Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil drilling, and more particularly to a high-strength wear-resistant plunger. Background Art
[0002] Variable diameter centralizers are commonly used to accommodate changes in wellbore diameter during directional drilling, especially in large horizontal sections, reducing tripping times. These centralizers are designed with multiple plungers, a crucial component for maintaining wellbore stability. The extended plungers provide both inclination stabilization and support. When activated, the plungers expand to their desired size, creating friction with the wellbore wall. Therefore, the plunger surface must possess high resistance to wear and erosion.
[0003] In the past, plungers were mainly made of welded PDC composite sheets (such as Figure 1 The black block in the middle shows the blank area is the bonding layer) or the sintered bulk polycrystalline (such as Figure 2 The black block in the middle shows that the blank area is the bonding layer) for wear protection. The PDC tooth layout has a limited coverage area. Since all parts of the block polycrystalline except the exposed surface need to be inlaid with powder to ensure strength, it is still impossible to achieve full coverage of the plunger surface. Figure 3 The cross-sectional structure provided shows that due to the large exposed area of the bonding layer (i.e., the powder) and the poor wear resistance of the powder, when the powder is worn away, the PDC composite sheet or sintered block loses its bonding strength and easily falls off. This leads to severe abrasion of the plunger, making it difficult to operate for a long time.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a plunger that can improve adhesion and thus improve wear resistance is a problem that those skilled in the art urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a high-strength wear-resistant plunger, aiming to solve the above technical problems.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A high-strength wear-resistant plunger, comprising: a plunger base, one end of the plunger base is used to connect with a hydraulic component, and the other end has a plunger wear-resistant belt; the plunger wear-resistant belt comprises: an adhesive layer and a wear-resistant body;
[0008] One surface of the bonding layer is bonded and fixed to an end surface of the plunger base away from the hydraulic component;
[0009] There are multiple wear-resistant bodies, and the wear-resistant bodies are of conical structure. The narrow head end of the wear-resistant body is embedded and bonded to a surface of the bonding layer away from the plunger base, and the wide head end of the wear-resistant body is exposed outside the surface of the bonding layer away from the plunger base and is flush with the surface. The wide head ends of the multiple wear-resistant bodies are compactly arranged so that the end faces of the wide head ends of the multiple wear-resistant bodies are combined to form a wear-resistant surface.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, the utility model adopts a specially designed cone-shaped wear-resistant body to be connected to the plunger base through an adhesive layer. The characteristic of this structure is that it utilizes the shape characteristics of the cone structure that is wide at one end and narrow at the other end. When the wide ends of multiple wear-resistant bodies are combined as close as possible to form a wear-resistant surface, due to the narrowness of the other end, there is still a large adhesive layer filling gap between adjacent wear-resistant bodies. In this way, the wear-resistant surface formed by the wide ends of the multiple wear-resistant bodies has a small adhesive layer exposed gap, and the adhesive layer can form a good adhesive force with the side wall of the wear-resistant body. Therefore, due to the compact arrangement of multiple wear-resistant bodies, the wear resistance is improved and the bonding strength is guaranteed, and the wear-resistant body will not fall off due to exposure of the adhesive layer and excessive wear.
[0011] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the cone sidewall surface of the wear-resistant body has friction lines. The friction lines can increase the surface roughness of the cone and improve the bonding strength with the bonding layer.
[0012] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the friction pattern is a spiral pattern. The spiral pattern has a better effect of increasing the roughness of the cone surface.
[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the wear-resistant surface is formed into an arc surface, which can meet the friction requirements.
[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the wear-resistant body is heat-stable diamond polycrystalline, and the bonding layer is a metal layer formed by sintering pre-alloyed matrix powder.
[0015] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the heat-stable diamond polycrystals are sintered and bonded to the pre-alloyed matrix powder by powder metallurgy technology to form an integrated structure. The heat-stable diamond polycrystals are firmly bonded to the pre-alloyed matrix powder by powder metallurgy and embedded in the high-strength wear-resistant belt.
[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the pre-alloyed matrix powder includes a mixed powder of any one or more of W, WC, Fe, Ni and Cr.
[0017] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the wear-resistant body is a conical structure.
[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned high-strength wear-resistant plunger, the end surface of the plunger base for connecting with the bonding layer has a concave-convex tooth surface. The design of the concave-convex tooth surface can increase the bonding area between the plunger base and the bonding layer and improve the bonding stability.
[0019] It can be seen from the above technical solution that compared with the existing technology, the utility model discloses a high-strength wear-resistant plunger. Through the specially designed spherical conical teeth heat-stable diamond polycrystal, it can not only ensure the bonding strength of the polycrystal and the matrix powder, but also achieve a wear-resistant polycrystal coverage rate of ≥90% on the outer arc surface of the plunger, which greatly improves the erosion resistance and wear resistance of the plunger wear-resistant belt. Compared with the plunger welded with composite sheets and conventional block polycrystal fired, it has higher erosion resistance and wear resistance, and can effectively solve the problem of early failure of the plunger arc surface shrinkage.

[0038] One surface of the bonding layer 21 is bonded and fixed to the end surface of the plunger base 1 away from the hydraulic component;
[0039] There are multiple wear-resistant bodies 22, and the wear-resistant bodies 22 are conical structures.

The wide head ends 222 of the multiple wear-resistant bodies 22 are compactly arranged so that the end faces of the wide head ends 222 of the multiple wear-resistant bodies 22 are combined to form a wear-resistant surface.
[0040] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, the cone side wall surface of the wear-resistant body 22 has friction lines 223.
[0041] In this embodiment, the friction pattern 223 is a spiral pattern. In other embodiments, the friction pattern 223 can also be other types of grooves. During processing, the spiral or other types of grooves are cut by laser.
