Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of threaded joints, and in particular relates to an oil and casing threaded joint. Background Art

[0002] There are two main types of threaded joints for oil and casing currently used in the oil extraction industry, namely API standard threaded joints and non-API standard threaded joints (special threaded joints).

[0003] API standard threaded joint is the most commonly used threaded joint at present. Its connection forms have two thread profiles: round thread and trapezoidal thread. Because of its simple structure, long promotion time and wide application range.

[0004] API thread features:

[0005] API round thread joint: good sealing performance, the connection strength is only 60-80% of the pipe body strength.

[0006] API partial trapezoidal thread joint: The connection strength is high and can be consistent with the strength of the pipe body, but the sealing performance is poor and lower than that of round thread.

[0007] With the development of the oil extraction industry, API threaded joints are increasingly unable to meet the technical requirements of the oil extraction industry. The oil and casing production industry has developed non-API standard threaded joints (special threaded joints) that can meet the technical requirements of different well conditions. The main structural form of special threaded joints is: pipe end sealing surface + trapezoidal thread connection. The sealing performance and connection strength of this joint form can reach the performance of the pipe body. However, its disadvantages are high processing accuracy requirements, fine requirements for downhole operations, high production costs and use costs, and it is not suitable for large-scale promotion. Utility Model Content

[0008] The utility model aims to provide an oil and casing threaded joint to solve the problems that the existing API round thread has low connection strength, the trapezoidal thread has poor sealing performance and cannot meet the technical requirements of the oil production industry.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0010] An oil and casing threaded joint comprises a coupling and a pipe body, wherein the outer side of the end of the pipe body is provided with an external thread, and the inner two ends of the coupling are provided with internal threads, and the pipe body and the coupling are threadedly connected via the external thread of the pipe body and the internal thread of the coupling, the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is 0-5°, the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is 40-60°, the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread is 0-5°, the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread is 40-60°, the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is the same as the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread, and the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is the same as the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread.

[0011] Furthermore, a pipe end cylinder is provided at the end of the pipe body, and a round hole column and a shoulder matched with the pipe end cylinder are provided on the inner side of the coupling.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. In the utility model, the angle of the bearing surface of the round thread tooth type is improved. The bearing surface and guide surface angles of the traditional API round thread are both 30°. The bearing surface angles of the tooth type of the internal and external threads in the utility model are 0-5°, and the guide surface angles are 40-60°, which eliminates the possibility of slipping of the threaded connection due to the large bearing surface angle of the API round thread, while retaining the advantages of good sealing performance of the round thread. At the same time, the connection diameter of the end tooth bottom of the traditional API round thread is smaller than the outer diameter of the pipe body, and the end tooth bottom diameter of the external thread connection of the pipe body is changed to be larger than the outer diameter of the pipe body, so that the strength of the pipe body thread connection is consistent with the strength of the pipe body from the design point of view. After the machine is tightened, the inner diameter of the inner thread connection tooth bottom of the coupling exceeds the outer diameter of the pipe body, which structurally ensures that the connection strength of the coupling is consistent with the pipe body after being connected to the pipe body, solving the problems of low connection strength of the existing API round thread and poor sealing performance of the trapezoidal thread, which cannot meet the technical requirements of the oil extraction industry.

[0014] 2. In the utility model, the shoulder of the coupling makes the inner diameter of the pipe body in a continuous transition state, eliminating the discontinuous transition state of the inner diameter of the API round thread joint connection, so that the threaded joint has the excellent sealing performance of the round thread and the pipe body connection strength of the partial trapezoidal thread.

[0031] An oil and casing threaded joint comprises a coupling and a pipe body, wherein the outer side of the end of the pipe body is provided with an external thread, and the inner two ends of the coupling are provided with internal threads, and the pipe body and the coupling are threadedly connected via the external thread of the pipe body and the internal thread of the coupling, the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is 0-5°, the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is 40-60°, the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread is 0-5°, the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread is 40-60°, the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is the same as the guide surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread, and the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the external thread is the same as the bearing surface angle of the tooth profile of the internal thread.
