Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil extraction equipment, and in particular to a surface treatment optimization method and system for a screw pump rotor based on wear track quantification. Background Art
[0002] All-metal screw pumps are widely used in oil production, especially in deep-well operations. Their rotors connect to the sucker rods (configured according to the well depth). These rods, which can stretch for thousands or even tens of thousands of meters, are stretched tens of centimeters in length when placed vertically under their own gravity. Furthermore, changes in the physical state of the crude oil, particularly increases in viscosity or sand content, cause downward tension on the rods. If the rods stretch by just one thread per meter, a 2,000-3,000-meter rod will stretch by 2-3 cm. This creates significant resistance, and uneven wear caused by direct and indirect contact between the stator and rotor severely limits the pump's service life. Existing research has primarily focused on mitigating wear through material improvements, but with limited success. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Many specific details of the present application are described below, such as component structures, materials, dimensions, processing techniques, and technologies, to provide a clearer understanding of the present disclosure. However, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the present disclosure may be implemented without following these specific details.
[0033] An embodiment of the present invention provides a surface treatment optimization method for a screw pump rotor based on wear track quantification, comprising: S1, according to the motion trajectory of the rotor surface, obtain the contact situation between the motion trajectory of the characteristic point on the rotor surface and the inner wall of the stator in different angle intervals; S2, calculating the geometric wear intensity of each characteristic point according to the contact condition; S4, optimizing the rotor surface treatment according to the geometric wear intensity to make the wear uniform.
[0034] The following is a detailed description of the optimization process based on specific application scenarios: Step 1, such as Figures 1 to 2 , select rotor feature points on the all-metal screw pump rotor and establish the dynamic coordinate system X1O1Y1 and the fixed coordinate system XOY. Through coordinate transformation, the equation of the screw rotor surface is derived, and setting x = 0, the equation of the axial profile of the screw pump is obtained. The following relationship is obtained: ; in, θThe angle of rotation of the line connecting point M (i.e., the rotor characteristic point) and the moving coordinate system O1 to the O1Y1 axis of the moving coordinate system, in degrees; Φ The angle of rotation of the line connecting the origin O1 of the moving coordinate system and the origin O of the fixed coordinate system with respect to the Y axis of the fixed coordinate system, in degrees; t is the screw pitch of the screw pump, in mm; e is the eccentricity of the screw, in mm.
[0035] Step 2, according to Figure 3 The uneven wear phenomenon obtained by the test is Figure 4 The motion simulation method is used to simulate the motion of the four quadrants of the rotor, and it is found that the four quadrants show uneven wear. Figure 5 (a) The coordinate system shown in Figure 1, where point p on the rotor corresponds to the angular position of 0° and point p' corresponds to α Angular position. Take point p' as the rotor characteristic point to draw its motion trajectory, and its motion trajectory is as follows Figure 5 (b), where: (1) segments A'B' and C'D' are the range of wear between the rotor characteristic point p' and the stator inner wall, including direct contact wear and indirect contact wear; (2) within the wear range, the distance between the motion trajectory of the characteristic point p' and the stator inner wall is less than or equal to the maximum sand particle diameter.
[0036] Step 3: Based on the kinematic method, a feature point is selected every 10° along the 360-degree range of the rotor circumference (36 points in total), and its complete motion trajectory is drawn respectively. The positional relationship between the motion trajectory of the feature points at different positions of the rotor and the inner wall of the stator is analyzed, and the contact situation between the motion trajectory of the feature points on the rotor surface and the inner wall of the stator in different angle intervals is obtained to obtain the wear area situation.
[0037] Figure 6 The motion trajectories of three sets of symmetrically distributed feature points are selected, and their position angles α They are 30° and 330°, 70° and 290°, and 130° and 230°. The results show that the motion trajectories of feature points that are symmetrical along the Y axis are also symmetrical along the Y axis.
[0038] like Figure 7 (a), (b), and (c) show the distribution of the contact position between the feature point trajectory and the stator inner wall, as its position angle α The changes in show three significant intervals: (1) in the interval of 0°~80°, the motion trajectory of the feature point mainly contacts the arc segment of the stator inner wall; (2) in the interval of 80°~130°, the motion trajectory of the feature point contacts the stator inner wall in the transition area from the arc segment to the straight segment; (3) in the interval of 130°~180°, the motion trajectory of the feature point mainly contacts the straight segment of the stator inner wall.
[0039] In step 4, a wear simulation test was performed using sand particles with a diameter of 0.15 mm.
[0040] In this embodiment, either a constant diameter rotor or a conical rotor can be selected. The conical rotor and the conical stator are matched to form a conical screw pump. Considering the longitudinal change of the cross-sectional diameter of the all-metal conical screw pump, the three-end cross-section of the conical screw pump is selected for simulation test. Figure 8 (a), (b), and (c) are schematic cross-sectional views of the large end, middle end, and small end, respectively. The large end rotor diameter is larger than the middle end rotor diameter, which is larger than the smallest end rotor diameter.
[0041] Step 5: Define the wear stroke length l and geometric wear strength k The formula is as follows: ; ; in, l 定 is the circumference of the stator inner wall cross section, in mm; l 1. l 2 are the stator lengths of segments A'B' and C'D', in mm.
[0042] The wear stroke length and geometric wear intensity data of the wear characteristic points at different angles were obtained through experimental calculation. The geometric wear intensity scatter plot is shown as follows: Figure 9 The wear intensity curve shows three different levels: 0°~80° is the high-intensity wear zone; 80°~130° is the transition wear zone; 130°~180° is the gentle wear zone.
[0043] The geometric wear intensity is plotted on the rotor surface to form a geometric wear intensity radar map, such as Figure 10 As shown. On the radar chart, the rotor is divided into three areas, namely yellow, blue and green areas, where the red point is the peak point of wear intensity: k The yellow area with >17.00% is the high-intensity wear area; the yellow area with <4.00% is the high-intensity wear area. k The blue area <17.00% is the transition wear area; 0.00%< k The green area with a wear rate of <4.00% is the gentle wear area.
[0044] Optionally, according to the structural characteristics of the screw pump, the two-dimensional plane uneven wear line of the wear feature point is restored to the three-dimensional model to form an uneven wear belt, such as Figure 11 As shown. And the width formula of the wear zone in the three-dimensional model is obtained: ; in, θ 2 is the second angle value, in degrees;t 1 is the width of the wear zone, in mm; t is the rotor pitch in mm.
[0045] Figure 12 The horizontal and vertical perspectives of the screw pump rotor that broke after running for one year under actual working conditions are shown. The distribution characteristics and width of the longitudinal wear zone are similar to those of the Figure 11 The fracture position is consistent with the high-intensity wear zone in the figure; the fracture position is consistent with the angle of the geometric wear intensity peak point, which is located at the position angle α =65°.
[0046] Step 6, based on Figure 10 According to the wear intensity distribution law of the rotor geometry and considering the operability in the actual rotor surface treatment process, the rotor cross section is divided into three types of areas for optimization.
[0047] The first area (0°~80°): high intensity wear area, by increasing the rotor surface treatment parameters, the purpose of reducing the geometric wear intensity is achieved. The uneven wear area is optimized in sections, among which the high intensity wear area: increased rotor surface treatment parameters ; in, ∆r is the increased rotor surface treatment parameter, in mm; R is the unoptimized rotor surface treatment parameter, in mm; η is the adjustment coefficient.
[0048] The second area (80°~130°) and the third area (130°~180°) are the transition wear area and the gentle wear area respectively. The wear intensity in the gentle wear area is relatively small and uniform, and the original rotor surface treatment parameters are retained; the rotor surface treatment parameters in the transition wear area are smoothly transitioned to balance the wear uniformity and structural continuity. α The expression of the change is as follows: ; Among them, r ( α ) is the optimized rotor surface treatment parameter, in mm; θ 1 is the first angle value, in degrees; θ 2 is the second angle value, in degrees.
[0049] In this embodiment, θ 1=130°, θ 2=80°.
[0050] Optionally, the rotor surface treatment parameter includes at least one of rotor surface hardness and rotor hardened layer depth. During optimization, only the rotor surface hardness or the rotor hardened layer depth may be increased, or both may be increased simultaneously.
[0051] Exemplarily, the surface hardness of the optimized rotor in the third region ranges from 55 HRC to 58 HRC, and the surface hardness in the first region ranges from 65 HRC to 68 HRC.
[0052] Exemplarily, the optimized rotor has a hardened layer depth in the third region ranging from 0.6 mm to 0.9 mm, and a hardened layer depth in the first region ranging from 0.9 mm to 1.2 mm.
[0053] Figure 13 The optimized rotor is divided into three areas, namely red area, green area and gray area. The rotor surface treatment parameters in the red area (OGH) increase, the rotor surface treatment parameters in the gray area (OG'H') remain unchanged, and the rotor surface treatment parameters in the green area (OGG', OH'H) change smoothly. G and G' are α =80°, 130°, H', H are α =230°, 280°. And get the optimized geometric wear intensity scatter plot and radar chart, such as Figure 14 、 Figure 15 .
[0054] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention uses the geometric wear intensity quantitative index to scientifically evaluate the wear degree of each area of the rotor, avoiding the blindness of empirical design.
[0055] 2. The rotor radius is optimized in sections to make the geometric wear intensity uniform, effectively improving the uneven wear problem of the all-metal screw pump rotor.
[0056] 3. This method provides new ideas and methods for the structural optimization of all-metal screw pumps and has broad application prospects.
[0057] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a screw pump rotor surface treatment optimization system based on wear track quantification, which can be used to implement the above-mentioned screw pump rotor surface treatment optimization method based on wear track quantification. The system includes: The stator-rotor contact modeling module is used to obtain the contact conditions between the motion trajectory of the characteristic points on the rotor surface and the inner wall of the stator in different angle intervals according to the motion trajectory of the rotor surface; a wear calculation module, configured to calculate the geometric wear intensity of each feature point based on the contact conditions; An optimization module is used to optimize the rotor surface treatment according to the geometric wear intensity to make the wear uniform.
[0058] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments for illustrating the principles of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit and substance of the present application, and such modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present application.
