Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of well-used submersible motors, and in particular relates to a speed measuring device for well-used submersible motors. Background Art
[0002] Submersible well motors are typically installed in deep wells with submersible well pumps to extract water. Both the motor and pump are submerged in water. Cooling water is filled inside the motor to ensure internal heat dissipation and lubrication of the sliding bearings. Currently, to precisely control the pump, submersible motors are typically driven by a frequency converter (VFD). To improve control accuracy, real-time motor speed monitoring is required to implement variable-frequency closed-loop control. Factory performance testing also requires accurate motor speed readings. Because both the motor and pump are submerged in water, photoelectric tachometers are ineffective. While encoders can accurately measure motor speed, they are generally not waterproof and are unsuitable for use in water with even a modicum of pressure. Utility Model Content

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0013] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the present utility model.
[0014] Markings in the figure: 1 is the motor housing, 2 is the thrust bearing seat, 3 is the first thrust bearing, 4 is the rotor shaft, 5 is the rotor permanent magnet, 6 is the encoder fixing base, 7 is the encoder, 8 is the second thrust bearing, 9 is the speed measuring permanent magnet, 10 is the coupling, 11 is the sealing sleeve, and 12 is the gasket. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] As shown in the accompanying drawings, this embodiment provides a submersible motor speed measuring device for a well, including a thrust bearing seat 2 connected to the bottom of the motor housing 1, and the thrust bearing seat 2 is fixed to the motor housing 1 by screws and nuts.
[0016] The upper side of the thrust bearing seat 2 is connected to the first thrust bearing 3. Since the first thrust bearing 3 is to be used in water and to withstand a certain axial force, a thrust sliding bearing with better strength is used.
[0017] The middle rotating part of the first thrust bearing 3 is connected to the rotor shaft 4. The rotor permanent magnet 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotor shaft 4. A washer 12 is provided between the first thrust bearing 3 and the rotor permanent magnet 5 to play a buffering role. The washer 12 is sleeved on the outside of the rotor shaft 4.
[0018] The bottom of the thrust bearing housing 2 is connected to an encoder mounting base 6. An opening is provided in the center of the thrust bearing housing 2, corresponding to the rotor permanent magnet 5. The rotor permanent magnet 5 extends from this opening. Because submersible motors of varying powers have different rotor shafts 4, the length and thickness of the rotor permanent magnet 5 may vary. Therefore, the opening facilitates processing and adaption to submersible motors of varying powers.
[0019] In order to ensure that no water can enter the encoder fixing base 6, a sealing sleeve 11 is provided at the opening of the thrust bearing seat 2 to separate the interior of the thrust bearing seat 2 from the interior of the encoder fixing base 6, ensuring that water inside the motor does not flow into the area where the encoder 7 is located.
[0020] An encoder 7 is provided at the bottom of the encoder fixed base 6 for measuring the speed of the submersible motor. A second thrust bearing 8 is provided in the middle of the encoder fixed base 6. The second thrust bearing 8 is in an air environment and does not need to bear axial force, so a thrust ball bearing with lower friction loss is used.
[0021] A speed measuring permanent magnet 9 is provided on the top of the second thrust bearing 8. The speed measuring permanent magnet 9 and the rotor permanent magnet 5 are arranged opposite to each other with different poles. The speed measuring permanent magnet 9 is connected to the encoder 7 through a coupling 10. The speed measuring permanent magnet 9 cooperates with the rotor permanent magnet 5.
[0022] The speed measuring permanent magnet 9 rotates at the same speed as the rotor permanent magnet 5 and drives the encoder 7 to rotate, thereby measuring the real-time speed of the motor.
[0023] It can be understood that the above specific description of the present invention is only used to illustrate the present invention and is not limited to the technical solutions described in the implementation methods of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents to achieve the same technical effects; as long as the use requirements are met, they are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
