Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum machinery, in particular to a novel sealing structure of a small flat cable head. Background Art

[0002] At present, submersible electric pumps are important equipment for oil extraction. Submersible electric pumps are responsible for pumping crude oil or other liquids underground to the surface through pumps. They are one of the key equipment in oil extraction. Submersible motors are installed at the bottom of submersible electric pumps. Their main function is to provide power support and convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive submersible electric pumps to lift and transport oil well liquids. A cable connection structure is required to connect the ground power supply to the submersible motor, convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and provide power support for the submersible electric pump. Because the underground environment is harsh, there are very strict requirements for the mechanical structure and insulation structure of the cable connection structure. The mechanical structure must be easy to install and sealed to prevent well fluid and harmful gases from entering the submersible motor through the cable connection structure to ensure electrical safety.

[0003] However, the sealing connection structure between the existing small flat cable head and the submersible electric pump has poor sealing performance and cannot effectively prevent well fluid or harmful gas from entering the submersible electric pump through the cable connection structure, thereby affecting the normal operation and safety of the equipment. In addition, the flange of the traditional cable connection structure is round. For motors with relatively large outer diameters (>107mm), there is no problem with use and installation. However, for motors with relatively small outer diameters (≤107mm), the round flange will cause the submersible motor to be partially too large, which is not friendly to small-diameter oil wells with long mining time. With the advancement of technology, the power density of the motor is The power is increasing, and under the condition of voltage constraint, the greater the power, the greater the current required, and the current carrying capacity of the cable connection structure is also increasing. However, the external dimensions of the small flat cable head cannot be too large, otherwise it affects the projection size of the entire electric pump. However, the small flat cable head with a circular flange in the prior art has a large structural dimension. During the installation process, the small flat cable head is easily damaged by bumps, which damages the seal of the cable head, causing well fluid to penetrate into the motor, destroying the insulation, and shortening the service life of the electric pump unit. As long as well fluid penetrates into the motor, the motor will soon be damaged due to a short circuit caused by insulation failure, resulting in great economic losses.

[0004] Therefore, a new sealing structure of a small flat cable head is needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provides a novel sealing structure for a small flat cable head. The sealing component in the utility model can provide mechanical support for the small flat cable lead and can form a reliable sealing structure from the circumferential and axial directions, thereby preventing well fluid and harmful gases from entering the interior of the submersible electric pump through the small flat cable head, and the sealing effect is good.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a new sealing structure of a small flat cable head, comprising a small flat cable and a shell, wherein the shell is fixedly connected to one side of a submersible electric pump, the small flat cable is installed inside the shell, and a sealing component is arranged inside the shell;

[0007] A flat flange is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, the flange and the motor head of the submersible electric pump are fixed to each other by screws A, and a socket A is fixedly connected inside the motor head;

[0008] The sealing assembly includes a sealing gasket A, a cushion block A and a cushion block B, wherein the cushion block A and the cushion block B are both fixedly connected inside the housing, the cushion block B is arranged on one side of the cushion block A, and the sealing gasket A is arranged on the other side of the cushion block A;

[0009] One end of the small flat cable passes through the sealing pad A, the cushion block A, and the cushion block B from left to right in sequence and is plugged into the socket A of the motor head;

[0010] The outer jacket of the small flat cable is provided with a sealing sleeve A, and the sealing sleeve A is arranged between the cushion block A and the small flat cable.

[0011] Furthermore, a cavity is provided inside the shell, and the cavity is filled with sealant, and the root of the small flat cable is bonded to the shell through the sealant.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the small flat cable close to the submersible electric pump is fixedly connected with a cable connector, and the cable connector is inserted into the housing and plugged into the motor head of the submersible electric pump.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing gasket A is any one of a silicone sealing gasket, a sealing lead gasket or a fluororubber sealing gasket.

[0014] Furthermore, the pad A and the pad B are made of the same material, and the pad A and the pad B are both made of any one of polyoxymethylene resin pads or polytetrafluoroethylene pads.

[0015] Furthermore, the sealing sleeve A is any one of a rubber sealing sleeve or a polyurethane sealing sleeve.

[0016] The advantages of the utility model are: the utility model provides a new sealing structure of a small flat cable head, which has the following technical effects:

[0017] 1. The small flat cable in the utility model is installed inside the shell, and a sealing assembly is arranged inside the shell. The sealing assembly includes a sealing gasket A, a cushion block A and a cushion block B. The sealing assembly can provide mechanical support for the small flat cable lead and can form a reliable sealing structure from the circumferential and axial directions, which can prevent well fluid and harmful gases from entering the submersible electric pump through the small flat cable head, and the sealing effect is good.

[0018] 2. Compared with the conventional small flat cable head structure, the utility model is more suitable for use in small well diameters. The flange in the utility model is a flat structure. The small flat cable head is not easily damaged by bumps during installation. At present, the projection size of the conventional small flat cable head structure is about 115mm, and the projection size of the new cable connection structure is only 107mm. For small-diameter oil wells buried thousands of meters underground, especially inclined wells, the larger the projection size, the greater the installation difficulty. Taking the well diameter of 5.5 inches as an example, when installing a motor with an outer diameter of 107mm, the conventional small flat cable head structure has a larger size. During installation, the small flat cable head is easily damaged by bumps, which damages the seal of the cable head, causes well fluid to penetrate into the motor, destroys insulation, and shortens the service life of the electric pump unit. As long as well fluid penetrates into the motor, the motor will soon be damaged due to short circuit caused by insulation failure, causing great economic losses. The new cable connection structure of the utility model solves this problem well, so that the unit can achieve a reasonable service life and improve economic benefits.
