[0002] With the extension of the oilfield exploitation time, wax jamming often occurs in oil wells with serious wax deposition, which not only affects the production of oil wells, but also the casing must be waxed during downhole operations. The paraffin scraper with the application number 201721060887.9 discloses a paraffin scraper body, the paraffin scraper body has a paraffin scraping head, the paraffin scraping head has a plurality of pointed heads, and the pointed heads face downwards. In this way, during the downward movement of the oil well paraffin scraper, the pointed heads of the paraffin scraping head first contact the paraffin below. Since the contact area between the pointed heads of the paraffin scraping head and the paraffin is small, the downward pressure can be more concentrated on a smaller area, and the paraffin in the smaller area can be removed, so that the oil well paraffin scraper can continue to move downward and remove wax.

[0003] When the existing downhole operation rotary paraffin scraper is in use, due to the different specifications of well pipes, the paraffin scraper often does not fit. An oversized paraffin scraper will damage the well pipe, and an undersized paraffin scraper often fails to clean thoroughly.
