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.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a flexible gas well drainage and gas production plunger, including a retrieval head 1 for connecting various components. The lower part of the retrieval head 1 has a connecting groove 11 for connecting with plunger sections. The uppermost connecting member 2 has a rotating ball 22 rotatably connected to the connecting groove 11 to facilitate the bending of the plunger. The lower part of the retrieval head 1 has multiple plunger sections. The number of plunger sections can be increased or decreased according to actual gravity requirements, and plunger sections of different materials and weights can be replaced as needed. Each plunger section includes a connecting member 2 and a fixing member 3. The bottom of the lower connector 2 is provided with a post tail 5, which is used to form a plunger for gas well drainage and gas production with the retrieval head 1 and the plunger section. Fastening pads 4 are provided between the connector 2 and the fixing part 3 and between the connector 2 and the post tail 5. These pads can be made of rubber or metal and are used to cooperate with the first anti-loosening ring 24, the second anti-loosening ring 34 and the third anti-loosening ring 51 to ensure the threaded connection is firm and prevent the connection from loosening. The upper and lower parts of the fastening pads 4 are provided with anti-loosening ridges 41, which are used to cooperate with the connection of the first anti-loosening ring 24, the second anti-loosening ring 34 and the third anti-loosening ring 51.
[0032] like Figure 4 - Figure 5 As shown, the connector 2 includes a connector block 21, which is used to connect various components. A rotating ball 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector block 21, which is used to cooperate with the connector groove 11 or the rotating groove 35 to cooperate with the rotation and angle adjustment of each plunger section to cooperate with the bending of the plunger. A ring 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connector block 21, which is used to cooperate with the drainage and gas sampling operation. A fixing groove 25 is opened at the bottom of the connector block 21, which is used to cooperate with the connection of the stud 32 or the fixing rod 52. A first anti-loosening ring 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector block 21, and the bottom of the ring has raised textures for cooperating with the fastening pad 4.
[0033] Please see Figure 6 The fixing component 3 includes a fixing block 31. The bottom of the fixing block 31 has a rotating groove 35. The rotating ball 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 35 to cooperate with the bending of the plunger. The outside of the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to a second ring 33, which is the same size as the first ring 23. The top surface of the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to a second anti-loosening ring 34, which is used to cooperate with the fastening pad 4. The top of the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to a stud 32, which is used to cooperate with the connection between each plunger segment. The stud 32 is threadedly connected to the fixing groove 25.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing rod 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the column tail 5, which is used to connect the column tail 5 and the plunger section. The fixing rod 52 is threadedly connected to the fixing groove 25 of the connector 2 located at the bottom. A third anti-loosening ring 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the column tail 5, which is used to cooperate with the fastening pad 4.
[0035] Working principle: During use, select the appropriate material and number of plunger segments according to actual needs, and then connect multiple plunger segments sequentially. During connection, first tighten the threaded stud 32 on the upper part of the fixing part 3 on the first plunger segment to the fixing groove 25 on the lower part of the connecting part 2 that connects to the retrieval head 1. When installing the fixing part 3 and the connecting part 2, a fastening washer 4 needs to be placed between the connecting part 2 and the fixing part 3. When the fixing part 3 is tightened to the connecting part 2 via the stud 32, the first anti-loosening ring 24 at the lower part of the connecting block 21 and the second anti-loosening ring 34 on the upper part of the fixing part 3 will abut against the fastening washer 4. The protrusions on the first anti-loosening ring 24 and the second anti-loosening ring 34 will lock against the anti-loosening protrusions 41 on the fastening washer 4, thereby improving the connection between the connecting part 2 and the fixing part 3. To ensure the stability of the connection between the fixed parts 3, and to prevent the connection between the connector 2 and the fixed part 3 from being affected when the plunger bends. The other plunger sections can be installed in sequence according to the above steps. After the last plunger section is installed, the plunger tail 5 is immediately connected to the connector 2 located at the last part. The fixing rod 52 on the plunger tail 5 is tightened to the fixing groove 25 on the last connector 2. The third anti-loosening ring 51 on the plunger tail 5 and the first anti-loosening ring 24 on the last connector 2 will press the fastening pad 4 between the connector 2 and the plunger tail 5 together, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the plunger tail 5 and the connector 2. When the plunger needs to bend, the rotating ball 22 on the connecting block 21 will rotate in the rotating groove 35 or the connecting groove 11, thereby adjusting the bending angle of each plunger section.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
