JA M65 01L WELL PUMPING APPARATUS This invention relates to a pump and primarily to pumping apparatus fordeep well use, such as in connection with the vertically reciprocating pump rods of oil well pumps. Conventional oil well pumps are of the walking beam type which includes an elongated generally horizontal beam pivotally supported intermediate its ends and with a larger counterweight on one end to more or less balance the weight of the pump rod which may extend thousands of feet into the well, and as a result be quite heavy. In some cases, the walking beam type of pumping apparatus has its counterweight on the shaft of the prime mover.
The present invention utilizes means for vertically reciprocating the pump rod which is compactin structure and eliminates the heavy and cumbersome walking beam type of construction.
Another object is the provision of pump actuating means wherein the power stroke is in a straight line parallel to that of the pump rodand power is delivered to the pump rod in direct alignment therewith.
A further object is to provide pump actuating apparatus in the form of a hydraulic piston and-cylinder as sembly in a hydraulic circuit including a reversing valve and limit switches for reversing said valve.
A further object is to provide pumping apparatus including a hydraulic piston and cylinderunit in conjunction with pressure air cushioning means for the down stroke ofthe pump rod, and wherein the pressure of the air cushioning means is utilized to assist in the upward working stroke of the pump actuating means and the liquid-loaded pump piston at the bottom of the pump rod.
The above and other objects will more fully appear from the following description in connection'with the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of an embodiment of the invention with portions thereof shown-in alternate positions in full and'broken lines; 40
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view with part of the flat tension member broken away;
FIG. 3 is an enlargedvertical sectional view through a portion of the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2 and showing the controls therefor in diagrammatic form.
There is illustrated an elongated base 4 made up of channels 6 suitably connected by cross members 8. A vertical air cylinder 10 extends upwardly from one end of the base 4. It is provided with brackets 12 suitably pivotally connected tothe base 4 at 14. The cylinder 10 also has brackets 16 which may rest upon one of the cross members 8. One of the brackets 12' is connected at 18 to piston rod 20 working in a suitable hydraulic cylinder 22 pivotally connected at 23 to a cross member 8, so that the brackets 12 and the cylinder 10 to which they are connected, can be tilted'or swung from the full line upright position of FIG. 1 to a horizontal broken line position indicated at 24 with the cylinder 10 resting upon a suitable saddle 26 suitably supported 60 by the frame 4. i;
As shown in FIG. 3, the air cylinder 10 is closed at its bottom by a cylinder head 28 which also supports an inwardly concentric hydraulic cylinder 30 whose lower end is closed by the cylinder head 28 and whose upper end is closed by a head 32 through which slidably extends a piston rod 34 having at its lower end a hydraulic piston 36. The piston rod 34 at its upper end connects with a head 38 upon which is mounted a pulley member 40 having a horizontal pin 42 which rotatably supports a pulley wheel 44, the latter having a flat surface 46, as shown in FIG. 2.
The air cylinder 10 is closed at its upper end by a head 46 having a suitable clamp unit 48 formed thereon and to which is anchored one end of a flexible tension member in the form of a flat metal tape 50. This tape or tension member extends upwardly over the pulley wheel 44 and thence downwardly with its upper end connected by a suitable connector 52 to the upper end of a polish rod 54 which forms the upper section of the pump rod spring which extends down in the well to a suitable piston-pump, such as is well known in the art.
The upper head 46 of the air cylinder 10 supports a guide sleeve 56 in which is slidably supported a hollow air piston 58. This air piston extends downwardly about the piston rod 34 and its cylinder 30. The hollow air piston 58 is secured and sealed to the head 38 on the upper end ofthe piston rod 34. In the downward position of the piston rod 34, the hollow piston 58 terminates above the bottom head 28 of the air cylinder 10. A suitable air compressor 60 supplies pressure air through a conduit 62 to the interior of the air cylinder 18.
A spool valve 64 is shown with a housing 66 having ports 68, 70' and 72 at one side thereof. Within the housing 66 is a spool 74 having flanges 76, 78 and 80. The port 68, in the position shown, lies between flanges 76and 78, port 70 lies between flanges 78 and 80 and port 72 lies to the right of the end flange 80.
The other side of the housing 66 is provided with ports 82 and 84. Port 82 lies between spool flanges 76 and 78, and port 84 lies betweenflanges 78 and 80. Port 82 is connected by conduit 86 to the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 30 on the upper side of the piston 36. Port 84 is connected by conduit 88 to the lower end of cylinder 30 and of course on the lower side of the piston 36.
In the position of the spool 74 illustrated in FIG. 3, a pump 90 is connected by a conduit 92 to the spool valve port 70 so that liquid pumped therethrough by the pump will flow through the housing between flanges 78 and 80 and port 84 through the conduit 88 to the lower part of cylinder 30 to force the piston 36 upwardly.
The spool 74 has a pair of bores 94 and 96 extending inwardly from each end thereof. Extending into these bores are tubes 98 and 100. A conduit 102 from pump 90 is shown providing flow through a two position four way valve 104 and thence through a conduit 106 to the spool valve tube toexert pressure to the left in the bore 96. Liquid expelled to the left of the spool flange 76 during movement of the spool to the left travels through a conduit 108, to the reservoir 110, which is the reservoir from which liquid is pumped by the pump 90.
When the four way valve 104 is reversed in position, flow will be reversed to the tube 98 through conduit 112 causing the spool to move to the right, and liquid exhausted from the right side to the right spool flange 80 will travel through a conduit 112 to the reservoir 110.
It is desired that in conduits 106 and 112 there be provided flow control devices 116.
Actuation of the two position four way valve 104 is accomplished by means of solenoids 118 and 120.
These solenoids are shown connected respectively to contacts 122 and 124 in a pressure responsive switch 126. This switch is of conventional structure and its interior mechanism is not shown. However, there is shown a pressure tube 128 leading from the pressure responsive switch 126 to the interior of the air cylinder 10. As the air valve indicator needle 130 moves in response to changes in pressure in cylinder by reason of reciprocating movement of the hollow air piston 58, the needle will move into contact with one or the other of the contacts 122 and 124 to reverse the actuation of the valve 104 and the spool valve 64.
When the valve 104 has been reversed and the needle 130 moves from either of the contacts 122 or 124, the pump 90 will continue pumping liquid until the needle 130 reaches the opposite of the two contacts 122 and 124 to energize the opposite solenoid 118 or 120 and reverse the four way valve 104 and the spool valve 64.
It should be noted that when the cylinder 10 is in its lowered horizontal position, as shown in broken lines in FIG. 1, it and its supporting base 4 can readily be transported to the well where it is intended for use. The entire mechanism can be completely built and transported to the site, whereas, pumpers of the walking beam type, because of their size and configuration, must be shipped to the place of use in a more or less knocked-down condition and erected on the site. All that is required of my pumping apparatus is that the cylinder 10 be swung upwardly to the full line position of FIG. 1 and it is ready for connection with the polisher rod 54. I
lt should also be noted that when the pump in the hole requires servicing, access may be had to it merely by swinging the pumping mechanism of my invention down to the horizontal position shown in FIG. 1 so that the area at the top of the well pipe is free of obstructron.
It should of course be understood that various changes can be made in the form, details, arrangement and proportions of the various parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.
