Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum production equipment, and in particular relates to an energy-saving hydraulic oil pumping unit. Background Art

[0002] The existing walking beam pumping unit adopts a crank rocker structure, which causes excessive energy loss in the motor. At the same time, due to the structure, the counterweight potential energy cannot be fully recovered, so the efficiency is low. For hydraulic pumping units, the counterweight potential energy is in the form of pipelines, and the layout and use of valves and energy storage devices are unreasonable, and the counterweight potential energy cannot be effectively recovered, so the efficiency does not meet expectations.

[0003] Publication No. CN113982539B discloses a "downward pressure multifunctional hydraulic pumping unit and its application", which has a single closed-cycle hydraulic cylinder structure and the counterweight potential energy cannot be effectively recovered. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The bottom ends of the second thin section oil cylinder piston rod and the bottom ends of the first thin section oil cylinder piston rod are both connected to the well rod, and are used for pumping oil from two adjacent oil wells at the same time.

[0007] The first thin section oil cylinder is connected to the first thick section oil cylinder to form a first vertical oil cylinder. The inner diameter of the first thick section oil cylinder is larger than that of the first thin section oil cylinder. The bottom of the first thin section oil cylinder is closed.

[0008] The second thin section oil cylinder is connected to the second thick section oil cylinder to form a second vertical oil cylinder. The inner diameter of the second thick section oil cylinder is larger than the inner diameter of the second thin section oil cylinder. The bottom of the second thin section oil cylinder is closed.

[0009] The first thin section oil cylinder and the second thin section oil cylinder have the same length, the intermediate connecting pipe is connected between the first vertical oil cylinder and the second vertical oil cylinder, and the two ports of the intermediate connecting pipe are respectively located at the bottom ends of the first thick section oil cylinder and the second thick section oil cylinder, and are respectively connected to the first thick section oil cylinder and the second thick section oil cylinder.

[0010] One port of the oil pump is connected to the bottom end of the first thin section oil cylinder through the first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe; the other port of the oil pump is connected to the bottom end of the second thin section oil cylinder through the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe.

[0011] The first piston rod and the second piston rod have the same length.

[0012] The first piston rod is located in the first vertical oil cylinder. The bottom of the first thick section oil cylinder piston rod of the first piston rod has a first thin piston, the top of the first thick section oil cylinder piston rod has a first thick piston, the first thin piston is located in the first thin section oil cylinder; the first thick piston is located in the first thick section oil cylinder.

[0013] The second piston rod is located in the second vertical oil cylinder. The bottom of the second thick section oil cylinder piston rod of the second piston rod has a second thin piston, the top of the second thick section oil cylinder piston rod has a second thick piston, the second thin piston is located in the second thin section oil cylinder; the second thick piston is located in the second thick section oil cylinder.

[0014] The first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe and the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe are both installed with valves, and the valves are used to control the opening and closing of the first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe and the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe.

[0015] The first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe and the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe are both installed with energy storage tanks.

[0016] The oil pump is connected to a power source, and the power source drives the oil pump to work. In this embodiment, the power source is a motor.

[0017] The first vertical oil cylinder, the second vertical oil cylinder, the oil pump and the power source are installed on the derrick.

[0018] The two ports of the intermediate connecting pipe are trumpet-shaped ports, which enable the hydraulic oil in the first thick section oil cylinder and the second thick section oil cylinder to smoothly enter the intermediate connecting pipe.

[0019] The port where the first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe communicates with the first thin section oil cylinder is a trumpet-shaped port; the port where the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe communicates with the second thin section oil cylinder is a trumpet-shaped port, which can make the hydraulic oil flow smoothly.

At this time, the hydraulic oil in the first thin section oil cylinder and the first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe is pumped to the second thin section oil cylinder through the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe. The hydraulic oil in the second thin section oil cylinder pushes the second piston rod upward, thereby driving the well rod upward to pump oil. At the same time, the first piston rod moves downward, and the counterweight can also drive the first piston rod downward by its own weight, and the potential energy of the counterweight is fully utilized. At the same time, the hydraulic oil in the first thick section oil cylinder enters the second thick section oil cylinder through the middle connecting pipe under the downward pressure of the first thick piston, pushes the second thick piston and then pushes the second piston rod upward, forming a mechanism of dual cylinders pushing the second piston rod, which increases the thrust of pushing the second piston rod.

[0023] The oil pump works reciprocatingly, which in turn drives the well rod of the pumping unit to move up and down to pump oil.

[0024] When two oil wells are adjacent, the lower ends of the first piston rod and the second piston rod are connected to the well rod, and the two adjacent oil wells are pumped at the same time, realizing the pumping operation of two oil wells by one pumping unit, which greatly saves production costs.

The present invention can produce oil from two adjacent wells simultaneously, saving energy and greatly reducing production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The first piston rod 6 and the second piston rod 7 have the same length.

[0035] The first piston rod 6 is located in the first vertical cylinder A. The bottom of the first thick section cylinder piston rod 64 of the first piston rod 6 has a first thin piston 61, and the top of the first thick section cylinder piston rod 64 has a first coarse piston 62.

[0038] The first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe 9 and the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe 10 are both installed with energy storage tanks 14 .

[0039] The oil pump 8 is connected to a power source 15 , which drives the oil pump 8 to work. In this embodiment, the power source 15 is an electric motor.

[0040] The first vertical oil cylinder A, the second vertical oil cylinder B, the oil pump 8 and the power source 15 are installed on the derrick 16.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the two ports 51 of the intermediate connecting pipe 5 are trumpet-shaped ports, which enable the hydraulic oil in the first coarse section oil cylinder 3 and the second coarse section oil cylinder 4 to smoothly enter the intermediate connecting pipe 5 .

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the port 51 where the first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe 9 is connected to the first thin section oil cylinder 1 is a trumpet-shaped port; the port 51 where the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe 10 is connected to the second thin section oil cylinder 2 is a trumpet-shaped port, which can make the hydraulic oil flow smoothly.

[0043] The first thick section oil cylinder 3, the intermediate connecting pipe 5 and the second thick section oil cylinder 4, the first piston rod 6 and the second piston rod 7 constitute a first closed-circuit hydraulic cylinder structure; the first thin section oil cylinder 1, the first thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe 9, the oil pump 8, the second thin section oil cylinder connecting pipe 10, the second thin section oil cylinder 2, the first piston rod 6 and the second piston rod 7 constitute a second closed-circuit hydraulic cylinder structure.

[0044] The working process of this embodiment: Cooperate Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the second piston rod 7 is in the highest position, the oil pump 8 works to pump hydraulic oil to the first thin-section oil cylinder connecting pipe 9. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the second thin-section oil cylinder 2 and the second thin-section oil cylinder connecting pipe 10 is pumped to the first thin-section oil cylinder 1 through the first thin-section oil cylinder connecting pipe 9. The hydraulic oil in the first thin-section oil cylinder 1 pushes the first piston rod 6 upward, thereby driving the counterweight 11 upward.

The hydraulic oil in the second thin section oil cylinder 2 pushes the second piston rod 7 upward, thereby driving the well rod 12 upward to pump oil. At the same time, the first piston rod 6 moves downward, and the counterweight 11 can also drive the first piston rod 6 downward by its own weight. The potential energy of the counterweight 11 is fully utilized. At the same time, the hydraulic oil in the first thick section oil cylinder 3 enters the second thick section oil cylinder 4 through the intermediate connecting pipe 5 under the downward pressure of the first thick piston 62, pushing the second thick piston 72 and then pushing the second piston rod 7 upward, forming a dual-cylinder pushing the second piston rod 7 mechanism, which increases the thrust of pushing the second piston rod 7.
