[0021] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0023] In the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations such as "upper" and "lower" are generally in the directions shown in the drawings, or in the vertical, perpendicular or gravitational directions; however, the above orientation terms are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 - 2 , a tubing centralizer, the two ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the tubing. The tubing centralizer and the tubing are slidably connected within the casing, and it includes: an intermediate body 1; a plurality of centralizing support plates 2 arranged on the outer side of the intermediate body 1, the plurality of centralizing support plates 2 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the intermediate body 1, and the angle between every two centralizing support plates 2 is the same; tubing nipples 3 arranged at both ends of the intermediate body 1; and tubing couplings 4 fixedly connected to the tubing nipples 3.
[0025] In this embodiment, the centralizing support plates 2 are arranged in three. On the one hand, it can realize filling the casing through the centralizing support plates 2 to support the tubing and prevent eccentric wear. On the other hand, arranging three can save installation space.
[0026] As Figure 2 shown, the cross-section of the centralizing support plate 2 can be set as an arc, and slopes 5 can be provided at both ends. The side of the centralizing support plate 2 that is slidably connected to the casing is an arc, which can effectively reduce the wear between it and the casing. The design of the slopes 5 can save a part of the space compared with the design without slopes, so that it is easier to install the tubing centralizer into the casing.
[0027] To ensure stability, in this embodiment, the inner side of the centralizing support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the intermediate body 1. To not affect the normal up-and-down reciprocating movement of the tubing, in this embodiment, the outer side of the centralizing support plate 2 is slidably connected to the inner side of the casing.
[0028] To facilitate the transportation of petroleum, the intermediate body 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure, the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1 is the same as the inner diameter of the tubing, and the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1 is the same as the inner diameter of the tubing nipple 3. If the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1 and the inner diameter of the tubing nipple 3 are smaller than the inner diameter of the tubing, there may be a phenomenon of pipe bursting due to too fast oil velocity. If the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1 and the inner diameter of the tubing nipple 3 are larger than the tubing, it may increase the cost investment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1 is set to be the same as the inner diameter of the tubing.
[0029] The two ends of the tubing coupling 4 are respectively connected to the tubing and the tubing nipple 3. The tubing centralizer is connected between two tubings. The first port 6 of the tubing coupling 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tubing nipple 3, and the second port 7 of the tubing coupling 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tubing. The outer diameter of the tubing nipple 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the intermediate body 1. With such a setting, it can play a limiting role on the tubing coupling 4, effectively preventing the tubing coupling 4 from moving from the tubing nipple 3 to the intermediate body 1, and improving the reliability of the connection.
[0030] The following content specifically describes the present tubing centralizer in combination with the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the tubing centralizer includes an intermediate body 1; the intermediate body 1 is in the shape of a hollow cylinder in the middle, and a plurality of centralizing support plates 2 are connected to the outer side wall of the intermediate body 1. Specifically, three centralizing support plates 2 are provided. On the one hand, it can save costs and space, and on the other hand, it can achieve the filling of the casing, that is, the gap between the centralizing support plate 2 and the casing is very small. With such a setting, after the tubing centralizer is connected to the tubing, it can effectively prevent the tubing from moving laterally within a large range in the casing, resulting in eccentric wear, so as to extend the service life of the tubing and the casing. Both ends of the intermediate body 1 are provided with tubing nipples 3. The inner diameter of the tubing nipple 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1, and the inner diameter of the intermediate body 1 is the same as the inner diameter of the tubing, which can facilitate oil transportation, effectively prevent pipe explosion, and save cost investment. One end of the tubing coupling 4 is connected to the tubing nipple 3, and the other end of the tubing coupling 4 is connected to the tubing. The outer diameter of the tubing nipple 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the intermediate body 1, which can effectively prevent the end of the tubing coupling 4 connected to the tubing nipple 3 from sliding onto the intermediate body 1, ensuring the stability of the connection structure. After the tubing is connected to the tubing centralizer, it is installed in the casing.
[0031] It can be understood that the same or similar parts in the above embodiments can be referred to each other. The content not detailed in some embodiments can be seen in the same or similar content of other embodiments. The multiple solutions provided by the present invention include the basic solutions of themselves, which are independent of each other and do not restrict each other. However, they can also be combined with each other without conflict to achieve the co-realization of multiple effects.
