Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas extraction equipment technology, and in particular to a filter cartridge extraction device and a sand remover extraction system. Background Technology
[0002] During shale gas extraction, fracturing is commonly used, resulting in a large amount of sand particles mixed in the produced gas. If these sand particles are not effectively treated, they increase the risk of pipe failure, affecting extraction efficiency and safety. Desanders effectively remove sand particles from the gas, preventing erosion and wear on pipelines and other equipment, and extending equipment lifespan. When the sand content in the desander exceeds its rated discharge capacity, the filter screen will become clogged, causing the gas well to malfunction. In this case, the desander needs to be disassembled and the filter screen cleaned.
[0003] When maintaining or cleaning the sand separator or its filter element, on-site workers often use levers, pry bars, or other tools to hook the crossbar at the top of the filter element and then pry it to loosen the filter element from the sand separator body, allowing them to remove the filter element. Because of the significant resistance between the filter element and the desander, this method of operation requires a large amount of manpower. Furthermore, the levers and pry bars are not connected to the filter element's crossbar, making them prone to loosening during prying and potentially causing safety accidents. Therefore, some desander filter element removal devices have been developed. For example, Chinese Patent CN220613853U discloses a filter element extraction device, including a fixed block with a lead screw on it. A nut is fitted onto the lead screw and positioned above the fixed block. A hook is attached to the lower end of the lead screw and is held on the filter element connecting rod. However, when the filter element is extracted by pulling the connecting rod with the hook, the connecting rod is prone to detaching from the filter element due to the single point of force application. Once the connecting rod detaches, the filter element cannot be extracted. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem in the background art where filter cartridge extraction devices, when using a hook to pull the filter cartridge connecting rod to extract the filter cartridge, have a single point of force application, making it easy for the filter cartridge connecting rod to detach from the filter cartridge after being subjected to force. Once the filter cartridge connecting rod detaches, the filter cartridge cannot be extracted. This invention provides a filter cartridge extraction device and a sand remover extraction system.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a filter cartridge extraction device, comprising a support plate and a lead screw, the lead screw passing through the support plate, a nut being sleeved on the lead screw, the nut abutting against the upper surface of the support plate, and an extraction tool being connected to the bottom of the lead screw;
[0006] It also includes hooks, a plurality of which are circumferentially spaced on the top of the filter element, and the extraction tool is used to suspend the hooks.
[0007] The filter cartridge extraction device of this application involves first installing multiple hooks on the top of the filter cartridge, then suspending the hooks using an extraction tool, and then rotating the nut on the screw. The screw moves slowly upward under the action of the nut, and during the upward movement of the screw, it drives the extraction tool. The extraction tool then moves the filter cartridge upward through the multiple hooks, thereby removing the filter cartridge from the housing of the sand remover. The filter cartridge extraction device of this application has multiple hooks spaced circumferentially on the top of the filter cartridge, thus evenly distributing the force points on the top of the filter cartridge. The extraction tool suspends the multiple hooks, ensuring that the filter cartridge is subjected to uniform force during the extraction process, which is less likely to damage the filter cartridge. Furthermore, the extraction of the filter cartridge using multiple hooks is more stable and avoids the situation where the filter cartridge connecting rod falls off due to force, making it impossible to extract the filter cartridge, as is the case with traditional filter cartridge connecting rod extraction.
[0008] Preferably, the extraction tool includes an extraction rod, and the bottom of the extraction rod is provided with a plurality of horizontally extending suspension rods, each of the suspension rods being used to suspend one of the hooks.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the suspension rod is connected to the extraction rod, and the other end of the suspension rod suspends the pull hook.
[0010] Preferably, the number of hooks is four;
[0011] The number of suspension rods is four.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the extraction rod is detachably connected to the lead screw.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the lead screw has two oppositely arranged ear plates, and the top of the extraction rod is detachably connected to the two ear plates.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the extraction rod is provided with a through hole, and a connecting screw is installed between the ear plates, the connecting screw passing through the through hole.
[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a sand remover extraction system, including a housing, a filter element, and a filter element extraction device as described in this application. The top of the filter element is provided with a plurality of mounting holes spaced apart circumferentially, and the bottom of the hook is threaded into the mounting holes.
[0016] In the sand separator extraction system of this application, multiple hooks are first installed in the mounting holes on the top of the filter element. Then, the extraction tool is used to suspend the multiple hooks. Next, the nut on the screw is rotated, and the screw moves slowly upward under the drive of the nut. During the upward movement of the screw, the extraction tool is driven, and the extraction tool then drives the filter element upward through the multiple hooks, thereby removing the filter element from the housing of the sand separator.
[0017] Preferably, it also includes a protective bolt for threaded connection within the mounting hole.
[0018] Preferably, the protective bolt has a groove on its top.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. The filter cartridge extraction device of this application has multiple hooks installed on the top of the filter cartridge. The extraction tool suspends the multiple hooks, and then the nut on the screw is rotated. The screw moves slowly upward under the drive of the nut. During the upward movement of the screw, the extraction tool is driven, and the extraction tool then drives the filter cartridge upward through the multiple hooks, thereby removing the filter cartridge from the housing of the sand remover. The filter cartridge extraction device of this application has multiple hooks circumferentially spaced on the top of the filter cartridge, so that the force points are evenly distributed on the top of the filter cartridge. Then, the extraction tool suspends the multiple hooks to ensure that the filter cartridge is subjected to uniform force during the extraction process, which is not easy to damage the filter cartridge. Moreover, the extraction of the filter cartridge by multiple hooks is more stable and avoids the situation where the filter cartridge connecting rod falls off under force and the filter cartridge cannot be extracted when the filter cartridge is extracted by traditional means.
[0021] 2. The sand separator extraction system of this application installs multiple hooks in the mounting holes on the top of the filter element. The extraction tool suspends the multiple hooks, and then the nut on the screw is rotated. The screw moves slowly upward under the drive of the nut. During the upward movement of the screw, the extraction tool is driven, and the extraction tool then drives the filter element upward through the multiple hooks, thereby removing the filter element from the housing of the sand separator.

[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a filter cartridge extraction device, including a support plate 1 and a lead screw 2. The lead screw 2 passes through the support plate 1, and a nut 3 is sleeved on the lead screw 2. The nut 3 abuts against the upper surface of the support plate 1, and an extraction tool 4 is connected to the bottom of the lead screw 2.
[0041] It also includes hooks 5, with multiple hooks 5 arranged circumferentially at intervals on the top of the filter element 8, and the extraction tool 4 is used to suspend the hooks 5.
[0042] In this embodiment of the filter cartridge extraction device, multiple hooks 5 are first installed on the top of the filter cartridge 8. Then, the extraction tool 4 is used to suspend the multiple hooks 5. Next, the nut 3 on the screw 2 is rotated, and the screw 2 moves slowly upward under the drive of the nut 3. During the upward movement of the screw 2, the extraction tool 4 is driven, and the extraction tool 4 then drives the filter cartridge 8 upward through the multiple hooks 5, thereby removing the filter cartridge 8 from the housing 7 of the sand remover. In this embodiment of the filter cartridge extraction device, multiple hooks 5 are arranged circumferentially at intervals on the top of the filter cartridge 8, so that the force points are evenly distributed on the top of the filter cartridge 8. Then, the extraction tool 4 is used to suspend the multiple hooks 5 to ensure that the filter cartridge 8 is subjected to uniform force during the extraction process, and it is not easy to damage the filter cartridge 8. Moreover, the extraction of the filter cartridge 8 through multiple hooks 5 is more stable and avoids the situation where the filter cartridge connecting rod falls off under force and the filter cartridge 8 cannot be extracted when the filter cartridge 8 is extracted through the traditional method.
[0043] In this embodiment, the internal thread of the nut 3 matches the external thread on the lead screw 2. The two threads are engaged. When it is necessary to move the lead screw 2 upward, the nut 3 is rotated by a wrench or other tools, so that the lead screw 2 moves slowly upward under the drive of the nut 3.
[0044] In one or more implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the extraction tool 4 includes a vertically arranged extraction rod 41, and a plurality of horizontally extending suspension rods 42 are provided at the bottom of the extraction rod 41. Each suspension rod 42 is used to hook a hook 5.
[0045] The extraction tool 4 includes a vertically arranged extraction rod 41 and multiple horizontally arranged suspension rods 42. One end of each suspension rod 42 is connected to the bottom of the extraction rod 41, and the other end of each suspension rod 42 is used to suspend a hook 5. Multiple hooks 5 are suspended by multiple suspension rods 42 to extract the filter element 8 evenly.
[0046] In this embodiment, multiple suspension rods 42 are arranged circumferentially around the extraction rod 41 and are arranged in a radial pattern, that is, one end of each suspension rod 42 is connected to the bottom of the extraction rod 41, and one end of each suspension rod 42 extends outward.
[0047] In this embodiment, the opening direction of all hooks 5 is set in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
[0048] In optional implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the extraction rod 41 is detachably connected to the lead screw 2. This facilitates the installation and removal of the extraction tool 4.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the lead screw 2 has two ear plates 21 arranged opposite each other, and the top of the extraction rod 41 is detachably connected to the two ear plates 21.

[0051] The connecting screw 6 passes through the two ear plates 21 and the connecting screw 6, and the end of the connecting screw 6 is anchored to the outside of the ear plate 21 by a matching nut.
[0052] The above settings enable a detachable connection between the lead screw 2 and the extraction rod 41, facilitating the installation and removal of the extraction rod 41.
[0053] In optional implementations, such as Figure 9 As shown, the installation process of the extraction tool 4 and the hook 5 is as follows: First, install the hook 5 on the top of the filter element 8, then lower the extraction tool 4 so that the suspension rod 42 of the extraction tool 4 is positioned between the adjacent hooks 5, and then rotate the extraction rod 41 so that the suspension rod 42 is inside the hook of the hook 5, as shown. Figure 3 This allows the extraction tool 4 to be installed in conjunction with the hook 5.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, the support plate 1 has a through hole in the middle, through which the lead screw 2 passes.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, a handle is provided on the top of the lead screw 2 to facilitate the operator to remove the lead screw 2 through the handle.
[0056] In optional implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the support plate 1 is provided with a limiting step 11, which is adapted to the shape of the opening of the housing 7, so that the support plate 1 does not shake after it is installed on the housing 7 of the sand remover.
[0057] When in use, the support plate 1 is placed on the opening of the housing 7, and the outer wall of the limiting step 11 abuts against the inner wall of the opening of the housing 7, so that the support plate 1 is locked on the opening of the housing 7 to ensure that the support plate 1 is not easy to shake during operation.
[0058] In optional implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple mounting holes 81 are spaced apart on the top of the filter element 8. The mounting holes 81 are provided with internal threads, and the bottom of the hook 5 is provided with corresponding external threads. The bottom thread of the hook 5 is connected to the mounting hole 81.
[0059] This embodiment also discloses a method of using a filter cartridge extraction device. When it is necessary to extract the filter cartridge 8, the bottom of the hook 5 is installed in the mounting hole 81, and then the support plate 1 and other components are installed on the housing 7. The hook 5 is suspended by the extraction tool 4. Then, the nut 3 is rotated, and the screw 2 is moved upward by the nut 3. The screw 2 drives the extraction tool 4, and the extraction tool 4 extracts the filter cartridge 8 through the hook 5.

[0067] In use, first install multiple hooks 5 into the mounting holes 81 on the top of the filter element 8, then suspend the multiple hooks 5 using the extraction tool 4, and then rotate the nut 3 on the screw 2. The screw 2 moves slowly upward under the drive of the nut 3. During the upward movement of the screw 2, it drives the extraction tool 4, and the extraction tool 4 then drives the filter element 8 upward through the multiple hooks 5, thereby removing the filter element 8 from the housing 7 of the sand remover.
[0068] In optional implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting hole 81 is provided with an internal thread, and the bottom of the hook 5 is provided with a corresponding external thread. The bottom thread of the hook 5 is connected to the mounting hole 81.

[0070] Furthermore, the top of the protective bolt 9 is provided with a groove 91, which is a groove type that can be detached by a flathead screwdriver, making it easy to install and remove the protective bolt 9 using a flathead screwdriver.
[0071] This embodiment also discloses a method for using a sand remover extraction system.
