[0058] As an optional implementation method, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of this embodiment, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the annular joint 1 includes a steel wire duct 101 and an annular joint conduit 102.
[0059] The annular connector conduit 102 is connected to the inlet of the annular well shaft; the steel wire duct 101 is located between the annular connector conduit 102 and the pneumatic conveying device 6.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the wire mesh duct 101 is installed between the pneumatic generator 603 and the annular connector conduit 102, allowing for both extension and compression to meet the needs of various annular wellheads. The annular connector conduit 102 is fixedly connected to the wire mesh duct 101 and connected to the annular wellhead inlet via a threaded structure, enabling the delivery and introduction of pharmaceutical particles.
[0061] As an optional implementation method, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the rear view structure of this embodiment, as shown below.

[0064] In this embodiment, the height adjustment knob 201 is electrically connected to the control device 7 to achieve intelligent control.
[0065] As an optional implementation method, Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of this embodiment, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the discharge mechanism 5 includes a bearing seat 501, a spiral groove wheel 502, and a drive shaft 503.

[0070] The pneumatic motor 401 can be connected to the air source 8 of the offshore platform, using air supplied by the offshore oil well platform as power. It is fixedly connected to the reducer 402, which provides power to the discharge mechanism 5. It is pneumatically driven and has a high explosion-proof rating. The reducer 402 reduces the speed and increases the torque of the pneumatic motor 401. It is connected to the drive shaft 503 of the discharge mechanism 5 via a coupling 403 and fixedly connected to the hopper 3 via a reducer bracket 404.

[0071] As an optional implementation, the pneumatic conveying device 6 includes a first quick connector 601, a second quick connector 602, and a pneumatic generator 603.
[0072] The pneumatic generator 603 can be connected to the air source 8 of the offshore platform. In this embodiment, the pneumatic generator 603 is preferably connected to the air source 8 of the offshore platform through a quick connector. It is responsible for generating negative pressure to discharge the particles from the hopper 3 and transport them to the annular well. It is pneumatically driven and has a high explosion-proof rating.
[0073] The first quick connector 601 is fixed on the hopper 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first quick connector 601 is a quick male connector, which is fixed on the hopper 3 by bolts.
[0074] One end of the second quick connector 602 is used to connect to the first quick connector 601, and the other end is used to connect to the pneumatic generator 603. In this embodiment, the second quick connector 602 is a quick female connector.
[0075] This solid corrosion inhibitor granule dosing device can reduce particle compression and deformation through the spiral groove wheel 502, improve the uniformity of particle discharge, and generate a large negative pressure with the pneumatic generator 603, making the overall pneumatic delivery more uniform, further reducing clogging, and increasing the discharge efficiency of particles inside the wellbore.
[0076] As an optional implementation, the hopper 3 has an internal receiving cavity that can hold at least 20 kg of pharmaceutical granules. The hopper 3 also provides support for the drive device 4 and a mating cavity for the spiral grooved wheel 502. In this embodiment, the hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the frame by bolts, the drive device 4 is fixed to the hopper 3 by bolts, and the discharge mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the hopper 3 by bolts.

Figure 5As shown, the control device 7 includes an STM32 controller 701, which can regulate different air pressures, adjust the speed of the pneumatic motor 401 and the negative pressure of the pneumatic generator 603, and achieve a high passability and low blockage operation effect.
[0078] Optionally, the control device 7 also includes a pressure sensor 702 and an electronic pressure regulating valve 703. The pressure sensor 702 is a PT131 type pressure sensor, which is responsible for monitoring the gas pressure of the offshore oilfield gas source, ensuring that the gas pressure does not exceed the safety threshold, and transmitting the gas pressure value to the STM32 controller 701.
[0079] The electronic pressure regulating valve 703, which is an I TV2050-312L type electric proportional valve, is responsible for adjusting the air intake of the air source 8 on the offshore platform.
[0080] The STM32 controller 701 adjusts the I TV2050-312L electronic pressure regulating valve based on air pressure data. It can also adjust the air intake of the air source 8 by pressing buttons according to the high or low speed requirements of the operator, thereby controlling the speed of the pneumatic motor 401 and the negative pressure value of the pneumatic generator 603.
[0081] The usage method of this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0082] First, fix the equipment in the designated position, adjust the height of the frame 2, connect the annular connector 1 to the annular well, and the annular connector conduit 102 is responsible for temporarily cleaning the debris inside the well. Connect the air source 8 of the offshore platform to the pneumatic motor 401 and the pneumatic generator 603 respectively.
[0083] Then, add up to 20 kg of medicine granules into the hopper 3, and the machine starts working. The STM32 controller 701 adjusts the air intake of the ITV2050-312L electronic pressure regulating valve 703 by using the value of the PT131 type air pressure sensor 702. In addition, the operator can adjust the required speed by pressing the button. The controller 701 will automatically match the speed with the negative pressure value range of the pneumatic generator 603. Through the cooperation of the spiral groove wheel 502 and the pneumatic conveying device 6, the discharge process is achieved with low breakage and low blockage.
[0084] After completion, the mechanism is disassembled and cleaned.
