[0042] Furthermore, the metering branch gate valve 51, the first tee 52, the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60, the second tee 71, the calibration branch gate valve 72, the third tee 74, the check valve 81, and the fourth tee 82 constitute the metering branch. The metering branch gate valve 51, the first tee 52, the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60, the second tee 71, the calibration branch gate valve 72, the first ball valve 73, the second ball valve 75, the third tee 74, the check valve 81, and the fourth tee 82 constitute the calibration branch. The maintenance branch gate valve 41 and the first flange of the oil delivery pipe constitute the maintenance branch. According to the usage of the wellhead equipment, the operator selects the working state, opens the corresponding valve, and the oil flows from the bottom of the well through the double male short section 100 and the tubing four-way body 11 into the connecting four-way 20 and then into the corresponding branch. Furthermore, the maintenance branch gate valve 41, the first ball valve 73, and the second ball valve 75 are normally closed. When it is necessary to measure the components in the oil, the operator selects the metering mode, opens the metering branch gate valve 51 and the calibration branch gate valve 72, and ensures that the maintenance branch gate valve 41, the first ball valve 73 and the second ball valve 75 are closed. The oil flows into the metering branch from the connecting four-way valve 20, and flows sequentially through the metering branch gate valve 51, the first three-way valve 52, the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60, the second three-way valve 71, the calibration branch gate valve 72, the third three-way valve 74, the check valve 81, the fourth three-way valve 82 and the second flange of the oil pipeline, and finally enters the oil pipeline. At this time, the metering mode is activated. When the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60 needs maintenance or adjustment, the wellhead operator selects the maintenance mode, closes the metering branch gate valve 51 and the calibration branch gate valve 72, and ensures that the first ball valve 73 and the second ball valve 75 are closed. Then, the maintenance branch gate valve 41 is opened, and the oil flows into the maintenance branch from the connecting four-way valve 20, flows through the maintenance branch gate valve 41 and the first flange 42 of the oil pipeline in sequence, and finally flows into the oil pipeline. At this time, since the metering branch gate valve 51 and the calibration branch valve 72 are closed, no oil flows through the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60, maintenance can be carried out without affecting the normal output of oil. After the three-phase flow measuring instrument 60 has been used for a certain period of time, the measurement results may be affected by the sediment deposition in the oil. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a calibration procedure for the three-phase flow measuring instrument 60. In this process, based on the measurement state, the wellhead operator selects the calibration state, connects the first ball valve 73 and the second ball valve 75 to the external calibration vehicle, opens the first ball valve 73 and the second ball valve 75 in sequence, and then closes the calibration branch gate valve 72 to perform equipment calibration. The oil enters the calibration vehicle from the first ball valve 73, and flows back through the second ball valve 75 to the third tee 74, check valve 81, fourth tee 82 and the second flange 84 of the oil pipeline, and finally flows into the oil pipeline. After the calibration is completed, the calibration branch gate valve 72 is opened in sequence, and the first ball valve 73 and the second ball valve 75 are closed to re-enter the measurement state.

[0043] Furthermore, the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60 is connected to external processing equipment via wired or wireless means. The oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60 uses either the YC-J-III or YC-J-II oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument. The oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument 60 adopts a multi-sensor fusion measurement system and is equipped with an array of thermodynamic sensors, an electromagnetic water cut measurement sensor, a temperature sensor, and multiple pressure sensors. It can accurately measure key parameters such as oil well production, oil production, gas production, water cut, temperature, and pressure.

[0044] This invention provides an oil wellhead device equipped with a three-phase flow measuring instrument. Through a rational layout of the wellhead device's pipelines, the oil-gas-water three-phase flow measuring instrument is integrated onto the wellhead device, enabling real-time measurement of three-phase fluid parameters in a single well during oil production. It features a simple structure, small size, low cost, and high accuracy. Furthermore, it facilitates maintenance, disassembly, and calibration, ensuring normal oil output even during these processes and not disrupting the oil production process.

[0045] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
