Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil drilling engineering technology, specifically to a wellhead anti-falling object device for oil drilling. Background Technology

[0002] A well is a hole drilled using drilling methods. Generally, after drilling to the oil layer, an oil layer casing is run into an oil well, and oil well cement is injected into the annular space between the casing and the well wall to maintain the well wall and seal the oil, gas and water layers. Then, according to the requirements of oilfield development, the oil layer is perforated with a perforating gun to form a channel, and an oil tubing is run into it. Using appropriate flow induction methods, the oil is raised from the bottom of the oil well to the wellhead.

[0003] Currently, when objects fall into the wellhead during oil drilling, it can cause stuck drill bits and damage to downhole instruments and equipment. Therefore, wellhead covers and other protective devices are usually installed at the wellhead to prevent objects from falling into the well. However, existing wellhead anti-falling-object covers are mostly installed using multiple bolts, which results in low installation and disassembly efficiency and poor sealing, causing inconvenience for subsequent well cleaning and maintenance work. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an oil drilling wellhead anti-falling-object device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 The invention discloses a wellhead anti-falling object device for oil wells. The device includes a housing 1, with a cavity 2 inside the housing 1. A positioning slide rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 2. A positioning sleeve 4 is slidably connected to the outside of the positioning slide rod 3. A first wedge block 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning sleeve 4. A protective cover plate 6 is inserted into the top of the housing 1. A second wedge block 7 is movably connected inside the cavity 2. A ball bearing 8 is embedded in the bottom of the second wedge block 7. A fastening ring 9 is threaded onto the outside of the housing 1. A fixing groove is provided inside the protective cover plate 6. The end of the second wedge block 7 away from the ball bearing 8 contacts the inclined surface of the first wedge block 5, and the end of the first wedge block 5 away from the second wedge block 7 contacts the inclined surface of the fixing groove.

[0030] In this embodiment, in actual use, a limiting groove is provided inside the housing 1. A limiting slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second wedge block 7 and slidably connected inside the limiting groove. The cooperation between the limiting groove and the limiting slider can effectively limit the sliding of the second wedge block 7 and prevent the second wedge block 7 from deviating during the sliding process. The outer side of the housing 1 is provided with threads, and friction grooves are provided on the side wall of the fastening ring 9 to facilitate manual rotation of the fastening ring 9 to adjust its lifting and lowering movement. By moving the fastening ring 9 upward to abut against the ball 8, the second wedge block 7 is pushed away from the first wedge block 5. By the first wedge block 5 contacting the inclined surface of the fixing groove, the protective cover plate 6 is tightly fitted to the housing 1.

[0031] It should be noted that there are four first wedge blocks 5, which are distributed in a circle inside the housing 1. A sealing gasket 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. A sealing groove 11 that matches the sealing gasket 10 is opened inside the protective cover plate 6. The protective cover plate 6 fits into the housing 1. Through the cooperation of the sealing gasket 10 and the sealing groove 11, the sealing performance of the device is enhanced, effectively preventing excessive external impurities from entering the oil well, and further improving the safety and reliability of the device.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The positioning slide rod 3 is fitted with a return spring 12. There are two positioning slide rods 3 inside the positioning slide sleeve 4. The return spring 12 can provide a stable return force. When the fastening ring 9 moves downward, the return spring 12 ensures that the positioning slide sleeve 4 can automatically return to the initial position, thereby removing the first wedge block 5 from the limiting state of the protective cover plate 6, making it easy to remove the protective cover plate 6.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The bottom of the fastening ring 9 is provided with a limiting component, which includes a limiting shell 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fastening ring 9. A limiting rod 14 is slidably connected inside the limiting shell 13. A limiting groove is opened inside the shell 1. The limiting rod 14 is inserted into the limiting groove. A limiting ring 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting rod 14. A limiting spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 14. A pull ring 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 14 away from the limiting groove.

[0034] In this embodiment, in actual use, the limiting ring 15 and the limiting spring 16 can provide a stable limiting force. The elastic potential energy of the limiting spring 16 ensures the stable insertion of the limiting rod 14 in the limiting groove, preventing the limiting rod 14 from loosening during use. The design of the pull ring 17 facilitates the pulling operation of the limiting rod 14, improving the ease of use of the device. The limiting component can effectively limit the position of the fastening ring 9, preventing the fastening ring 9 from loosening during use, ensuring the fastening performance of the device, and further improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0035] In this embodiment, in actual use, a handle 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 6, and four base plates 19 arranged in a circular pattern are fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1. The design of the handle 18 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the protective cover 6, improving the ease of use of the device. Holes are opened inside the base plates 19, and bolts (or drill bits) are set in the holes to fix the base plates 19 to the ground. The setting of the base plates 19 enhances the stability of the housing 1 and ensures the stability of the device during use.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] By fitting the housing 1 onto the wellhead of the oil well and fixing the base plate 19 to the ground with bolts (or drill nails), by inserting the protective cover 6 into the inside of the housing 1 and manually rotating the fastening ring 9, the fastening ring 9 moves upward to abut against the ball 8, thereby pushing the second wedge block 7 away from the first wedge block 5. By having the first wedge block 5 contact the inclined surface of the fixing groove, the protective cover 6 is limited and fixed while being tightly fitted to the housing 1. The sealing performance of the device is enhanced by the sealing gasket 10 pressing the inner wall of the sealing groove 11.

[0038] Meanwhile, the limiting component can effectively limit the position of the fastening ring 9 to prevent it from loosening during use. When the protective cover plate 6 needs to be removed, the limiting rod 14 is pulled by the pull ring 17, causing the fastening ring 9 to rotate and move downward. The second wedge block 7 slides down under gravity, and the positioning sleeve 4 can be automatically restored to its initial position by the reset spring 12, thereby canceling the limiting state of the first wedge block 5 on the protective cover plate 6, and the protective cover plate 6 can be easily removed.
