[0002] A throttle is a component in a hydraulic system that regulates fluid flow and generates a pressure drop. Various throttles are used in different aspects of industrial construction and play their respective roles in our industrial construction. The downhole throttling process installs the downhole throttle at an appropriate position in the oil pipe, which can achieve throttling and pressure reduction in the wellbore. At the same time, the formation heat can be used to heat the low-temperature natural gas after throttling, reduce the natural gas pressure after throttling and the hydrate production temperature, thereby preventing the formation of hydrate blockage and improving gas well production. With the development of society, the application of downhole throttles has become more and more extensive. Therefore, the demand for a natural gas downhole throttle is growing.
[0003] Most of the existing downhole chokes have a simple structure and a single function. When the natural gas in the gas well is discharged, the underground liquid will be brought out, resulting in liquid accumulation above the choke, which affects the normal use of the choke and has poor practicality. In addition, the compression spring of the existing choke is exposed. When the choke is placed in the gas well, the compression spring may be damaged, causing it to malfunction and affect the normal use of the choke. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to increase the sealing performance of the baffle, as a preferred automatic liquid-draining gas well downhole throttle of the present invention, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the baffle.
[0009] In order to facilitate the installation of the bellows, as an automatic liquid-draining gas well downhole throttle device of the present invention, the lower end surface of the fixed tube and the upper end surface of the valve are both provided with slots, and the upper and lower ends of the bellows are respectively clamped in the inside of the two slots.

The utility model has strong practicality.
[0014] The upper and lower ends of the bellows are respectively clamped in the two clamping grooves, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the bellows. The bellows protects the compression spring, allowing the spring to work normally without affecting the normal use of the throttle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The compression spring 5 is protected by the bellows 7, so that the spring 5 can work normally without affecting the normal use of the throttle.
[0024] When there is too much accumulated liquid above the throttle, the pressure in the liquid inlet 11 above the baffle 15 is greater than the pressure of the spring 14, and the telescopic rod 13 drives the baffle 15 to move downward. At the same time, the baffle 15 squeezes the spring 14, so that the upper end surface of the baffle 15 is separated from the internal top surface of the cavity 9, so that the accumulated liquid enters from the liquid inlet 11 and is then discharged through the drainage groove 10, reducing the accumulated liquid above the throttle, so that the pressure in the liquid inlet 11 above the baffle 15 is less than the pressure of the spring 14.

[0033] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the outer wall of the central tube 1 is provided with a plurality of drainage ports 18 located inside the valve cover interface 2 .
[0034] In this embodiment, the liquid in the central tube 1 enters the interior of the valve cover interface 2 through the liquid discharge port 18 .
[0035] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, when the pressure inside the central tube 1 is too high, the liquid inside the throttle enters from the top of the central tube 1, and then is discharged into the interior of the valve cover interface 2 through the drain port 18. When the pressure inside the valve cover interface 2 is greater than the pressure set by the compression spring 5, the valve 3 is pushed upward to separate the valve 3 from the valve cover interface 2, and the liquid is discharged from the top of the valve cover interface 2, reducing the pressure inside the central tube 1;
[0036] By rotating the threaded sleeve 8, the threaded sleeve 8 drives the adjusting ring 4 to move up and down on the outer wall of the central tube 1, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the pressure of the compression spring 5.

The bellows 7 protects the compression spring 5, so that the spring 5 can work normally without affecting the normal use of the throttle.
[0037] When there is too much accumulated liquid above the throttle, the pressure in the liquid inlet 11 above the baffle 15 is greater than the pressure of the spring 14, and the telescopic rod 13 drives the baffle 15 to move downward. At the same time, the baffle 15 squeezes the spring 14, so that the upper end surface of the baffle 15 is separated from the internal top surface of the cavity 9, so that the accumulated liquid enters from the liquid inlet 11 and is then discharged through the drainage groove 10, reducing the accumulated liquid above the throttle, so that the pressure in the liquid inlet 11 above the baffle 15 is less than the pressure of the spring 14.
