Abstract

A spiral deployed isolation tool includes a central pipe having an outer surface in a conical shape and an axial through hole, and an anchoring sealing structure. The anchoring sealing structure is matched and sleeved on the outer surface of the central pipe. The anchoring sealing structure has a first sealing section and an anchoring section. The first sealing section is located at a larger end of the central pipe. The anchoring section includes a plurality of slips, the first sealing section includes a plurality of first spiral sealing rings. The plurality of slips 221 correspond to the plurality of first spiral sealing rings one by one to respectively form an integral structure. The plurality of slips are uniformly expanded in a radial direction, thereby achieving uniform circumferential distribution of slips, so that the slips are evenly anchored on an inner wall of the whole wellbore.
