DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(6) It is to be noted that the embodiments of the disclosure and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. The disclosure is described below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments in detail.

(7) The disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which are not to be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the disclosure.

(8) A pumping unit in some embodiments of the disclosure includes a rack, a drive system for supplying power to a vertical pumping unit, a control system for controlling the drive system, a speed reducer 7 mounted on the rack, a transmission system supported by the rack, a pumping rod hanging load, and a lubricating system. The working process is as follows: a motor drives the speed reducer 7 to rotate, a transmission wheel mounted on an output shaft of the speed reducer 7 drives the transmission system to move, and the control system controls the motor to rotate forwardly and reversely, so that a movement of the transmission system drives a pumping rod hanging load to move up and down to complete an oil recovery process, and the lubricating system provides automatic lubrication for the whole transmission system during an operation of the pumping unit.

(9) As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the lubricating system for a pumping unit includes: an oil pool 1. The oil pool 1 is located on a base at a bottom of a rack, and is a pool space with a certain amount of lubricating oil. A transmission wheel of a transmission system is impregnated in the oil pool 1. The lubricating system further includes a roller lubrication device 3 disposed on the rack and contacted with a transmission conveying device 2, a splash collection system at a top and inside of the rack, and an oil spill filter device 6 disposed above the oil pool 1. In the present embodiment, the transmission wheel is a sprocket, and the transmission conveying device 2 is a chain.

(10) The roller lubrication device 3 includes three or more roller lubrication parts disposed in sequence, which can provide reliable lubrication to the entire chain, and a plurality of roller lubrication parts can also play a guiding role, can stabilize the entire long chain, and can assist in achieving the effect of smooth movement of the transmission conveying device.

(11) The splash collection system includes a guiding plate for the top of the rack 4 and a guiding plate for a top of the balancing device 5. The splash collection system guides splashing oil, flushing stains and dust during the movement of the transmission system of the pumping unit to the oil spill filter device 6 above the oil pool. Due to a larger acceleration and centrifugal force of a rotating part of the sprocket, lubricating oil is easily splashed out of the sprocket and the chain, and a splash collection part is provided at the rotating position of the sprocket to maximize the collection of the splashing oil during the operation of an apparatus.

(12) The oil spill filter device 6 collects the splashing oil of the transmission system, and the splashing oil is precipitated by a first cleaning device and filtered by a second cleaning device. In the present embodiment, the first cleaning device is a precipitation box 62, the second cleaning device is a filter screen 63, the splashing oil is cleaned twice and then flows back into the oil pool 1 to form cleaning for the lubricating oil, and the cleaned lubricating oil is recycled.

(13) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the oil spill filter device 6 further includes a housing 61. The precipitation box 62 is disposed at a bottom of the housing 61 detachably. The precipitation box 62 includes a box body, magnets 64 for attracting impurities, and two hook-type lifting devices 65. The magnets 64 are arranged in two rows and disposed on the left side wall and right side wall of the precipitation box respectively, each row is provided with a plurality of magnets 64. The magnets 64 have a large attraction force, and can attract impurities such as iron filings in the splashing oil around the magnets 64 of the precipitation box to a large extent. The lifting devices 65 are used to lift the precipitation box 62, so that the precipitation box 62 is detachably taken out, and the impurities in the precipitation box 62 can be removed more conveniently.

(14) The housing 61 of the oil spill filter device 6 includes a first section 61a, a second section 61b, a third section 61c and a fourth section 61d arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first section 61a is a section that tapers from top to bottom, has an inclined surface with a large area and an acute angle with a horizontal direction, and is mainly used for collecting the splashing return oil. The second section 61b is a side wall section of the housing 61 flared from top to bottom, used for fixing the filter screen 63. The design of the second section 61b ensures that the splashing oil does not touch the filter screen 63 fixed on the second section 61b first when the splashing oil falls, which reduces the clogging of the filter screen 63 and ensures the cleanliness of the filter screen. Both sides of the second section 61b are fixed with four rectangular filter screens respectively. In an exemplary embodiment, the filter screen is a 120-mesh copper filter screen, which fully filters impurities in the lubricating oil to ensure the cleanliness of return oil. The material copper of the filter screen 63 is not easy to rust, thereby further avoiding the clogging of the filter screen 63, and achieving a better filtering effect. The fourth section 61d is a section carrying the precipitation box 62, and the third section 61c is a transition portion of the second section 61b and the fourth section 61d. The design of the third section 61c serves to further guide the splashing oil inside the oil spill filter device 6, which allows the splashing oil to flow smoothly into the precipitation box 62.

(15) The working process of the lubricating system for a pumping unit of the disclosure is as follows: a lower portion of the sprocket and a part of the chain meshed therewith are impregnated in the oil pool 1; when the sprocket rotates, the chain impregnated with lubricating oil is driven out of the oil pool 1; when the sprocket located in the oil pool 1 rotates clockwise, the chain impregnated with oil from the bottom oil pool 1 moves upward from a left side of the sprocket and reaches the roller lubrication device 3. Due to the inherent viscosity of the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil will adhere to the roller lubrication device 3. When the sprocket located in the oil pool rotates for the same distance counterclockwise, the lubricating oil on the roller lubrication device 3 is applied to the chain of which an upper portion is not impregnated with the lubricating oil. At this time, a plurality of roller lubrication parts of the roller lubrication device 3 apply the lubricating oil to different sections of the chain, thus re-circulating to complete the self-lubrication of the entire transmission system.

(16) When the lubricating oil adheres to the chain and runs along with the chain, splashing occurs, especially at the turn of the chain, there is a large splash, and impurities generated by chain wear are mixed. The guiding plate for a top of the rack 4 and the guiding plate for a top of the balancing device 5 collect and guide the splashing lubricating oil, and gather the lubricating oil into the oil spill filter device 6 in accordance with a splash return oil direction as shown in FIG. 2. The splashing oil containing impurities is first gathered from a periphery toward a middle along the first section 61a, falls downward from an intersection of the first section 61a and the second section 61b, and then enters the precipitation box 62 of the oil spill filter device 6 for precipitation. During this process, the splashing oil containing impurities does not flow through the second section 61b, which reduces the clogging of the filter screen 63 on the second section 61b, and ensures the cleanliness of the filter screen 63. The design of the third section 61c serves to further guide the splashing oil inside the oil spill filter device, which allows the splashing oil to flow smoothly into the precipitation box. The magnets in the precipitation box 62 located in the fourth section 61d can attract iron impurities in the lubricating oil, and other solid impurities are precipitated to the bottom of the precipitation box 62. The lubricating oil gradually accumulates in the precipitation box. When an oil level exceeds a set liquid level, that is, is higher than a position of a bottom of the filter screen 63, the lubricating oil subjected to first cleaning (precipitation) is subjected to second cleaning (filtration) through the filter screen 63. The filter screen can clean a floating floater with smaller particles, and the cleaned lubricating oil is returned to the oil pool 1. As filter stains block the filter screen 63, the oil level will gradually rise. When the oil level rises to an oil spill filter level b above the filter screen shown in FIG. 2, the filter screen 63 cannot filter the lubricating oil. It is necessary to lift the precipitation box 62 by the lifting devices 65, and clean the precipitation box 62 and the filter screen 63 in time. Otherwise, the function of filtering the lubricating oil will be disabled.

(17) The above is only the preferred embodiments of the disclosure, not intended to limit the disclosure. As will occur to those skilled in the art, the disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.
