TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas well cementing, in particular to a rotatable liner hanger with high mechanical strength. BACKGROUND
[0002] The liner cementing process is the most commonly used method in deep well cementing, which can save casing, has significant economic benefits, can simplify the well structure, improve the axial load conditions of the pipe string and improve the drilling water conditions, and can significantly reduce the annular flow resistance during construction.
[0003] However, the current liner hanger still has the following disadvantages: when the liner hanger is used, the liner and the hanger generally need to be connected manually using special equipment, so that when the liner needs to be connected in a relatively narrow space such as downhole, the liner hanger cannot be quickly adjusted in direction according to different installation clamping positions, which will result in low installation efficiency of the liner and affect subsequent oil and gas well cementing operations.

[0013] 1. Compared with traditional tailpipe hangers, this invention has a driver installed inside the base and a helical gear installed on the output shaft of the driver. When the main pipe is connected to components such as the cover, the helical gear is driven by the rotation of the driver, and the helical gear meshes with the guide gear fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting base. This allows the main pipe to be quickly rotated and adjusted according to the different assembly positions required, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0014] 2. By providing a mounting plate and its internal slots, when the main pipe is connected to the injection tube, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic ring on the inner wall of the injection tube can be used to attract and limit the main pipe. As the mounting base rotates, the slots in the mounting plate match the two inserts fixedly connected to the bottom end of the injection tube. Under the attraction of the magnetic ring, the mounting plate can quickly move upward a certain distance and engage with the two inserts fixedly connected to the bottom end of the injection tube, allowing the device to connect more quickly.
[0015] 3. By providing a bearing seat and mounting plate, when the tailpipe is being assembled, if it is necessary to connect the tailpipe to the drill bit or other instruments, quick assembly and connection can be achieved through the mounting holes pre-drilled in the mounting plate. This enhances the overall mechanical strength of the device and extends its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: In this invention, when cementing an oil and gas well, the components such as drill bits that need to be connected can be connected to the mounting plate 201 located on the outside of the bearing seat 2. The holes of the connected workpieces are aligned with the holes of the mounting holes 202 in the mounting plate 201. Simultaneously, bolts are passed through the mounting holes 202 in the mounting plate 201 to connect and assemble with the drill bits and other workpieces. After assembly, the main pipe 1 can be supported and limited by the bearing seat 2 or other workpieces located at its bottom end, according to actual needs. Then, the side of the cover 403 with the seat 4 fixedly connected is placed downwards.
[0035] Furthermore, when the cover 403 moves downwards, the guide ring 304 fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting base 103 can be inserted into the guide groove 409 at the bottom of the base 4 for assembly. Simultaneously, the helical gears 402 located on the outside of the two drive motors 401 engage with the guide teeth 104 fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting base 103. After assembly, the drive motors 401 mounted on the inner wall of the base 4 can be started synchronously to drive the helical gears 402 to rotate. The engagement of the helical gears 402 with the guide teeth 104 fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting base 103 drives the main pipe 1 to rotate and adjust. After adjustment... After completion, the magnetic ring 408 set on the inner wall of the injection tube 404 can be energized. The magnetic ring 408 generates magnetism after being energized, and attracts and limits the mounting plate 302 fixedly connected to the top surface of the conduit 3. Simultaneously, the mounting base 103 can rotate inside the plane until the position of the slot 303 opened in the mounting plate 302 matches the position of the two inserts 405 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the injection tube 404. After the slot 303 matches the position of the inserts 405, the two inserts 405 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the injection tube 404 can be simultaneously inserted into the interior of the mounting plate 302 for automatic locking and limiting.
[0036] Furthermore, once the clamping limit is completed, the four clamping parts 406 installed on the inner wall of the cover 403 can be activated simultaneously to push the four clamping plates 407 inward. When the four clamping plates 407 move inward under the pushing action of the four clamping parts 406, they can be simultaneously inserted into the internal position of the mounting groove 301 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the conduit 3 until the current conduit 3 is clamped and limited. After the clamping limit is completed, the quick connection operation of the current main pipe 1 and the tail pipe and the accessories connected to the tail pipe can be completed simultaneously, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.
