[0019] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0020] Embodiment 1:
[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, where Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a centralizer for oil drilling, Figure 2 is the front view of the centralizer for oil drilling. The present utility model provides a centralizer for oil drilling, which includes a centralizer body 101 and an auxiliary device. The centralizer body 101 has a first connection portion 1011 and a second connection portion 1012. The auxiliary device includes a centralizing edge 102, rolling balls 103, and scraping blades 104. Discharge grooves 105 are formed between the centralizing edges 102. Through the foregoing solution, the wear between the centralizer body 101 and the wellbore can be reduced during use, the service life during drilling can be improved, and the use cost can be reduced. It can be understood that the foregoing solution can improve the service life of the centralizer body 101 during drilling and reduce the use cost.
[0022] In this embodiment, the centralizer body 101 has a first connection portion 1011 and a second connection portion 1012. The first connection portion 1011 is located on the upper side of the centralizer body 101, and the second connection portion 1012 is located on the lower side of the centralizer body 101. During connection and installation, the centralizer body 101 is arranged in the middle of the drilling string through the first connection portion 1011 and the second connection portion 1012.
[0023] Among them, the centralizing edges 102 are annularly welded on the outer side of the centralizer body 101, and the number is six, with an interval of 60° between each other. The rolling balls 103 are arranged on the upper side of the centralizing edges 102, and the scraping blades 104 are welded on the lower side of the centralizing edges 102; the centralizing edges 102 are annularly welded on the outer side of the centralizer body 101, and six are arranged during setting, with an interval of 60° between each two. The centralizing edges 102 are used for centralizing and guiding. The rolling balls 103 are arranged at intervals in the mounting holes above the centralizing edges 102, and the scraping blades 104 are welded on the lower side of the centralizing edges 102.
[0024] Discharge grooves 105 are formed between the centralizing edges 102. After the centralizing edges 102 are arranged, the discharge grooves 105 are formed in the middle between each two, which facilitates the discharge of mud and water.
[0025] Secondly, the aligning edge 102 has a shuttle-like structure, and a cemented carbide material is brazed on its surface by using the PIA plasma spray welding technology. The aligning edge 102 having a shuttle-like structure can reduce the resistance generated by mud impurities to the aligning edge 102 during movement. The surface of the aligning edge 102 is brazed with a cemented carbide material by using the PIA plasma spray welding technology. The plasma spraying technology uses a DC-driven plasma arc as a heat source to heat materials such as ceramics, alloys, and metals to a molten or semi-molten state and spray them at a high speed onto the surface of a pre-treated workpiece to form a firmly adhered surface layer. Cemented carbide has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Especially its high hardness and wear resistance remain basically unchanged even at a temperature of 500°C and still have a very high hardness at 1000°C. Therefore, by brazing a cemented carbide material on the surface of the aligning edge 102 using the PIA plasma spray welding technology, the hardness, strength, and wear resistance of the aligning edge 102 can be improved, which is beneficial to extending its service life.
[0026] Then, the rolling ball 103 is made of a cemented carbide material, and the rolling ball 103 is 5 mm higher than the end face of the aligning edge 102. The rolling ball 103 is made of a cemented carbide material. Since cemented carbide has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Especially its high hardness and wear resistance remain basically unchanged even at a temperature of 500°C and still have a very high hardness at 1000°C. Therefore, the hardness, strength, and wear resistance of the rolling ball 103 can be improved, which is beneficial to extending its service life. The rolling ball 103 is 5 mm higher than the end face of the aligning edge 102. This structure enables the wellbore wall to directly make multi-point rolling contact with the rolling ball 103, which is beneficial to reducing the frictional force between the centralizer body 101 and the wellbore wall.
[0027] Finally, the cutting edge part of the scraping blade 104 is 5 mm higher than the end face of the aligning edge. The cutting edge part of the scraping blade 104 is 5 mm higher than the end face of the aligning edge 102. This spacing is the same as the spacing of the rolling ball 103 higher than the aligning edge 102. Therefore, during use, the wellbore wall can be rotationally trimmed by the scraping blade 104, which is beneficial to achieving good rolling contact between the wellbore wall and the rolling ball 103.
[0028] When using the present utility model, it can reduce the wear between the centralizer body 101 and the wellbore during use, improve the service life during drilling, and reduce the use cost. During use, first, the centralizer body 101 is arranged in the middle of the drilling string through the first connecting portion 1011 and the second connecting portion 1012. Then, by directly arranging a plurality of the rolling balls 103, the surface sliding friction between the centralizer body 101 and the wellbore can be transformed into point rolling friction, which is beneficial to reducing the friction force and wear. At the same time, by arranging the scraping blade 104, the wellbore can be scraped and trimmed, which will further facilitate the rolling cooperation between the rolling balls 103 and the wellbore, and further realize reducing the wear between the centralizer body 101 and the wellbore during use, improving the service life during drilling, and reducing the use cost.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, wherein Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a centralizer for oil drilling. On the basis of the first embodiment, the present utility model provides a centralizer for oil drilling. A clamping groove 201 is arranged on the first connecting portion 1011. The clamping grooves 201 are arranged in an annular array on the outer side of the first connecting portion 1011, with an interval of 60° between each other. When the clamping grooves 201 are arranged, they do not penetrate the first connecting portion 1011 and are arranged in an annular array on the first connecting portion 1011.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the first connecting portion 1011 is installed, if the clamping groove 201 is not arranged, at this time, the first connecting portion 1011 will be clamped and rotated by a pipe wrench. By arranging the clamping groove 201, when the first connecting portion 1011 is connected to the pipe string, it can be directly clamped and rotated by a special hook wrench, increasing the operation method during installation and facilitating selective installation during use.
[0032] The above-disclosed are only one or more preferred embodiments of the present application, and the scope of rights of the present application cannot be limited thereby. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand all or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiments, and the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
