Generally, wax balls are thrown into the pipeline regularly at the front station and received at the terminal station.
[0003] Before 2008, pipeline wax cleaning mainly adopted the method of manual ball throwing at the well site and manual ball collection at the station, combined with chemical addition and regular hot washing. In winter, the temperature dropped and the wax cleaning cycle was shortened, which was labor-intensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Since 2008, China Petroleum's upstream sector has comprehensively promoted digital construction, and the research and development of the timing automatic ball throwing and collecting device has made a breakthrough. The test results are good and it is known as one of the three key technologies for the upstream sector's digital construction.

The position is shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, this can prevent the penultimate wax cleaning ball 401 from being on the surface of the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 when the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 falls into the bearing hole 501, affecting the subsequent rotation of the ball guide valve core 5, and the wax cleaning balls 401 can be thrown one by one; and the moving position of the ball blocking rack 7 is shown in the attached figure. Fig.12 As shown, at this time, the wax cleaning ball 401 can fall into the bearing hole 501 below through the gap between two adjacent support rods.
[0026] A columnar groove 9 is provided inside the ball guide valve core 5 and below the bearing hole 501, and an elastic telescopic rod 10 is slidably provided inside the columnar groove 9, and a contact 1 11 is installed on the side wall of the elastic telescopic rod 10, and a contact 2 901 is provided on the inner wall of the columnar groove 9. In the initial state, the contact 1 11 and the contact 2 901 are not in contact; when working, in the initial state, that is, when the bearing hole 501 has not yet received the wax cleaning ball 401, the contact 1 11 and the contact 2 901 are not in contact; when the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 falls into the bearing hole 501, the contact 1 11 and the contact 2 901 are not in contact. When inside the load hole 501, the elastic telescopic rod 10 located in the load hole 501 and the columnar groove 9 is pressed by the wax cleaning ball 401, and the elastic telescopic rod 10 will drive the contact 1 11 to move downward, and then the contact 1 11 will contact with the contact 2 901. At this time, the external circuit is connected, and the external controller first controls the ball guide valve core 5 to rotate 180 degrees to the side of the continuous oil pipe 3, and then the controller controls the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 8 to move, so that the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 8 drives the ball blocking frame 7 to return to the initial position, which is convenient for the subsequent wax cleaning ball 401 to continue to throw the ball;.
[0027] The shape of the columnar groove 9 is adapted to the shape of the elastic telescopic rod 10; the groove wall of the columnar groove 9 is provided with two limit grooves 12, and the groove walls of the two limit grooves 12 are both installed with telescopic springs 13, and the side wall of the elastic telescopic rod 10 is installed with two groups of L-shaped struts 14, and the two groups of L-shaped struts 14 are respectively connected to the upper ends of the two telescopic springs 13 on the side away from the elastic telescopic rod 10, and the outer side of the L-shaped struts 14 is provided with a force storage unit, and the force storage unit is used to quickly push the elastic telescopic rod 10 out of the columnar groove 9; During operation, when the wax cleaning ball 401 enters the bearing hole 501 and the elastic telescopic rod 10 moves downward under pressure, the elastic telescopic rod 10 will simultaneously drive the L-shaped support rods 14 on the two side walls to move, and the L-shaped support rods 14 squeeze the telescopic springs 13 in contact with them, and cause the force storage unit to start storing force. When the ball guide valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees to one side of the continuous oil pipe 3, under the action of the force storage unit, the wax cleaning ball 401 inside the bearing hole 501 can be quickly pushed into the continuous oil pipe 3, thereby avoiding the problem of slow transportation or even adhesion of the wax cleaning ball 401 due to the oil remaining on the inner wall of the continuous oil pipe 3.
[0028] The upper end surface of the elastic telescopic rod 10 is provided with two groups of wrapping sheets 15, and the material of the wrapping sheets 15 is elastic material, and the shape of the wrapping sheets 15 is adapted to the shape of the wax cleaning ball 401; during operation, when the elastic telescopic rod 10 is pressed and moves downward, the elastic telescopic rod 10 will drive the wrapping sheets 15 to move downward, and the wrapping sheets 15 will contact the top of the columnar groove 9 during the movement, so that the wrapping sheets 15 are attached to the surface of the wax cleaning ball 401, which can improve the stability of the wax cleaning ball 401 inside the bearing hole 501 during the rotation of the ball guide valve core 5.
[0029] The power storage unit includes a fixed round block 16 installed on the side wall of the L-shaped support rod 14, and a slot 17 is opened on the slot wall of the limiting slot 12, and the shape of the slot 17 is adapted to the shape of the fixed round block 16; the material of the fixed round block 16 is elastic rubber; during operation, when the wax cleaning ball 401 is completely placed in the bearing hole 501 and the elastic telescopic rod 10 moves to a certain position, the L-shaped support rod 14 will drive the fixed round block 16 to move into the slot 17, and under the mutual limitation of the slot 17 and the fixed round block 16, and under the cooperation of the wrapping sheet 15, the wax cleaning ball 401 can be stably located in the bearing hole 501, so that the wax cleaning ball 401 will fall when the subsequent guide ball valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees to the side of the continuous oil pipe 3.
[0030] The power storage unit also includes a cross column 18 fixedly installed inside the ball thrower 2, and a limit convex block 19 is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the cross column 18. A hole groove is opened at the center of the ball guide valve core 5, and the cross column 18 passes through the hole groove at the center of the ball guide valve core 5. The elastic telescopic rod 10 passes through the inside of the ball guide valve core 5 and contacts the limit convex block 19 on the outer circumference of the cross column 18. When working, refer to the attached Figure 8 As shown, before the ball guide valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees toward the coiled tubing 3, the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 10 does not contact the limiting protrusion 19. When the ball guide valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees toward the coiled tubing 3, the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 10 contacts the limiting protrusion 19, and the limiting protrusion 19 squeezes the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 10, so that the elastic telescopic rod 10 drives the L-shaped support rod 14 and the fixed round block 16 away from the slot 17. When the fixed round block 16 is separated from the inside of the slot 17, the elastic telescopic rod 10 can be quickly restored under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 13, and the wax cleaning ball 401 can be ejected at a higher speed, so as to avoid the wax cleaning ball 401 from being delayed in transportation or even sticking due to the oil remaining on the inner wall of the coiled tubing 3, thereby ensuring that there is no pressure buildup, no flow interruption, and no ball jam during the ball throwing process, and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of ball retrieval and throwing.
[0031] It should be noted that, during the rotation of the ball guide valve core 5 , the cross column 18 will not be driven to rotate.
[0032] An electric sealing disk 20 is provided at the contact position between the outer circumferential surface of the continuous oil pipe 3 and the guide ball valve core 5; during operation, when the wax cleaning ball 401 follows the guide ball valve core 5 to rotate to the side of the electric sealing disk 20, the external driver will control the electric sealing disk 20 to move, open the top of the continuous oil pipe 3, and then the wax cleaning ball 401 will fall into the continuous oil pipe 3. When the guide ball valve core 5 rotates away from the continuous oil pipe 3, the electric sealing disk 20 will seal the continuous oil pipe 3 again, thereby preventing outside air from entering the interior of the continuous oil pipe 3.
[0033] During operation, before using the device, several wax cleaning balls 401 are first put into the ball storage barrel 4. When the wax deposited on the inner wall of the oil pipe needs to be treated, the continuous oil pipe 3 arranged in the ball thrower 2 is first connected to the oil pipe drum that needs to be cleaned. Then, under the action of the ball guide valve core 5, the wax cleaning balls 401 in the ball storage barrel 4 can be put into the continuous oil pipe 3 one by one. The wax cleaning balls 401 will enter the continuous oil drum along the continuous oil pipe 3, and further push the wax cleaning balls 401 through the pipeline to the anti-corrosion inhibitor circulation pool. In the circulation pool, the wax cleaning balls 401 enter another pipeline and enter the anti-corrosion inhibitor through the pipeline. The corrosion inhibitor circulation pump enters the pipeline through the control panel control valve outside the ball thrower 2, and the wax cleaning ball 401 circulates to the ball thrower 2 to complete a cycle. The ball guide valve core 5 and the ball storage cylinder 4 are designed to isolate the wax cleaning balls 401 one by one, and there is no pressure buildup, flow interruption, or ball jam during the process of taking and throwing the balls, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of taking and throwing the balls, improving the reliability of the device operation, and preventing the wax cleaning balls 401 from being delayed in transportation or even sticking due to the oil remaining on the inner wall of the continuous oil pipe 3, resulting in the wax cleaning balls 401 being unable to accurately enter the predetermined position and being unable to continue throwing the balls; See attached Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this figure is the initial state, and the bearing hole 501 corresponds to the outlet end of the ball storage barrel 4; when it is necessary to put the wax cleaning ball 401 into the coiled tubing 3, the wax cleaning ball 401 at the bottom of the ball storage barrel 4 is controlled to fall into the bearing hole 501, and then the output end of the drive seat 6 is controlled to drive the ball guide valve core 5 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the ball guide valve core 5 rotates to the coiled tubing 3 and as shown in the figure Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the wax cleaning balls 401 will then fall into the coiled tubing 3, achieving the effect of throwing the wax cleaning balls 401 one by one; in the initial state, that is, when the bearing hole 501 and the outlet end of the ball storage cylinder 4 correspond to each other, one of the ball blocking rods 701 is located at the bottom of the bottom wax cleaning ball 401, and the other ball blocking rod 701 is located between the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 and the penultimate wax cleaning ball 401, and the position is shown in the figure. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, when the wax cleaning ball 401 needs to work, the telescopic end of the control cylinder 8 drives the ball blocking frame 7 to move, so that the ball blocking frame 7 drives the two sets of ball blocking rods 701 to move, and then one set of ball blocking rods 701 will move away from the bottom wax cleaning ball 401, and the other set of ball blocking rods 701 will be between the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 and the penultimate wax cleaning ball 401. The position is shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, this can prevent the penultimate wax cleaning ball 401 from being on the surface of the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 when the bottom wax cleaning ball 401 falls into the bearing hole 501, affecting the subsequent rotation of the ball guide valve core 5, and the wax cleaning balls 401 can be thrown one by one; and the moving position of the ball blocking rack 7 is shown in the attached figure. Fig.12As shown, at this time, the wax cleaning ball 401 can fall through the gap between two adjacent support rods to the inside of the bearing hole 501 below; When the wax cleaning ball 401 is completely placed in the bearing hole 501 and the elastic telescopic rod 10 moves to a certain position, the L-shaped support rod 14 will drive the fixed round block 16 to move into the slot 17. Under the mutual limitation of the slot 17 and the fixed round block 16, and under the cooperation of the wrapping sheet 15, the wax cleaning ball 401 can be stably placed in the bearing hole 501, so that the wax cleaning ball 401 will fall out when the subsequent ball guide valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees to the side of the coiled tubing 3; refer to the attached Figure 8 As shown, before the ball guide valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees toward the coiled tubing 3, the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 10 does not contact the limiting protrusion 19. When the ball guide valve core 5 rotates 180 degrees toward the coiled tubing 3, the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 10 contacts the limiting protrusion 19, and the limiting protrusion 19 squeezes the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 10, so that the elastic telescopic rod 10 drives the L-shaped support rod 14 and the fixed round block 16 away from the slot 17. When the fixed round block 16 is separated from the inside of the slot 17, the elastic telescopic rod 10 can be quickly restored under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 13, and the wax cleaning ball 401 can be ejected at a higher speed, so as to avoid the wax cleaning ball 401 from being delayed in transportation or even sticking due to the oil remaining on the inner wall of the coiled tubing 3, thereby ensuring that there is no pressure buildup, no flow interruption, and no ball jam during the ball throwing process, and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of ball retrieval and throwing.
