Therefore, conventional oil pumps have lower working efficiency during the exploitation process, which affects the displacement of the oil pumps. Second, due to the heavy load during the exploitation process, conventional oil pumps are prone to high failure rates, which results in low working efficiency and can easily seriously affect the exploitation effect.

[0004] Therefore, it is desired in the art to provide a stratified oil pump to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0057] When the stratified oil pump 100 performs an upstroke operation, the working process of the lower pump assembly is as follows:

[0058] The second plunger 42 and the plunger joint 127 move upward, the volume of the working chamber in the third pump barrel 41 and the second oil pipe coupling 54 increases, and the pressure in the chamber decreases. When the pressure in the chamber is lower than the formation pressure of the lower oil layer, the fixed valve 55 opens, thereby completing the oil pumping work of the lower oil layer.

[0059] Preferably, during the oil pumping process, the floating valve 52 is locked under the pressure of the liquid column in the oil pipe.

[0060] When the stratified oil pump 100 performs an upstroke operation, the working process of the upper pump assembly is as follows:

[0061] The first plunger 13 and the plunger joint 117 move upward, the volume of the working chamber formed by the sucker rod 31, the first oil pipe coupling 21 and the oil discharge valve seat 23 increases, and the pressure in the chamber decreases. When the pressure in the chamber is lower than the formation pressure of the upper oil layer, the oil inlet assembly opens, thereby completing the oil pumping work of the upper oil layer.

[0062] Preferably, during the oil pumping process, the oil discharge assembly is locked under the pressure of the liquid column in the oil pipe.

[0063] When the stratified oil pump 100 performs a downstroke operation, the working process of the lower pump assembly is as follows:

[0064] The second plunger 42 and the plunger joint 127 move downward, the volume of the working chamber in the third pump barrel 41 and the second oil pipe coupling 54 decreases, and the pressure in the chamber increases. When the pressure in the chamber is higher than the pressure of the liquid column in the oil pipe, the floating valve 52 opens, thereby completing the oil drainage work of the lower oil layer.

[0065] Preferably, during the oil discharge process, the fixed valve 55 is locked under the pressure of the liquid column in the oil pipe.

[0066] When the stratified oil pump 100 performs a downstroke operation, the working process of the upper pump assembly is as follows:

[0067] The first plunger 13 and the plunger joint 117 move downward, the volume of the working chamber formed by the sucker rod 31, the first oil pipe coupling 21 and the oil drain valve seat 23 decreases, and the pressure in the chamber increases. When the pressure in the chamber is higher than the pressure of the liquid column in the oil pipe, the oil drain assembly opens, thereby completing the oil drain work of the upper oil layer.

[0068] Preferably, during the oil discharge process, the oil inlet assembly is locked under the pressure of the liquid column in the oil pipe.

[0069] During the downstroke of the stratified oil pump 100 , the oil drawn by the lower pump will merge with the oil drawn by the upper pump and will be discharged to the ground through the main oil discharge valve 14 and the main oil discharge valve cover 15 .

[0070] In the present invention, when the stratified oil pump 100 performs an upward stroke or an upward stroke, the first plunger 13, the second plunger 42 and the sucker rod 31 all move synchronously. Thus, the stratified oil pump 100 can more easily achieve the purpose of one rod for multiple purposes, that is, in one reciprocating stroke, the upper pump and the lower pump perform the work of sucking and discharging oil at the same time.

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0072] First, the utility model can make the upper pump assembly and the lower pump assembly complete the work of pumping and draining oil at the same time in one reciprocating stroke, thereby achieving the purpose of one rod for multiple purposes. In addition, the downward resistance of the sucker rod 31 is small during the downstroke, thereby effectively improving the pumping efficiency of the stratified oil pump 100 and the efficiency of the mechanical oil production system.

[0073] Secondly, compared with conventional pumps, this device has the advantages of large displacement, simple and compact structure, reliable performance, low failure rate, and long pump inspection cycle, so it has good promotion value.
