[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a mechanical packer, comprising a drive tube 1, a sealing assembly 2 and a locking mechanism 3 on the left side of the drive tube 1, a drive rod 4 inside the drive tube 1, a limiting plate 5 integrally fixed on the right end of the drive rod 4, a connecting thread 7 on the outer wall of a connecting column 6 for connection, a threaded mating column 8 fixed on the left end of the connecting column 6, the threaded mating column 8 being integrally formed with the connecting column 6, threaded mating holes 9 on the drive rod 4 and the limiting plate 5, the threaded mating column 8 being screwed onto the drive rod 4 and the limiting plate 5 through the mating holes 9, and the left end of the connecting column 6 abutting against the right end of the limiting plate 5, the outer wall of the drive rod 4 near the limiting plate 5 being connected to... The threaded mating hole 9 is connected to a positioning hole 10, in which a positioning bolt 11 is inserted. The threaded mating post 8 has a positioning screw hole 12, in which the positioning bolt 11 is screwed. In use, if the connecting thread 7 on the outer wall of the connecting post 6 is damaged due to impact during carrying or handling, the positioning hole 10 can be unscrewed from the positioning screw hole 12. Then, the threaded mating post 8 can be rotated counterclockwise through the connecting post 6 to disengage it from the threaded mating hole 9, thereby removing the connecting post 6 and replacing it with a new one. The detachable structure eliminates the need to replace the entire drive rod, avoiding resource waste and saving maintenance costs.

[0022] The positioning holes 10, positioning bolts 11, and positioning screw holes 12 are all provided in three sets. The three sets of positioning holes 10 are distributed equidistantly in a ring on the outer wall of the drive rod 4 near the limiting plate 5. The three sets of positioning bolts 11 are inserted into the drive rod 4 by cooperating with the positioning holes 10. The three sets of positioning screw holes 12 are distributed equidistantly in a ring on the threaded docking post 8. The three sets of positioning bolts 11 are screwed into the three sets of positioning screw holes 12 respectively. With the three sets of positioning holes 10, positioning bolts 11, and positioning screw holes 12 arranged equidistantly in a ring, after the threaded docking post 8 is tightened, the three sets of positioning holes 10 are exactly aligned with the three sets of positioning screw holes 12 respectively. At this time, the positioning bolts 11 are passed through the positioning holes 10 and screwed into the positioning screw holes 12 to further fix the threaded docking post 8. The equidistant distribution in a ring makes the threaded docking post 8 more secure and stable, effectively preventing the threaded docking post 8 from loosening and improving the connection strength between the threaded docking post 8 and the threaded docking hole 9.

[0023] All three sets of positioning holes 10 are countersunk, and all three sets of positioning bolts 11 are hexagonal socket bolts. By making the positioning holes 10 countersunk and using hexagonal socket bolts, the bolt heads can be sunk into the positioning holes 10, so that the positioning bolts 11 can be installed in place and there will be no protrusions on the outer wall of the drive rod 4.

[0024] All three sets of positioning bolts 11 are fitted with spring washers 13. By setting the spring washers 13, after the positioning bolts 11 are screwed into the positioning screw holes 12 and tightened, the cooperation of the spring washers 13 can effectively prevent the positioning bolts 11 from loosening, making the positioning bolts 11 more secure and reliable.

[0025] The right end of the connecting post 6 is provided with an internal hexagonal groove 14; by providing the internal hexagonal groove 14, it is easy to use a hexagonal wrench to rotate the connecting post 6, making the connecting post 6 easier and less labor-intensive to assemble and disassemble.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model of a mechanical packer is as follows: When the connecting thread 7 on the outer wall of the connecting column 6 is damaged due to impact during carrying or handling, the positioning hole 10 can be unscrewed from the positioning screw hole 12 first, and then the threaded docking column 8 can be rotated counterclockwise through the connecting column 6 to disengage the threaded docking column 8 from the threaded docking hole 9, thereby removing the connecting column 6 and replacing it with a new one. During installation, the threaded docking column 8 is first tightened into the threaded docking hole 9, so that the three sets of positioning holes 10 are aligned with the three sets of positioning screw holes 12 respectively, and then the positioning bolt 11 is tightened into the positioning screw hole 12 to complete the installation.

[0027] The mechanical packer of this utility model has common mechanical installation, connection or setting methods, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve the beneficial effect. The drive tube, sealing assembly, locking mechanism, drive rod and limit plate in this utility model are all referenced from a mechanical packer with patent publication number CN215907812U, which belongs to the disclosed prior art. Its specific structure and working principle have been described in detail in the patent, so this application will not repeat it in too much detail.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
