[0038] It should be noted that the utility model is a bidirectional high-temperature and high-pressure permanent packer. After the device is assembled, it reaches a state of being set and waiting for activation. The upper joint 1 and its pressure transmission hole, the first sealing ring 18 and the second sealing ring 19 installed in the sealing ring groove inside the piston cylinder 17, the first sealing retaining ring 20 and the second sealing retaining ring 21 installed in the sealing ring groove on the outer surface of the core shaft 14, the piston cylinder 17, and the core shaft 14 form a seal and a first-stage setting piston area. The core shaft 14 and its pressure transmission hole, the piston body 16, the third sealing ring 30 and the fourth sealing ring 32 installed in the sealing ring groove on the inner surface of the piston body 16, and the first sealing ring 20 and the second sealing ring 21 installed in the sealing ring groove on the outer surface of the piston body 16 are sealed. A second-stage sealing piston area is formed between the third sealing retainer ring 31 and the fourth sealing retainer ring 33 and the lower joint 15; the two-stage sealing areas are connected to the internal area of ​​the packer through the pressure transmission hole. The sealing process of the packer can be activated by applying hydraulic pressure to the inside of the packer. The packer is lowered into a casing suitable for sealing according to the normal lowering procedure and smoothly lowered to the designated position in the well. After completing the relevant pre-activation procedures, hydraulic pressure can be applied to the inside of the packer to activate the sealing. First, liquid pressure is applied inside the upper joint 1 and the core shaft 14, and the hydraulic pressure is transmitted to the piston cavity through the pressure transmission hole on the upper joint 1. When the pressure reaches the breaking pressure of the sealing shear screw 27, the piston cylinder 17. The piston body 16 pushes the connecting sleeve 13, the slip push cylinder 12, the second lower slip 3, the inner slip 6, and the lower cone 4 to move to the left. When the pressure is greater than the breaking value of the shear screw body 26, the lower cone 4 will push the first sealing support ring 7, the second sealing support ring 8, the first sealing ring 5, the second sealing ring 9, the third sealing ring 10 and the fourth sealing ring 11 to move to the left and compress. When the pressure is greater than the breaking value of the shear screw body 26 on the upper cone 4, the upper cone 4 will squeeze the first upper slip 2. The first upper slip 2 will open outward along the oblique cone surface direction of the upper cone 4 and the oblique cone surface at the contact position with the upper joint 1 until it contacts the inner wall of the casing. When the pressure reaches the second slip After the breaking value of the fixing screw 25 is reached, the second lower slip 3 will also open along the oblique cone surface of the lower cone 4 until it contacts the casing, and the internal liquid pressure of the upper joint 1 and the core shaft 14 will continue to increase until the first sealing support ring 7 and the second sealing support ring 8 and the first sealing ring 5, the second sealing ring 9, the third sealing ring 10 and the fourth sealing ring 11 are completely compressed. Finally, the first upper slip 2 and the second lower slip 3 tightly bite the casing under the bidirectional support of the cone 4, the oblique cone surface of the upper joint 1 and the oblique cone surface of the slip push tube 12, while maintaining the first sealing support ring 7, the second sealing support ring 8 and the first sealing ring 5, the second sealing ring 9, the third sealing ring 10 and the fourth sealing ring 11 in a fully compressed state;A seal is formed between the upper joint 1, the piston cylinder 17 and the core shaft 14, and a second-stage setting piston area is formed between the core shaft 14 and the lower joint 15. The two-stage setting areas are connected to the internal area of ​​the packer through the upper joint 1. It is only necessary to apply hydraulic pressure to the inside of the packer to activate the setting process of the packer. The double piston design is more conducive to the setting of the packer; the meshing structure of the inner slip 6 itself, the slip push cylinder 12 and the upper joint 1 only allows one-way sliding to the left. During the sliding to the left, the special structure of the inner slip 6 can be opened in a limited space, and at the same time combined with the two, and fixed by screws to prevent it from rotating. The unique anti-retraction design of the inner slip 6 provides double protection for maintaining the setting state of the packer. ;
