DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel automatic crude oil sampling device, which includes a housing 1. In this embodiment, a sampling chamber 11 is disposed within the housing 1, and a first oil inlet pipe 41 and an oil outlet pipe 42 are disposed on the sidewalls of the sampling chamber 11. The outlet end of the first oil inlet pipe 41 is sequentially connected to a power unit, a first pressure transmitter 6, a water content meter 71, a density meter 72, and a first temperature transmitter 73. The other end of the temperature transmitter is connected to the oil outlet pipe 42. The oil inlet end of the first oil inlet pipe 41 is sequentially connected to a filter 76, a second temperature transmitter 77, a second pressure transmitter 78, and a flow meter.

[0026] The power unit in this embodiment includes a first sampling pump 51 and a second sampling pump 52. The first oil inlet pipe 41 is connected to both the oil inlet of the first sampling pump 51 and the oil inlet of the second sampling pump 52. The oil outlet of the first sampling pump 51 is connected to the water content meter 71 and the first pressure transmitter 6, respectively. The oil outlet of the second sampling pump 52 is connected to the first pressure transmitter 6. This embodiment employs a dual sampling pump design, which allows the second sampling pump to continue operating even if one sampling pump stops operating due to a malfunction or maintenance requirement, ensuring a continuous sampling process and preventing data loss or inaccuracy due to a single point of failure.

[0027] The flow metering device in this embodiment includes a first flowmeter 74 and a second flowmeter 75, both of which are connected to a second pressure transmitter 78. The second oil inlet pipe 43 is connected to the other ends of both the first and second flowmeters 74 and 75. Because crude oil flow rates vary significantly within the crude oil pipeline, the measurement range of a single flowmeter may be insufficient to cover these flow variations. Therefore, the first and second flowmeters 74 and 75 are connected in parallel to calculate the oil flow rate at the oil inlet through superposition. In this embodiment, the second oil inlet pipe 43 and the oil outlet pipe 42 are evenly connected to the oil pipeline to be tested, thus avoiding oil loss caused by testing.

[0028] The filter 76 in this embodiment is a basket filter 76. Using a wire mesh or other microporous structure, it can selectively block particles of a specific size, reducing the impact of impurities on the crude oil temperature, water content, and oil density after entering the tank 1. The densitometer 72 is a high-precision Coriolis densitometer 72. Since even small differences in crude oil water content can directly affect its quality, the use of a high-precision Coriolis densitometer 72 can provide highly accurate density measurements and ensure data accuracy and reliability. The second temperature transmitter 77 is a manifold temperature transmitter, and the second pressure transmitter 78 is a manifold pressure transmitter. Since both the second temperature transmitter 77 and the second pressure transmitter 78 are connected to the oil pipeline, there may be real-time changes in oil temperature and pressure within the pipeline. Using the manifold pressure transmitter and the manifold temperature transmitter allows for real-time monitoring of pressure changes within the pipeline.

[0029] In this embodiment, the control chamber 12 is arranged in the box body 1, and the controller 8 is arranged in the control chamber 12. The controller 8 is electrically connected to the power device, the first pressure transmitter 6, the water content meter 71, the density meter 72, the first temperature transmitter 73, the filter 76, the second temperature transmitter 77, the second pressure transmitter 78 and the flow metering device respectively.

[0030] This design enables real-time online collection of the oil product density, water content, flow rate, pressure, and temperature in this embodiment, and automatic calculation of the transfer oil volume in accordance with GB / T 9109.1-2016 "Dynamic Measurement of Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products Part 1: General Principles" and GB / T 9109.5-2017 "Dynamic Measurement of Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products Part 5: Oil Quantity Calculation" standards;

[0031] When the device's measurement sensor uncertainty reaches: better than ±0.1% for oil moisture content of 0-1%; better than ±0.15% for oil moisture content of 1-3%; better than ±0.5% for oil moisture content of 3%-10%; and better than ±1% for oil moisture content greater than 10%. Density uncertainty is better than ±0.5kg / m³; temperature uncertainty is better than ±0.2°C; and pressure uncertainty is better than 1% of the pressure range. Controller 8 can automatically generate production alarms based on the alarm limits set by the host computer.

[0090] In this embodiment, a display screen 9 is disposed outside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 8. This embodiment uses the display screen 9 to display the detected crude oil water content, crude oil temperature, crude oil flow rate, and crude oil density, facilitating real-time monitoring by the operator. In this embodiment, the controller 8 is controlled by a PLC or microcomputer. These PLCs and microcomputers are conventional technologies and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first sealing door 2 is rotatably mounted on the sampling chamber 11, and the second sealing door 3 is rotatably mounted on the control chamber 12. The buffer layer 21 is fixedly mounted on the first sealing door 2. The buffer layer 21 is made of rubber material and is used to reduce the collision damage of the first sealing door 2 on the housing 1 when it is closed. The first magnet 211 is fixedly mounted in the buffer layer 21, and the second magnet 111 is mounted on the end of the sampling chamber 11 close to the first magnet 211. The magnetic properties of the first magnet 211 and the second magnet 111 are opposite, and the connection structure of the first sealing door 2 and the second sealing door 3 is the same. This embodiment adopts the attraction of the first magnet 211 and the second magnet 111, which not only realizes the sealing and closure of the first sealing door 2 relative to the sampling chamber 11, but also makes the first sealing door 2 relatively easy to open, making it convenient to observe and maintain the working condition of the sampling chamber 11.

[0092] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: the crude oil to be tested passes through the second oil inlet pipe 43, in sequence, through the flow meter, the second pressure transmitter 78, the second temperature transmitter 77, the filter 76, the power unit, the first pressure transmitter 6, the water content meter 71, the density meter 72, and the first temperature transmitter 73, and finally returns to the crude oil pipeline through the oil outlet pipe 42.
