[0003] When placing or salvaging a downhole choke, a steel wire needs to be lowered into the well for construction. When the choke is in the wellbore, it is affected by sand settling, which may cause sand and gravel blockage between the core shaft and the outer center pipe, and between the shear pin seat and the upper well cap, thereby affecting the normal sealing and unsealing of the choke. Utility Model Content

[0025] An upper well cap 5 is sleeved on the outside of the salvage neck 2, and the upper well cap 5 is inserted into the upper end of the upper slip seat 10. A fixing screw 6 is passed between the upper well cap 5 and the upper slip seat 10. A second sealing ring 29 is provided between the upper well cap 5 and the salvage neck 2.

[0030] Working process:
[0031] The choke is connected to the wire rope through the hand-release joint 1 and lowered into the wellbore. When the choke is lowered to the predetermined position, the wire rope winch brakes suddenly, the mandrel 7 does not move, and the lower rubber cylinder seat 17, the sealing rubber cylinder 15, the upper rubber cylinder seat 14 and the lower slip seat 13 on the mandrel 7 remain unchanged through the locking ring 19. The fishing neck 2, the upper well cap 5, the shear nail seat 9 and the upper slip seat 10 slide down as a whole under the action of inertia. This inertial force is sufficient to make the upper slip seat 10 and the lower slip seat 13 cooperate with each other to open the multiple slips 12 so that the slips 12 are engaged with the inner wall of the wellbore; after the slips 12 are engaged with the inner wall of the wellbore, the slips 12, the upper slip seat 10 and the lower slip seat 13 remain in place, the wire rope is lifted, the core shaft 7 moves up with the wire rope, and a relative displacement occurs between the core shaft 7 and the outer center tube 11. During the upward movement of the core shaft 7, the lower rubber cylinder seat 17 is driven to move up through the locking ring 19, and the lower rubber cylinder seat 17 squeezes and deforms the sealing rubber cylinder 15 to complete the sealing.
[0032] When the pulling force of the wire rope on the release joint 1 is large enough, the release pin 3 is disconnected, the release joint 1 is separated from the core shaft 7, the throttle remains in the wellbore to work, and the wire rope takes the release joint 1 out of the wellbore.
[0033] When the throttle is salvaged, the salvage tool is connected to the salvage neck 2 and the salvage tool is jarred upward to cut off the unsealing shear nail 8. After the lower end of the salvage neck 2 is offset from the front end of the outer center tube 11, the outer center tube 11 can slide down along the core shaft 7. When the outer center tube 11 slides downward, the lower slip seat 13 can be driven to slide downward, thereby unblocking the slip 12 and releasing the contact between the slip 12 and the inner wall of the oil pipe.
