Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling tool technology, and in particular to a high-energy coiled tubing fully hydraulic bidirectional shock absorber. Background Technology
[0002] In coiled tubing drilling operations, wellbore blockage and stuck pipe incidents occur frequently. Traditional unsticking methods mainly involve applying axial load by lifting or lowering the tubing string, or using shovels to generate impact force. However, coiled tubing is characterized by its small diameter (typically ≤4 inches) and relatively soft material (yield strength approximately 550 MPa). When the required lifting force exceeds 80% of its yield strength, direct lifting may cause the tubing string to break. Therefore, shovels are needed to assist in unsticking.
[0003] Currently, mainstream shock tools suffer from the following technical bottlenecks:
[0004] 1. Limitations of unidirectional shock: Traditional unidirectional shockers can only be activated by lifting, and cannot achieve downward shock, which limits the flexibility of card release in complex working conditions.
[0005] 2. Insufficient sealing reliability: Existing bidirectional hydraulic shock absorbers generally use rubber seals. Under the high temperature (≥150℃) environment at the bottom of the well and high frequency reciprocating motion, the sealing elements are prone to wear and failure, resulting in hydraulic oil leakage, and the reduction or even complete loss of shock force.
[0006] 3. Poor shock stability: Hydraulic high-frequency shockers rely on spring energy storage structures, which have problems such as spring fatigue fracture and large shock force fluctuations. In addition, the combination of multiple springs leads to high structural complexity and difficult maintenance.
[0007] 4. Uncontrollable impact force: The impact intensity of existing tools depends on the elastic deformation of the drill string, which is difficult to adjust precisely through ground operation, affecting the efficiency of unblocking. Utility Model Content

[0018] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below."

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, this high-energy coiled tubing fully hydraulic bidirectional shock absorber mainly consists of three parts: a tubing assembly, a cone valve and pressure energy housing, and a transmission assembly. The tubing assembly is responsible for connecting to the external tubing and providing partial sealing; the cone valve and pressure energy housing are key components for storing and releasing shock energy; and the transmission assembly is used to transmit torque and control the magnitude of the shock force.
[0020] The punch assembly includes a punch 11, a punch housing 13, and a first lip seal assembly 15 disposed within the punch housing. A third O-ring 17 is provided inside the punch 11 to further seal the internal passage of the punch. The punch 11 is threadedly connected to the splined punch shaft 2 to ensure connection stability and sealing. The punch housing 13 and the pressure energy housing 12 are sealed together by a first O-ring 14 and a second O-ring 16 to prevent hydraulic oil leakage. This multi-seal structure design effectively adapts to different working environments and improves sealing reliability.
[0021] The cone valve and pressure energy housing include a first cone valve 8, a second cone valve 9, and a pressure energy housing 12. The first cone valve 8 and the second cone valve 9 are fixed to the splined punch shaft 2 by a first sealing ring 7 and a second sealing ring 10, respectively. A first high-pressure O-ring 19 and a second high-pressure O-ring 18 are respectively installed inside the first sealing ring 7 and the second sealing ring 10, and they are connected to the splined punch shaft 2 by an interference fit, ensuring the tightness and sealing of the connection between the cone valve and the splined punch shaft.

[0023] Working principle
[0024] Up click process
[0025] When an upward impact operation is required, the continuous hydraulic hose is lifted by the ground equipment, causing the splined punch 2 to move upward. At this time, the first cone valve 8 gradually closes under the action of hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil forms high pressure in the annular hydraulic oil chamber, storing shock energy. When the set upward impact force threshold is reached, the first cone valve 8 opens instantaneously, and the stored hydraulic energy is rapidly released, pushing the splined punch 2 to impact upward quickly, realizing the upward impact release function.
[0026] Downward movement
[0027] During the downward impact operation, the ground equipment presses down the continuous hydraulic hose, causing the splined punch 2 to move downwards. The second cone valve 9 closes under the action of hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil accumulates pressure and stores energy in the annular hydraulic oil chamber. When the impact force requirement is met, the second cone valve 9 opens, and the hydraulic energy pushes the splined punch 2 downwards to complete the downward impact and release action.
[0028] Shock force adjustment
[0029] The operator can change the axial displacement of the spline punch 2 by adjusting the position of the pressure regulating ring 6 within the axial adjustment groove of the spline punch 2. The change in axial displacement affects the pressure and flow rate of the hydraulic oil in the annular hydraulic oil chamber, thereby achieving precise control over the magnitude of the impact force to adapt to different unblocking conditions.
[0030] This high-energy coiled tubing fully hydraulic bidirectional shock absorber achieves bidirectional controllable shock absorption through a unique structural design and sealing measures, improving its ability to unblock devices under complex working conditions. Multiple sealing structures ensure sealing reliability under high temperature and high pressure environments, avoiding shock force attenuation caused by hydraulic oil leakage. The spline drive design improves torque transmission capability and structural stability, extending the equipment's service life. Simultaneously, the adjustable shock force allows the equipment to better adapt to different unblocking needs, improving operational efficiency and safety.
[0031] 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 principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
