[0002] The protector is an important component of the submersible electric pump, and it balances the pressure in and outside the motor, bears the axial force of the centrifugal pump, and connects the motor and the separator to transmit power for the centrifugal pump during the operation of the submersible electric pump.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related utility model, and not limit the utility model. In addition, it should be noted that only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings for ease of description.
[0024] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
[0025] The utility model provides a high temperature high bearing submersible electric pump protector.
[0026] As Figure 1 The utility model discloses a high temperature high bearing submersible electric pump protector's structure schematic diagram, and the protector is sequentially provided with high pressure mechanical seal 1, righting bearing 2, capsule cavity 3, first sediment cavity 41, second sediment cavity 42, thrust bearing 5, filter cavity 6 from front to back.
[0027] Among them, high pressure mechanical seal 1 is located at the foremost end of the protector, and separates the inside of the protector from the outside liquid.
[0028] Righting bearing 2 guarantees the stable posture of output shaft operation.
[0029] Capsule cavity 3 absorbs or releases the volume change of motor oil caused by temperature change by breathing, using its own expansion and contraction, balances the pressure between the motor inside and the wellbore, and eliminates the pressure difference around the motor shaft seal.
[0030] First sediment cavity 41 and second sediment cavity 42 can accommodate the permeated liquid in layers when well fluid leakage occurs, to give the downhole motor sufficient service life.
[0031] Thrust bearing 5 mainly bears axial load, as Figure 2 It is the structure schematic diagram of thrust bearing static block 8 and tiltable shoe block 9, Figure 3 It is the structure schematic diagram of thrust bearing dynamic block 7.
[0032] Tiltable shoe block 9 is provided with polycrystalline diamond coating 91 on the dynamic contact surface, and thrust bearing dynamic block 7 is provided with polycrystalline diamond coating 71 on the dynamic contact surface.
[0033] Polycrystalline diamond coating is a new material with high hardness, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. At present, it has been widely used in the field of cutters and dies.
[0034] Filter cavity 6 can filter some impurities and friction debris, etc., to avoid its direct entry into the motor, causing the performance of the motor to decline or be damaged.
[0035] In summary, the high-temperature high-bearing capacity submersible electric pump protector can bear large axial load, high temperature and high pressure. When operating in the well, the high-pressure mechanical seal 1 isolates the axial fluid, the sealing effect under high pressure is improved by increasing the sealing pressure grade; the journal bearing 2 provides radial support for the shaft to maintain stable operation of the mechanical seal; the capsule cavity 3 realizes the isolation of motor oil and well fluid, and breathes with the outside world through the check valve to maintain the balance of internal and external pressure; the settling cavity 41 and the settling cavity 42 mainly settle some solid particles and delay the failure time; the thrust bearing 5 provides axial force bearing and stability adjustment of the shaft; the filter cavity 6 filters some impurities and friction debris, etc., to avoid direct entry into the motor.
[0036] The thrust bearing moving block 7 rotates at high speed, and the rotating speed is about 3000r / min, the thrust bearing static block 8 remains stationary, and the tiltable shoe block 9 generates high-speed friction between the thrust bearing moving block 7, since the poly crystalline diamond material coating is adopted in the utility model, the friction coefficient is low, the heat production is small, in addition, the temperature resistance grade of the material is higher, which can reach 750 DEG C, and the downhole operation environment demand can be completely met.
[0037] The flexibility of the tiltable shoe block 9 can adjust the state of the shaft and improve the stability.
[0038] In addition, the high chemical stability, chemical corrosion resistance, anti-bonding characteristics, high wear resistance and good heat resistance of the poly crystalline diamond material are important guarantees for the stable operation of the protector of the utility model.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] In addition, it also needs to be explained that, in the description of the utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection" should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the communication between two elements.
