[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric submersible pump technology, and in particular to a slotted screen structure for electric submersible pump drainage. Background Technology

[0002] An electric submersible pump (ESP) is a pump specifically designed for deep well pumping. During pumping, it is driven directly by an electric motor. It is commonly used for pumping groundwater, oil, and natural gas. Slotted screens are an important component of ESPs during pumping, mainly used for collecting deep fluids in the wellbore during oil and gas extraction. They typically have multiple small holes or slots to allow groundwater or oil and gas to enter and pass through the screens into the pump body, enabling the pump to efficiently extract downhole fluids.

[0003] However, in practical use, the slotted screen openings on the outside of existing screens can become clogged due to contact with mud and sand. If this clogging is not addressed, it will affect the pumping operation of the electric submersible pump. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a slotted screen structure for electric submersible pump pumping to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides a technical solution for an electric submersible pump (ESP) slotted screen tube structure: it includes a screen tube 2 and an ESP 1 set above the screen tube 2. A second connecting seat 5 is fixed at the upper end of the screen tube 2, and a first connecting seat 4 is fixed at the lower end of the screen tube 2. Support legs 41 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the first connecting seat 4. Screen slot holes 21 are opened on the outside of the screen tube 2. Electric lifting rods 32 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the second connecting seat 5. A cleaning ring 3 is set at the lower end of the electric lifting rod 32 on the outside of the screen tube 2. A cleaning brush 33 is set on the inner side of the cleaning ring 3. A connecting sleeve 51 is also set on the outside of the second connecting seat 5. This arrangement uses the connecting sleeve 51 to realize the positioning connection between the ESP 1 and the screen tube 2. By using the cleaning brush 33 on the inner side of the cleaning ring 3 that moves up and down on the outside of the screen tube 2, the screen slot holes 21 can be cleaned to avoid clogging and affecting use.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the outer side of the second connecting seat 5 and the outer end of the electric submersible pump 1 are provided with external threads, and the inner side of the connecting sleeve 51 is provided with internal threads that engage with the external threads. This arrangement allows the connecting sleeve 51 to rotate on the external threads of the second connecting seat 5 and the electric submersible pump 1, thus enabling the electric submersible pump 1 to be quickly connected to the second connecting seat 5.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a positioning groove 52 is provided on the upper surface of the second connecting seat 5, and positioning pins 53 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the positioning groove 52. A positioning hole that matches the positioning pin 53 is provided on the lower surface of the electric submersible pump 1. This arrangement can achieve the purpose of positioning connection between the electric submersible pump 1 and the screen tube 2 by embedding the positioning pin 53 into the positioning hole.

[0023] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, guide rods 31 are symmetrically arranged between the second connecting seat 5 and the first connecting seat 4. The cleaning ring 3 is slidably installed on the outside of the guide rod 31. The fixed end of the electric lifting rod 32 is installed on the lower surface of the second connecting seat 5, and the telescopic end of the electric lifting rod 32 is connected to the upper surface of the cleaning ring 3. This arrangement allows the cleaning ring 3 to rise and fall outside the screen tube 2 by the operation of the electric lifting rod 32, and is guided by the guide rod 31 during the rise and fall. In this way, the purpose of cleaning the screen openings 21 on the outside of the screen tube 2 can be achieved by the cleaning brush 33 on the inner side of the cleaning ring 3. The cleaning brush 33 can be made of nylon or stainless steel.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the inner end of the cleaning brush 33 contacts the outside of the screen tube 2. Three support legs 41 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the first connecting seat 4. This arrangement allows the cleaning brush 33 to clean the outside of the screen tube 2, while the support legs 41 can improve the stability of the screen tube 2, making it practical.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the electric submersible pump and slotted screen pipe structure, the electric submersible pump 1 and the screen pipe 2 are first connected and installed. During installation, the lower surface of the electric submersible pump 1 can be embedded into the positioning groove 52 opened on the second connecting seat 5, and the positioning pin 53 can be embedded into the positioning hole to realize the positioning connection between the electric submersible pump 1 and the screen pipe 2. The connection between the electric submersible pump 1 and the screen pipe 2 can be stabilized by rotating the threaded connecting sleeve 51. It has good practicality. After connection, the electric submersible pump 1 and the screen pipe 2 can be put into the water for operation. In order to avoid the screen slot holes 21 opened on the outside of the screen pipe 2 from being blocked, the two electric lifting rods 32 symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the second connecting seat 5 can be made to work synchronously by an external power source. This allows the cleaning ring 3 to be raised and lowered on the outside of the screen pipe 2 and guided by the guide rod 31. When it is raised and lowered, the cleaning brush 33 on the inner side of the cleaning ring 3 will brush the outside of the screen pipe 2, thereby effectively preventing the screen slot holes 21 opened on the outside of the screen pipe 2 from being blocked and affecting the normal use of the electric submersible pump 1.

[0026] All electrical components used in this invention are existing known electrical devices, all of which are connected to an external controller and external power supply, and all of which can be purchased and used directly on the market. Their structure, circuit, and control principle are all existing known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the structure, circuit, and control principle of the device are not described in detail here.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
