Definitions
- the present invention is in the field of progressive cavity pumps used in hydrocarbon pumping or deep well gas plants.
- the present invention relates to a stator element of a progressive cavity pump and to a progressive cavity pump comprising one or more such stator elements.
- Progressive cavity pumps include a stator and a helical rotor inserted into the stator.
- the stator is generally constituted by a reinforcing tube made from a rigid material, typically metallic or composite.
- the reinforcing tube is generally cylindrical and has a constant thickness.
- An elastomer liner is attached to the inside of this reinforcing tube by means of a glue-type adhesive system.
- This liner has a longitudinal helical recess receiving the helical rotor.
- the helical rotor has a lobe less than the stator so that at the interface between the rotor and the stator sealed cavities are created. The rotation of the rotor in the stator causes the displacement of these cavities and thus allows a fluid to be pumped.
- the elastomeric lining undergoes significant forces in the axial and orthoradial directions.
- the bonding system applied between the reinforcing tube and the liner can be damaged, detached from the wall internal reinforcement tube and sometimes even detached or expelled from the reinforcing tube.
- the delamination is particularly present at the ends of the reinforcing tubes, at the point where the elastomer liner stops permitting infiltration of the pumped fluid at the interface between the reinforcing tube and the liner.
- Such a defect can result in complete destruction of the stator of the pump and loss of function when the liner is totally or partially disengaged from the inner wall of the reinforcing tube.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a stator element having an elastomeric liner having a greater resistance to the forces, and in particular capable of withstanding both the orthoradial forces and the axial forces.

- An armature tube having a longitudinal axis A-A, an inner face and an outer face, and
- the reinforcing tube has a substantially constant thickness and in that said portion of the reinforcing tube is deformed so that it comprises at least a first relief and a second relief, the first relief having the shape of a helical strip having a pitch to the right with respect to the longitudinal axis AA of the reinforcing tube, the second relief having the shape of a helical strip having a pitch to the left with respect to the longitudinal axis AA of the reinforcing tube, the first relief and the second relief joining in at least one section.
- the stator element comprises one or more of the following characteristics:
- the first relief and the second relief are joined in several sections, and wherein the intermediate areas between the first relief and the second relief have a shape of a polygon at least order 3.
- the first relief and the second relief form grooves on the outer face of the portion of the reinforcing tube.
- the elastomer liner has an outer face fixed to the inner face of the reinforcing tube and an inner face of helical shape having a pitch.

- the armature tube has at each end a cylindrical portion.
- the stator element comprises at least one axial retaining ring fixed on the cylindrical portion of the stator element, said retaining ring having a generally U-shaped radial section capable of enclosing a portion of a longitudinal end of the liner. elastomer.
- At least one inner face of an axial branch of the retaining ring has protrusions in the form of sawtooth.
- the invention also relates to a progressive cavity pump comprising:
- tubular section fitted, on one side, in said cylindrical portion of the first stator element and, on the other side, in said cylindrical portion of the second stator element, said tubular section being supported, on one side, against the retaining ring of the first stator element and, on the other side, against the retaining ring of the second stator element, said section tubular forming a stop adapted to prevent the axial displacement of the retaining rings.
- the progressive cavity pump comprises one or more of the following characteristics:
- the pump further comprises a tubular nozzle having a threaded portion and an opposite portion fitted into another cylindrical portion of the second stator element, said tubular tip forming a stop preventing the axial displacement of the retaining ring.

- the second and the third stator elements according to the first embodiment are identical to the first stator element and will not be described in detail.
- the reliefs consist of protrusions which extend towards the outside of the anchoring tube and which form recesses on the side of the inner face of the reinforcing tube 20.
- the reinforcing tube 20 is deformed so that it comprises a number of reliefs greater than two.
- the pitch of the helicoid of the first relief 28 and the pitch of the helicoid of the second relief 30 is substantially equal to or greater than the length of the reinforcing tube 20 so that the first relief 28 and the second relief 30 join in a single section 32.
- the zones 38 positioned between the first band and the second band have the shape of a polygon of order 3.
- FIG. 5 represents a first 4 and a second 6 stator element partially assembled to the tubular section 10.
