MOTOR-DRIVE ZN PUMPING APPARATUS FOR WELLS Filed-July 28, 1947 BY v . ATTORNEY.
Patented Jan. 23, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MOTOR-DRIVIFE N PUMPING APPARATUS 9 Claims.
The present invention relates in general to liquid pumping systems and apparatus, and it deals more particularly with submergible electric motor-driven pumping units.
A broad object of the invention is to provide an efiicient and powerful electrically-driven unit fully protected against intrusion of the fluid in which the unit is submerged, the component parts of which are organized and assembled in an improved way to simplify construction and thus minimize expense without sacrificin anything in the way of effective operation.
A subsidiary object is to provide an enclosed single-phase induction motor having two windings, one of which has connected thereto phaseshifting capacitances disposed in the enclosure at one end of the motor shaft while the alternating current supply leads for the windings enter the enclosure at a point adjacent the opposite end oi the shaft. Toward the achievement of the latter objective, an important feature resides in the use of a sectionalized winding in an induction motor with phase-shifting capacitances connected serially between the sections thereof.
Another object of the invention is to provide a centrifugal switch of improved construction and novel relationship to the other elements of my motor-unit.
A further object is to provide a bufiered pumping system having an air dome connected thereto to absorb sudden changes in pressure, together with apparatus for automatically replenishing the air in the dome in order to maintain the head of air despite losses such as may occur, for example, due to the air gradually dissolving in the liquid'to which it is exposed.
Other objects and features will appear in the course of the following description of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of the specification and are to be read in conJunction therewith and in which like reference numerals are employed to indicate like parts of the various views,
Fig. 1 shows my pump in elevation, together v Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the motor circuit.
Referring more particularly to Fig. 2, the numeral l0 identifies a multistage centrifugal pumping unit having intake ports H and an upwardly tapered discharge port 12. Its flanged base I3 is secured by bolts It to the upper end of the motor unit about to be described, and a noncylindrical tip on its impeller shaft 15 fits into a correspondingly shaped socket on the upper end of the motor shaft l6 whereby motor torque is transmitted to the pump shaft in order to drive liquid upwardly through the pump when the motor is running.
The motor housing or stator casing is made up of cylindrical sections l8, I9, 20 and 2| threaded so that they may be screwed end-to-end as shown, a cap 22 being screwed onto the uppermost section and an apertured bottom plate 23 being fastened to the lowermost section by a retaining ring 24. Sections 20 and 2| are joined together by a threaded ring 26 having inwardly extending radial arms 21 connecting with and supporting the collar 28. Collar 28 in turn carries the lower bearing 29 of the rotor of the motor.
The motor is of the single phase induction type having a squirrel-cage rotor made up of laminations' 3| slotted to receive longitudinal inductor rods 32, the rods being electrically connected at their upper and lower ends by short circuiting rings 33. Stator laminations 34 are rigidly supported in section 19 of the motor housing and have vertically aligned slots for receiving field windings 35. The electrical conductors 31 via which the windings receive their energy enter the motor housing through cap 22, the entrance being sealed by a packing nut 38 and gland 39.
It will be noted that for tre sake of compactness the upper end of collar 28 extends into the space encircled by the lower end of the windings,
and there supports the lower bearing of the rotor; similarly, the bushing 40 at th upper end of the rotor is supported by a rigid guide tube 4| which extends downwardly from cap 22 into the space encircled by the upper ends of the windings. Above the bushing in the tube there is a fluid seal 43 which may be of any suitable form. An insulating sleeve 44 encircles the tube ll and at the bottom of the tube there is a radially ex tending annular lead guard 45.
The motor windings 45 comprise two separate field windings 35a and 35b arranged in the slots of the stator, one of the windings being connected directly across the power line as shown schematically in Fig. 4 while the other is divided mined speed by the opening of contact 41 thereby to improve operating torque; as indicated in Fig. 4 contact 41 normally short circuits part of the series connected capacitance in series with wind-- inc lib.
In the space encircled by the stationary bearing support collar 28 and secured to the lower extremity of the motor shaft by a cotter pin 60 is an inverted cup 6|, the lower end of which is closed by a centrally apertured disk 62. The upper face of the disk contains four upwardly and outwardly inclined grooves 63 adapted to receive balls 64. Above the balls is a concave faced disk 66 urged downwardly by the coiled compression spring 61. The latter disk carries a stem 68 which projects through the central aperture in disk 62 and engages contact 41 thereby normally to maintain same closed.
When the motor is not operating the balls occupy the position illustrated. However, as the motor gathers speed upon the starting thereof the balls move upwardly due to centrifugal force, raising disk 66 and stem 68 against the force of spring 61 until contact 41 finalhr opens. As previously stated, this removes the short circuit which exists around part of the capacitance in series with winding 35b and thus deduces the overall capacitative reactance of that circuit. Although three condensers have been shown in series with the winding, one of which is short circuited during the starting period, it will be understood that any suitable number of condensers may be employed and contact 41 may be arranged to short circuit any part of the series connected condenser group.
I am well aware that it is not new to use one or more condensers in conjunction with the starting winding of a single phase induction motor to adjust the phase relationship between that winding and the main operating winding. When this has been done in the past, however, it has been customary to connect the condensers to the starting winding at one end thereof, i. e., between one side of the power line and one end of the winding, the opposite side of the power line being connected to the opposite end of the winding.
, So far as is known to me no one heretofore has interrupted the winding intermediate its ends to place the capacitance between the two sections thereof as I do. Electrically, the capacitance serves the same purpose when thus connected as it does when connected at one ing; however, it makes possible a structural relationship of parts which is of great importance in on device. Specifically, it makes it possible to connect the power supply line to the motor winding at a point located adjacent one end of the end of the windmotor shaft while connecting the condensers to the winding at a point located adjacent the opposite end of the shaft.
In most induction motor installations the condensers can be positioned without difliculty ad- Jacent the same end of the motor shaft as where the power supply line connects to the winding. Such is not the case here. Cable 31 cannot advantageously be made to extend downwardly outside the motor housing to aqpoint where it could enter the housing below the motor because to do so, in the light of well bore limitations which must be met, would require reduction of the motors diameter and a consequent sacrifice of power. On the other hand, to position the condensers above the motor would require undesirable elongation of the motor shaft and housing section l8 to gain space above the motor winding, not only for the condensers themselves but also for a centrifugal switch and associated operating mechanism. The fact that the shaft extends through the space above the motor would immeasurably complicate the design of parts and their arrangement in this space.
By connecting the power supply leads to the top end of the winding and opening the winding at its lower end between two adjacent turns in order to insert the capacitance in series with the two sections thus formed, a simple and completely satisfactory solution to the problem indicated above is reached. The length of the motor shait is kept to a minimum, maximum motor diameter is retained, and the centrifugal switch and condenser are mounted where (1) space is less at a premium and design hence is not dictated or complicated by excessively cramped quarters, and (2) cooling of the condensers is achieved more satisfactorily.
Below the condensers is a piston 59 having rigidly secured thereto a downwardly extending hollow stem 10 adapted to slide in a stationary guide tube H as the piston moves up or down. The guide tube has aflixed to its bottom a radial flange 12 which is toed into the inner wall of the casing 2| and which supports a compression spring 13 urging the piston upwardly. Standing on the piston is a column of oil introduced into the motor chamber through the oil flll hole shown closed by screw 14. This oil bath surrounds and encloses all parts of the motor and associated electrical equipment, insulating same and also lubricating the motor bearings.
Well fluid enters the chamber below the piston via aperture 15 and the piston automatically moves up or down as needed to equalize the pressure between this fluid and the oil, as the oil expands and contracts due to heating and'cooling. Due to the fact that the upward pressure exerted on the piston by the well fluid is supplemented by the pressure of spring 13, it will be seen that the oil is under slightly greater pressure than the well fluid. Consequently, any leakage which occurs around piston ring 16, around fluid seal 43, or at any other point in the motor chamber will result in gradual extrusion of oil rather than intrusion of well fluid, thus safeguarding the motor. Inhibitor rings 11 are employed in conventional fashion at points subject to erosion due to electrolytic action in the well fluid.
Installation of my pump is quick and easy. A discharge pipe 18 simply is screwed into the pump and the whole unit lowered below the water level in the well. The pump performs perfectly in a well of any depth and at any submergence below water level. Water tables which become lower The surface equipment (in addition to the switch which starts and stops the pump motor) preferably is as shown inFig. 1. It comprises a.
Over a period of time the air trapped in tank 88 slowly dissolves in the liquid passing through the bottom thereof and accordingly the following arrangement for automatically replenishing the air in the tank is provided. In the supply line I8 just ahead of check valve 8| is a small air intake aperture normally maintained closed b a ball valve 84; at the bottom of pipe 18 in the discharge port of the pump is a check valve comprising a light ball 85, shown seated in Fig. 2 but normally carried upwardly by the flow of fluid so it is held against stop 86.
Whenever the pump ceases to operate the column of liquid in pipe I8 tends to settle downwardlyunder the influence of gravity, causing check valve 8| quickly to close as already explained. Ball 85 also returns to its seat but does this less rapidly whereby there is a slight downward movement of fluid in the pipe after check valve 8| has closed. This creates a partial vacuum in the upper end of pipe 18 and accordingly atmospheric pressure outside of the pipe causes ball valve 84 to open momentarily and admit air to the pipe. When next the pump is started this air is driven into tank 88 insuring that the head of air 82 is maintained.
The amount of air thus added to the tank each time the pump stops and starts naturally will depend upon the extent of the lag between the closing of check valve 8| and the closing of the ball valve 85 in the discharge port of the pump; the speed of the latter valve can be adjusted by varying the weight of the ball 85, the warding action of the cup-shaped stop 86 sheltering the ball, and the distance above the valve seat that stop 86 is located.
From the foregoing it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all of the ends and objects hereinbefore set forth together with other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the apparatus.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
