Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to geothermal well pipe technical field, concretely is a combined inner tube suitable for middle deep geothermal well. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, during the development and utilization of middle deep geothermal well, coaxial casing pipe technology is widely used. This casing pipe system is usually composed of outer pipe and inner tube, wherein the outer pipe is mostly seamless steel pipe, which is used to provide structural support and protection. The inner tube, on the other hand, undertakes the important task of transporting geothermal fluid, and the selection of its material is directly related to the operating efficiency and safety of the geothermal well.

[0003] In the selection of inner tube material, there are currently two main types: PE pipe and PE-RT III pipe. PE pipe has the advantages of lower cost and easy processing, and performs well in low temperature environments (temperature below 40℃). However, when the bottom temperature of the geothermal well rises to about 90℃, the material structure and physical properties of the PE pipe will change, leading to a shorter service life of the pipe and even possible rupture, thereby causing safety hazards.

[0004] In contrast, PE-RT III pipe has higher high-temperature resistance (service temperature up to 110℃), which can meet the long-term use requirements of middle deep geothermal wells under high temperature conditions. However, the material price of PE-RT III pipe is relatively high, which directly leads to an increase in the investment cost of geothermal wells.

[0005] Therefore, the technical personnel in the art propose a combined inner tube suitable for middle deep geothermal wells to solve the problems raised in the background technology. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a combined inner tube suitable for middle deep geothermal wells, which selects materials according to the actual temperature distribution of the geothermal well, ensuring the stability and durability of the inner tube under high temperature conditions. It avoids problems such as pipe rupture and aging caused by the inadaptability of materials to high temperature environments.

[0008] The sleeve mechanism is arranged on the outer side of the upper flange sleeve and the lower flange sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeving mechanism comprises an upper flange body and a lower flange body, the upper flange body and the lower flange body are sleeved outside the upper flange sleeve and the lower flange sleeve, the inner sides of the lower flange body and the upper flange body are threadedly connected together through a plurality of connecting bolts, and a plurality of water pipes are further arranged on the outer sides of the upper flange body and the lower flange body.

[0010] Preferably, the water pipes are evenly arranged on the inner sides of the lower flange body and the upper flange body and used for passing water.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages of the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By adopting the combined design, different materials can be selected to manufacture different parts of the inner pipe. For the area with lower temperature, the PE pipe with lower cost can be selected; for the well bottom area with higher temperature, the PE-RT II pipe or other high-temperature resistant materials can be selected. The design effectively reduces the overall material cost and improves the economy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
