The invention relates to a variable-amplitude hydraulic oscillator, and belongs to the technical field of
petroleum and
natural gas well drilling matching tools. The tool aims at solving the problems that a traditional hydraulic oscillator is single in vibration mode, and equipment is prone to damage and low in efficiency due to the fact that the amplitude cannot be adjusted. The device structurally comprises a flow conversion short section, an
axial vibration short section, a power short section and a
radial vibration short section which are connected in sequence. The flow conversion short section achieves switching of a
high amplitude mode, a low amplitude mode and a closing mode through the synergistic effect of a hole-shaped
piston, a
ratchet wheel and a flow channel conversion mandrel and by means of interruption and
recovery of fluid flowing. The
axial vibration short section adopts a two-stage
piston structure to generate efficient
axial vibration, the power short section is matched with a dynamic valve plate and a static valve plate through a screw rotor to generate high-frequency pressure pulses, and the
radial vibration short section forms
transverse vibration by means of centrifugal movement of a
pendulum ball. By adjusting the fluid path, the tool can output shock
waves of different amplitudes, friction between a drilling tool and the well wall is reduced, and meanwhile
fluid pressure is maintained in a closed mode so that clamping stagnation of a
pipe column can be avoided. The invention has the beneficial effects of prolonging the service life of equipment, improving the drilling efficiency, reducing the risk of jamming of the drilling tool and adapting to
complex formation conditions.
