Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of descaling technology for oil production and gathering pipelines, and specifically relates to a descaling and unblocking device for oil production and gathering pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] In the extracted crude oil, scale-forming ions from different oil wells and metering stations combine to form salt molecules that are insoluble in water. Under crystallization, the salt molecules in the water rearrange and recombine to form microcrystals and start to appear as grains. A large number of grains accumulate over a long period of time and become scale, resulting in scale formation. The presence of this scale can reduce the inner diameter of the pipeline, thereby affecting the efficiency of crude oil transportation. In severe cases, it can even cause pipeline blockage. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly perform descaling and unblocking operations on the oil production and gathering pipelines.

[0003] When traditional descaling and unblocking devices for oil production and gathering pipelines are in use, the conventional method of applying continuous driving force is ineffective in solving the blockage problem when the unblocking head encounters dirt and cannot move inside the pipeline. This may also lead to device failure. Because the continuous driving force will cause the device to be stuck with the blockage, it cannot effectively perform the function of descaling and unblocking. Furthermore, the existing descaling and unblocking devices have poor adaptability when dealing with oil production and gathering pipelines of different diameters.

[0004] Therefore, a descaling and unblocking device for oil production and transportation pipelines is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention has a scientific and reasonable structure and is safe and convenient to use.

[0019] 1.

When the transmission roller is in contact with the inner wall of the pipe, the transmission roller and the inner wall of the pipe exert appropriate force to keep the main central axis in the center of the pipe. This makes the device suitable for oil gathering and transportation pipes of different diameters. Furthermore, when the first scraper encounters a hard object, the elastic potential energy of the third spring can cause the first scraper to move towards the unblocking head, avoiding the situation where the unblocking head cannot rotate due to obstruction.

[0021] 3. The device is equipped with a descaling and unblocking component, which facilitates the simultaneous movement of the first scraper and the U-shaped plate, and ensures a suitable force between the first scraper and the inner wall of the pipe. This makes the device suitable for oil production and gathering pipes of different diameters. The spiral scraper, the second scraper, the first scraper, and the brush plate rotate inside the oil production and gathering pipe to remove the dirt from the inner wall of the pipe.

The bushing 28 and the roller disk are connected. 25. Fixed connection. Two first bearings 27 are installed in the rotating groove opened inside the U-shaped clamp 23. The bushing 28 is inserted into the two first bearings 27. The bushing 28 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped clamp 23 through the first bearings 27. A first drive motor 26 is installed on one side of the U-shaped clamp 23. A rotating shaft 29 is installed at the end of the output shaft of the first drive motor 26. The rotating shaft 29 is inserted into the bushing 28. The bushing 28 and the rotating shaft 29 are rotatably connected.

[0050] The surface of the rotating shaft 29 has multiple symmetrically arranged first grooves 210, and each first groove 210 contains a rectangular slider 212 and a first spring 211. Both ends of each first spring 211 are fixedly connected to the rectangular slider 212 and the rotating shaft 29, respectively. A hemispherical ball 213 is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular slider 212 away from the first spring 211. The inside of the bushing 28 has an arc-shaped slot 214 arranged in a ring. The hemispherical balls 213 are inserted into the corresponding arc-shaped slots 214. The minimum number of arc-shaped slots 214 is four, and the number of arc-shaped slots 214 is [missing information]. Even numbers ensure a uniform driving force applied to the bushing 28. The hemispherical balls 213 and rectangular sliders 212 inside the rotating shaft 29 are symmetrically arranged. When the device is difficult to move continuously due to dirt blockage, the rotation of the rotating shaft 29 drives the hemispherical balls 213 to rotate. When the roller disk 25 is difficult to rotate, the hemispherical balls 213 slide out from the arc-shaped groove 214 and slide into the arc-shaped groove 214 at the adjacent position, so that the driving force is applied to the device intermittently, thereby improving the descaling and unblocking effect of the device and avoiding the problem of the roller disk 25 slipping inside the pipe, which would cause wear inside the pipe.

[0051] It should be noted that: under the action of the counterweight 22, there is a suitable force between the roller disc 25 and the inner wall of the pipeline, which can push the device to move inside the oil gathering and transportation pipe. Multiple hemispherical balls 213 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the rotating shaft 29, thereby ensuring that a uniform driving force is applied to the bushing 28.

[0052] Working principle: When in use, the device is placed inside the oil gathering and transportation pipe to be descaled and unblocked. The threaded rod 41 is rotated, and the rotation of the threaded rod 41 causes the internal threaded collar 43 to slide inside the main central shaft 45. During the movement of the internal threaded collar 43, the second spring 42 drives the first shaft cylinder 35 to move synchronously. The movement of the first shaft cylinder 35 drives the first support rod 33 to move, which in turn pushes the U-shaped plate 31 to move. During the movement of the U-shaped plate 31, the rectangular sliding rod 38 slides inside the rectangular sleeve 37, thereby causing the U-shaped plate 31 to... The device moves away from the main central axis 45 until the multiple transmission rollers 32 arranged in a ring abut against the pipe wall. During the continuous stretching of the second spring 42, the multiple transmission rollers 32 exert a suitable force on the inner wall of the pipe. This facilitates the movement of the three U-shaped plates 31 away from the main central axis 45 when the threaded rod 41 is rotated. When the transmission rollers 32 are in contact with the inner wall of the pipe, the transmission rollers 32 exert a suitable force on the inner wall of the pipe, so that the main central axis 45 is in the center of the pipe. This makes the device suitable for oil gathering and transportation pipes of different diameters.

[0053] During the rotation of the threaded rod 41, which drives the internal threaded collar 43 to move, the internal threaded collar 43 drives the first crossbar 47 to move synchronously. The movement of the first crossbar 47 drives the square block 412 and the third spring 413 to move synchronously, thereby causing the inner tube 410 to move. During the movement of the inner tube 410, the outer tube 48 and the unblocking head 1 move synchronously through the third bearing 49. During the movement of the unblocking head 1, the connecting shaft 414 slides on the surface of the hexagonal rod 416, and the unblocking head 1 also drives the U-shaped rod 425 to move synchronously. During the movement of the U-shaped rod 425, since the position of the circular block 421 remains unchanged, the U-shaped rod 425 moves through the second support rod 422. The movement of the U-shaped rod 425 drives the first scraper 423 to move synchronously. The second support rod 422 and the first support rod 33 have the same size, and in their initial positions, the second support rod 422 and the first support rod 33 are tilted in a symmetrical direction. The tilt directions of the second support rod 422 and the first support rod 33 are as follows: Figure 7 As shown;

[0054] When the internal threaded collar 43 moves toward the unblocking head 1, causing the U-shaped plate 31 to move away from the main central axis 45, the movement of the U-shaped plate 31 drives the inner tube 410 to move away from the main central axis 45 via the first crossbar 47. This, in turn, causes the first scraper 423 to move away from the unblocking head 1 via the second support rod 422. Since the second support rod 422 and the first support rod 33 are initially symmetrically positioned, the distance the U-shaped plate 31 moves is close to the distance the first scraper 423 moves. Consequently, when the transmission roller 32 moves to contact the inner wall of the pipe, the first scraper 423 is precisely in contact with the inner wall of the pipe. Similarly, in the reverse direction... When the threaded rod 41 is rotated, the U-shaped plate 31 drives the transmission roller 32 to move towards the main central shaft 45, and the first scraper 423 moves towards the unblocking head 1. Under the action of the second spring 42, there is a suitable force between the transmission roller 32 and the inner wall of the pipe. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the third spring 413, there is a suitable force between the first scraper 423 and the inner wall of the pipe, ensuring the descaling effect on the inner wall of the pipe. This is beneficial to make the first scraper 423 move synchronously while the U-shaped plate 31 moves, and to make the first scraper 423 and the inner wall of the pipe have a suitable force. This further makes the device applicable to oil gathering and transportation pipes of different diameters.

[0055] After the device is placed inside the pipeline and debugged, the controller starts the first drive motor 26 and the second drive motor 417. The operation of the second drive motor 417 drives the hexagonal rod 416 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 414 to rotate, thereby driving the unblocking head 1 to rotate. During the rotation of the unblocking head 1, the first scraper 423 and the spiral scraper 428 on the surface of the unblocking head 1 rotate synchronously. The spiral scraper 428 is spiral-shaped. During the rotation of the spiral scraper 428 driven by the unblocking head 1, the dirt blocking the inside of the pipeline can be spirally scraped away. During the rotation of the first scraper 423 against the inner wall of the pipeline, the dirt adhering to the inner wall of the pipeline is scraped away. The rotation of the first scraper 423 drives the second scraper 424 and the brush plate 426 to rotate synchronously. The blade 424 can scrape off the dirt inside the pipe, avoiding the gap between the first scraper 423 and the unblocking head 1, which would prevent some dirt from being scraped off. When the first scraper 423 drives the brush plate 426 to rotate synchronously, the brush plate 426 can clean the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe, thereby ensuring the effect of descaling and unblocking the inner wall of the pipe. It is beneficial to achieve the effect of scraping off the dirt on the inner wall of the oil gathering and transportation pipe by rotating the spiral scraper 428, the second scraper 424, the first scraper 423 and the brush plate 426 inside the oil gathering and transportation pipe. Furthermore, when the first scraper 423 encounters a hard object, under the action of the elastic potential energy of the third spring 413, the first scraper 423 can move towards the unblocking head 1, avoiding the situation where the rotation of the unblocking head 1 is blocked and cannot be rotated.

[0056] When the first drive motor 26 is started via the controller, its operation drives the rectangular slider 212 and the hemispherical ball 213 to rotate synchronously via the rotating shaft 29. Since the hemispherical ball 213 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 214 inside the bushing 28, when the unblocking head 1 cannot move due to dirt inside the pipe, and the first drive motor 26 drives the rotating shaft 29 to rotate continuously, when the device becomes difficult to move due to blockage by dirt, i.e., when the roller disc 25 cannot rotate due to the resistance of the device, the hemispherical ball 213 slides out from the arc-shaped groove 214, slides to the inner wall of the bushing 28, and slides into an adjacent position. Within the arc-shaped groove 214, after the scraping force of the device on the dirt inside the pipe reaches a suitable level, the force pushing the device to move is reduced, that is, the scraping force applied by the device to the dirt is reduced. When the hemispherical ball 213 slides into the arc-shaped groove 214 at the adjacent position, the force applied to the roller disc 25 is increased, that is, the driving force of the device inside the pipe is increased again. This is beneficial to make the driving force of the device more intermittent when the unblocking head 1 cannot move due to dirt inside the pipe, thereby improving the descaling and unblocking effect of the device and avoiding the problem of the roller disc 25 slipping inside the pipe, which would cause wear inside the pipe.
