DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] The following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A hydraulic lifting cap for spline drill pipe includes a lifting device 1, a mast device 2, a rotary drive device 3, a spline tooth sliding sleeve 4, a support cylinder 5, a telescopic device 6, a hydraulic system and other parts.

[0024] As Figure 1, 2 As shown in the figure, the lifting device of the spline drill pipe hydraulic lifting cap includes components such as a lifting cap head 7, a spline sliding sleeve guide post 8, a clamp 9, a positioning disc 10, a retaining ring 11, a flat key 12, and a snap ring 13. The upper end of the lifting cap head 7 is directly connected to the pin shaft of the crane hook. The split clamp 9 connects the lifting cap head 7 and the spline sliding sleeve guide post 8 into one body through screws. The spline sliding sleeve guide post 8 is connected to the positioning disc 10 through a flat key 12 to restrict the relative rotation between the two. The axial movement between the spline sliding sleeve guide post 8 and the positioning disc 10 is restricted by the split snap ring 13.

[0025] As Figure 1 , 2 shown in the figure, the pipe holding device of the spline drill pipe hydraulic lifting cap includes components such as a jaw moving oil cylinder support 14, a jaw moving oil cylinder 15, a lining seat 16, a jaw opening and closing oil cylinder 17, a jaw mounting seat 18, and jaws 19. The jaw moving oil cylinder support 14 is fixed on the support cylinder 5 through screws and shear pins. The cylinder end of the jaw moving oil cylinder 15 is connected to the jaw moving oil cylinder support 14 through a pin shaft, and the piston rod end is connected to the large hole end of the lining seat 16 and the jaw mounting seat 18 through a pin shaft. The cylinder end of the jaw opening and closing oil cylinder 17 is connected to the small hole end of the lining seat 16 and the jaw mounting seat 18 through a pin shaft, and the piston rod end is connected to the jaws 19 through a pin shaft. The jaws 19 are hinged to the jaw mounting seat 18 through a pin shaft. A spline drill pipe hydraulic lifting cap includes a plurality of pipe holding devices 2. Each pipe holding device 2 is matched with the slideway on the support cylinder 5 through the slide groove on one side of the jaw mounting seat 18 to realize the telescopic movement with the support cylinder 5. When the piston rod of the jaw moving oil cylinder 15 extends, it pushes the jaw mounting seat 18 to slide along the T-shaped slideway on the support cylinder 5.

[0026] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the slewing drive device of the jaw type drill pipe hydraulic lifting cap adopts a planetary gear reducer driven by a hydraulic motor. This reducer has the basic structure of a planetary reducer, including a frame 20, internal and external gear rings 21, an upper support sleeve 22, a sun gear 23, a hydraulic motor 24, a bearing seat ring 25, a gear ring 26, a planetary carrier 27, a lower support sleeve 28, a positioning pin 29, planetary gears 30 and other components. The characteristic of this reducer is that the planetary carrier 27 is fixed to the frame 20. The gear ring 26 has both internal and external gears and rotates relative to the frame 20 via the planetary gear reducer driven by the hydraulic motor 24. The frame 20 is of an integral open structure and is directly fixed to the support cylinder 5 by screws. To enable the reducer components to be installed from the open end of the frame 20, both ends of the planetary carrier 27 are extended by the upper support sleeve 22 and the lower support sleeve 28 respectively and supported in the holes of the upper and lower box plates of the frame 20. The bearing seat ring 25 and the gear ring 26 are connected into one body by screws and then supported at both ends of the planetary carrier 27 by roller bearings respectively. A split nylon positioning pin 29 is provided between the mating cylindrical surfaces of the lower support sleeve 28 and the planetary carrier 27 to achieve the transmission of the reverse torque of the planetary carrier 27 to the gear ring 26. This reverse torque is finally transmitted to the frame 20 because of the flange connection between the lower support sleeve 28 and the lower box plate of the frame 20.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the telescopic device of the jaw type drill pipe hydraulic lifting cap uses a hydraulic cylinder to achieve its telescopic function, including components such as an upper cylinder seat cover, a telescopic cylinder, and a lower cylinder seat cover. The upper cylinder seat cover is fixed to the jaw type slide sleeve guide post 8 by screws and serves as the base of the telescopic device. The lower cylinder seat cover is connected to the jaw type tooth slide sleeve 4 by screws. The cylinder barrel side of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the upper cylinder seat cover, and the piston rod side is hinged to the lower cylinder seat cover. The telescopic movement of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder can push the jaw type tooth slide sleeve 4 to reciprocate linearly along the inner hole of the support cylinder 5.

[0028] A brief description of the working process of the jaw type drill pipe hydraulic lifting cap when the drill rig connects the drill pipe is as follows:

[0029] Assume that the jaw-type drill pipe to be lifted is in a horizontal position. Connect the upper end of the lifting cap head 7 directly to the pin shaft of the crane hook, and use other lifting equipment to assist in placing the hydraulic lifting cap of the jaw-type drill pipe on the same center line of the jaw-type drill pipe as close as possible. At this time, the claw 19 is in an open state; the piston rod of the claw moving oil cylinder 15 extends, pushing the claw mounting seat 18 to slide along the T-shaped groove slide on the support cylinder 5, so that the hydraulic lifting cap is close to the jaw-type drill pipe until the distance where the claw can hook the outer gear ring of the jaw-type drill pipe is reached. The claw opening and closing oil cylinder 17 acts, and the claw 19 locks the outer gear ring of the jaw-type drill pipe; the oil cylinder piston rod of the telescopic oil cylinder device 6 extends, pushing the jaw tooth sliding sleeve 4 towards the jaw-type drill pipe. The teeth on the jaw tooth sliding sleeve 4 should be inserted into the tooth grooves of the jaw-type drill pipe. If the two cannot mesh smoothly, the rotary drive device 3 needs to be used to drive the jaw tooth sliding sleeve 4 to rotate until the teeth on the jaw tooth sliding sleeve 4 are smoothly inserted into the tooth grooves of the jaw-type drill pipe. When the rectangular teeth of the jaw tooth sliding sleeve 4 cross the inner teeth of the drill pipe, the rotary drive device 3 drives the jaw tooth sliding sleeve 4 to rotate by an angle of one tooth width (22.5°). At this time, the hydraulic lifting cap of the jaw-type drill pipe is integrated with the lifted jaw-type drill pipe, and the drill pipe can be lifted to the wellhead by the crane. The working process of the hydraulic lifting cap of the jaw-type drill pipe when the drill pipe is unloaded from the drilling rig is opposite to the above process.

[0030] In each working cycle of the hydraulic lifting cap of the jaw-type drill pipe, the operator only needs to adjust the approximate position of the hydraulic lifting cap, and rely on the holding rod device 2 and the rotary drive device 3 to realize the automatic precise positioning of the hydraulic lifting cap of the drill pipe to the drill pipe joint.

[0031] The motion control of each oil cylinder and hydraulic motor is realized by its hydraulic system. The hydraulic system refers to the integration of a hydraulic pump station, hydraulic control, and an electrical control system, and the hydraulic system is fixed at a convenient operation location on the drilling rig.

[0032] As an auxiliary operation device for large engineering drilling rigs when using jaw-type drill pipes, the present invention solves the problem of connecting and disconnecting large jaw-type drill pipes, and has the advantages of strong adaptability, compact structure, flexibility, and easy operation. Its excellent working performance will greatly improve the operation efficiency of the drilling rig, which is a breakthrough in the technology of large engineering drilling rigs.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate rather than limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: the present invention can still be modified or equivalently replaced, and any modification or partial replacement without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be construed as a limitation on the protected content of the present invention.
