Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of locking devices for elevators of oil drilling rigs, and particularly to a new type of elevator pin for a drilling rig. Background Art

[0002] During the processes of oil drilling and downhole operations, the driller and the wellhead personnel have a high labor intensity and are prone to fatigue, which can easily cause operational mistakes. Therefore, "single sling" accidents often occur, posing risks to the personal safety of wellhead personnel and causing serious economic losses.

[0003] Currently, in the existing sling pin technology, most determine whether the pin is inserted by whether the two induction contacts of the travel switch are in contact with the elevator. However, in the environment of an oil drilling rig, oil stains and mud will cover or freeze the contacts, making disassembly inconvenient and affecting the accuracy of detection, which may cause the single sling to be stressed, resulting in accidents such as the bending or breaking of the pipe string during the hoisting process and causing casualties and equipment damage.

[0008] Furthermore, the inductive sensor is threadedly connected to the protective shell, and the inductive sensor sinks into the protective shell by 2 mm. Sinking into the boss of the protective shell by 2 mm can ensure the maximum detection distance.

[0009] Furthermore, a latch end cap is connected to the rear end of the cylinder. The latch end cap is threadedly connected to the cylinder, and a relaxation gasket is provided on the connection thread between the latch end cap and the cylinder.
