[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0020] Example 1, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the rigid centralizer for improving fluid flow provided by the embodiment is provided to improve the effect of cementing, and comprises a sleeve 1 and a spiral rib 2 sleeved on the sleeve 1. The above structure is a common structure, and thus is not described in detail in the embodiment.

[0021] The spiral rib 2 is mainly used to guide the cement slurry or drilling fluid to form a spiral flow, and thus, in order to increase the effect, a guide sleeve 3 is arranged at both ends of the sleeve 1 in the embodiment. The guide sleeve 3 can be integrally formed with the sleeve 1 or fixed by being sleeved later. In order to guide the flow, the outer wall 31 of the guide sleeve 3 is arc-shaped. In order to increase the size of the flow cut into the spiral rib 2, a guide groove 32 is further arranged on the outer wall of the guide sleeve 3. The guide groove 32 is arranged on the outer wall of the guide sleeve 3 in an inclined manner, and the groove of the guide groove 32 is arranged in abutment with the side wall of the spiral rib 2. The inclined direction of the guide groove 32 is the extension of the spiral direction of the spiral rib 2. The guide groove 32 is also a spiral groove, and if the spiral rib 2 is regarded as a spiral object, the guide groove 32 is a hole with the same spiral angle and size as the spiral rib 2. The groove of the guide groove 32 is arranged in abutment with the side wall of the spiral rib 2, which means that the right side wall of the guide groove 32 abuts against the left side wall of the spiral rib 2. In this way, the cement slurry or drilling fluid entering the spiral rib 2 through the guide groove 32 is directly cut into the guide of the spiral rib 2. In this way, the guide groove 32 is used to increase the speed, the spiral rib 2 is used to increase the spiral flow, and the effect of improving the fluid flow is achieved.

[0022] In order to further improve the spiral effect, the depth of the guide groove 32 gradually increases from the end of the sleeve 1 to the spiral rib 2.

[0023] In order to avoid the pushing of the slurry, the thickness of the guide sleeve 3 is less than the thickness of the spiral rib 2 in the embodiment. The thickness of the guide sleeve 3 is between one half and two thirds of the thickness of the spiral rib 2. In this way, a part of the slurry will enter the middle of the sleeve under the guidance of the guide sleeve 3. Since the flow of the cement slurry or drilling fluid is relatively straight, a certain turbulent flow is generated between the spiral cement slurry or drilling fluid, so as to improve the uniformity of the cement sheath, and the effect of improving the cementing is achieved.

[0024] In order to reduce the friction, in the embodiment, the ball is arranged on the outer wall of the spiral rib 2, and the ball is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the spiral rib 2. The balls are arranged on the outer wall of the spiral rib 2 at intervals. In this way, the traditional sliding walking is changed into rolling walking, so that the friction is reduced, and the service life of the centralizer is improved.

[0025] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in other forms. Any skilled person in the art can modify or change the above disclosed technology content to equivalent embodiments applied to other fields, but any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments without departing from the technical scheme of the present application, according to the technical essence of the present application, still belongs to the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
