove 25. The height of the stopper 37 is less than the spacing between the first receiving hole 29 and the second receiving hole 30, and the thickness of the stopper 37 is less than the depth of the rotation groove 25.

[0040] Embodiment 2:

[0041] On the basis of Embodiment 1, a crossed roller bearing 38 is installed on the upper side of the centralizer 8 on the transmission shaft housing 6. The inner ring of the crossed roller bearing 38 is connected to the outer wall of the transmission shaft housing 6, and the upper end of the centralizer 8 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the crossed roller bearing 38 through a fixing bolt 39. By providing the crossed roller bearing 38, the centralizer 8 can rotate smoothly on the surface of the transmission shaft housing 6, and at the same time, the centralizer 8 can work stably.

[0042] The crossed roller bearing 38 is installed at the connection between the transmission shaft housing 6 and the bent housing assembly 3. A ratchet wheel 40 is provided on the upper side of the outer ring surrounding the crossed roller bearing 38, a ratchet tooth 41 is provided on the upper side of the ratchet wheel 40, and a ratchet pawl 42 matching the ratchet tooth 41 is provided at the lower end of the bent housing assembly 3. The ratchet pawl 42 is used to limit the one-way rotation of the ratchet wheel 40. Through the cooperation of the ratchet wheel 40 and the ratchet pawl 42, the rotation direction of the centralizer 8 can be restricted, and the centralizer 8 can be prevented from rotating in the direction opposite to the transmission shaft 7.

[0043] A stop ring 43 is provided around the lower end of the bent housing assembly 3. The ratchet pawl 42 is provided on the lower side of the stop ring 43. A telescopic groove 44 is recessed around the lower end of the bent housing assembly 3. An adjusting ring 45 is provided around the upper end of the stop ring 43. The adjusting ring 45 is slidably arranged up and down in the telescopic groove 44. A fifth spring 46 is installed in the telescopic groove 44. The upper end of the fifth spring 46 is in contact with the bottom of the telescopic groove 44, and the lower end is in contact with the upper side of the stop ring 43. A limiting sliding groove is provided at the lower end of the bent housing assembly 3, and a limiting block 48 matching the limiting sliding groove is provided at the upper end of the stop ring 43. The limiting block 48 is slidably arranged up and down in the limiting sliding groove. When the centralizer 8 rotates, the ratchet tooth 41 on the ratchet wheel 40 rotates with the ratchet wheel 40, thereby pushing the ratchet pawl 42 engaged with the ratchet tooth 41 to move upward, thereby pushing the stop ring 43 to move upward. During the upward movement of the stop ring 43, the adjusting ring 45 is driven to compress the fifth spring 46. Every time the ratchet tooth 41 and the ratchet pawl 42 move a tooth pitch distance, the fifth spring 46 will push the stop ring 43 to move downward to make the ratchet tooth 41 and the ratchet pawl 42 engage. With the cooperation of the limiting sliding groove and the limiting block 48, the rotation of the stop ring 43 can be restricted, and thus the rotation of the centralizer 8 can be restricted by the stop ring 43.

[0044] The inner wall of the transmission shaft housing 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the transmission shaft 7 through a composite sheet bearing 47.
