Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling engineering technology, and in particular to a drilling sealing device under high pressure water inrush. Background Technology

[0002] In geological exploration, borehole plugging is generally used for intermediate and final plugging. In cases of high-pressure water inrush, intermediate plugging ensures the smooth progress of subsequent borehole testing. This condition places strict requirements on the safety and durability of the plugging, ensuring that the plugging device is not flushed out by the water inrush and that the plugging is durable. Currently, bridge plugs and packers are the most commonly used mechanical plugging devices. They achieve wellbore isolation by compressing rubber or metal components. However, they have the following drawbacks in practical applications: 1. The plugging effect depends on the integrity of the wellbore: They are extremely sensitive to wellbore corrosion, deformation, or scaling, resulting in a high risk of seal failure; 2. Poor plugging durability: Rubber materials are prone to aging, and their lifespan is significantly shortened under high temperature and pressure conditions, making it difficult to meet the long-term plugging requirements of deep formations and high-pressure water; 3. Operational complexity: They require specialized setting tools, and the accuracy and success rate of lowering the plugging device are low in deep well operations. Utility Model Content

Multiple second mounting grooves 45 are evenly distributed on the shaft body 41, and a pawl 46 is hinged within each second mounting groove 45. A spring 48 is fixedly connected to the pawl 46, and the other end of the spring 48 is fixedly connected within the second mounting groove 45. The second mounting hole 43 is used to accommodate the mandrel 31, and the second mounting groove 45 is used to mount the pawl 46. The spring 48 provides elasticity to the pawl 46, and the pawl 46 locks the shaft body 41 within the drilled hole. An external thread 42 is formed on the shaft body 41, and an internal thread 13 is formed within the first mounting hole 12. The internal thread 13 is connected to the external thread 42 and engages with the external thread 42 to achieve the threaded connection between the wooden plug 1 and the shaft 41. A connecting shaft 47 is fixedly connected to the jaw 46 and is hinged in the second mounting groove 45.

A limiting groove 44 is provided in the second mounting hole 43, and the limiting member 33 is provided in the limiting groove 44. The first mounting groove 32 is used to install the limiting member 33. The limiting member 33 engages with the limiting groove 44 to restrict the rotation of the mandrel 31 so that the mandrel 31 can be disengaged from the drill rod.

[0022] Working principle: When using this utility model, the fixing component 4, combined with the expansion sleeve 2, locks the device in the drill hole, serving as the base layer for sealing the drill hole. The fixing component 4 is the first layer of sealing, the expansion sleeve 2 is the second layer of sealing, and the wooden plug 1, after being soaked for a long time, will fit tightly against the hole wall, serving as the third layer of sealing, thus sealing the drill hole. The specific operation method is as follows: The mandrel 31 is installed on the drill rod through a threaded connection. The device is lowered to the designated position in the drill hole using the drill rod, and then the drill rod is lifted. Under the elastic action of the spring 48, the chuck 46 is in an open state, which can hook onto the inner wall of the drill hole, preventing the shaft 41 from moving upward. The drill rod drives the mandrel 31 to move upward, and the mandrel 31 drives the tapered shaft 3. Since the expansion sleeve 2 is blocked by the shaft 41, as the tapered shaft 3 moves upward, the expansion sleeve 2 will gradually be stretched open, thus fitting against the inner wall of the drill hole. At this point, the drill rod can be rotated and moved upwards, causing the mandrel 31 to disengage from the drill rod. The wooden plug 1, after absorbing water and expanding, will seal the borehole. The groove 11 is the expansion groove for the wooden plug 1. The first mounting hole 12 is used to accommodate the mandrel 31 and the tapered shaft 3. The internal thread 13 engages with the external thread 42 to achieve a threaded connection between the wooden plug 1 and the shaft 41. The first notch 21, the second notch 22, and the through hole 23 enhance the expansion performance of the expansion sleeve 2. The first mounting groove 32 is used to install the limiting member 33, which engages with the limiting groove 44 to restrict the rotation of the mandrel 31, facilitating its disengagement from the drill rod. The second mounting hole 43 accommodates the mandrel 31. The connecting shaft 47 is used to achieve the hinge connection between the chuck 46 and the second mounting groove 45. A specific application example is as follows: A water conservancy project has a borehole diameter of 76mm and a water inflow of 72m³ / h. 3 Most of the water inflow section comes from 1650m to 2000m. Actual measurements show that the pressurized water pressure reaches 8MPa at a depth of approximately 1700m. To obtain the formation characteristics, a series of comprehensive borehole tests need to be conducted at 1600m. Therefore, the 1650m section needs to be permanently sealed to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent comprehensive borehole tests. Applying this device to this project, its specific parameters are as follows: the outer diameter of the shaft 41 is 60mm; the length of the chuck 46 is 46.5mm, and its thickness is 13mm; the bottom surface of the second mounting groove 45 is 12mm from the center of the shaft 41; the chuck 46 is installed close to the bottom surface of the second mounting groove 45, so the extension distance of the chuck 46 is 26mm. According to trigonometric functions, the chuck 46 will contact the borehole wall after extending approximately 34°; the outer diameter of the wooden plug 1 is 75mm, made of birch wood, and its diameter after expansion is approximately 79.5mm. After long-term soaking, the outer diameter of the birch wood can reach a maximum of 81mm, meeting the sealing requirements.
