Detailed description of the invention
Now in conjunction with Figure of description, the invention will be further described.
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a kind of double-layer pipe expansion type external pipe packer, comprise the parts compositions such as expansion base tube 1, packing units 14, top connection 8 and lower contact 9, expansion base tube 1 two ends are processed with top connection 8 and lower contact 9, packing units 14 primarily of expansion outer tube 2, connecting short section 3, upper fixing pipe nipple 4, lower fixing pipe nipple 5, rubber tube 6, seal 7, the formations such as inlet opening 10 and expansion chamber 13.Expansion base tube 1 and expansion outer tube 2 all adopt expandable steel tubular material, and expansion outer tube 2 relative expansion base tube 1 wall thickness is thinner, and more easily realize hydraulic expansion, its shape can be pipe, also can be the opposite sex pipes such as waveform pipe.Expansion outer tube 2 is positioned at outside expansion base tube 1, and upper end is fixedly connected on expansion base tube 1 by connecting short section 3 and upper fixing pipe nipple 4, and lower end is connected with expansion base tube 1 with lower fixing pipe nipple 4 by connecting short section 3.Be processed with Expansion sealing ring 7 with connecting short section 3 with expansion base tube 1 external surface of radial section, Expansion sealing ring 7 can adopt the metal material with certain extension property and be made into loop configuration.Upper fixing pipe nipple 4 and lower fixing pipe nipple 5 lay respectively at packing units 14 two ends, employing expandable material processes, and can expand with expansion base tube 1 simultaneously, is stepped circular tube structure, upper fixing pipe nipple 4 is processed with inlet opening 10, and lower fixing pipe nipple 5 does not process inlet opening 10.
