[0018] Attached Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of the mud pump described in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a mud manifold distribution system described in the present invention comprises three groups of mud tanks 1, two ground manifolds 2, a circulation tank and a mud remote distribution mechanism. The circulation tank is not shown in the figure. The two ground manifolds 2 are used to connect to the derrick manifold, and one-way check valves are provided in the two ground manifolds 2.
[0021] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the mud remote distribution mechanism is composed of three mud pumps arranged side by side. The mud pump comprises a housing 3 , on which a liquid inlet 4 , a well opening 5 , a circulation opening 6 and a piston assembly 7 are arranged.
[0022] The three groups of mud tanks 1 are connected to the liquid inlets 4 of the three mud pumps through pipelines respectively, and the pipelines connecting the mud tanks 1 and the liquid inlets 4 are also provided with passages connected to the circulation tank, and a control valve needs to be provided on the passages.
[0023] A T-shaped three-way joint is provided at the wellhead 5 of the mud pump located in the middle, and the wellheads 5 of the mud pumps located on both sides are connected to the T-shaped three-way joint of the middle mud pump through corner three-way joints. Pipeline distribution valves 9 are provided on the corner three-way joints on both sides, and two ground manifolds 2 are respectively connected through the pipeline distribution valves 9.
[0024] The circulation ports 6 of the three mud pumps are connected via a right-angle tee joint and connected to a circulation tank via a circulation pipeline 8 .
[0025] The main body of the piston assembly 7 is a hydraulic piston cylinder, and the piston assembly 7 controls the liquid inlet 4 to form a passage with the wellhead 5 or the circulation port 6; the piston assembly 7 comprises a piston housing 11, an upper piston rod 12 and a lower piston rod 13, and an upper piston slider 14 and a lower piston slider 15 are arranged in the piston housing 11; the upper piston rod 12 and the lower piston rod 13 pass through the wellhead 5 and the circulation port 6, and the upper piston rod 12 and the lower piston rod 13 are both provided with a wellhead gate 16 and a circulation port gate 17; the upper piston slider 14 drives the upper piston rod 12 to move, and the lower piston slider 15 drives the lower piston rod 13 to move; the rear end of the piston housing 11 is provided with an indicator rod cover 18, and the rear ends of the upper piston rod 12 and the lower piston rod 13 can extend into the indicator rod cover 18 to display the working status of the piston rod.
[0026] In the drilling state, the upper piston slider 14 and the lower piston slider 15 move forward synchronously under the action of hydraulic pressure, so that the circulation port gate 17 blocks the circulation port 6, and the wellhead gate 16 opens the wellhead 5; at this time, the liquid inlet 4 and the wellhead 5 form a passage, allowing the mud to flow to the ground manifold 2.
[0027] In the drilling stop state, the upper piston slider 14 and the lower piston slider 15 move backward synchronously under the action of hydraulic pressure, so that the wellhead gate 16 blocks the wellhead 5, and the circulation port gate 17 opens the circulation port 6; at this time, the liquid inlet 4 and the circulation port 6 form a passage, allowing the mud to pass to the circulation tank to release pressure.
[0028] When not in operation, such as during maintenance, the upper piston slider 14 and the lower piston slider 15 can move in an offset manner, one front and one rear. At this time, the wellhead 5 and the circulation port 6 will be blocked by the wellhead gate 16 and the circulation port gate 17 of the upper piston rod 12 or the lower piston rod 13, respectively, to ensure safety.
[0029] The pipeline distribution valve 9 is manually controlled. Since the wellheads 5 of the three mud pumps are connected, when drilling, one of the pipeline distribution valves 9 is closed and the mud will all flow to the other surface manifold 2, thereby realizing flow control of the two surface manifolds 2.
[0030] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
