This disclosure relates to a non-metallic elastic sealing ring, a soft-seal
oil pump, and a sealing method. The non-metallic elastic sealing ring includes a non-closed ring body; the upper surface of the non-closed ring body is provided with a wedge-shaped groove structure; the non-metallic elastic sealing ring is disposed on the
plunger of the soft-seal
oil pump. During the upstroke, the pressure of the liquid on the upper part of the non-metallic elastic sealing ring acts on the wedge-shaped groove, decomposes into a circumferential force, causing the sealing ring to expand and deform, completely fitting with the pump
barrel, strengthening the seal between the
plunger and the pump
barrel, maintaining pump efficiency, and simultaneously playing a role in scraping sand and scale, preventing pump jamming; during the downstroke, after the pressure on the upper and lower surfaces of the
plunger is balanced, the sealing ring contracts back to its initial state, the gap between the plunger and the pump
barrel increases, reducing the downward resistance caused by the high
viscosity of the liquid during the downstroke, slowing down the bending of the
sucker rod, extending the service life of the rod tube, extending the pump inspection cycle, and reducing production costs.
