For hydraulic system packers, a study was conducted to use polyether polyurethane elastomers to make sealing components such as rubber barrels, sealing rings, and gaskets for underground hydraulic packers, and to add anti protrusion parts to further improve the sealing performance of the packers. Finally, introducing inlet pressurization further improves the performance of the hydraulic system. The results showed that the tensile strength, elongation at break, and compression set rate of the packer rubber cylinder prepared with polyether polyurethane elastic system were 37 MPa, 490%, and 52%, respectively, after half a month of immersion, which showed better performance than natural rubber. Compared to packers without anti protrusion structures, packers with anti protrusion structures have higher contact surface stress, which has a significant positive impact on the performance of hydraulic system packers. After introducing inlet pressurization, the high-pressure chamber pressure and piston displacement of the hydraulic system increased by 4.6% and 8.9%, respectively. The results indicate that measures such as optimizing sealing structure, improving sealing materials, and improving sealing technology can effectively improve the pressure stability, system response stability, and sealing performance of hydraulic systems, providing new ideas and methods for improving hydraulic system performance.
