AI Technical Summary
During the assembly of oil underground tools, the O-ring is easily squeezed and damaged, resulting in reduced seal reliability and may even lead to the inability to disassemble the male and female joints, increasing economic losses and operating risks.
The double groove support ring sealing structure is adopted, including several sealing grooves and sealing units on the outer wall of the male joint. The sealing unit is composed of a first single groove support ring, a second single groove support ring, a first O-ring, a second O-ring and a double groove support ring. By setting a double groove support ring between the first O-ring and the second O-ring, friction forces are avoided to squeeze the sealing gap and protect the O-ring from being squeezed.
It effectively avoids the problem of O-ring being squeezed during assembly, ensures the seal reliability of O-ring in high-temperature and high-pressure wells, prevents tools from being scrapped, and reduces economic losses and operating risks.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sealing devices, and particularly relates to a double-groove support ring sealing structure. Background Art
[0002] The O-ring sealing structure is a commonly used sealing structure for downhole tools in oil fields. In the application of high-temperature and high-pressure wells, the existing mature structures are: single-groove support ring + O-ring + single-groove support ring, which is commonly used in liquid sealing and the sealing parts of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pipe string; single-groove support ring + O-ring + O-ring + single-groove support ring, which is commonly used in gas sealing and the air cavity sealing parts that bear absolute pressure on the pipe string. When there are two or more sealing structures on the male and female connectors, the frictional resistance is relatively large during the assembly process. During the process of knocking the male connector into the sealing surface of the female connector, in the single-groove support ring + O-ring + O-ring + single-groove support ring sealing structure, the O-ring is easily squeezed into the sealing gap, resulting in phenomena such as being squeezed and broken or squeezed and damaged, which not only affects the sealing reliability, but even may cause the male and female connectors to be unable to be disassembled, leading to the scrapping of the tool, bringing certain economic losses to the oil field and a relatively high risk of operation failure.
