Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically to a drilling fluid centrifuge for oil extraction. Background Technology
[0002] The system consists of a high-speed rotating drum, a screw conveyor with a hollow shaft rotating in the same direction but at a slightly lower speed, and a differential gear. When the suspension to be separated is fed into the drum through the hollow shaft, it is immediately thrown into the drum cavity by the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation. The high-speed rotation of the drum generates a strong centrifugal force that throws solid particles, which are denser than the liquid phase, onto the inner wall of the drum, forming a solid layer (called the solid ring layer because it is annular). Water, due to its lower density and weaker centrifugal force, forms a liquid layer inside the solid ring layer, called the liquid ring layer. Because of the different rotational speeds of the screw and the drum, there is relative motion between them (i.e., a speed difference). This relative motion slowly pushes the sludge in the solid ring layer to the conical end of the drum, and after passing through the drying zone, it is continuously discharged from the outlets distributed around the circumference of the drum. The liquid in the liquid ring layer is continuously "overflowed" from the weir to the outside of the drum by gravity, forming the separated liquid.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent with authorization number CN117414955B includes a rotating drum, a screw propeller located inside the rotating drum, and a cover covering the rotating drum. It also includes a slag discharge cylinder, which is detachably installed at the discharge end of the rotating drum. The slag discharge cylinder has several slag discharge holes circumferentially opened on its surface. The slag discharge cylinder is connected to the inside of the rotating drum. An adjustment component is detachably installed on the end of the slag discharge cylinder away from the rotating drum. The screw propeller extends into the slag discharge cylinder and the adjustment component in sequence. The cover is rotatably installed on the end of the slag discharge cylinder away from the rotating drum. An annular grinding disc is installed inside the slag discharge cylinder and sleeved on the screw propeller. The annular grinding disc is connected to the adjustment component.
[0004] The main drawbacks of existing horizontal decanter centrifuges are:
[0005] Due to the rotation, the propeller will have inertial force when it rotates, which will cause friction between the propeller and the inner wall of the drum. After long-term use, the propeller may be unable to remove the solid ring layer inside the drum. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drilling fluid centrifuge for oil extraction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A drilling fluid centrifuge for oil extraction includes a auger, a drum, a drive assembly, a first cleaning assembly, and a second cleaning assembly. The auger is rotatably mounted within the inner cavity of the drum, which is rotatably connected to the drive assembly. The right end of the first cleaning assembly is fixedly connected to the right end of the auger and is located on the outside of the auger. The right end of the second cleaning assembly is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first cleaning assembly near its right end and is located within the inner cavity of the auger.
[0009] The cleaning assembly includes: three roller brushes, which are rotatably connected to the outside of a auger; the right ends of the three roller brushes are rotatably connected to a tripod, which is fixedly connected to the right end of the auger; and gears are fixedly connected to the three roller brushes near their right ends; and
[0010] A gear ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the drum, and the gear ring meshes with a gear.
[0011] The second cleaning component includes:
[0012] A guide rod is provided, one end of which is fixedly connected to the right end of the screw propeller. A slider is slidably connected to the guide rod. Three rotating shafts are rotatably connected inside the screw propeller. Rotating propulsion blocks are fixedly connected to the rotating shafts. A sliding groove is provided along the outer curved surface of the rotating propulsion block. The sliding groove is symmetrically arranged about the plane containing the axis of the rotating propulsion block. Three sliding rods are fixedly connected to the outer side of the slider. The other end of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0013] Furthermore, a synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the right end of each of the three rotating shafts, and a synchronous pulley is also fixedly connected to the right end of each of the three roller brushes. The two synchronous pulleys are driven by a synchronous belt.
[0014] Furthermore, the driving component includes:
[0015] A bracket is provided, on which a motor is fixedly connected. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft, and the other end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to a differential. The differential is fixedly connected to a screw propeller and a rotating drum, respectively. A worktable is also fixedly connected to the bracket, and the rotating drum is rotatably connected to the worktable.
[0016] Furthermore, a second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and driven shafts are rotatably connected to both sides of the worktable. One end of the driven shaft is fixedly connected to the second synchronous pulley, which is driven by a second synchronous belt.
[0017] Furthermore, a cam is fixedly connected to the other end of the driven shaft, and a push rod is slidably connected to the worktable. A spring is sleeved on the push rod, and one end of the push rod abuts against the cam.
[0018] Furthermore, the lower part of the workbench is provided with a slag discharge port and a liquid discharge port, and a connecting platform is fixedly connected to the right end of the bracket.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. Based on the existing working principle of the horizontal screw centrifuge, the screw propeller rotates in the same direction as the drum, but at a lower speed. Three roller brushes are rotatably connected to the outside of the screw propeller, and the right ends of the three roller brushes are rotatably connected to a tripod. The tripod is fixedly connected to the right end of the screw propeller. Gears are fixedly connected to the three roller brushes near their right ends. The gear ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the drum. The gear ring meshes with the gear, so when the drum rotates, it drives the gear ring to rotate. In turn, through the meshing action of the gear ring and the gear, the gear drives the roller brush to rotate, so that the solid ring layer on the inner wall of the drum is further cleaned when the roller brush rotates.
[0021] 2. When the roller brush rotates, it drives the synchronous wheel that is fixedly connected to it to rotate. In turn, through the transmission action of the synchronous belt, it drives the rotating shaft that is fixedly connected to the synchronous wheel to rotate. The roller brush rotates at the same time, which drives the rotating propulsion block that is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft to rotate. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the sliding rod, the slider slides back and forth on the guide rod, thereby cleaning the inside of the screw propeller.
[0022] 3. When the motor rotates, it drives the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the synchronous pulley fixedly connected to the drive shaft to rotate. Through the transmission action of the synchronous belt, the driven shaft rotates, which in turn drives the push rod to slide on the worktable. When the push rod slides inward, the spring is compressed, and at the same time, the other end of the push rod strikes the outer surface of the drum. When the push rod slides outward, the spring returns to its original position. In this way, the solid ring layer remaining in the drum can be better cleaned. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown in Figure 8, a drilling fluid centrifuge for oil extraction includes a auger propeller 1, a drum 2, a drive assembly 3, a first cleaning assembly 4, and a second cleaning assembly 5. The auger propeller 1 is rotatably disposed within the inner cavity of the drum 2, and the drum 2 is rotatably connected to the drive assembly 3. The right end of the first cleaning assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the right end of the auger propeller 1, and the first cleaning assembly 4 is disposed on the outer side of the auger propeller 1.
[0041] The right end of the second cleaning component 5 is fixedly connected to the external part of the first cleaning component 4 near its right end, and the second cleaning component 5 is disposed in the inner cavity of the spiral propeller 1; wherein
[0042] The cleaning component 4 includes:
[0043] Three roller brushes 41 are rotatably connected to the outside of the screw propeller 1. The right ends of the three roller brushes 41 are rotatably connected to a tripod 42, which is fixedly connected to the right end of the screw propeller 1. Gears 43 are fixedly connected to the three roller brushes 41 near their right ends.
[0044] Gear ring 44, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the drum 2, and meshes with gear 43;
[0045] The cleaning component 25 includes:
[0046] A guide rod 51 is fixedly connected at one end to the right end of the screw propeller 1. A slider 52 is slidably connected to the guide rod 51. Three rotating shafts 53 are rotatably connected in the inner cavity of the screw propeller 1. A rotating propulsion block 54 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 53. A groove 541 is formed along the outer curved surface of the rotating propulsion block 54. The groove 541 is symmetrically arranged about the plane containing the axis of the rotating propulsion block 54. Three sliding rods 521 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the slider 52. The other end of the sliding rod 521 is slidably connected in the groove 541.
[0047] The left end of the screw propeller 1 and the right end of the drum are conical, and the right end is large. According to the working principle of the existing horizontal screw centrifuge, the screw propeller 1 rotates in the same direction as the drum 2, but the speed is lower than that of the drum 2. Three roller brushes 41 are rotatably connected to the outside of the screw propeller 1. The right ends of the three roller brushes 41 are rotatably connected to the tripod 42. The tripod 42 is fixedly connected to the right end of the screw propeller 1. Gears 43 are fixedly connected to the three roller brushes 41 near the right end. The toothed ring 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the drum 2. The toothed ring 44 meshes with the gear 43. Therefore, when the drum 2 rotates, it drives the toothed ring 44 to rotate. Then, through the meshing of the toothed ring 44 and the gear 43, the gear 43 drives the roller brushes 41 to rotate. When the roller brushes 41 rotate, they drive the rotating shaft 53 to rotate. Then, they drive the rotating propulsion block 54, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 53, to rotate. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 541 and the sliding rod 521, the slider 52 slides back and forth on the guide rod 51.
[0048] Each of the three rotating shafts 53 has a synchronous pulley 531 fixedly connected to its right end, and each of the three roller brushes 41 has a synchronous pulley 531 fixedly connected to its right end. The two synchronous pulleys 531 are driven by a synchronous belt 532.
[0049] When the roller brush 41 rotates, it drives the synchronous pulley 531, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. In turn, through the transmission action of the synchronous belt 532, it drives the rotating shaft 53, which is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 531, to rotate.
[0050] The driving component 3 includes:
[0051] A bracket 31 is provided, on which a motor 32 is fixedly connected. The output end of the motor 32 is fixedly connected to one end of a drive shaft 33, and the other end of the drive shaft 33 is fixedly connected to a differential 34. The differential 34 is fixedly connected to a screw propeller 1 and a drum 2 respectively. A worktable 35 is also fixedly connected to the bracket 31, and the drum 2 is rotatably connected to the worktable 35.
[0052] The output end of the motor 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 33, and the other end of the drive shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the differential 34. The differential 34 is fixedly connected to the screw propeller 1 and the drum 2 respectively. The motor 32 drives the differential 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the drum 2 and the screw propeller 1 to rotate. The differential 34 makes the speed of the screw propeller 1 lower than that of the drum 2. A worktable 35 is also fixedly connected to the bracket 31, and the drum 2 is rotatably connected to the worktable 35.
[0053] Reference Figure 5 and 7 As shown, a synchronous pulley 331 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 33, and driven shafts 332 are rotatably connected to both sides of the worktable 35. One end of the driven shaft 332 is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 331, and the synchronous pulley 331 is driven by the synchronous belt 333.
[0054] The other end of the driven shaft 332 is fixedly connected to a cam 334, and a push rod 335 is slidably connected to the worktable 35. A spring 336 is sleeved on the push rod 335, and one end of the push rod 335 abuts against the cam 334.
[0055] When the motor 32 rotates, it drives the drive shaft 33 to rotate, which in turn causes the synchronous pulley fixedly connected to the drive shaft 33 to rotate. Through the transmission action of the synchronous belt 333, the driven shaft 332 rotates, which in turn drives the push rod 335 to slide on the worktable 35. When the push rod 335 slides inward, the spring 336 is compressed. At the same time, the other end of the push rod 335 strikes the outer surface of the drum 2. When the push rod 335 slides outward, the spring 336 returns to its original position.
[0056] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the lower part of the workbench 35 is provided with a slag discharge port 351 and a liquid discharge port 352. The right end of the support 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting platform 311, and the motor 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting platform 311.
[0057] By utilizing the relative speed difference between the screw propeller 1 and the drum 2, solid impurities are separated from the liquid and discharged from the slag discharge port 351 and the liquid discharge port 352 respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of centrifugal slag removal. A flip-top device can be installed at the upper opening of the worktable 35. This design is existing technology to prevent the liquid from being thrown out by centrifugal force when the drum rotates.
