Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing technology for annular particle erosion of equipment, specifically a downhole annular particle erosion experimental device. Background Technology

[0002] Downhole annulus refers to the annular space between the wellbore and the casing or between the casing and the tubing. Downhole annulus particle erosion refers to the process in which fluids carrying solid particles, such as mud or produced fluids, collide and rub against the surfaces of equipment such as casing, tubing, and downhole tools within this annular space, resulting in the gradual wear and peeling off of the equipment surface materials.

[0003] During drilling, the drill bit breaks rocks, producing cuttings. In the oil well production stage, solid particles such as sand from the formation enter the wellbore along with the fluid. These solid particles flow within the annulus, becoming abrasive material. To achieve drilling fluid circulation, sand carrying, and well completion operations, the fluid needs to maintain a certain flow velocity within the downhole annulus. The fluid flow drives the solid particles, giving them kinetic energy. When these particles collide with the equipment surface within the annulus, they cause erosion. However, traditional equipment makes it difficult to simulate downhole annular particle erosion during use. Because downhole casing, tubing, and other equipment are subject to annular particle erosion during long-term service, it is difficult to assess the equipment's erosion resistance and service life, making it impossible to ensure safe and reliable operation of the equipment downhole. Furthermore, without erosion testing, it is difficult to detect potential erosion problems in advance, leading to equipment failure and further safety hazards and economic losses.

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.

Support plates are installed at the bottom of the multiple support legs 3.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 3 - Figure 6 The testing mechanism is located at the upper and lower ends of the annular simulation chamber 1 and is used to test the experimental equipment 11. The testing mechanism includes a receiving component, a pressing component, and a rotating component. The receiving component is located at the bottom of the annular simulation chamber 1 and is used to receive the experimental equipment 11. The pressing component is located at the top of the annular simulation chamber 1 and is used to press the experimental equipment 11. The rotating component is located inside the pressing component and is used to rotate the pressing component. The receiving component includes a base plate 4 fixed to the bottom of the annular simulation chamber 1. The top of the base plate 4 has a receiving groove for the experimental equipment 11 to be inserted. The outer wall of the receiving groove has multiple evenly distributed fixing grooves. Rollers 28 are installed inside the multiple fixing grooves. The multiple rollers 28 correspond to the outer wall of the experimental equipment 11. The inside of the base plate 4 has multiple evenly distributed through holes 13. The multiple through holes 13 are matched with the experimental chamber.

[0028] The experimental device 11 to be tested is placed into the experimental chamber, with its bottom inserted into the receiving groove. After testing the experimental device 11, it can rotate in the receiving groove using multiple evenly distributed rollers 28, thereby improving the flexibility of the experimental device 11 during testing, enabling uniform simulation testing of its outer wall, and improving the accuracy of the test data.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pressing component includes a rotating plate 8 set on the top of the annular simulation chamber 1. A fixed plate 9 is fixed on one side of the rotating plate 8, and a rotating plate 10 is installed on the bottom of the fixed plate 9. Multiple evenly distributed abutment blocks 16 are fixed on the bottom of the rotating plate 10. The multiple abutment blocks 16 correspond to the top of the experimental device 11. A moving component for driving the rotating plate 8 to move up and down is set on one side of the annular simulation chamber 1. Based on this, when the experimental device 11 is inserted into the receiving groove, the bottom of the rotating plate 10 is aligned with the top of the experimental device 11. Through the mutual abutment of the multiple abutment blocks 16 with the experimental device 11, the rotating plate 10 can rotate synchronously when the experimental device 11 rotates. The setting of multiple abutment blocks 16 makes the experimental device 11 more stable during testing.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the moving component includes an extension block 5 fixed to one side of the annular simulation chamber 1. A storage block 6 is fixed to the top of the extension block 5. A storage slot is formed inside the storage block 6. An adjusting block 25 is set inside the storage slot.

The two sides of the adjusting block 25... Each component is fixed with a movable plate. The storage block 6 has openings on both sides for the movable plate to move. The movable plate extends to one side of the opening and is fixed with a linkage plate 15. Based on this, the drive motor 14 drives the gear 26 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 26 drives the rack 27 to move. The movement of the rack 27 drives the adjusting block 25 to move vertically in the storage slot. The movement of the adjusting block 25 drives the baffle 7 to move. The movement of the baffle 7 drives the rotating plate 8 to move synchronously. The movement of the rotating plate 8 causes the fixed plate 9 to drive the rotating plate 10 to move. This allows the distance between the rotating plate 10 and the experimental equipment 11 to be adjusted, so that the rotating plate 10 can contact the experimental equipment 11.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the rotating assembly includes a baffle 7 fixed to the top of the adjusting block 25. Two support seats 17 are fixed to the top of the baffle 7, and a fixed shaft 18 is installed between the two support seats 17.

Two mounting blocks 20 are fixed to the bottom of the rotating plate 8. Each mounting block 20 has an arc groove at its bottom that mates with the support seat 17. A positioning component for positioning the rotating plate 8 is provided on one side of the top of the baffle 7. Based on this, pulling the rotating... Plate 8 drives rotating block 19 to rotate on the outer wall of fixed shaft 18. The rotation of rotating block 19 drives rotating plate 8 to rotate on top of baffle 7 around fixed shaft 18. The rotation of rotating plate 8 causes fixed disk 9 to drive rotating disk 10 to rotate. The rotation of rotating disk 10 separates it from experimental equipment 11. After the rotating disk 10 is separated from experimental equipment 11, it is convenient for experimental equipment 11 to be placed and removed in the experimental chamber, and it is convenient to replace different experimental equipment 11 for testing.

[0032] Furthermore, for example Figure 4 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a support frame 21 fixed to one side of the top of the baffle 7. Fixing plates 22 are fixed to both sides of the top of the support frame 21. Insert plates 23 are inserted into the top of the two fixing plates 22, and a groove for the rotating plate 8 to abut between the two fixing plates 22 is provided. A mounting plate is fixed to the bottom of the insert plate 23, and a bolt 24 is screwed between the mounting plate and one of the fixing plates 22. By screwing the bolt 24, the mounting plate is separated from one of the fixing plates 22. Then, the insert plate 23 is pulled to separate from the other fixing plate 22. Once the insert plate 23 is moved to the outside of the two fixing plates 22, the user can easily rotate the rotating plate 8. Similarly, the rotated plate 8 can be positioned after rotation, making it more stable during operation.
