DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 11 The present invention provides a technical solution: an oilfield gas flow measuring device, comprising a first connecting head 1 and a second connecting head 2, wherein a first connecting pipe 5, a second connecting pipe 6 and a third connecting pipe 7 are installed between the first connecting head 1 and the second connecting head 2, a first valve core 101 is installed in the first connecting head 1, a second valve core 201 is installed in the second connecting head 2, the first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7 correspond to the first valve core 101 and the second valve core 201, a pressure detection structure is installed on the second valve core 201, a sampling structure is installed on the first connecting pipe 5, a thermal flow measurement structure is installed on the second connecting pipe 6, a turbine flow measurement structure is installed in the third connecting pipe 7, a cooling structure is installed on the third connecting pipe 7, the cooling structure corresponds to the turbine flow measurement structure and the second connecting pipe 6, and an orifice plate 27 is installed on one side of the turbine flow measurement structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first connecting head 1 is rotatably connected to the first valve core 101, an intake pipe 3 is fixed on the first connecting head 1, a first motor 102 is fixed on the first connecting head 1, an output end of the first motor 102 is fixedly connected to the first valve core 101, a connecting port 103 is opened in the first valve core 101, a plurality of first connecting ports 104 are opened on the peripheral side of the first valve core 101, the first connecting port 104 is connected to the connecting port 103, and the plurality of first connecting ports 104 are respectively connected to the intake pipe 3, the first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7.

[0036] Specifically, starting the first motor 102 can drive the first valve core 101 to rotate, thereby causing the first connecting port 104 to rotate. One of the first connecting ports 104 and the air intake pipe 3 is in a normally open state. Even if the first valve core 101 rotates, the first connecting port 104 always remains connected to the air intake pipe 3, thereby ensuring air intake. The other first connecting ports 104 are respectively connected to the first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7. When the first valve core 101 rotates, there is a first connecting port 104 that is not connected to the outside. For example, starting the first motor 102 drives the first valve core 101 to rotate. At this time, the first connecting port 104 is misaligned with the first connecting pipe 5, so that the gas in the air intake pipe 3 can pass through the first connecting port 104 into the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7, so that the first connecting pipe 5 no longer takes in air, so that the oil field gas in the first connecting pipe 5 can be discharged, which is convenient for sampling the oil field gas.

[0037] The second connecting head 2 is rotatably connected to the second valve core 201, an air outlet pipe 4 is fixed on the second connecting head 2, a second motor 202 is fixed on the second connecting head 2, the output end of the second motor 202 is fixedly connected to the second valve core 201, a second connecting port 203 is opened in the second valve core 201, the second connecting port 203 is an L-shaped structure, the second connecting port 203 is communicated with the air outlet pipe 4, the second connecting port 203 corresponds to the first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7.

[0038] Specifically, the second connecting port 203 is always in a connected state with the air outlet pipe 4. By starting the second motor 202, the second valve core 201 can be driven to rotate by the second motor 202, thereby driving the second connecting port 203 to be connected with the first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7. When the second connecting port 203 is connected with one of the connecting pipes, the air pressure in the other two connecting pipes is in a constant state and is the same as the air pressure in the air inlet pipe 3, so it is more convenient to test the air pressure. The amount of flow can be simply judged by the size of the air pressure, and the appropriate measurement method can be selected according to the amount of flow.

[0039] The pressure detection structure includes multiple first air pressure sensors 205, and multiple grooves 204 are opened on the circumferential side of the second valve core 201. The first air pressure sensor 205 is fixed in the groove 204. The first air pressure sensor 205 corresponds to the first connecting tube 5, the second connecting tube 6 and the third connecting tube 7. The first connecting tube 5, the second connecting tube 6 and the third connecting tube 7 are all fixedly connected to the first connecting head 1 and the second connecting head 2.

[0040] Specifically, the air pressure inside the non-ventilated first connecting pipe 5, the second connecting pipe 6 or the third connecting pipe 7 can be measured by the first air pressure sensor 205, so that the air pressure of the intake pipe 3 can be measured, and as the second valve core 201 rotates, the first air pressure sensor 205 will also rotate together, so that the measuring connecting pipe can be adjusted more flexibly to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0041] The sampling structure includes a sampling box 8 fixed on the first connecting tube 5. The sampling box 8 is located in the middle of the first connecting tube 5. A connecting tube 9 is provided in the sampling box 8, and the connecting tube 9 is connected to the first connecting tube 5. A sampling port 10 is provided at the bottom of the sampling box 8. A sampling tube 11 is slidably fitted in the sampling port 10. A blocking block 13 is elastically fitted in the sampling port 10. A sealing plate 12 and a fixed plate 14 are fixed in the sampling port 10. A spring 15 is fixed between the fixed plate 14 and the blocking block 13. A connecting rod 16 is fixed between the blocking block 13 and the sampling tube 11. The connecting rod 16 is a T-shaped structure.

[0042] Specifically, when measuring the flow of oilfield gas through the first connecting pipe 5, the gas is completely discharged through the sampling port 10 for sampling, so that workers can detect the composition and content of the oilfield gas, thereby detecting the density of the oilfield gas and ensuring the accuracy of the flow measurement. The first connecting pipe 5 is completely separated by the first valve core 101 and the second valve core 201, and then the gas in the first connecting pipe 5 is discharged. At this time, the air pressure in the first connecting pipe 5 is the same as the atmospheric pressure. Then, the first valve core 101 is rotated to allow the oilfield gas to enter the first connecting pipe 5. The first air pressure sensor 205 can be used to judge the air pressure change in the first connecting pipe 5 per unit time, and the flow rate of the oilfield gas can be calculated, thereby realizing the flow measurement of the oilfield gas. The staff can take samples to detect the composition content of the oilfield gas and ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0043] The thermal flow measurement structure includes an electric heating tube 17 fixed in the second connecting tube 6, and a first temperature sensor 18 and a second temperature sensor 19 are fixed on the second connecting tube 6. The first temperature sensor 18 is located on the side of the second connecting tube 6 close to the electric heating tube 17, and the second temperature sensor 19 is located on the side of the second connecting tube 6 away from the electric heating tube 17. A second air pressure sensor 20 is fixed at the end of the second connecting tube 6 away from the electric heating tube 17.

[0044] Specifically, at this time, the second connecting pipe 6 is connected to the air inlet pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 4, that is, the oilfield gas is transported through the second connecting pipe 6, and can be heated by the electric heating pipe 17. The temperature changes at two different positions are judged by the first temperature sensor 18 and the second temperature sensor 19, so that the flow rate of the oilfield gas is measured by temperature, and the air pressure in the second connecting pipe 6 can be detected by the second air pressure sensor 20 and compared with the air pressure detected by the first air pressure sensor 205, so as to determine whether the heating of the electric heating pipe 17 has a significant impact on the air pressure of the oilfield gas, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0045] The turbine flow measurement structure includes a fixed tube 28 installed in the third connecting tube 7, a rotating tube 29 is installed in the fixed tube 28, a plurality of turbine blades 30 are fixed in the rotating tube 29, the fixed tube 28 is fixedly connected to the third connecting tube 7, the rotating tube 29 is rotatably connected to the fixed tube 28, the orifice plate 27 is fixedly connected to the fixed tube 28, the orifice plate 27 is located at one end of the fixed tube 28 close to the first connector 1, an air hole is opened in the orifice plate 27, a third air pressure sensor 31 is fixed in the fixed tube 28, the third air pressure sensor 31 is located on one side of the orifice plate 27, and the third air pressure sensor 31 is in contact with the orifice plate 27, a speed sensor is installed in the fixed tube 28, and the speed sensor is used to monitor the speed of the rotating tube 29.

[0046] Specifically, the oilfield gas is transported through the third connecting pipe 7, that is, the third connecting pipe 7 is connected to the air inlet pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 4. At this time, the oilfield gas blows through the orifice plate 27, thereby generating a pressure difference on both sides of the orifice plate 27, so that the orifice plate 27 forms an orifice flowmeter. The pressure difference can be obtained by comparing the detection results of the third air pressure sensor 31 and the first air pressure sensor 205, so as to calculate the flow rate of the oilfield gas. When the oilfield gas blows through the turbine blades 30, the turbine blades 30 can be driven to rotate by the gas, thereby driving the rotating tube 29 to rotate. The rotation speed of the rotating tube 29 is detected by the speed sensor, and the flow rate is calculated according to the speed, which is compared with the flow rate obtained by the orifice flowmeter to prevent large errors.

[0047] The cooling structure includes a coolant tank 24 fixed on the third connecting pipe 7, a liquid pump 25 is fixed in the coolant tank 24, coolant is installed in the coolant tank 24, a refrigerator 26 is fixed in the coolant tank 24, a cooling structure is installed in the third connecting pipe 7, the cooling structure corresponds to the fixed pipe 28 and the liquid pump 25, a first cooling pipe 21 is fixed in the third connecting pipe 7, the first cooling pipe 21 is an S-shaped structure, the first cooling pipe 21 is located on the peripheral side of the fixed pipe 28, the first cooling pipe 21 is connected to the output end of the liquid pump 25, the second connecting pipe 6 is provided with a second cooling pipe 22 at one end close to the second connector 2, the second cooling pipe 22 is an S-shaped structure, a fourth connecting pipe 23 is fixed between the first cooling pipe 21 and the second cooling pipe 22, and a fifth connecting pipe 32 is installed between the second cooling pipe 22 and the coolant tank 24.

[0048] Specifically, by starting the liquid pump 25, the coolant in the coolant tank 24 can be sent into the first cooling pipe 21 and the second cooling pipe 22 through the liquid pump 25, thereby cooling the turbine blades 30, the rotating pipe 29 and the oilfield gas inside the third connecting pipe 7, thereby preventing the turbine blades 30 and the rotating pipe 29 from heating up due to friction with the gas, preventing the lubricating liquid on the side of the rotating pipe 29 from losing its lubrication effect due to heating, ensuring the rotation effect of the rotating pipe 29, reducing the friction generated by the rotation of the rotating pipe 29, and cooling the oilfield gas in the third connecting pipe 7 that has heated up due to heating, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the output oilfield gas is not too high, and preventing the excessively high temperature of the oilfield gas from affecting subsequent work.

[0049] Working process: When the sampling box 8 is used to sample and measure the flow rate of oilfield gas, the first motor 102 is started, and the first motor 102 drives the first valve core 101 to rotate. At this time, the first connecting port 104 is misaligned with the first connecting pipe 5, so that the gas in the intake pipe 3 can pass through the first connecting port 104 into the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7, so that no more air is taken into the first connecting pipe 5. Then the second motor 202 is started, and the second valve core 201 can be driven to rotate by the second motor 202, thereby driving the second connecting port 203 to be connected with the second connecting pipe 6 or the third connecting pipe 7. At this time, the first connecting pipe 5 is in a state of neither taking in nor out of air. The staff can manually push the sampling tube 11 upwards, so that the sampling tube 11 pushes the blocking block 13 upwards through the connecting rod 16, and the spring 15 When stretched, the blocking block 13 is not in contact with the sealing plate 12. At this time, the oilfield gas in the first connecting pipe 5 can be blown out through the sampling pipe 11, so that the oilfield gas can be collected and sampled. When the sampling is completed, the air pressure in the first connecting pipe 5 drops, and the air pressure is monitored by the first air pressure sensor 205. Then the sampling pipe 11 is released, and the spring 15 rebounds to drive the sampling pipe 11 to reset. The blocking block 13 is in contact with the sealing plate 12, thereby ensuring the seal. Then the first motor 102 is started, and the first motor 102 drives the first valve core 101 to rotate, so that the first connecting port 104 is connected to the first connecting pipe 5. At this time, the oilfield gas enters the first connecting pipe 5, and the pressure on the first air pressure sensor 205 changes, so that the flow rate of the oilfield gas can be obtained according to the pressure change per unit time.

[0050] When the flow of oilfield gas is transported through the second connecting pipe 6, the first motor 102 and the second motor 202 are started, so that the second connecting pipe 6 is connected to the air inlet pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 4, and then heated by the electric heating pipe 17. The temperature changes at two different positions are judged by the first temperature sensor 18 and the second temperature sensor 19, so that the flow of oilfield gas is measured by temperature, and the air pressure in the second connecting pipe 6 can be detected by the second air pressure sensor 20 and compared with the air pressure detected by the first air pressure sensor 205, so as to determine whether the heating of the electric heating pipe 17 has a greater impact on the air pressure of the oilfield gas. The liquid pump 25 is started, and the coolant in the coolant tank 24 can be sent into the first cooling pipe 21 and the second cooling pipe 22 through the liquid pump 25, so that the oilfield gas in the third connecting pipe 7 that has risen in temperature due to heating can be cooled, thereby ensuring that the output oilfield gas temperature is not too high, and preventing the impact of excessive oilfield gas temperature on subsequent work.

[0051] When oilfield gas is transported through the third connecting pipe 7, the first motor 102 and the second motor 202 are started, so that the third connecting pipe 7 is connected to the air inlet pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 4. The oilfield gas blows through the orifice plate 27, thereby generating a pressure difference on both sides of the orifice plate 27, so that the orifice plate 27 forms an orifice plate flowmeter. The pressure difference can be obtained by comparing the detection results of the third air pressure sensor 31 and the first air pressure sensor 205, thereby calculating the flow rate of the oilfield gas. When the oilfield gas blows through the turbine blades 30, the turbine blades 30 can be driven by the gas to rotate, thereby driving the rotating pipe 29 to rotate. The rotation speed of the rotating tube 29 is detected by a speed sensor, the flow rate is calculated according to the rotation speed, and the liquid pump 25 is started. The coolant in the coolant tank 24 can be sent to the first cooling tube 21 and the second cooling tube 22 through the liquid pump 25, thereby cooling the oil field gas inside the turbine blades 30, the rotating tube 29 and the third connecting tube 7, thereby preventing the turbine blades 30 and the rotating tube 29 from heating up due to friction with the gas, and preventing the lubricating liquid on the side of the rotating tube 29 from losing its lubrication effect due to heating, thereby ensuring the rotation effect of the rotating tube 29 and reducing the friction generated by the rotation of the rotating tube 29.

[0052] When the first connecting pipe 5 is transporting oilfield gas, the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7 are connected to the air inlet pipe 3 but not to the air outlet pipe 4. Therefore, the air pressure in the second connecting pipe 6 and the third connecting pipe 7 is the same as that in the air inlet pipe 3, which can be used as a reference standard for air pressure.

[0053] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
