[0002] Thermal recovery packers are common and key downhole tools in heavy oil exploitation, and are used for steam injection well plugging, stratified steam injection, etc.
[0003] Existing thermal recovery packers use hydraulic setting and lifting to release the seal. When the high-temperature sealing rubber barrel is released, the rubber barrel is prone to jamming and cannot be released smoothly. At the same time, existing thermal recovery packers have a large heat loss during the plugging of injection wells, which affects the plugging effect. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects, and provide an anti-sticking thermal recovery packer, which can prevent the rubber barrel from jamming during the release process, and at the same time reduce the loss of steam injection thermal efficiency and improve the plugging effect, and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] Both ends of the outer side of the heat insulation short section are threadedly connected to the inner sides of the heat insulation coupling and the anti-sticking coupling respectively. One end of the sealing short section is threadedly connected to the inner side of the anti-sticking coupling, and the other end is located inside the setting pusher;
[0007] An unlocking central tube is arranged in the heat insulation short section and the sealing short section. One end of the unlocking central tube is threadedly connected to a hanging sealing sleeve. The hanging sealing sleeve is hung at one end of the heat insulation short section. The other end of the unlocking central tube is threadedly connected to a heat insulation sealing sleeve. The heat insulation sealing sleeve is arranged in the sealing short section. A high-temperature sealing rubber barrel is sleeved on the outer side of the sealing short section. The inside of the heat insulation sealing sleeve is threadedly connected to one end of a pressure transmission pipe. The other end of the pressure transmission pipe is connected to a piston joint. Pressure transmission holes are arranged on the pressure transmission pipe. The piston joint is arranged in the cylinder body. One end of the cylinder body is connected to the setting pusher through the setting cylinder head. The other end of the piston joint is connected to the transition short section.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an annular vacuum heat insulation space is formed between the hanging sealing sleeve, the heat insulation short section, the unlocking central tube and the anti-sticking coupling.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, one end of the sealing nipple is connected to the fixed seat.

Detailed Embodiments
[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an anti-sticking thermal recovery packer, which includes a heat insulation coupling 1. The inner side surface of the heat insulation coupling 1 is threadedly connected with a heat insulation short section 5. One end of the heat insulation short section 5 is suspended with a suspension seal sleeve 2. The other end of the heat insulation short section 5 is threadedly connected to the inner side surface of an anti-sticking coupling 7. The other end of the inner side surface of the anti-sticking coupling 7 is threadedly connected with a seal short section 9. The other end of the seal short section 9 is located inside a setting actuator 22. A heat insulation seal sleeve 11 is arranged inside the seal short section 9. An unlocking central tube 6 is arranged inside the heat insulation short section 5 and the seal short section 9. One end of the unlocking central tube 6 is threadedly connected with the suspension seal sleeve 2, and the other end of the unlocking central tube 6 is threadedly connected with the heat insulation seal sleeve 11. An annular vacuum heat insulation space is formed between the suspension seal sleeve 2, the heat insulation short section 5, the unlocking central tube 6 and the anti-sticking coupling 7 to reduce the loss of steam injection heat efficiency;
[0020] A high-temperature seal rubber cylinder 10 is sleeved on the outer side surface of the seal short section 9. One end of a pressure transmission pipe 15 is threadedly connected inside the heat insulation seal sleeve 11. The other end of the pressure transmission pipe 15 is connected with a piston joint 27. Pressure transmission holes are arranged on the pressure transmission pipe 15. The piston joint 27 is arranged inside a cylinder block 25. One end of the cylinder block 25 is connected with the setting actuator 22 through a setting cylinder head 23. The other end of the piston joint 27 is connected with a transition short section 29. When pressure enters the working cavities of the cylinder block 25 and the piston joint 27 through the pressure transmission holes of the pressure transmission pipe 15, the setting actuator 22 and the setting cylinder head 23 compress the high-temperature seal rubber cylinder 10 under the action of the pressure and expand to seal on the oil well casing to play a sealing role;
[0021] A limit shear pin 14 is arranged between the seal short section 9 and the heat insulation seal sleeve 11. A releasing shear pin 19 is arranged between the pressure transmission pipe 15 and a fixed seat 18. A setting shear pin 28 is arranged between the cylinder block 25 and the piston joint 27. The limit shear pin 14, the releasing shear pin 19 and the setting shear pin 28 play a temporary limiting role. When the workpiece needs to move under the action of pressure and tensile force, they start to shear within the limit tensile value and lose the limiting effect.
[0022] In order to enable this thermal recovery packer to achieve high-temperature sealing, a high-temperature sealing ring I3 and a high-temperature sealing ring II4 are respectively arranged between the hanging sealing sleeve 2 and the heat insulation short joint 5, a high-temperature sealing ring III8 is arranged between the anti-sticking clamp 7 and the unlocking central tube 6, a high-temperature sealing ring IV12 and a high-temperature sealing ring V13 are arranged between the sealing short joint 9 and the heat insulation sealing sleeve 11, and a high-temperature sealing ring VI24 is arranged between the setting packer cylinder head 23 and the pressure transmission pipe 15.
[0023] To facilitate the shrinkage and release of the high-temperature sealing rubber cylinder 10, one end of the sealing short joint 9 is connected to the fixed seat 18. An unlocking ring 21 is arranged on the outer side surface of the pressure transmission pipe 15. The unlocking ring 21 tightly presses against one side of the fixed seat 18. Bearing balls 20 are installed in the limiting holes of the fixed seat 18. One side of the bearing balls 20 presses against a locking ring 17. A thrust ring 16 is arranged on one side of the locking ring 17. The thrust ring 16 is arranged in the setting packer actuator 22.
[0024] When the high-temperature sealing rubber cylinder 10 needs to shrink, rotate the connection positions of the heat insulation coupling 1, the heat insulation short joint 5 and the anti-sticking clamp 7 to make them disconnected. At the same time, lift the pipe string. The hanging sealing sleeve 2, the heat insulation short joint 5 and the unlocking central tube 6 drive the heat insulation sealing sleeve 11 to move. The heat insulation sealing sleeve 11 drives the pressure transmission pipe 15 to move. The pressure transmission pipe 15 drives the unlocking ring 21 to move. The unlocking ring 21 releases the bearing balls 20 on the fixed seat 18. The bearing balls 20 leave the fixed groove of the locking ring 17. Therefore, the thrust ring 16 and the locking ring 17 lose the fixing effect of the bearing balls 20 and release the compression on the high-temperature sealing rubber cylinder 10 together with the setting packer actuator 22. At the same time, the setting packer cylinder head 23 and the cylinder block 25 also retract synchronously, achieving the purpose of the smooth shrinkage of the high-temperature sealing rubber cylinder 10.
[0025] The present invention can enable the high-temperature sealing rubber cylinder 10 to shrink smoothly when it shrinks and unlocks, avoiding jamming, and greatly improving the convenience of use.
