Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil pumping units, in particular to a polished rod centralizer for an oil pumping well. Background Art

[0002] During on-site construction such as oilfield well repair operations, dynamometer test, and pumping unit parameter adjustment, the "hair braid" is suspended on a rope hanger. A cover plate is fixed to the side of the rope hanger by bolts to prevent the bare rod from falling off. When the rope hanger is subjected to the upward pulling force of the "hair braid", due to the structure of the rope hanger itself, it is easy to cause the upper part of the rope hanger to tilt, causing the bare rod to deviate along the tangent direction of the donkey head, causing the bare rod to bend and twist, or even break and become scrapped. The emergence of the above problems not only delays the start of the pumping unit, but also increases the consumption of materials. In order to achieve the purpose of straightening, the operator has to use methods such as pushing the rope hanger or using wooden sticks to adjust the alignment between the bare rod and the donkey head. This not only violates the relevant operating procedures, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has low work efficiency, but also may cause major safety accidents.

[0003] In the published Chinese patent application, the publication number is: CN219974438U, and the patent name is: A pumping unit rod straightener, including two straightening mechanisms and a connecting seat connecting the two straightening mechanisms. The two straightening mechanisms are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the connecting seat. The straightening mechanism includes a wheel fork and two pulleys symmetrically arranged on the wheel fork. The sliding space of the rod is formed between the two pulleys. The rod and the two pulleys are against each other to generate friction while limiting the rod from deviating in the direction of the two pulleys through the two pulleys. The friction drives the pulley to rotate to match the reciprocating motion of the rod during operation. The two straightening mechanisms are perpendicular to each other. Although, the prior art uses four pulleys to cooperate with each other to achieve positioning in four directions, so as to constrain the rod to the center position, thereby achieving the straightening of the rod. The friction between the rod and the pulley causes the pulley to rotate, reducing the wear and loss of the device. However, when the oil pump drives the rod to reciprocate and lift, friction is generated between the rod and the pulley. The friction between the two is relatively large, which causes wear to both the rod and the pulley, reducing the service life of the rod and the pulley. Therefore, the existing technology has certain limitations.

[0004] In summary, the problems existing in the prior art are: the friction between the fixed pulley and the polished rod is large, which easily causes the polished rod to wear and reduces the service life of the polished rod. In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, this case is specially proposed to solve them. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a pumping well bare rod straightener, which is fixedly installed on the pumping unit frame and is used to straighten the pumping unit bare rod 2, including a cylinder 1, a support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 1, and a fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 3 away from the cylinder 1. The fixing plate 4 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes, and the fixing plate 4 is fixedly installed with the pumping unit frame through a plurality of steel bolts.

[0025] The support rod 3 and the fixing plate 4 are used to support and fix the cylinder 1 on the oil pumping unit frame.

[0026] The cylinder 1 is sleeved on the outside of the polished rod 2, and there is a certain distance between the inner wall of the cylinder 1 and the polished rod 2. A plurality of straightening components are arranged on the side wall of the cylinder 1, and one end of each straightening component abuts against the outer wall of the polished rod 2, and one end of each straightening component abuts against the outer wall of the polished rod 2 at multiple positions.

[0027] The cylinder 1 has a certain height and is sleeved outside the polished rod 2 along the length direction thereof. Each straightening assembly is used to straighten the polished rod 2. By fixing the cylinder 1 on the pumping unit frame, the cylinder 1 surrounds the polished rod 2 with a certain distance between the two, and using multiple straightening assemblies on the cylinder 1 to abut and limit multiple parts of the outer wall of the polished rod 2, the polished rod 2 is located in the center of the cylinder 1 as a whole, thereby achieving the straightening of the polished rod 2.

[0028] The straightening assembly includes a rotary handle 6, a threaded rod 5, an annular shell 7 and a plurality of rolling balls 9. The threaded rod 5 transversely penetrates the side wall of the cylinder 1 and the two are threadedly connected. One end of the threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the outer ring side wall of the annular shell 7, and the other end of the threaded rod 5 is fixedly connected to the rotary handle 6. A semi-annular inner cavity 8 is provided inside the annular shell 7. Each rolling ball 9 is arranged in the semi-annular inner cavity 8 of the annular shell 7, and a partial spherical surface of the rolling ball 9 penetrates the inner ring side wall of the annular shell 7. Each rolling ball 9 can roll in the annular shell 7, and the semi-annular inner cavity 8 of the annular shell 7 is filled with lubricating oil. The rolling ball 9 and the annular shell 7 are both made of tin-based babbitt alloy material.

[0029] The rotary handle 6 and the threaded rod 5 are used to adjust the distance between the annular shell 7 and the polished rod 2. By rotating the rotary handle 6, the rotary handle 6 drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate on the side wall of the cylinder 1, and the threaded rod 5 rotates to push the annular shell 7 to move laterally, and the annular shell 7 moves closer to or away from the polished rod 2 when moving laterally. When the annular shell 7 is close to the polished rod 2, the annular shell 7 pushes each ball 9 to approach the polished rod 2, and each ball 9 abuts against the polished rod 2. When each ball 9 in the plurality of straightening assemblies abuts against the polished rod 2 at different positions and different heights, each straightening assembly straightens the polished rod 2 through each ball 9.

[0030] The straightening assembly uses a plurality of rolling balls 9 to contact the outer wall of the polished rod 2. The spherical surface of each rolling ball 9 contacts the outer wall of the polished rod 2 at one point. Compared with the prior art, the direct contact area between the straightening device and the polished rod 2 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the two and greatly reducing the wear of the straightening device on the polished rod 2. At the same time, the rolling balls 9 are made of tin-based babbitt alloy material, which greatly reduces the friction between the rolling balls 9 and the polished rod 2, thereby greatly reducing the wear on the polished rod 2 and extending the service life of the polished rod 2.

[0031] Specifically, the cylinder 1 is composed of a first semi-ring shell 101 and a second semi-ring shell 102, and the first semi-ring shell 101 is detachably connected to the second semi-ring shell 102. The upper and lower parts of the first semi-ring shell 101 and the second semi-ring shell 102 are respectively fixedly connected (including welding) with ear plates 103, and the ear plates 103 on the first semi-ring shell 101 and the ear plates 103 on the second semi-ring shell 102 are fixedly installed by bolts 104.

[0032] The cylinder 1 adopts a two-petal structure so as to be easily mounted on the outside of the polished rod 2. The first semi-ring shell 101 and the second semi-ring shell 102 are fixedly installed by bolts 104 and then combined to form the cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 is composed of the first semi-ring shell 101 and the second semi-ring shell 102, which is convenient for maintenance and installation. When installing a pumping well polished rod centralizer shown in this case, the installation work can be achieved without changing the original pumping unit and the polished rod 2 structure.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
