Research On The Modularize Design Of Downhole Motors Based On Solidworks

Down-hole motor is an important tool in the petroleum industry. As the working-condition underground is very complex, with the working-condition changed, the design of down-dole motor will be changed. The integrated design system is design for the down-dole screw drill-design which has much variability. Based on the powerful API Functions of Solidworks 3D design software , make the three party development on Solidworks with VC++. Down-hole motor integrated development system innovation and the main contents are summarized as follows:(1) With combine the modular modeling technology , the system compartmentalize the overall structure of down-dole motor to several modules which based on the functions of drill, class the components of down-dole motor, make the combination of production convenience and multiplicity, simplify the design process greatly.(2) Use the Top-Down design method to modeling in Solidworks, launch on the overall-frame of production to design, set the relative components some constraints that any modification in some components during the design that bring some changes of other relative components, improve the design efficiency greatly.(3) This system is the three party development system which based on Solidworks, but it is different from the mainstream mode of the second development of Solidworks is that the system is a stand-alone application (.exe) which is independent of Solidworks ,not the Add-in(.dll) of it. It can design the production and at the same time can finish the saving data works and some managing works. It is the integrated system which can finish the design tasks and management tasks.
