[0017] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a telescopic downhole connection device, including an inner core 1 of a telescopic rod, one end of the inner core 1 of the telescopic rod is connected to an outer cylinder 2, a telescopic rod body 3 is slidably connected inside the outer cylinder 2, one end of the telescopic rod body 3 is connected to a fixed end 4, a first protective ring 11 and a second protective ring 12 are sleeved outside the inner core 1 of the telescopic rod, a bolt 16 is connected to the first protective ring 11, a groove 17 is formed inside the second protective ring 12, the bolt 16 is externally threaded with a rotating plate 18, the bolt 16 is clamped in the groove 17, and the rotating plate 18 overlaps with the second protective ring 12. By providing the groove 17, when the second protective ring 12 is connected to the first protective ring 11, the bolt 16 above the first protective ring 11 will penetrate the groove 17, so that the groove 17 plays a certain auxiliary role for the second protective ring 12, avoiding the situation that the position of the second protective ring 12 deviates after being connected to the first protective ring 11.

[0018] A spring wire 10 is provided inside the telescopic rod body 3, a first T-shaped sealing ring 5 is connected inside the outer cylinder 2, a second T-shaped sealing ring 15 is connected inside the telescopic rod body 3, a second high-pressure connection plug 13 is connected inside the fixed end 4, and a second locking nut 14 is internally threaded with the second high-pressure connection plug 13. By providing the spring wire 10, the spring wire 10 has strong recovery ability, and the telescopic rod body 3 is made of Inconel718 material, which has strong anti-scouring ability.

[0019] A second O-shaped sealing ring 9 is connected inside the fixed end 4, a first high-pressure connection plug 7 is connected inside the inner core 1 of the telescopic rod, a first locking nut 6 is internally threaded with the first high-pressure connection plug 7, and a first O-shaped sealing ring 8 is connected inside the outer cylinder 2. By providing the first T-shaped sealing ring 5, the first T-shaped sealing ring 5 with strong sealing performance is used for sealing to improve the sealing effect.

[0020] The second high-pressure connection plug 13 is connected to the fixed end 4 through the second locking nut 14, the first high-pressure connection plug 7 is connected to the inner core 1 of the telescopic rod through the first locking nut 6.
