TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil exploitation, in particular to a downhole cyclone gas-guiding liquid-boosting plunger valve assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of oil and gas well development, when the oil or gas production in the well is low and the pressure in the well is insufficient, a large amount of liquid cannot be lifted to the ground, which will form a certain height of liquid accumulation at the bottom of the well, thereby reducing the productivity of the oil and gas well, and even causing the oil and gas well to stop flowing.
[0003] The plunger is a commonly used liquid lifting device. In the open well state, the plunger ascends and lifts the liquid accumulation above it upward to discharge to the outside of the oil and gas well. In the closed well state, the plunger descends to the bottom of the well. In this way, the liquid accumulation at the bottom of the well is continuously lifted.
[0004] However, in the process of liquid lifting, the gas mixed in the liquid hinders the lifting of the liquid, reducing the efficiency of the liquid lifting. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0005] In order to improve the flow speed of the liquid, the present application provides a downhole cyclone gas-guiding liquid-boosting plunger valve assembly.
[0006] The downhole cyclone gas-guiding liquid-boosting plunger valve assembly provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, the plunger rod slides in the cylinder body, thereby changing the distance between the first flow-blocking assembly and the second flow-blocking assembly. When the plunger rod slides towards the inside of the cylinder body, the first flow-blocking assembly is closed and the second flow-blocking assembly is opened, and the liquid inside the plunger rod is squeezed and flows out through the second flow-blocking assembly. When the plunger rod slides away from the cylinder body, the first flow-blocking assembly is opened and the second flow-blocking assembly is closed, and the liquid outside flows into the inside of the cylinder body and the plunger rod under the action of the pressure difference. In this process, the gas-guiding assembly concentrates and guides the gas mixed in the liquid, reduces the obstruction of the gas to the hydraulic flow into or out of the inside of the cylinder body and the plunger rod, and thereby improves the flow speed of the liquid.
[0009] Optionally, the first flow resistance component comprises a first flow resistance ring arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder body, and a piston is arranged on one side of the first flow resistance ring close to the plunger rod to block the first flow resistance ring; the second flow resistance component comprises a second flow resistance ring arranged in the plunger rod, and a piston is arranged on one side of the second flow resistance ring away from the cylinder body to block the second flow resistance ring.
[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the plunger rod slides into the cylinder body, the pressure in the cylinder body and the plunger rod increases, the piston on the second flow resistance ring is pushed out and separated from the second flow resistance ring, at this time, the liquid in the cylinder body and the plunger rod flows out through the second flow resistance ring, when the plunger rod slides out of the cylinder body, the piston on the second flow resistance ring is pressed at the second flow resistance ring to block the second flow resistance ring, at the same time, the pressure in the cylinder body and the plunger rod decreases, the piston on the first flow resistance ring is extruded by the outside to separate from the first flow resistance ring, and the outside liquid enters the cylinder body and the plunger rod through the first flow resistance ring, so as to repeat the above process to realize the rapid flow of the liquid.
[0011] Optionally, the gas guide component comprises a gas guide pipe opposite the center of the first flow resistance ring or the second flow resistance ring, and a connecting plate is arranged on the periphery of the gas guide pipe and fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder body or the plunger rod.
[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, the gas guide pipe is located at the center, so that the gas can be collected at the center and flow through the gas guide pipe, the gas and the liquid are separated, the flow resistance of the liquid is reduced, and the flow speed of the liquid is improved.
[0013] Optionally, the connecting plates are arranged in a spiral shape, and the connecting plates on the same gas guide pipe have the same spiral direction.
[0014] By adopting the above technical scheme, the spiral connecting plates provide a guide function for the liquid, so that the liquid moves spirally, the gas is separated to the center position and flows through the gas guide pipe, thereby forming an air channel, further improving the degree of gas-liquid separation, and reducing the resistance of the gas to the flow of the liquid.
[0015] Optionally, a plurality of through holes are arranged on the periphery of the gas guide pipe, and the through holes are in communication between the inside and the outside of the gas guide pipe.
[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the gas separated from the liquid can enter the gas guide pipe through the through holes, and the plurality of through holes can collect more gas, so as to reduce the content of the gas in the liquid and improve the flow speed of the liquid.
[0017] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] The gas guide component concentrates and guides the mixed gas in the liquid, reduces the resistance of the gas to the flow of the liquid into or out of the cylinder body and the plunger rod, and further improves the flow speed of the liquid.
[0019] The helical connecting plate and the gas guide pipe with the through hole separate the gas and liquid, the outside is the rotating flow liquid, and the inside is the gas channel, so that the liquid can quickly pass through the first flow resistance ring and the second flow resistance ring, thereby improving the flow speed of the liquid.

[0025] The plunger rod 2 reciprocally slides in the cylinder body 1, in this process, the first flow resistance assembly 3 and the second flow resistance assembly 4 are close to or away from each other, when the plunger rod 2 slides towards the inside of the cylinder body 1, the first flow resistance assembly 3 is closed, the second flow resistance assembly 4 is opened, the liquid in the inside of the plunger rod 2 is extruded and flows out through the second flow resistance assembly 4, when the plunger rod 2 slides away from the cylinder body 1, the first flow resistance assembly 3 is opened, the second flow resistance assembly 4 is closed, the liquid outside flows into the inside of the cylinder body 1 and the plunger rod 2 under the action of the pressure difference, in this process, the gas and liquid are separated by the gas guide assembly 5 at the first flow resistance assembly 3 and the second flow resistance assembly 4, so that the gas mixed in the liquid is concentrated and guided, the obstruction of the gas to the hydraulic flow into or out of the inside of the cylinder body 1 and the plunger rod 2 is reduced, and the liquid can quickly pass through the first flow resistance assembly 3 or the second flow resistance assembly 4.
[0026] The first flow resistance assembly 3 comprises a first flow resistance ring 31 fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, which is arranged obliquely on the inner wall of the side of the plunger rod 2 close to the first flow resistance ring 31, and further comprises a spherical piston 32 abutting on the oblique inner wall of the first flow resistance ring 31 to block the first flow resistance ring 31, and the second flow resistance assembly 4 comprises a second flow resistance ring 41 fixed on the inside of the plunger rod 2, which is identical in structure to the first flow resistance ring 31 and is also blocked by the spherical piston 32, and further comprises a limiting block mounted on the end of the plunger rod 2 to prevent the piston 32 from being separated, and the limiting block is provided with a flow guide hole.
[0027] When the plunger rod 2 slides into the cylinder body 1, the pressure inside the cylinder body 1 and the plunger rod 2 increases, the piston 32 on the second flow resistance ring 41 is pushed out and separated from the second flow resistance ring 41, at this time, the liquid inside the cylinder body 1 and the plunger rod 2 flows out through the second flow resistance ring, and flows out of the plunger rod 2 through the flow guide hole, when the plunger rod 2 slides out of the cylinder body 1, the piston 32 on the second flow resistance ring 41 is pressed on the second flow resistance ring 41 to block the second flow resistance ring 41, at the same time, the pressure inside the cylinder body 1 and the plunger rod 2 decreases, the piston 32 on the first flow resistance ring 31 is extruded by the outside, so that the piston 32 is separated from the first flow resistance ring 31, and the outside liquid enters the inside of the cylinder body 1 and the plunger rod 2 through the first flow resistance ring 31, so as to realize the rapid flow of the liquid.
