Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nitrogen lift drainage technology, and in particular to a nitrogen lift drainage device. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen lift drainage devices are characterized by safe construction, simple process, fast drainage speed, and controllable drainage depth. They are particularly suitable for drainage of gas-bearing wells. Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not react chemically or explode with other substances at room temperature. It has low operating costs and is easy to transport. At the same time, the gas lift valve is an essential part of the nitrogen lift drainage device.

[0003] Referring to the patent with publication number CN218862587U, a nitrogen gas lift liquid discharge device is disclosed. It can use a gas cover and a hollow block to allow the liquid on the top of the gas lift to enter the gas cover and the hollow block to accumulate, thereby increasing the pressure of the gas rod and making the gas rod less susceptible to sliding due to pressure during the gas lift process.

[0004] However, the aforementioned nitrogen gas lift drainage device uses a simple direct injection air intake structure. After nitrogen enters the liquid, it tends to accumulate locally near the air inlet, making it difficult to distribute evenly throughout the entire wellbore liquid column. As a result, the lifting force of the gas lift valve on the liquid cannot be evenly applied to the entire liquid column. In some areas, the liquid cannot be effectively lifted due to insufficient nitrogen buoyancy, which seriously affects the gas lift drainage efficiency, increases drainage time and cost, and restricts the high-efficiency production of oil wells.

[0031] For example, Figure 1 Figure 3 ​As shown, the embodiment provides a nitrogen gas lift liquid discharge device, which comprises a gas lift valve 1, one side of the gas lift valve 1 is provided with a pipe body 2, a through pipe 4 is installed in the pipe body 2, a gas rod 3 is attached on one side of the through pipe 4, two supporting plates 7 are arranged on the outer sleeve of the gas lift valve 1, springs 5 and air bags 6 are symmetrically arranged between the supporting plates 7, a fixing mechanism is arranged on the supporting plate 7, and an aggregation and pressurization mechanism 10 is connected to the lower end of the gas rod 3. In this example, the aggregation and pressurization mechanism 10 comprises a gas cover, a fixing rod and a hollow block, so that when the liquid is lifted up, the lifted liquid can enter the gas cover and the hollow block to aggregate, so as to increase the pressure of the gas rod 3. The specific principle and structure can be referred to the corresponding part of the reference file mentioned above. An air inlet mechanism is arranged in the gas lift valve 1 on one side of the gas rod 3. The air inlet mechanism comprises a transmission cylinder 12, which is fixedly installed on one side of the lower part in the gas lift valve 1. One side of the transmission cylinder 12 is communicated with an air inlet pipe 11, and one end of the air inlet pipe 11 extends out of the gas lift valve 1. A connecting pipe 16 is arranged on the side of the transmission cylinder 12 away from the air inlet pipe 11, and the upper end of the connecting pipe 16 is connected with the top of the transmission cylinder 12.

[0032] In this example, the air inlet mechanism further comprises a flow guide seat 13, which is fixedly installed on the top of the transmission cylinder 12. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the flow guide seat 13, and the rotating shaft 14 is a hollow structure with two open ends. A flow distribution disc 17 is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 14 outside the transmission cylinder 12. A plurality of blades 15 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14 inside the transmission cylinder 12. In this way, the nitrogen gas can be sprayed into the liquid in a rotating manner, so that the nitrogen gas is more evenly distributed, the liquid is stirred, a wider flow path is formed, the nitrogen gas is prevented from gathering in a local area, the gas-liquid mixing is effectively promoted, the nitrogen gas and the liquid are fully contacted, the buoyancy effect of the nitrogen gas on the liquid is better exerted, and the lifting capacity and the liquid discharge effect of the gas lift valve 1 on the liquid are improved.

[0033] In this example, the end of the air inlet pipe 11 and the connecting pipe 16 connected with the side wall of the transmission cylinder 12 is tangent to the transmission cylinder 12. The inner wall surface of the flow guide seat 13 is in the shape of an inverted circular truncated cone, so as to guide the nitrogen gas to enter the rotating shaft 14.

[0034] In this example, the flow distribution disc 17 is a hollow structure, the branch pipes 18 are in the shape of L, and the two branch pipes 18 are arranged in a circumferentially equidistant array. A plurality of through holes are arranged on the outer wall of the gas rod 3, so that the nitrogen gas is distributed to the two branch pipes 18 through the flow distribution disc 17. The structure of the branch pipe 18 enables the nitrogen gas to be sprayed out to drive the branch pipe 18 to rotate with the flow distribution disc 17 and the rotating shaft 14.

[0035] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 4 - Figure 6As shown in the example, the fixing mechanism includes a slider 8, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the spring 5 and the airbag 6. Each end of the spring 5 and the airbag 6 is connected to a slider 8. A groove 9 adapted to the slider 8 is symmetrically opened on one side of the support plate 7. A limiting block 19 is provided on one side of the slider 8 in the groove 9. A torsion rod 20 is rotatably installed in the limiting block 19. A support rod 21 is symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the torsion rod 20. One end of the support rod 21 is movably connected to an insertion rod 23 through a connecting rod 22. The outer end of the insertion rod 23 is inserted into a slot symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the groove 9. A torsion spring 24 is sleeved on the outer side of the torsion rod 20 on the side of the support rod 21 near the slider 8. Both ends of the torsion spring 24 are fixedly connected to the torsion rod 20 and the limiting block 19, respectively, so as to disassemble and replace the corroded and aged spring 5 or airbag 6.

[0036] In this example, both slider 8 and limit block 19 are convex-shaped structures, and slider 8 and limit block 19 are slidably connected to slide groove 9. The lower support plate 7 is fixedly connected to air lift valve 1 so as to limit and guide slider 8 and limit block 19.

[0037] In this example, the support rod 21, the connecting rod 22 and the insertion rod 23 are all arranged in a circumferentially equidistant array. The two ends of the connecting rod 22 are hinged to the support rod 21 and the insertion rod 23 respectively. One end of the torsion bar 20 extends to the outside of the limiting block 19 and is connected to a handle so that the torsion handle can be twisted to drive the two insertion rods 23 to move in opposite directions in a synchronous manner.

[0038] In use, by connecting one end of the inlet pipe 11 to an external nitrogen supply device, high-speed nitrogen enters the transmission cylinder 12, which in turn drives the blades 15 to rotate the connected shaft 14. The shaft 14 then drives the distribution plate 17 and the branch pipe 18 to rotate synchronously. The nitrogen entering the transmission cylinder 12 is guided to the shaft 14 through the connecting pipe 16, and then distributed to the branch pipe 18 by the distribution plate 17 before being blown into the liquid. This allows the branch pipe 18 to rotate and spray nitrogen. Due to the structure of the branch pipe 18, the spraying of nitrogen generates a reverse force that drives the branch pipe 18 to rotate the distribution plate 17 and the shaft 14. This, along with the nitrogen-driven blades 15 rotating the shaft 14, assists each other, allowing the branch pipe 18 to rotate better. This results in a more uniform distribution of nitrogen in the liquid, and the branch pipe 18 also agitates the liquid, allowing for better mixing of nitrogen and liquid. This method enables a more uniform distribution of nitrogen and forms a wider flow path, preventing nitrogen from accumulating in localized areas and ensuring sufficient contact between nitrogen and liquid. This design allows for better utilization of nitrogen's buoyancy on the liquid, significantly improving the lifting capacity and drainage effect of the air lift valve, making it more practical. When spring 5 or air bladder 6 needs replacement due to aging or damage, the handle can be twisted to rotate the connected torsion rod 20, causing it to twist the torsion spring 24. Simultaneously, the torsion rod 20 drives the support rod 21, which in turn drives the connecting rod 22 and the insertion rod 23, causing the two insertion rods 23 to move inward relative to each other, thus moving them out of the slot. Then, the limiting block 19 is removed from the slide groove 9, and the sliding slider 8 will connect with it. After removing the spring 5 or airbag 6, replace it with a new spring 5 or airbag 6 and repeat the above steps. After installing the slider 8 into the slide groove 9, use the limiting block 19 to block and limit its fixation. After installing the limiting block 19 into the slide groove 9, release the force applied to the handle, and the torsion rod 20 will be reset under the torque of the torsion spring 24, thereby allowing the insertion rod 23 to be reset and inserted into the corresponding slot, completing the fixation of the limiting block 19, and thus completing the installation and limiting of the spring 5 and airbag 6. It is convenient to use and highly practical.

[0039] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
