[0002] In today's oil exploitation field, the Christmas tree as the key equipment connecting the wellhead and oil and gas transmission pipeline, its attached safety valve plays a vital role. Safety valve can automatically open when the system pressure abnormally rises, and the excess fluid or gas is discharged, so as to protect the whole oil production system from the impact of excessive pressure and prevent serious accidents such as explosion and leakage.
[0003] However, the working environment of the Christmas tree safety valve is often extremely harsh. In the oil and gas exploitation site, the safety valve needs to be exposed to high temperature, high pressure and corrosive substances for a long time, so that the metal material inside the safety valve is under the action of continuous thermal stress. With the passage of time, the activity between metal atoms intensifies, the crystal structure of the material changes, and the mechanical properties of the metal are significantly reduced. Especially in the core component metal spring of the safety valve, the influence is more obvious. The spring works at high temperature for a long time, and its elastic modulus will gradually decrease, and the elastic limit will also change, so that the spring is more likely to deform within the normal working range, which seriously reduces the safety of the safety valve.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, a novel horizontal tree trunk safety valve includes:
[0027] Valve body 1;
[0028] The inlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed inside the valve body 1;
[0029] A slider 6 is slidably disposed within the valve body 1, and a liquid storage chamber 7 is provided within the slider 6;
[0030] Telescopic box 4, arranged in a circular array at the top of slider 6 and connected to liquid storage chamber 7;
[0031] The first spring 5 is fixedly installed inside the telescopic box 4;
[0032] A sealing assembly, including at least a sealing cap 12 disposed at the axis of the slider 6 and abutting the top of the inlet pipe 2.
[0033] Specifically, when the internal pressure of the oil well suddenly increases during production, oil, gas, and other media in the well will rapidly flow into the inlet pipe 2. The force exerted by the oil, gas, and other media on the sealing cap 12 exceeds the preload of the first spring 5, causing the sealing cap 12 at the top of the inlet pipe 2 to be pushed open, thus forming a pressure relief channel. When the sealing cap 12 is pushed open, it will push the slider 6 to move towards the top of the valve body 1, so that the slider 6 provides pressure to the telescopic box 4, thereby deforming the first spring 5 installed in the telescopic box 4. At the same time, the telescopic box 4 will also fold. When the telescopic box 4 folds along with the first spring 5, the cooling oil stored in the telescopic box 4 is pressurized and injected into the liquid storage chamber 7 opened in the slider 6. The cooling oil is stored in the liquid storage chamber 7 opened in the slider 6, so that the telescopic box 4 can fold freely when under pressure. After the oil well is depressurized, the first spring 5 is contracted to push the telescopic box 4 to unfold, so that the telescopic box 4 pushes the slider 6 to slide towards the bottom of the valve body 1, so that the slider 6 pushes the sealing cap 12 to reseal the inlet pipe 2.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the first spring 5 in the valve body 1 is protected by the valve body 1, the liquid inlet pipe 2, the sliding block 6, the liquid storage cavity 7, the telescopic box 4, the first spring 5 and the sealing rod. The first spring 5 is installed in the telescopic box 4, so that the telescopic box 4 protects the first spring 5 from being contacted with external dust and corrosive substances. The cooling oil is injected into the telescopic box 4, so that the cooling oil can isolate external high temperature, prevent the first spring 5 from being damaged by external high temperature during long-time work, and isolate external air and moisture to prevent the first spring 5 from rusting, thereby prolonging the service life of the first spring 5, preventing the first spring 5 from being damaged by high temperature, and improving the safety of the safety valve during work.
[0035] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, the sliding block 6 is fixedly installed with a valve rod 3 at the shaft center, and the bottom end of the valve rod 3 is fixedly connected with a sealing cover 12.
[0036] Specifically, the valve rod 3 installed on the sliding block 6 is connected with the sealing cover 12, so that when the sealing cover 12 is pushed to move upwards, the valve rod 3 is pushed, so that the sliding block 6 and the sealing cover 12 can move synchronously.
[0037] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, the bottom end of the telescopic box 4 is fixedly installed with a guide pipe 10, and one end of the guide pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the liquid storage cavity 7.
[0038] Specifically, when the sliding block 6 pushes the telescopic box 4 and the first spring 5 to shrink and deform, the guide pipe 10 installed at the bottom of the telescopic box 4 is connected with the liquid storage cavity 7, so that the cooling oil in the telescopic box 4 is pressed to flow into the liquid storage cavity 7 through the guide pipe 10 and is stored.
[0039] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, the liquid storage cavity 7 is fixedly installed with an elastic element 8, and the end surface of the elastic element 8 is fixedly installed with a push plate 9.
[0040] Specifically, when the cooling oil flows into the liquid storage cavity 7 through the guide pipe 10, the push plate 9 is pushed to slide downwards by the cooling oil, so that the push plate 9 pushes the elastic element 8 to deform and store force. When the telescopic box 4 expands, the push plate 9 is pushed to move upwards by the elastic element 8, so that the push plate 9 provides a pushing force to the cooling oil stored in the liquid storage cavity 7, so that the cooling oil flows back to the telescopic box 4 through the guide pipe 10. The cooling oil flows back to the telescopic box 4, so that the cooling oil can continuously provide cooling protection to the first spring 5.
[0041] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, the side wall of the valve body 1 is fixedly installed with a liquid outlet pipe 13.
[0042] Specifically, by installing the outlet pipe 13 on the side wall of the valve body 1, the oil and gas medium entering the valve body 1 along the inlet pipe 2 can flow out along the outlet pipe 13, so that the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 13 form a pressure relief channel.
[0043] Working principle: when the pressure generated in the oil well needs to be relieved, the oil and gas medium flows into the inlet pipe 2, so that the oil and gas medium pushes the sealing cover 12 at the top end of the inlet pipe 2 to open, when the sealing cover 12 is opened, the oil and gas medium enters the valve body 1 and flows out along the outlet pipe 13, so that the oil well can complete pressure relief, when the sealing cover 12 is pushed to move upward, the sealing cover 12 pushes the valve rod 3 to move upward, so that the valve rod 3 can drive the sliding block 6 to move upward synchronously in the process of moving upward, so that the sliding block 6 extrudes the telescopic box 4 and the first spring 5 to generate shrinkage deformation in the process of moving to the top end of the valve body 1, when the telescopic box 4 is folded, the cooling oil filled in the telescopic box 4 flows into the storage cavity 7 through the conduit 10 for storage, so that the first spring 5 can normally shrink and deform, when the oil well pressure relief is completed, the first spring 5 pushes the telescopic box to expand, so that the telescopic box pushes the sliding block 6 to slide to the bottom end of the valve body 1, so that the sliding block 6 and the valve rod 3 cooperate to push the sealing cover 12 to reseal the conduit 10, and the elastic member 8 pushes the push plate 9 to extrude the cooling oil stored in the storage cavity 7, so that the cooling oil flows back to the telescopic box 4 through the conduit 10, so that the cooling oil can continuously protect the first spring 5, avoiding damage to the first spring 5 caused by high temperature.
[0044] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, without doubt, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways. Therefore, the above description and drawings are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.
