Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil production equipment technology, specifically to a device for launching and retrieving reciprocating submersible pumps. Background Technology
[0002] A submersible electric pump (SAP) is a multi-stage centrifugal pump that operates downhole. It is lowered into the well along with the tubing. Surface power is transmitted to the SSP motor via a transformer, control panel, and power cable. The SSP motor drives the multi-stage centrifugal pump to rotate, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy and lifting the well fluid to the surface.
[0003] Currently, when using electric reciprocating oil pumps for retrieval, existing technologies generally employ separators and sand filters to separate gas and sand from the oil, thus achieving the separation of impurities and gas. However, current separators cannot effectively isolate or separate gas from the oil, resulting in some air bubbles still entering the pump's interior, potentially causing airlock and affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Furthermore, current sand separation relies solely on the sand filter, but with prolonged use, the sand filter is prone to blockage, affecting oil suction. The ingestion of fine sand also hinders pump operation and causes blade wear and damage. Therefore, a reciprocating submersible electric pump paired with a retrieval device is proposed to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-8 A reciprocating submersible electric pump-equipped fishing device includes a valve pipe 1, a sleeve 2 at the bottom of the valve pipe 1, a centralizer inside the sleeve 2, a bottom pipe 3 connected to the centralizer, an air gap protector 4 connected to the top of the bottom pipe 3, a linear motor 5 connected to the top of the air gap protector 4, a processing component 6 on the linear motor 5, a bidirectional plunger pump 7 connected to the top of the processing component 6, and an oil pipe 8 connected to the top of the bidirectional plunger pump 7, which is connected to the valve pipe 1. The processing component 6 is used to process and separate air bubbles and sand in the oil. The processing component 6 includes a power unit, a fixed processing device, and a gas processing device. The power unit can drive the fixed processing device to separate sand and gravel while also separating and squeezing the gas for self-discharge.
[0031] In this embodiment, the power unit includes a power shaft 601, on which blades 9 are mounted. A jacket 10 is connected to the bottom of the bidirectional plunger pump 7, and the blades 9 are located inside the jacket 10. A retarder shaft 606 is connected to the bottom of the power shaft 601 via a reduction gear 605. A reciprocating groove 607 is provided on the surface of the retarder shaft 606, and a solids processing device is mounted on the retarder shaft 606. When the oil flows from bottom to top, it drives the blades 9 to rotate. The rotation of the blades 9, in turn, drives the retarder shaft 606 to move at a slower speed via the reduction gear 605. The reduction gear 605 contains a planetary reduction gear set. Because the blades 9 rotate at a relatively high speed due to the oil suction, the planetary reduction gear set is used to control the slower rotation of the retarder shaft 606, thereby providing power for subsequent cleaning and impurity removal.
[0032] Furthermore, the solids handling device includes a sand filter 602, with a connecting sleeve 617 connected to the top of the sand filter 602. The connecting sleeve 617 is connected to the outer sleeve 10. The sand filter 602 has multiple sieve holes and a cleaning and squeezing device. The sand filter 602 effectively separates and isolates impurities in the oil, preventing them from entering the equipment and hindering the operation of electronic components and the plunger pump, thus improving the operational stability of the equipment.
[0033] Furthermore, the cleaning and squeezing device includes a sliding plate 603, which is slidably connected to the sand-proof mesh 602. A sliding pin 6033 is provided inside the sliding plate 603, and the sliding pin 6033 is slidably connected inside the reciprocating groove 607. The sliding pin 6033 slides within the bidirectional reciprocating groove 607, causing the sliding plate 603 to slide up and down reciprocally, thereby performing up-and-down reciprocating treatment on the surface of the screen 602, ensuring effective cleaning of the screen, improving separation efficiency, and extending its service life.
[0034] In addition, the sliding plate 603 includes an outer ring 6032 and an inner ring 6031. The outer ring 6032 is connected to the inner ring 6031 by a connecting key. The outer ring 6032 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the sandproof mesh 602. The inner ring 6031 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sandproof mesh 602. The inner ring 6031 has a fine hole 608. An inclined plate 6035 is provided inside the fine hole 608. A guide hole is provided on the inclined plate 6035. An extrusion groove 6034 is provided in the inner ring 6031 and the outer ring 6032. The extrusion groove 6034 matches with multiple sieve holes on the sandproof mesh 602. The extrusion groove 6034 communicates with the fine hole 608. As the sliding plate 603 slides up and down, the inside of the sand-proof mesh 602 is filled with oil. So, after the oil passes through the fine hole 608, it will pass through the inclined plate 6035, and part of it will enter the squeezing groove 6034. Then, as the sliding plate 603 moves up and down, it will generate squeezing force on the oil inside the squeezing groove 6034, causing the oil to flow back through the screen holes of the screen 602. This back-blowing will clean the impurities attached to the inside of the screen holes, ensuring the cleanliness of the screen and improving the separation effect of the screen 602.
[0035] In addition, the gas processing device includes a triangular plate 609, which is slidably connected to the surface of the deceleration shaft 606. The triangular plate 609 is located above the sliding plate 603. A piston plate 610 is connected to the triangular plate 609 via a connecting rod. An oil inlet 619 and a liquid flow hole 618 are respectively opened at the upper and lower positions of the connecting sleeve 617. A tapered sleeve 611 is provided inside the connecting sleeve 617, which divides the internal space of the connecting sleeve 617 into a compression chamber 612 and a dividing chamber 620. When the sliding plate 603 moves upward, it will come into contact with the triangular plate 609, thereby synchronously driving the triangular plate 609 to move upward, squeezing out the impurities and air bubbles accumulated inside the extrusion chamber 612. As the liquid is squeezed, it is automatically discharged outside the equipment, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment. The cone sleeve 611 can effectively separate impurities and air bubbles in the oil. When the oil flows, it first enters the interior of the cone sleeve 611. After the cone sleeve 611 is full, it will flow into the interior of the dividing chamber 620 from the gap between the bottom of the cone sleeve 611 and the connecting sleeve 617. Therefore, the air bubbles will remain at the high point, that is, in the top space inside the cone sleeve 611, and will not flow out of the gap. The same applies to floating impurities. The vast majority of them will be covered by the cone sleeve 611, achieving the separation of air bubbles and impurities.
[0036] It is worth noting that the piston plate 610 is located inside the extrusion chamber 612, and the liquid flow hole 618 is located below the tapered sleeve 611. A flow gap is provided between the tapered sleeve 611 and the connecting sleeve 617. A discharge channel 616 is provided inside the connecting sleeve 617. A baffle plate 613 is slidably connected inside the discharge channel 616. A pressure rod 614 is connected to the top of the baffle plate 613. A compression spring 615 is connected to the top of the pressure rod 614. The compression spring 615 is located inside the connecting sleeve 617. The triangular plate 609 will drive the piston plate 610 to move upward through the connecting rod and enter the inner cylindrical sliding cavity of the cone sleeve 611. At this time, the oil between the piston plate 610 and the barrier plate 613 will be squeezed upward along with the piston plate 610, thus squeezing and eliminating the air bubbles. At the same time, it can also discharge a small amount of oil with impurities floating at the top position from the position of the impurity discharge channel 616. Therefore, the whole process achieves the effect of defoaming and the effect of self-discharging floating fine impurities.
[0037] It is worth mentioning that the piston plate 610 is connected to a rubber sleeve, and the cone sleeve 611 has a cylindrical sliding cavity inside, allowing the piston plate 610 to slide into the cylindrical sliding cavity. The bottom of the sandproof mesh 602 is connected to a sand collecting sleeve 604. The cylindrical sliding cavity provides sliding space for the piston plate 610, but there is still a small gap between the piston plate 610 and the cylindrical sliding cavity. Otherwise, during automatic impurity removal, the piston plate 610 would be sucked into the cylindrical sliding cavity by negative pressure, preventing it from moving down and resetting under its own weight. The sand collecting sleeve 604 can collect the adhering and flowing impurities on the sandproof mesh 602, and the cleaned impurities will also enter the sand collecting sleeve 604 for collection.
[0038] Working principle: When the submersible electric pump equipment is used for drop-off and retrieval operations, the bidirectional plunger pump 7 pumps the oil in the well in an active manner, draws the oil into the processing component 6, and then pumps it into the valve pipe 1 through the oil pipe 8 for collection.The entire processing component 6 effectively separates solids and gases from the oil. Specifically, when the oil is reciprocated by the bidirectional plunger pump 7, it draws the oil from inside the sleeve 2. The oil then enters through the sand screen 602, passes through the fine holes 608 on the sliding plate 603, and enters the connecting sleeve 617 through the flow holes 618. If air bubbles or tiny impurities are present in the oil, they will be directly blocked and enclosed by the conical sleeve 611. Therefore, fine sand and air bubbles accumulate inside the squeezing chamber 612 of the conical sleeve 611. Once the squeezing chamber 612 is full, the oil enters the dividing chamber 620 from the bottom gap of the conical sleeve 611, and then enters the outer sleeve 10 through multiple interconnected oil inlets 619. The oil is then drawn into the double-acting plunger pump 7 to perform the oil suction operation. As the oil flows from bottom to top, it drives the blades 9 to rotate. The rotation of the blades 9 drives the retarder shaft 606 to move at a slower speed via the reducer 605. The reducer 605 contains a planetary reduction gear set. Because the blades 9 rotate at a relatively high speed due to the oil suction, the planetary reduction gear set controls the slowing rotation of the retarder shaft 606. The rotation of the retarder shaft 606 drives the sliding plate 603 to slide up and down reciprocatingly via the sliding pin 6033 in the double-acting reciprocating groove 607. Therefore, the outer ring 6032 and the inner ring 6031 clean the inner and outer walls of the spun sand screen 602, preventing impurities from adhering to the oil. This causes clogging of the screen holes. When the sliding plate 603 slides up and down, because the inside of the sand screen 602 is filled with oil, the oil, after passing through the fine holes 608, will pass through the inclined plate 6035, and part of it will enter the squeezing groove 6034. Then, with the up and down movement of the sliding plate 603, it will generate squeezing force on the oil inside the squeezing groove 6034, forcing the oil to flow back through the screen holes of the screen 602, thereby backflushing the screen holes and cleaning the impurities attached to the inside of the screen holes, ensuring the cleanliness of the screen and improving the separation effect of the screen 602. Even if some small impurities enter, they will be blocked by the cone sleeve 611 and will not enter the interior of the plunger pump. When the piston moves, it will come into contact with the triangular plate 609, which will then move the triangular plate 609 upward. The triangular plate 609 will then move the piston plate 610 upward through the connecting rod, entering the cylindrical sliding cavity inside the cone sleeve 611. At this time, the oil between the piston plate 610 and the baffle plate 613 will be squeezed upward by the piston plate 610, thus squeezing and eliminating air bubbles. At the same time, it can also discharge a small amount of oil with impurities floating at the top from the position of the impurity discharge channel 616. Therefore, the whole process achieves the effect of defoaming and the effect of self-discharging floating fine impurities, improving the overall stability of the equipment operation, and also preventing sand and gravel from entering the interior of the plunger pump, reducing damage to the plunger pump.
