DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1~Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present specification provides a pump barrel assembly, including an injection pipe joint 1 and a pump barrel 4; the injection pipe joint 1 includes an injection pipe body and a first connection end and a second connection end connected to both ends of the injection pipe body, and a medium injection hole 3 is opened on the wall of the injection pipe body for injecting hot water or CO 2 Gas and high-temperature steam, etc.; the second connection end is connected to the pump barrel 4, and the first connection end is provided with a first sealing component 2, which is used to seal and contact with the plunger body 12 to achieve elastic sealing between the plunger body 12 and the gas injection pipe joint 1. When the plunger assembly is in upward stroke, it is mainly the upper part of the steam injection hole and the plunger body 12 that cooperate to withstand the pressure of the upper liquid column to prevent the oil from leaking from the gap between the first sealing component 2 and the plunger body 12. Compared with the prior art, when the plunger body 12 is transferred to the oil pumping state, it is necessary to manually lift the plunger body 12 by a distance of 1 meter to 1.4 meters, so that the plunger body 12 and the pump barrel 4 maintain a rigid fitting length of about 1 meter to achieve a sealing structure, the first sealing component 2 of the present invention can shorten the fitting length between the pump barrel 4 and the plunger body 12 during the lifting process of the plunger body 12. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention shortens the lifting distance of the plunger body 12, which is beneficial to reduce the work intensity of the operator.

[0021] The pump barrel assembly also includes a metal ring retaining joint 5, an extension pipe joint 7 and an extension pipe 8. One end of the pump barrel 4 away from the medium injection hole 3 is connected to one end of the metal ring retaining joint 5, and the other end of the metal ring retaining joint 5 is connected to the extension pipe 8 through the extension pipe joint 7; a second sealing assembly 6 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the metal ring retaining joint 5 close to the extension pipe 8. When the plunger assembly is in the downward stroke, the plunger assembly moves downward, and the oil in the pump barrel 4 is squeezed at the lower part of the plunger body 12, pushing open the floating valve ball 13 at the lower part of the plunger assembly and entering the upper part of the plunger body 12. At this time, the second sealing assembly 6 bears the pressure generated by the downward compression of the liquid by the plunger assembly to prevent the oil in the pump barrel 4 from leaking out from the gap between the second sealing assembly 6 and the plunger body 12, thereby ensuring the pump efficiency. Compared with the prior art, when the pump barrel 4 and the plunger body 12 are switched to the gas injection state, a rigid fitting length of about 1 meter is maintained between the pump barrel 4 and the plunger body 12 to achieve sealing. The second sealing assembly 6 forms an elastic seal, which is conducive to shortening the sealing length. Therefore, the distance for manually lowering the plunger body 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing labor intensity.

[0022] The first sealing component 2 and the second sealing component 6 adopt the same sealing structure, and the sealing structure includes a supporting member and a sealing member; the supporting member is sleeved on the outside of the sealing member to support the sealing member so that the sealing member is tightly attached to the plunger body 12, and the sealing member is used to contact the plunger body 12 to achieve sealing between the plunger body 12 and the pump barrel assembly.

[0023] In addition, the support member may also include at least one support ring, the sealing member may include at least one sealing ring, and the lengths of the sealing member and the support member are set according to actual needs. Figure 3 As shown, the supporting member includes a long supporting ring 21 and a short supporting ring 22, and the sealing member includes a long sealing ring 23 and a short sealing ring 24; the long supporting ring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the short sealing ring 24 and a part of the long sealing ring 23, and the short supporting ring 22 is sleeved on the outside of another part of the long sealing ring 23. The long supporting ring 21 and the short sealing ring 24 are arranged correspondingly, and the short supporting ring 22 and the long sealing ring 23 are arranged correspondingly, so that the gap between the long supporting ring 21 and the short supporting ring 22 can be staggered with the gap between the short sealing ring 24 and the long sealing ring 23, which is beneficial to improve the sealing effect of the entire sealing assembly. The long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24 can be obtained by simply processing the existing standard sealing ring parts to reduce costs; or sealing rings of appropriate lengths can be customized.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the long support ring 21, the short support ring 22, the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24 are all C-shaped rings 14; when the pump barrel assembly is matched with the plunger assembly, since the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24 themselves are elastic, the short support ring 22 and the long support ring 21 are arranged outside the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24, and the short support ring 22 and the long support ring 21 themselves are rigid. When the plunger assembly passes through the sealing assembly, the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24 are radially stretched apart, and the rigid short support ring 22 and the long support ring 21 limit the radial outward expansion of the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24, squeeze the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24, so that the long sealing ring 23 and the short sealing ring 24 keep in contact with the plunger assembly, thereby improving the sealing effect and ensuring the pump efficiency. The C-ring 14 can be obtained by processing an O-ring / circular ring. The processing method includes: processing a groove or cutout parallel to the axis, or an oblique cutout or groove on the O-ring / circular ring.

[0025] The support member is preferably made of corrosion-resistant alloy steel or high-temperature-resistant spring steel. The support member can also be made of other materials according to the actual well conditions.

[0026] The inner wall of the sealing component is processed by boronizing or chrome plating and then finely ground. This arrangement is beneficial to improving the wear resistance, hardness and corrosion resistance of the sealing component, thereby helping to extend the service life of the sealing component.

[0027] A first groove is provided inside the gas injection pipe joint 1, and the first groove is a first annular groove, which is coaxially arranged with the gas injection pipe joint 1, and the length of the first annular groove is greater than the length of the first sealing component 2; the first sealing component 2 and the first groove are clearance-matched in both the axial and radial directions; a second groove is provided inside the metal ring retaining joint 5, and the second groove is a second annular groove, and the second sealing component 6 is clearance-matched in both the axial and radial directions. The first sealing component 2 and the second sealing component 6 are set in a clearance-matching manner, which is conducive to reducing the friction between the first sealing component 2 and the second sealing component 6 and the plunger body 12, and is conducive to extending the service life of the first sealing component 2 and the second sealing component 6.

[0028] The present invention also provides an oil well pump, comprising the above-mentioned pump barrel assembly and a plunger assembly, the pump barrel assembly and the plunger assembly cooperate with each other, and the method of use is the same as the method of use of the oil well pump widely used in the prior art; Figure 2 As shown, the plunger assembly includes: a first traveling valve assembly, a plunger body 12 and a second traveling valve assembly connected in sequence; one end of the first traveling valve assembly is connected to the plunger body 12 through a plunger joint 11, and the other end is connected to the plunger oil outlet joint 10; the surface of the plunger body 12 is sprayed with tungsten carbide hard alloy spraying technology, and the inner wall of the pump barrel 4 is chrome-plated. This arrangement is conducive to improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the plunger body 12 and the adaptability to the matching pump barrel 4, which is conducive to extending the service life.

[0029] The oil pump further comprises a fixed valve assembly 9, which is connected to an end of the extension pipe 8 away from the metal ring holding joint 5. The fixed valve assembly 9, the first traveling valve assembly and the second traveling valve assembly all comprise a valve ball 13. Figure 5 As shown, the base 131 of the valve ball 13 is made of carbon steel or alloy steel; the surface 132 of the valve ball is made of tungsten carbide sprayed hard alloy and finely ground. On the basis of reducing material costs, the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of the valve ball 13 are improved, the replacement cycle of the valve ball 13 is extended, and thus it is beneficial to extend the normal oil production cycle.
