Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of live-line working equipment, specifically to a sucker rod seal for live-line oil change rods. Background Technology

[0002] The polished rod plays a crucial role in oil extraction, its main function being to connect the pumping unit and the sucker rod, transmitting power from the pumping unit to extract oil from the ground. Due to prolonged operation in complex environments and corrosive media, polished rods frequently suffer damage and corrosion. Failure to replace them promptly can not only affect oil extraction efficiency but also lead to packing leakage, polished rod breakage, environmental pollution, and increased labor intensity and safety risks for workers.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222731517U discloses a sucker rod sealer for live rod replacement under pressure, relating to the technical field of live operation equipment. This utility model includes a housing and sealing components installed on both sides of the housing. The housing includes a shell with interconnected inner cavities, a lower connecting pipe, and an upper connecting pipe. The lower connecting pipe is coaxially arranged with the tubing and its lower end is connected to a well tee. The shell is fixed to the top of the lower connecting pipe, and the upper connecting pipe is fixed to the top of the shell, with its upper end connected to a well tee. The sealer is installed on the well tee. When replacing the polished rod, the bottom end of the polished rod is raised above the sealer, and the screw is turned to drive the sealing strips to slide, causing the sealing strips on both sides to clamp the sucker rod, thus closing the flow channel in the tubing at the lower end of the polished rod under pressure, thereby facilitating polished rod replacement. This device facilitates polished rod replacement, increases efficiency, saves costs, avoids the discharge of crude oil during pressure release, depressurization, and well washing operations, and reduces the pollution of formation oil and gas and the surface caused by clean water well washing. Traditional seals struggle to achieve reliable seals under pressure, easily leading to leaks of pressurized gas or liquid within the well. Current technologies for replacing polished rods involve cumbersome procedures requiring significant manual intervention, resulting in low efficiency. During live polished rod replacement, issues such as incomplete sealing pose high safety risks, potentially endangering personnel safety and disrupting equipment operation. Traditional seals also struggle to achieve satisfactory seals on tubing of varying sizes or with slight deviations, limiting their applicability. Therefore, a new sucker rod seal for live polished rod replacement is needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Specifically, the oil outlet of the oil tank 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the oil inlet pipe of the oil pump 9 that is furthest from the oil pump 9.

[0022] Specifically, the two sealing blocks 7 are respectively connected to the interior of the two moving grooves 6, and both moving grooves 6 are connected to the lifting groove 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the sealer includes packing, packing box, clamping device, guide ring, blowout preventer assembly, pressure relief hole, connecting parts and auxiliary seals.

[0026] During use, install the seal body 1 at the wellhead of the pumping unit, ensuring a tight connection to prevent leakage; fix the oil outlet of the pumping pump 9 to the end of the diversion pipe 3 furthest from the diversion end, connect the oil inlet of the pumping pump 9 to the inlet pipe, and connect the other end of the inlet pipe to the oil outlet of the oil tank 13; fix the diversion ends of the diversion pipe 3 to the connecting ends 4 on the left and right side walls of the outer surface of the seal body 1; extend the adjacent ends of the two connecting pipes 8 through and into the oil grooves 12 on the left and right sides inside the seal body 1, and fix the opposite ends of the connecting pipes 8 to the ends of the connecting ends 4 furthest from the diversion pipe 3; install all the internal components of the seal body 1, ensuring that the sealing block 7 is movably fitted with the moving groove 6, and that the moving groove 6 is connected to the lifting groove 11; the connecting groove on the slider 5 is movably fitted with the sliding rod, a sealing ring is installed between the slider 5 and the sliding groove, and the spring 14 is connected to the slider 5; check the tightness of each connection to ensure that the seal body 1 is securely installed.

[0027] In summary, this live rod replacement sucker rod sealer uses oil pressure to push the sealing block 7, achieving a tight seal on the tubing and effectively preventing leakage of pressurized gas or liquid from the well. The sealing is completed simply by starting the pump 9, and the sealing block 7 automatically resets after the pump 9 stops, making operation simple and convenient. It allows for rod replacement under pressure, reducing safety risks and ensuring the safety of personnel and normal equipment operation. It automatically adjusts the position of the sealing block 7 according to changes in oil pressure, adapting to tubing of different sizes or with slight deviations.
