For these situations, casing recovery primarily involves using taps for extraction or abandoning the broken casing inside the borehole. However, existing technologies for recovering fallen or broken casing are complex, require numerous tools, and have a low success rate. There is an urgent market need for a method applicable to various exploration casing recovery methods that can efficiently and conveniently recover fallen or broken casing, effectively saving manpower, material resources, and financial costs.

[0021] The embodiment provides a recovery device applicable to various types of exploration casing, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the recycling device includes a main shaft 2, a pull rod 3, a limiting baffle 5, and a sleeve clamping assembly installed at the lower part of the main shaft 2. The upper end of the main shaft 2 is provided with a threaded joint 1 for connecting with the drill pipe. A vertical sliding hole 9 is opened in the upper part of the main shaft 2. The pull rod 3 passes horizontally through the vertical sliding hole 9 and is slidably connected with the vertical sliding hole 9. A first pull rope 12 is provided on the pull rod 3. The sleeve clamping assembly is located at the lower part of the main shaft 2. The sleeve clamping assembly includes a connecting shaft 7 and two crescent-shaped or arc-shaped clamping blocks 6 rotatably installed on the connecting shaft 7. A hollow clamping block receiving groove 10 is correspondingly opened at the lower part of the main shaft 2. The connecting shaft 7 passes horizontally through the clamping block receiving groove 10 and is fixed. Two snap-fit blocks 6 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting shaft 7 at the bottom of the snap-fit block storage groove 10. A spring 8 is provided between the two snap-fit blocks 6 and is sleeved on the connecting shaft 7. The two ends of the spring 8 are respectively snapped into the slots on the two snap-fit blocks 6. When the spring 8 is in normal state, the two snap-fit blocks 6 are horizontally opened and extended out of the snap-fit block storage groove 10. Two limiting baffles 5 are provided and are symmetrically arranged at the upper part of the slots on both sides of the snap-fit block storage groove 10. Vertical sliding grooves 11 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the slots of the snap-fit block storage groove 10. Two vertical sliding grooves 11 are provided on each side of the slot of the snap-fit block storage groove 10. The two vertical sliding grooves 11 are symmetrically arranged. The limiting baffles 5 are slidably connected to the two vertical sliding grooves 11 through two sliders. Two limiting baffles 5 are slidably installed in the vertical slide grooves 11 on both sides via sliders. The pull rod 3 is connected to the two limiting baffles 5 via the second pull rope 4. Under the action of external force, the two locking blocks 6 compress the spring 8 and retract into the locking block receiving groove 10, and are limited by the two limiting baffles 5. In the limited state, the two limiting baffles 5 are placed at the lowest end of the vertical slide groove 11. At this time, the pull rod 3 is also located at the lowest end of the vertical slide hole 9. The concave surfaces of the two locking blocks 6 face upward, and multiple conical teeth 13 are provided on the outer arc wall of each locking block 6.
[0022] In the embodiment, the recycling device, in its operating state, such as Figure 7 As shown, after being installed on the exploration casing 15, the first pull rope 12 extends upward along the inner or outer wall of the main shaft 2 to the opening of the exploration borehole 14. When the pull rod 3 slides upward along the vertical sliding hole 9, it drives the two limit baffles 5 to move upward along the vertical sliding groove 11, and the two locking blocks 6 automatically pop out from the locking block storage groove 10.
[0023] If the exploration casing sinks and falls due to loose strata, this utility model can be used for casing extraction and recovery. The extraction process of this utility model is further explained below with reference to specific embodiments. The specific usage process is as follows:
[0024] S1. First, the depth of the fallen casing is measured manually; if the casing remains in the hole due to breakage, the depth of the remaining casing 15 in the borehole is estimated based on the length of the extracted casing.
[0025] S2. Connect the recycling device of this utility model to the drill rod 16 through the connector and install it on the drilling machine; and put the two locking blocks 6 of the casing recycling device into the locking block storage groove 10, and limit them by the limiting baffle 5 to prevent the locking blocks 6 from popping out.
[0026] S3. Use a drilling rig to lower the drill rod 16 with the casing recovery device into the exploration borehole 14. According to the casing depth measured in S1, lower the casing recovery structure into the casing to be recovered. The casing recovery device should be lowered to about 30-50cm below the casing opening.
[0027] S4. After the casing retrieval device is lowered to the designated position, the first pull rope 12 is manually pulled at the orifice. The pull rope 12 pulls the pull rod 3, causing it to move upwards along the vertical sliding hole 9. During this upward movement, the second pull rope 4 raises the limiting baffle 5. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the limit baffle 5 is raised, the two locking blocks 6 are automatically released under the action of the spring 8 and closely adhere to the inner wall of the exploration sleeve 15. At this time, under the action of the spring force, the tip of the conical tooth 13 on the outer side of the locking block 6 is embedded into the inner wall of the sleeve, which can effectively increase the friction between the locking block 6 and the sleeve wall.
[0028] S5. Use the drilling rig power system to pull the drill rod 16 upward. The greater the upward pulling force, the greater the friction between the clamping block 16 and the exploration casing 15, thus achieving the effect of pulling out the exploration casing 15.
[0029] S6. After the casing is recovered, the casing recovery device is pushed down manually. During the downward push, the two locking blocks 16 slowly close, and the casing recovery device can be taken out of the exploration casing 15 for recovery.
[0030] In this embodiment, the pressure required for the conical teeth 13 to press into the sleeve sidewall can be calculated using the following formula. Based on the calculated minimum pressure, a spring is customized to ensure that the conical teeth can be embedded in the sleeve wall when the half-moon wheel pops out.
[0031] The formula for calculating the pressure of the tapered tooth 13 pressed into the casing sidewall is:
[0032]
[0033] Where F is the pressure N exerted by the pyramidal cutting teeth pressing into the side wall of the casing;
[0034] K is a constant coefficient, which is generally taken as 1.5~1.8 considering the contact gap and the mechanical properties of the material;
[0035] S — Shear strength of the material (N / mm²) 2 );
[0036] C — Tensile strength of the material (N / mm2)
[0037] t — the cone indentation depth (mm);
[0038] δ — the diameter (mm) of the corresponding position of the pressed cone.
[0039] In this embodiment, the maximum torsion spring reaction force of the preset snap-fit block 6 is 4kN, with an action angle of 135°; the pressing depth t of the five preset pyramids is 1-2mm; the diameter of the corresponding position of the pressed-in pyramid is 2-4mm; the shear strength S of the Q460 steel on the sidewall of the casing is 235MPa; the tensile strength C of the Q460 steel on the sidewall of the casing is 550MPa; the coefficient constant K is taken as 1.8 for safety. Therefore, the pressure F of the conical teeth pressing into the sidewall of the casing is F = 5 * 1 * 2 * 235N = 2.35kN.
[0040] In this embodiment, the outer wall resistance of the casing is related to the formation. Based on slightly dense sandy soil, the standard value of the side friction resistance qsk is 70 kPa. With a casing outer diameter of 120 mm and a burial depth of 6 m, the side friction resistance value FN = 70 * π * 0.12 * 6 kN = 158.26 kN. Force analysis shows that the casing can be pulled out when the lower limit of the pull-out force is 158.26 kN.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
