Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil drilling, and in particular relates to a transmission connection structure of a permanent magnetic coupling directly driven mud pump. Background Art

[0002] Mud pumps are essential equipment in oilfield drilling, carrying the crucial task of transporting mud. Traditional mud pumps typically use a motor connected to the pump body via a coupling for power transmission. However, these couplings present numerous operational drawbacks. Firstly, traditional couplings utilize a contact transmission mechanism. Over long-term operation, contact friction can cause significant wear and tear. This not only requires frequent replacement of coupling components, increasing maintenance costs, but also creates debris that can enter the mud pump system, impacting normal operation. Secondly, heat accumulation from contact friction can easily lead to overheating of the equipment, impacting its performance and service life. Furthermore, load-generated vibrations are directly transmitted to the motor through traditional couplings, impacting its stability and reducing the reliability of the entire system. Existing permanent magnet couplings, which often utilize a double-layer magnet structure, offer insufficient torque density and are unable to meet the high power requirements of mud pumps.

[0003] Therefore, developing a new type of coupling to improve the transmission performance of the mud pump has important practical significance.

[0004] In view of this, this invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a permanent magnet coupling direct-drive mud pump transmission connection structure, which is mainly used to solve the problem that traditional couplings produce a lot of wear due to contact transmission during long-term operation, which not only requires frequent replacement of coupling components and increases maintenance costs, but also causes debris to enter the mud pump system due to wear, affecting the normal operation of the pump body.

[0006] The present invention provides a permanent magnet coupling direct-drive mud pump transmission connection structure, comprising a motor, wherein the output end of the motor is connected to the hollow rotating shaft of the motor, and a permanent magnet coupling is arranged inside the hollow rotating shaft; the two ends of the permanent magnet coupling are respectively fixedly connected to the hollow rotating shaft of the motor and the power rotating shaft of the mud pump.

[0007] Specifically, the permanent magnet coupling includes an outer rotor outer yoke and an inner rotor yoke. The outer rotor outer yoke is configured to be cylindrical and a first permanent magnet is provided on the inner wall. The inner rotor yoke of the permanent magnet coupling is configured to be cylindrical and nested inside the outer rotor yoke. A second permanent magnet corresponding to the first permanent magnet is provided on the inner rotor yoke. The outer rotor yoke is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft of the motor, and the inner rotor yoke is fixedly connected to the power shaft of the mud pump.

[0008] Specifically, an outer rotor inner yoke is arranged inside the outer rotor outer yoke, and the outer rotor inner yoke is coaxial with the outer rotor outer yoke and is cylindrical. The inner side wall of the outer rotor outer yoke and the outer wall of the inner rotor yoke are both provided with outer permanent magnets, and the side wall of the outer rotor inner yoke and the inner wall of the inner rotor yoke are both provided with inner permanent magnets, wherein the outer permanent magnets of the inner rotor correspond to the outer permanent magnets of the outer rotor, and the inner permanent magnets of the inner rotor are opposite to the inner permanent magnets of the outer rotor.

[0009] Specifically, different magnetic poles of the permanent magnets on the inner rotor and the outer rotor are arranged alternately, and the magnetization directions of the permanent magnets are all along the radial direction of the inner yoke of the outer rotor.

[0010] Specifically, the distance between the inner rotor permanent magnet and the outer rotor permanent magnet of the permanent magnet coupling is 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0011] Specifically, the outer rotor yoke is fixedly connected to the hollow rotating shaft of the motor through a connecting flange, and the inner rotor yoke is fixedly connected to the power rotating shaft of the mud pump through a shaft sleeve.

[0012] Specifically, the permanent magnet is made of high-performance rare earth permanent magnet material neodymium iron boron permanent magnet.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The present invention provides a permanent magnetic coupling direct-drive mud pump transmission connection structure, in which the output end of the motor is connected to the hollow shaft of the motor, and a permanent magnetic coupling is provided inside the hollow shaft; the outer rotor end face of the permanent magnetic coupling is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft of the motor, and the inner rotor end face is fixedly connected to the mud pump power shaft. When the hollow shaft of the motor drives the outer rotor of the permanent magnetic coupling to rotate, the synchronous rotation of the inner rotor of the permanent magnetic coupling is achieved based on the magnetic coupling effect. This process realizes non-contact power transmission between the hollow shaft of the motor and the power shaft of the mud pump. This non-contact transmission method effectively isolates the vibration generated by the load, ensures smoother operation of the motor, and significantly improves the stability of the entire system; it also reduces the heat accumulation and energy loss caused by friction and wear in traditional couplings.

[0015] (2) The permanent magnet coupling of the present invention adopts a four-layer surface-mounted permanent magnet design. Both the outer rotor and the inner rotor adopt a double-layer permanent magnet nested layout. At the same time, the inner rotor is reinforced with a carbon steel yoke iron interlayer to enhance the magnetic-mechanical coupling effect, improve the magnetic field stability and torque transmission capability. Compared with the traditional two-layer structure, the four-layer structure doubles the number of effective magnetic poles, significantly enhances the magnetic flux density, and improves the maximum torque output. This structural design optimization effectively meets the power transmission requirements of the mud pump under high-torque conditions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
