[0024] For the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or one or more intervening elements can be present therebetween. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or one or more intervening elements can be present therebetween. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", and similar expressions used in the present specification are for the purpose of illustration only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present specification are intended to have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the present specification are merely used to describe specific embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used in the present specification includes any and all combinations of one or more related items.

[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the submersible motor protector 100 comprises a housing 1, a piston 2 and a capsule 3, the piston 2 is slidingly arranged in the housing 1, and the capsule 3 is arranged in the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12 on both sides of the piston 2, the first cavity 11 is used to communicate with the motor cavity of the motor, and the second cavity 12 communicates with the inside of the capsule 3. The inside of the capsule 3 is used to store fluid medium.

[0027] When the lubricating oil in the motor cavity expands in volume due to temperature rise caused by work or environment, since the first cavity 11 communicates with the motor cavity, the pressure in the first cavity 11 increases, which pushes the piston 2 to slide towards the second cavity 12. With the movement of the piston 2, the volume of the second cavity 12 gradually decreases, and since the second cavity 12 communicates with the inside of the capsule 3 used to store fluid medium, the fluid medium in the inside of the capsule 3 will be squeezed to make the capsule 3 elastically expand, thereby buffering the pressure change in the motor cavity caused by the temperature rise and the expansion of the lubricating oil, reducing the risk of damage to the motor caused by the over-high pressure in the motor cavity. Similarly, when the lubricating oil in the motor cavity shrinks in volume due to temperature drop, the pressure in the first cavity 11 decreases, and under the action of the pressure difference, the piston 2 slides towards the first cavity 11, the volume of the second cavity 12 increases, and the fluid medium in the inside of the capsule 3 flows to the second cavity 12 to make the capsule 3 compress, thereby maintaining the relative stability of the pressure in the motor cavity and reducing the risk of lubrication failure or loosening of motor parts caused by negative pressure due to the cavity in the motor cavity.

[0028] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 andFigure 3 The submersible motor protector further comprises a one-way valve 4, one end of which is in communication with the second cavity 12, and the one-way valve 4 is used for venting the second cavity 12. During the assembly of the submersible motor protector 100, when the interior of the capsule 3 and the second cavity 12 are filled with the fluid medium, the one-way valve 4 is used to discharge the excess gas so as to fill the interior of the capsule 3 and the second cavity 12 with the fluid medium.

[0029] In some embodiments, the one-way valve 4 is arranged on the piston 2, and the two ends of the one-way valve 4 are respectively directed towards the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12. The one-way valve 4 is used for discharging the gas in the second cavity 12 into the first cavity 11 and then discharging the gas to the outside environment through the motor cavity, and preventing the lubricating oil in the first cavity 11 from flowing into the second cavity 12, so as to isolate the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12.

[0030] The fluid medium is a liquid medium or a gas medium. In some embodiments, the fluid medium is a liquid medium which is the same as the composition of the lubricating oil in the motor cavity. In other embodiments, the fluid medium is an inert gas.

[0031] In some embodiments, the outside of the capsule 3 is in communication with the outside of the shell 1. On the one hand, due to the communication between the outside of the capsule 3 and the outside of the shell 1, the pressure of the outside environment acts on the capsule 3, which helps to limit the overexpansion of the capsule 3 and assist the compression of the capsule 3, thereby improving the reliability of the pressure adjustment of the capsule 3. On the other hand, when the pressure of the outside environment changes, the submersible motor protector 100 can quickly adjust the pressure in the motor cavity through the elastic deformation of the capsule 3 and the flow of the fluid medium in the interior, balance the pressure inside and outside the motor, and improve the reliability and service life of the motor under complex and variable oil well working conditions.

[0032] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The shell 1 is further provided with a third cavity 13 which is arranged on the side of the second cavity 12 away from the first cavity 11, and the third cavity 13 is in communication with the outside of the shell 1. The shell 1 provides physical protection for the capsule 3, and reduces the risk of damage to the capsule 3 due to collision and friction.

[0033] In some embodiments, the shell 1 is provided with a through hole 14 which is in communication with the third cavity 13 and the outside of the shell 1, respectively. In some examples, the submersible motor protector 100 is arranged at the lower end of the motor. Compared with the protector arranged at the upper end of the motor, the through hole 14 for communicating the inside and outside of the submersible motor protector 100 is located at a lower position in the oil well, and the well fluid environment is more stable, thereby reducing the risk of well fluid impacting the through hole 14 and impurities entering the third cavity 13 to block the through hole 14, and further causing the imbalance of the pressure of the motor. Moreover, the through hole 14 can also be arranged to have a larger aperture, further reducing the risk of blocking the through hole 14.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The submersible motor protector 100 further comprises an elastic member 5 located in the second cavity 12. One end of the elastic member 5 is connected to the piston 2, and the other end of the elastic member 5 is connected to the shell 1, so as to disperse the pressure of the first cavity 11 on the piston 2 through the elastic member 5, facilitate the smooth movement of the piston 2, and enhance the stability.

[0035] In some embodiments, the submersible motor protector 100 further comprises a connecting member 6 fixed in the shell 1 and arranged at the end of the second cavity 12 away from the first cavity 11. The other end of the elastic member 5 is connected to one end of the connecting member 6, and one end of the capsule 3 is sleeved on the other end of the connecting member 6 away from the elastic member 5. The connecting member 6 respectively communicates the inside of the second cavity 12 and the inside of the capsule 3. The connecting member 6 is located between the elastic member 5 and the capsule 3 to axially limit the elastic member 5 and provide structural support for the capsule 3.

[0036] In some embodiments, the connecting member 6 is provided with a first channel 61, and the two ends of the first channel 61 respectively communicate the inside of the second cavity 12 and the inside of the capsule 3. The connecting member 6 is located between the elastic member 5 and the capsule 3 to axially limit the elastic member 5 and provide structural support for the capsule 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, one end of the capsule 3 is sleeved with a first fixing member 31 for fixing the one end of the capsule 3 to the connecting member 6. In some examples, the first fixing member 31 is a single-ear endless clamp.

[0038] In some embodiments, the elastic member 5 is a spring or a spring piece. In some examples, referring to Figure 2 , the elastic member 5 is a cylindrical spring, one end of the elastic member 5 is sleeved on the end of the piston 2 away from the first cavity 11, and the other end of the elastic member 5 is sleeved on one end of the connecting member 6.

[0040] In some embodiments, the axial distance between the first limiting ring 21 and the connecting member 6 is less than or equal to the natural length of the elastic member 5, so as to reduce the risk of the elastic member 5 being separated from the piston 2 and enable the elastic member 5 to exert a stable force on the piston 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, the shell 1 is provided with a first annular groove 15 on the inner surface of the first cavity 11, and the first limiting ring 21 is partially arranged in the first annular groove 15 to fix the first limiting ring 21 in the first annular groove 15.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the submersible motor protector 100 further comprises a connecting pipe 7 arranged inside the capsule 3. One end of the connecting pipe 7 is connected to the connecting member 6, and the other end of the connecting pipe 7 away from the connecting member 6 is connected to the shell 1. In some examples, the connecting pipe 7 is fixed to the end of the shell 1 away from the first cavity 11. The connecting pipe 7 is provided with a second channel 71, one end of the second channel 71 is communicated with one end of the first channel 61 away from the second cavity 12, and the second channel 71 is communicated with the inside of the capsule 3. The connecting pipe 7 provides certain structural support for the capsule 3, and axially limits one end of the connecting member 6, thereby axially limiting one end of the elastic member 5 away from the piston 2.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 7 is provided with a connecting hole 72, which is respectively communicated with the second channel 71 and the inside of the capsule 3.

[0044] In some embodiments, the submersible motor protector 100 further comprises a second limiting ring 62 fixed in the shell 1, and one end of the connecting member 6 away from the capsule 3 abuts against the second limiting ring 62, so that the second limiting ring 62 axially limits one end of the connecting member 6 away from the capsule 3. The second limiting ring 62 and the connecting pipe 7 respectively axially constrain the connecting member 6 from both ends, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the connecting member 6 in the shell 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, the shell 1 is provided with a second annular groove 16 on the inner surface of the second cavity 12, and the second limiting ring 62 is partially arranged in the second annular groove 16 to fix the second limiting ring 62 in the second annular groove 16.

[0046] In some embodiments, the submersible motor protector 100 further comprises a fluid valve 8 communicated with the second channel 71 or the inside of the capsule 3, and the fluid valve 8 is used for flowing fluid medium into the second channel 71 or the inside of the capsule 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, one end of the fluid valve 8 away from the outside of the shell 1 is provided with a first sealing plug 81, and the first sealing plug 81 is detachably arranged.

[0048] In some embodiments, the submersible motor protector 100 further comprises a bottom joint 9 at least partially arranged in the shell 1, and the bottom joint 9 is arranged at one end of the third cavity 13 away from the second cavity 12. One end of the capsule 3 away from the connecting member 6 is sleeved on the bottom joint 9, and both ends of the capsule 3 are respectively sleeved on the connecting member 6 and the bottom joint 9 to form a relatively closed internal space of the capsule 3, axially limit the capsule 3, and improve the maintainability of the capsule 3. One end of the connecting pipe 7 away from the connecting member 6 is connected to the bottom joint 9, so that the bottom joint 9 supports the connecting pipe 7.

[0049] In some embodiments, the bottom joint 9 is detachably connected with the shell 1, so as to facilitate installation of components inside the shell 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bottom joint 9 is provided with a third channel 91, and the fluid valve 8 is arranged in the bottom joint 9, and the third channel 91 respectively communicates with the second channel 71 and the fluid valve 8.

[0058] In some embodiments, the submersible motor protector 100 further comprises a second sealing ring 63. The connecting member 6 is provided with a second sealing groove 64 along the circumference of the connecting member 6. The second sealing ring 63 is arranged in the second sealing groove 64, and the second sealing ring 63 is used to seal the gap between the connecting member 6 and the inner surface of the shell 1.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, the submersible motor protector 100 cooperates with the capsule 3 and the slidingly arranged piston 2 to effectively balance the pressure change of the motor cavity, and the piston 2 separates the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12, thereby reducing the risk of impurities entering the motor cavity through the protector 100 and improving the reliability and stability of the operation of the submersible motor.

[0060] The present application also provides an embodiment of a submersible motor assembly 200, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the submersible motor assembly 200 comprises a motor 300 and the above-mentioned submersible motor protector 100, the motor 300 is provided with a motor cavity 301, and the motor cavity 301 is communicated with the first cavity 11 of the submersible motor protector 100. For the structure and function of the submersible motor protector 100, please refer to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] In some embodiments, one end of the motor 300 is provided with an output shaft, and the submersible motor protector 100 is arranged at the other end of the motor 300 away from the output shaft.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second cavity 12 in the shell 1 and the inside of the capsule 3 are used to store liquid medium, and the one-way valve 4 is arranged in the piston 2. In the assembly process of the submersible motor assembly 200, first, the end of the shell 1 provided with the first cavity 11 is connected with the motor 300, the first cavity 11 is communicated with the motor cavity 301, then the first limiting ring 21, the piston 2, the elastic member 5, the second limiting ring 62, the connecting member 6, the connecting pipe 7, the capsule 3 and the bottom joint 9 are sequentially installed in the shell 1, and then the lubricating oil is injected into the motor cavity 301, the lubricating oil flows downward into the first cavity 11, the piston 2 moves downward under the gravity of the lubricating oil, the elastic member 5 is compressed to provide upward pre-tightening force, and when the first cavity 11 and the motor cavity 301 are filled with lubricating oil, the oil injection of the motor 300 is stopped.

[0063] Then, the through hole 14 of the shell 1 is blocked by a blocking tool, the pressurized gas is injected into the gas inlet channel 92 of the bottom joint 9 by an external gas source, the pressurized gas flows into the third cavity 13, at the same time, the liquid medium is injected into the inside of the capsule 3 by the fluid valve 8, and the air pressure of the third cavity 13 is adjusted in real time, so that the inside and outside of the capsule 3 are balanced, and the risk of excessive deformation of the capsule 3 is reduced. The fluid medium gradually fills the inside of the capsule 3 from bottom to top and the second cavity 12, and then the gas in the second cavity 12 is discharged outward through the one-way valve 4. When the second cavity 12 is filled with the fluid medium, the injection of the liquid medium is stopped, the blocking tool is removed, the fluid valve 8 is closed by the first sealing plug 81, and the gas inlet channel 92 is closed by the second sealing plug 93.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the one-way valve 4 overflows the liquid medium into the first cavity 11, it is judged that the second cavity 12 is filled with the liquid medium, the overflowed liquid medium enhances the pressure at the upper end of the piston 2, and then the pressure is rebalanced through the elastic member 5 and the deformation of the capsule 3. The preset opening pressure value of the one-way valve 4 is greater than the maximum pressure of the liquid medium in the second cavity 12 on the piston 2 in the oil well, so that the one-way valve 4 is not opened in the oil well, and the piston 2 separates the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12.

[0065] In other embodiments, the second cavity 12 and the inside of the capsule 3 are used to store gas medium, and the piston 2 bidirectionally separates the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12. In the assembly process of the submersible motor assembly 200, the gas medium is injected into the inside of the capsule 3 through the fluid valve 8 at the same time, the through hole 14 of the shell 1 is blocked by the blocking tool, and the pressurized gas of the external gas source flows into the third cavity 13 through the gas inlet channel 92, so as to reduce the risk of excessive deformation of the capsule 3.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the motor cavity 301 of the submersible motor assembly 200 is separated from the inside of the capsule 3 of the submersible motor protector 100 by the piston 2, which reduces the risk of impurities entering the motor cavity 301 through the protector 100 and improves the reliability of the submersible motor 300.
