AI Technical Summary
Existing oil pumping unit brake shoes and shafts suffer from problems such as complex lubrication and maintenance, poor versatility, and susceptibility to corrosion, which affect braking performance. This leads to frequent brake pad wear, jamming, and slippage, impacting equipment safety and production efficiency.
A brake shoe shaft structure was designed, comprising a shaft body, a locking nut, a lubricating oil groove, an oil outlet, an oil filling hole, a spring washer, an adjusting square head, an internal thread interface, and a grease fitting. Self-lubrication is achieved through the annular lubricating oil groove and the grease fitting. Combined with the design of the brake hub shaft positioning nut and the locking nut, the installation and positioning adjustment are simplified.
It achieves self-lubrication and flexible positioning of the brake shoe shaft, avoiding rust and jamming problems, improving the service life of the brake pads and the operational stability of the pumping unit, and reducing maintenance workload and safety risks.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to oilfield pumping unit brake technology especially a pumping unit brake shoe axle. BACKGROUND
[0002] Whether the walking beam type pumping unit brake is flexible and good to use plays a very important role in the safe operation of the pumping unit. In the production site, due to the corrosion of the pumping unit by rainwater and other external environments all the year round, the brake shoe axle and the brake hub shaft hole often appear dead phenomenon, resulting in that the brake pad is not flexible to open and close, and the brake hub is rubbed, which will cause the pumping unit brake pad to wear out, and the phenomenon of sticking and coasting often occurs during operation. These problems have long plagued the normal operation of the pumping unit. So far, there is no new technology to solve such problems. The walking beam type pumping unit generally uses an outer holding type brake, and the brake assembly usually includes a brake shoe axle, i.e. a brake shoe axle, which is screw assembled on a reduction box, and two holding rings which are movably sleeved on the brake shoe axle. The two holding rings can move towards each other to hold the brake wheel tightly to complete the brake action. The end of the brake shoe axle away from the reduction box is provided with a stop end, and a shaft sleeve is sleeved on the brake shoe axle, and the two ends of the shaft sleeve are respectively topped on the holding ring and the reduction box, and the two holding rings realize axial stop positioning through the shaft sleeve and the stop end.
[0003] The application scene of the old brake shoe axle technology: mainly applied to the walking beam type pumping unit of land oil exploitation. When the pumping unit is installed, debugged and repaired, the brake device where the brake shoe axle is located plays an important role in ensuring the safety of operation, facilitating installation and debugging, etc.
[0004] Disadvantages of the old brake shoe axle:
[0005] Complex lubrication and maintenance: the brake shoe axle needs to be disassembled for applying lubricating oil, which increases the maintenance workload and difficulty, consumes time and manpower, and also brings unsafe risks to construction personnel.
[0006] Poor universality: due to the variety of pumping unit reduction boxes, the distance between the brake wheel and the reduction box and the width of the brake wheel have multiple specifications, but the brake assembly usually has only one technical standard, and the old brake shoe axle and the shaft sleeve matched therewith are of fixed size. When installed on different types of reduction boxes, problems such as the short distance of the threaded section of the brake shoe axle screw assembled on the reduction box, the shaft sleeve unable to realize positioning of the holding ring, etc. may occur, resulting in sinking of the overhanging end of the brake shoe axle, wear of the brake pad by the holding ring, short service life of the brake, etc.
[0007] Rust easily affects braking: the walking beam type pumping unit is operated in the field for a long time, and is affected by environmental factors. The brake shoe axle often rusts due to the gap, which further affects the braking effect and brings great influence on equipment inspection and maintenance. SUMMARY
[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple, wear-resistant, and reliable brake shoe shaft for an oil pumping unit, which overcomes the shortcomings of the original technology. This utility model achieves its purpose by comprising a shaft body, a locking nut, a lubricating oil groove, an oil outlet, an oil filling hole, a spring washer, an adjusting square head, an internal threaded interface, a grease fitting, and a brake hub shaft positioning nut. The key feature is that: one end of the shaft body has a locking nut, the other end has an adjusting square head, and a brake hub shaft positioning nut is located in the middle; the shaft body and the adjusting square head are an integral structure, and a spring washer is fitted onto the inner side of the shaft body of the adjusting square head.
[0009] The shaft body has an annular lubricating oil groove at the middle end, and a longitudinal oil outlet hole inside the annular lubricating oil groove. The oil outlet hole is a through hole, and the diameter of the oil outlet hole is the same as the width of the annular lubricating oil groove.
[0010] An oil injection hole is provided at the center of one end of the shaft body, and the oil injection hole is concentric with the shaft body; one end of the oil injection hole passes through the oil outlet hole and is located inside the brake hub shaft positioning nut; the other end of the oil injection hole is located at the center of the adjusting square head, and the end of the oil injection hole is connected to a grease nipple, which is fastened to the oil injection hole by an internal thread interface.
[0011] The brake hub shaft positioning nut is arranged longitudinally and has the same diameter as the locking nut.
[0012] The application method of this utility model is as follows: First, insert the spring washer into the shaft body; insert the brake hub shaft into the shaft body; tighten the brake hub shaft positioning nut; then tighten the lock nut; then align the brake hole position with the pump reducer body and install it, tightening the lock nut after reaching the appropriate position; then adjust the brake hub shaft positioning nut into place; second, add an appropriate amount of grease to the grease fitting with a grease gun; third, adjust the entire braking system until it is flexible and easy to use.
[0013] The significance of this utility model: This device has a simple structure and is easy to operate; it solves the lubrication problem between the brake shoe shaft and the brake pad shaft and the positioning adjustment problem of the brake hub shaft, and eliminates the problems of rust and seizing of the brake shoe shaft and brake pad shaft holes, resulting in jamming, slippage, and brake positioning adjustment; it ensures the normal operation of the oil pumping unit, reduces workload, and improves production efficiency and safety factor.
