Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking device technology, and in particular to a parking device for an oil pumping unit. Background Technology

[0002] Brakes for beam pumping units mainly fall into two categories: external clamping and internal tensioning. Both utilize friction pairs to park the pumping unit. As the service life increases, normal wear of the brake friction pairs and brake wheels, as well as deformation of the brake linkage mechanism, reduce the braking torque. After shutdown, operators rely solely on conventional braking devices during pumping unit operations. However, pumping unit vibrations caused by changes in well load, well workover operations, pumping unit maintenance, and crank pin assembly replacement can easily lead to slippage of the brake friction pairs, causing unexpected movement of the pumping unit. Therefore, for safety reasons, oilfield units have successively developed auxiliary braking devices.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN214945914U discloses a special-shaped tooth safety parking device for a beam pumping unit, which includes a braking mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and a driving mechanism; the braking mechanism includes a brake disc and a brake arm; the outer edge of the brake disc is uniformly fixed with disc brake teeth; the disc brake teeth are special-shaped teeth, which include a tooth body, the side of the tooth body includes a tooth tip edge, a tooth middle edge, and a tooth bottom edge, the top of the tooth tip edge intersects to form an acute angle tooth tip, the tooth middle edge is inclined inward, and both the tooth tip edge and the tooth bottom edge form an obtuse angle with the tooth middle edge; the lower part of the brake arm is equipped with a brake tooth block, the brake tooth block includes a brake base plate and an arm brake tooth, the arm brake tooth is a special-shaped tooth that matches the disc brake tooth.

[0004] The aforementioned prior art achieves self-locking of the mechanism by designing the brake teeth as irregular teeth. However, when the device is working, it needs to rotate the rocker arm and drive the lead screw to drive the horizontal tie rod, which consumes a lot of time, reduces work efficiency, and thus results in poor practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a parking device for oil pumping units that facilitates braking, improves working efficiency, and enhances practicality.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a pumping unit parking device, comprising a pumping unit body, a brake wheel mounted on the pumping unit body, a parking mechanism comprising an electric actuator fixedly mounted on the pumping unit body, a top plate fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric actuator, two connecting cylinders hinged to the top plate, two brake shoes hinged to the pumping unit body, each brake shoe hinged with a connecting post, the two connecting posts slidably connected to the two connecting cylinders, each connecting cylinder having a limit groove, each connecting post having a limit block fixedly mounted on the two connecting posts, the two limit blocks slidingly passing through the two limit grooves, each connecting post having a spring fitted on the two connecting posts, a power supply and a controller mounted on the pumping unit body, the electric actuator, the power supply and the controller being electrically connected, and a locking mechanism mounted on the top plate for locking the brake wheel after parking.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when parking is required, the controller controls the electric push rod to work. The electric push rod pushes the top plate to rise. The top plate, through the connecting column and connecting cylinder, pushes the two brake shoes to rotate inward until both brake shoes are in contact with the brake wheel, causing the brake wheel to decelerate. The top plate continues to rise, and the connecting column slides in the connecting cylinder under the limiting action of the limiting block. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the locking mechanism on the top plate can lock the brake wheel a second time to prevent it from rotating. This process realizes the braking process, improves working efficiency, and thus enhances practicality.

[0010] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes an L-shaped rod, which is fixedly installed on the top plate, and a locking wheel is fixedly installed on the brake wheel, with multiple locking grooves provided on the locking wheel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the two brake shoes fix the brake wheel, the top plate drives the L-shaped rod to continue to rise until the top of the L-shaped rod is inserted into the locking groove of the locking wheel, thereby locking the brake wheel a second time and improving safety.

[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the L-shaped rod, and the reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the top plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing rod can strengthen the connection between the L-shaped rod and the top plate, thereby improving stability.

[0014] Preferably, friction pads are provided at the inner ends of both brake shoes.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction pad can slow down the speed of the brake wheel, thereby improving its practicality.

[0016] Preferably, the pumping unit body is equipped with a protective box, and the electric actuator, power supply and controller are all located inside the protective box, which is hinged with a door.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective box can protect electrical equipment. It can be used simply by opening the box door, thereby improving safety.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application provides a parking device for an oil pumping unit, which has the following advantages:

[0020] When parking is required, the controller operates the electric actuator, which pushes the top plate upward. The top plate, through the connecting column and connecting cylinder, pushes the two brake shoes to rotate inward until both brake shoes are in contact with the brake wheel, causing the brake wheel to decelerate. The top plate continues to rise, and the connecting column slides inside the connecting cylinder under the limiting action of the limit block. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the locking mechanism on the top plate can lock the brake wheel a second time to prevent it from rotating. This process realizes the braking process, improves working efficiency, and thus enhances practicality. Attached Figure Description
