Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically to an automated pumping fluid metering and detection device. Background Technology
[0002] In oil extraction, accurate metering of pumping fluids is crucial for achieving efficient production, optimized resource utilization, and ensuring economic and environmental benefits. Precise metering not only enables real-time monitoring of oil production but also provides a scientific basis for production decisions, helping to adjust extraction strategies to improve recovery rates.
[0003] Accurate metering of pumping fluids ensures efficient operation of the oil extraction process. Precise metering allows for real-time monitoring of oil production, enabling the timely detection of potential production problems such as declining well output, equipment malfunctions, or operational errors. This real-time monitoring capability allows production managers to quickly take measures to adjust and optimize processes, such as adjusting extraction parameters, optimizing well operation procedures, or scheduling equipment maintenance, thereby maximizing production efficiency, minimizing downtime, and improving overall production effectiveness.
[0004] Traditional manual metering methods are not only inefficient but also susceptible to human error, leading to low accuracy. Furthermore, manual operation poses safety risks in complex downhole environments. While some existing automated metering devices improve efficiency to some extent, they still have limitations. For example, some devices have poor adaptability to different liquids, affecting accuracy when dealing with pumping fluids of varying viscosities and impurity levels. Others have complex structures, high maintenance costs, and cannot perform real-time, continuous metering monitoring, failing to provide timely feedback on changes in pumping fluid flow rate, thus hindering precise control of the production process. Therefore, an automated pumping fluid metering and detection device is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

An output pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the valve chamber 203. A flow sensor 208 is fixedly connected to the top of the output pipe 207. The control component 3 includes an extension plate 301. The top of the extension plate 301 is fixedly connected to the loading box 302, and the inside of the loading box 302 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 303. The side of the mounting plate 303 is equipped with a controller 304, a data transmission module 305, and a battery 306. By using the flow sensor 208 and the liquid level sensor 102 together, the flow rate of the pumped liquid can be accurately measured and monitored in real time. At the same time, the measurement accuracy is high, and it is not affected by the viscosity and impurity content of the pumped liquid. It is highly adaptable. The liquid level sensor 102 is connected to the controller 304. When the liquid level reaches the set upper or lower limit, the controller 304 will send a corresponding control signal to realize the automatic start and stop of the metering process.
[0030] The controller 304 employs a high-performance microprocessor and is electrically connected to the flow sensor 208, the variable frequency motor 204, the liquid level sensor 102, and the data transmission module 305. The data transmission module 305 uses wireless transmission. The metering tube 101 has an outlet 104 at its top, which is connected to the liquid pump 201. The valve stem 205 extends into the valve chamber 203, and the valve plate 206 is located inside the valve chamber 203. A touch screen display 307 is fixedly connected to the side of the loading box 302. The side of the device is equipped with operation buttons 308. The controller 304, touch screen 307 and operation buttons 308 are electrically connected.

The metering tube 101 is made of 316L stainless steel.

It also has super high temperature resistance and can work stably at high temperatures, avoiding rapid intergranular corrosion or stress corrosion cracking.
[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the automated liquid pumping and metering detection device designed in this scheme is working, the liquid pump 201 draws the fluid into the delivery pipe 202. The variable frequency motor 204 drives the valve stem 205 and the valve plate 206 to rotate, so as to control the fluid. The flow sensor 208 detects the flow rate of the pumped liquid in real time and transmits the flow signal to the controller 304. At the same time, the liquid level sensor 102 monitors the liquid level in the metering pipe 101 and feeds back the liquid level signal to the controller 304. The controller 304 adjusts the flow rate of the pumped liquid entering the metering pipe 101 by controlling the opening of the valve plate 206 according to the set flow range and liquid level, so as to ensure that the flow sensor 208 accurately measures within its measurement range.
