[0010] Furthermore, the number of the rotating grooves is equal to the number of the connecting rods, and the positions correspond one to one. The connecting rods are located inside the rotating grooves, and the width of the rotating grooves is adapted to the outer diameter of the connecting rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of the fracturing pipes is no less than two and is evenly distributed on the outside of the fracturing device.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of the nozzles is no less than two, and two form a group, and are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the guide tube.

The proppant will flow out from the other end of the oil flow pipe 3 and flow to the connection between the oil flow pipe 3 and the horizontal wellbore 2, thereby preventing the horizontal wellbore 2 from collapsing. A partition mechanism 4 is provided inside the oil flow pipe 3 to separate the fracturing positions so as to perform multi-stage fracturing. A fracturing mechanism 5 is provided inside the oil flow pipe 3 to improve the efficiency of oil production. A connecting pipe 6 is provided inside the oil flow pipe 3.

[0029] The inner diameter of the horizontal well 2 is matched with the inner diameter of the oil outlet pipe 3, and the right side of the horizontal well 2 is closed to prevent leakage during oil production.

[0030] See also Figure 2 In order to separate the fracturing positions so as to perform multi-stage fracturing, the partition mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a partition block 401 provided inside the oil outlet pipe 3, a first magnetic member 402 is fixed to the left side of the partition block 401, and a sealing ring 403 is fixed to the outside of the partition block 401 to improve the sealing of the partition, a limiting plate 404 is fixed to the right inner wall of the partition block 401, and a stabilizing component is provided inside the partition block 401.

[0031] In this example, the length and width of the partition block 401 are both smaller than the inner diameter of the oil outlet pipe 3, and the outer diameter of the sealing ring 403 is equal to the inner diameter of the oil outlet pipe 3, which improves the sealing performance. A fixed block is fixed to the left side of the limit plate 404, and a sliding rod is fixed to the lower surface of the fixed block. There are three sliding rods, which are symmetrically distributed around the center axis of the limit plate 404. Fixed blocks are fixed at both ends of each sliding rod.

[0032] It should be noted that the stabilizing component includes a motor 405 fixed to the inner wall of the left side of the partition block 401, and the output shaft of the motor 405 is fixed with a turntable 406, and the output shaft of the motor 405 drives the turntable 406 to rotate, and a rotation groove 407 is provided on the right side of the turntable 406, and the turntable 406 drives the rotation groove 407 to rotate, and the outer side of the slide rod is slidably connected to the slider, and a connecting rod 408 is fixed to the left side of the slider, and the other end of the connecting rod 408 passes through and extends to the left side of the turntable 406, and the rotation of the rotation groove 407 drives the connecting rod 408 to move outward, and a support rod 409 is fixed to the outer side of the connecting rod 408, and the connecting rod 408 drives the support rod 409 to move, and the other end of the support rod 409 passes through and extends to the outside of the partition block 401, and is fixed with a stabilizing block 410, and the support rod 409 carries The dynamic stabilizing block 410 moves to support the partition block 401 and the oil outlet pipe 3, thereby preventing the partition block 401 from moving and fixing the partition block 401 in this position. Two support rods 409 are fixed to the outside of each connecting rod 408, and are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the central axis of the stabilizing block 410. The two support rods 409 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the turntable 406. The number of rotating grooves 407 is equal to the number of connecting rods 408, and the positions correspond one to one. The connecting rod 408 is located inside the rotating groove 407, and the width of the rotating groove 407 is adapted to the outer diameter of the connecting rod 408. When the connecting rod 408 moves, it drives the slider to move, and the slider slides on the outside of the slide rod, thereby limiting and supporting the moving trajectory of the connecting rod 408, so that the connecting rod 408 maintains the specified moving trajectory.

[0033] See also Figure 3To improve the efficiency of oil production, the fracturing mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a fracturing device 501 fixed to the outside of the connecting pipe 6. The outside of the fracturing device 501 is connected to a fracturing pipe 502. The fracturing device 501 releases pressure through the fracturing pipe 502, thereby creating cracks in the oil flow pipe 3 and the oilfield body 1. The right side of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to a guide pipe 503. The outside of the guide pipe 503 is connected to a nozzle 504. A fracturing agent is injected into the connecting pipe 6. After the fracturing agent enters the guide pipe 503, the nozzle 504 discharges the fracturing agent, allowing the fracturing agent to enter the crack, creating cracks deep in the crack to facilitate oil production. A second magnetic member 505 is fixed to the right side of the guide pipe 503. When the second magnetic member 505 is energized, it attracts the first magnetic member 402 to drive the partition block 401 to move. For example, the first magnetic member 402 is an iron sheet, and the second magnetic member 505 is an electromagnet.

[0034] In this example, the number of fracturing pipes 502 is no less than two, and they are evenly distributed on the outside of the fracturing device 501. The number of nozzles 504 is no less than two, and two are grouped together, and are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the guide tube 503, so as to evenly fracture the inner side of the horizontal well 2.

[0035] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0036] (1) First, the exploration drill bit is drilled into the oil field body 1, and a horizontal well 2 is drilled inside the oil field body 1. Then, the drill bit is taken out and the oil outlet pipe 3 is extended into the horizontal well 2. Proppant is injected into the oil outlet pipe 3. The proppant will flow out from the other end of the oil outlet pipe 3 and flow to the connection between the oil outlet pipe 3 and the horizontal well 2, thereby preventing the horizontal well 2 from collapsing. At this time, the fracturing equipment is passed into the oil outlet pipe 3, and after the partition block 401 is moved to a position, the second magnetic attraction member 505 is powered off. After the second magnetic attraction member 505 is powered off, the magnetic force is lost, so that the partition block 401 and the guide pipe 503 are disconnected.

[0037] (2) After the partition block 401 is disconnected from the guide tube 503, the motor 405 is turned on, and the output shaft of the motor 405 drives the turntable 406 to rotate, and the turntable 406 drives the rotating groove 407 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating groove 407 drives the connecting rod 408 to move outward, and the connecting rod 408 drives the supporting rod 409 to move, and the supporting rod 409 drives the stabilizing block 410 to move, thereby supporting the partition block 401 and the oil outlet pipe 3, thereby preventing the partition block 401 from moving and fixing the partition block 401 in this position. At this time, the fracturing device 501 is turned on, The fracturing device 501 releases the pressure through the fracturing pipe 502, thereby causing cracks in the oil flow pipe 3 and the oil field body 1. At this time, a fracturing agent is injected into the connecting pipe 6. After the fracturing agent enters the guide pipe 503, the nozzle 504 passes the fracturing agent out, allowing the fracturing agent to enter the crack, causing cracks to appear deep in the crack to facilitate oil production. After this stage of fracturing is completed, the second magnetic component 505 is energized to attract the first magnetic component 402 and drive the partition block 401 to move to the next fracturing position, thereby completing multi-stage fracturing.
