Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil extraction equipment, specifically relating to a wellhead double-seal filler. Background Technology
[0002] In oilfield extraction operations, wellheads are sealed by packing to seal the sucker rods. Current sealing structures use a single layer of sealing packing in conjunction with a compensating spring for sealing and compensation. However, single-layer sealing packing is prone to wear, leading to seal failure, crude oil leakage, environmental pollution, and resource waste. Using only springs for compensation is prone to misalignment, causing uneven stress on the packing and affecting the sealing performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wellhead dual-seal filler to address the existing technical problems.
[0004] To solve the problems of the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A wellhead double-seal packer includes a packing box fitted onto a polished rod. The packing box contains lower sealing packing, with an elastic compensating ring in the middle. A lower packing cap, fixed to the top of the packing box, is located above the lower sealing packing. Upper sealing packing is located inside the lower packing cap, and an upper packing cap is located above the upper sealing packing. The elastic compensating ring includes an upper compensating ring and a lower compensating ring with conical pressing surfaces. Multiple guide posts are evenly distributed at the bottom of the upper compensating ring, and a stepped hole that mates with the guide posts is located at the top of the lower compensating ring. The lower end of each guide post extends into the stepped hole and is fixed with a limit nut. A compensating rubber sleeve is fitted onto the guide post, and a compensating spring is encased within the compensating rubber sleeve. Connecting flange rings are located on the outer top of both the upper and lower packing caps, and the upper and lower connecting flange rings are connected by locking bolts.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the top and bottom of the compensating rubber sleeve are provided with limiting bosses, and the upper and lower compensating rings are provided with limiting recesses that cooperate with the limiting bosses. During the assembly of the elastic compensating rings, the compensating rubber sleeve can be quickly positioned and limited.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, an annular sealing groove is provided on the outer side wall of the lower end of the packing gland, and a sealing ring is provided in the annular sealing groove to prevent dust from entering the inner cavity of the packing gland.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a sealing cavity is provided in the bottom inner hole of the stuffing box, and an oil seal is provided in the sealing cavity to prevent lubricating oil leakage.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a fixing flange is provided on the outer bottom of the packing gland. The fixing flange is fixed to the top of the packing box by fixing bolts, and a sealing gasket is provided between the fixing flange and the packing box to prevent leakage.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, an oil reservoir is fixed to the top of the packing gland, and multiple vertical oil guide grooves (I) are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the packing gland (II). Multiple vertical oil guide grooves (II) are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the packing gland (III). The lower part of the packing gland (IV) has two oil guide holes (I and II) respectively connecting its inner hole to the vertical oil guide grooves (I and II). The lower part of the packing gland (V) has three oil guide holes connecting its inner hole to the vertical oil guide grooves (I). The oil reservoir and oil guide structure continuously supply oil to the seals, reducing the coefficient of friction and extending equipment life.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the packing gland is provided with a conical oil guide recess, and a support platform is provided on the outside of the oil guide recess to support the bottom of the oil reservoir. The oil guide recess facilitates lubrication flow, and the support platform can quickly support the bottom of the oil reservoir and facilitates welding and fixing.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the oil reservoir is equipped with a scraper sleeve, and the inner hole of the scraper sleeve contains a scraper rubber sleeve. The inner hole of the scraper rubber sleeve is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the polished rod. Both the scraper sleeve and the scraper rubber sleeve are composed of two semi-circular sleeves. The scraper sleeve and the scraper rubber sleeve can clean impurities from the polished rod, reduce the entry of impurities into the lubricating or sealing parts, prevent abnormal wear, and increase the service life of the equipment.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0014] The double-sealed packing, combined with an elastic compensating ring, automatically compensates for gaps after wear, improving sealing reliability and reducing leakage rate by over 90%. The compensating spring and rubber sleeve work together to adapt to vibration and pressure changes under different well conditions. The guide post, stepped hole, and limiting nut structure of the elastic compensating ring provide radial constraint and axial compensation space, ensuring that the compensating force always acts axially on the sealing packing, preventing force dispersion or uneven loading due to vibration. Simultaneously, the damping characteristics of the compensating rubber sleeve absorb vibration energy, reducing fatigue damage to the compensating spring. Attached Figure Description
