Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of oil casing threads, and particularly relates to a special thread structure which can improve the processing yield rate. Background Art
[0002] In the research and development of special thread structures, both air tightness and thread connection strength must be ensured. However, during the CNC machining process, due to factors such as the ovality of the pipe, structural design, and the non-straightness of the pipe end, the turning from the pipe end to the full top thread Lc is not thorough, and there are a large number of "black buckles". According to the API 5B standard, "black buckles" are not allowed to exist after the complete thread machining of the pipe end connection part, because the existence of "black buckles" directly affects the connection strength of the joint, and in severe cases, the casing will break and fall into the well, causing oilfield quality accidents or even safety accidents. In the mass production process of oil casing, the existence of "black buckles" causes the product scrap rate to be too high, the processing is difficult, and the yield rate is only 50%, which seriously affects production efficiency and product benefits.
[0003] At present, Chinese patent ZL 20090045683.7 "Thickened oil pipe capable of improving the processing yield rate of connecting threads" increases the radial size of the connecting threads, and uses the increased outer diameter to compensate for the incomplete cutting threads caused by insufficient roundness or non-straightness of the pipe end, thereby avoiding the generation of black buckles. However, this method requires increasing the outer diameter of the oil pipe, and only ensures the reduction of "black buckles", but does not explain whether the oil pipe can still ensure the airtight seal and the connection strength of the threads after the "black buckles" are reduced. An additional pipe end heating and roughening process is added, which reduces the processing efficiency of the oil pipe and increases the production cost. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a special thread structure that can improve the processing yield rate. By designing a special thread sealing surface and a large chamfered polygonal thread section, the position of the mid-diameter point of the internal and external threads is changed, which can not only ensure the connection strength of the oil casing in complex oil and gas wells, but also ensure its airtight performance; without changing the external geometric dimensions of the pipe blank, the generation of "black buckles" is controlled, the quality of CNC processing and production efficiency are improved, and the one-time pass rate of CNC processing is increased from 50% to more than 90%, thereby reducing production costs.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: a special thread structure that can improve the processing yield rate, including an external thread located at the front end of the pipe body and an internal thread located at the front end of the coupling, the cross-sectional shapes of the external thread and the internal thread are both large chamfered polygons, the angle of the guide surface of the cross-sectional area of the external thread and the internal thread is 45°, the angle of the bearing surface of the cross-sectional area of the external thread and the internal thread is -3°, and the front end of the external thread and the rear end of the internal thread are respectively provided with matching sealing surfaces and shoulders.
[0006] The sealing surface includes a spherical surface and a conical surface connected in sequence, the radius of the spherical surface is 5-10 mm, and the angle between the conical surface and the horizontal plane is 14°.
[0007] A gap of 0.1 to 0.2 mm is provided at the tooth height and tooth width of the matching external thread and internal thread.
[0008] The end of the tube body is provided with a conical necking, and the angle of the conical necking is 5°.
[0009] The mid-diameter point of the external thread is the first mid-diameter point, and the diameter of the tube body at the first mid-diameter point is reduced by 0.2-0.3 mm.
[0010] The mid-diameter point of the internal thread is the second mid-diameter point, and the diameter of the coupling at the second mid-diameter point is reduced by 0.2-0.3 mm.
[0011] The technical effect of the utility model is that: the utility model changes the mid-diameter point positions of the internal and external threads through the design of special thread sealing surfaces and large chamfered polygonal thread sections, which can not only ensure the connection strength of the oil casing in complex oil and gas wells, but also ensure its gas sealing performance; without changing the external geometric dimensions of the tube blank, the generation of "black buckles" is controlled, the quality of CNC machining and production efficiency are improved, the one-time pass rate of CNC machining is increased from 50% to more than 90%, and the production cost is reduced.
