[0002] As an important downhole tool in oilfield and gas field drilling and production processes, a packer is used to seal the annular space between the tubing and the casing of an oil and gas well. In practical applications, the final sealing is achieved by the deformation of the sealing rubber cylinder on the packer, which acts on the inner wall of the casing to achieve sealing.

[0003] In the preparation of the sealing rubber cylinder, in order to obtain high-temperature resistant properties, it is necessary to improve the material component ratio and at the same time improve the mixing process, especially to control the mixing uniformity and time. At present, generally, a combination of an internal mixer process and an open mill process is used to complete the mixing. During open milling, it is necessary to scrape up the rubber compound that is flipped up by one of the rollers, and when a certain amount is collected, it is put back into the feeding ports of the two rollers of the open mill again for rolling and mixing. At present, this method mostly uses manual operation, which is time-consuming and laborious and requires continuous work, so it is necessary to be improved. Summary of the Invention

The arc-shaped limit plate protrudes toward the middle direction of the pair of roller bodies, and the lower end of the arc-shaped limit plate is used to receive the scraped rubber material from the upper end of the arc-shaped scraper.

[0007] Furthermore, the arc scraper is located above the track of the rubber material turning up with the roller body, and the arc of the bottom surface of the arc scraper matches the circumferential surface of the roller body.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for mixing a high-temperature packer sealing rubber cylinder, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps: The first step is to put half of the mixed raw materials into an internal mixer for mixing. The mixed raw materials are composed of tetrapropyl fluororubber, carbon black, graphene, and calcium stearate. Specifically, the mass fractions of each raw material are: 100 parts of tetrapropyl fluororubber, 45 parts of carbon black, 1 part of calcium stearate, and 10 parts of graphene. The initial temperature of the internal mixer is 40°C to 60°C, the rotor speed is 35 r / min to 50 r / min, and the mixing is carried out for 2 min to 3.5 min. At this time, the temperature of the internal mixer has increased.

[0021] In the second step, put the other half of the mixed raw materials into the internal mixer, control the temperature below 120℃, turn the rubber over 2 to 3 times, and mix for 5 to 8 minutes.

[0022] The third step is to transfer the mixed rubber to a designated place for cooling.

[0023] The fourth step is to put the cooled rubber into the preheated open mill for mixing. Vulcanizer and vulcanizing accelerator are added during mixing. The open mill includes a pair of rollers that rotate towards each other and toward the middle. The distance between the pair of rollers is adjustable. During the open milling process, the material that is turned up by the rollers and attached to the surface of the rollers is continuously peeled off and scraped off to separate from the rollers. The material scraped up by the glass is temporarily collected. After the rollers rotate a predetermined number of times, the collected material is put into the feeding port of the open mill again. This is repeated several times until the open milling is completed.

[0024] The fourth step is to obtain the vulcanized raw material that can be used for vulcanization molding of the high temperature resistant packer sealing rubber cylinder after cooling.

[0025] Generally, when the open mill is in the process of mixing, colloid will be attached to one of the rollers, which needs to be manually scraped and put into the feed port between the two rollers for rolling and mixing again. Generally, it needs to be scraped and put in multiple times, and then after reaching the predetermined mixing degree, the colloid attached to the roller is drawn out to complete the mixing. At present, this process section is basically operated manually. In view of this, the open mill used in the fourth step of the embodiment of the present application is as follows Figures 2 to 4 As shown in , it includes a pair of roller bodies 1, which rotate towards each other and toward the middle. The roller bodies 1 are both arranged on the rotating seat 12 by rotation, and are both connected with a motor and a heater. The motor is used to drive the roller body 1 to rotate, and the heater is used to heat the roller body 1. The rotating seat 12 is arranged on the side rail seat 10.

[0026] The spacing between a pair of roller bodies 1 is adjustable. Specifically, the bottom of the rotating seat 12 corresponding to one of the roller bodies 1 slides in the slide groove 11 of the side rail seat 10. The length direction of the slide groove 11 is consistent with the length direction of the side rail seat 10 and is perpendicular to the length direction of the roller body 1. The side rail seat 10 is provided with an adjustment motor 13 and a screw seat 15, which are respectively located at both ends of the slide groove 11. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 13 is connected to a screw 14, which is threaded through the rotating seat 12 and rotates to fit the screw seat 15. Specifically, the thickness formed by rolling can be adjusted in actual situations through the adjustable spacing.

[0027] Generally, the speed and temperature of the two rollers 1 are controlled differently, so that the colloid will adhere to one of the rollers 1 and turn over. An arc scraper 2 and an arc limit plate 3 are provided above the roller 1 that turns over.

[0028] Both ends of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 are respectively connected with a lifting mechanism 22 through a vertical rod 21. The lifting mechanism 22 is a lifting cylinder and is fixed on the side rail seat 10. The lower end of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 is used to scrape up the rubber material that turns up with the roller 1 when the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 descends to fit the surface of the roller 1. Specifically, the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 is located above the trajectory where the rubber material turns up with the roller 1. The arc of the bottom surface of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 matches the circumferential surface of the roller 1. When the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 descends to fit the surface of the roller 1, the lower end of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 is located at half of the height of the roller 1.

[0029] Both upper ends of the arc-shaped limiting plates 3 are connected with a cross bar 31. Both ends of the cross bar 31 are rotatably matched with the upper cross frame 30, and one end of the cross bar 31 is rotatably matched with a rotating motor 32. The rotating motor 32 is fixed on the upper cross frame 30. The arc-shaped limiting plates 3 protrude towards the middle direction of a pair of rollers 1. The lower ends of the arc-shaped limiting plates 3 are used to receive the scraped-up rubber material from the upper ends of the arc-shaped scraping plates 2. Specifically, in this example, the arc-shaped limiting plates 3 are semi-circular arcs, including multiple ones, arranged in an array along the length direction of the cross bar 31, and the upper ends are all connected with the arc-shaped limiting plates 3.

[0030] Both ends of the upper cross frame 30 are connected to a pair of horizontal linear mechanisms 4. The stroke direction of the horizontal linear mechanisms 4 is perpendicular to the length direction of the roller 1 and is used to drive the upper cross frame 30 to move. The horizontal linear mechanisms 4 adopt screw motor assemblies.

[0031] During application, it operates in the way of a conventional open mill. The mixed rubber after the internal mixing process is put into the feeding ports of a pair of rollers 1 of the open mill, that is, above the middle part of a pair of rollers 1. During the rotation of the roller 1, the rubber material attached to one of the rollers 1 turns up with the roller 1. The arc-shaped scraping plate 2 is lowered in advance through the lifting cylinder, so that the lower part of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 fits the roller 1. When the colloid flips to the arc-shaped scraping plate 2, it will be scraped up to the back of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 under the action of the lower end of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2. As the roller 1 continues to rotate, the scraped-up colloid continues to move towards the middle along the back of the arc-shaped scraping plate 2 and is limited at the arc-shaped limiting plate 3 and moves along the arc of the arc-shaped limiting plate 3, and gradually curls in the area defined by the arc-shaped limiting plate 3. When the scraping of the colloid for one circle of the roller 1 is almost completed, the arc-shaped scraping plate is lifted by the lifting cylinder 22. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting plate 3 is rotated upwards by using the rotating motor 32, and at the same time, the upper cross frame 30 is driven to move towards the feeding port of the roller 1 by using the horizontal linear mechanism 4, so as to realize putting the scraped-up, temporarily collected and curled colloid into the feeding port again. Then, after a preset time interval, the above operation is carried out again. It is executed cyclically until the mixing requirement of the open mill is met. Instead of scraping up, the colloid is introduced for the subsequent process.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent the only ones or limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
