Ⅴ. Transmission Process The power transmission process of the power end of the F1600HL Electric Motor Driven Drilling Mud Pump is as follows: Motor Power Output: After the motor of the electric drive system is started, it generates rotational power. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the gear shaft, transmitting the power to the gear shaft. Gear Transmission: The gear on the gear shaft meshes with the bull gear. The rotation of the gear drives the bull gear to rotate. The bull gear is closely combined with the bull gear shaft through a key connection or other fixing methods, and the bull gear shaft rotates with the bull gear, thus transmitting the power from the gear shaft to the bull gear shaft assembly. Crankshaft Rotation: The rotational motion of the bull gear shaft is transmitted to the crankshaft, driving the crankshaft to rotate. The crankshaft is usually an integral casting made of alloy steel, which is precisely processed and inspected by flaw detection. Connecting Rod Transmission: The crankshaft is connected to the crosshead through the connecting rod. The rotational motion of the crankshaft is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the crosshead through the connecting rod. During the movement of the connecting rod, one end moves in a circular motion with the crankshaft, and the other end drives the crosshead to move in a reciprocating linear motion in the slideway. Crosshead Driving the Piston: The crosshead is connected to the intermediate tie rod, and the intermediate tie rod is then connected to the piston. The reciprocating linear motion of the crosshead is transmitted to the piston through the intermediate tie rod, making the piston move reciprocally in the cylinder, thus providing power for the hydraulic end and realizing the suction and discharge of the mud. The power transmission process of the hydraulic end of the F1600HL Electric Motor Driven Drilling Mud Pump is as follows: Piston Reciprocating Motion: The crosshead at the power end drives the piston to move reciprocally in the cylinder through the intermediate tie rod. When the piston moves backward, a negative pressure is formed in the cylinder; when the piston moves forward, the mud in the cylinder is compressed, and the pressure increases. Suction Process: When the piston moves backward, the pressure in the cylinder decreases to form a vacuum. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the mud pushes open the suction valve and enters the cylinder. The suction air chamber can stabilize the suction pressure and reduce pressure fluctuations, enabling the mud to enter the cylinder more smoothly. Discharge Process: When the piston moves forward, the mud in the cylinder is compressed, and the pressure increases. The suction valve closes, and the discharge valve is pushed open. The mud is forced out of the cylinder and is transported to the drill pipe through the discharge manifold and then sent to the bottom of the well. The function of the discharge air chamber is to reduce the pressure fluctuations in the discharge system, making the discharged mud flow more stable. Ⅵ. MaintenanceDaily Maintenance Check Operating Parameters: Check the operating parameters of the pump every day, including pressure, flow rate, motor current, and voltage, etc., to ensure that these parameters operate within the specified range. If any abnormal parameters are found, stop the machine immediately to check the cause. Check the Lubrication System: Before each start-up and during operation, check the oil level, oil quality, and oil temperature of the lubricating oil at the power end. The oil level should be maintained within the specified scale range. The oil quality should be clean without impurities and emulsification. Generally, the oil temperature should not exceed the specified value (usually 60 - 70℃).

If leakage is found, find out the cause in time and replace the damaged sealing parts. Clean the Equipment: Regularly clean the mud, oil stains, dust, and other sundries on the surface of the pump body to keep the equipment clean. Pay special attention to cleaning the dust on the motor cooling fins to ensure good heat dissipation of the motor. Regular Maintenance Replace Vulnerable Parts: According to the running time and wear condition of the pump, regularly replace vulnerable parts such as pistons, cylinder liners, valve seats, valve plates, and crosshead sliders, etc. It is generally recommended to check and replace these vulnerable parts after running for a certain number of hours (such as 500 - 1000 hours). Check Components at the Power End: Regularly open the inspection cover of the power end, check the wear condition of components such as gears, crankshafts, and connecting rods, measure the fit clearance of each component. If the wear exceeds the specified range, repair or replace it in time. At the same time, check the tightness of each connecting bolt to ensure a firm connection. Check Components at the Hydraulic End: Regularly disassemble the valve box at the hydraulic end, check the sealing performance and wear condition of the valve seat and valve plate, and clean up the sundries and mud deposits in the valve box. Measure the wear of the cylinder liner. If the inner diameter wear of the cylinder liner exceeds the specified value, replace it in time. Calibrate the Safety Valve: Regularly calibrate the safety valve to ensure that it can be reliably opened and closed within the specified pressure range to protect the safety of the equipment. Generally, the safety valve should be calibrated every six months or once a year. Maintain the Electrical System: Regularly check the insulation resistance of the motor to ensure good insulation. Clean the dust inside the frequency converter, control cabinet, and other electrical equipment, and check whether the connections of each electrical component are loose. If loose, tighten them in time. Maintenance in Special Situations Long-term Shutdown: If the pump needs to be shut down for a long time, comprehensive maintenance and protection should be carried out. First, empty the mud in the pump and rinse the hydraulic end and pipeline system thoroughly with clean water to prevent the mud from settling and solidifying. Then, apply anti-rust oil to the exposed parts of the power end and the hydraulic end to prevent rust. Finally, park the pump in a dry and well-ventilated place and turn the pump shaft regularly to prevent the parts from rusting and jamming. After Fault Repair: After the pump malfunctions and is repaired, focus on checking and testing the repaired parts. Ensure that the repaired parts are correctly installed and firmly connected, and that all performance indicators meet the requirements. At the same time, conduct a trial run of the entire pump unit, check whether the operation is stable and whether the parameters are normal. Only after confirming that there are no problems can it be put into formal use.    

During the production process of oil drilling, malfunctions frequently occur in the mud pumps of drilling rigs. To ensure the continuous and stable delivery of mud by the F-type drilling mud pump and maintain the normal operation of drilling, it is necessary to conduct troubleshooting and repairs. Today, let's delve into the common faults of the F-type drilling mud pump and the corresponding repair methods. I. Insufficient PressureAt the drilling site, the pressure of the mud pump suddenly fails to rise. The reasons for this situation are as follows:   Blockage in the suction pipeline: Rock debris and sediment mixed in the mud accumulate over time, easily clogging the suction pipe and hindering the smooth entry of mud into the pump body. When troubleshooting, first shut down the machine and then inspect the suction pipeline section by section to check for obvious accumulations of foreign matter. The repair method is quite simple. Disassemble the clogged section, clean it thoroughly, and then reinstall it as it was.Wear of pistons or cylinder liners: After long-term, high-intensity operations, wear and tear of  mud pump pistons and cylinder liners are inevitable. Excessive wear significantly reduces the sealing performance between the two, causing the pressure to fail to rise. We can preliminarily judge whether this is the cause of insufficient pressure by observing whether there are metal debris in the discharged mud. Once confirmed, new pistons and cylinder liners that match the specifications should be replaced. When installing, be sure to apply an appropriate amount of lubricant to ensure a tight fit between the piston and the cylinder liner.Fault in the safety valve: The safety valve is designed to prevent pressure overload during operation. If the safety valve gets stuck in the open position, the pressure will keep discharging. At this time, check the valve core and spring of the safety valve to see if there are any signs of seizure or breakage. If the valve core is stuck, clean the debris and readjust the spring pressure to restore normal operation.   II. Abnormal FlowFluctuations in flow, either sudden highs and lows or consistently low levels, can also severely disrupt the drilling process.   Air intake: If the suction end of the mud pump is not tightly sealed, air will enter. We will notice abnormal sounds and vibrations when the mud pump is running. Carefully inspect the connection parts of the suction pipe and the sealing gaskets. Once the air leakage point is found, tighten the bolts or replace the new sealing parts to prevent air from entering.Unstable pump speed: A fault in the power source may be the cause. Clogged fuel injection nozzles in diesel engines or phase loss in electric motors can lead to unstable pump speeds. Use professional instruments to measure the output power and speed of the power equipment and then solve the corresponding problems. For diesel engines, clean the fuel injection nozzles and calibrate the fuel injection pump; for electric motors, check the circuits to solve the phase loss problem and return the mud pump to a stable operating speed.Impeller damage: For F-type mud pumps with impellers, if the impeller has cracks or deformations, its ability to transport mud will be immediately weakened. We need to disassemble the pump casing to check the condition of the impeller. If the damage is minor, attempt to repair and calibrate it; if the damage is severe, replace it with a brand-new impeller to ensure the normal operation of mud transportation.   III. Abnormal Noise and VibrationHarsh noises and severe vibrations from the pump body are warning signs of malfunctions.   Unstable foundation installation: If the installation foundation of the mud pump is uneven or the anchor bolts are loose, abnormal sounds will be emitted during operation. We need to recalibrate the installation position, reinforce the anchor bolts, and place suitable shock-absorbing pads under the base of the mud pump.Bearing wear: It is common for the balls and raceways of bearings to become worn out and fail due to long-term, high-speed operation. If the mud pump has a high temperature and sharp noises, it can be basically determined that there is a problem with the bearings. At this time, first shut down the machine, then turn the pump shaft by hand to feel the resistance and clearance. If the bearings are severely worn, replace them without hesitation, and adjust the preload according to the specifications during installation.Foreign matter stuck in the pump: Small pieces of metal or rock debris that get into the mud pump and get stuck in key parts such as the impeller and piston will cause abnormal noises. We need to disassemble the relevant components of the pump body, clean out the foreign matter, and also check the source of the foreign matter entry and take protective measures to prevent a second intrusion.   Although the F-type drilling mud pump has a complex structure, as long as you are familiar with the troubleshooting ideas and repair methods for common faults, you can quickly respond to unexpected situations, minimize downtime, ensure the smooth progress of the drilling project, save costs, and steadily advance the project. Next time you encounter problems with the mud pump, you can conduct troubleshooting according to the above methods.

Drilling mud pump is the core equipment for petroleum drilling rig package, and following is the installation procedure of drilling mud pump unit. 1. The drilling pump and the base must be placed on a horizontal basis, the pump should be kept as horizontal as possible, and the horizontal deviation should not exceed 3mm, in order to facilitate the correct distribution of lubricating oil at the power end during operation.   2. The position of the pump should be as low as possible, and the position of the drilling mud tank should be raised as much as possible to facilitate suction.   3. The inner diameter of the suction pipe of the pump shall not be smaller than the inner diameter of the connection part of the pump. Before installation, it is necessary to clean the pump suction and pipelines, the suction line must not have air leakage, valves and elbows should be installed as little as possible, valves must use full-open valves. The length of the inlet pipe should be kept within the length range of 2.1m~3.5m to reduce the friction loss and inertia loss in the suction pipe, which is helpful. For suction, the suction line should be 300mm higher than the bottom of the drilling mud tank.   4. In order to smooth the operation of the pump and extend the life of the wear parts, the drilling pump needs to be equipped with a super charging pump. Between the inlet of the pump and the outlet of the charging pump. There should be a safety valve, which is adjusted to 0.5MPa, which protects the charging pump from damage in the event of overpressure in the suction pipe.   5. The connection between the suction pipe and the drilling mud tank cannot be directly opposite the drilling fluid return point above the drilling fluid pool, so as not to suck the drilling fluid tank bottom debris.   6. Firmly support all suction and discharge lines so that they are not subjected to unnecessary stress and reduce vibrations, which must never be caused by. There is not enough support to allow the line to hang on the pump.   7. In order to prevent damage to the drilling fluid pump due to excessive pressure, the relief valve must be installed at the outlet near the pump, and the safety valve must be installed before any valve, so that if the pump is accidentally started when the valve is closed, and the pump will not be damaged, the relief valve must be installed. The seamless steel pipe for the outlet is led directly to the mud pool, and this seamless steel pipe should have as few turns as possible. If turning, the elbow should be larger than 120°, do not lead the discharge end of the safety valve to the suction pipe of the pump with a pipe, so as to avoid high-pressure drilling fluid drainage when the safety valve is opened out causing unnecessary accidents.

Cylinder liner is one of the main wear parts of drilling mud pump, which is often caused by serious abrasive wear and erosion wear to increase the inner diameter, and gradually form a large gap with the piston, resulting in mud leakage and pump pressure drop. At present, most of the cylinder liners used in oil fields are bimetal cylinder liners, although its inner layer is made of high chromium cast iron with high wear-resistant coating, but the service life is only 400~600 hours, and about 4500 pieces are consumed in Liaohe oilfield alone every year. The potential of expensive high chromium cast iron materials has not been fully realized. In the spirit of increasing revenue and saving expenditure, we have been carrying out trial repair of the scrapped cylinder liner of the 3NB-800 pump since February 1988. For example, its inner diameters of 130 mm and 140 mm were changed to 140 mm and 150 mm respectively. A total of 300 liners have been repaired and tried to be used in the Liaohe oilfield. The trial results show that its life span is as much as 500 hours, This is equivalent to the service life of a new liner, while the repair cost is only 50% of the price of a new liner. At present, there are four kinds of cylinder liners 130, 140, 150 and 160 mm commonly used in Liaohe Oilfield, and there is a high chromium cast iron with a thickness of 6 ~ 8 mm on the inner diameter surface. Usually, after the inner diameter is worn by 0.5~0.8mm, the cylinder liner fails. From this, it is possible to explore the potential of high-chromium cast iron and transform the obsolete cylinder liners into new cylinder liners with a larger inner diameter, as following; 1. Preparation before repair ( 1 ) Carefully select those centrifugally poured high chromium cast iron layers with uniform thickness from the waste cylinder liners, and in the inner diameter reprocessing and reheat treatment, it is possible to meet the requirements of technical conditions as repair objects. ( 2 ) Seal the repaired cylinder liner for cleaning, and use sandpaper or wire brush to remove rust spots and dirt on the inner and outer surfaces. ( 3 ) According to the technical requirements, repair welding is carried out on the defective parts of the outer surface and end of the cylinder liner. 2. Repair procedure There are two types of repair processes, one is to machine after heat treatment, and the other is to machine directly without heat treatment. (A) Method of machining after heat treatment (1) Select 130, 140, 150 mm cylinder liners with a layer thickness of 6~8 mm and place them in the furnace for protection annealing. When annealing, the cylinder liner should be placed upright in the heating furnace, and its stop end should be up. The hardness after annealing should be HRC 30~35. (2) After annealing, the machining process is carried out according to the inner diameter size requirements of the "new cylinder liner", and the grinding amount is left (the usual grinding allowance is 0.4 mm. (3) Protective quenching after machining processing, tempering should be carried out immediately after quenching, and the time of intermediate parking should not exceed 24 hours. The hardness after tempering should reach HRC60~64. (3) The inner diameter of the cylinder liner after tempering is ground and honed to meet the requirements of the drawing. (B) Method of direct machining without heat treatment The cylinder liner that has undergone hardness test of HRC60 or more is directly turned by special tools, and the cutting speed is controlled during procedure: At 10~20 meters per minute, the passing amount is 0.3~0.6 mm per revolution, the cutting depth is 0.5~1.0 mm, and the grinding amount is left. Its inner diameter is finally ground and honed to meet the requirements of the drawing. The cylinder liner repaired by the above method should be painted and oiled after passing the inspection according to the technical requirement, and packaged for later use.
