[0039] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0041] Embodiment

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-10 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a tool for wellhead device test and its use method, including a bottom ring plate 1, a long strip groove belt 101 is provided on the surface of the bottom ring plate 1, and the ring plate connecting block 201 can slide in the long strip groove belt 101, so as to drive the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202 to move, realizing the change and rotation of different angles of the hydraulic clamping mechanism 2. The hydraulic clamping mechanism 2 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom ring plate 1, and the fixed clamping mechanism 3 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom ring plate 1;

[0043] The hydraulic clamping mechanism 2 includes a ring plate connecting block 201 disposed on the bottom surface of the bottom ring plate 1. The top surface of the ring plate connecting block 201 is fixedly installed with a hydraulic cylinder barrel 202. A hydraulic control pipeline connector 207 is disposed on the side surface of the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202. Through the connection between the hydraulic system connection port and the hydraulic control pipeline connector 207, the piston rod 203 is driven to move inside the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202, thereby adjusting the position of the jaw 4 and controlling the forward and backward movement stroke of the piston rod 203. The change in the stroke can achieve clamping of flanges with different diameter specifications. The hydraulic cylinder barrel 202 and the hydraulic cylinder gland 204 are fixed by fixing screws 206. The fixing screws 206 are evenly distributed on the surface of the hydraulic cylinder gland 204. By rotating the fixing screws 206, the tightening degree of the connection can be adjusted to meet different fixing requirements. Moreover, the fixing screws 206 can maintain the stability of the connection under vibration and impact, effectively preventing the components from loosening. At the same time, the production cost of the fixing screws 206 is low, reducing the use cost. The piston rod 203 is disposed inside the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202, and the end of the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder gland 204. Sealing rings 205 are disposed at both ends of the piston rod 203 away from the jaw 4 and the front end of the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202. The shape of the sealing ring 205 is O-shaped. The O-shaped sealing ring 205 can improve the sealing effect between the piston rod 203 and the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202, avoiding affecting the movement stroke of the piston rod 203 inside the hydraulic cylinder barrel 202 due to poor sealing performance;

[0044] The fixed clamping mechanism 3 is mainly composed of a retaining block 301 located on the top of the bottom ring plate 1. A connecting rod 302 is embedded inside the retaining block 301. The two are precisely docked through alignment positioning holes 303 opened on the side and the surface. To enhance the structural stability and adjustment flexibility, a positioning pin 304 is inserted into the positioning hole 303, and a tension spring 305 is assembled on its outer surface, forming an elastic fixing mechanism. The two ends of the tension spring 305 are firmly connected to the side surface of the retaining block 301 and the surface of the pull plate 306 respectively, and the pull plate 306 is fixed to the outer end of the positioning pin 304. Such a design is not only convenient for operation but also can provide additional pulling force or adjustment space when needed. In a conventional operation scenario, only one hydraulic clamping mechanism 2 and the fixed clamping mechanism 3 working together can meet the requirements. However, in the face of flanges with a larger diameter or higher clamping force requirements, the system design allows for flexible additional configuration to use two hydraulic clamping mechanisms 2 and the fixed clamping mechanism 3 jointly to adapt to the fastening requirements under different working conditions and ensure the safety and efficiency of the operation;

[0045] One end of the piston rod 203 and one end of the connecting rod 302 are both provided with slip teeth 4. The slip teeth 4 and the piston rod 203, and the connecting rod 302 are fixedly connected by bolts 5 respectively. The specification of the bolt 5 is M30. The inner surface of the slip teeth 4 is coated with anti-slip coating, which can increase the anti-slip effect of the slip teeth 4 and avoid slipping during the clamping and fixing process, thus affecting the normal use.

[0046] Working principle: The usage method of a tool for wellhead device test includes the following steps:

[0047] S1. First, place the device at the sealing positions of the sealing bushing, the casing mandrel hanger, the tubing head and the casing head housing, and connect the cylinder barrel 202 of the hydraulic cylinder to the hydraulic system connection port through the hydraulic control pipeline connector 207;

[0048] S2. Control the forward and backward movement stroke of the piston rod 203 through the hydraulic system. The change of the forward and backward stroke of the piston rod 203 can realize clamping of flanges with different diameter specifications. Slide the ring plate connecting block 201 inside the long slot belt 101 to realize changes and rotations at different angles;

[0049] S3. When the diameter of the clamped flange is larger or a greater clamping force is required, two hydraulic clamping mechanisms 2 and the fixed clamping mechanism 3 can be used in cooperation as the case may be;

[0050] S4. Then pull the pull plate 306. The pull plate 306 pulls the tension spring 305 outwards, so that the positioning pin 304 disengages from the positioning hole 303, and adjust the position of the connecting rod 302. Under the automatic restoration of the tension spring 305, the adjusted positioning pin 304 is driven to be fixed in the positioning hole 303 to clamp and fix the other side of the flange. Then, the sealing connection of the sealing bushing, the casing mandrel hanger, the tubing head and the casing head housing can be carried out.

[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution content of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
