[0007] The present invention is also characterized in that

[0008] A pressure relief valve is provided at a position of the blowout preventer between the valve matching joint and the sealing tool.

[0011] A spring assembly is arranged radially inside one end where the inner tube is connected to the outer tube, and holes are opened on the tube walls corresponding to the two ends of the spring assembly at the position where the inner tube and the outer tube are connected. The inner tube and the outer tube are shearably connected through shearable pins a arranged in the corresponding holes, and the two ends of the spring assembly are respectively fixed on the shearable pins a on the corresponding side.

[0012] The sealing push cylinder includes a hollow tube that can be shear-connected to one end of the outer tube away from the valve matching joint, the hollow tube is coaxially arranged with the outer tube, and the blowout preventer is extended from the other end of the hollow tube. A push cylinder head, a push cylinder body and a push cylinder rear end are sequentially sleeved on the hollow tube from close to the outer tube to away from the outer tube. A section of the push cylinder body away from the outer tube is located outside the blowout preventer and is provided with a push cylinder body step. The push cylinder rear end is connected to the end of the hollow tube away from the outer tube by a thread, and a push cylinder rear end step is also provided at the end of the push cylinder rear end close to the outer tube.

[0015] Another technical solution adopted by the present invention is a method for replacing a valve under pressure in a self-flowing oil well, which adopts the above-mentioned device for replacing a valve under pressure in a self-flowing oil well, and is specifically implemented according to the following steps:

[0016] Step 1, the process of setting and replacing the valve, is completed by connecting the setting tool with the setting push cylinder;

[0017] Step 2, the replacement and unsealing process is completed by connecting the sealing tool and the unsealing tool.

[0018] Step 1 is as follows:

[0019] Step 1.1, connect the valve matching joint to the self-flowing oil well valve to be replaced. At this time, the setting tool and the setting push tube are connected, the pressure relief valve is in a closed state, and there is no pressure inside the blowout preventer;

[0020] Step 1.2, slowly open the self-flowing oil well valve to be replaced;

[0021] Step 1.3, pushing the setting push tube to make the setting tool pass through the valve to be replaced and reach the predetermined position at the front end of the self-flowing oil well valve to be replaced, that is, in the wellhead body pipeline connected to the front end of the self-flowing oil well valve to be replaced;

[0022] Step 1.4, inject high-pressure hydraulic oil into the hydraulic chamber through the liquid inlet pipe to push the push cylinder body forward. The push cylinder body pushes the push cylinder head and the thrust ring forward, forcing the sealing slip, the movable cone, the upper support ring of the rubber cylinder, and the sealing rubber cylinder to move forward synchronously. Since there is no moving space at the front end of the sealing rubber cylinder, the sealing annulus is expanded under the squeeze of the upper support ring and the lower support ring of the rubber cylinder. After the annulus is completely sealed, the sealing rubber cylinder cannot be further compressed, and the movable cone cannot be further moved forward. The sealing slip is forced to slide relatively on the outside of the movable cone due to the continued movement of the thrust ring and expand, and the sealing slip teeth are embedded in the wellhead itself The inner wall of the body pipeline is anchored. After the sealing slip and the thrust ring are moved into place, the limited shear pin a is ejected outward from the holes on the inner and outer pipe walls by the spring assembly, completing the pressure isolation before and after the sealing tool and the limiting of the thrust ring; the high-pressure hydraulic oil is continuously injected into the hydraulic cavity through the liquid inlet pipe. Since the push cylinder body cannot continue to move forward, the rear end of the push cylinder begins to move backward under the force, and at the same time drives the hollow tube to move backward. The backward movement of the hollow tube causes the shear pin b to be sheared, realizing the separation of the sealing push cylinder from the sealing tool, and then the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cavity is recovered through the drain pipe, completing the pressure release in the hydraulic cavity;

[0023] Step 1.5, open the pressure relief valve to release the pressure until the internal pressure of the blowout preventer is 0 MPa, then replace the new valve, which should be in the normally open state, and disassemble the blowout preventer equipped with the setting push cylinder;

[0024] Step 2 is as follows:

[0025] Step 2.1, connect the valve matching joint to the replaced new valve, and pass one end of the unsealing tool with the fishing tooth through the dynamic sealing ring;

[0026] Step 2.2, close the pressure relief valve;

[0027] Step 2.3, push the unsealing tool body through the new valve to the position of the rear end inner tube of the setting tool, continue to push so that the fishing teeth enter the inner tube and bite with the fishing teeth, so that the setting tool is fished out by the unsealing tool;

[0028] Step 2.4, pull the unsealing tool body to move the inner tube backward, so that the shearable pin a is sheared, resulting in the limit of the thrust ring being released, and continue to move the unsealing tool backward, so that the setting tool has the force to move backward. At the same time, since the setting rubber cylinder is in a compressed state and has a rebound force, after the limit of the thrust ring is released, the movable cone has the force to move backward. Under the action of the double force, the setting slip shrinks and releases the anchoring. Continue to pull the unsealing tool to move the thrust ring and the movable cone backward until the setting state is released, and continue to pull the unsealing tool, retract the unsealing tool and the setting tool and put them into the blowout preventer;

[0029] Step 2.5, close the new valve, open the pressure relief valve to release the pressure until the pressure in the blowout preventer is 0 MPa, disassemble the blowout preventer, and recover the device used to replace the valve under pressure in the self-flowing oil well.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] (1) The present invention realizes the replacement of the main valve or the inner valve of the self-flowing oil well without depressurizing or killing the well, thereby reducing the work process and shortening the construction period. The present invention is simple to operate and does not require much manpower and material resources, thus saving the maintenance cost of the self-flowing oil well.

[0032] (2) Since the present invention does not release pressure or kill the self-flowing oil well, it does not cause environmental pollution, oil layer pollution or even the risk of wellhead loss of control, has the advantages of safety and environmental protection, and improves the production efficiency of the oil well;

[0033] (3) The setting tool and setting push tube of the present invention can be reused after the pins are replaced, thereby reducing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0051] Example 2

[0052] On the basis of Example 1, the valve matching joint 1 is connected to the blowout preventer 2 through a thread, and a pressure relief valve 3 with connectivity is connected to the blowout preventer 2 through a thread. A pressure gauge can be threadedly connected to the pressure relief valve 3 to monitor the internal pressure of the blowout preventer 2; and the pressure gauge installed on the pressure relief valve 3 should be greater than the highest production pressure at the wellhead of the self-flowing oil well.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] On the basis of Example 2, the method for replacing a valve under pressure in a self-flowing oil well according to the present invention is specifically implemented according to the following steps:

[0059] Step 1, the process of setting and replacing the valve, is completed by connecting the setting tool 4 with the setting push cylinder 5;

[0060] Step 2, replacing and completing the unsealing process, is completed by connecting the sealing tool 4 with the unsealing tool 7.

[0061] Step 1 is as follows:

[0062] Step 1.1, connect the valve matching joint 1 to the self-flowing oil well valve 8 to be replaced, at this time, the setting tool 4 is connected to the setting push tube 5, the pressure relief valve 3 is in a closed state, and there is no pressure inside the lubricant preventer 2;

[0063] Step 1.2, slowly open the self-flowing oil well valve 8 to be replaced;

[0064] Open the process to observe the pressure gauge and record it in detail to facilitate risk identification and prevention;

[0065] Step 1.3, pushing the setting push tube 5 to make the setting tool 4 pass through the valve to be replaced and reach the predetermined position at the front end of the self-flowing oil well valve 8 to be replaced, that is, in the wellhead body pipeline connected to the front end of the self-flowing oil well valve 8 to be replaced;

[0066] Step 1.4, inject high-pressure hydraulic oil into the hydraulic chamber 506 through the liquid inlet pipe 507, push the push cylinder body 503 to move forward, and the push cylinder body 503 pushes the push cylinder head 501 and the thrust ring 407 to move forward, forcing the sealing slip 405, the movable cone 404, the upper support ring 403 of the rubber cylinder, and the sealing rubber cylinder 402 to move forward synchronously. Since there is no moving space at the front end of the sealing rubber cylinder 402, the sealing annulus is expanded and sealed under the squeezing of the upper support ring 403 and the lower support ring 401 of the rubber cylinder. After the annulus is completely sealed, the sealing rubber cylinder 402 cannot continue to be compressed, and the movable cone 404 cannot continue to move forward, while the sealing slip 405 is forced to move outside the movable cone 404 due to the continued movement of the thrust ring 407. The sealing tool 4 is opened by relative sliding, and the sealing slip tooth 406 is embedded in the inner wall of the wellhead body pipeline and anchored. After the sealing slip 405 and the thrust ring 407 are moved into place, the limiting shear pin a409 is ejected outward from the holes on the walls of the inner tube 410 and the outer tube 411 by the action of the spring assembly 408, completing the pressure isolation before and after the sealing tool 4 and limiting the thrust ring 407; continue to inject high-pressure hydraulic oil into the hydraulic chamber 506 through the liquid inlet pipe 507. Since the push tube body 503 cannot move forward further, the rear end 505 of the push tube begins to move backward under the force, and at the same time drives the hollow tube 502 to move backward. The backward movement of the hollow tube 502 causes the shear pin b504 to be sheared, so that the sealing push tube 5 is separated from the sealing tool 4. Figure 5 As shown, the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the hydraulic chamber 506 is then recovered through the drain pipe 508 to complete the pressure release in the hydraulic chamber 506;

[0067] Step 1.5, open the pressure relief valve 3 to release the pressure until the internal pressure of the lubricant preventer 2 is 0 MPa, then replace the new valve, which should be in the normally open state, and disassemble the lubricant preventer 2 equipped with the setting push tube 5;

[0068] Step 2 is as follows:

[0069] Step 2.1, connect the valve matching connector 1 to the replaced new valve, and pass one end of the unsealing tool 7 provided with the fishing tooth 701 through the dynamic sealing ring 6;

[0070] Step 2.2, close the pressure relief valve 3;

[0071] Step 2.3, such as Figure 6 As shown, the unsealing tool body 702 is pushed through the new valve to the position of the rear end inner tube 410 of the setting tool 4, and the fishing teeth 701 are continuously pushed to enter the inner tube 410 and engage with the fishing teeth 412, so that the setting tool 4 is fished out by the unsealing tool 7;

[0072] Step 2.4, pull the unsealing tool body 702 to move the inner tube 410 backward, so that the shearable pin a409 is sheared, resulting in the limit of the thrust ring 407 being released, and continue to move the unsealing tool 7 backward, so that the setting tool 4 has the force to move backward. At the same time, since the setting rubber cylinder 402 is in a compressed state and has a rebound force, after the limit of the thrust ring 407 is released, the movable cone 404 has the force to move backward. Under the action of the double force, the setting slip 405 shrinks and releases the anchoring, and the unsealing tool 7 is continued to be pulled to move the thrust ring 407 and the movable cone 404 backward until the setting state is released, and the unsealing tool 7 is continued to be pulled, and the unsealing tool 7 and the setting tool 4 are recovered and put into the blowout preventer 2;

[0073] Step 2.5, close the new valve, open the pressure relief valve 3 to release the pressure until the pressure in the blowout preventer 2 is 0 MPa, disassemble the blowout preventer 2, and recover the device for replacing the valve under pressure in the self-flowing oil well.

A method for replacing valves under pressure in a self-flowing oil well, characterized in that: The device for replacing a valve under pressure in a self-flowing oil well as claimed in claim 6 is implemented in the following steps: Step 1, the process of setting and replacing the valve, is completed by connecting the setting tool (4) with the setting push cylinder (5); Step 2, replacing and completing the unsealing process, is completed by connecting the sealing tool (4) and the unsealing tool (7).

10. The method for replacing a valve under pressure in a self-flowing oil well according to claim 9, characterized in that: The step 1 is specifically as follows: Step 1.1, connect the valve matching joint (1) to the self-flowing oil well valve (8) to be replaced, at this time, the setting tool (4) and the setting push tube (5) are connected, the pressure relief valve (3) is in a closed state, and there is no pressure inside the blowout preventer (2); Step 1.2, slowly opening the self-flowing oil well valve (8) to be replaced; Step 1.3, pushing the setting push cylinder (5) to make the setting tool (4) pass through the valve to be replaced and reach the predetermined position at the front end of the self-flowing oil well valve (8) to be replaced, that is, in the wellhead body pipeline connected to the front end of the self-flowing oil well valve (8) to be replaced; Step 1.4, inject high-pressure hydraulic oil into the hydraulic chamber (506) through the liquid inlet pipe (507), push the push tube body (503) to move forward, and the push tube body (503) pushes the push tube head (501) and the thrust ring (407) to move forward, forcing the sealing slip (405), the movable cone (404), the upper support ring of the rubber tube (403), and the sealing rubber tube (402) to move forward synchronously. Since there is no moving space at the front end of the sealing rubber tube (402), the sealing annulus is expanded under the squeezing of the upper support ring (403) and the lower support ring (401) of the rubber tube. After the annulus is completely sealed, the sealing rubber tube (402) cannot be further compressed, and the movable cone (404) cannot be further moved forward. The sealing slip (405) is forced to slide relatively on the outside of the movable cone (404) due to the continued movement of the thrust ring (407) and is stretched open, and the sealing slip teeth (406) are embedded in the wellhead. The inner wall of the body pipeline is anchored, and after the sealing slip (405) and the thrust ring (407) are moved into place, the limiting shear pin a (409) is ejected outward from the holes on the walls of the inner tube (410) and the outer tube (411) by the action of the spring assembly (408), thereby completing the pressure isolation before and after the sealing tool (4) and the limiting of the thrust ring (407); high-pressure hydraulic oil is continuously injected into the hydraulic chamber (506) through the liquid inlet pipe (507), and since the push cylinder body (503) cannot continue to move forward, the rear end (505) of the push cylinder begins to move backward under the force, and at the same time drives the hollow tube (502) to move backward, and the backward movement of the hollow tube (502) causes the shear pin b (504) to be sheared, thereby realizing the separation of the sealing push cylinder (5) from the sealing tool (4), and then the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the hydraulic chamber (506) is recovered through the liquid discharge pipe (508), thereby completing the pressure release in the hydraulic chamber (506); Step 1.5, open the pressure relief valve (3) to release the pressure until the internal pressure of the blowout preventer (2) is 0 MPa, then replace the new valve, which should be in a normally open state, and at the same time dismantle the blowout preventer (2) equipped with the setting push cylinder (5); The step 2 is specifically as follows: Step 2.1, connect the valve matching connector (1) to the replaced new valve, and pass one end of the unsealing tool (7) provided with the fishing tooth (701) through the dynamic sealing ring (6); Step 2.2, close the pressure relief valve (3); Step 2.3, pushing the unsealing tool body (702) through the new valve to the position of the rear end inner tube (410) of the setting tool (4), and continuing to push so that the fishing teeth (701) enter the inner tube (410) and engage with the fishing teeth (412), so that the setting tool (4) is fished out by the unsealing tool (7); Step 2.4, pull the unsealing tool body (702) to move the inner tube (410) backward, so that the shearable pin a (409) is sheared, resulting in the limit of the thrust ring (407) being released, and the unsealing tool (7) is continued to move backward, so that the setting tool (4) has the force to move backward. At the same time, since the setting rubber cylinder (402) is in a compressed state and has a rebound force, after the limit of the thrust ring (407) is released, the movable cone (404) has the force to move backward. Under the action of the double force, the setting slip (405) shrinks and releases the anchoring. Continue to pull the unsealing tool (7) to move the thrust ring (407) and the movable cone (404) backward until the setting state is released, and continue to pull the unsealing tool (7), retract the unsealing tool (7) and the setting tool (4) into the blowout preventer (2); Step 2.5, close the new valve, open the pressure relief valve (3) to release the pressure until the pressure in the blowout preventer (2) is 0 MPa, disassemble the blowout preventer (2), and recover the device for replacing the valve under pressure in the self-flowing oil well.
