[0002] A sand removal pump is an industrial device used to remove sand accumulated in oil and gas wells. It is mainly used in well workover operations in the fields of oil and coalbed methane extraction. It is a downhole tool used to remove sand accumulated in the wellbore. It sucks up the sand and brings it to the surface through reciprocating motion. Most deep coalbed methane horizontal wells have an L-shaped structure, that is, a structure with a vertical section first and then a horizontal section. Since the length of each horizontal section of the wellbore is not consistent, it is impossible to determine where the coal sand and other materials are accumulated in the horizontal section. Traditional sand removal pumps are fixed according to the length and height of the wellbore to match the wellbore, but they cannot be adapted to sand removal in wellbores of different lengths, resulting in low flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0019] A sand-removing pump device for sand removal in deep coalbed methane horizontal wells includes an arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1. A piston cylinder 2 and an elastic telescopic tube 3 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1, respectively. A pen tip 4 is connected to the other end of the elastic telescopic tube 3. The elastic telescopic tube 3 can achieve telescopic function through a telescopic rod 5. Support blocks 13 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom end of the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1 and the outer wall of the end of the pen tip 4. Several rollers 14 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the support block 13 at the end of the pen tip 4. A waterproof motor 15 is installed at the top of the support block 13 on the outer wall of the bottom end of the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1 through a mounting frame. The telescopic rod 5 is installed on the output end of the waterproof motor 15. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top side wall of the support block 13 at the end of the pen tip 4.

[0020] It also includes an L-shaped wellbore 12, and the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1 is also an L-shaped structure. Before the sand pump is put into the L-shaped wellbore 12, the elastic telescopic pipe 3 is compressed. Then the sand pump is put into the L-shaped wellbore 12. When the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1 contacts the bottom wall of the L-shaped wellbore 12, it stops. The clamp 11 is detachably installed on the top wellhead of the L-shaped wellbore 12. The clamp 11 is installed on the top of the L-shaped wellbore 12.

[0021] An external controller is installed on the device. The waterproof motor 15 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller can control the start and stop of the waterproof motor 15. When the waterproof motor 15 is started, it drives the telescopic rod 5 to extend, which moves the support block 13 at the end of the pen tip 4 forward and closer to the sand pile. At the same time, the elastic telescopic tube 3 also extends. The end of the pen tip 4 is equipped with a first one-way valve 8. When the first one-way valve 8 is opened, since the two ends of the elastic telescopic tube 3 are respectively connected to the bottom end of the arc-shaped sand storage tube 1 and the end of the pen tip 4, and several sand inlets 16 are provided through the outer wall of the tip of the pen tip 4, when the first one-way valve 8 is opened, when the pen tip is close to the sand pile, the piston rod 6 moves upward in the piston cylinder 2. The sand pile enters the pen tip 4 through the several sand inlets 16 and enters the elastic telescopic tube 3 along the first one-way valve 8 and is finally stored in the arc-shaped sand storage tube 1. The first one-way valve 8 is then closed.

[0022] A piston column 6 is movably installed inside the piston cylinder 2, and a sand discharge pipe 7 is connected to the piston cylinder 2.

The top of the piston column 6 and the top of the sand discharge pipe 7 are both installed on the clamp 11.

[0023] When the second one-way valve 9 is opened, the piston rod 6 moves up and down inside the piston cylinder 2, which can transport the mortar in the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1 to the sand discharge pipe 7 through reciprocating motion. The top side wall of the piston cylinder 2 is provided with a sand discharge port 20, which is connected to the bottom end of the sand discharge pipe 7. The mortar pumped up enters the sand discharge pipe 7 through the sand discharge port 20, and after passing through the second one-way valve 9, it enters the interior of the filter joint 10. The filter joint 10 is a double-port joint, and both ends can be connected to the ports of the sand discharge pipe 7 respectively. The filter joint 10 is provided with a filter screen inside, which can filter the mortar. The top end of the sand discharge pipe 7 is installed on the clamp 11, and a water pipe joint 21 is fixedly installed on its top end, which can be connected to other water pipes.

[0024] The bottom end of the piston cylinder 2 is connected to the top end of the arc-shaped sand storage pipe 1. The top end of the clamp 11 is equipped with a drive cylinder 17 through a mounting bracket. The piston column 6 includes a piston head 18 and a pull rod 19. The piston head 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 2. The bottom end of the pull rod 19 is fixedly set on the top wall of the piston head 18. The top end of the pull rod 19 passes through the top wall of the piston cylinder 2 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive cylinder 17.

[0025] The drive cylinder 17 drives the pull rod 19 to move up and down reciprocally, which in turn drives the piston head 18 to move up and down reciprocally inside the piston cylinder 2, thereby driving the mortar to be pumped into the sand discharge pipe 7.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
