Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water content analyzers, in particular to a high-precision wellhead crude oil water content analyzer with automatic switching of double pipe sections. Background Art
[0002] Measuring the water content of crude oil is crucial for monitoring oil well production dynamics, optimizing reservoir production parameters, estimating crude oil production, achieving pressure transmission of crude oil production, improving oilfield recovery, and predicting the development life of oil wells. Currently, testing the water content of crude oil typically involves adding a section of pipe to the crude oil pipeline. A three-way ball valve switches the existing pipeline, using the additional section as the testing line. Multiple capacitive measurement probes are placed in this testing line to measure the water content of the crude oil. Heating the crude oil during the testing process further facilitates oil-water separation, enabling faster and more accurate water content testing.
[0003] Existing heating methods typically heat the outer wall of the detection pipeline, which conducts heat through the outer wall to heat the crude oil inside the pipeline, promoting oil-water separation. However, the disadvantage of this structure is that the heated outer wall of the pipeline easily causes impurities to adhere to the inside of the pipeline.
[0004] An existing Chinese patent with the announcement number CN211477819U discloses a crude oil water content measuring device, which relates to the field of detection equipment. The technical solution is as follows: it includes a main oil inlet pipe, a detection passage, a main passage and a main oil outlet pipe. The main oil inlet pipe and the main oil outlet pipe are respectively located at the two ends of the detection passage and the main passage. The main oil inlet pipe, the main oil outlet pipe and the connection between the detection passage and the main passage are respectively connected by a three-way ball valve. A measuring probe is arranged in the detection passage, and it also includes a heating assembly for heating the crude oil in the detection passage. The detection passage includes a vertically arranged detection tube. The upper and lower parts of the detection tube are respectively connected to the main oil inlet pipe and the main oil outlet pipe through a three-way ball valve to form a crude oil passage.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: the detection tube of the device forms a crude oil passage with the main oil inlet pipe and the main oil outlet pipe, so that the measuring probe will be in contact with the crude oil for a long time during use, resulting in wax sticking, which affects the detection accuracy and needs to be improved; therefore, to address the above problems, a high-precision wellhead crude oil water content analyzer with automatic switching of dual pipe sections is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model proposes a high-precision wellhead crude oil water content analyzer with automatic switching of dual pipe sections.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows: the high-precision wellhead crude oil water content analyzer with dual-section automatic switching described in the present invention comprises a detection pipeline, a liquid inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the detection pipeline, and a solenoid valve is installed on the liquid inlet pipe, a detection cylinder is fixedly connected to the surface of the liquid inlet pipe, a detection assembly is installed inside the detection cylinder, the detection assembly comprises an I-shaped sealing member and an electric push rod, a flow channel is opened at the center of the sealing member, the electric push rod is fixedly installed on the top of the detection cylinder, and the electric push rod is fixedly installed on the top of the detection cylinder. The driving end is fixedly connected to the seal, and a measuring probe and a heater are fixedly connected above the seal to connect the detection pipeline to the crude oil pipeline. Initially, the bottom end of the seal is pressed against the raised layer for sealing. During detection, the electric push rod extends to lower the seal, thereby opening the raised layer to allow the crude oil to enter the lower chamber. The crude oil level inside the lower chamber is detected by the liquid level sensor. When the liquid level is about two-thirds of the height of the lower chamber, the solenoid valve is controlled to close, and the heater is operated to heat the crude oil from the inside. After heating, detection is carried out through the measuring probe.
[0008] Preferably, sealing rings are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the sealing member respectively, and the sealing rings improve the sealing effect when the sealing member contacts the raised layer.
[0009] Preferably, a piston ring is installed inside the circulation channel, and the piston ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the liquid inlet pipe.
[0010] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is fixedly connected below the sealing member, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the solenoid valve.
[0011] Preferably, an annular raised layer is installed inside the detection cylinder, and the raised layer divides the interior of the detection cylinder into an upper chamber and a lower chamber.
[0012] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly connected to the inside of the raised layer, and a cleaning hole is opened on the surface of the scraper, and the cleaning hole is located directly below the measuring probe. After the measuring probe moves up and down, it passes through the cleaning hole, and then the scraper scrapes off the impurities adhered to the surface of the measuring probe, thereby realizing automatic cleaning and avoiding the occurrence of wax hanging phenomenon.
[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the cleaning hole is the same as the diameter of the measuring probe.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the detection cylinder is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 2, and the driving end of the electric push rod 2 is fixedly connected to a piston block. After the detection is completed, the electric push rod 1 descends again, so that the upper end of the seal rests against the raised layer to seal the upper chamber, thereby keeping the measuring probe in the upper chamber without contacting the crude oil when idle. The solenoid valve is opened and the electric push rod 2 is operated, and the piston block is driven to rise by the electric push rod 2 to push the crude oil in the lower chamber out.
[0015] The utility model is beneficial in that:
[0016] 1. The utility model opens the raised layer to allow crude oil to enter the interior of the lower chamber, detects the crude oil level inside the lower chamber through a liquid level sensor, operates the heater to heat the crude oil from the inside, and after heating, detects it through a measuring probe. The measuring probe moves up and down and passes through the cleaning hole, and then the scraper scrapes away impurities adhering to the surface of the measuring probe, thereby achieving automatic cleaning and avoiding the occurrence of wax hanging phenomenon.
