The main power source for realizing fracturing effect is high-pressure pump, and high-pressure pump can be said to be the heart of fracturing vehicle, which determines the quality of fracturing (cementing) vehicle. The packing assembly in the liquid end of high-pressure pump is the guarantee of providing effective sealing power, and determines the length of the continuous operation time of fracturing vehicle.

[0003] The local structure of pump liquid end is as shown in Figure 2 The service life of packing assembly is an important indicator of the performance of fracturing pump. With the improvement of fracturing process technology, the working environment of fracturing pump is extremely harsh: the working pressure is extremely high; the fracturing fluid contains a large amount of sand particles with extremely high hardness and other stains; and the fracturing fluid has high acidity, low viscosity and poor self-lubricity; the plunger moves at high speed, and in the working process, the liquid containing impurities first contacts the first ring, and the first ring bears high pressure and impurity scouring, at this time, it is both a sealing ring and a sand scraping ring; the wear and corrosion of the first ring are very serious.

[0029] The utility model will be further illustrated in combination with specific embodiments, and it should be understood that these embodiments are only used for illustrating the utility model and are not used for limiting the scope of the utility model, and after reading the utility model, various equivalent modifications of the utility model made by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to the present application.

[0030] As Figure 3 , 4As shown, a reciprocating self-lubricating primary ring comprises a bottom 1, an outer wall 2, a top end 3, a liquid storage groove 4, a sand scraping wall 5, and a plunger sealing surface 6, wherein:

[0031] The front end of the bottom 1 is provided with a bottom matching structure 1.1 matched with the contact surface of the pressure ring A3; the two sides of the bottom 1 are respectively provided with the outer wall 2 and the plunger sealing surface 6; the side of the outer wall 2 away from the bottom 1 is provided with the top end 3; the lower side of the top end 3 is provided with the liquid storage groove 4 for separating liquid and hard objects; the lower side of the liquid storage groove 4 and the plunger sealing surface 6 are provided with the sand scraping wall 5 for scraping the liquid containing hard objects into the liquid storage groove 4.

[0032] It should be noted that the bottom matching structure 1.1 comprises a semicircular arc protruding structure 1.1.1 and a slope surface 1.1.2; the semicircular arc protruding structure 1.1.1 is arranged at the top end of the bottom matching structure 1.1 and is used for matching and positioning with the contact surface of the pressure ring A3; the two slope surfaces 1.1.2 are respectively arranged at the two sides of the semicircular arc protruding structure 1.1.1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the slope angle of the two slope surfaces 1.1.2 is 120 degrees, and the height is 3mm; the height of the semicircular arc protruding structure 1.1.1 is 1.8mm.

[0034] It should be noted that the liquid storage groove 4 comprises a hard object separation groove 4.1, a liquid flow channel 4.2, and a liquid flow buffer area 4.3, wherein: the hard object separation groove 4.1 is an inwardly recessed structure and is used for separating liquid and hard objects. The liquid flow channel 4.2 is arranged between the hard object separation groove 4.1 and the sand scraping wall 5; the liquid flow buffer area 4.3 is arranged between the hard object separation groove 4.1 and the top end 3.

[0035] It should be further noted that, when in operation, the liquid storage groove 4 and the top cover A1 form a space, like a horizontally lying bottle with a small mouth and a large belly. When the liquid containing hard objects is pushed by the sand scraping wall 5, the liquid will enter the liquid flow buffer area 4.3 along the liquid flow channel 4.2. Due to the increase in space, the impact force of the liquid decreases, and heavy hard objects will be separated from light and small impurities. Under the back and forth washing of the liquid, the heavy hard objects will be delayed and will be washed into the hard object separation groove 4.1, achieving the purpose of hard object separation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the height of the hard object separation groove 4.1 is 2.5mm; the height of the liquid flow channel 4.2 is 2mm; and the height of the liquid flow buffer area 4.3 is 2mm.

[0037] It should be noted that the sand scraping wall 5 is a straight mouth structure; the straight mouth structure can be closely matched with the outer wall of the plunger A7, like a windshield wiper for a car, which plays a role in scraping sand to prevent quartz sand from entering between the self-lubricating primary ring B2 and the plunger A7.

[0038] Further, the sand scraping wall 5 and the outer wall of the plunger A7 are tightly matched to form a seamless scraping surface during operation, and the sand scraping wall 5 can scrape the liquid containing hard objects into the liquid storage groove 4 when the plunger A7 moves left and right. The working principle is the same as that of the windshield wiper on the front windshield of a car to scrape water and sundries on the glass.

[0039] In the embodiment, the length of the sand scraping wall 5 is 4 mm.

[0040] It should be noted that the plunger sealing surface 6 is outwardly convex arc-shaped structure. When the packing box A6 is tightened, the self-lubricating primary ring B2 is deformed, and the outer side is tightly attached to the straight mouth and cannot be deformed. Only the plunger sealing surface 6 on the inner side is arc-shaped, like the structure of a half O-shaped sealing ring, which is easy to deform under stress, so that the plunger sealing surface 6 is pressed inwardly and tightly attached to the plunger A7 to form a sealing surface.

[0041] In the embodiment, the radius of the plunger sealing surface 6 is 9 mm, and the height of the plunger sealing surface 6 is 11 mm.

[0042] It should be noted that the surfaces of the bottom 1, the liquid storage groove 4, the sand scraping wall 5, and the plunger sealing surface 6 are treated by fluorine coating process. Fluorine has the advantages of self-lubrication, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, which can reduce frictional heat generation and improve the self-lubrication and corrosion resistance of the self-lubricating primary ring B2. The fluorine-containing material solvent is sprayed on the part of the self-lubricating primary ring B2 in contact with the liquid and the dynamic sealing surface, and the spraying thickness is between 0.04 mm and 0.1 mm. The main purpose is to protect the liquid from corroding the rubber through the fluorine material, while reducing the friction coefficient between the self-lubricating primary ring B2 and the plunger A7, and improving the wear resistance of the self-lubricating primary ring B2.

[0043] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 In the prior art, the seat ring A5, the isolation ring A4, the pressure ring A3, and the primary ring A2 of the packing assembly are arranged in the order of Figure 2The sequence in the drawing is as follows: the top cover A1 is installed into the pump head body A8, the packing box A6 is connected with the pump head body A8, and then the plunger A7 is installed, so that an annular cavity is formed between the pump head body A8 and the plunger A7. The first ring A2 is compressed by rotating the packing box A6 to the depth, so that the outer wall of the first ring A2 is in contact with the packing box A6, and the inner wall is in close contact with the plunger A7, thereby forming a sealed space between the pump head body A8 and the plunger A7. During operation, the bottom 1, the outer wall 2 and the top end 3 of the first ring A2 are respectively in static sealing cooperation with other accessories; the liquid storage groove 4 of the first ring A2 is in contact with the corrosive liquid, and the plunger sealing surface 5 of the first ring A2 is in close contact with the plunger A7 and is deformed under pressure, so that a V-shaped groove is formed at the upper end of the contact surface, and it is easy to deposit hard objects such as quartz sand; and the plunger A7 makes rapid reciprocating motion on the sealing surface of the first ring A2, and the liquid with high hardness quartz sand is continuously subjected to high pressure washing of the first ring A2. Since the first ring A2 is a pure rubber product and does not have lubricating properties, the plunger sealing surface 5 in the first ring A2 is arc-shaped, and in this case, the hard objects are quickly brought into the plunger sealing surface 5 by the moving plunger A7; at the same time, the mutual friction between the plunger A7 and the first ring A2 generates heat, and the ambient temperature of the first ring A2 rises rapidly; under high pressure, high temperature and dynamic corrosive liquid, the performance of the first ring A2 will be accelerated, and it will be quickly torn and eroded, causing water leakage. The main reasons are as follows: first, the shape structure of the first ring A2 is unreasonable; second, the mutual friction between the first ring A2 and the plunger A7 generates heat quickly.

[0044] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4 The utility model discloses a kind of reciprocating motion self-lubricating first rings B2, which can effectively prolong the service life of self-lubricating first ring B2, reduce packing replacement frequency, so as to achieve the purpose of improving oil production efficiency.
