Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a detection device, specifically, a sucker rod end runout detection device, belonging to the field of sucker rod detection technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the production standard for sucker rods requires that the runout at the end of the rod meet certain requirements. Standards such as API also have strict requirements for controlling the runout at the end of the sucker rod. Excessive runout at the end of the sucker rod can lead to the following problems: 1. Uneven thread engagement and unbalanced preload distribution, easily causing thread loosening, stripping, or seal failure; 2. Disruption of rod string coaxiality, causing the sucker rod to deviate within the wellbore, exacerbating mechanical wear with the tubing. Simultaneously, eccentric movement may induce lateral vibration, leading to increased polished rod vibration, accelerating packing seal wear, and causing wellhead leakage; 3. Localized stress concentration, accelerating fatigue crack initiation under alternating loads. Statistics show that 80% of sucker rod fractures occur in the end joint transition zone. Therefore, sucker rod end runout detection is particularly necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned traditional technologies and provide a sucker rod end runout detection device, which can prevent sucker rod breakage accidents caused by connection failure. By detecting sucker rod end runout online, it can eliminate parts with excessive end runout, reduce the failure rate of the oil pumping system from the source, and extend the equipment life by more than 30%. It is a key measure to ensure the safe operation of the oil pumping system and extend the equipment life.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical measures: a sucker rod end runout detection device, comprising a fixing component, a balancing component, and a detection component. The fixing component includes a fixing seat, one end of which is provided with a fixing bracket. A movable bracket is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing bracket. The movable bracket includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The balancing component includes two end caps, which are respectively fixedly connected to the lower sides of the horizontal plate. Bearings are provided inside the two end caps. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two bearings. Two balancing beams are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The end of the balancing beam closest to the fixing bracket is bent upwards. The detection component is located at the other end of the balancing beam.

[0005] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0006] The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are vertically fixedly connected. The vertical plate is provided with positioning holes for bolts to pass through, and the fixed bracket is provided with strip holes for bolts to pass through.

[0007] Both balance beams are set perpendicular to the rotation axis. The balance beams have annular parts through which the rotation axis passes. The balance beams and the rotation axis are fixed by spot welding at the joint.

[0008] The bearing has a retaining ring for the hole on its outer periphery and a retaining ring for the shaft on its outer side.

[0009] The detection component includes a detection panel, a dial indicator, and a fixed column, with the dial indicator fixedly connected to the fixed column.

[0010] The lower end of the fixed column is provided with a certain length of thread, and the horizontal plate is provided with threaded holes, and the fixed column is threadedly connected to the horizontal plate.

[0011] The lower end of the fixed column is equipped with a locking nut.

[0012] The two ends of the detection panel are bent upwards to form obtuse angles of 150°.

[0013] The detection panel is fixedly connected to the end of the two balance beams away from the fixed bracket, and the detection panel is positioned below the dial gauge.

[0014] The other end of the fixed base is provided with a material support frame.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: During measurement, the sucker rod to be measured is placed on the support frame, and the shoulder of the sucker rod end is placed directly below the detection panel, ensuring that the distance between the support of the sucker rod to be measured and the shoulder of the sucker rod end is 152.4mm. First, adjust the contact of the dial indicator to contact the upper surface of the detection panel, rotate the sucker rod to be measured so that the shoulder of the sucker rod end rotates accordingly, causing the detection panel to jump up and down, causing the contact of the dial indicator to move as well, thereby measuring the maximum value of the jump. In this way, the jump value of the entire shoulder is measured, making the measurement more accurate.

A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected between the two bearings 9. Two balancing beams 13 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 12. Both balancing beams 13 are perpendicular to the rotating shaft 12. The balancing beams 13 are provided with annular portions 14, through which the rotating shaft 12 passes. The balancing beams 13 and the rotating shaft 12 are fixed by spot welding. The end of the balancing beam 13 near the fixed bracket 2 is bent upward, and the detection component is located at the other end of the balancing beam 13.
