Design and Performance Analysis of a Coal Bed Gas Drainage Machine Based on Incomplete Non-Circular Gears

In order to solve the problem of reciprocating motion in no beam supported mining machines, putting energy saving as a starting point in Coal Bed Methane (CBM) exploitation, this paper designs a completely non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine based on the theory of non-circular gear transmission. In the field of CBM exploitation, the use of non-circular gears is an attempt at an innovation. First of all, according to the working conditions of the pump and use requirements, a scheme is established whereby the one-way rotary motion of the motor is changed into reciprocating motion so that it could drive the oil pumping rod to achieve the upper and lower mining. Secondly, this paper has designed a new type non-circular gear reversing box as the core component to replace the traditional four beam linkage mechanism and also provides elaborate calculations. Finally, the movement simulation of the non-circular gear reversing gear system is completed. Comparing the motion simulation results with the theoretical ones, the correctness of our theoretical analysis can be verified. Compared with the traditional devices, the new coal seam gas drainage machine model design has nearly 11% higher efficiency, which has obvious energy saving effects and reduces the cost of mining coal seam gas.


Introduction
Chinese coal bed methane resources are relatively rich and concentrated which makes their exploitation a relatively new clean coal industry in the world [1].The exploitation technology of coal bed methane is largely based on the oil field experience, so the traditional beam pumping unit is still used in most of the equipment, as shown in Figure 1.Feng [2] analyzed the main defects of the beam pumping unit according to its working conditions.The main one is that beam pumping units use crank rocker mechanisms, which leads to their poor adaptability.When encountering some special coal seam gas, the overall size of the pumping unit needs to be adjusted to change the stroke, which seriously affects the efficiency of CBM exploitation.The low efficiency of the beam pumping unit is another reason and the energy waste of the pumping unit is very serious.Li and Fan [3], and Fu [4] have made some adjustments and improvements on the basis of the conventional beam drainage machine appeared the specific.However, Liu [5] and Fan [6] argue that this cannot solve the fundamental drawbacks of the crank rocker mechanism improving performance in a relatively small range and the poor adaptability and low working efficiency shortcomings of beam pumping will still exist.Based on this series of drawbacks, all kinds of new non-walking beam drainage machine have emerged.At present, Li [7], Liu [8] and Qi [9] have all done a lot of research on these machines which can be roughly divided into two types according to the switching mode, namely mechanical reversing and motor reversing.Niu [10] and Shao [11] have studied the typical chain drainage machine as an example of a non-beam mechanical reversing device, as shown in Figure 2. The utility model has the advantages of good balance performance, convenient adjustment balance, small side force when reversing and working and light weight.The disadvantage is that it has more moving parts, an unsealed gas balance system and it can lose load protection leading to a higher failure rate.

non-circular gears [17], which has formed a relatively perfect theoretical system about non-circlar gears.Marius [18] and Bair [19] and others have used computer software simulation and numerical

As shown in Figure 5, the working mechanism of the drainage machine is as follows.The motor is connected with the cycloid pinwheel reducer by a belt drive linked to the non-circular gear reversing box of the core through a coupling.The two speed transmission for extracting the machine's stroke is connected between the periodic rotation output shaft and cylinder, which is fixed with two winding belts, hanging on the vertical frame round crown sheave, with a belt connected with the counterweight box and a belt-connected sucker rod.After the motor is started and the power is transmitted to the non-circular gear reversing box, the output shaft drives the cylinder to complete a cycle of positive and reverse rotation through which each input shaft rotates for one circle, and the drainage machine realizes a stroke.When the cylinder is used for winding the belt of the sucker rod, the belt which is connected with the counterweight is released, the sucker rod runs upwards, and the drainage machine is in the upper stroke.When the cylinder releases the belt connecting the sucker rod, the oil pumping rod runs downward, and the drainage machine is in the lower stroke.By changing the size of motor end small pulley and the input speed of the non-circular gear reversing box, a regulation is made changing the cycle time output.By adjusting the two speed transmission between the cylinder and the non-circular gear box, the number of turns of the cylinder is changed as well as the stroke of the discharge machine.

Transmission Scheme and Working Principle of Incomplete Non-Circle Gear Reversing Box
Under the premise of constant rotation direction the design of the non-circular gear reversing box aims to realize the up and down movement of the sucker rod through outputting an automatic reversing circular motion and then driving the cylinder.The movement of the suspension point in a circulation cycle is generally as follows: starting downward from the upper limit, the suspension point accelerates to a certain extent, and then maintains a rapid uniform motion.When near the limit position the suspension point begins to decrease.When the non-circular gear box changes the output rotation direction, starting to accelerate rapidly from the lower limit position, the point reaches and maintains a certain position and begins to slow down close to the limit position, so the drainage is completed by the cycle.
Figure 6 is a structural sketch of the non-circular gear reversing box, and its specific working process is as follows: the power is transmitted to the input shaft 1 by the cycloidal reducer, where the input shaft 1 is designed to rotate clockwise, and the non-circular gear 5 is rotated clockwise.At this time, the non-circular gear 5 is engaged with the part of the non-circular gear 6, and is disengaged from 4. The power is transmitted from the non-circular gear 6 to the non-circular gear 4 by the cylindrical spur gear 7 and the 8, outputting from the cylindrical spur gear 8 through the cylindrical straight gear 9 counterclockwise to the output shaft 10.The input shaft 1 and non-circular gear 5 clockwise rotate 180 degrees, causing the non-circular gear 6 and cylinder gear 7 counterclockwise one time, non-circular gear 4 and spur gear 8 clockwise one time and the output shaft 10 and spur gear 9 counterclockwise one time.

In a cycle of the input shaft to rotate 360 degrees the input shaft 1 and a non-circular gear 5 clockwise rotate at a fixed speed.The output shaft 10 and gear 9 in the first half cycle are in a nonuniform motion counterclockwise rotation and second half by clockwise.The output movement embodied on the cylinder of the drainage machine is basically that in a stroke the cylinder rotates counterclockwise first and then clockwise.As Figure 7 shows, when the input shaft rotates 180 degrees and continues, the non-circular gear 5 engages with the part of the non-circular gear 4 and is disengaged from the part of the non-circular gear 6.The power is transmitted from the gear 4 to the gear 6 by the coaxial spur gear 8 and the spur gear 7, outputting from the cylindrical spur gear 8 through the cylindrical straight gear 9 clockwise to the output shaft 10.The input shaft 1 and non-circular gear 5 rotate clockwise from 180 degrees to 360, causing the gear 6 and cylinder gear 7 to rotate clockwise one time, non-circular gear 4 and spur gear 8 counterclockwise one time and the output shaft 10 and spur gear 9 clockwise one time.In this process, in addition to the input shaft 1 and the non-circular gear 5, the motion direction, time and angle of the other components are just the opposite of the first 180 degrees.

Figure 8 is a diagram of the pitch curve of a pair of non-circular gear with variable transmission ratio and outer engagement, taking the gear 1 as the driving wheel and the gear 2 as driven wheel.We set the center distance of the two gears to a, setting the angle of gear 1 as φ1 and the instantaneous angular velocity as ω, setting the gear 2 angle as φ2 and corresponding to the instantaneous angular velocity ω2.At the initial moment, φ1 = 0, φ2 = 0, the angular velocity ω1 is described by ω1 = dφ1/dt and angular velocity ω2 = dφ2/dt.When gear 1 is engaged with gear 2, there is a certain rotation function relation: In the variable transmission ratio and external meshing non-circular gear drive, the transmission ratio function 12 i is described by: In the range of φ1, this is a finite and the positive smooth function.According to Equations ( 1)-( 3), the angle function φ2 of gear 2 can be obtained by: From Figure 8, when two non-circular gears transmit at any moment, there is a point P relative velocity equal to zero, which is a node of gear transmission and also instantaneous velocity center.
When the point P is at the line of centers, the relative speed of two gears is zero, , and the instantaneous transmission ratio is available from: When the two gear center distance a is constant, the transmission ratio is variable making the corresponding r1, r2 to be variable, that the instantaneous center P position is not fixed.At this time, the trajectory of instantaneous center P is a non-circular curve, which is the instantaneous line of two gears, called non-circular gear pitch curve.

Figure 8 is a diagram of the pitch curve of a pair of non-circular gear with variable transmission ratio and outer engagement, taking the gear 1 as the driving wheel and the gear 2 as driven wheel.We set the center distance of the two gears to a, setting the angle of gear 1 as ϕ 1 and the instantaneous angular velocity as ω, setting the gear 2 angle as ϕ 2 and corresponding to the instantaneous angular velocity ω 2 .At the initial moment, ϕ 1 = 0, ϕ 2 = 0, the angular velocity ω 1 is described by ω 1 = dϕ 1 /dt and angular velocity ω 2 = dϕ 2 /dt.When gear 1 is engaged with gear 2, there is a certain rotation function relation: In the variable transmission ratio and external meshing non-circular gear drive, the transmission ratio function i 12 is described by: In the range of ϕ 1 , this is a finite and the positive smooth function.According to Equations ( 1)-( 3), the angle function ϕ 2 of gear 2 can be obtained by: From Figure 8, when two non-circular gears transmit at any moment, there is a point P relative velocity equal to zero, which is a node of gear transmission and also instantaneous velocity center.
When the point P is at the line of centers, the relative speed of two gears is zero, and the instantaneous transmission ratio is available from: When the two gear center distance a is constant, the transmission ratio is variable making the corresponding r 1 , r 2 to be variable, that the instantaneous center P position is not fixed.At this time, the trajectory of instantaneous center P is a non-circular curve, which is the instantaneous line of two gears, called non-circular gear pitch curve.In combination with the above analysis, the equations of the pitch curves of non-circular gear pairs are summarized in the form of polar coordinates.According to Equation ( 5), the polar equation of the pitch curve of gear 1 can be obtained by: According to Equations ( 2) and ( 5), the curve equation of gear 2 can be obtained by: With respect to the gear 1 and gear 2 described above, the measuring direction of φ1 and φ2 is opposite to the corresponding rotation angle ω1 and ω2.Therefore, when the center distance of a pair of non-circular gear pairs is determined, the pitch curve of the driving wheel 1 can be obtained by only knowing the transmission ratio function, and then the pitch curve of the driven wheel is obtained by Equation (7) [24,25].

Design of the Non-Circular Gear Pair
The purpose of designing a non-circular gear drive is that the suspension around at the dead center has slower movement speed and stable commutation, running rapidly in the middle section of the stroke to improve working efficiency.Because of the changing speed of the stroke, each section of the non-circular gear pair can be allocated as follows.For driving non circular gear 5, as shown in Figure 9, taking center O1 as the origin of polar coordinates the curvature radius of the pitch curve varies counterclockwise increasing gradually in the Section 1 of 60 degrees before transmission, unchanged in Section 2 of 60~120 degrees, decreased in the Section 1 of 120~180 degrees, and it is unnecessary to calculate it in the Section 3 of 180~360 degrees.In combination with the above analysis, the equations of the pitch curves of non-circular gear pairs are summarized in the form of polar coordinates.According to Equation ( 5), the polar equation of the pitch curve of gear 1 can be obtained by: According to Equations ( 2) and ( 5), the curve equation of gear 2 can be obtained by: With respect to the gear 1 and gear 2 described above, the measuring direction of ϕ 1 and ϕ 2 is opposite to the corresponding rotation angle ω 1 and ω 2 .Therefore, when the center distance of a pair of non-circular gear pairs is determined, the pitch curve of the driving wheel 1 can be obtained by only knowing the transmission ratio function, and then the pitch curve of the driven wheel is obtained by Equation (7) [24,25].

For the transition region of an active non-circular gear, we take the tangent of the circle of 90 mm radius at the end point of the effective section curve.For the transition region of the driven non-circular gear, the middle section of the intersection of the tangent line at the end point of the effective curve and circle for 270 mm radius are taken.The final fit figure is shown in Figure 13.In the design of this paper, the modulus m of non-circular gear is 12, the tooth width b is 250 mm, the largest outer diameter R is 270 mm, the addendum coefficient * is 1, and the clearance coefficient c* is 0.25.In this paper, the gear profile of non-circular gear is designed by means of a generating gear (pinion cutter), which is a method of meshing between involute cylindrical spur gears and non-circular gears.Finally, we use CAXA to create the non-circular gear profile, as shown in Figure 14.

Design of Non-Circular Gear Reversing Box
With every turn of the input shaft of the non-circular gear reversing box, the drainage machine completes a row extraction action, and that means it's done a run.Regardless of the magnitude of the reverse stroke, the non-circular gear reversing box always has this characteristic.The stroke size of the drainage machine directly reflects the rotation number of the roller, and it is related to the effective working radius of the roller.The number of turns of the roller is determined by the non-circular gear reversing box and the second gear transmission between the roller and the non-circular gear reversing box.In order to simplify the structure of the second gear transmission and reduce the energy losses during transmission, the output shaft of the non-circular gear reversing box can be In the design of this paper, the modulus m of non-circular gear is 12, the tooth width b is 250 mm, the largest outer diameter R is 270 mm, the addendum coefficient h * a is 1, and the clearance coefficient c* is 0.25.In this paper, the gear profile of non-circular gear is designed by means of a generating gear (pinion cutter), which is a method of meshing between involute cylindrical spur gears and non-circular gears.Finally, we use CAXA to create the non-circular gear profile, as shown in Figure 14.In the design of this paper, the modulus m of non-circular gear is 12, the tooth width b is 250 mm, the largest outer diameter R is 270 mm, the addendum coefficient * is 1, and the clearance coefficient c* is 0.25.In this paper, the gear profile of non-circular gear is designed by means of a generating gear (pinion cutter), which is a method of meshing between involute cylindrical spur gears and non-circular gears.Finally, we use CAXA to create the non-circular gear profile, as shown in Figure 14.

In the case where the non-circular gear reversing box output shaft is directly connected to the roller, this paper designs the structure of non-circular gear reversing box.In the processing of deduction, unit of angular velocity is defined as revolutions per second.When the stroke value of drainage machine polished rod is the maximum, it satisfies S max = 2.5 m, and roller diameter satisfies d = 300 mm.In a stroke, the speed of output shaft 10 is the same as that of the cylindrical spur gears 9 which is on output shaft 10 (see Figure 6): The speed of the cylindrical gear 8 in engagement with the standard cylindrical spur gear 9 is the same as that of driven non-circular gears 4 and 6.In a stroke, driven non-circular gears 4 and 6 rotate 300 degrees, the average speed n 8 of the standard cylindrical spur gear 8 is: When the stroke value is the maximum, it satisfies S max = 2.5 m, the actual transmission ratio i 89 between standard cylindrical spur gears 8 and 9 will satisfy: When the number of teeth of the pinion 9 satisfies Z 9 = 18, and large gears 8 and 7 satisfy Z 8 = Z 8 = 60, actual transmission ratio will satisfy: When the modulus satisfies m = 12, We can get S max = 2.6 m, diameter of the large cylindrical spur gears 8 and 7 are 720 mm, and the diameter of the small cylindrical spur gear 9 is 216 mm.

Efficiency Analysis of the New Drainage Machine and the Old
The non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine designed in this paper abandons the four-bar linkage of beam pumping units, so there will be some improvement in the work efficiency, and we will discuss the problem of the efficiency.
Generally, we regard the polished rod eye of the drainage machine as the dividing line, the efficiency above it is called the ground efficiency, and the efficiency under it is called downhole efficiency.This paper studies the use of non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine instead of beam pumping unit, so only the ground efficiency is simply analyzed.Because of the continuous change of the polished rod load when the drainage machine is working, its instantaneous input and output power also changes in real time, so the average working efficiency of each cycle is analyzed in order to facilitate the calculations.
(1) The ground efficiency of beam pumping unit The ground efficiency of the traditional three pumping equipment is mainly affected by the efficiency of the transmission parts, like the motor, belt drive, reducer and four-link linkage, so the ground efficiency formula is calculated as: In the formula above, η 1 -motor working efficiency; η 2 -belt pulley working efficiency; η 3 -reducer transmission efficiency; η 4 -four-bar linkage transmission efficiency.
Motor working efficiency: the efficiency of the motor nameplate is generally data at a load rate greater than 60%, and its maximum value is not more than 0.95, but when the beam pumping unit is working, the load is always changing and the power factor of the motor is low, so the efficiency η 1 of the motor is only 0.8 at most.
Belt pulley working efficiency: referring to the mechanical design manual, the belt transmission efficiency is 0.96, which is efficiency independent of load.Considering the actual working condition, the belt pulley transmission efficiency of the drainage machine is between 0.85 and 0.90, and the highest efficiency is 0.90.
Reducer transmission efficiency: refer to the mechanical design manual, the gear transmission efficiency is 0.98, with a total of three pairs; bearing transmission efficiency of 0.99, with a total of three pairs; the calculated η 3 is 0.91.
Four-bar linkage transmission efficiency: the energy of the four-bar linkage of the pumping unit is mainly lost at the bearing and the wire rope and the burner, the bearing transmission efficiency is 0.99, with a total of three pairs.The transmission efficiency η 4 of the four-bar linkage is 0.95 when the efficiency of the wire rope is 0.98.Based on the above analysis, the ground efficiency of beam pumping unit can reach the maximum: (2) Ground efficiency analysis of non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine The electric efficiency of η 1 : Non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine designed in this paper cancels the switching mode type four-bar linkage, it uses the non-circular gear reversing box for reversing, and adopts a balance system similar to a seesaw.In the course of work, the load on the roller varies little and motor of the roller can still work when its load rate is greater than 60%, the polished rod is in rapid motion in most strokes, and it can remain uniform, too.Therefore, this motor is relatively stable at work and has high efficiency, which can reach η 1 = 0.95.
The transmission efficiency of η 2 : The non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine is mainly powered by gears and pulleys, similarly, pulley efficiency η 2 is 0.9.
The transmission efficiency of η 3 : Referring to the mechanical design manual, the efficiency of the cycloid pin gear reducer is 0.96, and the transmission efficiency of the gear transmission in the two shift gear is 0.98, with a total of two pairs.The transmission efficiency of the bearing is 0.99, with a total of three pairs, and the efficiency η 3 is 0.89.
The transmission efficiency of η 4 : The four link mechanism was cancelled, two pulley groups were added, the efficiency was 0.99, the belt efficiency was 0.98, and the total efficiency η 4 was 0.96.
Through the above analysis we can see that the ground efficiency of non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine is up to: Energies 2017, 10, 1933 13 of 19 It can be seen that when calculating the two kinds of row production equipment with the maximum target value, the efficiency of the new type of drainage machine is 11% higher than that of the conventional beam pumping unit and the positive effect is obvious.

The inside of the non-circular gear box is mainly composed of a driving non-circular gear, two driven non-circular gears, two large cylindrical straight gears which are coaxial with two driven non-circular gears and a small cylindrical spur gear.The main parameters of each gear at non-circular gear box are shown in Table 1: Importing the gear system at non-circular gear reversing box into ADAMS, according to the kinematic relationship, this paper adds the necessary kinematic pairs on the gear system at incomplete non-circular gear reversing box.In order to verify the correctness of the design, the contact force is defined in the gear mesh, and 0.1 r/s is used as the input shaft speed.After the parameters are set up, the simulation is performed, the input shaft of non-circular gear reversing box rotates a circle, and the output shaft rotates in reverse direction, this is a movement cycle, the time is 10 seconds.Therefore, in the simulation interface, the simulation time is set to 20 s, and the step size is set to 0.01, the video screenshot is shown in Figure 15.

Visibly, there is a certain deviation between the gear profile of non-circular gear designed by means of generating gear (pinion cutter) which is a method of meshing between involute cylindrical spur gears and non-circular gears and ideal value, especially the place where the non-circular gear pair is just beginning to engage.That means when the largest gear teeth of the active non-circular gear are meshed with the driven non-circular gear, the burr of the simulation curve is more prominent.
Considering that the ordinate itself is very small, the burr jump is actually not large, after using the ADAMS digital filter of Butterworth to filter out the high frequency signal of dash jump, it is shown in Figure 17.As shown in Figure 18, the filtered curve is basically the same as the theoretical value of the output shaft speed of the non-circular gear reversing box. Figure 18 is a theoretical calculation taking into account the output shaft speed in one stroke.As the non-circular gear reversing box has an impact during commutation, there will be a relatively large jump in speed variation at fifteenth seconds.As the low speed of the commutation, the jump value is not large.The simulation curve of ten seconds shows the output shaft speed of the non-circular gear reversing box at the drainage machine in one stroke, It can be seen that the driven non-circular gear accelerates very rapidly in the first sixth of the time, maintains a fast and constant motion in the middle sixth of the time, and decelerates very rapidly in the last sixth of the time.It can be concluded that in terms of the movement characteristics, the simulation results are completely in accordance with the design requirements.Although the output shaft speed changes are consistent with the motion requirements of the polished rod, some burrs are present in the simulation curve.
