Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil pumping unit technology, specifically a multi-functional mobile protective cover for the crank of an oil pumping unit. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the function of pumping unit crank guards is to isolate the crank from the outside environment, preventing personnel from directly contacting the moving crank and ensuring the personal safety of on-site workers. There are four main types of pumping unit crank guards: wrought iron railings fixed to the well platform, cement pillar railings, metal structure guards welded to the pumping unit's I-beams, and non-metal structure guards. These guards share the common characteristic of being fixed by methods such as deep embedding in the well platform in conjunction with the pumping unit foundation, welding, and threaded connections to the pumping unit's I-beams.

[0003] The most commonly used protective covers in oil fields are non-metallic structures, which are fixed by welding angle iron to the I-beam chassis of the pumping unit, and then bolting the non-metallic protective cover to the angle iron. This method has several drawbacks: First, since non-metallic protective covers are required for both new well commissioning and well opening operations, hot work is necessary, requiring electric welding to connect the angle irons. This process takes 2-3 hours depending on environmental conditions, significantly impacting oil production efficiency and increasing labor intensity. Second, non-metallic protective covers are easily damaged or blown away by strong winds and storm surges, posing a serious safety hazard. Third, the bolted connection between the non-metallic protective cover and the pumping unit's I-beam chassis, with the bolts threaded through holes for secure fastening, often results in breakage and detachment at the connection holes due to prolonged exposure to wind and sun, leading to frequent replacements, high costs, and time-consuming and labor-intensive unloading and tightening of bolts due to rust. Fourth, because the connections of the non-metallic protective covers are rigid, disassembly and reinstallation are difficult, causing inconvenience to operations, maintenance, equipment upkeep, adjustments, and well opening, increasing non-value-added workload and safety and environmental risks associated with disassembling and assembling the non-metallic protective covers. Fifth, in various maintenance and upkeep processes of pumping units, due to the single function of the protective covers, disassembly and reassembly of the non-metallic protective covers are often required, taking approximately 60% of the total time, amounting to 1 to 2 hours, reducing work efficiency and prolonging well downtime.

[0004] Announcement No. CN206093476U discloses a semi-enclosed fiberglass pumping unit protective cover, including a motor cover body and two crank cover bodies. The two crank cover bodies are connected by multiple sets of connecting components. The arched side plates of the two crank cover bodies are located on the outer side. The connecting components include two crank cover fixing tubes and crank cover fixing rods. The two crank cover fixing tubes are respectively fixed to the outer side of the bottom plate of the two crank cover bodies. The crank cover fixing rods are inserted into the two crank cover fixing tubes. The two ends of the crank cover fixing rods protrude from the edges of the crank cover fixing tubes and are fixed by pins.

[0005] This technical solution involves fixing two crank guard fixing tubes to the outer side of the base plate of each crank guard body. The installation method of this prior art differs from that of this patent.

[0006] Announcement No. CN205778764U discloses a novel crank motor guard for an oil pumping unit, comprising a crank guard and a motor guard. The crank guard frame is a semi-circular crank guard frame welded from angle iron, with a first reinforcing rib inside the crank guard frame. A first steel mesh is laid flat inside the crank guard frame, and a warning sign is installed at the upper center inside the crank guard frame. The motor guard frame is an arc-shaped motor guard frame welded from angle iron, with a second reinforcing rib inside the motor guard frame. A second steel mesh is laid flat inside the motor guard frame.

[0007] The technical solution uses a semi-circular crankshaft guard frame welded from angle iron. The installation method of this prior art differs from that of this patent.

[0008] Announcement No. CN203488153U discloses a molded spliced ​​oil pump protective cover, which is composed of a right side cover and a left side cover connected together. The vertical surfaces of the left side cover and the right side cover are respectively provided with multiple sets of air holes. The bottom of the left side cover and the right side cover are provided with drainage grooves and supports. The back of the left side cover and the right side cover are provided with mesh reinforcing ribs. The front of the left side cover and the right side cover are provided with pultruded crossbeams.

[0009] This technical solution involves modular molding and assembly. The installation method of existing technologies differs from that of this patent.

[0010] In summary, the technical solutions, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the above-disclosed technologies are all different from those of this utility model. For more technical features, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of this utility model, the above-disclosed technical documents do not provide any technical inspiration.

The bottom adjusting cylinder can quickly raise and lower the positioning and support its protective cover to maintain balanced force and prevent deformation. The locking ring and nut positioning prevent left and right movement and deviation, achieving the purpose of no welding, no harmful joints and no deformation.

[0045] 5. This utility model changes the main material structure, adopting a 316L stainless steel pipe metal structure (round pipe with a diameter of 20mm and a wall thickness of about 1.2mm). The iron railings made from this structure are unobstructed during inspections, making the inspection process more visible; corrosion resistance prevents rusting, extends the service life by 6 years, reduces maintenance costs, is unaffected by storm surges, and reduces non-metallic solid waste; high strength prevents deformation and makes the structure lightweight, ensuring long-term stability of its protective function and quick assembly and disassembly.

[0046] 6. This utility model adds multiple protective cover functions. The platform part hanging on the footplate rib outside the metal boat-shaped protective cover; when the pumping unit is running, it faces vertically downwards, playing a blocking and protective role; when shutting down the well, it can be flipped up and placed horizontally on top, serving as an operating platform; the ladder part set at either end can be flipped down to the well platform ground when shutting down the well, allowing operators to safely and quickly climb onto the operating platform, where they can safely and quickly perform various pumping unit maintenance operations, shortening the time by 0.5 hours compared to the original operation.

[0077] Example 4:

[0078] Based on Example 3, this example provides a method for using a movable protective cover for a pumping unit crank, including the following steps:

[0079] The front base pipe 1 is fixed, supported, and raised / lowered using a hook method. When the front base pipe 1 is not horizontal, the height is improper, or the hook is loose, the front base pipe 1 is raised / lowered using the front adjusting cylinder 3 to make it horizontal and the height appropriate. The front top screw 4 is tightened forcefully to make the front locking hook 5 securely lock the pumping unit I-beam 37. The bottom adjusting cylinder 19 is used to raise / lower the support cross brace 17, inner arc pipe 8, and outer arc pipe 16 to make the inner tie rod 14, outer tie rod 15, front moving through pipe 7, and rear moving through pipe 24 bear forces evenly and keep them horizontal and undeformed.

[0080] Loosen the front locking ring 6 and the rear locking ring 25, push the exposed inner pipe sections of the front base pipe 1 and the rear base pipe 30 into the outer pipe, and then tighten the front locking ring 6 and the rear locking ring 25 to shorten the front base pipe 1 and the rear base pipe 30 to make room and achieve the purpose of not affecting the construction operation.

[0081] Move the protective cover frame, remove the front nut 12 and the rear nut 23, loosen the front locking ring 6 and the rear locking ring 25, pull out the exposed pipe sections of the front base pipe 1 and the rear base pipe 30 to install the protective cover, pass the exposed pipe sections of the front base pipe 1 and the rear base pipe 30 through the front moving pipe 7 and the rear moving pipe 24, tighten the front locking ring 6 and the rear locking ring 25, and then install the front nut 12 and the rear nut 23 on the outer end pipe head to prevent the front moving pipe 7 and the rear moving pipe 24 from coming out.

[0082] After climbing over one end of the ladder (ladder 13) to the well platform, the ladder is lowered to the ground. Then, it is climbed over the guardrail frame (22) and pressed onto the inner tie rod (14) to form a well-stopping operation platform. Operators can climb up the ladder to the operation platform to perform various operations, such as maintaining the crank pin assembly bearings, tightening the crank pins, adjusting the balance, replacing belts, brakes, changing the lubricating oil in the gearbox, and tightening the gearbox bolts.

[0083] The guardrail frame 22 is attached to the outer arc pipe 16, covering more than half of the semi-arc side area, serving as a protective cover. The ladder is then climbed up, and its ladder support 13 presses on the inner tie rod 14 and the outer tie rod 15, freeing up the ground space of the well platform.

[0084] Example 5:

[0085] Based on Example 1, the main body of this protective cover is made of metal. The metal pipes from the front base pipe 1 to the rear base pipe 30 are primarily made of 316L stainless steel (round pipes approximately 20mm in diameter and 1.2mm in wall thickness). The coastal environment has high salt content and humidity, and is frequently corroded by seawater droplets, exhibiting strong corrosiveness. 316L stainless steel is an ultra-low carbon type, possessing strong resistance to high-salt environments containing chloride ions. It effectively resists the harsh corrosive conditions of coastal areas, preventing the railing from rusting over long periods and ensuring the long-term stability of its protective function. Its strength meets the requirements for the railing to withstand certain pressures, resisting impacts from sand and gravel carried by sea winds, as well as the weight and collisions that may occur during daily operations. Simultaneously, by rationally selecting the pipe diameter and wall thickness, relative lightweight is achieved while ensuring strength, facilitating installation and transportation, and avoiding excessive additional load on the pumping unit. The bolts, including the front set screw 4, bottom adjusting cylinder 19, and rear set screw 27, are made of 304 stainless steel, which has good rust resistance. The nuts have an anti-slip locking design. Through special thread structure or increased friction, the bolts are effectively prevented from loosening. They are suitable for connecting oil pumping unit components with high requirements for anti-loosening.

[0086] Due to storm surge, a weld point on the pumping unit cover of a certain well cracked, requiring hot work. Since the well is located inside a chemical plant, hot work permits needed to be obtained from the plant, which was time-consuming and cumbersome. To address this, a movable support frame was installed, allowing for single-person installation, saving time and effort, and ensuring simple and safe operation. The application of the movable protective cover shortened installation time, reduced labor intensity, and improved oil production efficiency. On average, the disassembly and assembly time is reduced by 2 hours per operation. Based on the calculation that each well requires protective cover adjustment and installation once a year, this translates to an annual increase in benefits of 0.2 million yuan.
