Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plunger pump, concretely to a plunger pump piston packing leakage alarm device for oilfield water injection. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, there are four main methods to monitor the plunger pump packing leakage: first, unattended water injection station mainly relies on camera manual monitoring, which cannot see the piston movement, water leakage and drainage condition in the plunger pump box; second, when manually inspecting, it is difficult to judge by the (60-150) drop / min standard to observe the plunger packing water drop or water leakage, which cannot be clearly seen through the drainage pipe into the drainage ditch; third, it is difficult to monitor the plunger pump outlet pressure and displacement by PCS, which changes slightly in the initial stage of plunger packing leakage; fourth, it is also difficult to achieve the monitoring purpose by monitoring the liquid level of the pump plunger pool when the packing leakage water level rises rapidly and the leakage occurs instantly. The above methods are found in the middle and after control, and cannot achieve the pre-control. In view of these deficiencies, an improved technical scheme is proposed.

[0003] Publication No.: CN218151361U discloses a plunger pump packing leakage detection device, which comprises a water collecting tank, a float ball switch connected to the water collecting tank, and a PLC control system connected to the float ball switch. The float ball switch comprises a sensing guide rod, which extends vertically downward in the water collecting tank, and a protective cover is arranged outside the sensing guide rod. An upper float ball, a middle float ball and a lower float ball are sequentially arranged from top to bottom outside the sensing guide rod. The upper float ball, the middle float ball and the lower float ball make fixed stroke rising and falling on the sensing guide rod. The upper float ball, the middle float ball and the lower float ball correspond to the high liquid level, the middle liquid level and the low liquid level of the liquid in the water collecting tank respectively.

[0004] The technical scheme is to connect the float ball switch with the PLC control system to judge the leakage condition. The patent does not have the functions of early warning, early maintenance and quantitative monitoring.

When the plunger pump does not leak, the light beam receiving device can continuously receive the light beam signal emitted by the light beam emitting device. When the plunger pump leaks, the leaked liquid will block the transmission of the light beam signal, so that the light beam receiving device cannot receive the light beam signal. The light beam receiving device generates an electric signal according to the reception of the light beam signal and transmits it to the controller. The controller receives and controls the alarm device based on the electric signal, so that the staff can know the sealing failure of the sealing packing.

The wear evaluation system comprises a test plunger pump, an overflow valve, a measurement pressure gauge, a calibration pressure gauge, a flow meter, a thermometer and a flange plate. Compared with the prior art, the flow, temperature and pressure of the hydraulic system pipeline are collected by the present application to judge the wear degree and remaining service life of the test plunger pump, and make a spare part plan accordingly. Meanwhile, the differences in wear degree and deterioration speed of each pump can be compared to further investigate the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of different hydraulic pumps, and provide data for system improvement and optimization.
