By arranging the windproof guide rail and the guide wheel, the influence of wind load during pumping can be avoided, and the reliability of the device can be increased. In the existing belt pumping unit, the rack is only provided with the device cabin, without other parts, so the tower bracket mentioned in the invention cannot be formed, and it is not convenient for use and maintenance. In the invention, the tower bracket adopted has reliable structure as well as easy use and maintenance.

Compared to single chain transmission in the prior art, the pumping unit of the invention has more reasonably force exerted thereon, operates more smoothly, prolongs the service life of the device and reduces noise. With the four-column tower-type structure, the stability and reliability of the device can be improved greatly.

The tower-type double-chain belt pumping unit of the invention also includes a reducer 50 arranged on the base 11 outside the device cabin 16 and a motor 60 arranged on a motor platform 18 and connected with the reducer 50 in a transmission manner, wherein the motor platform 18 is distanced from the base 11, with belt transmission therebetween.
