Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil pumping unit technology, specifically to a hydraulic unloading tool. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of the four modernizations in oilfields, wireless load sensors have been installed on pumping equipment at production sites. These sensors are typically installed between the polished rod load clamp and the pumping unit suspension cable, enabling real-time data acquisition, monitoring, and online measurement of well production. When a load sensor is damaged or loses power, it needs to be disassembled and replaced. Currently, replacing load sensors on-site involves unloading the pumping unit using square clamps on the wellhead packing box. This method is relatively cumbersome, requires a long well shutdown time, and poses certain safety hazards. Furthermore, the square clamps are prone to damaging the polished rod during use, further increasing equipment costs.

[0003] Announcement No. CN215672104U discloses a U-shaped extraction device for a pumping unit load sensor, comprising a housing, an operating part, a planetary gear part, and a threaded lifting part. The housing is a hollow U-shaped shell structure with its bottom connected to a suspension rope device. The operating part is rotatably connected to the housing. The planetary gear part is located in the middle of the housing and its outer end is meshed with the operating part. The interior of the planetary gear part is threadedly connected to the threaded lifting part to form a threaded jack structure. The upper part of the threaded lifting part is slidably connected to the housing and its top is connected to a clamp.

[0004] The existing technology has only one lifting thread on one side, which cannot apply force evenly to the clamp and cannot ensure the safe removal of the load sensor.

[0005] Announcement No. CN215148623U discloses a load sensor replacement device, which consists of three parts: an improved square clip, an adjustable support column, and a hydraulic unit. The adjustable support column includes support column one and support column two. The tail ends of support column one and support column two are respectively threaded to the top left and right sides of the front end of the hydraulic unit. The improved square clip is inserted into the notches at the top of support column one and support column two. An oil filling cap and a pressure relief handle are provided on the top left side of the control box, and a pressure lever is provided on the right side of the hydraulic unit. Handles one and two are welded to the bottom of the rear end of the hydraulic unit.

[0006] The existing technology only has one hydraulic cylinder on one side, which cannot apply force evenly to the clamp and cannot ensure the safe removal of the load sensor.

[0007] Announcement No. CN211388585U discloses a U-shaped removal device for a pumping unit load sensor. The device includes a load sensor, with a U-shaped hydraulic jack mounted on its outer side. The height of the load sensor is 1-2 cm greater than the height of the U-shaped hydraulic jack. A suspension rope device is located at the bottom of the U-shaped hydraulic jack. A hydraulic jack is positioned between the clamp and the suspension rope device, allowing the clamp and oil tubing to be lifted upwards, enabling the load sensor to be removed from between the clamp and the suspension rope device for inspection and maintenance.

[0008] The existing technology only has one hydraulic cylinder on one side, which cannot apply force evenly to the clamp and cannot ensure the safe removal of the load sensor.

[0009] In summary, the technical solutions, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the above-disclosed technologies are all different from those of this utility model. For more technical features, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of this utility model, the above-disclosed technical documents do not provide any technical inspiration.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3The hydraulic unloading tool provided by this utility model includes a U-shaped body 1, which includes a fork 101, an operating body 102, and a fork 2 103. The fork 101 and fork 2 103 are respectively equipped with lifting mechanisms, each including two hydraulic cylinders 11. The movable ends of the hydraulic cylinders 11 extend beyond the upper end of the U-shaped body 1, and the movable ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 11 are connected to a support plate 12. A hydraulic cylinder control assembly is provided on the operating body 102. In use, the U-shaped body 1 is inserted between the lower plate of the suspension device and the square clamp, so that the U-shaped body partially encloses the load sensor on the outside. Then, the movable ends of the hydraulic cylinders 11 are extended through the hydraulic cylinder control assembly, pushing the support plate 12 upward, widening the distance between the upper and lower contact surfaces of the load sensor, thus unloading the load sensor. After removing the old load sensor and replacing it with a new one, the support plate 12 is retracted, the load sensor is loaded, and the U-shaped body 1 is removed, thus realizing the disassembly and replacement of the load sensor.

[0039] Specifically, the two hydraulic cylinders of the lifting mechanism are symmetrically arranged on the fork body 101 or the fork body 103, and the support plate 12 is connected to the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder by hexagonal bolts.

[0040] Specifically, the fork body 101 and fork body 2 103 are vertical rectangular bodies, and the operating body 102 is a horizontal rectangular body. The fork body 101, fork body 2 103 and operating body 102 are all spliced ​​together by steel plates. The steel plates are welded together to form an open shape at the top, and the upper sealing steel plate is installed by screws to facilitate disassembly, maintenance and repair.

[0041] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder control assembly includes an oil tank 41, a manual pump 42, and a pressure relief valve 43. The oil tank 41, manual pump 42, and pressure relief valve 43 are all located inside the operating body 102. The oil outlet of the manual pump 42 is connected to the cylinder body of all hydraulic cylinders 11, the pressure relief valve 43 is connected to the cylinder body of all hydraulic cylinders 11, the oil suction port of the manual pump 42 is connected to the oil tank 41, and the pressure relief valve 43 is connected to the oil tank 41. Hydraulic oil is pumped from the oil tank 41 into the hydraulic cylinders 11 via the manual pump 42 for lifting. After the operation is completed, the oil flows back to the oil tank via the pressure relief valve 43.

[0042] Specifically, the manual pump 42 is a self-resetting piston pump. The piston rod of the manual pump 42 extends out of the operating body 102. A reciprocating drive mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the operating body 102. The reciprocating drive mechanism drives the piston rod to press the hydraulic oil in the manual pump 42 out to the hydraulic cylinder 11. The spring causes the piston rod to automatically reset.

[0043] Specifically, the pressure relief valve 43 is a manual two-position two-way valve, including a blocking position and a conducting position, and the manual lever 14 of the pressure relief valve 43 is located outside the operating body 102.

[0044] Specifically, the reciprocating drive mechanism includes a cam 15, which is rotatably connected to the operating body 102 via a rotating shaft and two bearings with seats. The rotating shaft is connected to a handle 151, and the piston rod end of the manual pump 42 contacts the cam 15. Rotating the handle 151 compresses the piston rod of the manual pump 42 through the far point of the cam 15, and the piston rod automatically resets through the near point of the cam 15 and the spring of the manual pump 42.

[0045] Specifically, a pressure ball 16 is fixedly connected to the free end of the pressure rod 14, which makes it convenient for the user to press the pressure rod 14 to release pressure. A pressure ball 2 17 is fixedly connected to the free end of the handle in the reciprocating drive mechanism, which makes it convenient for the user to press the reciprocating drive mechanism.

[0046] Specifically, a level gauge 31 is provided on the side wall of the operating body 102, and the level gauge 31 is connected to the oil tank.

[0047] More specifically, the side wall of the operating body 102 is provided with a second side groove 3, the level gauge 31 is installed in the second side groove 3, the lower surface of the second side groove 3 is provided with a connecting hole, the pipeline of the level gauge 31 is connected to the oil tank through the connecting hole, and the opening of the second side groove 3 is provided with a transparent protective cover 32 to protect the level gauge 31.

[0048] Specifically, the upper end of the operating body 102 is provided with a liquid inlet 13 that communicates with the oil tank. The top of the liquid inlet 13 is detachably connected with a liquid inlet cap by a bolt, and hydraulic oil is poured into the oil tank through the liquid inlet 13.

[0049] The hydraulic cylinder 11 acts as a jack, pushing upward to open the part that clamps the load sensor, thereby unloading the load.

[0050] For the commonly used manual testing three-piece set, this utility model can directly use the three-piece set to complete the unloading; for oil wells without a testing three-piece set, the installation position of the load sensor can be simply improved, and the upper and lower plates of the suspension rope can be used for unloading.

[0051] In operation, first stop the pumping unit near the bottom dead center position, then remove the cover screws and cover plate of the original load sensor. Press the lever 14 of the pressure relief valve 43 to open the pressure relief valve, allowing the hydraulic oil to flow back to the oil tank 41, and lower the hydraulic cylinder 11 to the lower limit position. Insert the unloading tool into both sides of the sensor from the direction of the load sensor cover plate, then close the pressure relief valve 43. By reciprocating the crank 151 of the oscillating cam 15, the manual pump 43 continuously pressurizes the hydraulic cylinder, causing the hydraulic cylinder 11 to rise until it successfully lifts the pressure plate above the load sensor. At this point, the old load sensor can be removed from the unloading tool and replaced with the new sensor. After replacement, press the lever 14 of the pressure relief valve 42 to open the pressure relief valve 42, causing the hydraulic cylinder 11 to retract. Remove the unloading tool, and finally install the baffle of the new load sensor and tighten the fixing screws. After completing the above operations, start the pumping unit to resume normal production.

[0052] This embodiment employs a hydraulic unloading method, which avoids damage to the polished rod caused by using square clamps for unloading. Damage to the polished rod can lead to leaks in the wellhead seal, posing environmental risks. Furthermore, prolonged use of square clamps for unloading can result in severe damage to the polished rod, necessitating replacement and incurring costs. This embodiment uses hydraulic unloading, allowing direct installation and removal of the load sensor, simplifying the operation process, reducing operation time, and eliminating safety hazards. Due to its small size and weight of only 3 kg, it can be operated by a single person, making it safer and more reliable, increasing work efficiency by 60%, and yielding significant economic and social benefits.

[0053] Example 2:

[0054] Based on Embodiment 1, the operating body 102 of the U-shaped body 1 in this embodiment is provided with a handle 22. The operating body 102 is provided with handles 22 on two side walls parallel to the direction of the fork. The handles 22 extend obliquely downward to facilitate lifting the hydraulic unloading tool by the handle.

[0055] Specifically, the level gauge 31 and the reciprocating drive mechanism are arranged on the side wall of the operating body 102 parallel to the direction of the fork body. The manual pump 42 is installed on the inner wall of the operating body 102 corresponding to the side of the reciprocating drive mechanism. The piston rod of the manual pump 42 extends out of the operating body 102. The pressure rod 14 of the pressure relief valve 43 is installed on the upper end face of the operating body 102.

[0056] Specifically, the operating body 1022 has a side groove 2 symmetrically arranged on the side wall parallel to the direction of the fork body. The side groove 2 is detachably provided with an installation plate 21. The installation plate 21 is connected to the handle 22. The outer ring of the handle 22 is connected with an anti-slip sleeve 23 to prevent the user from slipping when picking up the handle 22.

[0057] More specifically, the mounting plate 21 is an L-shaped plate, and the mounting plate 21 is connected to the side groove 2 by screws. The mounting plate 21 is connected to the U-shaped seat by screws on the plate perpendicular to the groove 2. The U-shaped seat is connected to the handle 22 by a circumferential locking key, such as by a key or spline with an elongated cross-section. Using an elongated cross-section key makes the handle angle unique, while using a spline allows the handle to be produced at preset angles.
