A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11885201B2) discloses a novel sliding sleeve design comprising an upper connector, lower connector, outer housing, inner sleeve, and shear pin. The inner sleeve can open or close a flow guiding hole in the outer housing, with grooves for engaging with tooth-shaped elements on a sliding sleeve opening tool. Additionally, erosion-resistant rings are embedded in the grooves to enhance durability. The inner sleeve may consist of two parts connected by welding or threading, with provisions for sealing rubber barrels and retaining rings to ensure proper functioning. Various movable elements and structures like clamp rings, positioning rings, and sealing rings are incorporated to maintain the integrity of the sliding sleeve during operation. Pressure relief holes and dissolvable structures made of different materials are strategically placed to facilitate the functioning of the sliding sleeve.
Furthermore, the patent details the inclusion of open/close structures like arched position-limiting elastic pieces and anchor-fluke position-limiting elastic pieces to secure the inner sleeve in position when opening or closing the flow guiding hole. Different types of grooves, such as L-shaped and J-shaped grooves, are utilized to block the shear pin effectively. The design also includes specific angles and inclinations in the slots and grooves to optimize the functionality of the sliding sleeve. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive and innovative sliding sleeve design with multiple features and components aimed at improving performance and reliability in various applications.
