Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a centralizer technology, in particular to a ball centralizer with high hardness. Background Art
[0002] The centralizer is also called the guide centralizer. The guide centralizer refers to the rigid and elastic centralizing frame installed on the outer surface of the casing to ensure that the lowered casing string is located in the center of the wellbore during oil and gas drilling.
[0003] Existing ball centralizers are usually rigid ball centralizers during use. After long-term use, the wear rate is high and it cannot be used in a high-hardness environment. In the face of a high-hardness environment, the rigid centralizer will experience a more violent collision, thereby reducing the service life of the centralizer.

[0005] In view of the problems in the related art, the utility model proposes a ball centralizer with high hardness to overcome the above technical problems existing in the existing related art.
[0006] To this end, the specific technical solutions adopted by the utility model are as follows:
[0007] A ball centralizer with high hardness comprises a centralizer body, a sleeve assembly, a flexible sleeve and a rigid sleeve. The sleeve assemblies are arranged at both ends of the centralizer body, the flexible sleeve is arranged on the outer surface of the centralizer body, and the rigid sleeve is arranged on one side of the flexible sleeve.
[0008] The flexible sleeve includes an upper tube, a braided belt and a lower tube. The upper tube is arranged on the outer surface of the centralizer body, one end of the braided belt is fixedly connected to the upper tube, and the other end of the braided belt is fixedly connected to the lower tube. The lower tube is arranged on the outer surface of the centralizer body.
[0009] The utility model further describes: the rigid sleeve includes an outer shell, a straightening bar and a ball bearing, the outer shell is arranged on the outer surface of the straightening device body, the straightening bar is arranged on the outer surface of the outer shell, the straightening bar is provided with a mounting groove, and the ball bearing is arranged in the mounting groove on the straightening bar.
[0010] The utility model further describes: the casing assembly includes a casing and a pulley, the casing is arranged at both ends of the centralizer body, a groove is arranged on the inner side of the casing, and the pulley is arranged in the groove on the inner side of the casing.
[0011] The utility model further illustrates that: outer tubes are arranged at both ends of the centralizer body, and a threaded sleeve is arranged on one side of the outer tube.
[0012] The utility model further illustrates that a threaded sleeve is arranged on the inner side of the sleeve, and one end of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer tube.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by providing a braided belt, one end of the braided belt is fixedly connected to the upper tube, and the other end of the braided bag is fixedly connected to the lower tube. When the centralizer is working, the braided belt supports the external environment and reduces direct contact with the centralizer, thereby reducing the loss between the surface of the centralizer and the external environment, and at the same time can provide flexible support in the face of high hardness environments.
[0014] By providing a straightening bar, the straightening bar is arranged on the outer surface of the shell, and the straightening bar is provided with an installation groove for installing the ball. When facing a high hardness environment, a single flexible casing cannot meet the working requirements of the high hardness environment. After being supported by the flexible casing, the rigid casing provides rigid support for the straightening device, so that when the straightening device is working, the oil pipe will not bend due to the high hardness environment. At the same time, the flexible casing can reduce the contact time between the rigid casing and the high hardness environment, thereby extending the service life of the ball.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a ball centralizer with high hardness is provided.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the ball centralizer with high hardness according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises a centralizer body 1, a sleeve assembly 2, a flexible sleeve 3 and a rigid sleeve 4, the sleeve assembly 2 is arranged at both ends of the centralizer body 1, the flexible sleeve 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the centralizer body 1, and the rigid sleeve 4 is arranged on one side of the flexible sleeve 3;
[0025] The flexible sleeve 3 includes an upper tube 31, a braided belt 32 and a lower tube 33. The upper tube 31 is arranged on the outer surface of the centralizer body 1. One end of the braided belt 32 is fixedly connected to the upper tube 31, and the other end of the braided belt 32 is fixedly connected to the lower tube 33. The lower tube 33 is arranged on the outer surface of the centralizer body 1. One end of the braided belt 32 is fixedly connected to the upper tube 31, and the other end of the braided bag 32 is fixedly connected to the lower tube 33. When the centralizer is working, the braided belt 32 supports the external environment, reduces direct contact with the centralizer, thereby reducing the loss between the surface of the centralizer and the external environment, and can provide flexible support in the face of high hardness environment.
[0026] The rigid casing 4 includes an outer shell 41, a straightening bar 42 and a ball 43. The outer shell 41 is arranged on the outer surface of the straightening device body 1, the straightening bar 42 is arranged on the outer surface of the outer shell 41, a mounting groove is arranged on the straightening bar 42, and the ball 43 is arranged in the mounting groove on the straightening bar 42. The straightening bar 42 is arranged on the outer surface of the outer shell 41, and a mounting groove for installing the ball 43 is arranged on the straightening bar 42. When facing a high-hardness environment, a single flexible casing 3 cannot meet the work of the high-hardness environment. After being supported by the flexible casing 3, the rigid casing 4 plays a rigid support for the straightening device, so that when the straightening device is working, the oil pipe will not be bent due to the high-hardness environment. At the same time, the flexible casing 3 can reduce the contact time of the rigid casing 4 with the high-hardness environment and extend the service life of the ball 43.

[0029] In actual application, one end of the braided belt 32 is fixedly connected to the upper tube 31, and the other end of the braided bag 32 is fixedly connected to the lower tube 33. When the centralizer is working, the braided belt 32 supports the external environment and reduces direct contact with the centralizer, thereby reducing the loss between the surface of the centralizer and the external environment. At the same time, it can play a flexible support in the face of a high hardness environment. The centralizer bar 42 is arranged on the outer surface of the outer shell 41, and a mounting groove for installing the ball 43 is provided on the centralizer bar 42.
