[0057] Without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0058] Embodiment 1

[0059] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, a bottom-sealing device for a new energy storage in depleted gas wells includes: a bottom-sealing material and an extraction shaft 3. During use, the bottom-sealing material is placed in the depleted gas well, and the extraction shaft 3 is used to place the bottom-sealing material into the depleted gas well; through the detachable connection between the extraction shaft 3 and the bottom-sealing material, the extraction shaft 3 is connected to the bottom-sealing material when placing the bottom-sealing material, and the bottom-sealing material is separated from the extraction shaft 3 after placement is completed, and the extraction shaft 3 is withdrawn. When it is necessary to remove the bottom-sealing material, the extraction shaft 3 is inserted into the depleted gas well again, and then the extraction shaft 3 is connected to the bottom-sealing material and the bottom-sealing material is withdrawn together.

[0060] The bottom-sealing material includes: an outer cylinder 2 and an internal support assembly 1. The internal support assembly 1 is arranged inside the outer cylinder 2, and the internal support assembly 1 is used to apply an outward acting force to the outer cylinder 2 and make the outer side surface of the outer cylinder 2 fit against the well wall of the depleted gas well. When the outer side surface of the outer cylinder 2 fits against the well wall of the depleted gas well, the upper and lower parts of the outer cylinder 2 are not communicated;

[0061] The extraction shaft 3 includes: a shaft body 32 and a clamping block 31. The clamping block 31 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shaft body 32, and the clamping block 31 is used to connect to the internal support assembly 1 and apply an acting force to the internal support assembly 1.

[0062] By connecting the clamping block 31 to the internal support member and performing different operations on the shaft body 32, different technical purposes are achieved.

[0063] The outer cylinder 2 includes: a flexible leather cup 21 and a sealing rubber ring 22. A plurality of sealing rubber rings 22 are fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the flexible leather cup 21, and the sealing rubber rings 22 are coaxially arranged with the flexible leather cup 21. After the sealing rings are tensioned, multiple seals can be formed to improve the sealing performance.

[0064] The internal support component is a key structure. It should not only enable the detachable connection between the extraction shaft 3 and the sealed object, but also be able to expand the outer cylinder 2. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the internal support assembly 1 includes: a cylinder 11, a support rod 14, and a drive assembly.

[0065] A through hole 18 adapted to the block 31 is provided on the upper end surface of the cylinder 11, and the diameter of the shaft body 32 is smaller than the width of the through hole 18; the lower ends of a plurality of support rods 14 are rotatably connected to the lower part of the cylinder 11 through spherical rotary joints 16, the rotation plane of the support rods 14 is located in the diameter plane of the cylinder 11, and the upper ends of the support rods 14 are fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the flexible leather cup 21;

[0066] The detachable connection between the extraction shaft 3 and the sealed object is realized through the through hole 18 and the block 31. When connection is required, the block 31 is passed through the through hole 18, and then the shaft body 32 is rotated to misalign the block 31 with the through hole 18, then the cylinder 11 can be lifted, thus achieving the purpose of lifting the entire sealed object.

[0067] The drive assembly is arranged inside the cylinder 11, and the block 31 passes through the through hole 18 to apply a force to the drive assembly; when plugging a depleted gas well is required, the drive assembly applies a force to the support rod 14 to drive the upper end of the support rod 14 to move away from the cylinder 11.

[0068] The expansion of the outer cylinder 2 can be realized through the drive assembly and the support rod 14. Specifically, it is realized through the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes: a power assembly 12, an annular liquid bag 13, and a liquid pipe 15.

[0069] The power assembly 12 is arranged inside the cylinder 11, and the lower part of the power assembly 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the cylinder 11; the annular liquid bag 13 is arranged between the power assembly 12 and the inner side surface of the cylinder 11, and hydraulic oil is filled in the annular liquid bag 13; the first end of the liquid pipe 15 is communicated with the annular liquid bag 13, the second end of the liquid pipe 15 passes through the side wall of the cylinder 11 and the spherical rotary joint 16 and is arranged inside the support rod 14, and both the first end and the second end of the liquid pipe 15 are arranged above the spherical rotary joint 16.

[0070] By applying a force to the annular liquid bag 13 through the power assembly 12, after the power assembly 12 squeezes the annular liquid bag 13, the hydraulic oil in the annular liquid bag 13 is squeezed into the liquid pipe 15. After the flexible hydraulic pipe is squeezed into the hydraulic oil, under the action of the water pressure, the liquid pipe 15 is driven to straighten. When the hydraulic pipe needs to be straightened, the purpose of driving the support rod 14 to rotate will be achieved.

[0071] In addition, if the bottom seal needs to be removed from the depleted gas well, the support rod 14 needs to be reset. Therefore, the driving assembly also includes a reset spring 17, and the two ends of the reset spring 17 are respectively connected to the cylinder 11 and the support rod 14. The reset spring 17 applies a force to the support rod 14 to drive the upper end of the support rod 14 to move toward the direction close to the cylinder 11.

[0072] That is, when the support rod 14 is stretched, the return spring 17 is always in a stretched state. When the bottom cover needs to be removed, the power assembly 12 is controlled not to exert force on the annular liquid capsule 13, resulting in the disappearance of the pressure in the liquid pipe 15. Under the action of the elastic force, the hydraulic oil flows back into the annular liquid capsule 13 and the support rod 14 is retracted.

[0073] Embodiment 2

[0074] A feasible structure of the power assembly 12 is provided below. The power assembly 12 includes a rotating plate 125 , a first semicircular block 121 and a second semicircular block 122 .

[0076] The rotating plate 125 is arranged between the first semicircular block 121 and the second semicircular block 122, and the rotating plate 125 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the cylinder 11 through a rotating device. The rotating axis of the rotating plate 125 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cylinder 11, and the upper end of the rotating plate 125 is provided with a slot 126 adapted to the block 31.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, by rotating the rotating plate 125, the rotating plate 125 makes the first semicircular block 121 and the second semicircular block 122 move up and down (the orientation in the figure), and the outer annular surfaces of the first semicircular block 121 and the second semicircular block 122 squeeze the annular liquid capsule 13, and then the hydraulic oil can enter the liquid pipe 15. The moving distance of the first semicircular block 121 and the second semicircular block 122, the volume of the hydraulic oil discharged by the annular liquid capsule 13, the length of the liquid pipe 15, etc. need to be obtained by technicians according to experiments, so that the liquid pipe 15 has enough pressure to support the support rod 14.

[0081] In order to be able to pull back the first semi-circular block 121 and the second semi-circular block 122 during disassembly, the power assembly 12 further includes a telescopic plate 124. The first telescopic edge of the telescopic plate 124 is fixedly connected to the first semi-circular block 121, and the second telescopic edge of the telescopic plate 124 is fixedly connected to the second semi-circular block 122;

[0082] When the rotating plate 125 is in the blocking state, the telescopic plate 124 is in a state of elastic force, and the telescopic plate 124 applies an inward force to both the first semi-circular block 121 and the second semi-circular block 122;

[0083] When the rotating plate 125 is in the non-blocking state, the telescopic plate 124 is in its original length state.

[0084] The telescopic plate 124 is provided to prevent some hydraulic oil from entering the cavity between the first semi-circular block 121 and the second semi-circular block 122 when the first semi-circular block 121 and the second semi-circular block 122 squeeze the annular liquid sac 13.

[0087] In order to make the extraction and rotation of the extraction shaft 3 more easily stressed, the extraction shaft 3 further includes a force shaft 33. The lower end of the force shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the shaft body 32, and the length of the shaft body 32 is greater than the distance between the upper end surface of the rotating plate 125 and the upper end surface of the cylinder 11; the through hole 18 is a rectangular hole, the clamping block 31 is a rectangular block, and the card slot 126 is a rectangular groove.
