TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil and gas drilling, especially relates to a cooling liquid self-circulation double-mechanical seal sand pump. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sand pump is the most commonly used equipment for drilling fluid delivery in oil and gas drilling industry, and the mechanical seal device (referred to as: mechanical seal) used by the sand pump is a key component for sealing the liquid to be delivered, which forms a dynamic sealing pair between the friction end face of the hard alloy dynamic ring and the hard alloy static ring through the pre-pressure of the spring. Because the rotational speed of the sand pump is high, the relative linear velocity between the dynamic ring and the static ring is high, and the heat and wear caused by friction are also large. When the inlet of the pump is not filled with liquid into the pump body, the mechanical seal device lacking timely cooling is prone to high temperature and burning due to dry friction.
[0003] In recent years, double-mechanical seal sand pumps have appeared on the basis of traditional sand pumps. Commonly used is an integrated double-mechanical seal, which integrates two mechanical seals into one, and the spring is arranged in the middle to apply pre-tightening pressure to the dynamic rings of the two mechanical seals. After installation, the two seals form a cavity in the middle together with the mechanical seal pump cover and other parts, and cooling liquid or lubricating liquid is added in the cavity to cool and lubricate the friction pair of the mechanical seal. Due to the spring arrangement on the inside, when the sand pump is running, the pump pressure of the material chamber is too high, which is greater than the spring pressure, and the outside dynamic ring is pushed open, causing the two cavities to communicate and leak internally, and the material enters the middle cavity to mix with the lubricating cooling liquid and fail. Generally, the pump with this structure needs to pass compressed air into the lubricating and cooling circuit for pressurization to prevent internal leakage. This not only has a complex structure, but also has certain accident risks. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
