Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a drilling fluid inhibitor performance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] During oil development, due to the different geological formations, drilling fluid injection into the formation may cause hydration and expansion, leading to a series of problems such as wellbore instability, drill bit mud buildup, and wellbore cleanup, increasing the difficulty of drilling operations. The common solution is to add appropriate inhibitors to the drilling fluid according to the formation properties of the work area to improve the inhibition performance of the drilling fluid and reduce hydration. Therefore, it is necessary to test the inhibition properties of the drilling fluid in the formation to guide actual operations.

[0003] In the prior art, the authorized patent with publication number CN216117545U discloses a drilling fluid inhibitor performance evaluation device, including a device shell, a bottom gasket, a test plug, a sample layer, and a measuring device. The device shell is a cylindrical body, the bottom gasket is set on the inner bottom surface of the device shell, the sample layer is coaxially fixed on the bottom gasket, and the outer surface is in close contact with the inner wall of the device shell. The test plug is a hollow cylindrical plug made of elastic material. The test plug can effectively test the expansion of the vertically set sample layer in the presence of drilling fluid, thereby realizing the evaluation of the drilling fluid inhibitor performance in an experimental device that is as close to real conditions as possible, ensuring the accuracy of the drilling fluid inhibitor performance evaluation test results.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions still have the following shortcomings in actual use: When using the above device, it is necessary to place the test plug at the corresponding position of the cylindrical sample layer according to the test position required for the experiment. However, the test plug in the above device lacks a support structure and cannot be stably stopped at the required position. Moreover, the position of the test plug is not easy to adjust as needed, which makes the placement of the test plug cumbersome. In this regard, we propose a drilling fluid inhibitor performance testing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drilling fluid inhibitor performance testing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drilling fluid inhibitor performance testing device, comprising:

[0007] A test cylinder has a top cover at its top, a connecting tube mounted on the top cover, a test plug mounted at one end of the connecting tube, and the end of the connecting tube away from the test plug mounted on an external testing device. A slide rod is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the test cylinder, and the slide rod is sealed to the bottom wall of the test cylinder by a sealing ring. A support assembly is provided at the top of the slide rod, and a fixing rod is fixedly bonded to the bottom end of the slide rod. A through groove is formed on the fixing rod. A base is provided below the test cylinder, and a locking rod is fixedly bonded to the top wall of the base. The locking rod is slidably connected to the through groove. A stud is threadedly connected to the end of the fixing rod near the locking rod. A locking block is rotatably mounted on the end of the stud located in the cavity of the through groove. The locking block is slidably connected to the through groove. A knob is fixedly mounted on the end of the stud away from the locking block.

[0008] Preferably, a scale is fixedly adhered to the top wall of the base, and a pointer is fixedly adhered to the end of the fixing rod away from the locking rod.

[0009] Preferably, two connecting seats are fixedly bonded to the outer wall of the test cylinder, and a connecting rod is fixedly bonded to the bottom wall of the connecting seats. The bottom end of the connecting rod is fixedly bonded to the top wall of the base.

[0010] Preferably, the support assembly includes a connecting block, which is fixedly bonded to the top of the slide bar, and a plurality of annularly distributed support rods are fixedly bonded to the outer side wall of the connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, the locking rod has anti-slip texture on the side wall near the locking block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a sliding rod installed at the bottom of the test cylinder, with a support component at the top. This support component stably supports the test plug within the test cylinder, ensuring the test plug can be stably positioned as needed. Pushing the sliding rod up and down allows the support component to adjust the test plug's position within the test cylinder. Turning the knob causes a locking block to press against the locking rod, thus limiting and fixing the sliding rod. This facilitates adjustment of the test plug's position and allows for locking after adjustment, ensuring the stability of the test plug when it is in place. Attached Figure Description
