Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor wire fixing technology, and more specifically, to a connection structure between the motor lead wire and cable of a submersible linear motor. Background Technology
[0002] Submersible motors operate in high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive downhole environments, presenting severe challenges to the robustness, sealing, and weather resistance of the motor leads and cables. During well entry and exit and operation, the cable joints are subjected to external impacts, all of which challenge the stable operation of the submersible pump. Furthermore, due to the limited projected diameter of the tubing and motor, the dimensions of the cable joints must be strictly controlled. As a critical component connecting the submersible motor and cable, the submersible cable joint is the weakest point in the electrical and mechanical structure of the entire submersible pump system; its insulation, sealing, and robustness directly affect the reliability of the submersible pump.
[0003] Currently, it is difficult to balance the requirements of insulation, sealing, and mechanical strength in the motor leads and cables of submersible pumps. Most submersible cables are connected by manual crimping and wrapping. The cable sheath used outside the insulation layer has limited sealing performance and poor resistance to external impact. After long-term operation downhole, well fluid will seep into the gap between the sheath and the joint insulation, affecting the cable insulation quality and reducing the service life of the submersible pump.
[0004] Utility model CN205304204U discloses a submersible cable connection device, comprising: a cable connector, which is hollow and cylindrical, for fitting onto the outside of a set of submersible cable cores to be connected; a sealing sleeve, which is hollow and cylindrical, fitted onto the outside of the cable connector, the length of the sealing sleeve being greater than the length of the cable connector; a crimping member, comprising a first crimping block and a second crimping block, the first crimping block and the second crimping block mating to form at least one first hole, the first hole being for engaging with the submersible cable core, the cross-sectional area of the first hole being smaller than the cross-sectional area of the submersible cable core; and a limiting pressure block, comprising a first pressure block and a second pressure block, the first pressure block and the second pressure block mating to form at least one second hole, the second hole being for engaging with the insulation layer of the submersible cable. The device has a certain sealing and tensile strength, but it has high requirements for the processing accuracy and assembly ability of the cable joint and sealing sleeve. At the same time, the sealing performance of the cable joint is achieved by interference fit between mechanical parts, and the sealing effect will drop rapidly after long-term operation in the well and subjected to various impacts. The cable joint solution seals three-phase cables at the same time, which takes up too much volume and can easily affect the normal operation of other components in the well. Moreover, it is not suitable for connecting and fixing cables and motor leads. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems of the prior art, this invention provides a connection structure for the motor lead wire and cable of a submersible linear motor.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0007] This utility model provides a connection structure for the motor lead wire and cable of a submersible linear motor, including a motor lead wire, a cable, and a cable fixing clamp.

The motor lead wire is fixedly connected to the cable. Fluoroplastic tape is fixedly wrapped around the copper wire connection, and polytetrafluoroethylene tape is wrapped between the motor lead wire and the cable. The wrapping of the polytetrafluoroethylene tape is heat-treated.

[0008] Furthermore, the phase cable fixing clamp includes a cable fixing outer clamp, a cable fixing inner clamp fixed on the cable fixing outer clamp, and a locking inner clamp. The cable fixing outer clamp is provided with an outer clamping arc, and the cable fixing inner clamp is provided with an inner clamping arc. Anti-slip pads are provided on the outer clamping arc and the inner clamping arc.
[0009] Furthermore, the submersible cable fixing clamp includes an upper clamping cuff and a lower clamping cuff, which are fixedly connected. The upper clamping cuff has a submersible cable fixing groove, and an anti-slip pad is adhered to the fixing groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the anti-slip pad is made of rubber.
[0011] Furthermore, the cable and its outer metal casing are interference-fitted using a cold-drawing process.
[0012] Furthermore, the metal casing is made of stainless steel and is connected to the motor end by welding.
[0013] Furthermore, the fluoroplastic tape is a perfluoroethylene propylene tape; the heat treatment temperature is 180-210℃, and the heating time is 8-10 minutes.
[0014] Furthermore, the motor lead wire and the cable are fixedly connected by induction welding or crimping of copper sleeves or copper core plugs.
[0015] Furthermore, multiple sets of the cable fixing clamps can be provided.
[0016] Furthermore, the angle of the tapered fit is 30 to 60°.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This invention enhances the sealing performance of the motor leads by welding and pressure sealing them to the motor end through a tapered surface fit, and also reduces the radial dimension of the entire motor.
[0019] This invention uses a special insulating tape and a high-temperature fusion process at the connection between the motor lead wire and the cable, so that the insulating wrapping layer on the wire core can simultaneously achieve the effects of insulation and sealing. The structure is simple, reliable, and highly stable, and is convenient for assembly and repair in the harsh field environment of oil fields.
[0020] This utility model uses a Haval-style cable clamp to simultaneously position and fix the three-phase cable and the submersible motor cable, reducing the impact of axial vibration during submersible motor operation on the cable connection and reducing the projected outer diameter of the submersible motor cable.
