Abstract

A patching construction method using a hydraulic variable-grade expansion tool for blocking during drilling is provided, which includes a conversion joint, a supporting central pipe, a supporting ring, an expansion pipe, pressure gradient piston subs, double female thread connection subs, T-shaped limiting subs, a tapered centering sub, double male thread central shafts, split supporting subs, an expansion cone, a piston sub with male and female threads, a T-shaped ball compressor, a lower U-shaped pressing sleeve, a ball-seat fixing sleeve, a reciprocating spring, a sealing ball seat, a sealing ball, a tapered guide sub, etc. A patching construction method using a hydraulic variable-grade expansion tool for blocking during drilling, omits the conventional expansion cone sealing manner, and designs a variable pressure gradient expansion tool, so that achieves the objectives of low pressure, large expansion force and reliable sealing, avoids drilling out bottom sealing joint, and reduces the risk of expansion failure.
