For example, the patent document with announcement number CN118582188A discloses a valve device for downhole fluid control. This device sets a valve core element in a sealed inner cavity between the base and the gland, and forms a contraction edge on the outer edge of the valve plate facing the inlet. At the same time, it uses an elastic element to provide a closing thrust for the valve core element, so that the valve core element is easily affected by external interference under the action of Bernoulli's principle and forms a closing action.

[0003] However, when the above-mentioned device is in use, the fluid is directly extracted from the well, resulting in a large number of impurities inside the fluid. When the fluid passes through the inside of the valve, the impurities are easy to accumulate inside the valve body, which affects the sealing and fluid transport control effect during the opening and closing process of the valve body.

[0024] This utility model discloses a downhole fluid valve control device with self-cleaning function.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The device shown is a downhole fluid valve control device with self-cleaning function, including a control valve 1 and a valve plate 2 disposed inside the control valve 1. A valve stem 3 is rotatably inserted through the top of the control valve 1, and the bottom of the valve stem 3 is inserted into the control valve 1 and fixedly connected to the valve plate 2. The valve stem 3 is arranged in a vertically continuous tubular shape, and a connecting pipe 4 is rotatably inserted through the upper end. The valve plate 2 is hollow and has multiple spaced liquid outlet holes 5 on its side. Two symmetrically arranged sealing rings 19 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the valve plate 2. The sealing rings 19 are in contact with the inner wall of the control valve 1. The multiple liquid outlet holes 5 are located between the two sealing rings 19. A cleaning fluid tank 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the control valve 1. The end of the connecting pipe 4 is inserted into the cleaning fluid tank 6, and a pump 7 is fixedly sleeved on the wall of the connecting pipe 4.

[0027] The lower end of the valve stem 3 is provided with a rotating spraying mechanism for driving the valve plate 2 to rotate. The rotating spraying mechanism includes a drive motor 8. A support plate 9 is fixedly provided on the top of the control valve 1. A reinforcing plate 14 is fixedly provided on the top of the support plate 9. The connecting pipe 4 is located in a rigid plastic pipe and is fixedly provided inside the reinforcing plate 14. A worm gear 10 is rotatably passed through the side of the support plate 9. A worm wheel 11 is fitted on the worm gear 10. The worm wheel 11 is fixedly sleeved on the stem wall of the valve stem 3. The drive motor 8 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the outer wall of the support plate 9, and a drive bevel gear 12 is fixedly provided at the end of the output shaft. A transmission bevel gear 13 is fixedly sleeved on the stem wall of the worm gear 10. The drive bevel gear 12 and the transmission bevel gear 13 are fitted together.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Example 2, based on Example 1, aims to ensure that the internal components of the cleaning fluid are evenly mixed and sprayed onto the inner wall of control valve 1 during the spraying process. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the cleaning fluid tank 6 is connected to an injection pipe 17, and a sealing plug 18 is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the injection pipe 17. A crossbar 15 is rotatably inserted through the side of the cleaning fluid tank 6, and a stirring blade 16 is fixedly sleeved on the wall of the crossbar 15. The stirring blade 16 is located inside the cleaning fluid tank 6, and the crossbar 15 is welded and fixed to the worm gear 10.

[0030] Working principle: During the fluid transport process, the fluid is transported and controlled by the rotation of the valve plate 2 inside the control valve 1. When there is no fluid flow inside the control valve 1, the infusion pump 7 draws cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid tank 6 and transports it to the hollow valve plate 2 through the hollow pipe in the valve stem 3. The valve plate 2 is driven by the drive motor 8 to drive the bevel gear 12 to rotate. The meshing of the drive bevel gear 12 and the transmission bevel gear 13 drives the worm gear 10 to rotate. At the same time, through the cooperation of the worm gear 10 and the worm wheel 11, the valve stem 3 rotates stably and drives the valve plate 2 to rotate. At this time, the liquid outlet 5 on the side of the valve plate 2 sprays the cleaning fluid at high speed, forming an annular covering flow to flush the inner wall of the control valve 1 and dissolve impurities such as oil stains and mud.

[0031] Meanwhile, when the worm gear 10 rotates, it links the stirring blades 16 in the cleaning fluid tank 6 through the crossbar 15 to prevent the cleaning fluid solute from precipitating and stratifying, ensuring uniform spray concentration. After the cleaning fluid that dissolves impurities is mixed with the downhole fluid, it is discharged from the valve by means of fluid pressure and flow rate to avoid secondary accumulation. In addition, the sealing ring 19 on the outer wall of the valve plate 2 fits against the inner wall of the control valve 1, which not only ensures valve sealing but also limits the spray range of the outlet hole 5 to prevent cleaning fluid leakage.

[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
