Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil extraction technology, specifically to a device for retrieving fallen objects from oil wells. Background Technology

[0002] As global oil and gas field development expands into deep and complex wells, traditional fishing techniques face challenges. The environments of deep and complex wells place significantly higher demands on the strength, pressure resistance, and precise positioning of fishing tools, which traditional manual or simple mechanical fishing tools can no longer meet.

[0003] Traditional retrieval tools rely on collision or mechanical clamping, which can easily shake when falling into the oil well. This may cause the retrieval claw to collide with the inner wall of the oil well, affecting not only the stability of the retrieval but also the lifespan of the device to some extent. Therefore, we propose a downhole object retrieval device for oil development. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a downhole object retrieval device for oil well operations, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A downhole object retrieval device for oil wells, comprising a main frame and a base frame. Four supporting outer arms are fixedly connected to the outer side of the main frame. Each of the four supporting outer arms has a slidably connected inner supporting arm inside. Each of the four supporting outer arms has an adjusting knob threaded to its top. Each of the four supporting inner arms has a mounting frame fixedly installed at one end. Each of the four mounting frames has a limit wheel rotatably connected inside. A motor is fixedly installed at the top inside the main frame. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main frame. An outer cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate. A screw is rotatably connected to the bottom inside the outer cylinder via a bearing. The other end of the screw passes through the connecting plate and the bottom of the main frame and is fixedly connected to the motor output end.

Each of the five claw arms has a claw plate fixedly installed at its bottom end. Each of the five claw arms has a sliding groove inside. A movable disc is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw. Five slots are opened on the outside of the outer cylinder. Five support arms are fixedly installed on the outside of the movable disc. Each of the five support arms has a sliding column fixedly installed at one end. The five sliding columns are slidably connected to the five sliding grooves respectively. When it is necessary to retrieve objects that have fallen into the well, the setting of the supporting outer arm and supporting inner arm can make the limiting wheel contact the inner wall of the oil well. Through this setting, when retrieving objects that have fallen into the well, the device can be prevented from shaking, which would affect the stability of the retrieval, and the device can be prevented from colliding with the inner wall of the oil well.

[0006] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly installed at the top of the base frame, and a winch is fixedly installed at the top of the L-shaped plate. A hoisting rope is fixedly connected to the output end of the winch. One end of the hoisting rope passes through the L-shaped plate and is fixedly installed with a second hoisting ring.

[0010] Preferably, the motor, winch, and hydraulic cylinder are all electrically connected to the control panel.

[0011] Preferably, the hydraulic cylinder consists of a piston, a piston rod, a buffer device, and a sealing device.

[0012] This utility model provides a downhole object retrieval device for oil well operations, which has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This oil well drilling device uses a downhole object retrieval system.

The claw arms 12 are used to drive the claw plates 13 to move. The claw plates 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of each of the five claw arms 12. The claw plates 13 are used to grab falling objects. Each of the five claw arms 12 has a sliding groove 121 inside. The moving disk 9 is threaded to the outside of the screw 11. The moving disk 9 is used to move the support arm 10. The support arm 10 is used to move the claw arm 12. Five slots 801 are opened on the outside of the outer cylinder 8. Five support arms 10 are fixedly installed on the outside of the moving disk 9. Each of the five support arms 10 has a sliding column 1001 fixedly installed at one end. The five sliding columns 1001 are slidably connected to the five sliding grooves 121 respectively.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, an L-shaped plate 18 is fixedly installed at the top of the base frame 21, and a winch 17 is fixedly installed at the top of the L-shaped plate 18. The winch 17 is used to retract the hoisting rope 16. The output end of the winch 17 is fixedly connected to the hoisting rope 16. The hoisting rope 16 is used to move the claw plate 13 to a certain position. One end of the hoisting rope 16 passes through the L-shaped plate 18 and is fixedly installed with a second lifting ring 15.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a first lifting ring 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the main frame 1, and the first lifting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the second lifting ring 15.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a control panel 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped plate 18. The control panel 19 is used to control this device. A push rod 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped plate 18. The push rod 20 is used to push this device.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, four universal self-locking wheels 24 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base frame 21. The universal self-locking wheels 24 are used to facilitate the movement of this device. Four hydraulic cylinders 22 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base frame 21. The hydraulic cylinders 22 are used to push the support plate 23. The support plate 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the four hydraulic cylinders 22.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the motor 7, winch 17, and hydraulic cylinder 22 are all electrically connected to the control panel 19.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the hydraulic cylinder consists of a piston, a piston rod, a buffer device, a sealing device, and a drive assembly.

[0029] In summary, this oil well bottom-hole object retrieval device is used in the following steps: First, the operator holds the push rod 20 and moves the device above the oil well, ensuring the claw plate 13 is directly above the well. To prevent movement during retrieval, the control panel 19 is used to activate the four hydraulic cylinders 22, bringing the four support plates 23 into contact with the ground for stability. The operator then adjusts the lengths of the outer support arm 2 and inner support arm 3 using the adjustment knob 4, based on the well's diameter. The operator then uses the control panel 19 to activate the winch 17, releasing the hoisting rope 16 downwards, allowing the main frame 1 to move downwards. When the device enters the well, the four limit wheels 6 contact the well's inner wall, preventing movement and protecting the device. Once the claw plate 13 is inside the well, the control panel 19 activates the motor 7, which drives the device... The screw 11 rotates, causing the moving disc 9 to move upwards. This causes the five claw arms 12 to expand, which in turn causes the five claw plates 13 to expand. Then, the winch 17 continues to lower the hoisting rope 16, and the claw plates 13 are lowered further. When a certain depth is reached, the control panel 19 controls the motor 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the moving disc 9 to move downwards. This causes the five claw plates 13 to retract, thus grabbing and retrieving objects that have fallen into the well. Note that this device can only retrieve larger objects. The winch 17 then retracts the hoisting rope 16, and the claw plates 13 are pulled up. After being pulled up, the hydraulic cylinder 22 retracts the support plate 23. Then, the operator pushes the push rod 20 to move the device to the designated position. The motor 7 then drives the screw 11 to rotate, causing the moving disc 9 to move, which allows the five claw plates 13 to separate, and the retrieved object is released. The above is the working principle of this utility model.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
