[0002] Generally, power tongs are generally divided into a main tong and a back tong. The back tong clamps the lower part of the pipe string and does not rotate, and the main tong clamps the upper part of the pipe string and rotates to perform the make-up or break-out operation. In recent years, with the development of oil extraction technology, a large number of special pipes such as stainless steel and fiberglass tubing, casing pipes, and drill pipes have been used. Since tooth marks are not allowed on the surface of special pipes and clamping slippage is not allowed to damage the surface, and at the same time, a relatively large make-up or break-out torque is required, this brings difficulties to non-tooth-mark clamping. The prior art generally adopts a roller climbing clamping structure, the tooth plate is made of a non-metallic wear-resistant material, and a large inclusion angle is adopted to increase the friction force to meet the general operation requirements. However, during the operation process, the clamping is very unstable, and clamping slippage often occurs, damaging the surface layer of the special pipe, and a larger torque cannot be achieved. Therefore, for the make-up and break-out operations of special pipes, new structures and operation procedures are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Preferably, the non-metallic material is oil-resistant rubber.
[0022] Preferably, a positioning device is provided on the valve core of the third manual reversing valve.
[0023] The present invention uses a lever clamping mechanism driven by a hydraulic cylinder for clamping. When the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder is filled with hydraulic oil, the single rod in the single-rod hydraulic cylinder extends to push the clamping arm to rotate around the rotating shaft, driving the front jaw plate assembly at the other end of the clamping arm to approach the rotation center of the large gear at the opening of the tong head until the two front jaw plate assemblies and one rear jaw plate assembly close together to tightly hold the pipe string. It has a large clamping force, is stable and reliable. The present invention also uses a pluggable oil supply and return system and a pressure relief device with an accumulator to solve the problems of rotating oil supply and return of the tong head clamping mechanism. The quick-connect combination assembly can make multiple quick connectors plugged in or unplugged simultaneously, with quick and convenient operation. The pressure relief device is to solve the problem that the opening of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head cannot be normally centered and reset during the make-up operation: when the make-up reaches the set torque and the pipe string thread has been made up, at this time, the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head stops rotating and stops at any position of 360°, while the single-rod hydraulic cylinder is still in the pressure-holding state and always tightly holds the pipe string. If we want to center the opening of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head, either continue to rotate beyond the set make-up torque value to damage the thread, or reverse rotate to loosen the made-up thread, such operations are not allowed. Therefore, when it is necessary to relieve the pressure in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder, open the ball valve to allow the pressure oil in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder to flow to the rod cavity and the gas-isolated accumulator for unloading. At this time, the lever clamping mechanism driven by the hydraulic cylinder is in the loosened state, thus facilitating the operation of rotating the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head to center the opening. After the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder is unloaded, close the ball valve to cut off the oil circuit between the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder and the rod cavity and the gas-isolated accumulator, and the single-rod hydraulic cylinder returns to the normal working state.
[0024] The present invention also adopts a quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device, a make-up and break-out direction protection device, and a quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device to ensure the safety and reliability of operations. Among them, the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device and the quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device provide double protection for the quick-connect combination assembly: when the female combination joint is connected to the male combination joint, the flexible shaft in the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device pulls the flexible shaft gate valve to change the direction, and the hydraulic motor control circuit is in the unloading state. At the same time, the hydraulic control ports of the two hydraulic control one-way valves in the make-up and break-out direction protection device are connected to the oil return port of the hydraulic control system, the two hydraulic control one-way valves are closed, and the oil path leading to the hydraulic motor is cut off. The hydraulic motor control circuit is in the unloading and locked state, ensuring that the hydraulic motor cannot rotate when the quick-connect combination assembly is connected, and avoiding potential safety hazards caused by misoperation; when the female combination joint is separated from the male combination joint, the spring in the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device pushes the flexible shaft gate valve to return to its original position. At the same time, the hydraulic control ports of the two hydraulic control one-way valves in the make-up and break-out direction protection device are not affected by the quick-connect combination assembly, and the hydraulic motor control circuit is in the normal working state. The make-up and break-out direction protection device ensures that only one of the continuous push or pull operations of the first manual reversing valve controlling the hydraulic motor is effective. Only the oil path for the hydraulic motor to rotate in one direction is open, while the oil path for the other rotation direction is blocked, avoiding the wrong operation of breaking the connection by reverse rotation when pulling the first manual reversing valve before the pipe string thread is tightened and the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder has not been depressurized during the make-up operation; if you want to switch to the other rotation direction, you need to switch the position of the spool in the third manual reversing valve.
[0025] Secondly, the present invention uses a taller and larger die to increase the friction area, selects a wear-resistant non-metallic material to increase the friction force, and does not damage the surface of the pipe string, meeting the need for non-scratch operation.
[0026] The specific operation methods during the make-up and break-out operations of this technical solution are as follows:
[0027] Step 1. Clamping the pipe string operation: First, open the safety door of the main clamp of the power tong, push the main clamp of the power tong to the center of the pipe string, close the safety door, and then operate the wrench to connect the female combination joint to the male combination joint. At this time, under the double protection of the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device and the quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device, the hydraulic motor control circuit is in the unloading and locked state;
[0028] Push the second manual reversing valve to supply hydraulic oil to the rodless cavities of the two single-rod hydraulic cylinders through the shunt pressure-holding device, driving the two groups of lever clamping mechanisms to clamp the pipe string at the same time; operate the second manual reversing valve to return to the middle position, and the shunt pressure-holding device holds the pressure oil in the rodless cavities of the single-rod hydraulic cylinders to maintain the clamping of the pipe string; then operate the wrench to separate the female combination joint from the male combination joint, and the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device and the quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device are unlocked at the same time. At this time, the rotation direction of the hydraulic motor is restricted by the make-up and break-out direction protection device, and the next make-up or break-out operation is selected according to the operation requirements.
[0029] Step Two: Operation of making and breaking joints:
[0030] a. Operation of making a joint: Push the third manual directional control valve to the position for making a joint control, then push the first manual directional control valve. The hydraulic motor rotates, and the clamp head of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type clamps the pipe string and rotates in the direction of making a joint until the make-up torque reaches the set value and stops rotating; Operate the first manual directional control valve to return to the neutral position, operate the ball valve to open, unload the pressure oil retained in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder and then close the ball valve, and then pull the first manual directional control valve to make the clamp head of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type rotate in the reverse direction until its opening is centered;
[0031] b. Operation of breaking a joint: Pull the third manual directional control valve to the position for breaking a joint control, then pull the first manual directional control valve. The hydraulic motor rotates in the reverse direction, and the clamp head of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type clamps the pipe string and rotates in the direction of breaking a joint until the upper and lower pipe strings are disengaged. Continue to pull the first manual directional control valve, and the clamp head of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type continues to rotate until the opening is centered;
[0032] Step Three: Operation of resetting the clamping mechanism: Operate the wrench to connect the female combined joint with the male combined joint, pull the second manual directional control valve to supply oil to the rod cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder. The single rod of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder retracts, and the lever clamping mechanism driven by the hydraulic cylinder loosens; Operate the second manual directional control valve to return to the neutral position. The rodless cavity and the rod cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder are both connected to the return oil of the hydraulic control system, and the gas-isolated accumulator discharges the stored hydraulic oil to prepare for the next oil storage;
[0033] Finally, open the safety door, and the main clamp of the power tong leaves the center of the pipe string, and one operation of making or breaking a joint is completed.
[0034] The present invention adopts a lever clamping mechanism driven by a hydraulic cylinder to provide a greater clamping force, with a compact structure and reliable clamping; Adopts a pluggable oil supply and return system and a pressure relief device with an accumulator to meet the requirements of the rotation oil supply and return of the clamp head clamping mechanism; Adopts multi-faceted safety guarantee measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation; At the same time, the tooth plate is made higher and larger, thereby increasing the friction area; Further selects wear-resistant non-metallic materials to increase the friction force to achieve sufficient torque and realize the operation without tooth marks on special pipes. Its operation is stable, safe and reliable, and has great economic and social benefits. Description of the Drawings

[0069] As Figure 10 As shown, preferably, a positioning device is provided on the valve core of the third manual reversing valve 501Ⅲ.
[0070] The present invention uses a lever clamping mechanism driven by a hydraulic cylinder for clamping. When the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 is filled with hydraulic oil, the single rod in the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 extends to push the clamping arm 103 to rotate around the rotating shaft 104, driving the front jaw plate assembly 105 at the other end of the clamping arm 103 to approach the rotation center of the large gear 101 at the opening of the tong head until the two front jaw plate assemblies 105 and a rear jaw plate assembly 107 close together to tightly hold the pipe string. It has a large clamping force, is stable and reliable. The present invention also adopts a pluggable oil supply and return system and a pressure relief device 503 with an accumulator to solve the problems of rotating oil supply and return for the clamping mechanism of the tong head. The quick-connect combination assembly 502 can make multiple quick connectors plugged in or unplugged simultaneously, with quick and convenient operation. The pressure relief device 503 is to solve the problem that the opening of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 cannot be normally centered and reset during the make-up operation: when the make-up reaches the set torque and the pipe string thread has been made up, at this time, the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 stops rotating and stops at any position of 360°, while the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 is still in the pressure-holding state and always holds the pipe string tightly. If we want to center the opening of the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1, either continue to rotate beyond the set make-up torque value to damage the thread, or rotate in the reverse direction to loosen the made-up thread. Such operations are not allowed. Therefore, when it is necessary to relieve the pressure in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102, open the ball valve 503Ⅰ, so that the pressure oil in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 flows to the rod cavity and the gas-separated accumulator 503Ⅱ for unloading. At this time, the lever clamping mechanism driven by the hydraulic cylinder is in the loosened state, thus facilitating the operation of rotating the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 to center the opening. After the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 is unloaded, close the ball valve 503Ⅰ to cut off the oil circuit between the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 and the rod cavity and the gas-separated accumulator 503Ⅱ, and the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 returns to the normal working state.
[0071] The present invention also adopts a quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device 506, a make-up and break-out direction protection device 507, and a quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device 508 to ensure the safety and reliability of operations. Among them, the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device 506 and the quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device 508 provide double protection for the quick-connect combination assembly 502: when the female combination joint 502Ⅱ is connected to the male combination joint 502Ⅰ, the flexible shaft 506Ⅱ in the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device 506 pulls the flexible shaft gate valve 506Ⅴ to change the direction, and the hydraulic motor control circuit is in the unloading state. At the same time, the hydraulic control ports of the two hydraulic control check valves 507Ⅰ in the make-up and break-out direction protection device 507 are connected to the oil return port of the hydraulic control system 5, and the two hydraulic control check valves 507Ⅰ are closed, cutting off the oil circuit leading to the hydraulic motor 401. The hydraulic motor control circuit is in the unloading and locked state, ensuring that when the quick-connect combination assembly 502 is connected, the hydraulic motor 401 cannot rotate, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by misoperation; when the female combination joint 502Ⅱ is separated from the male combination joint 502Ⅰ, the spring 506Ⅳ in the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device 506 pushes the flexible shaft gate valve 506Ⅴ to return to its original position. At the same time, the hydraulic control ports of the two hydraulic control check valves 507Ⅰ in the make-up and break-out direction protection device 507 are not affected by the quick-connect combination assembly 502, and the hydraulic motor control circuit is in the normal working state. The make-up and break-out direction protection device 507 ensures that only one of the continuous push or pull operations of the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ controlling the hydraulic motor 401 is effective. Only the oil circuit for the hydraulic motor 401 to rotate in one direction is open, while the oil circuit for the other rotation direction is blocked, avoiding the wrong operation of reverse rotation and break-out when the pipe string thread has been well made up during the make-up operation, and the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 has not been depressurized yet and the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ is pulled; if it is necessary to switch to the other rotation direction, the position of the spool in the third manual reversing valve 501Ⅲ needs to be switched.
[0072] Secondly, the present invention uses a taller and larger die plate to increase the friction area, selects wear-resistant non-metallic materials to increase the friction force, and does not damage the surface of the pipe string, meeting the need for non-scratch operation.
[0073] The specific operation methods during the make-up and break-out operations of this technical solution are as follows:
[0074] Step 1. Clamp the pipe string operation: First, open the safety door 3 of the power tong main tong, push the power tong main tong to the center of the pipe string, close the safety door 3, and then operate the wrench 502Ⅲ to connect the female combination joint 502Ⅱ to the male combination joint 502Ⅰ. At this time, under the double protection of the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device 506 and the quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device 508, the hydraulic motor control circuit is in the unloading and locked state;
[0075] Push the second manual reversing valve 501Ⅱ to supply hydraulic oil to the rodless cavities of the two single-rod hydraulic cylinders 102 through the flow dividing and pressure maintaining device 504, driving the two groups of lever clamping mechanisms to clamp the pipe string simultaneously; operate the second manual reversing valve 501Ⅱ to return to the middle position, and the flow dividing and pressure maintaining device 504 maintains the pressure oil in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 to keep the pipe string clamped; then operate the wrench 502Ⅲ to separate the female combined joint 502Ⅱ from the male combined joint 502Ⅰ, and the quick-connect mechanical interlock protection device 506 and the quick-connect hydraulic interlock protection device 508 are unlocked simultaneously. At this time, the rotation direction of the hydraulic motor 401 is restricted by the make-up and break-out direction protection device 507, and the next make-up or break-out operation is selected according to the operation requirements;
[0076] Step 2. Make-up and break-out operation:
[0077] a. Make-up operation: Push the third manual reversing valve 501Ⅲ to the make-up control direction, and then push the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ. The hydraulic motor 401 rotates, and the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 clamps the pipe string and rotates in the make-up direction until the make-up torque reaches the set value and stops rotating; operate the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ to return to the middle position, operate the ball valve 503Ⅰ to open, unload the pressure oil stored in the rodless cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 and then close the ball valve 503Ⅰ, and then pull the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ to make the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 rotate reversely until its opening is centered;
[0078] b. Break-out operation: Pull the third manual reversing valve 501Ⅲ to the break-out control direction, and then pull the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ. The hydraulic motor 401 rotates reversely, and the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 clamps the pipe string and rotates in the break-out direction until the upper and lower pipe strings are separated. Continue to pull the first manual reversing valve 501Ⅰ, and the hydraulic cylinder lever clamping type tong head 1 continues to rotate until the opening is centered;
[0079] Step 3. Clamping mechanism reset operation: Operate the wrench 502Ⅲ to connect the female combined joint 502Ⅱ with the male combined joint 502Ⅰ, pull the second manual reversing valve 501Ⅱ to supply oil to the rod cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102, and the single rod of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 retracts, and the lever clamping mechanism driven by the hydraulic cylinder loosens; operate the second manual reversing valve 501Ⅱ to return to the middle position, and the rodless cavity and the rod cavity of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder 102 are both connected to the return oil of the hydraulic control system 5, and the gas isolation type accumulator 503Ⅱ discharges the stored hydraulic oil to prepare for the next oil storage;
[0080] Finally, open the safety door 3, and the main tong of the power tong leaves the center of the pipe string, and one make-up or break-out operation is completed.
