The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent through the following specific embodiments.
[0030] See also Figure 1 The present embodiment is a wellhead safety grounding quick gun connection device for oil and gas well cable perforating, which mainly includes an upper joint 1, an intermediate joint 2, a connecting sleeve 3, a lower joint 4, a combined bearing 5 and an elastic grounding component 6.
[0031] Among them, the upper end face of the upper connector 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 7 adapted to the external magnetic positioning end. When in use, the external magnetic positioning end is connected through the first connecting hole 7 to achieve connection with the upper lifting cable part; the lower end face of the upper connector 1 is provided with a second connecting hole, which is connected to the first connecting hole 7 and adapted to the upper end of the intermediate connector 2.

A gap is provided between the lower end surface of the intermediate joint 2 and the upper end surface of the lower joint 4. A hole retaining ring 10 is provided in this gap. The outer wall of the hole retaining ring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3, limiting the intermediate joint 2 and preventing the intermediate joint 2 from moving downward and rubbing against the end surface of the lower joint 4. An annular boss is provided at the lower end of the outer wall of the intermediate joint 2, and the outer wall of the annular boss is rotatably engaged with the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3.
[0033] The inner wall of the upper end of the connecting sleeve 3 is provided with a mounting groove compatible with the combined bearing 5. The combined bearing 5 is installed in the mounting groove, and the combined bearing 5 enables easy rotation between the connecting sleeve 3 and the intermediate joint 2. The inner ring of the combined bearing 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the intermediate joint 2 via the bearing inner sleeve 9, which facilitates adjustment of the gap between the bearing and the intermediate joint 2 and plays a role in straightening and centering. The outer ring of the combined bearing 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3; specifically, in this embodiment, the combined bearing 5 is a needle roller thrust roller combination bearing. The combined bearing 5 has a large axial load capacity and can withstand both radial and axial loads. This ensures that when the connecting sleeve 3 is rotated and connected, it can withstand both the axial gravity of the connecting sleeve 3 and the radial offset friction force, preventing the cable from twisting, making the connection easy, and protecting the cable from damage.
[0034] The lower end surface of the lower joint 4 is provided with a third connection hole 8 adapted to the top joint of the perforating gun, for connecting the top joint of the perforating gun; the upper end surface of the lower joint 4 is provided with a mounting hole adapted to the elastic grounding component 6, and the elastic grounding component 6 is installed in the mounting hole.

[0035] See also Figure 2 The elastic grounding component 6 of this embodiment specifically includes a core shaft 61, a sleeve 62, a spring 63 and a nut 64.
[0036] The core shaft 61, the outer sleeve 62, the spring 63 and the nut 64 are all made of stainless steel, which ensures electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
[0037] The core shaft 61 includes a first sub-shaft 611 and a second sub-shaft 612 that are coaxially connected. The diameter of the first sub-shaft 611 is smaller than the diameter of the second sub-shaft 612. The outer wall of the outer sleeve 62 is threadedly connected to the lower joint 4 so as not to loosen, thereby ensuring the integral rotation of the elastic grounding device and the lower joint 4. The outer sleeve 62 is mounted on the core shaft 61, and its inner hole includes a first connecting section 621 and a second connecting section 622 that are sequentially connected from top to bottom; the diameter of the first connecting section 621 is adapted to the diameter of the first sub-shaft 611, and the diameter of the second connecting section 622 is adapted to the diameter of the second sub-shaft 612; the upper end of the first sub-shaft 611 and the lower end of the second sub-shaft 612 are respectively placed outside the inner hole of the outer sleeve 62; the spring 63 is mounted on the first sub-shaft 611, and its lower end is connected to the first sub-shaft 611. The upper end is connected to the step of the first connecting section 621 and the second connecting section 622 at the step of the second sub-shaft 612; the nut 64 is threadedly mounted on the upper end of the first sub-shaft 611. In the initial state, the lower end face of the nut 64 abuts the upper end face of the outer sleeve 62. The spring 63 has a large elastic compensation amount, which effectively compensates for processing and assembly errors; the core shaft 61 is the elastic movable end of the elastic grounding component 6, and its second sub-shaft 612 is used to abut on the top joint of the perforating gun when connecting the perforating gun.
[0038] Preferably, the lower end face of the second sub-shaft 612 is provided with an inner concave surface to ensure effective contact of the contacts in any state, so that the detonator ignition wire and the ground wire are short-circuited, eliminating the influence of factors such as static electricity and stray current on the electric detonator, and improving the safety performance of the entire system during the installation process.
