TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil extraction equipment, and discloses an electric control refitting assembly for a pumping unit brake. BACKGROUND
[0002] A beam pumping unit is a widely used mechanical device in oilfield exploitation, and its brake system is crucial for the safety of device maintenance and well repair operations. Traditional pumping unit brake systems usually adopt a manual operation mode, including a hand brake mechanism and a band brake mechanism. The hand brake mechanism is operated by an operator pulling a hand brake lever, and through transmission components such as a cross pull rod, a reversing mechanism and a vertical pull rod, finally making the brake shoe tightly hold the brake wheel to realize braking. This purely mechanical brake mode has obvious disadvantages: the operator must be present on site for operation, which is labor-intensive and inefficient; there are safety hazards in bad weather or night operations; remote control and automatic operation cannot be realized, which is not compatible with the development trend of modern oilfield digitization and intelligentization. In addition, the manual brake is difficult to accurately control the brake force, which may cause the brake to be too tight or too loose, affecting the service life of the equipment and the safety of the operation.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN210196316U discloses an automatic brake device for a pumping unit, which includes a brake control cabinet, a PLC controller, a servo motor, an electric push rod and a pull rod assembly. The PLC controller receives driving instructions from the pumping unit controller, controls the servo motor to drive the electric push rod to perform extension or retraction operation, and drives the pumping unit brake crank to rotate to realize automatic braking. When the manual brake is needed, the pin shaft connecting the electric push rod and the pull rod assembly needs to be removed, and the pull rod assembly needs to be connected with the manual brake device. Although this technical solution realizes the automatic brake function, it still has the following disadvantages: the switching between manual and automatic brake modes needs to be realized by disassembling and installing the pin shaft, which is tedious and has the risk of losing the pin shaft; the device needs to be greatly modified from the original brake system, which is complex to install and has a high cost; the device structure is relatively complex, which is inconvenient to maintain; and no special parking protection mechanism is provided, which may have safety hazards when parked for a long time.
[0004] Another Chinese patent document CN206377184U discloses a remote control automatic brake device for pumping unit, which comprises a brake executing device and an electric control cabinet. The brake executing device is driven by a linear motor, and the brake shoe is retracted or released to realize braking through the reciprocating movement of the linear motor to drive the brake cam to rotate. The device can realize automatic braking through the remote control terminal to receive instructions. However, this technical solution also has obvious defects: the structure driven by the linear motor is relatively complex, and the manufacturing cost is high; the device needs to be installed in parallel with the original manual brake system, and occupies a large space; the compatibility with the original hand brake mechanism is not considered, which may cause mutual interference between the two systems; there is also a lack of reliable parking protection mechanism; and the original brake system needs to be greatly changed during installation, which has a large amount of reconstruction engineering.
[0005] In summary, the pumping unit brake systems and related automatic brake devices in the prior art generally have the following problems: manual operation is inconvenient and has safety hazards; the automatic brake device has a complex structure, a large amount of installation and reconstruction engineering, and high cost; the switching operation between manual and automatic modes is tedious; there is a lack of reliable parking protection function; and the compatibility with the original brake system is poor, which makes the reconstruction difficult. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a pumping unit brake electric control retrofit assembly with simple structure, easy installation, low cost, and capable of realizing hand brake and electric control dual control without mutual interference, and having reliable parking protection function, for improving the operation safety of pumping unit, reducing the labor intensity, and adapting to the development needs of oilfield digitalization.
