[0002] Currently, when a drilling rig is being pulled up or down, the faucet and square drill rod need to be inserted into a rat hole on the drill floor for storage. Due to the heavy weight of the faucet and square drill rod and the large distance between the wellhead center and the rat hole, pushing the faucet and square drill rod from the wellhead center to the rat hole is labor-intensive. Furthermore, the faucet occupies a large space on the drill floor, increasing the risk of collision between equipment.
[0003] The existing drill floor features a fixed rathole on the side, requiring the coordination of multiple personnel to insert the faucet and kelly into the rathole. This system has several drawbacks: 1. The rathole is located far from the wellhead center, making insertion of the faucet and kelly labor-intensive; 2. The faucet and kelly easily interfere with wellhead equipment, the roughneck, and the standpipe, increasing operational safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the upper end of the rathole tube is set on a slide through a rotating shaft, and the slide is set in a slide rail of the drilling table; the driving mechanism drives the rathole tube to move, and the rathole tube moves along the slide rail together with the slide, and the rathole tube rotates along the rotating shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the mousehole pipe is sleeved on a fixing seat, and the fixing seat is hinged to the derrick through a pin.
[0008] Preferably, a bottom plate and a buffer spring are provided at the bottom of the rathole tube, the lower end of the buffer spring rests against the bottom of the rathole tube, and the upper end rests against the lower end surface of the bottom plate; a slurry discharge hole is provided in the middle of the bottom plate, and an axially penetrating slurry discharge port is provided at the bottom of the rathole tube.
[0009] Preferably, a radially penetrating transport pin is provided at the lower portion of the rathole tube.
[0010] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes an oil cylinder, which is arranged on the side close to the center of the wellhead, one end of which is arranged on the drilling table through a fixed ear plate, and the other end is connected to the upper part of the rathole pipe; the oil cylinder drives the rathole pipe away from or close to the center of the wellhead.
[0011] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows: by providing a driving mechanism on the drill floor, the rathole pipe is driven to move by the driving mechanism, thereby freeing up operating space for the iron roughneck, avoiding interference between the swivel and the kelly and the wellhead equipment, the iron roughneck and the stand area, and reducing safety hazards in equipment operation; at the same time, the rathole pipe can be set closer to the center of the wellhead, reducing the labor intensity of inserting the swivel and the kelly into the rathole; the utility model is suitable for drilling rigs and well repair rigs with smaller drill floor spaces.
