[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0026] according to Figs. 1-3 The drilling cementing throttling device shown includes an upper connecting part 1, a slip seat 3, a sealing installation mechanism 6, a rubber sleeve 5, a lower connecting part 2, and a central tube 4. The rubber sleeve 5 is connected to the top of the lower connecting part 2, and the upper end of the rubber sleeve 5 is connected to the upper connecting part 1 through the sealing installation mechanism 6. The central tube 4 passes through the upper connecting part 1 and the rubber sleeve 5 and connects to the lower connecting part 2. The central tube 4 pulls the lower connecting part 2, causing the rubber sleeve 5 to move up and down, thereby achieving throttling and pressure reduction. The central tube 4 drives the lower connecting part 2 to move up and down within the rubber sleeve 5, achieving throttling and pressure reduction. Through the sealing design between the upper connecting part 1 and the rubber sleeve 5, good sealing performance can be maintained even under high pressure or vibration environments, effectively preventing fluid leakage through the gap between the rubber sleeve 5 and the upper connecting part 1, and ensuring the throttling effect of the throttling device.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Fig. 3 As shown, the rubber sleeve 5 is an integral structure composed of an upper annular section and a lower frustum. The rubber sleeve 5 has an inner cavity 7 along its axial direction, which includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The diameter of the inner cavity 7 gradually increases from top to bottom. The central tube 4 slides and seals vertically in the first segment. The top end of the lower connecting part 2 penetrates the bottom surface of the rubber sleeve 5 and extends upwards to fit into the third segment of the inner cavity 7. In this embodiment, the lower connecting part 2 is an integral structure consisting of four segments from top to bottom: the first segment is a cylindrical segment, the second segment is a frustum segment with a smaller top and a larger bottom, the third segment is a cylindrical segment, and the fourth segment is a frustum segment with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The outer diameter of the first cylindrical segment is smaller than the outer diameter of the third cylindrical segment, and the outer diameter of the first cylindrical segment matches the inner diameter of the third segment of the inner cavity 7. The shape of the lower connecting part 2 is not unique, as long as the diameter of the upper part intersecting the rubber sleeve 5 is smaller than the diameter of the lower part.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Fig. 3 As shown, a support spring 701 is provided in the inner cavity 7 of the rubber tube 5. The outer diameter of the support spring 701 is adapted to the inner diameter of the second hole section of the inner cavity 7. The top end of the support spring 701 is fixedly connected to the central tube 4, and the bottom end of the support spring 701 is fixedly connected to the top end of the lower connecting part 2.
[0029] The central tube 4 compresses the support spring 701, and the support spring 701 generates an elastic force that pulls the lower connecting part 2, causing the rubber sleeve 5 to move up and down, facilitating subsequent throttling operations. In the specific working process, a special tool applies force to the support spring 701 through the central tube 4, achieving the compression and release of the support spring 701. The compression of the support spring 701 causes the rubber sleeve 5 to contract, keeping it away from the inner wall of the oil pipe. The release of the support spring 701 causes the rubber sleeve 5 to expand, ensuring that the outer bottom surface of the rubber sleeve 5 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the oil pipe, preventing fluid from flowing outwards through the outer wall of the rubber sleeve 5. The fluid enters the throttle device through the throttling orifice of the air nozzle structure and flows upwards along the internal pipeline of the throttle device.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Fig. 2 As shown, the top of the rubber tube 5 is provided with an installation groove 602 and a sealing groove 603. The inner wall of the installation groove 602 is provided with an internal thread. The sealing installation mechanism 6 is threadedly connected to the installation groove 602 to press and seal the installation groove 603.
[0031] Furthermore, a sealing spring 606 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom end inside the sealing groove 603. A sealing strip 607 is connected to the top of the sealing spring 606. The outer surface of the sealing strip 607 slides in a sealing fit with the inner wall of the sealing groove 603. The sealing spring 606 is symmetrically distributed in a ring shape about the inner wall of the bottom end of the sealing groove 603. The sealing spring 606 supports the sealing strip 607, reduces the compressive contact force applied by the sealing ring block 605 to the sealing strip 607, ensures the sealing effect of the sealing strip 607, and thus achieves a good sealing installation between the upper connecting part 1 and the lower connecting part 2.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Fig. 2As shown, the sealing installation mechanism 6 includes a mounting ring block 601, a mounting ring 604, and a sealing ring block 605; the mounting ring block 601 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper connecting part 1; the outer surface of the mounting ring block 601 is provided with a friction layer, which can play a certain role in anti-slip and auxiliary positioning during installation; the mounting ring block 601 is an annular body with a hole along the axial direction, and the central tube 4 passes through the hole; the sealing ring block 605 is an annular body coaxially arranged on the lower surface of the mounting ring block 601, and the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring block 605 matches the sealing groove 603; on the outer periphery of the sealing ring block 605... An mounting ring 604 is provided on the upper part, and the outer surface of the sealing ring block 605 does not contact the inner wall of the mounting ring 604. The outer surface of the mounting ring 604 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 602 is provided with an internal thread that engages with the external thread of 604. The mounting ring block 601 and the mounting groove 602 are fixedly installed through the cooperation of the internal and external threads. Under the action of this connection structure, the mounting ring block 601 causes the sealing ring block 605 to move downward and gradually come into contact with the sealing groove 603. Under the action of the support spring 701, the sealing ring block 605 and the sealing strip 607 form a sealing compression contact.
[0033] Furthermore, the rubber sleeve 5 is made of a metal-framed composite material. Using a metal-framed composite material for the rubber sleeve 5 improves its mechanical strength and durability while maintaining good elasticity, making it suitable for applications requiring higher strength and stability.
[0034] The sealing strip 607 is made of polyurethane, which has good sealing performance, wear resistance, strong extrusion resistance, good oil resistance, and long service life.
[0035] The sealing ring block 605 is made of stainless steel, which has a long sealing life and is corrosion resistant.
[0036] The working process of this utility model:
[0037] 1. When using the throttle, first connect the feeding tool through the slip seat 3, and ensure that the set screw of the feeding tool is in contact with the top of the center tube 4.
[0038] 2. Then, using a winch to connect the steel wire, the throttle is lowered to the predetermined position. Under the friction between the slip seat 3 and the inner wall of the oil pipe, the throttle hangs on the inner wall of the oil pipe.
[0039] 3. Installation of the throttle: The mounting ring block 601 screws the mounting ring 604 into the mounting groove 602 for fixation. At the same time, the sealing ring block 605 contacts and compresses the sealing strip 607. The sealing strip 607 drives the sealing spring 606 to contract. The elastic force generated by the contraction of the sealing spring 606 ensures that a sealing contact is formed between the sealing strip 607 and the sealing ring block 605, realizing the sealing installation between the upper connecting part 1 and the lower connecting part 2. After that, the throttle operation can be carried out.
[0040] 4. (1) Deployment: Connect the delivery tool and the throttle with a pin. The jack screw of the delivery tool pushes the central tube of the throttle to apply pre-pressure to the spring, causing the rubber tube to contract, which facilitates the throttle entering the inner wall of the oil pipe. Then connect the shocker, weight rod, and wire rope cap in sequence. Lower the throttle to the predetermined position by connecting the wire with a winch; (2) Sealing: After the throttle is lowered to the predetermined position, slowly lift the wire. The slip seat sits on the inner wall of the oil pipe due to friction. Repeatedly lift and lower the wire. The shocker vibrates upward, cuts the pin, and the spring releases energy, pushing the rubber tube seat upward. The rubber tube is opened and forms a tight contact with the inner wall of the oil pipe, achieving a seal. This sealing mechanism can prevent the fluid from bypassing the throttle and ensure the throttling effect; (3) Retrieval: By vibrating downward, the central tube is pushed downward, compressing the spring downward. The rubber tube moves downward and is retrieved. Continue to vibrate downward, and the slip is retrieved.
[0041] Where there is no conflict, those skilled in the art can combine the relevant technical features in the above examples according to the actual situation to achieve the corresponding technical effects. Specific details of the various combinations will not be elaborated here.
