Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil pipe connection technology, specifically relating to a quick-connect clamp for oil production pipes. Background Technology

[0002] At oilfield sites, pipeline connections need to meet requirements for pressure resistance, temperature resistance, and rapid assembly / disassembly. Publication patent CN215173111U discloses a quick-connect fitting for automotive oil lines, achieving rapid connection through a spliced ​​outer shell, elastic sealing ring, locking block, and insertion rod. However, this structure has the following shortcomings: 1. The spliced ​​outer shell is fixed, and the sealing ring cannot compensate for the compression after aging, resulting in sealing failure; 2. The sealing status indication function requires disassembly for inspection, resulting in low maintenance efficiency; 3. Relying solely on the elasticity of the sealing ring, it will experience significant permanent deformation due to compression after long-term use, leading to a high risk of leakage.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an oil production pipe connection solution that can adjust the sealing pressure, visually display the sealing status, and is easy to install and disassemble. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses a quick-connect clamp for oil production pipes. It has a simple structure and achieves real-time adjustment and visual monitoring of the sealing compression through an axially sliding splicing shell, adjustment mechanism, compression sealing assembly, and sealing status indicator. This solves the problems of unadjustable sealing failure and difficult maintenance in existing technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this application is as follows: A quick-connect clamp for oil production tubing includes a first tubing body, a splicing outer shell fitted onto the outer wall of the first tubing body, the splicing outer shell being axially slidable, and a fixed first connecting surface on the end face of the splicing outer shell, and a second tubing body that abuts against the first tubing body; a positioning boss on the outer wall of the second tubing body, the mating surface of the positioning boss and the first tubing body being detachably provided with a compression sealing assembly; a main sealing ring on the inner wall of the splicing outer shell, the second tubing body and the main sealing ring being sealed together through a second connecting surface; a locking clamp between the splicing outer shell and the second tubing body for quickly locking the two together; and a rotatable adjustment mechanism at the end of the splicing outer shell away from the second tubing body for driving the splicing outer shell to move axially to adjust the compression of the main sealing ring.

[0006] Based on the above technical features, preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a threaded sleeve and an adjusting nut, the threaded sleeve is fixed to the outer wall of the first tube, and the adjusting nut is rotatably connected to the spliced ​​outer shell and threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve.

[0007] Based on the above technical features, preferably, the main sealing ring has a double-layer structure, including an inner fluororubber sealing ring and an outer metal reinforcing ring.

[0008] Based on the above technical features, preferably, the compression sealing assembly includes an elastic pressure ring and a rubber sealing ring, wherein the elastic pressure ring is a wave spring structure that can provide continuous compression force in the axial direction.

[0009] Based on the above technical features, preferably, the locking clamp is a quick-release structure, including two semi-circular retaining rings and a quick-lock buckle. The quick-lock buckle engages with the splicing shell, and the inner side of the retaining ring is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the splicing shell and the positioning boss.

[0010] Based on the above technical features, preferably, the outer wall of the first tube is provided with a color strip indicator mark for indicating the sealing status, which is used to show the degree of compression of the compression sealing component.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application allows the splicing shell to be moved axially by rotating the adjusting nut, thereby adjusting the compression of the sealing component in real time. It can compensate for the decline in sealing performance caused by aging of the sealing ring, temperature changes, or pressure fluctuations without disassembling the clamps or interrupting pipeline operation. Compared with the traditional fixed structure, it significantly extends the sealing life and system operation cycle, and reduces the frequency of downtime maintenance and labor costs. By pressing the sealing assembly and the first connecting surface together, the main sealing ring and the second connecting surface achieve double redundant sealing protection. When the adjusting nut presses the sealing assembly to the left, the main sealing surface is also compressed by the second connecting surface, further improving the sealing performance. Colored indicator marks are set on the outer wall of the first tube, and the end of the spliced ​​shell is used as a pointer. The degree of sealing compression is displayed intuitively by relative displacement. The inspection personnel do not need to disassemble the connecting parts. They can judge whether the seal has failed or needs adjustment simply by observing the position of the shell, which greatly improves the efficiency and safety of the inspection. It is especially suitable for field or high-altitude work environments where disassembly and assembly are inconvenient. The compression sealing assembly adopts a combination structure of wave spring elastic pressure ring and rubber sealing ring. The wave spring provides continuous axial elastic force throughout the entire life cycle, which can dynamically offset the sealing insufficiency caused by permanent deformation and stress relaxation of the rubber sealing ring or main sealing ring, effectively preventing early leakage and sudden sealing failure. The main sealing ring adopts a double-layer composite structure of inner fluororubber and outer metal reinforcing ring, which takes into account corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and extrusion resistance. The fluororubber layer is suitable for corrosive media such as oil and sulfur-containing liquids, while the metal ring enhances the structural stability of the sealing ring under high pressure, effectively preventing the sealing ring from being extruded or crushed. It is suitable for harsh working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature and fluids containing impurities. Attached Figure Description
