Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum downhole cutting equipment, in particular to an integrated nozzle for a valveless plasma cutting torch. Background Art
[0002] Pyrotechnic cutting technology typically utilizes a jet generated by pyrotechnic powder under high temperature and high pressure to quickly and efficiently cut the target pipeline, effectively resolving the problem of stuck drill pipes in oil pipe strings. A pyrotechnic cutting torch generally consists of an ignition system, a combustion chamber, and a nozzle. The ignition system initiates the cutting process; the combustion chamber generates a high-temperature, high-pressure jet; and the nozzle influences key indicators such as jet shape and energy utilization. Complex operating conditions require dry isolation of the pyrotechnic powder and ignition system in the pyrotechnic cutting torch. However, during cutting, the cutting channel must be quickly exposed to ensure timely ejection of the jet. Therefore, a valve is typically installed at the nozzle outlet for control. However, existing nozzles have complex structures, require high machining precision, and carry the risk of leaks at the seals. This also increases manufacturing costs and makes use and maintenance more difficult, limiting the further promotion and application of pyrotechnic cutting torches. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] The utility model aims to provide an integrated nozzle for a valveless plasma cutting torch to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and high reliability.
[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated nozzle for a valveless plasma cutting torch, including a nozzle body 1 with a hollow interior, and the first end of the nozzle body 1 is open, so that the molten jet in the combustion chamber 8 and other components can enter the nozzle body 1, the second end of the nozzle body 1 is blocked, and a plurality of flow channels 2 are provided in the middle of the nozzle body 1 to prevent the molten jet from being ejected through the second end of the nozzle body 1, so that the molten jet can only be ejected through the flow channel 2 to cut the target oil pipe, and each flow channel 2 is provided with a blocking side wall 9, which can isolate the interior of the nozzle body 1 from the outside, thereby Before the flow enters the nozzle body 1, the barrier side wall 9 is used to block the material in the well, so as to prevent the material in the well from entering the nozzle body 1 through the flow channel 2 and affecting the subsequent ejection of the molten jet. At the same time, the integrated design does not require additional sealing, which can reduce the difficulty of assembly, use and maintenance, and is suitable for mass production. After the molten jet enters the nozzle body 1 through the first end of the nozzle body 1, it can burn the barrier side wall 9 and connect the inside of the nozzle body 1 with the outside world, so that the molten jet can be ejected through the flow channel 2 to achieve cutting of the target oil pipe. The overall structure is simple, easy to use, low cost and high reliability.
[0031] Specifically, the first end of the nozzle body 1 is designed to extend into the combustion chamber 8 and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the combustion chamber 8, achieving a detachable connection and facilitating assembly and disassembly. The nozzle body 1 also has a first stepped surface on its outer wall near the first end, with one end of the combustion chamber 8 positioned on the first stepped surface, improving connection stability and facilitating subsequent sealing. Furthermore, due to its simple structure, the nozzle body 1 can be integrated with other components, such as the combustion chamber 8.
[0032] A second step surface is also provided between the first step surface and the flow channel 2, and a third step surface is provided on the outer wall of the combustion chamber 8. A sealing ring 7 is limitedly connected between the second step surface and the third step surface, and the connection between the combustion chamber 8 and the nozzle body 1 is sealed by the sealing ring 7. The sealing ring 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connection between the first end of the nozzle body 1 and the combustion chamber 8. At the same time, the sealing ring 7 and the combustion chamber 8, as well as the sealing ring 7 and the nozzle body 1 are all connected by threads, which can further improve the connection stability between the combustion chamber 8 and the nozzle body 1.
[0033] Sealing rings 6 are installed between the inner wall of the sealing ring 7 and the outer wall of the nozzle body 1, and between the inner wall of the sealing ring 7 and the outer wall of the combustion chamber 8. These seal the gaps between the sealing ring 7 and the nozzle body 1, and between the sealing ring 7 and the combustion chamber 8, thereby improving sealing performance. The outer diameter of the nozzle body 1 is slightly reduced above the flow channel 2, and two sealing grooves 4 are formed on the outer wall to accommodate the sealing rings 6.
[0034] The second end of the nozzle body 1 is a small cylindrical section, the outer wall of which is provided with a circle of annular grooves 5 for connecting instruments located at the second end of the nozzle body 1; the small cylindrical section is not hollow.
[0035] The nozzle body 1 is made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel or high-temperature alloys such as nickel-based and molybdenum-based alloys.
[0036] A transition cone is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the nozzle body 1 near the small cylindrical section. The angle of the transition cone is 45 degrees. The transition cone is provided with multiple side elevations for wrench clamping, thereby facilitating operation with a wrench. Preferably, there are four side elevations.
[0037] The flow channel 2 is a radial fan-shaped flow channel, and multiple fan-shaped flow channels are arranged circumferentially around the axis of the nozzle body 1. Each flow channel 2 is located on the same plane, that is, multiple flow channels 2 form a circle, and adjacent fan-shaped flow channels are separated by trapezoidal connecting ribs 3. At the same time, the trapezoidal connecting ribs 3 also realize the connection between the structure above the flow channel 2 and the structure below the flow channel 2, ensuring the strength of the integrated structure; the barrier side wall 9 is an arc-shaped side wall, and multiple barrier side walls 9 form a circle, and adjacent barrier side walls 9 are separated by trapezoidal connecting ribs 3; the distance between the flow channel 2 and the inner bottom surface of the nozzle body 1 is 10mm-30mm, so that the cavity below the flow channel 2 forms a molten pool, thereby avoiding the slag formed by the combustion of the internal charge column after the molten jet enters the interior of the nozzle body 1 to block the flow channel 2, affecting the subsequent ejection of the molten jet. Before operation, the internal and external environments are isolated by the barrier side wall 9. During operation, the molten jet is ejected from the combustion chamber 8, quickly burns the barrier side wall 9 and ejected from the corresponding flow channel 2 to achieve cutting of the target oil pipe.
[0038] The number of the flow channels 2 is preferably three or four, the width of the flow channels 2 is 3 mm-5 mm, and the slope of the trapezoidal connecting ribs 3 is preferably 5°-15°.
[0039] The thickness of the barrier side wall 9 is 0.2 mm to 3 mm, and can be specifically set comprehensively according to the underwater pressure, the intensity of the cutting agent and the material of the nozzle.
[0040] The barrier side wall 9 is located in the middle of the flow channel 2 .
[0041] Example 2
[0042] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the barrier side wall 9 is located at the inner end of the flow channel 2, and the barrier side wall 9 is flush with the inner wall of the nozzle body 1. The area of the barrier side wall 9 is small, which is more conducive to saving energy and rapid ejection of the jet, and is suitable for clean working environments such as dry wells or clear water wells.
[0043] Example 3
[0044] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the barrier side wall 9 is located at the outer end of the flow channel 2, and the barrier side wall 9 is flush with the outer wall of the nozzle body 1, which can be applied to complex working conditions such as mud and prevent debris from clogging the flow channel 2.
[0045] The position of the blocking side wall 9 can also be set accordingly according to actual working conditions.
[0046] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
