[0045] The following is a further detailed description of the present utility model in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 drawings:

[0046] Embodiment 1

[0047] A wire rope braid lubricator for an oil pump is mainly composed of two parts: a front oil suction part and a rear oil spray lubrication part. The oil suction part includes a handle 1, a push rod 2, a sealing gland a3, a sealing gland b4, an oil cylinder 5, a rubber plug, a short joint a7, a valve 8, and a short joint b9. The rear lubrication part includes a flexible tube 10, a nozzle 11, a roller bracket 12, a roller 13, an axle 15, etc. Its main feature is that after pushing the push rod 2, the lubricating oil in the oil cylinder 5 can be sprayed onto the roller 13 that can roll on the roller 15 through the nozzle 11. The roller 13 is locked in the middle of the roller 15 through the cotter pin and the locking plate 18 on the roller 15. The upper part of the roller 13 is provided with a velvet cover for absorbing lubricating oil, and there is a U-shaped groove in the middle corresponding to the front end of the nozzle 11. In order to achieve a better oil spraying effect, the length of the thread of the nozzle 11 can be adjusted, that is, the distance between the nozzle 11 and the roller 13 can be adjusted. The purpose of lubrication and maintenance of the wire rope braid of the pumping unit is achieved by rolling the roller 13 on the wire rope braid. The front end oil suction part, namely the handle 1, the push rod 2, the sealing gland a3, the sealing gland b4, the oil cylinder 5, the short joint a7, the valve 8, the short joint b9, etc., is made of hard plastic material as a whole, which can reduce the weight of lifting the device during manual operation and facilitate flexible operation. The handle 1 is cylindrical or spherical for practical operation and is threadedly connected to the push rod 2. The sealing gland b4 is threadedly connected to the oil cylinder 5. The push rod 2 and the sealing gland b4 are sealed with the sealing rubber ring built in the sealing gland a3, and the lower part has a fence 17 to achieve mechanical sealing of the push rod 2. The lower end of the push rod 2 has a convex rubber plug, which is fastened and fixed by a nut 16 with an external thread. The front end of the oil cylinder 5 is a short joint a7, which is an integral structure with the oil cylinder 5. The short joint a7 is connected to the valve 8 by an external thread. The short joint b9 is connected to the valve 8 by an external thread. The front end of the short joint b9 is connected to the flexible tube 10. Since the flexible tube 10 can have a certain bending angle, it is convenient to adjust the injection angle of the lubricating oil of the front nozzle 11 during use, and at the same time, it is convenient for the roller 13 to contact the braid of the oil pumping unit wire rope at a better angle. The two ends of the flexible tube 10 are respectively connected to the short joint b9 and the nozzle 11. The design ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the oil cylinder 5 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle 11 is 100:1, which enhances the effect of splashing lubricating oil during the process of pushing the push rod 2. The nozzle 11 has its own external thread connected to the internal thread of the roller bracket 12. During use, the nozzle 11 can also be screwed in and out of the internal thread of the roller bracket 12 to adjust the distance between the nozzle 11 and the roller 13 to achieve the best oil spraying effect. The roller bracket 12 is a "U"-shaped barrel, and the upper and lower sides of the roller bracket 12 correspond to the plane openings to achieve the semi-circular wrapping of the two sides of the nozzle 11, and the front end is equipped with a wheel axle 15. In this way, the lubricating oil sprayed from the nozzle 11 can avoid being sprayed outward in large quantities, and the lubricating oil is concentratedly sprayed on the roller 11 due to the shielding of the roller bracket 12, thereby saving the use of the lubricating oil. The two ends of the axle 15 pass through the roller bracket 12, and the two sides of the roller bracket 12 are locked with split pins.On the axle 15, the roller 13 is fixed to the axle 15 by a lock piece 18. A "U"-shaped groove is machined in the middle of the roller 13 to better store a certain amount of lubricating oil and at the same time strengthen the contact with the surface of the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit. The roller 13 is required to have a suede sleeve on its outer surface to ensure the adsorption of lubricating oil during operation and achieve a better lubrication effect during the process of using the roller 13 to lubricate the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] During operation, first open the internal thread joint of the flexible pipe 10 and the short joint b9. By pulling the push rod 2 backward, the negative pressure generated in the oil cylinder 5 is used to suck the lubricating oil into the oil cylinder 5. According to the parts to be lubricated on site and the rust condition of the wire rope pigtail, a certain amount of lubricating oil is reasonably extracted, and the whole should not be greater than two-thirds of the length of the oil cylinder 5. It is recommended to use lubricating oil with a 1:1 ratio of machine oil and diesel to reduce the viscosity of the lubricating oil, facilitate spraying from the nozzle 11, and improve the lubrication effect. Immediately close the valve 8 and tighten the internal thread joint of the flexible pipe 10 and the short joint b9. Then, open the valve 8 again, gently place the roller 13 at the front end of the wire rope pigtail lubricator of the pumping unit on the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit. After applying appropriate manual pressure to the push rod 2, the rubber plug moves forward in the oil cylinder 5 to pressurize the lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil is sprayed onto the U-shaped groove of the roller 13 through the nozzle 11. At the same time, as the roller 13 rolls up and down on the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit, the sprayed lubricating oil lubricates the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit. At the same time, a "U"-shaped groove is machined in the middle of the roller 13, which can not only achieve the short-term storage of lubricating oil but also be in close contact with the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit to improve the lubrication effect. At the same time, the bending angle of the flexible pipe 10 can also be adjusted to adjust the angle of the roller bracket 12, so as to lubricate different parts and angles of the wire rope pigtail of the pumping unit. The outer side of the roller 13 has a suede design, which can also store a certain amount of lubricating oil and can play a role in replenishing and brushing the lubricating oil on the wire rope pigtail, further improving the lubrication effect. Since the nozzle 11 has an external thread and is threadedly connected to the roller bracket 12, the distance between the nozzle 11 and the roller 13 can also be adjusted to better spray the sprayed lubricating oil on the roller 13 and save the usage amount of lubricating oil. According to the on-site situation, when the handle 1 presses the oil cylinder 5 to the front end and the pressure of the nozzle 11 drops or a small amount of lubricating oil is sprayed, it means that the lubricating oil in the oil cylinder 5 has been used up. By closing the valve 8 again, loosening the internal thread joint of the flexible pipe 10 and the short joint b9, sucking the suction adapter 7 again to suck in lubricating oil, and pulling the handle 1 backward to suck the lubricant in the oil cylinder 5 to the required position again, it can be used for the second time. After using the wire rope pigtail lubricator of the pumping unit, drain the lubricating oil in the oil cylinder 5. Open the valve 8, loosen the internal thread joint of the flexible pipe 10 and the short joint b9, and properly clean and store each component. A wire rope pigtail lubricator of a pumping unit is simple, convenient, and practical in overall operation and is worthy of popularization and use in oil fields.
