The utility model discloses a novel two-direction-setting packer. The packer comprises a center pipe and rubber barrels arranged on the outer middle portion of the center pipe in a sleeved mode. A protruding partition ring table is arranged on the outer middle portion of the center pipe. The rubber barrels include the upper rubber barrel and the lower rubber barrel, wherein the upper rubber barrel is located above the partition ring table, and the lower rubber barrel is located below the partition ring table. An upper rubber barrel compression device arranged on the outside of the center pipe in a sleeved mode is arranged above the upper rubber barrel, and a lower rubber barrel compression device arranged on the outside of the center pipe in a sleeved mode is arranged below the lower rubber barrel. An upper center pipe is arranged in the center pipe in a sleeved mode, the upper end of the upper center pipe is exposed out of the center pipe to serve as an upper connector, the lower end of the center pipe is connected with a lower connector, and a deblocking shear pin is arranged between the upper center pipe and the center pipe. Setting of the upper rubber barrel and setting of the lower rubber barrel can be dependently carried out by applying hydraulic pressure to the interior of an oil pipe and making the pressure of the interior of the oil pipe reach a designed value, deblocking is controlled by an upward-lifting tubular column, and reliability of carrying out setting of the packer underground is improved.
