In the working process of the utility model, the casing positioning body 1 is sleeved on the casing, and the casing positioning body 1 positions the casing, which solves the problem that the existing positioner is easy to bend and cannot position the casing. The support wing 2 is spirally arranged on the outer wall of the casing positioning body 1. The support wing 2 can smoothly enter the well wall with the casing and play a role in centering the casing. The casing positioning body 1 is moved up and down along the well wall through the rolling structure 4. When the rolling structure 4 contacts the well wall, the rolling structure 4 rotates and drives the sand retaining structure 6 to rotate along the sand retaining groove 5. The mud and sand attached to the wall of the rolling structure 4 are cleared by the sand retaining structure 6. The sand retaining structure 6 solves the problem of the casing being stuck when entering the well wall.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in the present invention, a pressure ring 7 is further included, and the pressure ring 7 is arranged on the end surface of the fixed structure 3, and the pressure ring 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed structure 3, and the pressure ring 7 presses the sand retaining structure 6 to make the sand retaining structure 6 close to the rolling structure 4.
