[0017] The utility model can be salvaged expansion pipe reinforcement device adopts φ118mm*5mm middle cross-over pipe, φ114mm*7mm upper expansion pipe body 3 and lower expansion pipe body 4, φ108mm upper expansion cone 5 and lower expansion cone 6, rubber sealing ring I21 and rubber sealing ring II22 with thickness of 1mm-1.5mm (the thickness of the rubber ring can be adjusted as needed), and the upper expansion pipe body 3 and the lower expansion pipe body 4 each cover the casing damaged section of at least 4m.

[0018] When the utility model is used for on-site construction of the salvageable expansion pipe reinforcement device, first, according to the different wall thicknesses of the casing, a φ120mm or φ122mm milling cone is lowered, and the well is milled and cleared to 10m below the patching section. After the milling channel is qualified, a well clearing gauge is lowered to clear the well. After the well clearing gauge passes smoothly and unobstructed, the device is lowered to the well section that needs to be patched and repaired with an oil pipe (or drill pipe). On the ground, a high-pressure pump is used to pressurize the oil pipe (or drill pipe), and the water pressure enters the pressure channel Ⅰ17 and the pressure channel Ⅱ18, and flows out from the pressure outlet hole Ⅰ19 and the pressure outlet hole Ⅱ20.

Stop the grinding and milling. After the grinding and milling is completed, salvage the middle jump pipe 1. Since the middle jump pipe 1 and the lower expandable pipe body 4 are threadedly connected, the middle jump pipe 1 can be taken out by turning it upside down with a tool, and then the Ф120 special flat-bottomed grinding shoe is lowered to determine the exact position of the lower end of the lower expandable pipe body 4. Mark it during grinding and milling. After grinding and milling without resistance, stop grinding and milling, lift and lower the pipe column to ensure that the grinding and milling are completed, and remove the tool.
