Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geothermal well protection technology, specifically a protective casing for geothermal wells. Background Technology
[0002] Geothermal wells are engineering facilities that drill deep underground to obtain geothermal energy or hot spring water resources with a temperature >30℃. In order to reinforce the well wall and reduce heat energy transmission loss, protective casings are often installed inside the geothermal well.
[0003] Existing patent document CN219953256U discloses a protective casing for geothermal wells, comprising two sets of elastic clamping components and a locking structure. The two sets of elastic clamping components form a cylindrical cavity through which the pump pipe passes, and both sets elastically abut against the outer wall of the pump pipe to clamp it. The locking structure locks the two sets of combined elastic clamping components. Multiple sets of connecting components are provided, each set spaced around the axis of the cylindrical cavity on a collar structure. Each set of connecting components elastically abuts and rolls against the well casing during the lifting or lowering of the pump pipe. This utility model provides a protective casing for geothermal wells that aims to solve the problem in the prior art where the pump pipe directly and rigidly contacts the geothermal well casing, easily causing damage to the well casing and affecting the lifespan of the geothermal well.
[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: The elastic clamping assembly forms a cylindrical cavity by enclosing two sets of clamping structures, but if the pump tube has a large size error or an irregular shape, the clamping force may not be evenly distributed by elastic contact alone, which may cause the pump tube to deviate slightly or vibrate during movement. Secondly, the elastic element of the elastic clamping assembly may experience elastic decay due to fatigue or high temperature environment downhole after long-term use, which will reduce the clamping effect, and there is a lack of vibration damping structure.
