  • Publication number: 20230383641
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an operational property of a drill-rod borehole pump. A load-distance diagram with curve points for the pump is ascertained by an analysis device and provided as an operational load-distance diagram with operational curve points. In a training mode, a model load-distance diagram with respective model curve points is provided, and normalized to a specified reference variable, and for at least one sub-quantity of the model curve points, a model is generated and trained on the basis of a Kohonen network with elliptical Fourier descriptors. In an operating mode, the operational curve points are normalized to the reference variable, elliptical Fourier descriptors are determined for the operational curve points, and checked to determine a similarity between the elliptical Fourier descriptors of the operational curve points and the model of the Kohonen network, and if so, the operational property of the pump is determined.

  • Publication number: 20230374898
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an operational property of a drill-rod borehole pump. A load-distance diagram with curve points for the pump is ascertained by an analysis device using a detection device and is provided as an operational load-distance diagram with operational curve points. Wherein in a training mode, a load-distance diagram model for the pump with model curve points is generated and trained on the basis of machine learning, at least two specified analysis regions are determined in the load-distance diagram model, and a reference point is ascertained from the model curve points of at least one region. In an operating mode for the operational load-distance diagram, a check is carried out to determine whether the at least one reference point is contained within the surface contained by the operational curve points, and if so, the operational property of the conveyor pump is determined therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20230366308
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an operating property of a pumpjack, wherein the pump has a pump head, which is connected to a kinematic converter via a rod system, and the kinematic converter is driven by a motor during operation and a load-travel graph containing curve points is determined for the delivery pump by an analysis device using recording and is provided as an operating load-travel graph containing operating curve points.
