Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of underground pipeline cleaning, in particular to an underground self-moving tool. Background Art
[0002] Downhole pipeline cleaning plays the role of removing mud, cleaning and maintaining the well wall. It is an indispensable part of downhole drilling. Downhole pipeline cleaning uses hydraulic action to inject high-pressure water into the well to flush away the mud and debris on the well wall, so that the well wall remains clean and flat, which is convenient for the next operation. The principle of downhole pipeline cleaning is to inject water from the ground into the well, so that the water flow generates huge kinetic energy, and then the high-speed water flow is directed to the well wall through the flushing head to flush away the mud and debris on the well wall. During the flushing process, in order to ensure the flushing effect, the flushing head needs to move downward slowly and continuously to achieve longitudinal cleaning of the pipeline. At present, in order to ensure the cleaning effect, the staff needs to continuously pull the flushing pipe to move the flushing head, which is a large workload. Moreover, the manual pulling cannot control the moving speed and the flushing effect is poor. Summary of the Invention

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

The outer pipe is a round pipe with internal threads at both ends. One end of the upper connecting pipe is provided with an internal thread. The upper connecting pipe is threadedly connected to one end of the outer pipe, and the lower connecting pipe is threadedly connected to the other end of the outer pipe.

One end of the telescopic pipe slides into the upper connecting pipe, and the other end of the telescopic pipe slides out of the lower connecting pipe and is threadedly connected to the flushing head. A damping block is installed on the telescopic pipe. The damping block separates the space between the outer pipe and the telescopic pipe into a left chamber and a right chamber, and the left chamber and the right chamber are filled with lubricating liquid. A spring is sleeved on the section of the telescopic pipe in the right chamber.

[0018] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0020] A downhole self-moving tool comprises an upper connecting pipe 1, a telescopic tube 2, an outer tube 5, a lower connecting pipe 7 and a flushing head 6. The outer tube 5 is a round tube with internal threads at both ends. One end of the upper connecting pipe 1 is provided with an internal thread. The upper connecting pipe 1 is threadedly connected to one end of the outer tube 5, and the lower connecting pipe 7 is threadedly connected to the other end of the outer tube 5. The upper connecting pipe 1, the outer tube 5 and the lower connecting pipe 7 are hollow tubes. The telescopic tube 2 is slidably sleeved in the outer tube 5. One end of the telescopic tube 2 slides into the upper connecting pipe 1, and the other end of the telescopic tube 2 slides out of the lower connecting pipe 7 and is threadedly connected to the flushing head 6. A damping block 3 is installed on the telescopic tube 2. The damping block 3 separates the space between the outer tube 5 and the telescopic tube 2 into a left chamber 8 and a right chamber 9, and the left chamber 8 and the right chamber 9 are filled with lubricating fluid. A spring 4 is sleeved on the section of the telescopic tube 2 in the right chamber 9.
[0021] The damping block 3 is provided with a flow hole 31 that passes through the left chamber 8 and the right chamber 9. The aperture of the flow hole 31 is very small, and the lubricating fluid can only slowly enter the left chamber 8 from the right chamber 9.
[0022] The outer wall of the front middle section of the telescopic tube 2 bulges outward to form an outer boss 21 , and the damping block 3 is arranged on the right side of the outer boss 21 . A space is left between the outer boss 21 and the inner wall of the outer tube 5 to facilitate the circulation of lubricating fluid.
[0023] The telescopic tube 2 is provided with a spring clamping platform 22 on the right side of the outer boss 21. The spring 4 is sleeved between the spring clamping platform 22 of the telescopic tube 2 and the end of the lower connecting pipe 7. When the telescopic tube 2 moves relative to the outer tube 5, the spring 4 is compressed and the volume of the right chamber 9 becomes smaller.
[0024] A first sealing ring 10 is provided between the wall where the telescopic tube 2 and the upper connecting pipe 1 are connected, to prevent lubricating fluid from flowing into the inner cavity of the upper connecting pipe 1 from the gap between the wall where the telescopic tube 2 and the upper connecting pipe 1 are connected.
[0025] A second sealing ring 11 is provided at the connection between the upper connecting pipe 1 and the outer pipe 5 to prevent the lubricating liquid from leaking from the connection between the upper connecting pipe 1 and the outer pipe 5 .
[0026] A third sealing ring 12 is provided at the connection between the outer tube 5 and the lower connecting pipe 7 to prevent the lubricating liquid from leaking from the connection between the outer tube 5 and the lower connecting pipe 7 .
[0027] A fourth sealing ring 13 is provided between the wall where the lower connecting pipe 7 and the telescopic pipe 2 are connected, so as to prevent the lubricating fluid from flowing out of the gap between the wall where the lower connecting pipe 7 and the telescopic pipe 2 are connected.
[0028] During use, the tool is first lowered into the well to be cleaned. During the cleaning operation, high-pressure flushing liquid is transferred to the flushing head 6 through the telescopic tube 2 and then flushed toward the well wall. During cleaning, the impact of the high-pressure flushing liquid forces the telescopic tube 2 to move rapidly in the direction of the water flow. However, when the telescopic tube 2 moves relative to the outer tube 5, the spring 4 is compressed, and the volume of the right chamber 9 decreases, causing the lubricating liquid to flow to the left chamber 8 through the flow hole 31 of the damping block 3. The aperture of the flow hole 31 is very small, so the lubricating liquid can only slowly enter the left chamber 8 from the right chamber 9. The spring 4 and the damping block 3, together with the lubricating liquid in the left and right chambers, jointly generate a reverse force. As a result, the telescopic tube 2, under the combined action of the thrust and reverse force of the high-pressure flushing liquid during the extension process, tends to move slowly, allowing the flushing liquid to evenly flush the well wall.
[0029] After cleaning the first section of the well wall, the pressure is released, that is, the flushing fluid stops working. At this time, the telescopic tube 2 will return to its original contracted state under the action of the spring 4. The well operator continues to lower the tool to the next section of the well wall to be flushed, and then increases the pressure, that is, the flushing starts to clean. The above process is repeated until the entire well wall is flushed.
