DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 10The downhole filling tool for oil exploitation in the embodiment of the application comprises a sealing element 1 for sealing a section to be filled in an oil well, an activating element 2 arranged on the sealing element 1 and used for activating the sealing element 1, and a removing element 3 arranged at the bottom end of the sealing element 1 and used for removing residual materials on the well wall during upward movement.
[0036] The sealing element 1 comprises an entering pipe 11 for entering the downhole, which is made of high-strength alloy material and has a pipe wall thickness suitable for the high-pressure environment in the downhole, and a hollow channel in the pipe is used for conveying a filling agent; the entering pipe 11 is sleeved with a lower partition plate 12 and an upper partition plate 14, both of which are annular metal plates and have an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the wellbore and a rounded edge to reduce the lowering resistance; the top end of the lower partition plate 12 is fixedly connected with a lower sealing gasket 13 through bolts, and the top end of the upper partition plate 14 is fixedly connected with an upper sealing gasket 15 in the same way; both the lower sealing gasket 13 and the upper sealing gasket 15 are made of oil-resistant rubber material and have a stepped edge to improve the sealing performance after expansion; two groups of feeding grooves 16 are symmetrically arranged at the side end of the entering pipe 11, the grooves are trumpet-shaped, and the position of the grooves is between the lower sealing gasket 13 and the upper partition plate 14, so as to ensure that the filling agent is directly injected into the closed space formed by the two sealing gaskets; two groups of ring grooves 17 are also arranged at the side end of the entering pipe 11 and correspond to the installation positions of the lower partition plate 12 and the upper partition plate 14; the cross section of the ring groove 17 is T-shaped and has a wear-resistant coating; a through groove 18 is arranged through the center of the lower partition plate 12 and the upper partition plate 14; two groups of connecting blocks 19 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner side of the through groove 18; the connecting block 19 is T-shaped and is in sliding connection with the ring groove 17 and can be flexibly moved along the axis of the entering pipe 11; when it is necessary to seal a target well section, the entering pipe 11 is first lowered to the section to be filled; during filling, the filling agent is conveyed to the feeding grooves 16 through the internal channel of the entering pipe 11 by external pumping; the two groups of symmetric grooves make the filling agent uniformly flow into the closed space between the two sealing gaskets; and the pressure is maintained until the filling agent is initially cured after filling.
[0037] The above scheme has the following advantages: the entering pipe 11 made of high-strength alloy material ensures the structural stability of the tool in the deep-well high-pressure environment; the two groups of symmetric feeding grooves 16 ensure the uniform distribution of the filling agent in the closed space and avoid local accumulation; the cooperation of the T-shaped ring groove 17 and the connecting block 19 not only limits the radial displacement of the partition plate but also retains the axial adjustment freedom, thereby improving the operation flexibility; and the stepped edge design of the sealing gasket enhances the sealing fit after pressure expansion and reduces the risk of filling agent leakage.
[0038] The activation piece 2 comprises a top plate 21 fixed with the top end of the upper partition plate 14 by welding, which is forged from wear-resistant alloy steel and has an overall arc shape matching the inner side arc of the counterweight ring 22, a trapezoidal shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom in the front view, and four groups of top plates 21 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the top end of the upper partition plate 14, with rounded edges at the top end to reduce rotational friction. The outer side of the inlet pipe 11 is sleeved with the counterweight ring 22, which is a solid cast iron ring with a weight matching the downhole pressure environment, with a gap between the inner wall and the outer wall of the inlet pipe 11 for sliding. The bottom end is provided with a ring-shaped abutting groove 24 along the circumference, with a width slightly larger than the thickness of the top plate 21. Four groups of downward slots 25 are provided at the top end of the abutting groove 24, which are rectangular slots with a width matching the top plate 21. The outer side of the inlet pipe 11 is sleeved with a sleeve 26, and the inner wall and the outer wall of the inlet pipe 11 are connected by bearings to realize flexible rotation. The bottom end is symmetrically welded with two groups of connecting plates 27, which are arc-shaped steel plates. The bottom end penetrates the through hole of the counterweight ring 22 and is fixed with a pressing plate 29 by welding. The side end of the connecting plate 27 is welded with a synchronization plate 28, which is a ring-shaped steel plate with a diameter smaller than the inner circle diameter formed by the top plate 21 to avoid interference. The synchronization plate 28 is horizontally arranged directly above the upper sealing pad 15. The pressing plate 29 is a ring-shaped plate matching the lower sealing pad 13, with edges aligned with the lower sealing pad 13. Two groups of limiting grooves 23 are symmetrically provided inside the counterweight ring 22, which are rectangular in shape and extend through the upper and lower ends of the counterweight ring 22. The limiting grooves 23 are filled with lubricating grease to reduce friction. Two groups of limiting blocks 210 are welded at the corresponding positions of the side end of the connecting plate 27, which are rectangular steel blocks with a size precisely matching the limiting grooves 23. The limiting blocks 210 are slidably inserted into the limiting grooves 23 and located above the synchronization plate 28 to ensure the stability of the rotation transmission. When the sealing function needs to be activated, the sleeve 26 is first rotated by the ground driving device, and the sleeve 26 drives the two groups of connecting plates 27 to rotate synchronously. Due to the sliding insertion of the limiting blocks 210 and the limiting grooves 23, the counterweight ring 22 rotates synchronously with the connecting plates 27 until the four groups of top plates 21 are precisely aligned with and inserted into the four groups of downward slots 25. At this time, the counterweight ring 22 loses the support of the top plates 21 and slides axially downward along the inlet pipe 11 under the action of its own gravity. The bottom end first contacts the synchronization plate 28 and pushes it downward. The synchronization plate 28 presses the upper sealing pad 15 to make it radially expand. At the same time, the connecting plate 27 drives the pressing plate 29 to move downward synchronously, and the pressing plate 29 presses the lower sealing pad 13 to make it radially expand synchronously. Until the two groups of sealing pads are tightly abutted with the well wall, the sealing activation is completed.
[0039] Adopting the above scheme: through the cooperation of the four groups of uniformly distributed top plates 21 and the downward moving grooves 25, the force balance when the counterweight ring 22 rotates in alignment is ensured, and deviation and jamming are avoided; through the sliding and inserting structure of the limiting blocks 210 and the limiting grooves 23, the synchronous rotation of the sleeve 26 and the counterweight ring 22 is realized, the alignment accuracy is ensured, the gravity of the counterweight ring 22 is used as the driving force, no additional hydraulic device is needed, the structure is simplified and the adaptability to the downhole environment is improved; through the symmetrical distribution design of the synchronous plates 28 and the downward pressing plates 29, the uniform force of the upper sealing gasket 15 and the lower sealing gasket 13 is ensured, and the sealing reliability is improved; through the bearing connection of the sleeve 26 and the entering pipe 11, the rotating resistance is reduced, and the ground operation control is facilitated.

[0042] The working principle of the present application is: during operation, firstly, the downhole filling tool is lowered to the filling section of the oil well by the ground lifting equipment, and in the process of lowering, the lower sealing pad 13 and the upper sealing pad 15 accurately cover the upper and lower boundaries of the filling section, then the sleeve 26 is rotated by the ground driving device, the sleeve 26 rotates relative to the entering pipe 11 through the inner wall bearing, and at the same time, the two groups of connecting plates 27 are synchronously rotated, because the limiting block 210 at the side end of the connecting plate 27 is slidingly inserted into the limiting groove 23 in the inner side of the counterweight ring 22, the counterweight ring 22 rotates synchronously with the connecting plate 27, until the four groups of top plates 21 at the top end of the upper partition plate 14 are accurately aligned with the four groups of downward grooves 25 at the bottom end of the counterweight ring 22 and enter the grooves, at this time, the counterweight ring 22 loses the support of the top plates 21 and moves downward along the entering pipe 11 under the action of its own gravity, and its bottom end pushes the synchronous plate 28 to extrude the upper sealing pad 15, and at the same time, the lower pressing plate 29 is synchronously lowered to extrude the lower sealing pad 13 through the connecting plate 27, so that the two groups of oil-resistant rubber sealing pads expand radially due to the axial pressure, and the stepped edges are tightly attached to the well wall, thereby completing the sealing and reinforcement of the filling section, then the external pumping system is started, the filling agent is transported to the material supplement groove 16 through the hollow channel of the entering pipe 11, the two groups of symmetrically distributed trumpet-shaped notches uniformly guide the filling agent into the closed space between the lower sealing pad 13 and the upper sealing pad 15, and after the filling agent fills the space, the pumping is maintained until the filling agent is initially cured, thereby preliminarily completing the material filling of the filling section, and in the filling process, the filling agent pushes the piston 35 to move downward along the inner wall of the entering pipe 11, drives the fixed plate 34 to slide along the connecting groove 31, and the inverted conical push plate 36 moves downward and extrudes the scraper rod 333 of the material removing piece 33, so that the scraper rod 333 opens outward around the rotating shaft 332 until the top arc surface is completely attached to the well wall, when the filling operation is completed, the ground hydraulic workover rig and the drilling platform turntable are started, the workover rig lifts the tool by the crown block-traveling block pulley block, and the drilling platform turntable rotates the entering pipe 11 at a high speed through the kelly driving, the scraper rod 333 is scraped by the combined motion of the rotating arc surface and the upward operation, and the residual filling agent and mud cake attached to the well wall are scraped, in the cleaning process, the PLC system controls the lifting speed and the rotating speed in linkage to ensure that the scraping is uniform and complete, after the operation is completed, the pressure of the filling agent is released, the scraper rod 333 is reset under the action of the torsional spring, and the whole tool is recovered to the ground.The two groups of symmetrically distributed trumpet-shaped supplemental grooves 16 ensure uniform distribution of the filler in the closed space, avoiding local accumulation leading to incomplete filling. The stepped edge design of the sealing pad allows it to expand under pressure and form multiple sealing contacts with the well wall, significantly reducing the risk of filler leakage and ensuring the sealing reliability of the filling section. The weight ring 22 of the activating member 2 is designed for gravity-driven activation, eliminating the need for additional hydraulic or electric devices to activate the sealing pad expansion. This simplifies the downhole structure and reduces the probability of failure in high temperature and high pressure environments. The four evenly distributed top plates 21 cooperate with the downward moving grooves 25, combined with the guiding effect of the limiting block 210 and the limiting groove 23, to ensure that the weight ring 22 is balanced when rotating in alignment, avoiding skewing and jamming. The symmetric distribution of the synchronization plate 28 and the pressing plate 29 ensures uniform stress on the sealing pad, allowing them to expand synchronously and adhere to the well wall, improving the stability and efficiency of sealing activation and reducing manual operation errors. By removing the inverted conical push plate 36 of the removal member 3 and the transmission structure of the removal member 33, the opening angle of the scraper 333 changes linearly with the pressure of the filler, allowing it to adapt to the well diameter range. The stepped sealing design of the piston 35 ensures that the pressure is not leaked and transmitted, ensuring reliable adhesion of the scraper 333 to the well wall. Multiple circumferentially distributed removal members 33 cooperate with the linkage control of the ground lifting equipment and the drilling platform turntable, allowing the scraper 333 to perform full circumferential cleaning of the well wall in a combined rotation and upward movement, avoiding residual material falling and blocking the wellbore. At the same time, the design of the scraper 333 top arc surface and the torsional spring improves the efficiency of removing hard formation residues and automatically resets after cleaning, reducing the risk of jamming during tool recovery.
