[0034] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. It can be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the application, and are not a limitation on the application.
[0035] In order to make the drawing simple, only the parts related to the application are shown in each drawing, which does not represent the actual structure of the product.

[0039] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] As Figures 1-10As shown, it shows a side tracking well liner hanging cementing device in an embodiment of the present application, in some examples, the upper joint 1, the body 2, the lower joint 3 and the pressure building assembly 4 are connected in turn in the side tracking well liner hanging cementing device, the body 2 is sealingly connected with the expansion sleeve 5 outside the periphery, and the hydraulic cavity 6 is formed between the two. The liquid inlet hole groove 21 and the liquid outlet hole groove 22 on the body 2 are distributed up and down, respectively, to communicate the internal passage 23 of the body 2 with the hydraulic cavity 6, and the pressure building assembly 4 controls the opening or closure of the liquid inlet hole groove 21. The expansion seat 24 and the guide rod 25 are arranged in the hydraulic cavity 6. The guide rod 25 is arranged on the body 2 in the axial direction, and the expansion seat 24 is sleeved on the guide rod 25. When the pressure building assembly 4 opens the liquid inlet hole groove 21, the liquid in the internal passage 23 enters the hydraulic cavity 6 through the liquid inlet hole groove 21, the pressure in the hydraulic cavity 6 rises to push the expansion seat 24 to move downward, and the downward moving expansion seat 24 extrudes the inner wall of the expansion sleeve 5, so that the expansion sleeve 5 expands outward and is connected to the outer sleeve; after the expansion seat 24 moves downward through the liquid outlet hole groove 22, the liquid is discharged from the liquid outlet hole groove 22, the sitting and hanging are completed, then the guide rod 25 is moved upward, the expansion seat 24 moves upward synchronously, and the liquid outlet hole groove 22 is blocked again, so that the material in the internal passage 23 does not leak into the hydraulic cavity 6 to corrode and damage the expansion sleeve 5. The design principle is to adjust the pressure change in the hydraulic cavity 6 through the pressure building assembly 4, drive the expansion seat 24 to move, realize the connection of the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer sleeve and the blocking of the liquid outlet hole groove 22, and the working process is to connect the expansion sleeve 5 by first entering the liquid through the liquid inlet hole groove 21 to make the expansion seat 24 move downward, and then to block the liquid outlet hole groove 22 by moving the expansion seat 24 upward through the guide rod 25.
[0041] The advantages of such arrangement are: by arranging the liquid inlet hole groove 21 and the liquid outlet hole groove 22, the communication control between the internal passage 23 and the hydraulic cavity 6 is realized, the opening and closure of the liquid inlet hole groove 21 by the pressure building assembly 4 provides a controllable pressure source for the hydraulic cavity 6. The cooperation of the expansion seat 24 and the guide rod 25 enables the expansion seat 24 to move downward to extrude the expansion sleeve 5 to realize the connection with the outer sleeve, and to move upward with the guide rod 25 to block the liquid outlet hole groove 22, so that the two functions are realized by different movement states of the same component, simplifying the overall structure. The arrangement of the hydraulic cavity 6 provides a closed space for the movement of the expansion seat 24, ensures the effectiveness of pressure transmission, ensures the stability of the extrusion force of the expansion seat 24 on the expansion sleeve 5, and further ensures the reliability of the connection between the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer sleeve, and the blocking of the liquid outlet hole groove 22 avoids the leakage of the liquid in the hydraulic cavity 6, maintaining the stability of the connection between the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer sleeve.
[0042] As Figures 1-10As shown in FIG. 1, which shows a side-tracking well liner hanging cementing device in an embodiment of the present application, in some examples, the bottom of the guide rod 25 is provided with a limiting ring part 251, which is located below the drainage hole groove 22. When the expansion seat 24 moves downward, the limiting ring part 251 blocks the expansion seat 24 from continuing to move downward, limiting the downward movement range of the expansion seat 24; when the guide rod 25 moves upward, the limiting ring part 251 moves upward synchronously, driving the expansion seat 24, which is sleeved on the guide rod 25, to move upward. The design principle is to use the position setting of the limiting ring part 251 to mechanically limit the downward movement of the expansion seat 24, and at the same time, through the contact between the limiting ring part 251 and the expansion seat 24, the upward movement of the guide rod 25 is transmitted to the expansion seat 24, and the working process is that the expansion seat 24 stops after moving downward to contact the limiting ring part 251, and the expansion seat 24 is driven to move upward by the limiting ring part 251 when the guide rod 25 moves upward.
[0043] The advantage of such a setting is that the limiting ring part 251 limits the downward movement range of the expansion seat 24, and at the same time, the limiting ring part 251 transmits the upward movement of the guide rod 25 to the expansion seat 24, ensuring that the expansion seat 24 can reliably follow the guide rod 25 to move upward to block the drainage hole groove 22, without the need for additional transmission structure, enhancing the synchronization and reliability of the movement of the expansion seat 24, and further ensuring the effectiveness of the drainage hole groove 22 blocking.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, which shows a side-tracking well liner hanging cementing device in an embodiment of the present application, in some examples, the bottom of the guide rod 25 is provided with a limiting ring part 251, which is located below the drainage hole groove 22. When the expansion seat 24 moves downward, the limiting ring part 251 blocks the expansion seat 24 from continuing to move downward, limiting the downward movement range of the expansion seat 24; when the guide rod 25 moves upward, the limiting ring part 251 moves upward synchronously, driving the expansion seat 24, which is sleeved on the guide rod 25, to move upward. The design principle is to use the position setting of the limiting ring part 251 to mechanically limit the downward movement of the expansion seat 24, and at the same time, through the contact between the limiting ring part 251 and the expansion seat 24, the upward movement of the guide rod 25 is transmitted to the expansion seat 24, and the working process is that the expansion seat 24 stops after moving downward to contact the limiting ring part 251, and the expansion seat 24 is driven to move upward by the limiting ring part 251 when the guide rod 25 moves upward. Figures 1-10 As shown in FIG. 1, which shows a side-tracking well liner hanging cementing device in an embodiment of the present application, in some examples, the bottom of the guide rod 25 is provided with a limiting ring part 251, which is located below the drainage hole groove 22. When the expansion seat 24 moves downward, the limiting ring part 251 blocks the expansion seat 24 from continuing to move downward, limiting the downward movement range of the expansion seat 24; when the guide rod 25 moves upward, the limiting ring part 251 moves upward synchronously, driving the expansion seat 24, which is sleeved on the guide rod 25, to move upward. The design principle is to use the position setting of the limiting ring part 251 to mechanically limit the downward movement of the expansion seat 24, and at the same time, through the contact between the limiting ring part 251 and the expansion seat 24, the upward movement of the guide rod 25 is transmitted to the expansion seat 24, and the working process is that the expansion seat 24 stops after moving downward to contact the limiting ring part 251, and the expansion seat 24 is driven to move upward by the limiting ring part 251 when the guide rod 25 moves upward.
[0045] The advantage of such arrangement is that the spherical surface of the annular holder 42 matches the outer contour of the ball plug 41, ensuring the sealing effect after the ball plug 41 is attached to the annular holder 42, avoiding liquid leakage from the gap between them, and ensuring that the pressure in the internal channel 23 can be effectively transmitted to the hydraulic cavity 6. The elastic member one 43 provides a restoring force for the annular holder 42, so that the annular holder 42 can automatically close the liquid inlet hole groove 21 after the ball plug 41 is removed, without the need for additional operation, simplifying the operation process. The annular base 44 provides stable support for the elastic member one 43, ensuring stable output of the elastic force of the elastic member one 43, making the movement of the annular holder 42 more reliable, and thus ensuring the stability of the opening and closing of the liquid inlet hole groove 21.
[0046] As shown in Figures 1-10 Fig. 1 shows a side tracking well liner hanging cementing device in an embodiment of the present application. In some examples, the guide rod 25 has an axially extending tooth portion one 252, the annular holder 42 of the pressure building assembly 4 has a radially through mounting hole 421, the mounting hole 421 is provided with a linkage assembly 7, the linkage assembly 7 includes a plug rod 71, a reversing gear 72, a driving rod 73 and an elastic member two 74, the reversing gear 72 is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole 421, the plug rod 71 and the driving rod 73 are radially movably arranged in the mounting hole 421, and are located on both sides of the reversing gear 72 and meshed with the reversing gear 72, and the elastic member two 74 acts on the plug rod 71 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 421 at both ends. Initially, the elastic member one 43 pushes the annular holder 42 upward, the elastic member two 74 pushes the plug rod 71 to extend, and the tooth portion two 711 meshes with the tooth portion one 252; after the ball is thrown, the ball plug 41 presses the annular holder 42 and the driving rod 73, the tooth portion three 731 of the driving rod 73 meshes with the reversing gear 72, driving the plug rod 71 to retract, the tooth portion two 711 is disengaged from the tooth portion one 252, and the liquid inlet hole groove 21 is opened; after the ball plug 41 is removed, the elastic member one 43 pushes the annular holder 42 upward, the elastic member two 74 pushes the plug rod 71 to extend, and the tooth portion two 711 reengages with the tooth portion one 252, the annular holder 42 drives the guide rod 25 to move upward through the cooperation of the plug rod 71 and the tooth portion of the guide rod 25, and then the expansion seat 24 moves upward to block the liquid outlet hole groove 22. The design principle is to use gear transmission to realize the reverse motion of the plug rod 71 and the driving rod 73, and to transfer the upward movement of the annular holder 42 to the guide rod 25 through the meshing of the tooth portions, and the working process is that the plug rod 71 is disengaged from the meshing by the driving rod 73 when the ball is thrown, and the plug rod 71 meshes with the guide rod 25 and drives it to move upward after the ball is removed.
[0047] The advantage of such arrangement is that the insertion rod 71 and the driving rod 73 are matched by the reversing gear 72 to realize the reverse movement of both, so that the downward pressing action of the ball plug 41 can be synchronized to release the engagement of the insertion rod 71 and the guiding rod 25, avoiding the hindering of the guiding rod 25 to the downward movement of the annular clamping seat 42. The elastic member two 74 ensures that the insertion rod 71 can be reliably engaged with the toothed portion one 252 of the guiding rod 25 without external force, so that the guiding rod 25 can be synchronously moved upward by the insertion rod 71 when the annular clamping seat 42 moves upward, realizing the linkage of the annular clamping seat 42 and the guiding rod 25, ensuring that the expansion seat 24 can accurately move upward to block the drainage hole groove 22, and the cooperation of multiple components enhances the synergy of the structure and the reliability of the movement.
[0048] As shown in Figures 1-10 , which shows a side tracking well liner hanging cementing device in an embodiment of the present application. In some examples, the device body 2 has an axially extending limiting groove 26, the top end of the guiding rod 25 extends into the limiting groove 26, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 26 is provided with an elastic fin 261 extending obliquely upward to the axial center side. The top end of the guiding rod 25 has a clamping groove 253 corresponding to the elastic fin 261. When the guiding rod 25 moves upward, the top end pushes the elastic fin 261 to deform. When the guiding rod 25 continues to move upward to the position where the clamping groove 253 corresponds to the elastic fin 261, the elastic fin 261 is snapped into the clamping groove 253 to lock the axial position of the guiding rod 25. The design principle is to realize the axial locking of the guiding rod 25 after moving upward by the elastic deformation of the elastic fin 261 and the cooperation of the clamping groove 253. The working process is to lock by making the elastic fin 261 snap into the clamping groove 253 when the guiding rod 25 moves upward.
[0049] The advantage of such arrangement is that the cooperation of the elastic fin 261 and the clamping groove 253 can lock the axial position of the guiding rod 25 after moving upward to the predetermined position, preventing the guiding rod 25 from moving downward due to external force or hydraulic pressure change, ensuring the continuous blocking of the expansion seat 24 to the drainage hole groove 22, and avoiding the loosening of the connection between the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer sleeve caused by the downward movement of the expansion seat 24, thereby enhancing the stability of the working state of the overall structure. The limiting groove 26 provides movement space and guidance for the top end of the guiding rod 25, ensuring the stability of the upward movement of the guiding rod 25, so that the elastic fin 261 and the clamping groove 253 can be accurately matched.
[0050] As shown in Figures 1-10Figure 2 shows a sidetrack liner suspension cementing device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In some examples, the bellows 45 of the pressure-building assembly 4 is connected between the annular holder 42 and the annular base 44, enclosing the elastic member 1 43. As the annular holder 42 moves up and down, the bellows 45 expands and contracts with it, consistently isolating the elastic member 1 43 from the liquid in the internal passage 23. The design principle utilizes the elasticity of the bellows 45 to isolate the elastic member 1 43 from the liquid without affecting the movement of the annular holder 42. The process is as follows: the movement of the annular holder 42 drives the bellows 45 to expand and contract, continuously maintaining isolation of the elastic member 1 43.
[0051] This arrangement offers the following advantages: the corrugated hose 45 isolates the elastic member 1 43 from the liquid in the internal passage 23, preventing impurities in the liquid from entering the elastic member 1 43 and potentially affecting its elastic properties or causing it to become stuck. This ensures that the elastic member 1 43 can consistently output elastic force, ensuring the proper resetting of the annular retainer 42. Furthermore, the elasticity of the corrugated hose 45 accommodates the vertical movement of the annular retainer 42 without affecting the normal operation of the pressure-building assembly 4, extending the service life of the elastic member 1 43 and improving the reliability of the pressure-building assembly 4.
[0052] like Figures 1-10 Figure 2 shows a sidetracking liner suspension cementing device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In some examples, multiple inlet slots 21 and outlet slots 22 are circumferentially distributed along the body 2. Multiple inlet slots 21 simultaneously direct liquid from the internal channel 23 into the hydraulic chamber 6, while multiple outlet slots 22 simultaneously connect the hydraulic chamber 6 with the internal channel 23. The design principle is to increase the number of liquid circulation paths through the multiple circumferentially distributed slots. Liquid rapidly enters the hydraulic chamber 6 through the multiple inlet slots 21 or is discharged through the multiple outlet slots 22.
[0053] The advantages of this arrangement are: the multiple liquid inlet slots 21 accelerate the rate at which liquid enters the hydraulic chamber 6, rapidly increasing the pressure within the hydraulic chamber 6, shortening the response time for the downward movement of the expansion seat 24, and improving the efficiency of the connection between the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer casing. The multiple liquid drainage slots 22 increase the number of channels for liquid discharge, allowing the liquid in the hydraulic chamber 6 to be quickly discharged, preventing poor drainage from affecting the movement of the expansion seat 24. Furthermore, the circumferential distribution of the multiple slots ensures more uniform pressure across the hydraulic chamber 6, ensuring more uniform compression of the expansion sleeve 5 by the expansion seat 24 and enhancing the strength of the connection between the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer casing.
[0054] like Figures 1-10As shown, a sidetracking liner suspension cementing device according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. In some examples, multiple guide rods 25 and pressure-building assemblies 4 are correspondingly distributed along the circumference of the device body 2. Each pressure-building assembly 4 independently controls the corresponding guide rod 25, and the expansion seats 24 on the multiple guide rods 25 jointly act on the inner circumferential wall of the expansion casing 5. The design principle is to achieve multi-point action on the expansion casing 5 through multiple groups of circumferentially distributed guide rods 25 and pressure-building assemblies 4. The working process is that multiple pressure-building assemblies 4 are activated synchronously, driving the corresponding guide rods 25 and expansion seats 24 to move, jointly completing the connection of the expansion casing 5 and the sealing of the drainage hole 22.
[0055] The advantages of such a setting are: the circumferential distribution of multiple guide rods 25 and pressure-building components 4 makes the squeezing force of the expansion seat 24 on the expansion sleeve 5 more uniform along the circumference, avoiding excessive or insufficient local force on the expansion sleeve 5, and ensuring that the connection between the expansion sleeve 5 and the outer sleeve is tighter and more stable. The setting of multiple groups of components enhances the redundancy of the structure. Even if individual components fail, the remaining components can still maintain the basic functions of the device, thereby improving the reliability of the device. At the same time, multiple pressure-building components 4 work synchronously, making the movement of the guide rods 25 more synchronous, ensuring that the corresponding drainage hole slots 22 can be blocked at the same time when the expansion seat 24 moves upward, thereby improving the coordination of the overall structure.
[0056] like Figures 1-10 FIG. 1 shows a sidetrack liner suspension cementing device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In some examples, an annular groove 51 is formed on the top of the inner circumferential wall of the expansion casing 5, and an annular recess 422 corresponding to the annular groove 51 is formed on the expansion seat 24. In the initial state, the expansion seat 24 is located at the top of the expansion casing 5, and the annular recess 422 is aligned with the annular groove 51, providing a positioning mechanism for the expansion seat 24 and the expansion casing 5.
