The decelerator 12 is two grades of tapered cylindrical gear reduction units.
Operation principle:
Action of the present utility model can be divided into Pumping action and counterweight acting acts two parts.
Pumping action:Motor 11 drives decelerator 12 to rotate by V belt translation, and carries out primary speed-down, through slowing down Exported, driven when main shaft 13 is rotated forward in big crank 14 and planetary gear train 17 by main shaft 13 after two-stage gear reduction in device 12 Sun gear rotate forward simultaneously, make 20 being moved in a circle around wheel around main shaft 13 on big crank 14, flat wires pulled around wheel 20 Rope 10 does cycle movement, then changes the direction of motion by two fixed pulleys 9 in frame 22, makes the end of band rope 10 Point pumps, and pulls sucker rod to complete Pumping action.
Counterweight acting is acted:Sun gear when main shaft 13 is rotated forward in drive big crank 14 and planetary gear train 17 is simultaneously Rotate forward, ring gear is inverted when sun gear is rotated forward, ring gear drives small crank 15 to invert by synchronous belt drive mechanism 18, small The reversion of crank 15 drives balancing weight 16 to invert, and the power that the inertia force of balancing weight 16 is acted on wheel 20 with band rope 10 is into one Fixed angle, θ, (90 ° of 180 ° of < θ <) is done work by the torque-variable of the opposing connection wheel 20 of balancing weight 16, reduces the output of motor 11 Power, completes counterweight acting action, realizes the purpose of energy-conservation.
To make balancing weight 16 reach the best use of effect, balancing weight 16 need to be kept identical with the period of motion around wheel 20, i.e., Identical with the rotating speed size of main shaft 13 around wheel shaft 19, direction of rotation is opposite.
To eliminate the influence revolved round the sun around wheel shaft 19 around main shaft 13, will be fixed around the position of wheel shaft 19, main shaft 13 with around wheel shaft 19 The driving pulley and planetary gear train 17 of synchronous belt drive mechanism 18 are designed by 1: 2 gearratio.
To make balancing weight 16 reach optimal booster action, the F that makes a concerted effort is applied by band rope 10 in main shaft 13LoadMake a concerted effort When square is maximum, should make balancing weight 16 moves to the end points farthest from main shaft 13, makes now torque of the balancing weight 16 to main shaft 13 It is maximum.Obviously, as F with joint effortsLoadWhen vertical with big crank 14, the torque suffered by main shaft 13 is maximum, and now small crank 15 should be in Horizontal level.It follows that during initial position, there is relative position angle between small crank 15 and big crank 14It is computed,(as shown in figure 11).Big crank 14, small crank 15 and balancing weight 16 are considered as rigid body, ignoring generation moment of torsion In the case of can will act at rigid body power translation analyzed.The inertia force that balancing weight 16 is produced is by balancing weight 16 weight itself Three power synthesis of tangential force that power and large and small crank 14,15 rotate are obtained.During initial position as shown in figure 11, F1For Daqu Handle 14 drives the tangential force that balancing weight 16 is produced, F2The tangential force that balancing weight 16 is produced is driven for small crank 15, mg is balancing weight 16 self gravitations.Inertia force F during initial position is obtained according to the parallelogram law of powerInertia, move to and be around the postscript of wheel shaft 19 F′Load.The similarly inertia force (as shown in Figure 8) of any time.
The load of motor 11 depends on output torque, and output torque depends on main shaft torque, and main shaft torque depends on big The effective torque of crank, because big crank length is certain, therefore the size that motor 11 is loaded directly is acted on around wheel 19 by it On power determine, in the case of no small crank and counterweight, around wheel 19 on FLoadNeed completely by moving that motor 11 is provided Power is offset, after having small crank 15 and a balancing weight 16, the F on wheel 19LoadThe power provided by motor 11 and the He of small crank 15 The gravity of balancing weight 16 and the inertia force of motion are offset.
Oil pumping machine oil pumping action is by driving band ropes 10 to realize that therefore balancing weight 16 is to system supplymentary around wheel 19 Acting can be reduced to opposing connection wheel 19 and do work.Moved in a circle because balancing weight 16 is mounted on small crank 15, with small crank The change of 15 anglecs of rotation, balancing weight 16 and the effective torque also moment change between wheel 19.During upstroke, make a concerted effort FLoadThe power acted on wheel 19 is positive force, during this, the power that motor 11 is acted on wheel 19 by big crank 14 Direction is negative direction, because balancing weight 16 is supplied to the inertia force around 19 part negative directions of wheel, so as to play reduction motor 11 The purpose of acting.During down stroke, F with joint effortsLoadThe power acted on wheel 19 is positive force, and now motor 11 passes through The power that big crank 14 is acted on wheel 19 is also positive force, and the inertia force for the negative direction that balancing weight 16 is provided can offset big portion Division power FLoadActive force, greatly reduces reaction of the load force to motor 11.Meanwhile, the inertia force energy that balancing weight 16 is provided Enough make to pass through upper bottom dead centre around wheel.
Design example
It is designed by taking grand celebration field operations parameter as an example, oil well design parameter is:Polished rod load:50kN;Working line Journey:3m;Jig frequency:6 times/min;The period of motion:10s.It is computed, two pulley rooms distance is 7300mm in the utility model frame, Big crank length is 1825mm, small crank length 1300mm, and breed quality 1158kg, and required motor power (output) is 4kw.At present Some oil pumpers under equal operating mode, according to self structure it is different, it is necessary to motor power (output) be 5~18.5kw.Therefore The utility model can reduce the electric energy loss during oil exploitation.
Preferred embodiment of the present utility model is the foregoing is only, the utility model is not limited to, for this For the technical staff in field, the utility model can have various modifications and variations.It is all it is of the present utility model spirit and principle Within, any modification, equivalent substitution and improvements made etc. should be included within protection domain of the present utility model.
