AI Technical Summary
In cementing suspension operations, there is a risk that mud and impurities may solidify between the feed tool and the return sleeve, causing damage to the return sleeve and affecting the tool lifting process.
An anti-settlement structure was designed, including an anti-settlement cup and a locking structure. The inverted cone part fits against the inner wall of the return cylinder to guide the flow. An isolation is formed between the anti-settlement cup and the feeding tool. Mud and impurities flow into the anti-settlement cup to prevent solidification in the return cylinder. The half-section is tightly connected to the feeding tool to ensure synchronous lifting.
This effectively avoids damage to the return drum, ensures smooth lifting of the feeding tool, reduces resistance during the lifting process, and lowers the possibility of tool damage.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-6 The embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of anti-settling structure for downhole tool, for installing on the tool of sending in, it is isolated between the tool of sending in and back joint tube, especially the position with step structure is installed, specific installation quantity can be increased or reduced according to matching relationship.Specifically, anti-settling structure includes locking structure 1 and anti-settling skin bowl 2, the anti-settling skin bowl 2 includes pipe body 21, the lower end of pipe body 21 is equipped with connecting part 22, the upper end of pipe body 21 is equipped with the inverted taper part 23 extending outwardly inclined, the inner diameter of pipe body 21 is greater than the inner diameter of connecting part 22, after being matched with the tool of sending in by connecting part 22, space for accommodating slurry and impurities is formed between pipe body 21 and the tool of sending in, and inverted taper part 23 is contacted with back joint tube to realize the flow guiding of slurry and impurities, avoid flowing into back joint tube, of course, cannot form complete seal, a small amount of slurry and impurities can still flow into back joint tube, but it is not enough to form obstruction after solidification.
[0026] Meanwhile, clamping ring groove 24 is formed on the outer side of connecting part 22, connecting part 22 is fastened and connected on the tool of sending in by locking structure 1, it is convenient to take up the tool of sending in and move with anti-settling structure synchronously, and the locking structure 1 includes two symmetrical half joints 11, the inner wall of half joint 11 is equipped with the limiting groove 12 for accommodating connecting part 22 and the clamping ring block 13 located at one side of limiting groove 12, the clamping ring block 13 is clamped and matched with clamping ring groove 24, the inner diameter of the inner hole formed by the enclosure of two half joints 11 is same with the inner diameter of connecting part 22, by embedding entire connecting part 22 into limiting groove 12, and letting clamping ring groove 24 and clamping ring block 13 form secondary limiting, reliable fastening of connecting part 22 is guaranteed after locking of two half joints 11, and half joint 11 is also fastened on the tool of sending in, guaranteeing that it can be synchronously lifted and moved with the tool of sending in.
[0027] Since the anti-settling skin bowl 2 can be synchronously lifted with the running-in tool, the mud settled in the inside will not be limited by the back connection cylinder, and the anti-settling skin bowl 2 itself has a deformable effect during the lifting process, so that the running-in tool can be smoothly lifted, and damage to the back connection cylinder is avoided.
[0028] Specifically, the anti-settling skin bowl 2 is of an integrated structure, facilitating installation, and the wall thickness of the inverted cone portion 23 is gradually reduced from the end of the pipe body 21 outward, and the edge position is in contact with the back connection cylinder, so that even if the mud solidifies, deformation is easy to occur to separate from the back connection cylinder, and the inverted cone portion 23 can guide the mud and impurities to mainly flow into the pipe body 21.
