Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil well pressure operation, in particular to a double-group induction coupling detection and alarm device. Background Art

[0002] During the pressurized operation of a gas well, due to the high pressure in the well, the wellhead device uses a gate blowout preventer to ensure the sealing during the process of lifting and lowering the oil pipe. When the coupling position is predicted, the gate blowout preventer is opened to allow the coupling to pass smoothly. If the coupling position cannot be accurately detected, the gate blowout preventer and the coupling are likely to wear, affecting the service life of the equipment. Once the coupling is stuck, it may even cause gas leakage and a blowout accident. Therefore, accurately detecting the position of the oil pipe coupling is very important for improving the work efficiency and safety of lifting and lowering the pipe string during the pressurized operation of the gas well.

[0003] Coupling detection devices can be categorized as mechanical or electromagnetic based on their detection principles. Mechanical methods are often based on roller contact, such as the technology patented with patent number 201010234477.8. This method utilizes the diameter difference between the coupling and the tubing body. This method can easily cause wear and tear on the equipment, reducing its service life. If the tubing is eccentric or bent, the roller may contact a signal not related to the coupling, resulting in a false alarm. Electromagnetic methods, based on eddy current theory, cause changes in magnetic flux when the coupling passes through a magnetic field, ultimately affecting the electromotive force at the detection coil. However, this method is affected by the transient instability of the external power supply and by on-site oil contamination and metal waste. Detection accuracy needs to be improved, and the system is complex and expensive. Currently, manual prediction of coupling position is still the primary method during on-site construction, resulting in a low level of automation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a double-group induction-type discharge detection and alarm device to solve the problems of low automation, poor anti-interference ability, low detection accuracy and equipment wear in the existing technology, and provide reliable coupling detection alarm signals and gate blowout preventer opening and closing instructions for intelligent pressure operation.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a double-group induction coupling detection alarm device, comprising:

[0006] The box body has a through hole for axial movement of the oil supply pipe;

[0007] The detection components are provided in two groups and are arranged along the axial direction of the box body. Each of the detection components includes at least two groups of sensor positioning devices evenly distributed along the circumference of the box body. The sensor positioning device includes a mounting shell provided in a groove on the box body and slidable along the radial direction of the box body, and a protective shell provided on the outside of the groove. An inductive analog sensor is provided in the mounting shell, a sealing ring is provided on the outside of the inductive analog sensor, an inner sealing end cover is provided on the outer end of the mounting shell, a support spring is provided on the outer side of the mounting shell, the outer end of the support spring is fixed to the end wall of the protective shell, an outer shell is further provided on the outer side of the protective shell, a displacement sensor is provided in the outer shell, a positioning gasket is provided on the outer side of the displacement sensor, and an outer sealing end cover is provided on the outer end of the outer shell;

[0008] The signal processing box is arranged on the box body and is electrically connected to the inductive analog sensor and the displacement sensor.

[0009] Furthermore, two sets of upper and lower anti-collision rollers are provided on the inwardly extending end of the mounting shell, and the width of the anti-collision rollers is greater than the width of the mounting shell.

[0010] Furthermore, a limit block is provided on the groove, and a sealing collar is provided between the limit block and the mounting shell.

[0011] Furthermore, an alarm light is provided in the signal processing box.

[0012] Furthermore, flanges are provided on the upper and lower sides of the box body.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer sealing end cover and the positioning gasket are provided with a circular hole for the data line to pass through.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the detection components includes three groups of sensor positioning devices.

[0015] Furthermore, the inductive analog sensor is connected to the mounting housing via threads.

[0016] Furthermore, a hidden winding groove is provided on the outer surface of the box.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the housing can be connected to other devices, the through holes on the housing allow the oil pipe to pass through, and the detection component detects the coupling of the oil pipe. The detection component is arranged in two groups along the axial direction of the housing, with multiple detection surfaces, and the instantaneous speed of the coupling can be calculated based on the time it takes for the coupling to reach the position of different detection components. Each detection component includes at least two groups of sensor positioning devices evenly distributed along the axial direction of the housing, so as to facilitate the detection of multiple surfaces of the coupling and improve the accuracy of the detection. The sensor positioning device includes a mounting shell and a protective shell. The mounting shell is used to install an inductive analog sensor for detecting the distance between the oil pipe, the coupling and the inductive analog sensor, and then transmits it to the signal processing box. The signal processing box uses the principle of three-point circle determination to calculate the accurate diameter of the detection surface with the multiple sets of data received to determine whether the oil pipe coupling has passed, thereby avoiding detection errors caused by reasons such as oil pipe deflection and improving detection accuracy. The sealing ring and the inner sealing end cover are both used to ensure the seal between the inductive analog sensor and the mounting shell. In its natural state, the support spring can provide displacement compensation for the sliding of the mounting housing. When the oil pipe is greatly bent in the housing, the oil pipe collides with the anti-collision roller, driving the mounting housing to move and compressing the support spring. At this time, the displacement sensor in the outer shell detects the movement distance of the oil pipe and transmits the data back to the signal processing box for processing. When the support spring restores its shape, the mounting housing can be reset.

[0018] In summary, the present invention can measure the instantaneous speed of the coupling during operation, calculate the accurate diameter of the detection surface through the three-point circle principle, convert the detected displacement signal into the diameter and center position of the coupling, and calculate the average speed of the coupling when passing through and the offset of the oil pipe relative to the center of the wellbore, thereby accurately detecting the coupling and finally controlling the closing of the blowout preventer rubber core through the signal processing box to realize the automation process of lifting and lowering the pipe string. In addition, by setting different support spring models, the adaptability of different types of oil pipes and wellbores can be improved, achieving the purpose of accurately detecting the coupling, reducing the workload of operators, reducing the wear of the blowout preventer rubber core, promoting the intelligent process of pressure-carrying operations, and having good economic benefits.

Preferably, flanges 101 are integrally connected to the housing 1 and conform to international standards, allowing installation above the wellhead square of an operating well. Furthermore, a hidden wire winding groove is provided on the outer surface of the housing 1 to facilitate securing the data cable 15.

[0027] The detection components are provided in two groups and are arranged along the axial direction of the housing 1. In this case, the device has multiple detection surfaces and can calculate the instantaneous speed of the coupling based on the time it takes for the coupling to reach the positions of different detection components. Each of the detection components includes at least two groups of sensor positioning devices 2 evenly distributed along the circumference of the housing 1, so as to facilitate the detection of multiple surfaces of the coupling and improve the detection accuracy. Preferably, each of the detection components includes three groups of sensor positioning devices 2.
