Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil well pumps for production equipment in the petroleum industry, in particular to an anti-break cover for an oil well pump. Background Art
[0002] As a key piece of mechanical oil production equipment, the oil well pump plays a crucial role in oilfield development and production. With the continued advancement of oilfield development, pump plunger head fractures are a common occurrence, seriously impacting crude oil production. The upper valve caps used in oilfields primarily consist of an upper joint, a fluid outlet, an upper valve ball, and a ball seat. These caps are monolithic, with a hollow, four-petal plum blossom-shaped cross-section. The "petals" serve as flow channels, and the valve ball moves within the "core." During the pumping process, the internal valve ball moves randomly, causing contact and friction with the valve cap, and even collisions.
[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN209743138U discloses a device for preventing the plunger head of an oil well pump from breaking off. This device installs a valve ball in a valve body, and a liquid outlet joint with a liquid flow hole is specially connected to the upper part of the valve body. A partition is used to block the valve ball in the valve body below the liquid outlet joint, protecting the liquid outlet joint with the liquid flow hole from impact. However, this can cause the valve ball to frequently impact the partition, resulting in deformation and leakage of the valve ball. In severe cases, the valve ball can break the partition, causing the valve cover to break off.
[0004] A Chinese utility model patent with authorization publication number CN215927748U discloses a valve cover for a wellbore pump plunger head. The valve cover comprises an upper ball retainer and a lower ball seat spaced vertically within a main cylinder. The space between the upper ball retainer and the lower ball seat forms a movable inner cavity for the upper valve ball. While the structure is simple, the internal valve ball still frequently collides with other workpieces, causing deformation and a poor seal within the working environment.
[0005] In summary, in the prior art, there are frequent collisions and frictions between the valve body valve ball and the valve cover, which may cause the valve body to break or the valve ball to deform, thereby shortening the service life and causing problems of poor sealing. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model provides an anti-breakage cover for an oil pump, which can alleviate the problems in the prior art of the valve body being broken and poorly sealed due to collision and friction between the valve body and the valve ball.
[0007] In order to alleviate the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:
[0008] It includes a plunger head and a valve body, the plunger head and the valve body are connected, a protective mechanism is arranged between the valve body and the plunger head, the protective mechanism contains the spring lining, a movable inner cavity and a valve ball are arranged inside the valve body, the spring lining is arranged between the valve ball and the wall of the movable inner cavity, when liquid enters the valve body, the valve ball is protected by the protective mechanism and moves without contact with the wall of the movable inner cavity and the plunger head.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective mechanism also includes a valve seat and a limit rod. When the plunger head and the valve body are connected, the limit rod is placed horizontally in the movable inner cavity, the valve ball is sealed on the valve seat through hole, and one end of the spring liner is in contact with the valve seat and embedded in the movable inner cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, a liquid inlet hole is provided on the valve body, and the liquid inlet hole is located at the end of the protective mechanism facing away from the plunger head. When liquid is taken into the valve body, the valve ball moves in the inner ring of the spring lining, and the movable inner cavity is connected to the liquid inlet hole.
[0011] Furthermore, a positioning step is provided between the liquid inlet hole and the movable inner cavity, and the valve seat is clamped on the positioning step.
[0012] Furthermore, the plunger head is provided with a lower joint, the lower joint is threaded, and the plunger head is connected to one end of the valve body through the lower joint.
[0013] Furthermore, an inner screw hole is provided on the lower joint, and the inner screw hole passes through the outer wall of the lower joint in the radial direction.
[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the limiting rod are connected to the inner screw hole through threads, and the limiting rod separates the valve ball and the lower joint.
[0015] Furthermore, a connecting thread is provided at one end of the valve body close to the lower joint, the lower joint is inserted into the interior of the valve body through the connecting thread, and one end of the spring liner abuts against the lower joint.
[0016] Furthermore, the plunger head is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet holes, and the liquid outlet holes are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the plunger head in a circumferential direction.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the oil pump anti-break cover in this utility model are analyzed as follows:
[0019] The utility model discloses an anti-break cover for an oil pump, comprising a plunger head and a valve body, the plunger head and the valve body being connected, a protective mechanism being arranged between the valve body and the plunger head, a spring lining being arranged in the protective mechanism, a movable inner cavity and a valve ball being arranged inside the valve body, a spring lining being arranged between the valve ball and the wall of the movable inner cavity, and when liquid enters the valve body, the valve ball is protected by the protective mechanism and moves without contact with the wall of the movable inner cavity and the plunger head.
[0020] During the downstroke of the oil well pump, the valve ball moves in the movable cavity, and the protective mechanism on the plunger head contacts the valve ball, preventing the valve ball from getting stuck in the joint and unable to fall back. During the upstroke of the oil well pump or when it stops working, the valve ball blocks the interior of the valve body. The valve ball and the spring liner form a line contact at an arc angle, limiting the valve ball's radial movement along the valve body and contact with the inner wall of the valve body.
[0021] Through the protective mechanism and the spring bushing inside the protective mechanism, the valve ball does not directly contact the inner wall of the valve body and the plunger head, eliminating the impact force of the valve ball on the valve body, avoiding stress concentration and deformation of the valve ball, and solving the problems of valve body breakage and poor sealing due to collision and friction with the valve ball; at the same time, the vibration generated when the valve ball contacts the spring lining can effectively eliminate the sand wax adhering to the valve ball.

The protective mechanism 300 provided on the plunger head 100 contacts the valve ball 210, preventing the valve ball 210 from becoming stuck in the joint of the plunger head 100 and being unable to fall back. During the upstroke or shutdown of the oil well pump, the valve ball 210 blocks the internal pipe opening of the valve body 200. The valve ball 210 and the spring liner 310 form a linear contact at an arc angle, limiting the valve ball 210 from moving radially along the valve body 200 and contacting the inner wall of the valve body 200.
