TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of oil releasers, belong to oil and gas exploitation technical field, specifically a kind of rotary controllable oil releaser. BACKGROUND
[0002] In oil and gas exploitation, the oil valve on the oil pump is a one-way valve, and the crude oil stored in the oil pipe above the oil pump will not flow back to the well. In the pump lifting operation for oil well maintenance or other operations, the oil pipe needs to be lifted out. In order to prevent the crude oil in the oil pipe from causing wellhead pollution, the oil releaser is used to release the crude oil into the well before lifting the pipe. At the same time, the oil releaser can also release the liquid column pressure in the oil pipe and reduce the load of the workover rig.
[0003] However, the existing oil releasers often cannot be opened normally, which increases the difficulty of construction for the on-site operators. At present, there are many types of commonly used oil releasers, which can be generally divided into three types. The first type is a lifting type oil releaser, which needs to be used with a sucker rod or a hanging and bumping device. It not only requires precise assembly of the pipe column, but also must be replaced together after the pump pipe is lifted out if the rod is dropped or stuck during the operation. The second type is a breakable oil releaser, which is installed below the pump. This type of oil releaser cannot be used normally when the crude oil viscosity is high or the sucker rod is dropped or broken. The third type is an oil pipe anchor type oil releaser, which has a wide range of applications. However, due to its large outer diameter, the slips often cannot be released and retrieved, which leads to pipe column sticking or the anchor being unable to continue to be lowered after setting. In addition, it cannot be used in wells with pump sand exploration. Therefore, the main problems of the commonly used oil releasers are complex structure and operation, easy to stick, poor reliability, and cannot be restored for secondary use after opening, which causes resource waste.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the rotary controllable oil drain described herein is a preferred embodiment and is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
[0032] The directional terms or positional relationships such as "upper" and "lower" described in the present invention are based on the directional relationships in the drawings in the present invention specification and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the content protected by the present invention. Example
[0033] This embodiment Figures 1 to 9 The figure shows a rotary controllable oil drain, comprising a center tube 2, an upper joint 1, a lower joint 9, a clamp frame 4, an anchor mechanism 5, a friction mechanism 6, a block 7, and a return spring 8. The device is placed in a casing (not shown) and connected to the oil pipe of a wellbore pump to drain the crude oil in the pipe.
[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the upper joint 1 is a tubular with closed upper end, and has external thread at its lower end, which is screwed with the internal thread of the upper end of the central pipe 22. The oil drain hole 201 is formed in the wall of the central pipe 22 at the position where the central pipe 22 is screwed with the upper joint 1. The oil drain hole 201 is blocked by the threaded part of the upper joint 1, and is sealed by the sealing ring 101 fixed on the outer part of the lower end of the upper joint 1. To further enhance the sealing effect, the oil drain hole 201 is sealed with high temperature paraffin wax before use.
[0035] As shown in Figure 3 the drawing, the shear pin 3 is fixed at the position where the central pipe 22 is screwed with the upper joint 1, and is arranged at the opposite side of the oil drain hole 201. The shear pin 3 is used to fix the upper joint 1 with the central pipe 22, and is cut off when a large rotating force is applied between the upper joint 1 and the central pipe 22, so that the upper joint 1 moves upward relative to the central pipe 22, and finally opens the oil drain hole 201 to drain oil. The shear pin 3 is a consumable, and can be replaced after the oil is drained once, so that the oil drain device can be reused, saving resources and greatly reducing the use cost.
[0036] The clamp frame 4 is a tubular, which is sleeved on the central pipe 22, and has windows for installing the anchoring mechanism 5 and the friction mechanism 6. The anchoring mechanism 5 has two windows, which are symmetrically arranged on the circumference of the clamp frame 4. The friction mechanism 6 also has two windows, which are symmetrically arranged on the circumference of the clamp frame 4.
[0037] The anchoring mechanism 5 includes a cam part 502 and a clamp tooth 501. The cam part 502 is arranged around the axis of the central pipe 22 and is fixed on the central pipe 22, which can be fixed by welding. The cam part 502 includes two convex sections with gradually increasing radius in the circumferential direction. One convex section corresponds to one clamp tooth 501, as shown in Figure 4 The clamp tooth 501 is movably sleeved in the window, and its end towards the central pipe abuts against the cam part 502. The other end of the clamp tooth 501 extends out of the window. The extension amount of the clamp tooth 501 is adjusted by the relative position of the clamp tooth 501 and the cam part 502, so that the clamp tooth 501 can be radially extended and retracted along the central pipe 22. Before use of the oil drain device, the position of the clamp tooth 501 is as shown in Figure 4-1 When the central pipe 22 is rotated in the forward direction, the cam part 502 is rotated, and the extension amount of the clamp tooth 501 is increased. The position of the clamp tooth 501 becomes as shown in Figure 4-2As shown in , at this time, the center tube 22 can be anchored in the sleeve by the jaws 501, providing shear force for cutting the shear nails 3. In order to prevent the jaws 501 from falling during use, the cross-sectional area of the jaws 501 facing the center tube 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the window opening, and is also larger than the cross-sectional area of the portion extending out of the window. When the jaws 501 are pushed out by the cam portion 502, the window can clamp the jaws 501 to ensure that the jaws 501 will not fall off the window. Specifically, one way is to set the outer peripheral surface of the jaws 501 perpendicular to the extending direction to an inclined plane, so that the cross-sectional area of the jaws 501 facing the center tube 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the portion extending out of the window, and of course larger than the cross-sectional area of the window opening. It can also be as follows Figure 5 As shown in FIG, in this embodiment, one configuration of the jaws 501 is as follows: a widened portion 503 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the end of the jaws 501 facing the center tube 22. The jaws 501 have a stepped structure that is smaller on the outside and larger on the inside, and the widened portion 503 is designed to abut against the window. Of course, the anti-drop function of the jaws 501 can also be achieved through other existing structures. To enhance the anchoring effect between the jaws 501 and the inner wall of the casing, the surface of the jaws 501 that contacts the casing can be roughened.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the friction mechanism 6 includes a friction block 601 and a thrust spring 602. The friction block 601 extends through a window. Several thrust springs 602 are fixedly positioned transversely on the end surface of the friction block 601 facing the center tube 22. The other ends of the thrust springs 602 are movably abutted against the center tube 22. The thrust springs 602 are in a compressed state, causing the friction block 601 to frictionally engage the sleeve outside the center tube 22. Specifically, there are three thrust springs 602 for each friction block 601. To prevent the friction block 601 from falling during use, the cross-sectional area of the end of the friction block 601 facing the center tube 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the window opening and also larger than the cross-sectional area of the portion extending through the window, thereby ensuring that the friction block 601 does not fall out of the window. Specifically, in this embodiment, the friction block 601 is constructed by beveling the outer peripheral surface of the friction block 601, which is perpendicular to the direction of extension, so that the cross-sectional area of the end of the friction block 601 facing the center tube 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the portion extending through the window, and also larger than the cross-sectional area of the window opening. Of course, the structure of the friction block 601 can also be set as follows: the friction block 601 is fixed with a widened portion on the outer periphery of one end facing the central tube 22, and the friction block 601 has a stepped structure with a small outside and a large inside, and the widened portion is used to support the inside of the window.
[0039] The lower joint 9 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the center pipe 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper end of the lower joint 9 is provided with an internal thread, which is connected to the external thread at the lower end of the center pipe 22. The outer diameter of the upper end of the lower joint 9 protrudes from the outer diameter of the center pipe 22. The lower end of the lower joint 9 is also provided with an external thread, which is threadedly connected to the oil pipe on the oil pump.
[0040] The reset spring 8 is located between the tong frame 4 and the lower joint 9, and the reset spring 8 is entirely wrapped around the outer surface of the central pipe 2. The reset spring 8 is used to provide an upward thrust for resetting the tong frame 4. An annular stop 7 is movably sleeved on the central pipe 2 between the upper end of the reset spring 8 and the tong frame 4. The stop 7 and the upper end of the reset spring 8 can be fixedly connected or abutted. The lower end of the reset spring 8 abuts on the part of the lower joint 9 that protrudes outward from the outer diameter of the central pipe 2. The stop 7 separates the tong frame 4 and the reset spring 8 when they rotate. Specifically, the upper end of the reset spring 8 is connected to or abuts on the stop 7, and the lower end of the reset spring 8 abuts on the part of the lower joint 9 that protrudes outward from the outer diameter of the central pipe 2.
[0041] As shown in Figure 7 , in order to reduce the friction of the tong frame 4 when it rotates, a plurality of arc-shaped grooves are formed on the upper surface of the stop 7. A plurality of rolling balls 701 are arranged in the arc-shaped grooves. The upper part of each rolling ball 701 protrudes from the upper surface of the stop 7 and rolls in contact with the tong frame 4.
[0042] Fine sand particles can be contained in crude oil. The drainage device cannot normally work due to the presence of sand particles during the oil drainage process before the tubing is pulled out. In this embodiment, a plurality of vertical sand-preventing grooves 202 are formed on the outer surface of the lower part of the central pipe 2 along the circumferential direction. When the tong frame 4 moves up and down, a small amount of sand particles can enter the sand-preventing grooves 202, thereby avoiding the fine sand particles from jamming the drainage device to a certain extent.
[0043] When this embodiment is implemented, Figure 1 , the tong teeth 501 are in the state shown in Figure 4-1 . The drainage device is lowered into the casing. The drainage device is relatively fixed in the casing by the friction block 601. The lower joint 9 is threadedly connected to the tubing and then lowered into the well. When oil drainage is needed, the upper joint 1 is rotated in the forward direction. Because the friction block 601 has friction with the casing, the tong frame 4 and the tong teeth 501 on the tong frame 4 are both fixed and cannot rotate relative to the casing. The upper joint 1 drives the central pipe 2 to rotate, thereby driving the cam portion 502 welded to the central pipe 2 to rotate. With the rotation of the cam portion 502, the extension of the tong teeth 501 increases. The tong teeth 501 can be maximally pushed out to the state shown in Figure 4-2 . At this time, the central pipe 2 is anchored in the casing. The upper joint 1 is continuously rotated, the shearing force on the shear pin 3 increases, and the shear pin 3 is then sheared. The upper joint 1 is continuously rotated to move upward until the drainage hole 201 is exposed. The drainage hole 201 is opened to drain oil. After the oil drainage is completed, the tubing is pulled out. At this time, the drainage device can be removed. Only the upper joint 1 needs to be lifted upward. The tong frame 4 is fixed relative to the casing due to the anchoring effect. The central pipe 2 and the cam portion 502 fixedly arranged on the central pipe 2 can move upward under the action of the upward lifting force. At the same time, the reset spring 8 is compressed, as shown in Figure 8As shown in the figure, when the cam part 502 is completely above the tong jaw 501, the tong jaw 501 will retract, releasing the anchoring of the central tube 2, slightly rotating the central tube 2, and the reset spring 8 will push the tong frame 4 back to the reset position, at which time the oil drain pipe state is as shown in the figure Figure 9 As shown in the figure, when the cam part 502 is completely above the tong jaw 501, the tong jaw 501 will retract, releasing the anchoring of the central tube 2, slightly rotating the central tube 2, and the reset spring 8 will push the tong frame 4 back to the reset position, at which time the oil drain pipe state is as shown in the figure Figure 9 As shown in the figure, when the cam part 502 is completely above the tong jaw 501, the tong jaw 501 will retract, releasing the anchoring of the central tube 2, slightly rotating the central tube 2, and the reset spring 8 will push the tong frame 4 back to the reset position, at which time the oil drain pipe state is as shown in the figure
