Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fluid mixing devices, and particularly relates to a pipeline mixer. Background Art

[0002] In oilfield production, in order to master the true situation such as the comprehensive water cut of the produced fluid from oil wells, it is necessary to install a pipeline mixer on the backpressure pipeline. One of the purposes is to obtain a uniformly mixed and representative sample. There is generally a reduced diameter section in the pipeline mixers used in the oilfield site. When the produced fluid from the oil well flows through the pipeline mixer on the backpressure pipeline, throttling is likely to occur due to the reduced diameter structure inside the pipeline mixer, resulting in varying degrees of increase in backpressure, affecting the full play of the oil well productivity, especially obvious in viscous oil wells. In some viscous oil wells, the pipeline mixer cannot even be installed. This structural defect of the existing pipeline mixer has imposed certain restrictions on the smooth production of the oilfield. How to overcome this defect to achieve the smooth and stable progress of oilfield operations and improve the economic benefits of the oilfield has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0026] The present utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a pipe mixer 100 according to the present utility model. As shown in the figure, the pipe mixer 100 includes a pipe body 1 and a mixing part 2. The pipe body 1 is configured as a tubular structure, and the mixing part 2 is arranged inside the pipe body 1, including a dynamic mixing component 21 and a static mixing component 22, and the interior of the pipe body 1 is configured as a structure without a reduced-diameter section, that is, the inner diameter of the pipe body 1 remains uniform in its axial direction.

[0028] During specific operation, the staff installs the pipe mixer 100 on a back-pressure pipeline (not shown), and then the produced fluid from the oil well flows into the pipe mixer 100 through the back-pressure pipeline. The produced fluid from the oil well is uniformly mixed under the action of the dynamic mixing component 21 and the static mixing component 22. After that, the staff can sample and analyze the mixed produced fluid from the oil well.

[0029] Through this design, on the premise of meeting the requirement of uniformly mixing the produced fluid from the oil well, during the mixing process of the produced fluid from the oil well through the pipe mixer 100, since the interior of the pipe body 1 is configured as a structure without a reduced-diameter section, the flow rate of the produced fluid from the oil well inside the pipe body 1 is increased, the back-pressure will not rise, the pressure drop loss is reduced, and thus the adverse effect on the oil well production capacity caused by the structure of the pipe mixer 100 is eliminated, improving the economic benefit of oilfield operation.

[0030] Such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dynamic mixing component 21 includes no less than two brackets 211 configured to be connected to the inner wall of the pipeline body 1, a support shaft 212 disposed between the brackets 211, and a four-blade propeller 213 sleeved on the support shaft 212. During specific operation, when the produced fluid from the oil well flows through the four-blade propeller 212 inside the pipeline body 1, it will push the four-blade propeller 212 to rotate, thereby dynamically mixing the produced fluid from the oil well. It is easy to understand that within a certain range, the more the number of four-blade propellers 212, the more levels of mixing the dynamic mixing component 21 can perform on the produced fluid from the oil well, and thus a better mixing effect can be achieved.

[0031] Preferably, the number of brackets 211 is two, the four-blade propellers 213 are all between the two brackets 211, and the number of four-blade propellers 213 is three.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the static mixing component 22 includes SK-type spiral blades 221 disposed inside the pipeline body 1. The torsion angle of the SK-type spiral blades 221 is 180°. Each single SK-type spiral blade 221 further includes a left-handed part and a right-handed part, and the left-handed part and the right-handed part are arranged alternately and staggeredly by 90° inside the pipeline body 1, and multiple SK-type spiral blades 221 are connected end to end alternately. When the produced fluid from the oil well flows through the SK-type spiral blades 221, it will be continuously cut by the SK-type spiral blades. At the same time, due to the certain torsion angle of the SK-type spiral blades 221, the flow direction of the produced fluid from the oil well is forced to change continuously, generating convection and vortex motions. This continuous change in the fluid direction and the cutting action of the internal structure cause the divided produced fluid from the oil well to converge between two SK-type spiral blades 221, thereby realizing the uniform mixing of the produced fluid from the oil well. It is easy to understand that within a certain range, the more the number of SK-type spiral blades 221, the better the mixing effect of the produced fluid from the oil well. In addition, the specific structure of the SK-type spiral blades 221 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail here.
