Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centralizers, in particular to a sucker rod centralizer. Background Art

[0002] A sucker rod centralizer is a downhole tool used to prevent eccentric wear in pumping wells. It is primarily suitable for wells with eccentric wear, particularly wells with eccentric wear above the sucker rod neutral point and directional inclined wells. Its function is to reduce friction between the sucker rod and tubing, thereby extending the pumping unit's production life.

[0003] Chinese patent CN219953268U provides a sucker rod centralizer, comprising a centralizer body formed by two interlocking arc-shaped structures, with cooperating slots and inserts provided on adjacent sidewalls of the arc-shaped structures, wear rings provided on both sides of the outer surface of the centralizer body, a clamp provided between the wear rings, the clamp having an outer diameter smaller than that of the wear rings, a vacuum chamber provided in the middle of the inner side of the centralizer body, sealing portions provided on both sides of the vacuum chamber, the sealing portions corresponding to the clamps, and an air extraction hole provided on the sealing portion along the axial direction of the centralizer body, with a plug provided in the air extraction hole. The sucker rod centralizer provided by the utility model utilizes the air extraction hole to draw a vacuum into the vacuum chamber. The negative pressure within the vacuum chamber causes the centralizer body to be tightly attached to the sidewalls of the sucker rod, effectively increasing the overall compression and holding force of the centralizer after interlocking, improving the clamping stability of the centralizer, and preventing wear on the inner wall of the centralizer that could cause the centralizer to slip from the outside of the sucker rod.

[0004] The above patent generally adopts an integrated design. When the centralizer body is worn out and fails after long-term use, the entire centralizer needs to be replaced, resulting in material waste. Therefore, in view of the above situation, it is urgent to develop a sucker rod centralizer with a split design that can replace the outer wear-resistant sleeve separately to save materials, so as to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a sucker rod centralizer to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A sucker rod centralizer comprises an inner shell, a wear-resistant sleeve and a clamping mechanism, wherein two wear-resistant sleeves are detachably mounted on the outer side of the inner shell, two clamping strips are fixed on the inner side of the wear-resistant sleeves, and a clamping groove for clamping the clamping strips is provided on the inner shell. The two wear-resistant sleeves are fixed to the outer side of the inner shell by a clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism comprises: a first semicircular ring, a second semicircular ring, a pin shaft, a fastening bolt and a nut, the left ends of the first semicircular ring and the second semicircular ring are rotatably connected by a pin shaft, and the right ends of the first semicircular ring and the second semicircular ring are fixed by a fastening bolt and a nut.

[0008] Preferably, the wear-resistant sleeve is made of polyurethane material.

[0009] Preferably, the wear-resistant sleeve is provided with an installation groove for installing a pressing mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of plug-in rods are fixed on one of the wear-resistant sleeves, and a plurality of plug-in holes for inserting the plug-in rods are provided on the other wear-resistant sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, an internal thread is provided on the inner side of the inner shell.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the sucker rod centralizer secures two wear-resistant sleeves to the outside of the inner housing via a clamping mechanism, which is then mounted on the sucker rod. When the wear-resistant sleeves become worn after prolonged use, the fastening bolts and nuts are removed, the first and second semicircular rings are separated, and the two wear-resistant sleeves are then removed from the inner housing for replacement. In summary, the present invention adopts a split design, allowing the outer wear-resistant sleeve to be replaced separately, saving materials. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
