They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] This utility model provides a novel variable-diameter anti-sticking oil and gas well tool string, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes: a connector 1, a safety sub 2, a stabilizer 3, a water jet tool 4, a balance valve 5, a track changer packer 6, a coupling positioner 7, and a guide sub 8, all threaded from top to bottom. The track changer packer 6 includes: a first center rod 601, with a stepped shaft 602 at the upper end of the first center rod 601. The first center rod 601 and the balance valve 5 are threaded together. An upper cone 603, a rubber sleeve 604, and a lower cone 605 are sequentially fitted onto the upper end of the first center rod 601. An upper sheath 606 is provided on the upper cone 603, and the upper cone 603 and the upper sheath 606 are connected by a first shear pin 607. A lower sheath 608 is provided on the lower cone 605, and the lower cone 605 and the lower sheath 608 are connected by a second shear pin 609. The tool string is installed inside the casing for fracturing, delamination acidizing, water injection, or leak detection. Patent CN211287654U describes the specific structure and function of connector 1, safety sub 2, stabilizer 3, hydraulic jetting tool 4, and guide sub 8, and also describes the construction process and working principle of the tool string, which will not be repeated here. The balancing valve 5 is used to actively balance the pressure at the upper and lower ends to ensure operational safety. Before removing the packer, the balancing valve connects the pressure at the upper and lower ends of the packer to prevent damage to the rubber sleeve due to excessive pressure difference during unsealing.

[0026] The working principle and beneficial technical effects of the above technical solution are: the position of the maximum radial dimension of the whole variable gauge packer 6 is at the upper cone 603 and the lower cone 605, when the casing is deformed, if the casing deformation position is stuck with the upper cone 603 and cannot pass, the pipe string cannot be pulled out, with the pulling up of the pipe string, the shear force between the upper cone 603 and the upper sleeve 606 becomes larger and larger, until the first shear nail 607 is sheared, the upper cone 603 can continue to be pulled up with the pipe string, and the upper cone 603 and the upper sleeve 606 are separated, since the upper sleeve 606 is a thin-walled structure, the equivalent diameter becomes smaller, and the casing deformation position is passed smoothly. Similarly, if the casing is stuck at the cone 605 and the lower sleeve 608, the second shear nail 609 will also be sheared by the shear force, so that the pipe string can pass through the deformed casing smoothly, and the shear nail and the sleeve can be replaced again, which is convenient for maintenance and improves the construction efficiency.

[0027] In one embodiment, the lower end of the first central rod 601 is threadedly connected with the lower joint 610, and the upper end of the first central rod 601 is threadedly connected with the upper end of the balance valve 5, facilitating installation and disassembly.

A reversing ring 618 is arranged at the lower end of the friction block body 611, a reversing pin 619 is arranged inside the reversing ring 618, long grooves 620 and short grooves 621 are arranged alternately on the outer wall of the first central rod 601, the lower ends of the long grooves 620 and the short grooves 621 are communicated through a Y-shaped groove 622, and the reversing pin 619 slides in the long grooves 620, the short grooves 621 and the Y-shaped groove 622. A slip seat 623 is sleeved on the first central rod 601 between the lower cone 605 and the first limit tube 616, the lower end of the slip seat 623 is threadedly connected with the first limit tube 616, slips 624 are arranged outside the slip seat 623, the slip seat 623 and the slips 624 are connected through springs 625, the lower end of each slip 624 is clamped in the first limit tube 616, a gap is arranged between the upper end of each slip 624 and the lower cone 605, each slip 624 is sleeved with a slip ring 626, and the slip ring 626 is connected with the slip seat 623. A hollow channel 627 is arranged in the first central rod 601, a cleaning port 628 is arranged on the outer wall of the first central rod 601, and the hollow channel 627 is communicated with the cleaning port 628. After the construction is completed, sand will be left in the tool, and the sand will be carried away by the water flowing through the hollow channel 627 and the cleaning port 628 through pumping of the cleaning fluid, so as to play a cleaning role.

[0028] The working principle and beneficial technical effects of the above technical solution are: in the process of moving downward, the variable track packer 6 is provided with elastic force by the first arc spring 614, so that the friction block 613 extends outward to generate friction with the inner wall of the casing, but can move downward along the casing; when the position of construction sealing is required to be moved, the first center rod 601 is lifted and then lowered, and the reversing pin 619 slides along the short groove 621, the Y-shaped groove 622 and the long groove 620, so that the reversing pin 619 slides from the short groove 621 into the long groove 620, the first center rod 601 can move more displacement downward relative to the slip 624, so that the lower cone 605 is inserted into the slip 624, the slip 624 rotates around the slip ring 626, the slip 624 is expanded, the radius of the slip 624 is increased, the teeth on the slip 624 are clamped on the inner wall of the casing to complete the sealing, at the same time, the upper cone 603 moves downward along the first center rod 601, the rubber cylinder 604 is extruded, the radius is increased and is attached to the inner wall of the casing to further seal and improve the sealing performance. When unsealing is required, the first center rod 601 is lifted, the rubber cylinder 604 is restored, the spring 625 provides elastic force to make the slip 624 retract, so that the sealing is released, and the pipe string is moved downward, the reversing pin 619 is switched from the long groove 620 to the short groove 621, the lower cone 605 cannot be inserted into the slip 624, the teeth of the slip 624 cannot be clamped on the inner wall of the casing, and the pipe string can continue to move, which is convenient for construction and has high efficiency.

The positioning claw 702 is clamped into the interval between the two casings through the elastic force of the second arc spring 703, so that when the pipe string is lifted, there is a certain tonnage fluctuation when the positioning claw 702 passes through the gap of the casing each time, and the depth is calibrated by comparing the depth of tonnage fluctuation with the actual coupling depth to position the depth of the pipe string.

[0030] The working principle and beneficial technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows: if the sleeve deforms, the positioning claw 702 cannot be retracted in time, and there is a risk of sticking the drill, the first sleeve 704, the first limiting sleeve 705, the positioning claw 702, the second limiting sleeve 707 and the second sleeve 706 are connected together and sleeved on the second center rod 701, and are fixed on the second center rod 701 through the third shear pin 709, when the second center rod 701 is lifted, if the positioning claw 702 cannot be retracted in time and the lifting tonnage is too large, only the third shear pin 709 needs to be cut off, and the second center rod 701 can move upward, the second arc spring 703 falls into the reduced-diameter groove 708, the spring loses the action of restoring the shape, the positioning claw 702 retracts, and the function of preventing the drill from being stuck is achieved.

[0031] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of the present application belong to the scope of the claims of the present application and the equivalent technology, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
