Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of downhole operation, especially relates to a hydraulic ball throwing type pipe scraper. BACKGROUND

[0002] The extension of the conventional pipe scraper blade is mainly hydraulic spring type and hydraulic slider type. The spring type structure is to press the spring inward through the casing to realize the pipe scraping function, and this structure is suitable for light scaling or conventional well conditions, and the application range of the casing is single. The patent with the application number 202411128899.5 discloses an activated pipe scraper, which belongs to this category. The slider type is to drive the piston through the hydraulic pressure, and the blade is pushed to contact the pipe wall to clean the pipe wall. This structure has large scraping force and is suitable for complex well conditions. However, the slider structure is easily limited by the tool cavity size, and the radial variable range is small, which limits the use range of the pipe scraper. The patent with the application number 202311436371.X discloses a continuous oil pipe high-efficiency hydraulic pipe scraper, which belongs to this category.

[0003] The patent with the application number 202411096134.8 discloses a ball-throwing pressurized variable-diameter pipe scraper, which includes a connecting rod structure, a scraper body, a shear pin, and a steel ball. The structure has a complex use process and needs to be pressed multiple times to realize the variable-diameter conversion and the flow channel circulation. The connecting rod part of the structure is completely exposed outside the tool body, and the connecting rod part has a high risk of damage when the tool string is lowered, and it does not have on-site practicality. At the same time, in the field pipe scraping operation, the conventional operation process of one trip is to start operation from a small specification, that is, to operate from bottom to top. The wellbore washing fluid can flow naturally downward, helping to flush and carry the scraped mud and scaling debris, and reducing the risk of blockage. However, for severe scaling or horizontal sections and other special conditions, self-top-to-bottom or specific direction use is adopted. This structure can only be used in special conditions and cannot be applied to regular operations. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0020] In order to make the utility model purposes, technical scheme and advantages more clearly, following combining with the drawings and example, the utility model is further detailedly explained.It should be understood that the specific example described here is only used to explain the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model.

[0021] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that the orientation or position relation indicated by the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is the orientation or position relation based on the shown in the drawing, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and is not used to indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore can not be understood as the limitation of the utility model.In addition, in the description of the utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two, unless there is a clear specific limitation.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-7 For example, the scraping and washing of the 9.625in casing 18 matched with the 7in tail pipe 17 well structure.

[0023] As Figure 2 Shown, the scraper body 1 is lowered to the 7in tail pipe 17 scraping and washing area, and the scraper blade 3 on the scraper body 1 directly acts on the well wall to carry out scraping and washing operation.

[0024] As Figure 5 And Figure 6 Shown, the scraper body 1 has two groups of scraper blades 3 installed alternately up and down, and each group contains three scraper blades 3, which can cover the 360 ° circumferential range, ensuring that the pipe wall is cleaned without dead angle.

[0025] The scraper blade 3 and the scraper body 1 are connected by three groups of connecting rods, from top to bottom, connecting rod one 4, connecting rod two 5 and connecting rod three 6, and the three groups of connecting rods are connected with the scraper body 1 through connecting pin 7;

[0026] Among them, as Figure 6 And Figure 7As shown, connecting rod 1 4 and connecting rod 2 5 are fixed on the scraper body 1 and can rotate. Connecting rod 3 6 is installed on the guide groove 011 on the scraper body 1 and can slide up and down along the guide groove 011. Each scraper blade 3 has two guide grooves 011 on both sides of the scraper body 1 to realize the extension and retraction of the scraper blade 3.

[0027] After the 7-inch tailpipe section 17 is scraped and cleaned, the tubing string is lifted to prepare for the 9.625-inch sleeve section 18 scraping and cleaning operation.

[0028] Steel ball 15 is inserted from the top of the tubing and pressurized. Steel ball 15 flows down along the inner channel of the tool to the bottom of the shearing cylinder 14. At this time, the tool begins to pressurize. When the pressure reaches 15MPa, the shearing pin 13 is cut off, and steel ball 15 and shearing cylinder 14 slide down into the bottom of the extension mandrel 12.

[0029] At this time, the downward fluid is blocked and can only flow out through the flow channel hole 141 on the shear cylinder 14, flow through the inner hole of the lower connector 16, and enter the casing to achieve circulation and well washing. At the same time, the flow channel hole 121 on the extension mandrel 12 is also open. Part of the fluid throttled by the steel ball 15 enters the annulus between the extension mandrel 12 and the scraper body 1, and acts on the bottom of the piston 10.

[0030] The formation of the throttling pressure differential compresses the spring 11, pushing the piston 10 upward. Furthermore, the push block 8, fixed to the piston 10 by the fixing screw 9, also moves upward. The connecting pin 7 of the fixing rod 3 6 moves upward in the guide groove 011. Therefore, the scraper blade 3 is pushed outward, acting on the well wall for scraping. The state of the scraper blade after opening is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0031] Scraping both sizes of casing requires only one run of the tubing string, and can also be used for cleaning a single size tubing string. A single ball drop is enough to open the scraper blades, without affecting fluid circulation and well washing operations, ensuring that debris is effectively carried to the surface.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
