Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underground oil production, and more specifically to a hydraulic buffer brake. Background Art

[0002] The connection method between the downhole screw pump and the ground drive device is that the screw pump is connected to the sucker rod, and the sucker rod is connected to the light rod. The light rod is set inside the driving main shaft and rotates with the main shaft. During the oil production process, the slender sucker rod that transmits power accumulates a high reverse elastic energy. When the pump is shut down or stuck, this reverse energy is released, which will cause the driving main shaft to reverse at high speed, which is very likely to cause damage to the transmission device or personal accidents, or cause the sucker rod connection thread to loosen and fall into the well, resulting in an oil well shutdown accident. Therefore, a brake device must be installed.

[0003] In the prior art, most mechanical brake devices are used to drive the spindle in reverse. When the spindle is driven in reverse, the brake is braked by clamping the brake disc. This braking method requires the brake device to withstand the kinetic energy generated by the increased reverse torque, which can easily cause the brake device to wear and affect the braking effect, thereby affecting the stability of the equipment. Therefore, how to eliminate the reverse torque during the braking process and improve the stability of the equipment operation has become a problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a hydraulic buffer brake, which is arranged in a chamber below the bearing box, the chamber below the bearing box is filled with brake fluid, the hydraulic buffer brake is immersed in the brake fluid, the hydraulic buffer brake is sleeved on the driving main shaft, the hydraulic buffer brake includes a fixed wheel, a rotating wheel, a roller type overrunning clutch arranged on the driving main shaft, and an overrunning clutch sealing sleeve sleeved on the outside of the roller type overrunning clutch, wherein the rotating wheel is fixed to the overrunning clutch sealing sleeve, and the rotating wheel is connected to the driving main shaft through the roller type overrunning clutch.

At the same time, a part of the brake fluid will be discharged from the chamber through the filter tank on the top of the rotating wheel, and new fluid will be replenished at the same time. In this cycle, the heat energy of the brake fluid is dissipated, and energy conservation in the chamber is realized. A fluid dynamic brake shell is arranged outside the fixed wheel and the rotating wheel to protect the rotating wheel and the fixed wheel.

The fixed wheel 3 is connected below the rotating wheel 2, and the fixed wheel 3 is fixed to the upper part of the chamber. When the driving spindle is reversed, the roller-type overrunning clutch 6 rotates with the driving spindle, and the roller-type overrunning clutch 6 drives the rotating wheel 2 to rotate. The rotating wheel 2 pushes the brake fluid, causing the brake fluid to generate backflow and vortex. When the brake fluid contacts the fixed wheel 3, increased resistance is generated, causing the brake fluid temperature to rise, and the kinetic energy generated by the reverse torque is stored in the brake fluid, thereby realizing the release of the reverse torque. At the same time, part of the brake fluid will be discharged from the brake chamber through the filter tank on the upper part of the fixed wheel, and new brake fluid will be replenished in, and the cycle will continue, causing the heat energy of the brake fluid to dissipate.
