Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil extraction equipment, and in particular relates to a welded balance block for a beam pumping unit. Background Technology

[0002] Beam pumping units are one of the main pieces of equipment for crude oil extraction in oil fields, and the vast majority require counterweights to be installed on the crankshaft. Currently, the counterweights used are all made of gray cast iron. See appendix for details. Figure 4 The balance block 8 is generally a semi-fan-shaped surface with two symmetrical concave-convex structures at the bottom, which are bolted to the crank of the pumping unit. The weight of the cast balance block is 1500kg, with the center of gravity at x=400, y=620, z=100. Several problems exist with the cast balance block: 1) Due to the large area and relatively small thickness of the balance block, uneven flow of molten iron occurs during casting, making the bolted connection to the crank a weak point. If a casting defect occurs here, it will break. Because welding repair of cast iron is complex, the entire balance block is scrapped; 2) The surface quality of large castings is difficult to guarantee, and casting defects are always present. Subsequent repair methods involve puttying; 3) Casting requires large equipment, countersinking of bolted connections is difficult, and machining the mating surface with the crank is costly; 4) The casting process is complex, has high environmental protection requirements, and the overall cost is high.

The core plate includes a first side wall 2-1, a top surface 2-3, a second side wall 2-4, a left concave boss 2-5, a right concave boss 2-6, and a rectangular connecting platform 2-7. The second side wall is arc-shaped, and the first side wall is connected to the top surface via an arc-shaped side surface 2-2. The top surface and the second side wall are arc-shaped, forming a semi-fan-shaped surface. The lower part of the fan-shaped surface is symmetrically connected to the left and right concave bosses. The left and right concave bosses are connected to the rectangular connecting platform, forming an integral core plate main structure. Several core plate main bodies are welded together. The core plate main body is provided with several lifting holes 6, and the rectangular connecting platform has fastening bolt holes 7 at both ends. In this embodiment, the number of lifting holes is 3.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the core board is made of A3 hot-rolled steel plate laser-cut into a plate with a thickness of 40~50mm.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a sidewall edging cover plate 1 is fixedly attached to the side surface of the core board body. The cut surfaces around the core board are covered with steel plates. The sidewall edging cover plate is made of steel strips pre-pressed to have the same shape as the outer contour of the core board body. It is directly fitted onto the outer contour of the core board body and then welded along the outer contour, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the core board body is composed of 4 to 6 core boards stacked and fixed together to form an integral structure. This embodiment uses 5 core boards stacked and fixed together; the total thickness of the core board body is 200mm.

The lifting hole is made of a prefabricated arc-shaped steel sleeve welded together, which effectively protects the wire rope and sling during hoisting and reduces the possibility of wire rope breakage or sling damage. After the steel sleeve 3 passes through the lifting hole of the multi-layer core board, its two ends are welded to the surface of the core board body. The steel sleeve 3 also serves as a positioning element when the multi-layer core boards are stacked.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the rectangular connecting platform of the core plate body has a crank connecting hole 5 at its center. The crank connecting hole includes an arc platform 5-1 and a bolt through hole 5-2. The arc platform is symmetrically positioned on the upper and lower surfaces of the core plate body, and the bolt through hole is located at the center of the arc platform. A bolt sleeve is fixedly connected within the bolt through hole. The crank connecting hole 5 is used to connect with the dogtooth connecting plate of the crank. (The dogtooth connecting plate is a common term in the oilfield extraction industry and is not directly related to the structure of this utility model, so it will not be described further.) The crank connecting hole in this embodiment is 80mm thick. Specific construction process A 30-50mm thick sheet is laser-cut into the main shape of the balance block, called the core plate. Depending on the weight requirements, 4-6 core plates are stacked and welded together, using intermittent welding around the perimeter.
