[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 10The present invention provides a quick-assembly and disassembly grounding device for a mobile steam injection boiler in an oil field, comprising a grounding wire winding mechanism and a grounding mechanism. The grounding wire winding mechanism winds a grounding wire 4. The fixed end of the grounding wire 4 is used to connect to the steam injection boiler body 2, and the movable end of the grounding wire 4 is connected to the grounding mechanism.

[0044] Furthermore, the grounding mechanism includes a grounding rod 5, and an anchoring mechanism that can be repeatedly opened and closed is provided inside the grounding rod 5. The repeatedly open and closed anchoring mechanism includes a lead screw 17, a sliding plate 19, and a barbed needle 16. A sliding cavity is provided inside the grounding rod 5, and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity is provided with at least two upwardly inclined guide holes 20. The barbed needle 16 is slidably arranged in the guide holes 20, and the barbed needle 16 can only slide and extend along the guide holes 20. A limiting track 22 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding cavity below the guide holes 20. A limiting block is provided on the outer wall of the sliding plate 19, and the limiting block is slidably arranged in the limiting track 22. The tip of the barbed needle 16 points upward, and the tail of the barbed needle 16 slides in contact with the sliding plate 19. The lead screw 17 passes through the upper end of the grounding rod 5 and passes through the sliding plate 19. The lead screw 17 is threadedly connected to the sliding plate 19, and the lead screw 17 is rotatably connected to the grounding rod 5 through a bearing or bushing.

[0045] Specifically, the bottom end of the grounding rod 5 is a conical head. First, the grounding rod 5 is driven into the unhardened soil layer at the outer edge of the site. The grounding rod 5 is made of brass, which has stronger conductivity, larger grounding area, and deeper penetration depth than traditional galvanized pipe grounding wires. After the grounding rod 5 is inserted, the screw 17 is rotated, causing the sliding plate 19 to drive the barbed needle 16 to rise and extend into the soil, which can help fix the grounding rod 5, making it difficult to pull out and achieving reliable grounding of the equipment. The grounding rod 5 is inserted into the unhardened soil layer at the edge of the site, avoiding the low conductivity construction waste layer on the surface of the well site, ensuring that the grounding resistance of the boiler meets the national standard.

[0046] Specifically, the surface of the sliding plate 19 is provided with a radial groove corresponding to the guide hole 20, and the tail of the barb 16 is slidably inserted into the radial groove to restrict the position of the barb 16 and reduce the wear resistance of the barb 16.

[0047] Specifically, a positioning ring 23 is provided on the outer wall of the upper end of the grounding rod 5.

[0048] Specifically, at least two guide holes 20 are evenly distributed around the grounding rod 5.

[0049] Specifically, at least two limiting rails 22 are provided and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the grounding rod 5.

[0050] Specifically, a knob 18 is provided at the top of the lead screw 17 to facilitate tool clamping, and the knob 18 is used to drive the lead screw 17 to rotate.

[0051] Specifically, the grounding rod 5 is divided into an upper rod body 51 and a lower rod body 52 at the lower end of the limiting rail 22. The lower end of the limiting rail 22 is open to facilitate the installation of the sliding plate 19. The upper rod body 51 and the lower rod body 52 are connected by threads. After the tapered head at the bottom of the lower rod body 52 is worn and it is difficult to penetrate the ground, only the lower rod body 52 can be replaced.

[0052] Furthermore, a second connecting lug is provided at the fixed end of the grounding wire 4, and a first connecting lug 10 is welded to the outer wall of the steam injection boiler body 2. The second connecting lug 11 of the grounding wire 4 is connected to the first connecting lug 10 of the steam injection boiler body 2 through a fastening bolt 12 and a first nut 13. A third connecting lug 21 is provided at the movable end of the grounding wire 4, and a threaded rod 14 is fixedly provided at the top end of the grounding rod. The third connecting lug 21 is sleeved on the threaded rod 14, and a second nut 15 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 14 above the third connecting lug 21. The second nut 15 locks the third connecting lug 21.

[0053] Specifically, the lead screw 17 passes through the threaded rod 14, and the threaded rod 14 and the lead screw 17 are concentric.

[0054] Furthermore, the grounding wire winding and unwinding mechanism includes a fixed frame 3, a rotating roller 6, and a crank handle 7. The fixed frame 3 is a U-shaped frame. The rotating roller 6 is rotatably mounted inside the fixed frame 3 via bearings. One end of the rotating roller 6 is fixedly mounted with the crank handle 7, which is located outside the fixed frame 3. The crank handle 7 drives the rotating roller 6 to rotate. The grounding wire 4 is wound around the rotating roller 6. A slot is provided at the end of the rotating roller 6 away from the crank handle 7. The slot corresponds to the fixed frame 3. The grounding wire 4 is partially locked in the slot, and the second connecting ear 11 is close to the slot. The rotating roller 6 is used to wind and unwind the grounding wire 4, facilitating the storage of the grounding wire 4. The end of the grounding wire 4 with the second connecting ear 11 is locked inside the rotating roller 6 and can rotate along with the rotating roller 6. The second connecting ear 11 can only be installed after the grounding wire 4 has been unwound. When it is necessary to wind the grounding wire 4, the second connecting ear 11 must first be removed before winding.

[0055] Specifically, the fixed frame 3 is provided with a screw hole 9 on the end face near the crank handle 7, and a limit bolt 8 is threadedly inserted on the crank handle 7. The limit bolt 8 can be threadedly connected to the screw hole 9. After the grounding wire 4 is retracted, the limit bolt 8 is screwed into the crank handle 7 and into the corresponding screw hole 9 to limit the crank handle 7 and the rotating roller 6.

[0056] Specifically, at least two screw holes 9 are provided and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating roller 6.

[0057] Furthermore, it also includes a base 1, on which the steam injection boiler body 2 is fixedly installed by bolts, and a fixing frame 3 is fixedly installed on the base 1 by bolts.

[0058] Specifically, the steam injection boiler body 2 is an oilfield mobile steam injection boiler.

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] Based on Example 1, this example provides a method for using a quick-release grounding device applied to an oilfield mobile steam injection boiler, including the following steps:

[0061] First, the grounding rod 5 is driven into the unhardened soil layer at the outer edge of the site. After the grounding rod 5 is inserted, the knob 18 is used to drive the lead screw 17 to rotate. The lead screw 17 drives the sliding plate 19 to slide and rise and fall inside the grounding rod 5. The sliding plate 19 drives the barbed needle 16 to extend along the guide hole 20 and insert into the soil, which can help fix the grounding rod 5, making it difficult to pull out the grounding rod 5.

[0062] Next, the second connecting lug 11 of the grounding wire 4 is installed onto the first connecting lug 10 on the steam injection boiler body 2 using the fastening bolt 12 and the first nut 13. Then, the grounding wire 4 is pulled to put the third connecting lug 21 of the grounding wire 4 onto the threaded rod 14 at the top of the grounding rod 5, and the second nut 15 is tightened to fix it, thereby achieving reliable grounding of the equipment. The grounding rod 5 is inserted into the non-hardened soil layer at the edge of the site, avoiding the construction waste layer with low conductivity on the surface of the well site, ensuring that the grounding resistance of the boiler meets the national standard.

[0063] When the steam injection boiler body 2 needs to be moved, firstly, remove the second connecting lug 11 and the third connecting lug 21 at both ends of the grounding wire 4 from the steam injection boiler body 2 and the grounding rod 5 respectively. Then, use the crank handle 7 to drive the rotating roller 6 to rotate. The rotating roller 6 will wind up the grounding wire 4. After the grounding wire 4 is wound up, screw the limiting bolt 8 into the crank handle 7 and into the corresponding screw hole 9 to limit the crank handle 7 and the rotating roller 6. Rotate the knob 18 in the opposite direction to retract the barbed needle 16, pull out the grounding rod 5, and proceed to the next work site.
