For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a drilling rig power head with a drill pipe reducer connector, including a power head body and a connector, the power head body and the connector are sleeved, the power head body is the prior art, including a core shaft and a rear end cover, a shell, a front end cover, a nozzle connection sleeve and a connector that are sequentially sleeved on the core shaft. The connector is in the shape of a cylindrical boss, and is composed of a first buckle 1 and a second buckle 2 of two symmetrically matched longitudinal boss surface structures, and the first buckle 1 and the second buckle 2 are buckled on the connector. Specifically, the edges of the first buckle 1 and the second buckle 2 are integrally formed with a light hole sliding sleeve 3, the light hole sliding sleeve 3 on the first buckle 1 and the light hole sliding sleeve 3 on the second buckle 2 are correspondingly arranged, a bolt rod 4 is inserted between the two corresponding light hole sliding sleeves 3 on the first buckle 1 and the second buckle 2, the bolt rod 4 is symmetrically provided with opposite threads about its center, the bolt rod 4 and the light hole sliding sleeve 3 are clearance-matched, and at the same time, the outer side of the corresponding light hole sliding sleeve 3 on the bolt rod 4 is connected with a thread The threaded sleeve 5 is in the shape of a cylindrical boss, the small diameter section of the threaded sleeve 5 extends into the light hole sleeve 3, and is tightly attached to the inner wall of the light hole sleeve 3 to form a sliding connection, and the large diameter section of the threaded sleeve 5 is in contact with the outer wall of the light hole sleeve 3, so that when installing the drill rod, by screwing the threaded sleeve 5, the large diameter section of the threaded sleeve 5 will apply a thrust to the light hole sleeve 3, so that under the action of the thrust, the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 approach each other, hold the drill rod tightly, and complete the clamping of the drill rod.

[0032] The connector further comprises a boosting component, which can always apply a thrust to the first fastening member 1 and / or the second fastening member 2, so that the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 maintain a tendency to move toward each other and hold the connector tightly. In this embodiment, the boosting assembly is provided on the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2. Specifically, the boosting assembly is provided on the bolt rod 4 on the side where the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 are located. The boosting assembly includes a compression spring 7 and a movable sleeve 11. The compression spring 7 and the movable sleeve 11 are both sleeved on the bolt rod 4, and one end of the compression spring 7 is connected to the abutment 8 at the end of the bolt rod 4, and the other end of the compression spring 7 is connected to the movable sleeve 11. The movable sleeve 11 abuts against the outer wall of the light hole sleeve 3. At the same time, an avoidance groove is provided on the side surface of the movable sleeve 11 that is in contact with the light hole sleeve 3. The large diameter section of the threaded sleeve 5 is slidably accommodated in the avoidance groove, and an avoidance interval 6 is left between the end of the large diameter section of the threaded sleeve 5 and the bottom of the avoidance groove. Therefore, when the sleeve mouth is worn, a gap will be generated between the first fastening member 1, the second fastening member 2 and the drill rod. At this time, the movable sleeve 11 is pushed by the compression spring 7 and will transfer the thrust to the light hole sleeve 3. After the light hole sleeve 3 is pushed, it will drive the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 to approach each other and re-hold the drill rod. During the whole process, the compression spring 7 is always in a compressed state. Every time the sleeve mouth is worn a little, the compression spring 7 will push the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 to shrink the holding radius a little, so that the connector always holds the drill rod tightly and will not fall off. The setting of the avoidance space provides movable space for the movement of the movable sleeve 11.

[0033] Considering that the drill rod will vibrate during the actual operation, and when the sleeve mouth is worn, the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 limit the engagement radius by the thrust of the compression spring 7. At this time, the outer side of the light hole sleeve 3 is not abutted and limited by the threaded sleeve 5. Therefore, in this case, there is a possibility that the mechanical vibration overcomes the elastic force of the compression spring 7 to expand the first fastening member 1 and the second fastening member 2 and the drill will fall off. To prevent this from happening, the booster assembly also includes a backstop assembly that prevents the moving sleeve 11 from moving toward the side of the compression spring 7. The backstop assembly includes a ratchet pawl assembly 10 and a guide rack 104. The ratchet pawl assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the moving sleeve 11. The blocks 8 at both ends of the bolt rod 4 are crossed by a protective cover 9. The guide rack 104 is installed on the inner top surface of the protective cover 9 and meshes with the ratchet 102 in the ratchet pawl assembly 10. The ratchet pawl assembly 10 includes a U-shaped ratchet mounting seat 101, a ratchet 102 and a pawl 103. The ratchet mounting seat 101 is fixed to the upper top surface of the movable sleeve 11. The ratchet 102 and the pawl 103 are both mounted on the ratchet mounting seat 101 by pivot rotation, with the ratchet 102 on the top and the pawl 103 on the bottom. The mounting relationship between the ratchet 102 and the pawl 103 needs to satisfy the following requirements: when the movable sleeve 11 moves toward the side of the light hole sleeve 3, the ratchet 102 can push aside the pawl 103 and rotate freely; when the movable sleeve 11 moves toward the side of the compression spring 7, the pawl 103 is stuck in the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 102, and the end of the pawl 103 away from the ratchet 102 is pressed against the ratchet mounting seat 101, so that the pawl 103 cannot rotate, thereby limiting the rotation of the ratchet 102. At the same time, the ratchet pawl assembly 10 also includes a reset spring 105, which is vertically installed in the slide groove of the ratchet mounting seat 101. A top block is fixed on the top of the reset spring 105 to push the pawl 103 to rotate. The top block abuts against the protrusion on the pawl 103. When the movable sleeve 11 moves toward the side of the light hole sleeve 3, the reset spring 105 can reset the pawl 103 that is pushed away by the ratchet 102.

[0034] From the above content, it can be seen that the present embodiment discloses a drilling rig power head with a drill pipe reducer connector, which has a power head body and a connector. When the sleeve opening of the connector is worn, the booster assembly is provided, and the compression spring 7 of the booster assembly is used to apply thrust to the movable sleeve 11, so as to push the light hole sleeve 3 with the help of the thrust, drive the first fastening part 1 and the second fastening part 2 to approach each other, continuously hold the drill pipe, and prevent the drill from falling. At the same time, a back-off assembly is provided to prevent the drill from falling due to mechanical vibration of the drill pipe.

Different from the prior art, the drilling assembly 500 includes the drilling rig power head with a drill pipe reducer connector as described in Example 1.

[0037] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
