Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of threaded joints, in particular to a high-torsion-resistant air-sealed threaded joint. Background Art

[0002] The drill pipe threaded connection plays a crucial role in the entire drill string and is also the weakest point in the entire drill string. According to ISO 11961 and API Spec 5DP, the torsional strength ratio between the threaded connection and the pipe body is generally set at 0.8 or above. However, in actual drilling, excessive torsional strength often leads to failure. As drilling depths in Chinese oil fields increase, the mud and gas pressures applied to the drill string increase, leading to frequent seal failures. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing technologies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly torsional airtight threaded joint, which can solve the problem that as the drilling depth of the oil field oil layer becomes deeper and deeper, the mud and gas pressure applied to the drill string becomes greater and greater during the drilling process, and the drill pipe is prone to sealing failure and puncture failure.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A highly torsionally resistant, airtight threaded joint comprises an internally threaded joint and an externally threaded joint, wherein the internally threaded joint comprises an internally threaded main step, an internally threaded extension section, an internal thread, an internally threaded oblique step, an internally threaded cylindrical section, and an internally threaded secondary step; the externally threaded joint comprises an externally threaded main step, an externally threaded extension section, an external thread, an externally threaded cylindrical section, an externally threaded oblique step, an externally threaded cylindrical extension section, and an externally threaded secondary step; the external and internal threads are connected using a taper of 1:6-1:16; when the internally threaded joint and the externally threaded joint are connected, the internally threaded oblique step and the externally threaded oblique step have an interference fit, and the internally threaded extension section and the externally threaded extension section, as well as the internally threaded cylindrical section and the externally threaded cylindrical extension section, have a clearance fit.

[0006] Preferably, end faces of the internal thread secondary step and the external thread secondary step are both provided with chamfers.

[0007] Preferably, the thread profiles of the internal thread and the external thread adopt a pitch of 5.08 mm, 6.35 mm, 7.257 mm or 8.567 mm.

[0008] Preferably, the external thread and the internal thread are connected with a taper of 1:12.

[0009] Preferably, the inner and outer diameters of the internal threaded joint are equal to those of the external threaded joint.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in the present invention, by setting the internal thread main step and the external thread main step, the internal thread inclined step and the external thread inclined step, and the internal thread secondary step and the external thread secondary step, the three anti-torsion sealing structures improve the torsional strength and sealing performance, and disperse the stress concentration of the thread, solving the requirements of oil and gas field drilling for high torsional strength and high internal pressure of the thread.
