DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0037] The present application discloses a hanger and a recovery tool for dynamic monitoring of oil fields. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The invention discloses a hanger and a recovery tool for dynamic monitoring of oil fields, comprising a hanger module and a recovery module.

[0038] The suspension module is used to suspend a high-precision electronic temperature and pressure gauge in an oil pipe. The suspension module comprises a hanger body 1, a support arm 2 and a drive member 3.

[0039] The hanger body 1 is designed as a column, with a threaded inner hole 11 at one end for fixing the pressure gauge; the other end is a conical fishing neck 12 for easy grabbing during recovery. A driving slider 13 is axially slidably connected to the hanger body 1, and multiple receiving grooves are opened to accommodate the support arm 2.

[0040] There are two support arms 2, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the hanger body 1. One end of the support arm 2 is hinged to the driving slider 13, and the other end extends outside the hanger body 1. A torsion spring 21 is provided at the hinge, so that the support arm 2 naturally shrinks into the receiving groove when no external force is applied. The left side wall of the receiving groove is set as an inclined surface, and the end of the support arm 2 is rotatably connected to a roller 22

[0041] The driving member 3 includes a push rod 31 and a tension spring 32. The push rod 31 is coaxially slidably connected to the central slide hole 14 of the hanger body 1, and one end is fixedly connected to the driving slider 13. The tension spring 32 is sleeved on the push rod 31, one end is fixed to the driving slider 13, and the other end is fixed to the inside of the hanger body 1. When the tension spring 32 is in a free state, the push rod 31 extends the support arm 2 to the outside of the receiving groove through the driving slider 13, forming a stable support structure.

[0042] The recovery module is used to recover the suspension module together with the pressure gauge from the oil pipe. The recovery module includes an outer tube 6, a fishing claw 61, a push rod 62 and a release member 7.

[0043] A fishing claw 61 is coaxially sleeved at the end of the outer cylinder 6. The fishing claw 61 is made of an elastic material and is used to grasp the fishing neck 12 of the hanger body 1.

[0044] The ejector rod 62 is coaxially and slidably connected inside the outer cylinder 6. One end extends outside the outer cylinder 6, and the other end is coaxially sleeved and fixed with a release pipe. The release member 7 is used to drive the sliding of the ejector rod 62.

[0045] The release member 7 includes an upper joint 71, a helical sleeve 72, a guide pin 73, a release spring 74, a centralizing sleeve 75, and a copper shear pin 76. The upper joint 71 is coaxially sleeved and clamped with the outer cylinder 6. The ejector rod 62 extends into the upper joint 71 and is fixedly connected to the helical sleeve 72. The guide pin 73 is inserted into the upper joint 71 and cooperates with the helical groove 721 on the helical sleeve 72. The release spring 74 is sleeved on the ejector rod 62. One end abuts against the top wall of the outer cylinder 6, and the other end abuts against the end of the release sleeve. One end of the centralizing sleeve 75 is inserted into the release sleeve and fixed by a copper shear pin 76. When the guide pin 73 is hooked in the helical groove 721, the release spring 74 is in a compressed state, and the ejector rod 62 contracts. When the guide pin 73 disengages from the helical groove 721, the release spring 74 drives the ejector rod 62 to slide, and its end is inserted into the hanger body 1 to drive the slider 13, causing the support arm 2 to contract.

[0046] A conical bell mouth 751 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the centralizing sleeve 75 away from the release sleeve. The end of the fishing claw 61 is coaxially fixedly connected with a conical guide sleeve 611 by a pin. The guide sleeve 611 and the bell mouth 751 are used to facilitate the alignment of the central axes of the fishing neck 12 and the centralizing sleeve 75, and further facilitate the insertion of the ejector rod 62 into the first sliding hole to drive the push rod 31 to slide.

[0047] A claw spring 77 is arranged between the fishing claw 61 and the upper joint 71. The claw spring 77 is used to ensure that the fishing claw 61 firmly grasps the fishing neck 12 at the end of the hanger body 1.

[0048] The implementation principle of a hanger and a recovery tool for oilfield dynamic monitoring in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: When the recovery module and the suspension module grasp and recover the pressure gauge:

[0049] Preparation of the recovery module: The fishing claw 61 in the recovery module is in an open state, ready to grasp the fishing neck 12 of the hanger body 1. The release member 7 (such as the helical sleeve 72, the guide pin 73, etc.) is in the initial position, and the ejector rod 62 contracts inside the centralizing sleeve 75.

[0050] Positioning and grasping: The recovery module is lowered to near the hanger. The fishing claw 61 aligns with and firmly grasps the fishing neck 12 of the hanger body 1 through its elastic material and the guiding conical sleeve. The claw spring 77 ensures that the fishing claw 61 firmly grasps the fishing neck 12, and is ready for the recovery operation.

[0051] Driving recovery: By continuously operating the lower recovery module, the release spring 74 is compressed, causing the guide pin 73 to disengage from the spiral groove 721. At this time, the release spring 74 continuously elongates to release energy, thereby pushing the ejector rod 62 to slide forward. The ejector rod 62 is inserted into the hanger body 1 through the release tube, pushing the driving slider 13, causing the support arm 2 to contract back into the receiving groove under the action of the torsion spring 21. At this time, the hanger loses support and is lifted to the ground together with the fishing claw 61 by the recovery module. The retractable support arm 2 also effectively avoids the problem that the traditional hanger cannot be lifted and recovered due to structural limitations, improving the obstacle-crossing ability and working stability of the hanger.

[0052] Separation and data reading: After being recovered to the ground, the release claw 42 is loosened from the hanger body 1 by operating the control member 5, separating the hanger from the pressure gauge. The pressure gauge is taken out and the stored downhole temperature and pressure data are read.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
