[0042] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0043] The present solution provides a telescopic tube structure, which includes a step force balancing module, wherein the step force balancing module includes a balancing outer tube assembly and a balancing inner tube assembly capable of axially moving relative to the balancing outer tube assembly, an outer protrusion is provided on the outer periphery of the balancing inner tube assembly, and an inner protrusion is provided on the inner periphery of the balancing outer tube assembly, the balancing inner tube assembly and the balancing outer tube assembly form an outer chamber 6 located on the upper side of the outer protrusion and an inner chamber 3 located between the outer protrusion and the inner protrusion, the balancing outer tube assembly is provided with an outer pressure transmission hole 5 connected to the outer chamber 6 and the outside of the balancing outer tube assembly, and the balancing inner tube assembly is provided with an inner pressure transmission hole 4 connected to the inner chamber 3 and the inside of the balancing inner tube assembly.
[0044] The step force balancing module is a part of the telescopic tube structure, which is roughly tubular and is mainly used to balance the step force borne by the telescopic tube structure as a whole.
[0045] Among them, the step force balancing module includes a balancing outer tube assembly and a balancing inner tube assembly arranged in the balancing outer tube assembly, an outer protrusion is formed on the outer periphery of the balancing inner tube assembly, and an inner protrusion is formed on the inner periphery of the balancing outer tube assembly. The outer protrusion is located on the upper side of the inner protrusion, and an outer chamber 6 and an inner chamber 3 are formed between the balancing inner tube assembly and the balancing outer tube assembly. The outer chamber 6 is connected to the outside through the outer pressure transmission hole 5 on the balancing outer tube assembly, and the inner chamber 3 is connected to the inside through the inner pressure transmission hole 4.
[0046] The outer protrusion is engaged with the inner circumference of the balancing outer tube assembly, and the inner protrusion is engaged with the inner circumference of the balancing inner tube assembly, so that the outer chamber 6 and the inner chamber 3 are isolated from each other.
[0047] When the step force balancing module is in the well, the fluid outside the balanced outer tube assembly can enter the outer chamber 6 through the external pressure transmission hole 5, and the fluid inside the balanced inner tube assembly can enter the inner chamber 3 through the internal pressure transmission hole 4. Since the internal pressure of the balanced inner tube assembly is greater than the external pressure of the balanced outer tube assembly, the step force acting on the telescopic tube structure can be balanced by the pressure difference between the inner chamber 3 and the outer chamber 6.
[0048] It should be noted that the balancing inner tube assembly can move axially relative to the balancing outer tube assembly to meet the overall telescopic requirements of the telescopic tube structure.
[0049] In this solution, the step force balancing module uses the axial force generated by the pressure difference between the inner and outer chambers to offset the step force, effectively improving the stress state of the pipe string and increasing the safety factor.
[0050] In addition, in some embodiments, the step force balancing module further includes a starting pin 9 that passes through the balancing outer tube assembly and is partially inserted into the balancing inner tube assembly. A positioning groove is provided on the outer periphery of the balancing inner tube assembly to accommodate the insertion of the starting pin 9, thereby limiting the axial relative displacement between the balancing inner tube assembly and the balancing outer tube assembly. When the telescopic tube structure carries an axial load that exceeds the bearing range of the starting pin 9, the starting pin 9 can be sheared off to allow the balancing inner tube assembly to move axially relative to the balancing outer tube assembly to achieve compensation. The provision of the starting pin 9 can ensure that the telescopic tube structure will not be in a displacement compensation state in advance when it is lowered, and shear pins with different shear values and quantities can be installed according to the load safety range. A plurality of starting pins 9 can be provided at circumferential intervals.
[0051] According to actual needs, the starting pin 9 can position the balancing inner tube assembly at the upper limit position, that is, after the starting pin 9 is cut, the balancing inner tube assembly can only move downward from the upper limit position. Of course, in other embodiments, the balancing inner tube assembly can also be positioned at an intermediate position or a lower limit position.
[0052] Specifically, in some embodiments, the balancing inner tube assembly includes a balancing inner tube 2 and a balancing inner tube joint 7 connected to the upper end of the balancing inner tube 2, with the outer protrusion provided on the balancing inner tube joint 7. Referring to FIG1 , the balancing inner tube joint 7 is connected to the upper end of the balancing inner tube 2, and the upper end of the balancing inner tube 2 and the balancing inner tube joint 7 are each provided with a portion of the outer protrusion. The outer protrusion is at least partially sealingly engaged with the inner circumference of the balancing outer tube assembly to isolate the outer chamber 6 from the inner chamber 3.
[0053] Additionally, in some embodiments, a high-pressure seal 10 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the balancing inner pipe joint 7 and located on the outer protrusion. The high-pressure seal 10 improves the sealing performance between the balancing inner pipe joint 7 and the balancing outer pipe assembly, preventing leakage between the outer chamber 6 and the inner chamber 3. The high-pressure seal 10 may include O-rings at both ends and a V-shaped packing seal in the middle. The O-rings scrape away oil and sludge from the sealing surface, while the V-shaped packing seal provides the primary seal.
[0054] In some embodiments, a balancing inner tube sealing end head 8 is sleeved onto the outer periphery of the balancing inner tube joint 7 and positioned below the high-pressure seal 10. The balancing inner tube sealing end head 8 can press against the high-pressure seal 10. The balancing inner tube joint 7 is partially sleeved onto the balancing inner tube 2, and the two are positioned by a positioning pin 11; the balancing inner tube sealing end head 8 and the balancing inner tube joint 7 are also positioned by the positioning pin 11.
[0055] In addition, in some embodiments, the balancing outer tube assembly includes a balancing outer tube 1, a balancing sealing tube 13 connected to the lower end of the balancing outer tube 1, and a high-pressure seal 10 arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the balancing sealing tube 13. The balancing sealing tube 13 is partially inserted into the balancing outer tube 1, and the above-mentioned inner protrusion is formed by the balancing sealing tube 13. As shown in Figure 1, the inner chamber 3 is surrounded by the balancing outer tube 1, the balancing inner tube 2, the balancing inner tube joint 7 and the balancing sealing tube 13. A high-pressure seal 10 is provided between the balancing sealing tube 13 and the balancing inner tube 2 to improve the sealing performance between the two and avoid leakage in the inner chamber 3. The balancing sealing tube 13 and the balancing outer tube 1 are positioned by a positioning pin 11.
[0056] In some embodiments, the balancing outer tube assembly includes a balancing outer tube joint 12 partially inserted into the lower end of the balancing seal tube 13. The upper end of the balancing outer tube joint 12 presses against the high-pressure seal 10 on the inner circumference of the balancing seal tube 13. The balancing outer tube joint 12 is partially inserted into the balancing seal tube 13 and positioned by a positioning pin 11. The balancing outer tube joint 12 can limit the axial movement of the high-pressure seal 10, thereby maintaining it in the target position. The balancing inner tube 2 is sealingly engaged with the balancing outer tube joint 12 and extends from below it.
[0057] In addition, in some embodiments, the telescopic tube structure further includes a guide sliding module connected to the step force balancing module. The guide sliding module includes a guide outer tube assembly connected to the balancing outer tube assembly and a guide inner tube assembly connected to the balancing inner tube assembly. The guide inner tube assembly and the guide outer tube assembly engage with each other through a keyway to enable relative axial movement. One of the guide inner tube assembly and the guide outer tube assembly is provided with an axially extending key, and the other is provided with an axially extending slot. The key is received in the slot, thereby guiding relative axial movement of the two and restricting relative rotation of the two. Under the action of the guide sliding module, the inner tube portion of the telescopic tube structure moves axially relative to its outer tube portion without rotating.
[0058] In some embodiments, the guide outer tube assembly includes a guide outer tube 14, a guide outer tube joint 16 connected to the lower end of the guide outer tube 14, and a guide key 17 provided on the inner periphery of the guide outer tube joint 16. Referring to FIG2 , the guide outer tube joint 16 is partially sleeved on the guide outer tube 14 and positioned by a positioning pin 11 to limit relative rotation between the two. The guide key 17 is provided on the inner periphery of the guide outer tube joint 16, and correspondingly, a groove is provided on the outer periphery of the guide inner tube assembly to cooperate with the guide key 17. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide key 17 may also be provided on the outer periphery of the guide inner tube assembly, and a groove may also be provided on the inner periphery of the guide outer tube assembly.
[0059] In addition, in some embodiments, the guide outer tube assembly further includes a positioning end cap 18 that is partially inserted into the lower end of the guide outer tube connector 16. The guide key 17 is detachably disposed on the inner circumference of the guide outer tube connector 16, and the positioning end cap 18 presses against the lower end of the guide key 17. A strip-shaped positioning groove may be provided on the inner circumference of the guide outer tube connector 16 to partially accommodate the guide key 17. The positioning end cap 18 can press against the guide key 17 to prevent it from detaching.
[0060] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the guide inner tube assembly includes a guide inner tube 15, the outer circumference of which is provided with a guide groove 19 for accommodating the guide key 17. During installation, the guide inner tube 15 can be first inserted into the guide outer tube connector 16, followed by the guide key 17, and finally the positioning end 18. The guide key 17 can be a double-headed key, i.e., its two ends are arc-shaped.
[0061] In some embodiments, a high-pressure seal 10 is provided on the outer circumference of the upper end of the guide inner tube 15. The high-pressure seal 10 is joined to the inner circumference of the guide outer tube 14 to enhance the sealing performance between the guide inner tube 15 and the guide outer tube 14 and prevent leakage.
[0062] In addition, in some embodiments, the guide inner tube assembly further includes a guide inner tube sealing end head 20 partially sleeved on the upper end of the guide inner tube 15, and the guide inner tube sealing end head 20 presses the high-pressure seal 10. The guide inner tube sealing end head 20 is inserted between the upper ends of the guide inner tube 15 and the guide outer tube 14, and can press the high-pressure seal 10.
[0063] The guide sliding module can be connected to the upper end of the step force balancing module. As shown in FIG6 , the guide outer tube joint 16 is partially inserted into the balancing outer tube 1 , the two being threadedly connected and positioned by a locating pin 11 to restrict relative rotation. The guide inner tube 15 is inserted into the balancing inner tube joint 7 , the two being threadedly connected and positioned by a locating pin 11 . The lower end of the locating end 18 engages the upper end surface of the balancing inner tube joint 7 . The balancing inner tube joint 7 , the balancing outer tube 1 , and the locating end 18 enclose the outer chamber 6 described above.
[0064] In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , the telescopic tube structure further includes an upper connector 21 connected to the upper end of the guide outer tube assembly. As shown in Figure 5 , the upper connector 21 can be inserted into the guide outer tube 14 , the two being threadedly connected and positioned by the positioning pin 11 .
[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the telescopic tube structure further includes a lower connector 22 connected to the lower end of the balancing inner tube assembly. As shown in FIG8 , the lower end of the balancing inner tube 2 is partially inserted into the lower connector 22, the two being threadedly connected and positioned by a locating pin 11.
[0066] In some embodiments, multiple step force balancing modules can be set as needed, and the step force balancing modules can be connected in sequence. Referring to Figure 7, in the outer tube part, the lower end of the balancing outer tube joint 12 is inserted into the upper end of the balancing outer tube 1, and the two are threadedly connected and positioned by the positioning pin 11. In the inner tube part, the lower end portion of the balancing inner tube 2 is inserted into the balancing inner tube joint 7, and the lower end surface of the balancing outer tube joint 12 is engaged with the lower end surface of the balancing inner tube joint 7. The outer chamber 6 is surrounded by the balancing inner tube joint 7, the balancing outer tube joint 12 and the balancing outer tube 1.
[0067] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, Figure 9 shows the stress on the inner tube portion of a conventional telescopic tube, and Figure 10 shows the stress on the outer tube portion of a conventional telescopic tube, where A is the cross-sectional area at each position and P is the pressure. The overall stress on the inner tube and the overall stress on the outer tube are respectively:
[0068] F 内 =P i [(A4-A2)+(A8-A4)]+P o[(A5-A6)-(A5-A3)-(A3-A1)-(A8-A6)]
[0069] .....=P i (A8-A2)+P o (A1-A8)
[0070] F 外 =-P i [(A8-A9)+(A9-A12)]+P o [(A7-A10)+(A10-A11)-(A7-A8)]
[0071] .....=P i (A12-A8)+P o (A8-A11)
[0072] Referring to Figures 11 and 12, Figure 11 shows the stress on the inner tube portion of the telescopic tube of this solution, and Figure 12 shows the stress on the outer portion of the telescopic tube of this solution, where A is the cross-sectional area at each position, and P is the pressure. The overall stress on the inner tube and the overall stress on the outer tube are respectively:
[0073] F 内筒 =Pi[(A4-A2)+(A6-A4)-2(A8-A6)]+Po[(A5-A6)+2(A8-A6)-(A5-A1)]=Pi(3A6-A2-2A8)+Po(A1+2A8-3A6)
[0074] F 外筒 =Pi[2(A8-A6)-(A6-A9)-(A9-A12)]+Po[(A7-A11)-2(A8-A6)-(A7-A6)]=Pi(2A8+A12-3A6)+Po(3A6-2A8-A11)
[0075] The force comparison calculations of the traditional telescopic tube and the new telescopic tube were carried out under different working conditions. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0076] Table 1 Force results of telescopic tubes under different parameters in the prior art
[0077] Table 2 Stress results of the telescopic tube structure of this scheme
[0078] Referring to the calculation results, it can be seen that under different working conditions, the step force of the telescopic tube structure of this scheme is much smaller than that of the traditional telescopic tube. This scheme uses the pressure difference to achieve axial force balance of the telescopic tube.
