AI Technical Summary
In oilfield downhole experiments, heavier downhole tools are difficult to push into the casing in a centered position, which makes the experiment inconvenient and may produce errors.
A straightening and drag-reducing device was designed, comprising a straightening cylinder and a drag-reducing component. The trapezoidal straightening block inside the straightening cylinder fits against the outer wall of the inner tube, and the steel ball rolls against the inner wall of the outer tube, thereby straightening the inner tube and reducing frictional resistance.
This effectively achieved the centered insertion of the inner tube into the outer tube, reducing frictional resistance during the insertion process and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the experiment.
