DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear and obvious, the following will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] The specific implementation of the utility model will be described in detail in combination with specific examples.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The horizontal well fracturing packer provided by the utility model embodiment includes: a butt joint 1.

[0028] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The butt joint 1 is provided with two, the end of the two butt joints 1 is provided with a fixedly connected butt joint pipe 2, the opposite end of the two butt joint pipes 2 is provided with a same fixedly connected adapter pipe 3, and the outside of the adapter pipe 3 is provided with a telescopic assembly 4; the telescopic assembly 4 includes a sliding cylinder 41, the sliding cylinder 41 includes two and is symmetrically distributed on the two butt joint pipes 2, the inner wall of the sliding cylinder 41 is slidably connected with the outer wall of the butt joint pipe 2, and a same rubber cylinder 411 is fixedly installed between the two sliding cylinders 41, and a plurality of uniformly distributed through holes 31 are formed in the inside of the adapter pipe 3.

[0029] It should be noted that: since the rubber cylinder 411 in the telescopic assembly 4 is fixedly connected with the two sliding cylinders 41, and the sliding cylinder 41 is slidably connected through the sliding ring 42, in the subsequent use process, when the inside of the rubber cylinder 411 is injected with gas to make it expand, the rubber cylinder 411 can pull the two sliding cylinders 41 and the sliding ring 42, realize bilateral sliding, and thus the deformation of the rubber cylinder 411 is more uniform, and compared with unilateral sliding, the probability of damage of the rubber cylinder 411 due to uneven stress on both sides can be reduced;

[0030] The specific inflation process of the rubber tube 411 is that when high-pressure gas is injected into the rubber tube 411 through the through hole 31 in the adapter pipe 3, the rubber tube 411 will spread and inflate outward, i.e., away from the center of the adapter pipe 3, as the gas pressure in the rubber tube 411 increases, so that the outer diameter of the rubber tube 411 can be increased, and in the late stage of the inflation of the rubber tube 411, when the force required for continuous inflation is greater than the friction force between the end and the sliding ring 42 and the adapter pipe 2 and the guide ring 43, the sliding ring 42 will be pulled to slide along the guide ring 43, and when the sliding ring 42 moves to abut against the inner end of the limiting half ring 5, the rubber tube 411 will continue to inflate as the gas pressure continues to be injected, until the internal pressure of the rubber tube 411 reaches a set value, so that the rubber tube 411 is completely inflated, and then the gas injection is stopped to realize the sealing of the pipeline.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The outer part of the sliding cylinder 41 is provided with a fixedly connected sliding ring 42, the inner wall of the sliding ring 42 is slidably connected with the outer wall of the corresponding adapter pipe 2, the outer part of the sliding ring 42 is provided with a slidably connected guide ring 43, the guide ring 43 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the corresponding adapter pipe 2, a plurality of recesses for slidingly guiding the sliding ring 42 are formed in the inner wall of the guide ring 43, a plurality of positioning holes 431 are formed in the outer wall of the guide ring 43 in a symmetrical manner, two symmetrical limiting half rings 5 are sleeved on the outer part of the same guide ring 43, and the two limiting half rings 5 on the same guide ring 43 are fixedly connected through bolts, a fixedly connected positioning block 51 is arranged in the inner part of the limiting half ring 5, the outer wall of the positioning block 51 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning hole 431, and the inner wall of the limiting half ring 5 close to one end of the sliding cylinder 41 abuts against and slidably connects with the outer wall of the corresponding sliding cylinder 41.

[0032] It should be noted that through the abutment of the positioning block 51 and the positioning hole 431, the quick positioning and installation of the two limiting half rings 5 can be realized when the limiting half ring 5 is installed, so that the two connected limiting half rings 5 can smoothly form a complete limiting ring, thereby realizing the blocking of the sliding track of the sliding ring 42 in the later stage, so that the sliding ring 42 can be stably located in the guide ring 43, and because the recesses are formed in the inner part of the guide ring 43, the sliding track of the sliding ring 42 can be guided by the recesses when the sliding ring 42 slides, so that the phenomenon of rotation of the sliding ring 42 in the guide ring 43 can be avoided, thereby making the inflation track of the rubber tube 411 more stable and reducing the phenomenon of distortion of the rubber tube 411.

[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7The outer wall of the two butt pipes 2 is sleeved with a fixedly connected supporting ring 6, the auxiliary rod 7 is arranged between the two supporting rings 6, the two ends of the auxiliary rod 7 are fixedly connected with the mounting blocks 71, and the mounting blocks 71 are fixedly connected with the supporting rings 6 through bolts.

[0034] It should be noted that: through the setting of the auxiliary rod 7, the auxiliary rod 7 can be erected and connected before the rubber tube 411 is disassembled and installed, so that the positions of the two butt pipes 2 remain stable after the adapter pipe 3 is disassembled from between the butt pipes 2, and then when the replacement of the rubber tube 411 is completed, the alignment of the adapter pipe 3 and the butt pipe 2 is more convenient.

[0035] The working principle of the horizontal well fracturing packer is as follows:

[0036] When the device is used, the device is first installed in the wellbore, and then the device is pressurized, and the pressurized gas fills the rubber tube 411 through the through hole 31, so that the rubber tube 411 expands until the outer wall of the expanded rubber tube 411 contacts the well wall to realize sealing, and in the use process, the two ends of the rubber tube 411 are connected with the fixed sliding tube 41, and the sliding tube 41 is slidingly installed, so that when the rubber tube 411 expands, the sliding tube 41 at both ends is driven to slide synchronously, and the sliding contraction on both sides is realized, so that the rubber tube 411 can be more uniform in the use process.

[0037] And because the outer wall of the rubber tube 411 will be worn due to friction in the use process, when the rubber tube 411 needs to be replaced later, the auxiliary rod 7 can be taken out after the device is taken out, and the auxiliary rod 7 is fixedly connected between the mounting block 71 and the supporting ring 6, then the bolts connecting the limiting half ring 5 are loosened to disassemble the limiting half ring 5, so that the sliding track of the sliding tube 41 is limited, then the sliding tube 41 is pushed to make it come out from the corresponding sliding ring 42, and when the sliding tube 41 slides out, the adapter pipe 3 inside the rubber tube 411 is exposed;

[0038] Then the bolts between the adapter pipe 3 and the butt pipe 2 are loosened to disassemble the adapter pipe 3, so that the two butt pipes 2 can be smoothly separated, at this time the sliding tube 41 and the rubber tube 411 can be taken out from the gap between the two butt pipes 2, and then the rubber tube 411 can be disassembled and replaced by the worker.

[0039] The above are only embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
