DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0022] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.

[0023] An adjustable sliding sleeve suitable for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes an outer sleeve 1 and an inner sleeve 3 slidably connected thereto, a plurality of groups of fracturing holes 2 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the outer sleeve 1, and a convex ring 16 is fixed at one end of the inner sleeve 3;

[0024] A fixed cylinder 4 is arranged inside the inner sliding sleeve 3, a screw rod 7 is rotatably connected inside the fixed cylinder 4, an adjustment frame 8 is movably connected outside the screw rod 7, support arms 9 are rotatably connected to the four corners of the outer side of the adjustment frame 8, and the ends of the four groups of support arms 9 are rotatably connected to the adjustment arms 10, and the ends of the adjustment arms 10 are rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder 4 through a rotating shaft;

[0025] A hollow shaft motor 5 is installed inside the fixed cylinder 4, an output shaft 6 is fixed to the output end of the hollow shaft motor 5, and one end of the output shaft 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod 7;

[0026] Under the action of the multiple groups of support arms 9, the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 are passively flipped open along the rotating shaft at the end thereof, and the diameter of the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 after opening is larger than the inner diameter of the convex ring 16, and the convex ring 16 can be driven to move by the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 when the fixed cylinder 4 moves axially as a whole;

[0027] Thus, the convex ring 16 drives the inner sleeve 3 to move axially relative to the outer sleeve 1, and at this time, the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2 on the outer wall of the outer sleeve 1 are opened, and then the fracturing fluid enters the rock through the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2 to perform fracturing operations, and the overall use effect is good and can be used continuously;

[0028] A vent pipe 13 is fixed inside the fixed cylinder 4, and one end of the vent pipe 13 passes through the support cylinder 11, the screw rod 7, the output shaft 6 and the hollow shaft motor 5 in sequence. A blocking air bag 14 located on one side of the fixed cylinder 4 is fixed at the end of the vent pipe 13;

[0029] At this time, the blocking airbag 14 located at one end of the fixed tube expands and expands under the action of the ventilation tube 13, and then the expanded blocking airbag 14 can seal the inner wall of the outer casing 1, and then the fracturing fluid that subsequently enters the inner part of the outer casing 1 can only be discharged through the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2, thereby ensuring the overall fracturing quality and effect of the rock.

[0030] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support tube 11 extending into the interior of the fixed tube 4 is fixed at one end of the screw rod 7, and the support tube 11 and the fixed tube 4 are movably connected via a bearing 12. The utility model sets the above structure, wherein the cooperation of the support tube 11 and the bearing 12 makes the rotation process of the screw rod 7 more stable and avoids the occurrence of deviation.

[0031] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 An elastic cover 15 located outside the multiple groups of support arms 9 and the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 is fixed on the outside of the fixed cylinder 4. By setting the above structure, the utility model can expand the elastic cover 15 as the support arms 9 and the adjustment arms 10 are unfolded, thereby protecting the support arms 9 and the adjustment arms 10 and preventing the fracturing fluid from entering the interior of the fixed cylinder 4.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is: when in use, the power is turned on, and under the action of external drilling equipment, multiple sets of outer casings connected end to end are driven to perform horizontal drilling operations on rocks, wherein multiple sets of outer casings and inner sliding sleeves are connected end to end in sequence;

[0033] When the overall drilling is completed, when the inner sleeve 3 needs to be adjusted and opened, it is only necessary to send the fixed cylinder 4 to the inner side of the corresponding inner sleeve 3 under the action of external equipment, wherein a sensor can be used for induction detection, so that the fixed cylinder 4 can be accurately moved to the inner side position of each group of inner sleeves 3 under the action of external driving equipment;

[0034] Then the hollow shaft motor 5 starts to drive the screw rod 7 to rotate, and then the screw rod 7 rotates to drive the adjustment frame 8 to move axially, so that the adjustment frame 8 drives the multiple groups of support arms 9 to unfold;

[0035] Under the action of the multiple groups of support arms 9, the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 are passively flipped open along the rotating shaft at the end thereof, and the diameter of the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 after opening is larger than the inner diameter of the convex ring 16, and the convex ring 16 can be driven to move by the multiple groups of adjustment arms 10 when the fixed cylinder 4 moves axially as a whole;

[0036] Thus, the convex ring 16 drives the inner sleeve 3 to move axially relative to the outer sleeve 1, and at this time, the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2 on the outer wall of the outer sleeve 1 are opened, and then the fracturing fluid enters the rock through the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2 to perform fracturing operations, and the overall use effect is good and can be used continuously;

[0037] Furthermore, when the multiple groups of adjusting arms 10 are unfolded to drive the inner sleeve 3 to break away from the closure of the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2, the sealing airbag 14 located at one end of the fixed tube expands and expands under the action of the ventilation tube 13, and then the expanded sealing airbag 14 can seal the inner wall of the outer casing 1, and then the fracturing fluid that subsequently enters the inner wall of the outer casing 1 can only be discharged through the multiple groups of fracturing holes 2, thereby ensuring the overall fracturing quality and effect of the rock.

The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiments without creative contributions as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the utility model.
