Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a multifunctional intelligent switch device for an oil and water well pipe column, belonging to the technical field of switch devices. Background Art

[0002] Pump inspection is an important process in oil production engineering. Its purpose is to lower the oil pump into the well to establish a well circulation to extract crude oil. From the perspective of oil production technology, the oil pump consists of four parts: a working cylinder, a piston, a floating valve, and a fixed valve. During the upstroke, the fixed valve opens and the floating valve closes, and the liquid enters the pump. During the downstroke, the piston moves downward, the floating valve opens, the fixed valve closes, and the liquid is discharged from the pump into the oil pipe. In order to ensure that the movement of the up and down strokes can achieve the extraction of crude oil, the fixed valve is designed as a one-way liquid inlet structure to ensure the sealing inside the pipe. This results in that when washing the well, the well can only be backwashed from the outside of the oil pipe, and it is impossible to wash the well forward. When wax is deposited or blocked in the working cylinder, it is necessary to lift the pipe to inspect the pump and re-establish the circulation.

[0003] From the perspective of well repair technology, the oil drainer will be installed above the pump in advance when the production tubing is lowered, so that the crude oil in the tubing can be leaked out during the pump inspection operation, preventing the crude oil and other liquids in the tubing from being brought to the ground and polluting the environment.

[0004] When the oil pump is seriously worn and the production capacity is reduced, it is necessary to replace the pump. Before the pump inspection, the oil needs to be drained. The following are the commonly used oil drainers, such as baffle oil drainers, sleeve oil drainers, lift-open oil drainers, impact oil drainers and rotary oil drainers. The frequent stops for pump replacement will result in large production losses.

[0005] When the working cylinder of the oil pump is clogged due to the accumulation of sand and gravel or wax, the crude oil cannot be pumped out. Usually, a small repair team needs to use backwashing to remove the blockage and flush the blockage out of the oil pump. However, the accumulation of blockage is often the strongest at the bottom, and due to the influence of the bottom fixed valve, the flushing fluid injected by reverse circulation is insufficient, resulting in failure of unblocking. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides another multifunctional intelligent switch device for an oil and water well pipe column which can improve the stable production cycle and the blocking removal efficiency.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is: a multifunctional intelligent switch device for an oil and water well pipe column, comprising a device shell, a control valve for opening and closing the through hole of the device shell is provided at the through hole of the device shell, an electric switch for controlling the control valve is sealed in the shell wall of the device shell, the electric switch is connected to a signal transmitter a, the signal transmitter a is connected to a signal receiver a, the signal receiver a is connected to a control system through a plurality of signal transmission devices, and a liquid level proximity sensor connected to the signal transmission device is also provided in the shell wall.

[0008] The top end of the device shell is connected to the oil pipe, and the bottom end of the device shell is connected to the oil pump.

[0009] A female buckle is provided at the top of the device housing, and the top of the device housing is threadedly connected with the oil pipe through the female buckle.

[0010] A male buckle is provided at the bottom end of the device housing, and the bottom end of the device housing is threadedly connected to the oil pump through the male buckle.

[0011] The signal transmission device comprises a signal receiver b and a signal transmitter a which are arranged in the wall of the oil pipe.

[0012] A battery pack b for supplying power to the signal receiver b and the signal transmitter b is also sealed in the wall of the oil pipe.

[0013] A battery pack a for supplying power to the signal transmitter a, the signal receiver a and the electric switch is also sealed in the shell wall.

[0014] The control valve is an electric valve.

[0015] The distance between adjacent signal transmission devices is 100 meters.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] (1) From the perspective of oil production, the stable production cycle of crude oil is improved.

[0018] (2) From an operational perspective, it improves operational efficiency.

[0019] (3) When the oil pump is blocked, open the valve of the electric switch device to form a positive circulation well washing, which can better wash out the blockage.

[0020] (4) The deblocking effect is good, which reduces the frequency of stopping for pump replacement and other reasons, reduces the production reduction caused by stopping for pump replacement and other reasons, and at the same time reduces the cost of pump replacement operations, thereby increasing production and efficiency.
