Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of straightening devices, and in particular to a hydraulic spring straightening device. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of oil and gas resource exploration and development, drilling technology has continued to advance, resulting in a large number of wells with complex trajectories such as directional wells, horizontal wells, and extended reach wells. In these complex wells, the casing is subject to friction and resistance from the well wall during the running-in process, which can easily lead to casing deviation and wear, affecting the running-in and cementing quality. Centralizers can provide centralizing force during the running-in process, reducing friction and resistance between the casing and the well wall, enabling the casing to be smoothly run into the predetermined position and remain centered in the well.
[0003] Most existing centralizers are rigid, consisting of a rigid central tube and multiple arc-shaped spring plates radially distributed around the central tube. However, their elasticity is limited, and the centralizing effect will be affected when the wellbore size varies greatly or the well wall is irregular. Moreover, since the spring plates are in direct contact with the well wall, they are prone to wear on the hard well wall, resulting in a shortened service life. Therefore, improvements are needed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Example: See Figure 1-4 The hydraulic spring straightening device of this utility model includes a hydraulic pipe 7, with an injection port on the top surface of the hydraulic pipe 7, and a hydraulic cylinder 8 installed inside the hydraulic pipe 7. A connecting rod 9 is provided inside the hydraulic cylinder 8, and a piston 12 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting rod 9, abutting against the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder 8. The lower end of the connecting rod 9 is located outside the hydraulic cylinder 8 and the hydraulic pipe 7, and a straightening component is provided on the outside of the connecting rod 9. Liquid can be easily injected through the hydraulic pipe 7; the displacement distance of the connecting rod 9 can be easily controlled through the hydraulic cylinder 8; the movement of the connecting rod 9 can be easily facilitated through the piston 12; the straightening component includes... A connector 11 is located at the lower end of the connecting rod 9. The connector 11 is threaded to the lower end of the connecting rod 9, and a second spring 10 is provided at the upper end of the connector 11. The second spring 10 is sleeved on the connecting rod 9. The connector 11 facilitates the compression of the second spring 10. The connecting rod 9 facilitates the control of the movement of the connector 11. A circular connecting cylinder 4 is provided at the upper end of the connecting rod 9. A first moving ring 1 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular connecting cylinder 4. The first moving ring 1 abuts against the hydraulic pipe 7. The circular connecting cylinder 4 facilitates the connection of the first moving ring 1. The first moving ring 1 facilitates the installation of the spring plate 3.
[0020] In this utility model, a conical connecting cylinder 5 is provided at the lower end of the circular connecting cylinder 4. The conical connecting cylinder 5 is sleeved on the connecting rod 9, and a second moving ring 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the conical connecting cylinder 5. The second moving ring 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second spring 10. The conical connecting cylinder 5 facilitates the connection of the second moving ring 2. The second moving ring 2 facilitates the compression of the spring sheet 3. A first spring 6 is provided between the circular connecting cylinder 4 and the conical connecting cylinder 5. The first spring 6 is sleeved on the connecting rod 9, and both ends of the first spring 6 are respectively connected to the circular connecting cylinder 4 and the conical connecting cylinder 5. The first spring 6 facilitates the reset of the conical connecting cylinder 5. Multiple equidistant spring sheets 3 are movably hinged to the outside of the first moving ring 1. The other end of the spring sheet 3 is movably hinged to the outside of the second moving ring 2. The spring sheet 3 facilitates abutment in the pipe, thereby completing the subsequent straightening.
[0021] Working principle: When using this utility model, firstly, the device is placed into the pipe that needs to be straightened, then liquid is injected into the hydraulic pipe 7. The liquid is then guided into the hydraulic cylinder 8 through the internal circuit of the hydraulic pipe 7. The piston 12 then abuts against the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder 8, thereby controlling the connecting rod 9 to move upward. The connecting head 11 is connected to the connecting rod 9, thereby controlling the connecting head 11 to move upward, which in turn squeezes the second spring 10. When the second spring 10 is squeezed to its maximum extent, it pushes the upper second moving ring 2 and the conical connecting cylinder 5. At this time, the first spring 6 is in a compressed state. When the second moving ring 2 moves upward, the distance between the first moving ring 1 and the second moving ring 2 shortens, thereby clamping the spring plate 3 into a bent shape, so that the spring plate 3 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe that needs to be straightened. After the device is straightened, a portion of the liquid inside the hydraulic pipe 7 is extracted. The first spring 6 and the second spring 10 are used to reset all control components, and then the device is removed from the pipe.
