Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of directional drilling rigs for coal mines, and relates to a drill rod box that is easy to disassemble. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of engineering machinery, the drill pipe box, as a key component of drilling equipment, directly affects operational efficiency through its structural design and installation method. In existing technologies, drill pipe boxes are typically fixed to a mobile platform via top mounting. This structure necessitates a complex lifting device for the drill pipe gripping mechanism, increasing manufacturing costs and occupying valuable upper platform space. A review of relevant patent literature reveals that most mainstream drill pipe boxes are currently integrally welded structures. While these offer reliable strength, they suffer from inconvenient replacement. When adapting to different drill pipe specifications, the entire box often needs to be replaced, resulting in resource waste. Some improved solutions attempt to use adjustable partition structures, but the adjustment mechanisms are complex and lack reliability, failing to meet the stringent requirements of field operations.
[0003] Existing drill pipe box installation methods have significant shortcomings, mainly in two aspects: First, the box body and the mobile platform are rigidly connected by bolts, requiring the disassembly of numerous fasteners during replacement, making the operation cumbersome and time-consuming. Second, the installation position is often chosen on the upper part of the platform, which not only affects the equipment's center of gravity distribution but also hinders the arrangement of other functional modules. Some literature proposes a side-mounted installation structure, but its connection mechanism design is unreasonable, posing a risk of loosening due to vibration, and it does not consider the need for rapid replacement. In addition, the partition spacing of traditional drill pipe boxes is fixed, requiring the replacement of the entire box or the addition of auxiliary supports when the drill pipe diameter changes. This design increases equipment costs and reduces on-site adaptability. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drill pipe box that is easy to disassemble. By optimizing the installation structure and internal layout of the drill pipe box, the technical effects of quick disassembly and replacement and multi-functional adaptation are achieved.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A drill pipe box that is easy to disassemble is characterized by comprising: a drill pipe box body, which is formed by a bottom plate and two side vertical plates to create a frame structure with an open top; several partitions, which are vertically arranged inside the drill pipe box body to divide the internal space into multiple rows of storage cavities; and a bracket assembly, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drill pipe box body for laterally hanging the drill pipe box on the outer side of a mobile platform.
[0007] Optionally, the support assembly includes at least two spaced-apart hooks, which are detachably connected to the connection structure on the side of the mobile platform.
[0008] Optionally, the mounting bracket is an L-shaped steel plate, the horizontal part of which is fixedly connected to the main body of the drill rod box, and the vertical part is provided with a connection hole.
[0009] Optionally, the partition is provided with a removable pad, the thickness of which is configured according to the drill rod diameter, so that the drill rod box can be adapted to at least two different diameter drill rods.
[0010] Optionally, the pad is detachably fixed to the partition by bolts.
[0011] Optionally, the width of the storage cavity can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of partitions or adjusting the position of the partitions.
[0012] Optionally, the drill pipe box body is connected to the mobile platform by a lateral suspension connection, with the drill pipe box located on the outside of the side of the mobile platform.
[0013] Optionally, the support assembly is connected to the mobile platform by bolt connection or quick-lock connection.
[0014] Optionally, four partitions are provided to divide the interior of the drill pipe box into five storage cavities.
[0015] Optionally, the base plate is provided with an array of drainage holes.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are mainly reflected in three dimensions: structural optimization, functional expansion, and economic benefits. Structurally, the side-mounted, detachable design completely changes the traditional installation method of drill pipe boxes. By connecting the support assembly to the side of the mobile platform, not only is space above the platform freed up, but the box can also be quickly disassembled and reassembled laterally. This design can shorten drill pipe box replacement time and is particularly suitable for downhole operations with frequent replacements. While ensuring connection reliability, it effectively improves the overall structure's vibration resistance.
[0018] In terms of functional expansion, the innovative modular internal structure design enables compatibility with multiple specifications within a single box. Through the combination of adjustable partitions and pads, a single drill pipe box can accommodate at least two diameter drill pipes, significantly improving equipment adaptability. Adjusting the partition spacing is simple and reliable. Detailed design features such as the array of drainage holes in the bottom plate further enhance the equipment's durability under harsh working conditions.
[0019] In terms of economic benefits, this solution reduces material consumption and redundant equipment configuration through structural optimization. Reusable support components and replaceable wear-resistant parts extend the overall service life and reduce maintenance costs. Standardized design facilitates mass production and shortens the manufacturing cycle. These improvements significantly reduce the overall cost of the equipment over its entire life cycle and improve the return on investment.
[0020] Furthermore, this design offers significant environmental benefits. The optimized structure reduces the equipment's weight and lowers energy consumption; the maintainability design reduces the frequency of parts replacement.
