Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des pompes, en particulier pour le pompage haute pression et haut débit, notamment pour des opérations de forage allant de quelques centaines de mètres à quelques kilomètres.The present invention relates to the field of pumps, in particular for high pressure and high flow rate pumping, in particular for drilling operations ranging from a few hundred meters to a few kilometers.
Dans le domaine de la production d'hydrocarbures, on observe actuellement que les forages doivent atteindre des profondeurs de plus en plus importantes, ce qui implique de travailler avec des pressions d'injection toujours plus élevées. Les compagnies pétrolières et les sociétés de service dans le domaine pétrolier ont donc besoin de pompes (par exemple pour l'injection de boues de forage) à très haute pression pour atteindre les profondeurs requises. Ces dernières doivent également être fiables, économiques, flexibles et compactes, afin de répondre aux demandes toujours plus exigeantes du secteur de l'énergie.In the field of hydrocarbon production, it is currently observed that boreholes have to reach ever greater depths, which implies working with ever higher injection pressures. Oil companies and petroleum service companies therefore need very high pressure pumps (for example for the injection of drilling mud) to reach the required depths. These must also be reliable, economical, flexible and compact, in order to meet the ever more demanding demands of the energy sector.
De manière générale, les pompes à vilebrequins sont les plus répandues dans l'ensemble des secteurs de l'industrie : les biens d'équipement, les industries pétrolière, gazière et agroalimentaire, le secteur automobile, le bâtiment (chauffage, puits, climatisation, pompes à eau, etc.) et plus spécifiquement pour le traitement de l'eau et des déchets (réseau d'eau et d'assainissement). A ce jour, les pompes de ce type comportent un nombre de pistons limités (de l'ordre de 5), en raison des limitations de la taille du vilebrequin qui est soumis par ailleurs à de fortes contraintes et à de brusques variations de pression pouvant intervenir au refoulement. Ces pompes présentent donc des limites en termes de puissance, de couple pression / débit (limité par des « coups de bélier » générés par la pression sinusoïdale du vilebrequin), de poids, de rendement et de durée de vie. De plus, elles ne permettent pas d'avoir une cylindrée variable et manquent donc de flexibilité d'utilisation.In general, crankshaft pumps are the most widespread in all sectors of industry: capital goods, the oil, gas and agrifood industries, the automotive sector, construction (heating, wells, air conditioning, etc. water pumps, etc.) and more specifically for the treatment of water and waste (water and sanitation network). To date, pumps of this type have a limited number of pistons (of the order of 5), due to the limitations of the size of the crankshaft, which is also subjected to strong stresses and to sudden pressure variations which may intervene in the repression. These pumps therefore have limits in terms of power, pressure / flow rate (limited by "water hammers" generated by the sinusoidal pressure of the crankshaft), weight, efficiency and service life. In addition, they do not allow to have a variable displacement and therefore lack flexibility of use.
Une autre technologie de pompe volumétrique est la pompe à barillet, appelée également pompe à plateau. Pour ce type de pompe, les pistons sont répartis sur un cercle, contrairement aux pompes à vilebrequin pour lesquelles les pistons sont alignés. Les pompes conçues avec un barillet, fonctionnent à l'aide d'un système de plateau ou d'un barillet tournant, qui actionne les différents pistons les uns à la suite des autres. Lorsqu'un piston est en phase d'admission, le piston opposé est en mode refoulement, ce qui offre un flux constant en amont et aval de la pompe. La répartition des positions des pistons avec un guidage par le barillet assure une distribution progressive des efforts lors de la rotation de l'arbre entraîné par le moteur.Another positive displacement pump technology is the barrel pump, also known as a plate pump. For this type of pump, the pistons are distributed in a circle, unlike crankshaft pumps where the pistons are aligned. The pumps designed with a barrel, operate using a plate system or a rotating barrel, which actuates the different pistons one after the other. When a piston is in the intake phase, the opposite piston is in the discharge mode, which provides a constant flow upstream and downstream of the pump. The distribution of the positions of the pistons with a guide by the barrel ensures a progressive distribution of the forces during the rotation of the shaft driven by the motor.
Majoritairement destinées au pompage à plus faible pression et débit (elles sont principalement utilisées dans le pompage des huiles hydrauliques), elles offrent de nombreux avantages :
- Excellent rapport poids / puissance
- Très bon rapport qualité / prix
- Rendements mécaniques et volumétriques intéressants
- Possibilité de cylindrée variable en réglant l'inclinaison du plateau.
- Excellent power-to-weight ratio
- Very good value for money
- Interesting mechanical and volumetric performance
- Possibility of variable displacement by adjusting the inclination of the plate.
De manière générale, il existe trois grandes architectures de pompe à barillet :
- Les pompes à barillet fixe (
figure 1 ) : dans cette configuration depompe 1, où le barillet est fixe, c'est le plateau incliné 2 qui tourne (entraîné par l'arbre 5) afin de générer le mouvement despistons 3 dans leurschemises 4. La liaison entre lespistons 3 et leplateau 2 est alors assuré par des patins rotulés qui frottent sur leplateau 2. L'avantage ici est d'avoir une très faible inertie des pièces en rotation. - Les pompes à barillet rotatif (
figure 2 ) : au sein de lapompe 1, c'est leplateau 2 qui est fixe et lebarillet 6 portant lespistons 3 est en rotation, assurant ainsi le mouvement despistons 3 dans leurschemises 4. La liaison piston 3 -plateau 2 est assurée de la même manière que pour la première configuration. L'avantage de cette architecture est que l'on peut aisément rendre le plateau réglable en inclinaison et ainsi avoir la possibilité de cylindrée variable. En revanche, l'inertie des pièces en rotation augmente de façon non négligeable puisque le barillet et l'ensemble des pistons sont mis en rotation. - Les pompes à barillet avec plateau oscillant : le barillet est fixe dans cette architecture et l'on a deux plateaux, un premier plateau incliné est en rotation et transfère au second plateau uniquement le mouvement d'oscillation. Ainsi on peut lier les pistons au second plateau oscillant sans la nécessité d'éléments frottant, par exemple avec une bielle liée au piston et au plateau par des liaisons rotules. C'est la seule architecture adaptée au pompage haute pression du fait de l'absence d'éléments frottant (on en trouve d'ailleurs quelques-unes sur le marché de la géothermie). Elle offre également un excellent rendement mécanique.
- Fixed barrel pumps (
figure 1 ): in this configuration ofpump 1, where the barrel is fixed, it is theinclined plate 2 which rotates (driven by the shaft 5) in order to generate the movement of thepistons 3 in theirliners 4. The connection between thepistons 3 and theplate 2 is then provided by ball-jointed pads which rub on theplate 2. The advantage here is to have a very low inertia of the rotating parts. - Rotary barrel pumps (
figure 2 ): within thepump 1, it is theplate 2 which is fixed and thebarrel 6 carrying thepistons 3 is in rotation, thus ensuring the movement of thepistons 3 in theirliners 4. The piston 3 -plate 2 connection is ensured in the same way as for the first configuration. The advantage of this architecture is that we can easily make the tilt adjustable plate and thus have the possibility of variable displacement. On the other hand, the inertia of the rotating parts increases significantly since the barrel and all of the pistons are rotated. - Barrel pumps with oscillating plate: the barrel is fixed in this architecture and there are two plates, a first inclined plate is in rotation and transfers to the second plate only the oscillation movement. Thus, the pistons can be linked to the second swash plate without the need for friction elements, for example with a connecting rod linked to the piston and to the plate by ball joints. It is the only architecture suitable for high pressure pumping due to the absence of friction elements (there are also some on the geothermal market). It also offers excellent mechanical performance.
Dans le cas de telles pompes à barillet, le nombre et le diamètre des pistons, de même que l'inclinaison du plateau, conditionnent le débit souhaité pour la pompe. De fait, lorsque celle-ci fonctionne, les pistons sont tour à tour sous forte pression, puis à pression atmosphérique, de sorte que l'ensemble barillet/piston imprime une charge sur le plateau dont le module est spatialement hétérogène. En effet, au regard de la conduite d'admission (pression atmosphérique) la charge est relativement faible, tandis qu'au regard de la conduite de refoulement, la charge est maximale.In the case of such barrel pumps, the number and diameter of the pistons, as well as the inclination of the plate, condition the desired flow rate for the pump. In fact, when this operates, the pistons are in turn under high pressure, then at atmospheric pressure, so that the barrel / piston assembly impresses a load on the plate, the modulus of which is spatially heterogeneous. Indeed, with regard to the inlet pipe (atmospheric pressure) the load is relatively low, while with regard to the discharge pipe, the load is maximum.
Par ailleurs, lorsque des pompes à barillet, qu'elles soient à barillet tournant, à plateau rotatif ou oscillant, sont utilisées dans le domaine du forage très grande profondeur alliant haute pression et haut débit, les efforts appliqués par un nombre important de pistons peuvent engendrer des efforts considérables sur le plateau et les liaisons mécaniques entre les constituants ce qui, dans les conditions extrêmes peut générer une déformation du plateau ou la casse d'une liaison. En outre, les liaisons entre les pistons et le plateau assurées, par exemple, par des patins rotulés, doivent être pensées avec un minimum de frottement.Moreover, when barrel pumps, whether with rotating barrel, rotary or oscillating plate, are used in the field of very great depth drilling combining high pressure and high flow, the forces applied by a large number of pistons can generate considerable forces on the plate and the mechanical links between the components which, under extreme conditions, can generate a deformation of the plate or the breakage of a link. In addition, the connections between the pistons and the plate provided, for example, by ball-jointed pads, must be designed with a minimum of friction.
Ce déséquilibre de charge appliquée sur le plateau peut induire des efforts importants sur le plateau et sur les liaisons mécaniques du système, ce qui conduit à des pièces plus encombrantes et plus massives rendant la pompe plus énergivore. En outre, les liaisons entre les pistons et le plateau, par exemple par des patins rotulés, peuvent être inconcevables si la charge appliquée est trop importante.This imbalance of load applied to the plate can induce significant forces on the plate and on the mechanical links of the system, which leads to more bulky and more massive parts making the pump more energy intensive. In addition, the connections between the pistons and the plate, for example by ball-jointed pads, can be inconceivable if the applied load is too great.

La présente invention concerne une pompe à barillet. La pompe à barillet a pour but de pomper un fluide (par exemple : eau, huile, gaz, boues de forage, etc.) au moyen d'un déplacement linéaire de plusieurs pistons. Ce type de pompe présente l'avantage d'être compacte, d'avoir des rendements mécaniques et volumétriques intéressants, un excellent rapport poids/puissance. La pompe à barillet selon l'invention peut être à barillet fixe, à barillet rotatif, ou bien à plateau oscillant.The present invention relates to a barrel pump. The purpose of the barrel pump is to pump a fluid (for example: water, oil, gas, drilling muds, etc.) by means of a linear displacement of several pistons. This type of pump has the advantage of being compact, of having interesting mechanical and volumetric efficiency, an excellent weight / power ratio. The barrel pump according to the invention may have a fixed barrel, a rotary barrel, or else a swash plate.
La pompe à barillet selon l'invention comporte de manière générale un carter, et au sein d'un carter comporte :
- un arbre d'entraînement : celui-ci est entraîné en rotation, par rapport au carter par une source d'énergie extérieure, notamment une machine motrice (par exemple thermique ou électrique), en particulier au moyen d'une transmission (par exemple une boîte de vitesses) ;
- un premier ensemble d'éléments de pompage, comprenant au moins un plateau, un bloc cylindre (appelé barillet), une conduite d'admission et une conduite de refoulement et un second ensemble d'éléments de pompage, comprenant au moins les mêmes éléments que le premier ensemble de pompage, les éléments de chacun de ces ensembles étant distribués le long de l'arbre d'entrainement. De manière classique, un bloc cylindre comporte au moins deux chambres de compression (appelés également chemises) réparties circonférentiellement (en d'autres termes les chambres de compression sont réparties selon un cercle), et au moins deux pistons en translation respectivement dans les chambres de compression, la translation des pistons au sein des chambres de compression réalisent le pompage du fluide. Les plateaux de chaque ensemble peuvent avoir sensiblement la forme de disque. Toutefois, les plateaux peuvent avoir n'importe quelle forme. Seules les chambres de compression (et les pistons) sont réparties sur un cercle. Par ailleurs, de manière classique, le fluide à pomper passe par la conduite d'admission d'un des ensembles, entre dans une chambre de compression de cet ensemble, est comprimé puis refoulé de la pompe par la conduite de refoulement de cet ensemble.
- a drive shaft: this is driven in rotation, relative to the housing by an external energy source, in particular a prime mover (for example thermal or electric), in particular by means of a transmission (for example a gearbox) ;
- a first set of pumping elements, comprising at least a plate, a cylinder block (called a barrel), an inlet pipe and a discharge pipe and a second set of pumping elements, comprising at least the same elements as the first pumping assembly, the elements of each of these assemblies being distributed along the drive shaft. Conventionally, a cylinder block comprises at least two compression chambers (also called liners) distributed circumferentially (in other words the compression chambers are distributed in a circle), and at least two pistons in translation respectively in the pressure chambers. compression, the translation of the pistons within the compression chambers perform the pumping of the fluid. The trays of each set may have substantially the shape of a disc. However, the trays can have any shape. Only the compression chambers (and the pistons) are distributed in a circle. Furthermore, conventionally, the fluid to be pumped passes through the inlet pipe of one of the assemblies, enters a compression chamber of this assembly, is compressed and then discharged from the pump via the discharge line of this assembly.
Par ailleurs, selon l'invention :
- le plateau de chacun des deux ensembles est incliné par rapport à l'axe de rotation dudit arbre d'entrainement. L'inclinaison des plateaux influe sur la course des pistons dans les chambres de compression et détermine ainsi la cylindrée de la pompe ;
- ledit arbre d'entrainement induit un mouvement relatif en rotation entre ledit plateau et ledit bloc cylindre de chacun desdits deux ensembles. Ainsi, selon l'invention, l'arbre d'entrainement peut tout aussi bien entrainer en rotation le plateau que le barillet ;
- la distribution des éléments du second ensemble est en symétrie par rapport à celle des éléments du premier ensemble selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation de l'arbre d'entrainement, les plateaux des deux ensembles étant reliés entre eux au niveau du plan de symétrie. Ainsi, la pompe à barillet selon l'invention comporte, d'une extrémité à une autre, des premières conduites d'admission et de refoulement, un premier barillet, un premier plateau, un deuxième plateau, un deuxième barillet, et des deuxièmes conduites d'admission et de refoulement, le tout étant traversé par un arbre d'entraînement.
- the plate of each of the two sets is inclined relative to the axis of rotation of said drive shaft. The inclination of the plates influences the stroke of the pistons in the compression chambers and thus determines the displacement of the pump;
- said drive shaft induces a relative rotational movement between said plate and said cylinder block of each of said two assemblies. Thus, according to the invention, the drive shaft can equally well drive the plate in rotation as the barrel;
- the distribution of the elements of the second set is symmetrical with respect to that of the elements of the first set along a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft, the plates of the two sets being connected between them at the level of the plane of symmetry. Thus, the barrel pump according to the invention comprises, from one end to another, first intake and delivery pipes, a first cylinder, a first plate, a second plate, a second barrel, and second pipes. inlet and outlet, the whole being crossed by a drive shaft.
Ainsi, selon l'invention les plateaux de chacun des ensembles de pompage sont inclinés d'un même angle, en valeur absolue, et se font face. Les forces appliquées sur chacun des plateaux par le mouvement en translation des pistons dans chacune des chambres de compression de chacun des blocs cylindre ont la même norme mais sont de sens opposé. Les plateaux des deux ensembles étant reliés entre eux, cette configuration permet de réduire les charges axiales supportées par les plateaux et par les liaisons mécaniques plateau-piston.Thus, according to the invention, the plates of each of the pumping assemblies are inclined at the same angle, in absolute value, and face each other. The forces applied to each of the plates by the translational movement of the pistons in each of the compression chambers of each of the cylinder blocks have the same standard but are in the opposite direction. The plates of the two assemblies being interconnected, this configuration makes it possible to reduce the axial loads supported by the plates and by the mechanical plate-piston connections.
Selon l'invention, la conduite d'admission et la conduite de refoulement de chacun des ensembles de pompage sont placées en symétrie par rapport à l'axe de l'arbre d'entrainement, ou autrement dit les conduites d'admission et de refoulement d'un même ensemble se font face par rapport à l'arbre d'entrainement. Ainsi, le bilan des forces axiales au niveau du plateau peut être équilibré plus facilement.According to the invention, the intake pipe and the discharge pipe of each of the pumping assemblies are placed in symmetry with respect to the axis of the drive shaft, or in other words the intake and discharge pipes. of the same set face each other with respect to the drive shaft. Thus, the balance of the axial forces at the level of the plate can be balanced more easily.
Selon une première variante de mise en œuvre de l'invention, l'arbre d'entrainement entraîne en rotation les plateaux de chacun des deux ensembles, le mouvement en rotation étant considéré par rapport au carter de la pompe. Ainsi, cette première variante décrit une pompe à barillet fixe. Selon cette variante, le plateau rotatif d'un ensemble donné est incliné par rapport à l'arbre d'entraînement selon un même angle d'inclinaison que le plateau de l'autre ensemble, chacun des plateaux étant par ailleurs entrainé en rotation par l'arbre d'entrainement.According to a first variant embodiment of the invention, the drive shaft drives the plates of each of the two assemblies in rotation, the rotational movement being considered with respect to the pump casing. Thus, this first variant describes a fixed barrel pump. According to this variant, the rotary plate of a given set is inclined relative to the drive shaft at the same angle of inclination as the plate of the other set, each of the plates being moreover driven in rotation by the 'drive shaft.
Selon une deuxième variante de mise en œuvre de l'invention, l'arbre d'entrainement entraîne en rotation le bloc cylindre ou barillet de chacun des deux ensembles de pompage, le mouvement en rotation étant considéré par rapport au carter de la pompe. Ainsi, cette seconde variante décrit une pompe à barillet tournant. Selon cette variante, les plateaux de chaque ensemble de pompage sont fixes et inclinés du même angle d'inclinaison en valeur absolue. Pour cette variante, le barillet tournant de chaque ensemble de pompage induit un mouvement en translation des pistons dans leur chambre de compression respective, via la liaison des pistons avec le plateau de leur ensemble de pompage respectif.According to a second alternative embodiment of the invention, the drive shaft rotates the cylinder block or barrel of each of the two pumping assemblies, the rotational movement being considered relative to the pump casing. Thus, this second variant describes a pump with a rotating barrel. According to this variant, the plates of each pumping assembly are fixed and inclined by the same angle of inclination in absolute value. For this variant, the rotating barrel of each pumping assembly induces a translational movement of the pistons in their respective compression chamber, via the connection of the pistons with the plate of their respective pumping assembly.
Selon une troisième variante de mise en œuvre de l'invention, chacun des deux ensembles de pompage comprend au moins deux plateaux parallèles entre eux (et de ce fait tout deux inclinés d'un même angle à un même instant) : un plateau rotatif entrainé en rotation par l'arbre d'entrainement, et un plateau oscillant entraîné en oscillation par le plateau rotatif, le plateau oscillant étant en liaison pivot selon l'axe du plateau rotatif par rapport au plateau rotatif. Ainsi, selon cette variante, le plateau rotatif transmet uniquement le mouvement d'oscillation au plateau oscillant et ne transmet pas le mouvement de rotation. Selon cette conception, les pistons de chacune des chambres de compression d'un ensemble de pompage donné sont entraînés par le plateau oscillant de cet ensemble, par exemple au moyen de bielles (les bielles relient, au moyen de liaisons rotules, le plateau oscillant et les pistons de manière à transformer le mouvement d'oscillation en mouvement de translation des pistons), et la translation des pistons au sein des chambres de compression réalisent le pompage du fluide. Selon cette variante de l'invention, le plateau rotatif peut être entraîné par l'arbre d'entraînement au moyen d'une rotule à doigt, la position de la rotule à doigt déterminant l'inclinaison des deux plateaux (rotatif et oscillant) par rapport à l'arbre d'entraînement. On rappelle qu'une liaison rotule à doigt est une liaison entre deux éléments (ici l'arbre d'entraînement et le plateau rotatif), qui dispose de quatre degrés de liaisons et deux degrés de mouvements relatifs ; seulement deux rotations relatives sont possibles, les trois translations et la dernière rotation étant liées. D'une manière générale, il s'agit d'une rotule dotée d'un doigt faisant obstacle à une rotation.According to a third variant of implementation of the invention, each of the two pumping assemblies comprises at least two plates parallel to each other (and therefore both inclined at the same angle at the same time): a driven rotary plate in rotation by the drive shaft, and a swash plate driven in oscillation by the turntable, the swash plate being in a pivot connection along the axis of the turntable relative to the turntable. Thus, according to this variant, the rotary plate transmits only the oscillation movement to the swash plate and does not transmit the rotational movement. According to this design, the pistons of each of the compression chambers of a given pumping assembly are driven by the swash plate of this set, for example by means of connecting rods (the connecting rods connect, by means of ball joints, the swash plate and the pistons so as to transform the oscillation movement into translational movement of the pistons), and the translation of the pistons within the compression chambers perform the pumping of the fluid. According to this variant of the invention, the rotary plate can be driven by the drive shaft by means of a finger ball joint, the position of the finger ball joint determining the inclination of the two plates (rotary and oscillating) by compared to the drive shaft. It will be recalled that a ball joint with a finger is a connection between two elements (here the drive shaft and the rotary plate), which has four degrees of connection and two degrees of relative movement; only two relative rotations are possible, the three translations and the last rotation being linked. In general, it is a ball joint with a finger preventing rotation.
Selon une réalisation de l'invention pouvant s'appliquer pour l'une quelconque des variantes décrites ci-dessus, les plateaux des deux ensembles sont formés d'un seul bloc. Cela permet de réduire la fragilité du contact entre les deux plateaux, et donc d'améliorer la fiabilité de la pompe selon l'invention.According to one embodiment of the invention which can be applied for any one of the variants described above, the plates of the two sets are formed from a single block. This makes it possible to reduce the fragility of the contact between the two plates, and therefore to improve the reliability of the pump according to the invention.
Selon une réalisation de l'invention pouvant s'appliquer pour l'une quelconque des variantes décrites ci-dessus, les plateaux des deux ensembles sont reliés entre eux par des moyens de liaison. Avantageusement, les moyens de liaisons des plateaux des deux ensembles comprennent une liaison pivot placée en un point situé sensiblement à la périphérie des deux plateaux. Classiquement, les liaisons pivots sont formées par des paliers ou des roulements, favorisant le mouvement relatif des éléments. Cette liaison pivot permet un réglage de l'inclinaison des plateaux de chaque ensemble de pompage. Préférentiellement, les moyens de liaisons des plateaux des deux ensembles comprennent, en plus d'une liaison pivot, au moins un élément d'écartement à longueur variable placé de manière à renforcer l'ensemble formé par les deux plateaux inclinés et reliés entre eux par la liaison pivot.According to one embodiment of the invention which can be applied for any one of the variants described above, the plates of the two sets are interconnected by connecting means. Advantageously, the connecting means of the plates of the two assemblies comprise a pivot connection placed at a point situated substantially at the periphery of the two plates. Conventionally, the pivot connections are formed by bearings or bearings, promoting the relative movement of the elements. This pivot connection allows adjustment of the inclination of the plates of each pumping assembly. Preferably, the connecting means of the plates of the two assemblies comprise, in addition to a pivot connection, at least one spacer element of variable length placed so as to reinforce the assembly formed by the two inclined plates and connected to each other by the pivot link.
Avantageusement, l'inclinaison du ou des plateaux de chacun des ensembles est réglable de manière continue par des moyens de commande de l'inclinaison des plateaux, ce qui permet une cylindrée variable. En effet, l'inclinaison des plateaux influe sur la course des pistons. Ainsi, la pompe selon cette variante permet une bonne flexibilité grâce à la variation continue de la cylindrée unitaire. En outre, la pompe selon cette quatrième variante permet une mise en fonctionnement progressive de la pompe : par exemple, lors du démarrage, l'angle d'inclinaison peut être faible, et par la suite, il peut être augmenté en fonction des conditions souhaitées (débit et pression du fluide). Ceci permet d'accroitre la fiabilité de la pompe. Selon un exemple de réalisation, les moyens de commande de l'inclinaison des plateaux interagissent avec les moyens de liaison reliant les plateaux des deux ensembles de pompage. Selon une option de réalisation de l'invention dans laquelle les moyens de liaison comprennent une liaison pivot et un élément d'écartement à hauteur variable tels que décrits ci-dessus, les moyens de commande de l'inclinaison des plateaux coopèrent avec les moyens de réglage de la hauteur de l'élément d'écartement, de manière à augmenter ou réduire l'écartement entre les plateaux. Selon une option de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de commande de l'inclinaison des plateaux est assurée par une vis sans fin.Advantageously, the inclination of the plate (s) of each of the assemblies is continuously adjustable by means for controlling the inclination of the plates, which allows a variable displacement. Indeed, the inclination of the plates influences the stroke of the pistons. Thus, the pump according to this variant allows good flexibility thanks to the continuous variation of the unit displacement. In addition, the pump according to this fourth variant allows the pump to be gradually put into operation: for example, during start-up, the angle of inclination may be small, and subsequently, it may be increased depending on the desired conditions. (fluid flow and pressure). This increases the reliability of the pump. According to an exemplary embodiment, the means for controlling the inclination of the plates interact with the connecting means connecting the plates of the two pumping assemblies. According to one embodiment of the invention in which the connecting means comprise a pivot connection and a variable height spacer element as described above, the means for controlling the inclination of the plates cooperate with the means of adjustment of the height of the spacer element, so as to increase or decrease the spacing between the plates. According to one embodiment of the invention, the means for controlling the inclination of the plates is provided by a worm.
Selon une mise en œuvre de l'invention, la pompe selon l'invention peut comporter, dans chaque bloc cylindre, un nombre de pistons compris entre trois et quinze, de préférence entre cinq et onze. Ainsi, un nombre élevé de pistons offre un flux continu en amont et en aval de la pompe.According to one implementation of the invention, the pump according to the invention may include, in each cylinder block, a number of pistons between three and fifteen, preferably between five and eleven. Thus, a high number of pistons provides a continuous flow upstream and downstream of the pump.
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention pouvant être appliqué à l'une quelconque des variantes décrites ci-dessus, l'angle d'inclinaison du ou des plateaux (un plateau rotatif dans le cas de la première variante, un plateau fixe dans le cas de la deuxième variante, ou un plateau rotatif et un plateau oscillant dans le cas de la troisième variante) de chaque ensemble d'éléments de pompage est compris entre 70° et 90° en valeur absolue par rapport à l'axe de l'arbre d'entrainement. Autrement dit, le ou les plateaux d'un des ensembles est incliné entre 0 et 20° par rapport au plan de symétrie des premier et deuxième ensembles de pompage, et le ou les plateaux de l'autre ensemble est incliné entre -20° et 0 par rapport à ce même plan de symétrie.According to one embodiment of the invention which can be applied to any one of the variants described above, the angle of inclination of the plate (s) (a rotary plate in the case of the first variant, a fixed plate in the case of the second variant, or a rotating plate and a swash plate in the case of the third variant) of each set of pumping elements is between 70 ° and 90 ° in absolute value with respect to the axis of the 'drive shaft. In other words, the plate (s) of one of the assemblies is inclined between 0 and 20 ° relative to the plane of symmetry of the first and second pumping assemblies, and the plate (s) of the other assembly is inclined between -20 ° and 0 with respect to this same plane of symmetry.

L'invention concerne également l'utilisation de la pompe selon l'invention pour une opération de forage, en particulier pour l'injection de boues de forage dans un puits de forage. En effet, la pompe selon l'invention permettant d'équilibrer la répartition des charges axiales, il est possible de dimensionner une pompe selon l'invention de manière à résister aux hautes pressions et aux hauts débits. En effet, cette amélioration de la répartition des charges axiales peut permettre de multiplier le nombre de pistons pour atteindre le débit souhaité, et ce, avec un encombrement radial plus faible (pistons en plus grand nombre et de plus petit diamètre). Par exemple la pompe selon l'invention peut être dimensionnée pour fonctionner jusqu'à des pressions de l'ordre de 1500 bars, c'est-à-dire 150 MPa. En outre, la pompe selon l'invention peut être dimensionnée pour fonctionner à des débits variant de 30 à 600 m3/h.The invention also relates to the use of the pump according to the invention for a drilling operation, in particular for the injection of drilling mud into a wellbore. Indeed, the pump according to the invention making it possible to balance the distribution of the axial loads, it is possible to size a pump according to the invention so as to withstand high pressures and high flow rates. Indeed, this improvement in the distribution of the axial loads can make it possible to multiply the number of pistons to achieve the flow rate. desired, and with a smaller radial size (more pistons and smaller diameter). For example, the pump according to the invention can be sized to operate up to pressures of the order of 1500 bars, that is to say 150 MPa. In addition, the pump according to the invention can be sized to operate at flow rates varying from 30 to 600 m 3 / h.
