Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klemmvorrichtung für Zylinderbuchsen eines Pumpensystems sowie eine Kolben- oder Plungerpumpe zum Fördern von Spülflüssigkeit beim Niederbringen von Bohrungen insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Erdöl- und Erdgasförderung. Dieses Pumpensystem besteht aus einem Pumpenaggregat und einer antreibenden Drehantriebseinrichtung. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung die Verwendung einer Klemmvorrichtung in einer Kolben- oder Plungerpumpe.The invention relates to a clamping device for cylinder liners of a pump system and a piston or plunger pump for conveying rinsing fluid when drilling holes in particular in the field of oil and gas extraction. This pump system consists of a pump unit and a driving rotary drive device. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a clamping device in a piston or plunger pump.

Das Einpressen der Spülung bzw. Bohrspülung durch das Pumpensystem beim Niederbringen von Bohrungen in den Bohrstrang bzw. das Bohrloch verfolgt mehrere Ziele. Die Bohrspülung dient dem Austragen des abgebauten Bohrkleins bzw. Abraums, dem kühlen und schmieren des an der Bohrlochsohle befindlichen Bohrwerkzeuges bzw. dessen Antriebs. Der im Bohrloch erzeugte Druck muss einen Ausgleich mit den im umliegenden Gestein befindlichen Gasen und Flüssigkeiten schaffen.The injection of the mud or drilling fluid through the pump system when drilling holes in the drill string or borehole pursues several goals. The drilling fluid is used for discharging the excavated cuttings or debris, the cooling and lubricating of the drilling tool located at the bottom of the hole or its drive. The pressure generated in the borehole must balance with the gases and liquids in the surrounding rock.

Zum Erzeugen des nötigen Volumenstroms, der im Bereich von 3000 l/min liegt und zum Erzeugen des erforderlichen Druckes, der bis zu 500 bar betragen kann, sind äußerst leistungsstarke Pumpensysteme erforderlich.To generate the required volume flow, which is in the range of 3000 l / min and to generate the required pressure, which can be up to 500 bar, extremely powerful pump systems are required.

Standardmäßig werden Druck und Volumenstrom über die Bewegung eines oder mehrerer Verdränger (Kolben), die einen sich periodisch verändernden, nach außen abgedichteten Arbeitsraum schaffen, erzeugt.By default, pressure and flow are generated by the movement of one or more displacers (pistons) that create a periodically changing, outwardly sealed working space.

Diese Hubkolbenmaschinen zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie die rotierende Bewegung der Drehantriebseinrichtung über einen Kurbeltrieb in eine axiale Bewegung, die den Kolben bewegt, umsetzten. Eine Variation stellt die Ausführung des Kolbens als Plunger da.These reciprocating engines are characterized in that they the rotational movement of the rotary drive device via a crank mechanism in an axial movement that moves the piston, implemented. A variation is the execution of the piston as a plunger there.

Der Arbeitsraum wird dabei durch die Zylinderbuchse und der in ihr verfahrenden Kolben gebildet.The working space is formed by the cylinder liner and the piston moving in it.

Die Zylinderbuchse in ihrer speziellen Anwendung in Spülpumpen weist Besonderheiten im Vergleich zu z.B. zu Verbrennungsmotoren oder anderen Kolbenpumpen auf.The cylinder liner in its particular application in rinse pumps has features compared to e.g. to internal combustion engines or other piston pumps.

Zum einen sind diese Zylinderbuchsen erhöhtem Verschleiß durch das äußerst aggressive und insbesondere durch Feststoffe abrasive Fördermedium, der Bohrspülung, unterzogen.On the one hand, these cylinder liners are subject to increased wear due to the extremely aggressive and, in particular, solids-laden abrasive medium, the drilling fluid.

Zum anderen kann der Druck und Volumenstrom an einer Spülpumpe nicht ausschließlich durch die Variation der Drehzahl, sondern ebenfalls durch die Variation der eingesetzten Kolben eingestellt werden. Dies erfolgt, indem verschiedene Kolben mit passenden Zylinderbuchsen in die Pumpen eingesetzt werden.On the other hand, the pressure and volume flow of a rinsing pump can not be adjusted exclusively by the variation of the speed, but also by the variation of the piston used. This is done by inserting different pistons with matching cylinder liners into the pumps.

Somit stellen sich an die Zylinderbuchse und im Besonderen an ihre Befestigung folgende Anforderungen:Thus, the following requirements apply to the cylinder liner and in particular to their attachment:

Aufgrund von Verschleiß und Ein- bzw. Umstellung des Systems auf andere Drücke bzw. Volumina, muss die Befestigung kurze Rüstzeiten und geringen Arbeitsaufwand ermöglichen.Due to wear and tear and conversion of the system to other pressures or volumes, the attachment must enable short set-up times and low labor input.

Die Zylinderbuchse muss mit einer definierten Anpresskraft gegen die Aufnahme gepresst werden um die Funktion der dortigen Dichtung zu gewährleisten. Beide Komponenten bilden den Hochdruckteilbereich des Systems. Leckagen in diesem Bereich sind sowohl gefährlich als auch kostspielig.The cylinder liner must be pressed with a defined contact force against the receptacle to ensure the function of the local seal. Both components form the high pressure section of the System. Leaks in this area are both dangerous and costly.

Sowohl die Arbeitsumgebung als auch das vorhandenes Werkzeug müssen im Bereich der Bohrindustrie als äußerst rau bzw. grob bezeichnet werden. Darüber hinaus ist die vorhandene Bohrspülung in der Regel aggressiv. Somit stellt sich als weitere Anforderung an eine Befestigungsvorrichtung, das Sie robust und korrosionsbeständig ist.Both the work environment and the existing tool must be considered extremely rough in the drilling industry. In addition, the existing drilling fluid is usually aggressive. Thus, another requirement is a fastener that is robust and corrosion resistant.

Nach dem bekannten Stand der Technik werden Zylinderbuchsen über drei verschiedene Systeme mit dem druckführenden Teil der Spülpumpe, genannt Wasserteil, verbunden.According to the known state of the art, cylinder liners are connected via three different systems to the pressurized part of the rinsing pump, called the water part.

Das erste System weist eine Flügelklemme mit konischer Flanke auf, bei der die Anpresskraft durch einen Konus erbracht wird. Die Anpresskraft wird durch Schrauben erzeugt, die die Klemme um die Zylinderbuchse und die Aufnahme ziehen. Die Klemme liegt mit ihrer geraden Flanke an der Zylinderbuchse an und mit dem konischen Teil auf dem entsprechenden Gegenstück an der Aufnahme.The first system has a conical flank wing clamp in which the contact force is provided by a cone. The contact pressure is generated by screws that pull the clamp around the cylinder liner and the receptacle. The clamp lies with its straight edge on the cylinder liner and with the conical part on the corresponding counterpart on the receptacle.

Die Flügelklemmen haben den großen Nachteil, dass sie sehr unhandlich sind und das Drehmoment nur sehr ungenau über einen Drehmomentschlüssel auf die Zylinderbuchse aufgebracht werden kann. Darüber hinaus streut dieser Faktor durch die konische Fläche stark, diese kann abgenutzt und oder verschmutzt (ölig) sein, welches direkten Einfluss auf die übertragende Anpresskraft hat. Die Montage der Klemme ist äußerst kraftaufwendig und birgt eine gewisse Verletzungsgefahr. Eine Kontrolle der Anpresskraft ist nicht ohne erneutes Anziehen möglich.The wing clamps have the great disadvantage that they are very bulky and the torque can be applied only very inaccurate over a torque wrench on the cylinder liner. In addition, this factor scatters strongly due to the conical surface, which can be worn and / or soiled (oily), which has a direct influence on the transmitted contact force. The assembly of the clamp is extremely power consuming and carries a certain risk of injury. A check of the contact pressure is not possible without renewed tightening.

Das zweite System weist einen hydraulisch vorgespannten Bolzen mit Federklemmung auf. Bei diesem System werden die tragenden Bolzen mit einer hydraulischen Pumpe gelängt oder die hydraulische Kraft wirkt gegen ein separates Federpaket und erzeugt so eine Auslenkung. Das System wird drehmomentfrei verschraubt. Nach Ablassen des Druckes ist die erforderliche Anpresskraft rein mechanisch im System vorhanden.The second system has a hydraulically pre-tensioned pin with spring clamp. In this system, the bearing bolts are elongated with a hydraulic pump or the hydraulic force acts against separate spring package and thus generates a deflection. The system is bolted torque-free. After releasing the pressure, the required contact pressure is purely mechanical in the system.

Das hydraulische System bietet den großen Vorteil einer exakten Anpresskraft der Zylinderbuchse, die auch als Liner bezeichnet wird. Nachteilig ist allerdings, dass Zylinderbuchse und Klemmelement in zwei Kranhüben und somit getrennt hinein gehoben werden müssen. Zusätzlich muss eine Hydraulikpumpe und Hydrauliköl vorhanden sein. Die hydraulischen Komponenten sowie insbesondere der Einfüllstutzen neigen zur Beschädigung oder sind stör- und reparaturanfällig. Aufgrund des komplexeren Aufbaus ist das System ca. doppelt so teuer wie die Flügelklemme mit Lineraufnahme. Eine spätere Kontrolle der Anpresskraft ist auch hier nicht möglich, obwohl aufgrund von Vibration durch den Bohrvorgang bzw. den Spülungsvorgang die Gefahr des Lösens bzw. der Lockerung der Zylinderbuchse respektive des Liners besteht.The hydraulic system offers the great advantage of an exact contact force of the cylinder liner, which is also referred to as a liner. The disadvantage, however, that cylinder liner and clamping element in two crane strokes and thus must be lifted separately into it. In addition, a hydraulic pump and hydraulic oil must be available. The hydraulic components and in particular the filler neck tend to be damaged or susceptible to interference and repair. Due to the more complex structure, the system is about twice as expensive as the wing clamp with liner holder. A subsequent control of the contact force is also not possible here, although there is the risk of loosening or loosening of the cylinder liner or the liner due to vibration through the drilling process or the flushing process.

Das dritte System klemmt die Zylinderbuchse durch ein außen liegendes Gewinde. Die Klemme weist ein Element mit Außengewinde auf, welches über die Zylinderbuchse gestülpt wird und sich an ihr abstützt. Zusammen werden diese Elemente in ein am Wasserteil befestigten Innengewinde eingeschraubt, wobei durch die Steigung des Gewindes die erforderliche Anpresskraft aufgebracht wird.The third system clamps the cylinder liner by an external thread. The clamp has an externally threaded member which is slipped over the cylinder liner and supported against it. Together, these elements are screwed into an inner thread attached to the water part, wherein the required contact force is applied by the pitch of the thread.

Dieses System ist sowohl mechanisch sehr einfach aufgebaut als auch einfach in der Handhabung. Durch das Gewinde wird eine sehr gleichmäßige Anpresskraft auf die Dichtung aufgebracht. Allerdings besteht die einzige aber sehr ungenaue Möglichkeit der Aufbringung von Drehmoment darin, die Mutter mit einem Hammer so lange weiter zu schlagen, wie es die Kraft des Monteurs erlaubt. Die einzige Kontrolle stellt die Leckkontrolle im Betrieb da. Das Gewinde ist darüber hinaus anfällig für Korrosion und Beschädigung, was mit dem einhergehenden Verschleiß zu einer noch größeren Streuung der Anpresskraft führt. Darüber hinaus stellt die Kraft des Monteurs einen kaum zu kalkulierenden Faktor da.This system is both mechanically very simple and easy to use. Through the thread a very uniform contact force is applied to the seal. However, the only but very imprecise way of applying torque is to continue hammering the nut with a hammer for as long as the mechanic's power allows. The only control is the leak control during operation. The thread is also susceptible to corrosion and damage, which, with the concomitant wear to an even greater dispersion of Contact force leads. In addition, the force of the mechanic provides a barely calculable factor.

In der DE 3831909 A1 (D1) ist ein Hydraulikzylinder mit einem Zylinderrohr und einem Endflansch mit Führungsbohrung für eine Kolbenstange offenbart. Der Endflansch ist mit einer Einsteckbuchse in das Zylinderrohr eingesetzt. Das Zylinderrohr ist im Bereich der Einsteckbuchse von einem Spannring umgeben. Ferner sind orthogonal der Längsachse der Führungsbohrung Montagebohrungen zur Aufnahme von Spannschrauben vorgesehen, welche den Spannring, das Zylinderrohr und die Einsteckbuchse durchdringen. Dadurch lässt sich eine Verbindung Endflansch/Zylinderrohr unter Ersparnis von Fertigungskosten im Baukastensystem aus vorgefertigten Einzelteilen einfach und schnell herstellen. Diese Rohr-/Flanschverbindung wird als Pneumatik- oder Hydromotor eingesetzt, insbesondere als Antrieb für Schwenkarme in der Robotertechnik. In einer besonderen Ausbildung ist der Endflansch und die Einsteckbuchse als einteiliges Bauteil ausgebildet beschrieben und weisen gemeinsam die Führungsbohrung für die Kolbenstange auf, wobei in der Führungsbohrung und auf der Einsteckbuchse Dichtungsringe gelagert sind, mit denen eine einwandfreie Abdichtung der Einsteckbuchse mit dem Zylinderrohr und der Kolbenstange in der Kolbenstangenführung erreicht wird. Im Zuge der Montage ist der Spannring mittels eines Zentrierstiftes auf dem Zylinderrohr zum Einbringen der Montagebohrungen gegen Verdrehen gesichert, wozu der Zentrierstift durch das Zylinderrohr hindurch bis in die Einsteckbuchse vordringt. Des Weiteren ist der D1 zu entnehmen, dass ein geschlossener Endflansch ohne Führungsbohrung für die Kolbenstange mit seiner Einsteckbuchse in dem anderen Ende des Zylinderrohres in gleicher Weise wie der Endflansch mit Führungsbohrung für die Kolbenstange eingespannt ist und einen Zylinderdeckel bzw. -boden bildet.In the DE 3831909 A1 (D1) discloses a hydraulic cylinder with a cylinder tube and an end flange with guide bore for a piston rod. The end flange is inserted with a plug-in socket in the cylinder tube. The cylinder tube is surrounded by a clamping ring in the region of the plug-in socket. Further, orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the guide bore mounting holes for receiving clamping screws are provided, which penetrate the clamping ring, the cylinder tube and the plug-in socket. As a result, a connection end flange / cylinder tube can be easily and quickly produced while saving on production costs in the modular system from prefabricated items. This pipe / flange connection is used as a pneumatic or hydraulic motor, in particular as a drive for swing arms in robotics. In a particular embodiment, the end flange and the plug-in socket is described as a one-piece component and together have the guide bore for the piston rod, wherein in the guide bore and on the plug-in sealing rings are mounted with which a perfect seal of the plug-in socket with the cylinder tube and the piston rod is reached in the piston rod guide. In the course of assembly, the clamping ring is secured by means of a centering pin on the cylinder tube for introducing the mounting holes against rotation, for which purpose the centering pin penetrates through the cylinder tube through into the plug-in socket. Furthermore, it can be seen from D1 that a closed end flange without guide bore for the piston rod is clamped with its plug-in socket in the other end of the cylinder tube in the same way as the end flange with guide bore for the piston rod and forms a cylinder cover or floor.

Nachteil der D1 ist die Führung der Kolbenstange in dem Zylinder, die zu einer statisch unbestimmten Lagerung der Kolbenstange führt, wodurch ein erhöhter Verschleiß gleich mehrerer Verschleißteile auftritt. Des Weiteren führt diese Führung zu einem zeitintensiven Kolbenwechsel. Eine schnelle Montage und Demontage des Kolbens und der Zylinderbuchse wird dadurch verhindert. Auch ist die Druckmedienzuführung aufwendig und kann nicht in einer Pumpe mit integrierter Druckmedienzuführung eingesetzt werden. Weiterhin nachteilig ist die orthogonal zur Längsachse der Einsteckbuchse gerichtete Wirkung der beschriebenen Rohr/Flansch-Verbindung.Disadvantage of D1 is the leadership of the piston rod in the cylinder, which leads to a statically indeterminate storage of the piston rod, whereby increased wear equal to several wearing parts occurs. Furthermore, this guide leads to a time-consuming piston change. A quick assembly and disassembly of the piston and the cylinder liner is prevented. Also, the print media supply is expensive and can not be used in a pump with integrated print media supply. Another disadvantage is the orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the plug-in action of the described pipe / flange connection.
