[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with 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 intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a packer system with a wellbore scraping function provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a packer assembly 1, wherein the packer assembly 1 includes a sleeve 101; the packer system with a wellbore scraping function also includes: A scraping assembly 2, which is arranged at one end of the sliding sleeve 101 and is used to scrape obstacles on the well wall when the sliding sleeve 101 is lowered into the well; A driving component 3, which is arranged on one side of the scraping component 2 and is used to drive the scraping component 2 to perform scraping work; the driving component 3 and the scraping component 2 are detachably connected; A retractable assembly 4, one end of which is slidably disposed in the driving assembly 3, and is used to disassemble and assemble the connection between the driving assembly 3 and the scraping assembly 2; The driving assembly 3 comprises: A first gear 301, which is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 101; the first gear 301 is a detachable structure; The scraping assembly 2 comprises: A cleaning blade 201, wherein the cleaning blade 201 is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 101, and a tooth groove meshing with the first gear 301 is provided on the inner side of the cleaning blade 201; Specifically, by starting the driving assembly 3, the first gear 301 in the driving assembly 3 drives the cleaning blade 201 in the cleaning assembly 2 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 2 to work and clean the obstacles in the well wall; In this embodiment, the first gear 301 can be driven to perform linear movement in the vertical direction through the retracting and releasing component 4, so that the first gear 301 is disconnected from the cleaning blade 201, thereby completing the separation between the cleaning component 2 and the driving component 3. After the cleaning component 2 completes the cleaning of obstacles in the well wall, it can be recovered, thereby realizing the reuse of the cleaning component 2, improving the utilization rate of the cleaning component 2, and also reducing the weight of the packing component 1 during underground operation, reducing the risk of error of the packing component 1 during the setting process; It should be explained that when the packing assembly 1 is working underground, if the well wall does not need to be scraped, by separating the scraping assembly 2 from the driving assembly 3, the weight of the packing assembly 1 can be reduced, so that the packing assembly 1 will not slide or even fall due to excessive weight after the packing assembly 1 is set, thereby reducing the risk of error of the packing assembly 1 during the setting process; In addition, when the isolation assembly 1 is performing underground operations, if there are obstacles in the well wall that need to be scraped, the scraping assembly 2 can be lowered into the well through the retracting assembly 4, so that the scraping blade 201 and the first gear 301 are restored to meshing connection, and then the driving assembly 3 is started to allow the scraping assembly 2 to complete the scraping of the obstacles in the well wall, thereby improving the convenience of the isolation assembly 1 during underground operations.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the scraping assembly 2 further includes: The cleaning blade 201 is fixedly arranged on one side of the recyclable cleaning shell 202.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving component 3 also includes: A second gear 302, which is rotatably disposed on one side of the sliding sleeve 101, and the second gear 302 is meshed and connected with the first gear 301 through a groove provided on the first gear 301; A rotating shaft 305, wherein the rotating shaft 305 is rotatably disposed on the sliding sleeve 101, and the rotating shaft 305 is penetrated and fixedly connected with the second gear 302, so as to provide support for the second gear 302; Specifically, by rotating the second gear 302, the second gear 302 drives the first gear 301 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning blade 201 to rotate, so that the cleaning assembly 2 works to clean the obstacles in the well wall.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving component 3 also includes: A connecting rod 303, wherein the connecting rod 303 is disposed on one side of the second gear 302, and one end of the connecting rod 303 is connected to the second gear 302 via a fixing block fixedly disposed on the second gear 302, and the fixing block fixedly disposed on the second gear 302 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 303; The hydraulic telescopic member 304 is arranged on one side of the connecting rod 303, the hydraulic telescopic member 304 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 101, and the hydraulic telescopic member 304 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 303 through a connecting member 306 fixedly arranged on the extended end of the hydraulic telescopic member 304.

[0031] Specifically, by starting the hydraulic telescopic member 304, the extended end of the hydraulic telescopic member 304 drives one end of the connecting rod 303 to perform linear motion through the connecting member 306. Since the other end of the connecting rod 303 is connected to the second gear 302 through the rotating shaft 305, the other end of the connecting rod 303 performs circular motion, thereby driving the second gear 302 to rotate, and finally the scraping component 2 scrapes the obstacles in the well wall.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the retractable assembly 4 specifically includes: A slider 401, wherein the slider 401 is slidably disposed on the second gear 302; A retracting rod 402, wherein the retracting rod 402 is fixedly disposed on one side of the slider 401, and is used to drive the second gear 302 to perform linear motion in a vertical direction through the slider 401; Specifically, by pulling the retracting rod 402 in the vertical direction, the retracting rod 402 drives the slider 401 to perform linear motion, and the slider 401 drives the cleaning blade 201 to perform linear motion in the vertical direction, so that the cleaning assembly 2 and the driving assembly 3 can be disassembled and assembled, thereby improving the convenience of the packing assembly 1; It should be explained that when the packing assembly 1 has entered the well, if it is found that the well wall needs to be scraped, the retractable scraping shell 202 in the scraping assembly 2 can be restored to mesh with the first gear 301 in the driving assembly 3 through the retractable assembly 4, so as to complete the scraping of obstacles in the well wall, thereby improving the convenience of the packing assembly 1. In addition, the method of pulling the retractable rod 402 includes but is not limited to a rope, a motor drive, etc.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing assembly 1 specifically includes: A sealing rubber sleeve 103, wherein the sealing rubber sleeve 103 is disposed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 101, and one end of the sealing rubber sleeve 103 is in contact connection with the sliding sleeve 101, and the inner side of the sealing rubber sleeve 103 is in sliding connection with the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 101; Two groups of extrusion members 102, the two groups of extrusion members 102 are slidably disposed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 101, and one end of the two groups of extrusion members 102 is respectively abutted and connected with one end of the sealing rubber sleeve 103, so as to extrude the sealing rubber sleeve 103; A slip 104, wherein the slip 104 is fixedly disposed on one side of the extrusion member 102; A slip regulator 105, wherein the slip regulator 105 is disposed on one side of the slip 104, and one end of the slip regulator 105 is in contact with the slip 104; the slip regulator 105 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 101; Specifically, pressure is applied to the extrusion piece 102 so that the extrusion piece 102 performs linear movement. At this time, the sealing rubber sleeve 103 is made of rubber and will deform when subjected to pressure. Since the inner side of the sealing rubber sleeve 103 is in contact with the sleeve 101, the sealing rubber sleeve 103 is in contact with the well wall, thereby completing the isolation of the working well. At the same time, when the extrusion piece 102 performs linear movement, it will drive the cava 104 to perform linear movement. At this time, the contact point between the cava 104 and the cava adjuster 105 is displaced, thereby changing the linear movement angle of one end of the cava 104, until one end of the cava 104 is in contact with the well wall, and the cava 104 stops linear movement, thereby reinforcing the stability of the sleeve 101 and preventing the sleeve 101 from moving up and down.

[0034] In addition, the method of applying pressure to the extrusion member 102 is to make the extrusion member 102 perform linear motion. The methods of making the extrusion member 102 perform linear motion include but are not limited to motor drive, gravity drive, etc.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first gear 301 includes: A detachable plate 307 is provided on one side of the first gear 301 and is in contact connection with the first gear 301, and is used to disassemble and assemble the first gear 301 through a bolt 308 threadedly connected to the first gear 301; the bolt 308 is used to apply pressure to the detachable plate 307 to maintain the contact connection between the detachable plate 307 and the first gear 301; Specifically, by disconnecting the threaded connection between the bolt 308 and the first gear 301, the first gear 301 can be disassembled, and vice versa for assembly, which can achieve the rapid disassembly and assembly of the drive assembly 3, thereby reducing the load of the packer assembly 1 when scraping is not required, preventing the packer assembly 1 from failing to set due to excessive load, and optimizing the setting efficiency of the packer assembly 1 during setting; It should be explained that the first gear 301 is fixed after being split into two and then reassembled, and is fixed by the detachable plate 307 and the bolt 308. Removing the bolt 308 can restore the first gear 301 to the disassembled state; in addition, the reason for setting it in a split state is that both sides of the first gear 301 are in a state of close contact with the sliding sleeve 101 (to ensure the stability of the first gear 301 during rotation and prevent the meshing connection between the second gear 302 and the first gear 301 from being unstable, resulting in the inability to achieve the power transmission effect), and the first gear 301 cannot be directly disassembled from the sliding sleeve 101.

[0036] The present invention can not only set a scraping assembly 2 at one end of the packer assembly 1, and then drive the scraping assembly 2 to work through the drive assembly 3, thereby scraping the obstacles in the wellbore, improving the fitting degree of the packer assembly 1 with the wellbore during setting, and thus improving the setting effect of the packer assembly 1, but also drive the scraping assembly 2 to perform a linear motion through the retracting and extending assembly 4, thereby disassembling and assembling the connection between the scraping assembly 2 and the packer assembly 1, reducing the load of the packer assembly 1 when the wellbore does not need to be scraped, and at the same time assembling when the wellbore needs to be scraped, improving the convenience of the scraping assembly 2, and thus improving the setting efficiency of the packer assembly 1; At the same time, the modular design of the scraping assembly 2 and the drive assembly 3 enables each component of the system to be replaced or upgraded individually, reducing the maintenance cost, and at the same time improving the scalability and flexibility of the system In addition, the downhole operation environment is complex and dangerous. The quick disassembly and assembly design of the scraping assembly 2 by the retracting and extending assembly 4 reduces the operation difficulty and risk of downhole workers and improves the operation safety.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
