Abstract

[0002] There are various types of sucker rod centralizers currently in use in oil wells, and the following problems are common: the grooves of the centralizer body of existing centralizers are mostly straight grooves, which are easily worn on one side during the up and down sliding friction process, resulting in uneven wear of the centralizer body; the centralizer relies solely on the wear body to maintain its centralizing function. As the usage cycle increases, the centralizer body wears severely, has a short service life, and thus cannot effectively prevent uneven wear.
[0003] The prior art discloses a patent CN205577882U, which includes a center rod with threads on both ends of the center rod. A stabilizing sleeve is sleeved on the center rod, and a plurality of grooves are provided on the outer surface of the stabilizing sleeve. The grooves are distributed in a spiral shape, and a plurality of pairs of balls are provided in each groove. A spring washer is provided between each pair of balls to make the stabilizing body easier to rotate and ensure uniform wear of the stabilizing body.
[0004] As existing devices including the above patents are used, the shortcomings of the technology are gradually exposed, mainly in the following aspects:
[0005] First, the existing centralizers are prone to wear and failure as the balls are used, which requires replacement of the centralizer together, increasing maintenance costs.
[0006] Second, as the centralizer is used, the balls wear out, which increases the distance between adjacent balls. This causes the balls to collide easily during the lifting process of the sucker rod, further exacerbating the problem of wear and failure.
[0007] In summary, the existing technology has obvious inconveniences and defects in actual use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
[0008] In response to the defects in the existing technology, the utility model solves the problems in the traditional technology that the balls of the centralizer are prone to wear and failure during use, resulting in the need to replace the centralizer together, increasing maintenance costs; and the balls of the centralizer are prone to wear and failure during use, which increases the distance between adjacent balls, resulting in collisions between the balls during the lifting process of the sucker rod, thereby exacerbating the problem of wear and failure.
[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0010] The anti-bias wear ball-supported sucker rod includes a sucker rod, a fixed stabilizer is injection-molded on the sucker rod, a plurality of spirally arranged guide ribs are provided on the peripheral wall of the stabilizer, and a guide channel is formed through the area between adjacent guide ribs, each of the guide ribs is provided with a mounting groove, one end of the mounting groove is provided with a connected inlet and outlet channel, the mounting groove is filled with a plurality of balls through the inlet and outlet channels, and a closed structure for opening and closing the inlet and outlet channels is connected to the inlet and outlet channels.
[0011] As an optimized solution, a tensioning structure for tensioning a plurality of the balls is provided in the mounting groove.
[0012] As an optimized solution, the closing structure includes a threaded groove opened at the bottom of the inlet and outlet channel, and a limit pin is threadedly connected through the threaded groove.
[0013] As an optimized solution, the tensioning structure includes a compression spring, and the compression spring is arranged transversely inside along the extension direction of the installation slot.
[0014] As an optimized solution, one end of the compression spring abuts against the limit pin, and the other end frictionally abuts against the adjacent ball.
[0015] As an optimized solution, an arc-shaped seat is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring facing the ball, and the arc-shaped seat is in frictional contact with the ball.
[0016] As an optimized solution, the mounting groove is arranged in an arc shape along the axial cross-section direction.
[0017] As an optimized solution, the width of the mounting groove is smaller than the diameter of the ball.
[0018] As an optimized solution, the opening of the inlet and outlet channel is larger than the diameter of the ball.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0020] A connecting access channel is provided at one end of the mounting slot, and the access channel is detachably connected to a limit pin, so that when the ball bearings are worn, only part of the ball bearings need to be replaced without scrapping the entire bearing, thus reducing working costs and facilitating disassembly and assembly.
[0021] By arranging a compression spring in the installation groove, the compression spring is used to adaptively tension several balls in the installation groove, overcoming the phenomenon in traditional technology where the distance between adjacent balls is too large and they collide due to ball wear, thereby improving the stability of use.
