[0056] In order to facilitate the lubrication of the bearing 84, in the embodiment, the first valve seat 87 and the second valve seat 82 are provided with a grease injection valve 83, and the first valve seat 87 and the second valve seat 82 are respectively provided with a grease injection hole for injecting grease into the bearing 84 arranged in the mounting hole. Specifically, the sealing groove 824 divides the grease injection hole into a first grease injection hole 823 and a second grease injection hole 825, that is, the two side groove walls of the sealing groove 824 are respectively provided with the first grease injection hole 823 for communicating with the grease injection valve 83 and the second grease injection hole 825 for injecting grease into the bearing, wherein the first grease injection hole 823 and the second grease injection hole 825 are correspondingly arranged, and the two first grease injection holes 823 and the two second grease injection holes 825 are respectively uniformly and spacedly arranged along the circumference of the sealing groove 824; correspondingly, the sealing convex ring 862 comprises four uniformly and spacedly arranged annular protrusions, each annular protrusion is located on the same circumference, and the adjacent annular protrusions have a gap 8621, which constitutes a grease passing structure for passing grease. In other embodiments, the sealing convex ring 862 can be a continuous annular protrusion, and the annular protrusion is provided with a through hole, which constitutes a grease passing structure; or the annular protrusion is provided in two sections. It should be understood that the number of annular protrusions and the structure of the grease passing structure can be reasonably selected as needed. By providing the grease injection hole on the valve seat for injecting grease into the bearing mounting hole, the friction and wear of the bearing can be effectively reduced, which helps to prolong the service life of the rotary valve and the valve seat; at the same time, by providing the grease injection hole on the valve seat, the grease can be conveniently injected into the mounting hole without disassembling the rotary valve or the valve seat, which simplifies the maintenance work of the bearing.
[0057] After the rotary valve 86 is rotationally assembled with the first valve seat 87 and the second valve seat 82, the gap 8621 has a communication state of simultaneously communicating with the first grease injection hole 823 and the second grease injection hole 825 during the rotation of the rotary valve 86. Specifically, when the rotary valve 86 is rotated by 90° relative to the first valve seat 87 and the second valve seat 82, the gap 8621 of the sealing convex ring 862 communicates with the first grease injection hole 823 and the second grease injection hole 825, at this time, the first grease injection hole 823, the gap 8621 and the second grease injection hole 825 form a lubrication channel for lubricating the bearing 84. Through the lubrication channel formed by the first grease injection hole 823, the gap 8621 and the second grease injection hole 825, the bearing 84 can be conveniently lubricated.
[0058] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in order to facilitate accurate judgment of the opening or closing state of the rotary valve 86, in the embodiment, the rotary valve 86 is also provided with a valve indicating structure for indicating the communication state of the rotary valve 86, specifically, referring to Figure 13As shown, the valve indicating structure comprises a state indicating disc 31 and a limit pin; the state indicating disc 31 is assembled on the end of the rotary wrench 3 away from the rotary valve 86, and the state indicating disc 31 is provided with an arc-shaped long hole 311, and the two ends of the arc-shaped long hole 311 are provided with first marks or second marks for indicating that the rotary valve 86 is in a first state for passing the rubber plug or a second state for passing the cement slurry, wherein the first marks and the second marks are spaced apart by 90°, and the first marks and the second marks cooperate with the limit pin to indicate the rotation state of the rotary valve 86; the limit pin is fixed on the outer wall of the lower body 2 and located in the rotation stroke of the arc-shaped long hole 311; and the circumferential two ends of the arc-shaped long hole 311 are respectively used for stop cooperation with the limit pin. Through the limit cooperation of the limit pin and the state indicating disc 31, the first indicating position of the rotary valve 86 for passing the rubber plug 9 or the second indicating position of the rotary valve 86 for passing the cement slurry is indicated, and meanwhile, the stop cooperation of the limit pin and the arc-shaped long hole can limit the rotation angle of the rotary wrench 3, thereby playing a role of controlling the rotation angle of the rotary valve 86.
[0059] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in order to accurately judge whether the rubber plug 9 normally falls, in the embodiment, the rubber plug indicator 6 is fixedly arranged below the rotary valve 86 on the lower body 2. Specifically, the rubber plug indicator 6 comprises an indicator housing 62 fixedly connected with the lower body 2, a trigger rod 61 and a pin shaft 64; one end of the trigger rod 61 is hinged to the inside of the indicator housing 62 through the pin shaft 64, and the other end away from the hinged position extends into the flow channel and at least extends to the axis of the through hole 861 of the rotary valve 86; in the embodiment, the end of the trigger rod 61 away from the hinged position is beyond the axis of the through hole 861 of the rotary valve 86, so that the trigger rod 61 has sufficient contact area with the rubber plug 9. Wherein, the end of the trigger rod 61 cooperating with the pin shaft 64 is provided with a hexagonal hole, and correspondingly, the middle part of the pin shaft 64 is provided with an outer hexagonal structure cooperating with the hexagonal hole of the trigger rod 61, so that the pin shaft 64 and the trigger rod 61 can synchronously rotate; of course, the structure of the trigger rod 61 cooperating with the rotating shaft can be triangular, quadrangular or other relatively rotation-stopping structure, which is not limited in the embodiment. In the use process, the trigger rod 61 is turned over into the indicator housing 62 under the action of its own gravity and the rubber plug 9, so that the trigger rod 61 can be completely retracted, the rubber plug 9 is released by unblocking the rubber plug 9, the downward movement of the rubber plug 9 is not affected due to the trigger rod 61 not being opened in place, and the rubber plug 9 can be smoothly released.
[0060] In the embodiment, one end of the pin shaft 64 is fixedly installed with an indicating rod 63 capable of indicating the opening and closing of the trigger lever 61. Specifically, the indicating rod 63 is located outside the cement head body and is fixed on the pin shaft 64 through a thin nut, and the indicating rod 63 is arranged at 90° with the trigger lever 61. In use, when the trigger lever 61 is flipped to open, the pin shaft 64 rotates with the trigger lever 61 and drives the indicating rod 63 to rotate, so as to indicate the opening of the trigger lever 61; when the trigger lever 61 is reset, the pin shaft 64 is rotated by pulling the indicating rod 63 to flip the trigger lever 61 to reset. Through the position state change of the indicating rod 63, the cementing operator can timely know the opening state of the trigger lever 61, so as to correctly judge the falling condition of the rubber plug 9.
[0061] In order to ensure the sealing performance of the rotating fit between the pin shaft 64 and the indicator housing 62, in the embodiment, a plurality of third sealing rings 66 are arranged between the pin shaft 64 and the indicator housing 62 at the rotating fit position.
[0062] In order to facilitate the cleaning of cement and other sediments in the indicator housing 62, in the embodiment, the indicator housing 62 is further provided with a sand cleaning hole, and the sand cleaning hole is provided with a plug 65. In use, the sediments deposited in the indicator housing 62 can be cleaned through the sand cleaning hole, so as to avoid the jamming of the trigger lever 61 when rotating, which affects the judgment of the falling condition of the rubber plug 9, or the trigger lever 61 cannot be rotated to the position, which affects the downward movement of the rubber plug 9.
[0063] As shown in Figure 2 In order to improve the sealing performance after the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are connected, in the embodiment, a sealing structure is arranged between the lower body 2 and the upper body 1. Specifically, the lower body 2 is provided with a sealing groove at one end matched with the upper body 1, and the sealing groove is provided with a second sealing ring 13.
[0064] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the upper body 1 is provided with an injection by-nipple 7 above the rotary valve 86 and in communication with the upper flow channel 11. Specifically, the upper body 1 is provided with an injection port above the positioning pipe 81 and in communication with the flow channel, and the injection by-nipple 7 is connected to the injection port on the upper body 1 by welding. In other embodiments, the injection by-nipple 7 can be fixedly connected to the upper body 1 by threads or bolts. By connecting the external cementing pipeline through the injection by-nipple 7, the injection of various fluids is realized. Of course, as other embodiments, the injection by-nipple 7 can be in communication with the first annulus 12, and when the plug injection operation is performed, the injected fluid passes through the flow hole provided on the positioning pipe 81 into the first passage through the first annulus 12.
[0065] In the embodiment, the ball throwing mechanism 4 is arranged on the lower body 2 below the blocking pin mechanism 8, and specifically, the ball throwing mechanism 4 is arranged on the second small hole diameter section of the lower body 2. When the ball throwing operation is needed, the ball throwing mechanism 4 is used to throw the ball.
[0066] As shown in Figure 15 and 16 In the embodiment, the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are connected by a quick release structure; the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 each include a plug-in screwing section for plug-in screwing of the two, and the quick release structure is a locking block arranged on each plug-in screwing section for axial blocking after the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are screwed to avoid axial disconnection of the two. During operation, the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 can be tightly connected together by a simple rotating action, which simplifies the mounting and dismounting steps, improves the connection stability of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2, and also improves the operation efficiency of the mounting and dismounting of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2.
[0067] Specifically, the locking block includes a plurality of upper locking blocks 16 arranged on the inner wall of the plug-in screwing section of the upper body 1 in the circumferential direction and extending along the axial direction of the upper body 1, and a plurality of lower locking blocks 22 arranged on the outer periphery of the plug-in screwing section of the lower body 2 in the circumferential direction and extending along the axial direction of the lower body 2, and the lower end surface of the upper locking block 16 and the upper end surface of the lower locking block 22 axially stop after the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are rotated and abutted. After the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are plug-in screwed, the locking blocks arranged in the circumferential direction of the upper body 1 or the lower body 2 can ensure uniform stress during screwing; the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are axially blocked by the close contact of the lower end surface of the upper locking block 16 and the upper end surface of the lower locking block 22, which limits the relative movement of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 in the axial direction, thereby ensuring that the connection of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 remains stable when subjected to axial force, and also helps to optimize the stress distribution of the locking block, reduce stress concentration phenomenon, and improve the reliability and durability of the connection of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2.
[0068] The upper locking blocks 16 are arranged in four rows along the inner wall of the upper body 1 in the circumferential direction and are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the upper body. Each row has three upper locking blocks 16 evenly arranged along the axial extension direction of the upper body 1. Adjacent two groups of upper locking blocks 16 form upper spacing grooves extending along the axial direction of the upper body 1. The upper locking blocks 16 that are circumferentially adjacent and located at the same axial position are at an included angle of 90°. The lower locking blocks 22 are arranged in four rows along the outer wall of the lower body 2 corresponding to the upper locking blocks 16 in the circumferential direction and are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the lower body. Each row has three lower locking blocks 22 evenly arranged along the axial extension direction of the lower body 2. Adjacent two groups of lower locking blocks 22 form lower spacing grooves extending along the axial direction of the lower body 2. The lower locking blocks 22 that are circumferentially adjacent and located at the same axial position are at an included angle of 90°. The widths of the upper spacing grooves and the lower spacing grooves are equal to the width of the locking blocks, i.e., the widths of the upper locking blocks 16, the lower locking blocks 22, the upper spacing grooves, and the lower spacing grooves are 1 / 8 of the circumferential length of the upper body 1 or the lower body 2, so as to facilitate the locking blocks to pass through when the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are connected. In other embodiments, the upper locking blocks 16 and the lower locking blocks 22 can be evenly arranged in two rows, three rows, five rows, or other suitable number of rows in the circumferential direction. In this way, the upper locking blocks 16 or the lower locking blocks 22 that are adjacent and located at the same axial position can have different included angles. Meanwhile, each row of upper locking blocks 16 or lower locking blocks 22 can have two, four, or other suitable number of locking blocks arranged in the axial direction of the cement head body. It should be understood that the number of rows of upper locking blocks 16 and lower locking blocks 22 and the number of locking blocks arranged in each row can be reasonably selected as needed, and this embodiment does not limit the number of rows of upper locking blocks 16 and lower locking blocks 22 and the number of locking blocks arranged in each row. Through such an arrangement, a plurality of stable support points can be formed in the circumferential direction of the cement head body, which helps to enhance the connection stability of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 after abutting, ensures the uniformity of the stress of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2, effectively prevents deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress, and reduces the stress concentration phenomenon of a single locking block.
[0069] In order to avoid excessive rotation of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 during screwing, so as to ensure that the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 reach the correct preset position, the quick release structure further comprises limiting blocks arranged on the upper body 1 and the upper body 1 respectively to circumferentially block and limit the rotation limit positions of the two bodies. Specifically, the limiting blocks include an upper limiting block 17 arranged on the plug-in and screwing section of the upper body 1 and close to the end inner wall of the lower body 2, and a lower limiting block 23 arranged on the outer periphery of the plug-in and screwing section of the lower body 2 and away from one side of the upper body 1. The circumferential end faces of the upper limiting block 17 and the lower limiting block 23 respectively form circumferential stop end faces for limiting the rotation limit positions of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2. In the present embodiment, the upper limiting block 17 and the lower limiting block 23 are arranged corresponding to the locking blocks in the circumferential direction of the cement head body, and the circumferential width of the upper limiting block 17 and the lower limiting block 23 is preferably set to 1 / 2 of the width of the locking blocks. When the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are rotated to the preset position, the circumferential end faces of the upper limiting block 17 and the lower limiting block 23 abut against each other, thereby limiting the further rotation of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 in the circumferential direction, which helps to prevent the connection failure caused by excessive rotation of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2. The circumferential combined width of the upper limiting block 17 and the lower limiting block 23 when stopped is the same as the width of the upper locking block 16 or the lower locking block 22, which enhances the stability of the connection of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 and ensures the reliability of the cement head body during operation.
[0070] In the present embodiment, the axial width of the limiting block is greater than the axial width of the lock. In this way, the wider axial width of the limiting block can provide a larger contact area, thereby increasing the strength of the contact part and improving the safety of the overall structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the axial width of the limiting block is consistent with the axial width of the locking block, or the axial width of the limiting block is smaller than the axial width of the locking block.
[0071] During installation, the upper spacing groove of the upper body 1 corresponds to the lower locking block 22 of the lower body 2, or the lower spacing groove of the lower body 2 corresponds to the upper locking block 16 of the upper body 1, then the lower body 2 is inserted into the upper body 1 and rotated by a certain angle to make the circumferential end faces of the upper limiting block 17 and the lower limiting block 23 tightly contact, and at the same time the upper locking block 16 and the lower locking block 22 abut against each other to connect the upper body 1 and the lower body 2. In the present embodiment, since the upper locking block 16, the lower locking block 22 and the spacing groove have the same width, when the lower body 2 is inserted into the upper body 1, only 45° rotation is needed to achieve quick installation.
[0072] As Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, in the embodiment, a locking structure is arranged between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 to keep the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 at the rotation limit position, and specifically, the locking structure includes at least one limiting piece 5 fixed on one of the upper body and the lower body by a detachable fastener, and the other of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 is provided with a positioning groove for the limiting piece 5 to be embedded to stop rotation with the limiting piece 5 in the circumferential direction, and the shape of the positioning groove is matched with the shape of the limiting piece 5. After the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are connected by the locking block, the circumferential locking of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 is realized by the positioning groove arranged on the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 and the limiting piece 5 matched with the positioning groove, so as to ensure that the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 can keep a stable connection state after rotation abutting, and effectively prevent the connection from loosening due to vibration or impact during operation; at the same time, the cooperation with the positioning groove can be completed by inserting and pulling out the limiting piece 5, so as to realize the rotation limiting of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2, and the operation process is simple and fast, so that the installation and disassembly process of the cement head is more efficient, which helps to shorten the operation time and improve the overall work efficiency.
[0073] In the embodiment, the limiting piece 5 is provided with a through hole 51 penetrating in the radial direction of the cement head body, one of the upper body 1 or the lower body 2 is provided with a rotation stop groove 15, and the other one which is not provided with the rotation stop groove 15 is provided with a connecting hole 241 extending in the radial direction, and the fastener is connected through the through hole 51 and the connecting hole 241 to realize the fixation of the limiting piece 5. In this way, the limiting piece 5 is fixed in the rotation stop groove by the fastener, and only a single fastener needs to be disassembled and assembled to realize the insertion and pulling out of the limiting piece during installation and disassembly, so as to realize the rotation limiting and releasing of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2, and improve the installation and disassembly operation efficiency of the limiting piece 5; at the same time, the fastener improves the anti-rotation locking effect of the limiting piece 5, and enhances the stability of the connection between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2; and the through hole is arranged to enable the fastener to easily pass through and fix the limiting piece, and simplify the overall assembly process.
[0074] In the embodiment, the connecting hole 241 is a threaded hole, and the fastener is a screw matched with the threaded hole (not marked in the figure). The screw as the fastener matched with the threaded hole can realize a more firm locking effect of the limiting piece 5, so that the connection between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 is more reliable and stable.
[0075] In the embodiment, the through hole 51 provided on the limiting member 5 for the screw to pass through is a counterbore, and a fastener is arranged in the counterbore to fix the limiting member 5. The counterbore structure can effectively prevent the head of the screw from protruding from the surface of the cement head, thereby avoiding possible collision or damage and improving the neatness of the appearance of the cement head. At the same time, the counterbore structure can also help to increase the contact area between the fastener and the limiting member. The screw is used as the locking member to cooperate with the threaded hole, which can achieve more secure locking of the limiting member 5 and make the connection between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 more reliable and stable. At the same time, when the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 need to be assembled or disassembled, the fastener can be easily and quickly disassembled and assembled.
[0076] In the embodiment, the limiting member 5 has a disc-shaped structure. In this way, when the limiting member 5 is inserted into the rotation-stopping groove, the contact area with the rotation-stopping groove can be increased, and a uniform contact area can be provided to disperse stress and improve the strength and stability of the connection. When the fastener is tightened, the limiting member 5 is firmly pressed in the rotation-stopping groove, thereby effectively preventing rotation between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2.
[0077] As a further embodiment, the limiting member 5 is provided in three or more and is uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the cement head body. Specifically, the limiting member 5 is provided in four, and each limiting member is uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the cement head body. The plurality of limiting members 5 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction, which can achieve multi-point locking, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 and helping to prevent connection failure due to excessive stress on a single point. At the same time, when subjected to external force, the uniformly arranged limiting members 5 can evenly share the load, reduce stress concentration, and improve the durability of the connection. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting member can be provided in two or five, and it should be understood that the number of limiting members needs to be reasonably arranged according to the connection needs of the upper body and the lower body.
[0078] As a further embodiment, one of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 that does not have the rotation-stopping groove 15 is provided with a corresponding groove 24 that is in communication with the rotation-stopping groove 15 when the threaded segments of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are screwed into place, and the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 together form a positioning groove that is adapted to the shape of the limiting member 5. Specifically, either of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 has at least one rotation-stopping groove 15 on the end that contacts each other, and the other has a corresponding groove 24 that corresponds to the rotation-stopping groove 15 after the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are rotated and abutted. The rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 form a positioning groove after the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are screwed, and the shape of the positioning groove is adapted to the shape of the limiting member.
[0079] Specifically, the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 are both semicircular grooves. The semicircular groove structure can be easily processed and manufactured, and can help disperse the stress generated during the connection of the limiting piece 5, reduce stress concentration, facilitate the embedding of the limiting piece 5 into the positioning groove, and enable more accurate positioning.
[0080] In this embodiment, since the positioning groove is enclosed by the rotation-stopping groove 13 and the corresponding groove 24, in order to ensure that the fastener can be effectively connected to the upper body 1 or the lower body 2 when fixing the limiting piece 5, the through hole 51 provided on the limiting piece 5 for the fastener to pass through is an eccentric hole.
[0081] In this embodiment, the end of the upper body 1 connected to the lower body 2 is provided with the rotation-stopping groove 15 corresponding to the upper locking block 16, and the rotation-stopping groove 13 passes through the hole wall of the upper body 1, i.e., it is a through groove. The lower body 2 is provided with the corresponding groove 24 corresponding to the lower locking block 22 at the abutting position of the upper body 1. Specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the lower body 2 is stepped, including a large-diameter section with an outer diameter larger than the plug-in screwing section, and the corresponding groove 24 is a blind groove provided on the large-diameter section. The corresponding groove 24 is provided with a connecting hole 241 for screw cooperation. In order to ensure the connection effect, the connecting hole 241 is eccentrically arranged. When the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are connected by screwing and plugging, the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 are accurately aligned and combined into a complete positioning groove. Of course, in other embodiments, when the connection form of the upper body 1 inserted into the lower body 2 is adopted, the rotation-stopping groove 15 can be arranged on the lower body 2, and the corresponding groove 24 can be arranged on the upper body 1. Such an arrangement divides the pin hole into the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 and arranges them on the upper body 1 and the lower body 2, respectively, which helps to improve the compactness of the structure. When the fastening screw is inserted into the complete positioning groove composed of the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24, it will pass through the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 at the same time, and through the limiting piece 5 to firmly connect the two together, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection and preventing loosening due to vibration or other reasons. At the same time, since the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 are pre-set, during use, the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 only need to be rotated to the correct position to complete the alignment and connection, without the need for additional hole alignment or adjustment operations, thereby simplifying the installation steps and improving the work efficiency.
[0082] To further improve the connection stability of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 after abutting, in the embodiment, the projection of the positioning groove and the corresponding lock block in the axial direction of the cement head body has an overlapping part. Specifically, the centers of the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 are located on the extension line of the center line of the corresponding lock block, that is, the arrangement of the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 in the circumferential direction of the cement head body is consistent with the arrangement of the lock block in the circumferential direction of the cement head body, that is, the number of the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 is consistent with the number of the corresponding lock block column. In this way, during the rotation and abutting of the upper body 1 and the lower body 2, the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24 can be conveniently aligned and combined, and the connection problems caused by misalignment can be effectively prevented; at the same time, when the limiting piece 5 is inserted into the positioning groove combined by the rotation-stopping groove 15 and the corresponding groove 24, since the center of the positioning groove coincides with the center line of the lock block, the limiting piece can better bear and disperse the shear force generated during the connection process, which helps to reduce the stress concentration and the potential damage risk; it is also helpful to simplify the design and manufacturing process of the pin hole and the lock block.
[0083] As shown in Figures 1 to 13 Based on the structure description of the cement head described above, the assembly process of the cement head provided by the utility model is briefly described as follows:
[0084] 1) Assemble the rotary valve 86. Install the bearing 84 at the axial ends of the rotary valve 86 of the rotary valve 8, place the combined rotary valve 86 on the support pipe 85, then place the positioning pipe 81 above the rotary valve 86, and then connect the first valve seat 87 and the second valve seat 82 with the support pipe 85 and the positioning pipe 81 respectively.
[0085] 2) Assemble the external components. Weld the ball throwing mechanism 4 and the indicator housing 62 to the lower body 2 respectively, and weld the injection by the ren 7 to the upper body 1.
[0086] 3) Assemble the rotary wrench 3 and the rotary valve 86. Assemble the first sealing ring on the rotary wrench 3, then assemble the rotary wrench 3 on the lower body 2; assemble the rotary valve 86 assembled in step (1) into the lower body 2, and make the axial end of the rotary valve 86 cooperate with the rotary wrench 3; assemble the state indicating disc 31, and adjust the position of the state indicating disc 31 to make it consistent with the state of the rotary valve 86, and assemble the limiting pin.
[0087] 4) Assemble the rubber plug indicator 6. Assemble the trigger lever 61 to the indicator housing 62 through the pin shaft 64, assemble the indicating rod 63 to the pin shaft 64, and adjust the indicating rod 63 to make the trigger lever 61 in a horizontal state.
[0088] 5) Assemble the upper body 1 and the lower body 2. Put the rubber plug 9 into the positioning pipe 81 of the blocking pin mechanism 8, insert the lower body 2 assembled in step (3) into the upper body 1, and connect the lower body 6 and the upper body 1.
[0089] After assembly, the trigger lever 61 of the cement head is in a closed state, the first channel for plug placement operation is in a closed state, and the second channel for grouting operation is in an open state.
[0090] Reference Figures 2 to 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 Based on the structure description of the cement head, the use process of the cement head is briefly described as follows.
[0091] During grouting operation, the through hole 861 of the rotary valve 86 is not communicated with the upper flow channel 11 and the lower flow channel 21, and the rubber plug 9 remains in the assembled position; the upper flow channel 11 is communicated with the lower flow channel 21 through the first flow hole 811, the first annular space 12, the second channel, the second annular space 14 and the second flow hole 851; when the spacer fluid and the cement slurry are injected through the injection by the nozzle 7, the fluid enters the downhole through the upper flow channel 11, the first flow hole 811, the first annular space 12, the second channel, the second annular space 14, the second flow hole 851 and the lower flow channel 21.
[0092] During plug placement operation, on the basis of the state of the rotary valve 86 during the aforementioned grouting operation, the rotary wrench 3 is rotated by 90° to make the first channel of the rotary valve 86 communicated with the upper flow channel 11 and the lower flow channel 21, and the second channel is closed; when the spacer fluid (generally clean water) enters through the injection by the nozzle 7, the spacer fluid enters the inner cavity of the positioning pipe 81 through the upper flow channel 11, drives the rubber plug 9 to move downward, and then moves downward through the through hole 861, the inner cavity of the support pipe 85 and the lower flow channel 21 to enter the downhole, thereby realizing plug placement.
