Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sucker rod technology, and in particular to a hollow sucker rod with internal anti-corrosion properties. Background Technology
[0002] Sucker rods are slender rods in oil wells. They connect to the polished rod at the top and the oil pump at the bottom, transmitting power. They are connected one by one inside the tubing with internal threaded clamps and extend to the piston at the underground oil layer. They pump oil through reciprocating motion. When extracting heavy oil, due to its high viscosity, it is difficult to flow. Generally, it is necessary to electrically heat the heavy oil to reduce its viscosity and increase its fluidity. However, existing sucker rods are generally only hollow rods. After long-term use, oil sludge easily accumulates inside the hollow sucker rod. The simple structure and lack of internal oil sludge cleaning structure make the sucker rod prone to reduced service life due to the inability to drain the accumulated oil sludge.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number: CN218206605U, which describes a carbon fiber hollow sucker rod. The sucker rod body includes a base layer, an anti-corrosion layer fixedly connected to the bottom of the base layer, a reinforcing layer fixedly connected to the top of the base layer, a protective layer fixedly connected to the top of the reinforcing layer, a first insulation layer, a second insulation layer fixedly connected to the top of the first insulation layer, and a weather-resistant layer fixedly connected to the top of the protective layer.
[0004] The cited patent documents also have the same problem: after long-term use, oil stains tend to accumulate inside the hollow sucker rod. The sucker rod with a simple structure that lacks a cleaning structure for the internal oil stains is prone to reduced service life because the accumulated oil stains cannot be discharged.

[0030] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0031] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.
[0032] This embodiment discloses, as follows: Figures 1 to 7 The diagram shows an internally corrosion-resistant hollow sucker rod, comprising a hollow sucker rod body 1, with connecting end sleeves 2 threaded to both ends of the hollow sucker rod body 1. Depending on the actual usage requirements of the sucker rod, a polished rod is connected at the top and a sucker pump at the bottom. A branch cleaning pipe 3 is connected through the outer periphery of the hollow sucker rod body 1. A first removable top cover 4 is detachably provided at the top of the branch cleaning pipe 3. The branch cleaning pipe 3 and the first removable top cover 4 are connected by threads, facilitating installation and disassembly.
[0033] Specifically, a replaceable cleaning sleeve 5 is detachably connected to the top of the branch cleaning pipe 3. A second detachable top cover 6 is threadedly connected to the top of the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5. A lifting inner sleeve 9 that can be lifted and lowered in the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5 is inserted into the second detachable top cover 6. Two cleaning steel wires 10 are symmetrically rotatably connected in the lifting inner sleeve 9. The free ends of the two cleaning steel wires 10 extend from the branch cleaning pipe 3 into the hollow sucker rod body 1. Both sides are provided with cleaning burr strips 17. The cleaning steel wires 10 drive the cleaning burr strips 17 to extend, retract and rotate in the hollow sucker rod body 1 to clean oil stains.
[0034] Specifically, the lifting inner sleeve 9 serves as the load-bearing and driving component for the cleaning wire 10. Its up-and-down movement controls the extension and retraction of the cleaning wire 10 within the sucker rod, thereby driving the deburring strip 17 to scrape away oil. The lifting inner sleeve 9 is connected to the second detachable top cover 6 via the second longitudinal insertion through-hole 12. Its top pull ring 11 facilitates manual lifting by the operator or mechanical up-and-down movement. The inner sleeve has an insertion cavity that connects to the cleaning wire 10, enabling control of the wire's rotation and extension.
[0035] Specifically, two cleaning wires 10 directly contact the inner wall of the sucker rod, and the cleaning deburring strips 17 on them scrape away oil stains, achieving effective cleaning of the internal oil stains. The cleaning wires 10 are connected to the sealed bearings 15 inside the lifting inner sleeve 9 through their top ends, ensuring smooth rotation and extension under the control of the inner sleeve. The two ends of the wires are fixed inside the lifting inner sleeve 9 and the hollow sucker rod body 1, respectively. Through the up-and-down movement and rotation of the inner sleeve, the cleaning deburring strips 17 are driven to scrape away oil stains.
[0036] Specifically, the cleaning deburring strip 17 extends, retracts, and rotates together with the cleaning wire 10. Its sharp edges effectively scrape away oil stains from the inner wall of the sucker rod, keeping the inner wall clean. The combined design of the deburring strip and the wire makes the cleaning operation more comprehensive and thorough, effectively dealing with the complex oil stains inside the sucker rod.
[0037] Specifically, the top of the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5 has a first longitudinal insertion through hole 8 for inserting the lifting inner sleeve 9, and the top outer wall of the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5 has an external thread 7 that is threaded to the second detachable top cover 6. The top surface of the second detachable top cover 6 has a second longitudinal insertion through hole 12 for inserting the lifting inner sleeve 9.
[0038] Specifically, the first longitudinal insertion hole 8 is located inside the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5, providing a space channel for vertical movement of the lifting inner sleeve 9. The first longitudinal insertion hole 8 matches the outer dimensions of the lifting inner sleeve 9, ensuring that the lifting inner sleeve 9 slides smoothly up and down inside the cleaning sleeve, thereby achieving extension control of the cleaning wire 10.
[0039] Specifically, the top of the lifting inner sleeve 9 is integrally connected to a top plate 16, and the outer walls on both sides of the top plate 16 are integrally connected to extension ear plates 14. Each extension ear plate 14 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 11 on its top surface. On both sides of the second longitudinal insertion through hole 12 and on the top surface of the second detachable top cover 6, there are mating grooves 13 for the extension ear plates 14 to be installed. The inner cavity of the lifting inner sleeve 9 is symmetrically provided with two insertion cavities for two cleaning wires 10 to be inserted. The end of the cleaning wire 10 away from the sealing bearing 15 extends in the lifting inner sleeve 9.
[0040] Specifically, the pull ring 11 is installed on the top of the lifting inner sleeve 9, providing a convenient gripping point for the operator to manually lift the inner sleeve for cleaning operations. The pull ring 11 is integrally connected with the lifting inner sleeve 9, and its design facilitates the application of external force. By pulling the inner sleeve manually or with auxiliary tools, the extension and rotation of the cleaning wire 10 can be achieved.
[0041] Specifically, the top plate 16 has two symmetrically embedded sealed bearings 15, with the tip of each cleaning wire 10 interference-fitted with the inner ring of the sealed bearing 15. The tight fit between the inner rings of the two sealed bearings 15 and the cleaning wires 10 allows the wires to rotate under the control of the inner sleeve, while the outer rings of the bearings are fixed to the inner wall of the inner sleeve, ensuring stability during rotation. The sealing design of the bearings prevents oil from entering the inner sleeve, protecting the internal structure from contamination.
[0042] Specifically, the hollow sucker rod body 1 comprises, from the outside to the inside, an alloy steel base layer 18, an internal insulation layer 19, a metal anti-corrosion coating 20, and a composite coating anti-corrosion layer 21. The hollow sucker rod body 1 uses alloy steel as the base material, whose excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance ensure long-term stable operation in complex downhole environments. The alloy steel base layer 18 uses high-strength, wear-resistant alloy steel as the main material to ensure the basic mechanical properties of the sucker rod. The internal insulation layer 19 is an internal insulation layer, such as fiberglass or aluminum silicate, set inside the base layer. The materials help maintain the internal temperature of the sucker rod, reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, and improve oil production efficiency; Metal anti-corrosion coating 20: Apply a layer of metal anti-corrosion coating, such as zinc, nickel, chromium, etc., outside the built-in insulation layer to enhance the corrosion resistance of the inner wall of the sucker rod and prevent the internal medium from corroding the alloy steel substrate; Composite coating anti-corrosion coating 21: Apply a layer of composite coating anti-corrosion coating outside the metal anti-corrosion coating. This coating is composed of high-performance resin, ceramic micro powder, nano additives, etc., forming a dense anti-corrosion barrier, further improving the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the inner wall of the sucker rod.
[0043] Working principle
[0044] When cleaning oil stains inside the hollow sucker rod body 1, the first removable top cover 4 is loosened, and the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5 is installed on the branch cleaning pipe 3. The inner sleeve 9 is then lifted and lowered using the hand-held pull ring 11, thereby raising and lowering both the inner sleeve 9 and the cleaning wires 10. The two cleaning wires 10 extend in opposite directions inside the hollow sucker rod body 1, causing the cleaning burr strip 17 to scrape away oil stains. The cleaning wires 10 are connected at their top ends to the sealed bearing 15 inside the inner sleeve 9, ensuring smooth rotation and extension under the control of the inner sleeve. The two ends of the wires are fixed to the inner sleeve 9 and the sucker rod body 1, respectively. The up-and-down movement and rotation of the inner sleeve cause the cleaning burr strip 17 to scrape away oil stains.
[0045] After cleaning, remove the cleaning wire 10, disassemble the replaceable cleaning sleeve 5, and reset the first removable top cover 4 onto the branch cleaning pipe 3.
