TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil engineering equipment, in particular to a small-diameter downhole oil pipe cutting device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the downhole oil pipe electric cutting device at home and abroad is 54mm in diameter (outer diameter), and the inner diameter of the commonly used oil pipe in oil fields is mostly 62mm. Due to the influence of the environment (such as salinity, scaling, waxing, deformation, bending, etc.) on the oil pipe in the well, the downhole oil pipe cutting device with an outer diameter of 54mm often encounters resistance and sticking during the downhole process, and the success rate is only about 20-25%, which cannot meet the needs of field construction. In addition, the inner diameter of a part of the oil pipe is 50mm, and the inner diameter of the drill pipe used for oil well overhaul is 53mm. Therefore, the existing 54mm diameter electric cutting device at home and abroad cannot meet the use requirements. The diameter of the existing downhole oil pipe electric cutting device cannot be reduced, mainly because the internal cable occupies space, or a groove is milled on the outer circle of the device. If the internal diameter of the electric cutting device is reduced, the power of the internal motor cannot meet the use requirements, in addition, after the diameter is reduced, the structure size of the feed and retreat cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, the outer diameter size of the existing electric cutting device cannot be reduced, resulting in narrow application range and low working efficiency. Therefore, the existing technology needs to be further improved and improved. SUMMARY
