[0036] The opening and closing of the variable-diameter friction block 4 are controlled by the relaxation and tightening of the annular rubber structure 3.

[0037] The position where the outer periphery of the annular rubber structure 3 contacts the piston structure 7 is provided with a lower wear-resistant lining 6, a top cover 12 is arranged above the shell 8, and an upper limiting bush 1 is arranged on the inner periphery of the top cover 12 through a fastener 13.

[0038] A first sealing ring 2 is arranged on the contact surface between the inner periphery of the top cover 12 and the upper limiting bush 1, and the top cover 12 is supported and installed on the upper end of the shell 8 through a matched cover-shaped nut 14 and a double-headed bolt 15.

[0039] The annular rubber structure 3 is tightened through the cooperation and extrusion of the lower wear-resistant lining 6 and the upper limiting bush 1.

[0042] A third sealing ring 19 is arranged on the contact surface between the combination ring 17 and the inner side of the shell 8.

[0043] Because of the above structure, the working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0044] The variable-diameter friction block is assembled into an annular shape through grooves and protrusions on the plane, and is connected by the annular rubber structure.

[0045] Under the upward action of the piston structure, the annular rubber structure is extruded, the variable-diameter friction block is inwardly contracted, the continuous oil pipe is tightly held, the continuous oil pipe is stopped through friction, and the suspension state of the oil pipe can be maintained for a long time through pressure maintaining of the oil path.

[0046] The piston structure moves downward, the compressed annular rubber structure can be automatically reset, the variable-diameter friction block is opened, and the oil pipe is loosened.

[0047] When the variable-diameter friction block is in the open state, the annular rubber structure is in the relaxed state, at this time, the upper oil path is filled with oil, and the piston is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell.

[0048] When the lower part of the piston structure is filled with oil, the piston structure moves upward, the upper limiting bush is extruded with the lower wear-resistant lining, the variable-diameter friction block is contracted to the center under the guidance of the grooves and protrusions of the framework, the annular inner diameter of the variable-diameter friction block is contracted under the guidance of the grooves and protrusions, and the variable-diameter friction block tightly holds the continuous oil pipe.

[0049] When the oil path is pressure maintained, the variable-diameter friction block can maintain the open or closed state.

[0050] The continuous tubing stopper can be connected with the blowout preventer and the blowout box through the upper thread and the lower flange.

[0051] According to different requirements of the friction force of the continuous tubing under actual working conditions, the plurality of continuous tubing stoppers can be connected.

[0052] The variable-diameter friction block is made of metal material. The hard friction of the annular clamping with the outer wall of the continuous tubing during the stopping does not damage the surface of the continuous tubing and can withstand the high temperature and abrasion generated by the friction.

[0053] The hard friction of the annular clamping with the outer wall of the continuous tubing does not damage the surface of the continuous tubing and can withstand the high temperature and abrasion generated by the friction. Meanwhile, the operation is not affected during the running and lowering of the continuous tubing, and the continuous tubing of different specifications within a certain size range can be compatible.

[0054] The shell and the piston structure adopt an annular structure, the piston thrust is large, and after extruding the annular rubber and the variable-diameter friction block, a large positive pressure can be applied to the outer wall of the continuous tubing to provide sufficient friction force for stopping the continuous tubing.
