First embodiment:
The first embodiment of the invention relates to a rapidly degradable sealing structure, which at least comprises a hollow truncated cone-shaped degradable metal cone 1, referring to fig. 1, wherein the outer wall of the degradable metal cone 1 is sleeved with a degradable metal sealing ring 2 and a degradable metal bearing ring 4 which are mutually clung, the degradable metal sealing ring 2 is close to the large-caliber end of the degradable metal cone 1 and is sleeved at the large-caliber end in a tensioning manner, the outer wall of the degradable metal sealing ring 2 is provided with an annular groove 10, the annular groove 10 is sleeved with a degradable rubber sealing ring 3, and the cavity wall of a hollow cavity of the degradable metal cone 1 extends towards the axial center line to form a bearing cavity 7 for bearing a soluble ball.
The working principle of the rapidly degradable sealing structure is as follows:
placing a rapidly degradable sealing structure between an adapter 13 of a setting tool and a push cylinder 14 of the setting tool and putting the rapidly degradable sealing structure into a sleeve 11 along with the setting tool, wherein a large-caliber end of a degradable metal cone 1 is connected with the adapter 13, so that the degradable metal cone 1 and the adapter 13 are coaxial, and a small-caliber end of the degradable metal cone 1 is connected with the push cylinder 14;
fig. 1 shows an initial state of the sealing mechanism, balls are thrown into a well, the soluble balls enter the receiving cavity 7 to seal an internal fluid channel, internal sealing is achieved, the pushing cylinder 14 pushes the degradable metal bearing ring 4 and the degradable metal sealing ring 2 to slide along the outer wall of the degradable metal cone 1 from the small-caliber end to the large-caliber end, the degradable metal sealing ring 2 and the degradable metal bearing ring 4 expand in diameter at the same time until the degradable metal sealing ring 2 and the degradable metal bearing ring 4 are close to the shoulder 8 and do not shade any through hole 6, and at the moment, the outer surface of the degradable metal sealing ring 2, the outer surface of the degradable rubber sealing ring 3 and the outer surface of the degradable metal bearing ring 4 are all clung to the inner wall of the sleeve 11, as shown in fig. 6, and sealing and packing are completed.
The adaptor 13 and the plunger 14 may be a bridge plug adaptor or a bridge plug plunger, or may be a tee adaptor or a tee plunger, that is, may be an adaptor or a plunger of any setting tool, without limitation.
It can be seen that the sealing mechanism is mainly made of two materials, namely degradable metal and degradable rubber, wherein the sealing ring and the bearing ring are both made of the degradable metal, the difference is that the sealing ring is made of the degradable metal with high elongation, and the bearing ring is made of the degradable metal with high strength, namely, the two materials have different metal characteristics, because the degradable metal sealing ring 2 has the functions of sealing and needs large deformation amount during diameter expansion, and the degradable metal bearing ring 4 is used for supporting the pressure difference between segments born by the degradable metal sealing ring 2 so as to prevent the degradable metal sealing ring 2 from being crushed. For the above reasons, the degradable metal seal ring 2 and the degradable metal backup ring 4 are made of different metal materials.
Considering that the soluble rubber sealing piece is slow in dissolution speed and long in degradation time after fracturing is finished, only the degradable rubber sealing ring 3 is made of a soluble rubber material, so that sealing can be ensured, and the volume of the rubber material with a low degradation speed can be reduced to the greatest extent.
The stress analysis of the sealing mechanism is shown in fig. 7, when the degradable metal sealing ring 2 and the degradable metal pressure-bearing ring 4 are tightly attached to the casing wall, the sealing mechanism completes the mechanism movement, and at this time, the degradable metal sealing ring 2 and the degradable metal pressure-bearing ring 4 generate an outward thrust and a reverse friction force to the degradable metal cone 1, in order to prevent the mechanism failure caused by extrusion of the degradable metal cone 1, the horizontal component force of the friction force should be greater than the horizontal component force of the positive pressure F, so as to realize the self-locking of the mechanism, namely, F eta cos theta > Fsin theta (wherein F is the positive pressure of the degradable metal cone 1, eta is the friction coefficient, and theta is the cone angle of the degradable metal cone 1), therefore, the sealing mechanism can realize self-locking by adjusting the friction coefficient eta and the cone angle theta at the same time, and the following concrete steps are as follows:
(1) When the taper angle theta is too small, the mechanism is easy to realize self-locking, but the tool length is too long, and when the taper angle theta is too large, the thrust required by the diameter expansion of the degradable metal sealing ring 2 and the degradable metal bearing ring 4 is increased, through test detection, the mechanism can realize safe self-locking when the taper angle of the degradable metal cone 1 is 12-13 degrees, the mechanism length can be furthest reduced, and the setting force is adjusted to be within a reasonable range.
(2) The hardness of the material is regulated, when the Brinell hardness of the degradable metal bearing ring 4 is greater than the Brinell hardness of the degradable metal cone 1 by HB10-20, the two materials are subjected to micro plastic deformation in the extrusion and diameter expansion process, and the microstructures are mutually embedded, so that the self-locking can be realized by increasing the friction coefficient eta.
Second embodiment:
The embodiment relates to a rapidly degradable sealing structure, referring to fig. 1, at least comprising a hollow truncated cone-shaped degradable metal cone 1, wherein a degradable metal sealing ring 2 and a degradable metal bearing ring 4 which are mutually clung are sleeved on the outer wall of the degradable metal cone 1 in a sliding way, the degradable metal sealing ring 2 is close to the large-caliber end of the degradable metal cone 1 and is sleeved on the large-caliber end in a tightening way, an annular groove 10 is formed in the outer wall of the degradable metal sealing ring 2, a degradable rubber sealing ring 3 is sleeved in the annular groove 10, and a bearing cavity 7 for bearing a soluble ball is formed by extending the cavity wall of a hollow cavity of the degradable metal cone 1 towards the axial center line.
Referring to fig. 1 and 8, the surface of the degradable metal cone 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 6 communicated with the hollow cavity, and all the through holes 6 are spirally distributed along the surface of the degradable metal cone 1. The spiral hole distribution on the degradable metal cone 1 can increase the contact area with the dissolution liquid and reduce the volume of the soluble metal, the sealing mechanism can be quickly dissolved after the fracturing is finished, the full-diameter of the well bore after the fracturing can be kept, in addition, the spiral hole distribution can prevent the overstress of the degradable metal cone 1 on the same cross section, and the tensile strength of the degradable metal cone 1 is ensured to the greatest extent.

The star-shaped degradable rubber sealing ring in the groove of the sealing ring is used for ensuring filling of irregular gaps between the sleeve and the sealing ring and effectively sealing tiny gaps between the sleeve and the sealing ring when the dimensional deviation of the inner wall of the sleeve is large.

Therefore, the sealing mechanism can achieve self-locking by adjusting the friction coefficient η and the cone angle θ at the same time, as follows: (i)当锥角θ过小时,机构容易实现自锁,但会使工具长度过长,而当锥角θ过大时会增加可降解金属密封环(2)和可降解金属承压环(4)扩径时所需的推力,经试验检测,可降解金属锥体(1)的锥角在12°~13°时可实现机构安全自锁,并能最大限度缩减机构长度,并调整坐封力至合理的范围内;(i) When the cone angle θ is too small, the mechanism can easily achieve self-locking, but the tool length will be too long. When the cone angle θ is too large, the thrust required for the degradable metal sealing ring (2) and the degradable metal pressure ring (4) to expand will increase. According to tests, when the cone angle of the degradable metal cone (1) is between 12° and 13°, the mechanism can achieve safe self-locking, and the length of the mechanism can be reduced to the maximum extent, and the sealing force can be adjusted to a reasonable range. (ii)调整材料硬度,当可降解金属承压环(4)的布氏硬度比可降解金属锥体(1)的布氏硬度大HB10-20,在挤压扩径过程中二者发生微塑性变形,微观组织互相嵌入,因此增大摩擦系数η可以实现自锁。(ii) Adjusting the material hardness: When the Brinell hardness of the degradable metal pressure ring (4) is greater than the Brinell hardness of the degradable metal cone (1) by HB10-20, micro-plastic deformation occurs between the two during the extrusion and diameter expansion process, and the microstructures are embedded in each other, thereby increasing the friction coefficient η to achieve self-locking. 2.如权利要求1所述的可快速降解的密封结构,其特征在于:所述可降解金属锥体(1)的表面开设有与中空腔体连通的若干个通孔(6),所有的通孔(6)沿可降解金属锥体(1)的表面呈螺旋形分布。2.
