Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119 and the Paris Convention Treaty, this application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201010226167.1 filed on Jun. 29, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a pumping unit, and more particularly to a crank-type non-beam pumping unit.
2. Description of the Related Art
Nowadays pumping units are widely used, and are divided into two types: a beam pumping unit, and a vertical pumping unit. The beam pumping unit features large number of components, complex structure, high production cost, low mechanical efficiency, and poor economy. As for the vertical pumping unit, there are several problems therewith: transportation thereof is inconvenient, and special equipments must be used to move it during workover operation; moreover, this type of pumping unit cannot meet requirement for coordinate installation of multiple pumping units among multiple oil wells.
In view of the above-described problem, it is an objective of the invention to provide a crank non-beam pumping unit that is capable of addressing the above-mentioned problems.
To achieve the above objectives, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, provided is a crank non-beam pumping unit, comprising a belt, a foundation, a crown sheave, a frame, a support rod, a belt pulley, a pin shaft, a crank, a transmission shaft, and a bracket, the bottom of the frame is disposed on the foundation, the top of the frame is supported by the support rod, the top of the support rod is hinge connected to the frame, the bottom of the support rod is hinge connected to the foundation, the bracket is disposed on the foundation, the transmission shaft is disposed on the bracket, the crank is disposed on the transmission shaft, the bracket and the crank are symmetric, the crank rotates synchronously with the transmission shaft, the belt pulley is disposed on one end of the crank via the pin shaft, one end of the belt bypasses the crown sheave, and is connected to a smooth sucker rod, and the other end of the belt is wrapped on the belt pulley.
In a class of this embodiment, two or more of the pumping units are serially connected, the crown sheave, the frame, the support rod, the belt, the belt pulley, the pin shaft, the crank, the transmission shaft, the bracket, and the foundation of each of the pumping units is the same, one end of the transmission shaft is connected to a power supply, the other end of the transmission shaft is connected to a crank of a first pumping unit, the other crank of the first pumping unit is connected to an end of a second transmission shaft, the other end of the second transmission shaft is connected to a crank of a second pumping unit, an end of a third transmission shaft is connected to the other crank of the second pumping unit, cranks of the pumping units are staggered mounted, and stagger angles between cranks of each of the pumping unit are the same.
In a class of this embodiment, the other end of the belt bypasses the belt pulley, and is fixed on the foundation.
In a class of this embodiment, a length regulator is disposed on the support rod.
In a class of this embodiment, the bottom of the frame is hinge connected to the foundation.
Advantages of the invention comprise: as a power supply drives the transmission shaft to rotate, the crank synchronously rotates therewith, the belt pulley rotates with respect to the transmission shaft, and a connection terminal between the belt and the smooth sucker rod reciprocally moves up and down, and drives the smooth sucker rod to pump oil; the invention has no beam, and thus structure thereof is simple; multiple pumping units can be connected to the transmission shaft, which makes the invention meet requirement for coordinate installation of multiple pumping units among multiple oil wells, and thus improving mechanical efficiency, and reducing power consumption, and therefore, the invention has significant economic benefit.
FIG 3 shows a schematic view of two crank non-beam pumping units connected to one another.
Further description of the invention will be given below in conjunction with accompanying drawings.
As shown in
The bottom of the frame 2 is disposed on the foundation 11, and the top of the frame 2 is supported by the support rod 3.
The top of the support rod 3 is hinge connected to the frame 2, and the bottom of the support rod 3 is hinge connected to the foundation 11.
The bracket 10 is disposed on the foundation 11.
The transmission shaft 9 is disposed on the bracket 10, the crank 8 is disposed on the transmission shaft 9, and the bracket 10 and the crank 8 are symmetric.
The crank 8 rotates synchronously with the transmission shaft 9.
The belt pulley 6 is disposed on one end of the crank 8 via the pin shaft 7.
One end of the belt 4 bypasses the crown sheave 1, and is connected to a smooth sucker rod, and the other end of the belt 4 is wrapped on the belt pulley 6.
The other end of the belt 4 bypasses the belt pulley 6, and is fixed on the foundation 11.
A length regulator 5 is disposed on the support rod 3. By adjusting the length regulator 5, the frame 2 leans back and is beyond movement range of a travelling block of a production rig. At this time, workover operation can be done, and no extra equipment is required to move it, and the workover operation is very convenient.
The bottom of the frame 2 is hinge connected to the foundation 11. As the frame 2 leans back by adjustment of the length regulator 5, the frame 2 rotates with respect to a hinge connection point between the bottom thereof and the foundation 11.
The crank non-beam pumping unit of the invention can be used independently, or multiple crank non-beam pumping units can be coordinately used among multiple oil wells, which make the invention especially suitable for cluster wells production.
As shown in
An output shaft on a reduction box of the power supply is integrated with the transmission shaft 9.
As the crank non-beam pumping unit of the invention is used independently, and alternating loads are comparatively large, a counterweight can be added on the other end of the crank 8 whereby facilitating balance.
As the crank non-beam pumping unit of the invention is used independently, and alternating loads are comparatively large, a counterweight can be added on the other end of the crank 8 whereby facilitating balance.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
