Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil pumping unit technology, and is a permanent magnet axial flux drive device for oil pumping units. Background Technology
[0002] Beam pumping units have advantages such as simple structure, high reliability, and convenient maintenance, and play a crucial role in the oil extraction industry. However, due to the driving characteristics of the beam pumping unit itself, it has disadvantages such as low transmission power factor, low efficiency (high power consumption), and small overload torque.
[0003] Traditional beam pumping units use an asynchronous motor, belt (pulley), and reducer to drive the connecting rod in a reciprocating motion for oil extraction. Asynchronous motors have the following drawbacks: unstable rotor quality; during aluminum casting, poor aluminum flow can occur, causing the aluminum bars in the rotor slots to break or thin, affecting performance; they are long, bulky, and heavy; their efficiency is relatively low due to the high resistivity of the cast aluminum rotor, especially under light loads; they have a low power factor, requiring more reactive power and additional reactive power compensation equipment; their starting performance is limited, with a large starting current but low starting torque; and their speed regulation performance is poor, with a limited speed range, making them unsuitable for applications requiring precise speed control. Using traditional asynchronous motors results in fixed-frequency starting, large starting current, low power factor, and significant reactive power losses.
[0004] Traditional beam pumping units employ a two-stage reduction drive. The conventional asynchronous motor's speed is first reduced by a pulley, then further reduced by a reducer to reach the speed required for the connecting rod's reciprocating motion. This two-stage reduction inherently leads to efficiency losses in the drive system. The efficiency of this mechanism is calculated as "asynchronous motor efficiency × belt transmission efficiency × reducer efficiency," resulting in significant transmission efficiency losses. Furthermore, prolonged belt wear and damage to the pulley wrap angle cause belt slippage and breakage, which also greatly reduces the pumping unit's system efficiency. Moreover, belts and pulleys used for extended periods require regular replacement, consuming substantial manpower and resources annually and posing significant safety hazards to oilfield production operations. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a permanent magnet axial flux drive device for oil pumping units, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and can effectively solve the problems of low efficiency and high safety hazards of existing asynchronous motor driven beam pumping units.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0018] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 , 2As shown, the permanent magnet axial flux drive device for the pumping unit includes a base 1 and a walking beam pumping unit. The walking beam pumping unit is installed on the upper left side of the base 1. The walking beam pumping unit includes a frame 18, a working head 19, a walking beam 20, a connecting rod 21, a crank 22, and a reducer 23. The frame 18 is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the base 1. The upper side of the frame 18 is hinged to the lower middle side of the walking beam 20. The working head 19 is fixedly installed on the left side of the walking beam 20. The connecting rod 21 is hinged to the lower side of the walking beam 20 corresponding to the right side of the frame 18. The lower end of the connecting rod 21 is hinged to the left end of the crank 22. The reducer 23 is fixedly installed on the upper rear side of the support base 2. The right end of the crank 22 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer 23. The permanent magnet axial flux drive device, which is fixedly installed on the outside, includes a support base 2, a protective shell 3, a drive shaft 4, a stator 5, a rotor 6, a coil 7, and a permanent magnet 8. The support base 2 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the base 1, and the protective shell 3 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the support base 2. The drive shaft 4 is located in the center of the protective shell 3. The front center of the drive shaft 4 has a through mounting hole 9. The input shaft of the reducer 23 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 9 on the outer front side. The stator 5 is fitted on the outer front side of the drive shaft 4. The rear end of the stator 5 is fixedly installed together with the front end of the protective shell 3. The coil 7 is located on the rear side of the stator 5. The rotor 6, which is fitted inside the protective shell 3, is fixedly installed on the outer rear side of the drive shaft 4. The permanent magnet 8 is located on the front side of the rotor 6.
[0019] According to the requirements, the stator 5 with coil 7 on the rear side and the rotor 6 with permanent magnet 8 on the front side in the permanent magnet axial flux drive device are both existing technologies, such as the rotor and stator described in the axial flux motor and stator disclosed in Chinese patent document CN114765388A, or the first stator and first rotor described in a dual magnetic circuit adjustable axial permanent magnet motor disclosed in Chinese patent document CN110676996A. The walking beam pumping unit is an existing technology.
[0020] In use, the permanent magnet axial flux drive device is electrically connected to the existing known frequency converter 24. The frequency converter 24 drives the drive shaft 4 of the permanent magnet axial flux drive device to rotate, and then the speed is reduced by the reducer 23 connected to the drive shaft 4. The output shaft of the reducer 23 drives the beam pumping unit to work to achieve the purpose of oil production. Compared with the traditional drive method of beam pumping unit, the permanent magnet axial flux drive device can improve efficiency and reduce starting current. Under the same size, the transmission mechanism of belt and pulley is eliminated, and the original two-stage reduction (pulley and reducer) is reduced to one-stage reduction (reducer), which improves transmission efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and avoids safety hazards.
[0021] Compared to traditional beam pumping units, this application replaces the original power distribution box with a frequency converter 24, which reduces starting current, decreases the capacity and cost of front-end switching equipment, and replaces the traditional asynchronous motor with an axial permanent magnet synchronous motor. This improves the motor's power factor from 0.8 to 0.95 or even higher, reducing reactive current in the power grid and increasing the overall grid efficiency at the well site. Within the same size and dimensions, the elimination of belts and pulleys reduces the transmission mechanism from two-stage to single-stage reduction, improving transmission efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and avoiding safety hazards. Compared with traditional beam pumping units, the permanent magnet axial flux drive device for pumping units of this application improves the motor power factor from 0.8 to 0.95, the efficiency from 90% to 95%, reduces the starting current from 7 times the rated current to 1.1 times the rated current, increases the starting torque from 1.5 times the rated torque to 2 times the rated torque, and increases the overload multiple from 1.6 times the rated torque to 2 times the rated torque. By replacing the traditional asynchronous motor with an axial permanent magnet synchronous motor, the overload torque of the drive shaft 4 can be improved, enabling it to cope with more complex working conditions.

[0024] According to the requirements, the inner front and inner rear sides of the fixed sleeve 10 are provided with limiting steps. The limiting step at the front and the limiting ring platform 13 can limit the bearing 11 at the front, and the limiting step at the rear and the limiting ring platform 14 can limit the bearing 11 at the rear. The setting of the bearing 11 can reduce the wear between the drive shaft 4 and the stator 5 when the drive shaft 4 rotates, and also facilitate maintenance.
