Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of annular blowout preventers, and specifically discloses a combined annular blowout preventer sealing core. Background Technology
[0002] Annular blowout preventers (BOPs) are important wellhead control devices in oil drilling and well workover operations. They are mainly used to seal the annular space at the wellhead during drilling to prevent high-pressure fluids (oil, gas, drilling fluid, etc.) from being ejected from the well. They are one of the core devices for ensuring drilling safety and preventing blowout accidents. As the core component of the annular BOP, the sealing performance and service life of the sealing core directly affect the overall performance and operational safety of the BOP.
[0003] Currently, there are many problems with the sealing core of annular blowout preventer in practical applications. When the drill string deviates or drill strings of different sizes are used alternately, conventional sealing cores are difficult to achieve a good sealing effect, which can easily lead to wellhead leakage and safety hazards. Moreover, the combination stability is poor and it is not conducive to current use. Therefore, we propose a combined annular blowout preventer sealing core to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes a combined annular blowout preventer sealing core, which solves the problems of poor sealing effect and safety hazards through an upper core assembly, a lower core assembly, and a locking assembly.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a combined annular blowout preventer sealing core includes an upper core assembly, a sealing strip connected to the bottom surface of the upper core assembly, two sets of through holes on the upper surface of the upper core assembly, two sets of locking components above the upper core assembly, a lower core assembly below the upper core assembly, two sets of threaded cylinders embedded in the upper surface of the lower core assembly, and a sealing groove on the upper surface of the lower core assembly.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the combined annular blowout preventer sealing core of this utility model, the upper core assembly includes an upper support ring and an upper rubber sealing body, wherein the bottom surface of the upper support ring is connected to the upper surface of the upper rubber sealing body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the combined annular blowout preventer sealing core of this utility model, the lower core assembly includes a lower support ring and a lower rubber sealing body, wherein the upper surface of the lower support ring is connected to the bottom surface of the lower rubber sealing body.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the combined annular blowout preventer sealing core of this utility model, each of the locking components includes a screw, and the top of each screw is provided with a hexagonal groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the combined annular blowout preventer sealing core of this utility model, each threaded cylinder is adapted to the screw.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in the present utility model are conventional methods; unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and apparatus used are conventional commercially available products.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A combined annular blowout preventer sealing core includes an upper core assembly 2, with a sealing strip 9 connected to the bottom surface of the upper core assembly 2, two sets of through holes 3 on the upper surface of the upper core assembly 2, two sets of locking components 1 above the upper core assembly 2, and a lower core assembly 5 below the upper core assembly 2. Two sets of threaded cylinders 4 are embedded in the upper surface of the lower core assembly 5, and a sealing groove 11 is formed on the upper surface of the lower core assembly 5.
[0021] In this embodiment: the compatibility between the sealing strip 9 and the sealing groove 11 facilitates the initial enhancement of the sealing performance between the upper glue core assembly 2 and the lower glue core assembly 5, preventing fluid leakage from the connection between the two.
[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper rubber core assembly 2 includes an upper support ring 6 and an upper rubber sealing body 8, with the bottom surface of the upper support ring 6 connected to the upper surface of the upper rubber sealing body 8. The lower rubber core assembly 5 includes a lower support ring 10 and a lower rubber sealing body 7, with the upper surface of the lower support ring 10 connected to the bottom surface of the lower rubber sealing body 7.
[0023] In this embodiment: the upper support ring 6 provides structural support for the upper rubber seal 8, and the lower support ring 10 provides structural support for the lower rubber seal 7, thereby ensuring that the upper rubber seal 8 and the lower rubber seal 7 can maintain a stable shape when subjected to pressure.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, each locking component 1 includes a screw 101, and each screw 101 has a hexagonal groove 102 at its top end. The sealing groove 11 is adapted to the sealing strip 9, and each threaded cylinder 4 is adapted to the screw 101.
[0025] In this embodiment: the hexagonal groove 102 and the external tool are used to facilitate the rotation of the screw 101, and the screw 101 and the threaded cylinder 4 are used to facilitate the tight fit between the upper glue core assembly 2 and the lower glue core assembly 5.
[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the sealing strip 9 on the bottom surface of the upper glue core assembly 2 will be embedded in the sealing groove 11 on the upper surface of the lower glue core assembly 5. By utilizing the compatibility between the sealing strip 9 and the sealing groove 11, the sealing between the upper glue core assembly 2 and the lower glue core assembly 5 is initially enhanced, preventing fluid from leaking from the connection between the two.
[0027] After the screw 101 in the locking assembly 1 passes through the through hole 3 of the upper core assembly 2, it engages with the threaded cylinder 4 on the lower core assembly 5. The screw 101 is tightened by a tool through the hexagonal groove 102, so that the upper core assembly 2 and the lower core assembly 5 fit together tightly.
[0028] The upper support ring 6 in the upper rubber core assembly 2 provides structural support for the upper rubber seal 8, and the lower support ring 10 in the lower rubber core assembly 5 provides structural support for the lower rubber seal 7, ensuring that the upper rubber seal 8 and the lower rubber seal 7 can maintain a stable shape when subjected to pressure.
[0029] When the blowout preventer is subjected to high-pressure fluid, the upper rubber seal 8 and the lower rubber seal 7 will undergo elastic deformation under pressure and shrink towards the center, thereby tightly wrapping the drill bit or tubing passing through it, forming a radial seal, and preventing high-pressure fluid from leaking from the gap between the drill bit and the rubber core.
[0030] The locking assembly 1 maintains a continuous locking force on the upper rubber core assembly 2 and the lower rubber core assembly 5, ensuring that the upper support ring 6 and the lower support ring 10 always provide sufficient support for the rubber seal body. This ensures that the sealing core will not be excessively displaced or damaged due to excessive pressure during the deformation and sealing process, thus guaranteeing the durability and reliability of the sealing effect.
