Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oilfield plunger pump technology, and in particular to a reciprocating plunger pump with anti-skid rupture. Background Technology
[0002] Reciprocating plunger pumps used in the petroleum industry are key equipment used in oilfield development to inject high-pressure water into oil wells to improve oil production and recovery rates. The slide in the reciprocating plunger pump, as a key support component for the movement of the crosshead, bears complex alternating loads. During long-term operation, the slide is prone to cracking, which can lead to overall damage to the reciprocating plunger pump and seriously affect the normal operation of oilfield development.
[0003] The main reasons for slide rail rupture are as follows: 1. Fatigue load: When the reciprocating piston pump is working, the reciprocating motion of the crosshead causes the slide rail to be subjected to alternating stresses such as tension, compression, and bending. Under long-term action, this leads to material fatigue damage, the initiation of cracks, and gradual expansion to rupture; 2. Poor lubrication: If the lubrication system fails or the lubricating oil quality is poor, the friction coefficient between the slide rail and the crosshead increases, wear intensifies, local stress concentration occurs, and the slide rail rupture is accelerated; 3. Installation and alignment deviation: During the installation of the pump body, if the installation accuracy of the slide rail and other components is not up to standard, such as non-parallel axes or coaxiality deviation, the piston movement will be skewed, resulting in uneven stress and causing the slide rail to rupture.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a reciprocating plunger pump that is resistant to slippage and breakage, so as to avoid replacing the entire reciprocating plunger pump or scrapping it, which would not only increase costs but also affect the normal operation of oilfield development.
