16 Claims.
The invention pertains to pumps such as are used for pumping subterranean fluids, and is especially directed to pumping mechanism of the type required for pumping oil, gas, water or other fluid substances obtained from wells.
The invention is directed particularly to the pumping engine and drive, and comprises a novel operating mechanism to actuate the polished or sucker rod. This construction conventionally includes an oscillating member, usually consisting of a walking beam, so-called.
One purpose of the present invention is to greatlyincrease the pumping stroke of the oscillating member relative to the driving stroke of the prime mover. Conversely, the present invention enables the employment of a prime mover of a lesser stroke than is commonly used.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mechanical movement between the driving element comprising the prime mover, and the driven element comprising the oscillating member, for the purpose of increasing the pumping stroke of the oscillating element relative to that of the prime mover. 1
Under conventional practice the walking beam driven by a prime mover comprising a crank gear unit, commonly so-called. The prime mover usually comprises a reciprocating engine of the gas expansion type, employing steam, air, gas, or some other suitable expansible fluid as its power source. The practice of the present invention contemplates a novel prime mover construction operative integral with walking beam mechanical movement. The engine of conventional prior art practice includes a distributing valve for distributing the power fluid to the respective engine heads timed to the operation of the engine. The present invention includes inter-drive mechanism between the distributing valve and the oscillating member, specifically between the valve and the drive mechanism of the walking beam, to operate the distributing valve from the oscillating member. This presents a departure from prior art practice, under which the prime mover is a self contained engine. The strokes of the engine of the present are timed to the strokes of the oscillating member. and power fluid distribution to the engine is directly responsive to the power requirements of the several strokes of the oscillating member. The reverse strokes of the oscillating member, as is well known, are respectively incident to the up and down strokes of the sucker rod, or power and idler strokes of the pump. Under the practice of the present invention, adjustment of the distributing valve is made in accordance with the power requirements of the respective strokes of the oscillating member.
The invention contemplates a novel distributing valve construction and operation by which the valve is rendered quick acting, which affords a minimum loss of expansion fluid, and a corresponding saving of power. The quick action mechanism comprises an over-drive of the interdrive between the oscillating member and the valve. The novel interconnection betweenthe oscillating member drive and the distributing valve times the valve operation adjustably to the end of the stroke of the oscillating member, the timing being directed to the operation of the over-drive mechanism.
Valves in the powerfluid lines between the distributing. valve and the respective engine heads insure smooth action in both the downstroke and the upstroke of the pump. The valve for the downstroke head may be a hand operated throttle valve, preferably of ordinary construction, and operable to regulate the quantity of pressure fluid fed to the downstroke head of the engine to regulate the speed of the walking beam during the downstroke. On the upstroke side a specially constructed choke valve is provided which, prevents jerking of the sucker rod in a manner to cause it to part.
The invention includes mechanism operable responsive to a failure of the subterranean pump, such for example, as the parting of the uprod or sucker rod, to shut off the power fluid supply to the distributing valve and to stop the pump Figure 3 is a cross sectional plan view taken -on line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a cross sectional elevation taken on line 44 of Figure 1;
Figure 5 is a cross sectional elevation through the center plane of the valve cutofi mechanism; and
Figure 6 is a cross sectional elevation of the choke valve to the engine head for the pump power stroke.
As illustrated in the drawings, the invention comprises an oscillating member II, in the instant case comprising a walking beam mounted to pivot at l2 on the pivot journals I3 which rest fixed to the Sampson post or similar support structure I4. The support structure comprises upright beams l5 projecting upwardly from the base member l6 which, in the instant case, is in the'form of a skid.
'oppositeend the longitudinal beam |1 carries the adjustable counterweights 20 which are of well known construction and require no further explanation in this application. The beam i1 is flxed to the rocking bracket 2| which pivots on the pin i2 and which includes the driven gear segment 22 as an integral part thereof.
The beam I1 is driven by the engine, generally indicated by reference numeral 25, which is of the fluid expansion type driven by steam, compressed air, gas, or some other expansible fluid. The engine is of the two-stroke, double-action type and is, therefore, equipped with a cylinder 26 and a piston 21 attached to the piston rod 28. As the engine operates it reciprocates the rod 28 longitudinally to drive the beam l1.
The piston rod 28 1s pivotal-1y attached at 29 to the main lever 30 which pivots on the pin l2 and projects downwardly in the manner shown in Figures 1 and 2. Intermediate of its length, between the pivot pin l2 and the pivot attachment 29, the lever 39 carries a pivot pin 3|. The auxiliary lever 32 is mounted to pivot on the pin 3|, as shown. One arm of the lever is adapted to be held in fixed position by means of the holding arm 33, one end of which is connected to the fixed plate 34 by means of the pin 35, the fixed plate 34 being rigidly attached to one of the upright beams l as shown. The other end of the holding arm 33 is pivotallyattached to one arm 36 of the lever 32 by means of the pivot pin 31. The other arm 38 of the lever 32 carries the pinion segment 39 which meshes with the gear segment 22, fixed to the beam l1.
It will, thus, be seen that as the piston rod 28 reciprocates under normal reciprocation of the engine it will oscillate the main lever 30, carrying with it the intermediate pivot pin 3|. The drive of the beam |1 will, therefore, be transmitted through the mechanism comprising the lever 3|], the pivot pin 3|, the driving pinion segment 33 and the gear segment 22. This intermediate gear and lever drive of the beam |1 affords a much greater throw than is attainable by a direct lever drive to the beam H.
The driving mechanism is constructed to permit adjustment of the stroke of the beam l1, this consisting of the holes 40 and 4| in the flxed plate 34 and auxiliary lever 32, respectively, which holes 40 and 4| are adapted to respectively receive the connecting pin 35 and the pivot pin 31 of the holding arm 33. Adjustment of the holding arm 33 adjusts the. lever arm between the pivot pins 3| and 31.
The reciprocating engine rocks on the trunnions 43, Figure 4, pivoted in the engine support bracket 44, mounted on the base-member IS. The trunnions 43 permit rocking of the engine to allow for deviation from the horizontal of the piston rod 28 which is incidental to the swing of the main drive lever 30.
The engine valve mechanism may obviously be constructed integral with the cylinder, but in the embodiment shown is separately mounted on the support bracket 45 attached to the main base member l6. As clearly illustrated in Figure 3, the valve is of the two-way, two-stroke type and comprises the valve cylinder 46 which receives the valve head 41 fixed to the valve stem 48 to reciprocate therewith.
The valve is provided with the intake port 49 connected with the fluid pressure line 55. The intake port 49 communicates with the respective left and right engine ports 5| and 52 which are connected to the opposite left and right engine heads 53 and 54, respectively, by the respective fluid lines 55 and 56. The engine ports 5| and 52 in the valve communicate with the respective left and right exhaust ports 51 and 56. The valve head 41 controls communication between the intake port 49 and the respective engine ports 5| and 52, and between the engine ports and respective exhaust ports 51 and 55, to distribute pressure fluid alternatively to the respective engine heads 53 and 54 and to exhaust the head which is not operating the power stroke.
When the valve stem moves to the left, in Figure 3, and the valve head 41 attains the position illustrated therein, the intake port 49 is in communication with the left side engine port 5| to feed power fluid to the left side engine head 53. Simultaneously the right side engine port 52 in the valve is in communication with the exhaust port 55 on the right side of the valve, for flushing out the right side engine head 54. The piston 41 now moves to the right under power from the left side engine head 53, flushing out the right side engine head 54 through the line 56, the engine port 52 in the valve, and the exhaust port 58 at the right of the valve. As the piston 21 reaches the end of its stroke to the right, the valve stem 48 moves to the right in Figure 3, carrying the valve head 41 with it, operation of the valve head being performed by mechanism to be described more fully hereinafter. When the valve head'41 attains the righthand end of its stroke in Figure 3, the intake port 49 is in communication with the right engine port 52, the valve head 41 operating in this position to cut off communication between the engine port 52 and the exhaust port 59. Now power fluid enters the right side engine head 54 to drive the piston 21 to the left. The left side engine port 5| in the valve is in communication with the left side exhaust port 51 to drop the pressure in the left side engine head 53, and to permit the head 53 to be flushed out as the piston moves to the left.
The valve stem 48 is reciprocated by the main lever 30 which is connected to the valve actuating lever 59 by means of the connecting rod 60, pivoted to 59 at 6|. The opposite end of the connecting rod 60 slides longitudinally through the sleeve 62 which swivels in the base member 63, the base member 63 being fixed to the lever 30, adjustable longitudinally thereof by means of the slot 64, Figure 2. The rod 69 carries the respective left and right abutment stops 65 and 66 fixed thereto and adjustable longitudinally of the rod, the adjustment being in accordance with the swing of the lever 30. Attached to the sleeve 62 on the left and rightside thereof are the respective helical compression springs 61 and 68 which surround the rod 60. Attached to each spring are the respective abutments 61', 66', respectively adapted to engage and actuate the abutment stops 65 and 65.
The valve actuating lever 59 is pivoted at 1| to the bracket 12 fixed to the valve support bracket 45, as illustrated in Figure 4. At its lower extremity the lever 59 carries the cam follower roller 13 which operates on the face of the cam 14. The cam 14 is carried by the guide rod 15 which slides vertically in the guideway 16. The guide rod 15 projects through the bracket 12,
and is surrounded by the compression spring 11, the spring II being opposed by the bracket I2 and the stop collar I8 fixed to the guide rod I5. The cam I4 carries the guide pins I9 which project downwardly through the apertures 88 in the base member I6. The guide pins 19 cooperate with the guideway I6 to confine movement of the cam I4 in a vertical line.
Between the pivot II and the pivot attachment SI of the connecting rod 68 the lever 59 has a slot 8I disposed longitudinally thereof. The pin 82, Figure 3, projects laterally of the slide rod 83 and extends into the slot 8I to connect the lever 59 and slide rod 83 with freedom of movement of the pin 82 longitudinally of the lever 59 as it swings. The slide rod 83 moves longitudinally of the valve in the respective left and right guide collars 84 and .85 attached to the respective left and right valve heads 86, 81. Thecross member 88 is attached to the slide rod 83 and projects laterally therefrom to engage the valve stem 48. Attached to the valve stem 48 and adjustable longitudinally thereof by the respective left and right look nuts 89 and 98 is the sleeve 9| on which the cross member 88 slides, the movement of the cross member 88 to the left and right being limited by the respective lock nuts 89 and 98.
As the walking beam II oscillates its stroke is determined by the oscillation of the main drive lever 38 driven by the engine 25. The abutment engage the abutment stop 66 at a predetermined point in the stroke of the lever 38 to the right, and accordingly at a predetermined point in the stroke of the beam [1. Upon the abutment 6I' engaging the stop 65 as the lever 38 moves to the left, and as the lever moves to the right upon the abutment 68 engaging the stop 66,-the respective springs 61 and 68 are compressed against the resistance exerted upon the connecting rod 68 by the valve actuating lever 59 and its operating mechanism. The compression of the respective springs 61 and 68 continues until they develop force enough to overcome the resistance exerted by the lever 59, at which time the lever 59 is actuated to swing on its pivot, to the left in Figure 1, when the lever 38 is moving to the left, and to the right towards the position shown in Figure 1 when the lever 38 is moving to the right. By the mechanism-described the actuation of the lever 59 is held in abeyance until the compression of either the spring 61 or 68, which is determined by the lever 38 attaining the left or right limits respectively of its stroke as timed by the adjustment of the abutment stops 65, 66.
As the lever 59 is actuated, in the manner hereinbefore described, the cam I4 is depressed as the cam follower I3 rides up its face. The face of the cam I4 is crowned, as illustrated in Figure l. The cam follower roller I3 rides up the face of the cam toward the crown against the compression of the spring II and as the roller rides beyond the crown the compression spring 11 acts to actuate the lever 59 for the rest of its stroke. Thus the action of the lever 59 is delayed by the described connection between the connecting rod 68 and the lever 38. When actuation of the lever 59 takes place it becomes a snap action propelled by the combined power of the springs I1 and either 61 or 68 depending upon the'direction of the stroke. The sleeve 9| provides lost motion between the slide rod 83 and the valve tributor valve cylinder 46'to the respective engine heads 53 and 54, there are provided the valves H5 and II6. The valve II5 comprises a simple hand operated throttle valve, and may be of any convenient construction. It is operable to regulate the quantity of power fluid fed to the engine head 53 and since the engine head 53 operates as the power source of the downstroke of the mulehead I9, the valve II5 operates to regulate the speed of movement of the walking beam II during the downstroke of the pump.
The valve II6 comprises a choke which operates to check the pumping power stroke, which is the upstroke of the mulehead I9, to prevent the mulehead I9 from jerking the sucker rod. Such jerking might cause the sucker rod to part and cause failure of the pump. The choke valve II6, illustrated in detail in Figure 6, comprises a valve chamber Tim the line 56. The poppet II8, fixed to the stem H9, is spring actuated to closing position against the seat I28 by means of the compression spring I2I. The compression spring I2I is confined between the abutment collar I22, fixed to the stem I I9, and the gland collar I23. The gland collar I23, together with the housing I24, encloses the packing I25to prevent the escape of power fiuid along the outside of the stem I I9. The poppet I I8 is provided with a concentric fluid passage I26 and a valve seat I2I positioned to receive the choke valve stem I28. The valve stem I28 is concentric with the valve stem I I9 and is held in fixed position within the stem II9 by the screw threads I29. The closure cap I38 is provided upon the valve stem II9 for the purpose of closing the outer end of the bore therein.
Pressure of the power fluid in the line 56 from the port 52 of the valve cylinder 46 to the choke valve II6 lifts the poppet II8 away from its seat I28 against the action of the spring I2I. This takes place during the power stroke of the head 54. Lifting of the poppet II8 from its seat I 28 permits the power fluid to pass into the line 56' to the engine head 54.
On the power stroke of the head 53, which is the exhaust stroke of the head 54, the power fluid is exhausted into the line 56' and to the line 56 through the passage I26 in the poppet I I8 to exhaust the engine head 54. In this manner the action of the engine head 53 in the downstroke of the mulehead I9 is resisted by the constriction of the passage between the valve stem I28 and its seat I2I. Thus, the power of the downstroke of the mulehead I9 is opposed, and the sucker rod with the sucker attached thereto is able to drop of its own weight instead of being power driven down. The mulehead I9, therefore, does not override the sucker rod.
The valve II 5 in the line 55 to the engine head 53 is adjusted in accordance with this opposition to the power stroke of the engine head I, to regulate the speed of downward movement'oi the mulehead III in time with the movement of the sucker rod falling from its own weight. By this means, when the sucker reaches the extreme lowermost position of its stroke and the engine head 54 operates to lift the mulehead I0, there is no slack in the line comprising the sucker rod connecting the mulehead with the sucker. When the mulehead I9 begins to rise under power from the engine head 54, there is a uniform pull throughout the length of the sucker rod. There is no jerking in any portion of the length of the sucker rod such as would result from taking up of slack. Slack would develop if the downstroke of the mulehead I9 were to operate to push the sucker rod down, or if the weight of the sucker rocl did not hang suspended from the mulehead during the downstroke. In the upstroke the passage of power fluid from the line 56 through the line 56 is not effected by the constriction between the stem I28 and its seat I21 because this constricted passage adds area to the passage between the poppet H8 and its seat I20.
The invention includes a means to shut off the pressure fluid automatically when the pump fails, as for example when there is a break in the sucker rod or somewhere between the mulehead and the subterranean pump. Attached to the base member I6 and projecting upwardly therefrom are the pair of upright support beams 96 held in position by the steadying beam 91 which projects from the upright beams I5 of the main support structure I4. The upright support 96 carries a socket 98 which comprises a housing for the compression spring 99 which backs the buffer button I00. The buffer button I is present to absorb the momentum of the counterweight 20 when the walking beam I1 completes a power stroke in the clockwise direction in Figure 1, and goes beyond the end of its normal stroke for any reason, for example, as when the pump fails in a manner as hereinbefore explained.
The buifer button has the stem IOI attached thereto which projects downwardly through the end wall of the socket 98 and into the guide tube I02. Extending through the tube from the opposite direction is the stem I03 held in place longitudinally of the guide tube I02 by the shear pin I04. The opposite end of the stem I03 is attached to the stem I05 of the cutofi valve I06 which, in the embodiment shown, constitutes a gate valve. The cutoff valve I05, it will be noted, is in the pressure line 50 of the expansion fluid. A housing I0'I attached to the upright support 96 carries the guide tube I02 on one end and a guideway for the valve stem I05 on the opposite end. The housing I0'I also supports the pivot bracket I08 which supports the counterweighted arm I09 linked thereto by linkage III, from the extremity of the arm I09. The counterweighted arm I09 extends through the yoke I I2 as a support, the yoke I I2 being integral with the stem intermediate the valve stem end I05, and the shear pin end of the stem I03.
If, for some reason, the upstroke on the mulehead loses its resistance, as for example when the sucker rod parts, the counterweight 20 will make a greater downward stroke than is normal and will actuate the builer pin I00 against the action of the spring 99 with much greater force than in a normal stroke. This force will be sufflcient for the buffer pin stem IM to engage and actuate the valve operating stem I to shear the pin I04. Thereupon the weight III will operate to actuate the valve stem I", to operate the cutoff valve I. By this mechanism the engine ceases operating immediately upon failure 01 the pump, and no load operation or the engine 25 with consequent racing thereoi and loss of power fluid is eliminated.
