Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mud pump technology, specifically to an automatically adjustable height mud pump support. Background Technology
[0002] A mud pump is a pump used to clean up the mud and wastewater that were pushed to the surface during drilling operations. By pumping out the mud and wastewater, the mud pump can efficiently provide mud for drilling or prevent excessive mud and wastewater from affecting subsequent drilling work.
[0003] Existing mud pumps require real-time adjustment of their placement height based on the water level of the sewage and mud during the pumping process. This is to prevent the pump's suction height from mismatching with the water level, which could lead to pumping failure and potentially safety accidents. However, the need to adjust the sewage and mud levels in real time makes the use of mud pumps quite cumbersome.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed an automatic height-adjustable mud pump support. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatically adjustable height mud pump support to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatically adjustable height mud pump support, comprising a support base, a floating assembly, and a suction assembly. The floating assembly is located on the outer bottom of the support base. The floating assembly includes a floating bucket, a partition layer, a connecting plate, a connecting pipe, and a water valve. The partition layer is connected to the inner middle of the floating bucket, and connecting plates are located on both outer sides of the floating bucket. A connecting pipe is connected to the outer surface of the floating bucket, and a water valve is installed at the outer middle of the connecting pipe. A connecting seat is located at the top middle of the support base, and a mud pump is installed at the inner middle of the connecting seat. Connecting rods are located on both outer sides of the mud pump, and electric actuators are connected to the bottom outer sides of the connecting rods. The suction assembly is located on the bottom outer side of the mud pump, and a filtering assembly is connected to the outer end of the suction assembly. A directional assembly is located at the top outer end of the support base.
[0007] Furthermore, the floating bucket is fixedly connected to the connecting plate by bolts, and the floating bucket and the connecting plate are connected and combined to form a rectangle.
[0008] Furthermore, the floating bucket is connected to another floating bucket via a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is placed at an angle.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting seat is sleeved with the mud pump, and the mud pump and the connecting rod are integrated.
[0010] Furthermore, the suction assembly includes a suction tube, a positioning seat, and a sliding groove. The front and rear sides of the suction tube are connected to the positioning seat, and the left and right sides of the suction tube are provided with sliding grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, the suction pipe is connected to the mud pump, and the mud pump and the connecting rod are arranged perpendicularly.
[0012] Furthermore, the filtering assembly includes a connecting seat, a sliding seat, and a filter screen. The bottom of the connecting seat is connected to the sliding seat, and the end of the sliding seat is connected to the filter screen.
[0013] Furthermore, the sliding seat is slidably connected to the sliding groove, and the sliding seat is fixedly connected to the filter screen, with the outer surface of the filter screen fitting against the inner surface of the suction tube.
[0014] Furthermore, the steering assembly includes a motor, a drive gear, a rotating roller, a guardrail, and a lifting ring. The output end of the motor is connected to the drive gear, and the outer end of the drive gear is connected to the rotating roller. A guardrail is installed on the top outer side of the rotating roller, and a lifting ring is connected to the top outer side of the guardrail.
[0015] Furthermore, the drive gear meshes with the rotating wheel, and the guardrail and the rotating wheel are integrated.
[0016] This invention provides an automatically adjustable height mud pump support, which has the following advantages: The mud pump can extract mud and wastewater, and after extraction, the liquid level will decrease. Since the equipment floats on the wastewater surface, it can lower along with the wastewater level. During mud preparation and circulation, the equipment can rise and fall with the liquid level, ensuring that the suction pipe remains below the liquid surface to extract mud. This eliminates the need for frequent height adjustments based on the wastewater level, greatly improving the ease of use.
[0017] 1. The floating bucket of this invention is made of plastic, which gives it great buoyancy, allowing the entire device to float on the sewage surface. After the device is placed on the water surface, the electric actuator retracts, causing the mud pump to slide downwards inside the connecting seat. This allows the mud pump to insert the suction pipe into the mud. At this point, the mud pump operates to extract the mud and sewage. After the mud and sewage are extracted, the sewage level will drop. Since the device floats on the sewage surface, it can drop along with the sewage level. This ensures that the suction pipe remains embedded in the mud to extract the mud during use. This eliminates the need to frequently adjust the placement height according to the sewage level, greatly improving the ease of use of the device.
[0018] 2. The partition layer of the present invention is placed in the middle of the floating bucket, which can divide the inside of the floating bucket into two spaces of the same volume, and both spaces are filled with a certain weight of water. When the equipment is disturbed by factors such as vibration, unstable terrain, or strong winds during the process of pumping sewage, the water stored in the floating bucket can greatly reduce the occurrence of interference from external factors.
[0019] 3. During the mud suction process, the depth to which the suction tube is inserted into the mud can be adjusted by changing the extension distance of the electric actuator. This allows for automatic adjustment of the suction height according to the liquid level, as well as manual adjustment, making the equipment more flexible to use. In addition, after the suction tube is inserted into the mud, the positioning seats at both ends of the tube can be inserted into the mud even deeper. This allows the equipment to be positioned by inserting the positioning seats into the mud during use, which greatly improves the stability of the equipment during water suction.
[0020] 4. During the process of suction pipe for mud and sewage, the impurities in the mud and sewage can be blocked by the filter screen. This can prevent large impurities from entering the mud pump and causing damage. In addition, when too many impurities are filtered out by the filter screen, it can be pushed out by the electric push rod, which can drive the mud pump to move upward. During the upward movement of the mud pump, it can drive the suction pipe to move upward as well. During the upward movement of the suction pipe, the sliding groove on its outer side will slide at the outer end of the sliding seat, which allows the filter screen to slide inside the suction pipe. After sliding inside the suction pipe, the filter screen can move from the middle of the suction pipe to the opening of the suction pipe. This allows the suction pipe to discharge the filtered impurities from the opening of the suction pipe, which can effectively prevent the suction pipe from becoming blocked. This sewage discharge structure can be achieved simply by moving the suction pipe up and down. This allows the equipment to achieve automatic sewage discharge of the filter screen without the need to add new components, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
[0021] 5. During the mud extraction process, if the placement position needs to be changed, the electric actuator moves the suction pipe upward, allowing the positioning seat to be pulled out of the mud. At this time, the user on land can move the equipment floating on the water by pulling the rope. In addition, the motor can drive the drive gear to rotate the rotating wheel. By rotating the rotating wheel, the lifting ring with the suspension rope can be moved to the side closer to the user. This can effectively prevent the equipment from tipping over due to uneven force during the user pulling the suspension rope, which can effectively improve the displacement stability of the equipment during the displacement process.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-8The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatically adjustable height mud pump support, including a support base 1, a floating component 2, and a suction component 7. The floating component 2 is provided on the outer bottom of the support base 1. The floating component 2 includes a floating bucket 201, a partition layer 202, a connecting plate 203, a connecting pipe 204, and a water valve 205. The partition layer 202 is connected to the middle inner side of the floating bucket 201, and the connecting plate 203 is provided on both outer sides of the floating bucket 201. The connecting pipe 204 is connected to the outer surface of the floating bucket 201, and the water valve 205 is installed at the middle outer side of the connecting pipe 204. A connecting seat 3 is provided at the middle top of the support base 1, and a mud pump 4 is installed at the middle inner side of the connecting seat 3. Connecting rods 5 are provided on both outer sides of the mud pump 4, and an electric actuator 6 is connected to the outer bottom of the connecting rod 5. The suction component 7 is located on the outer bottom of the mud pump 4, and a filter component 8 is connected to the outer end of the suction component 7. A steering component 9 is provided at the outer top of the support base 1.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 The floating bucket 201 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 203 by bolts, and the floating bucket 201 and the connecting plate 203 are connected to form a rectangle. The floating bucket 201 is connected to another floating bucket 201 through the connecting pipe 204, and the connecting pipe 204 is placed at an angle. The connecting seat 3 is sleeved and connected to the mud pump 4, and the mud pump 4 and the connecting rod 5 are integrated.
[0033] The specific operation is as follows: Before drilling, the drilling equipment is placed in the mud pit. The floating bucket 201 is made of plastic, which gives it great buoyancy, allowing the entire equipment to float on the surface of the sewage. After the equipment is placed on the water surface, the electric actuator 6 retracts, which drives the mud pump 4 to slide down inside the connecting seat 3. This allows the mud pump 4 to drive the suction pipe 701 into the mud. At this time, the mud pump 4 operates to extract the mud and sewage. After the mud and sewage are extracted, the liquid level will drop. Since the equipment is floating on the surface of the sewage, it can move along with the sewage level. The reduced height allows the suction pipe 701 to remain submerged in the mud during operation, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the installation height based on the sewage level. This significantly improves the ease of use. The partition layer 202, located in the middle of the floating tank 201, divides the interior of the floating tank 201 into two equal-volume spaces, each filled with a certain weight of water. The water stored in the floating tank 201 greatly reduces the impact of external factors during sewage extraction, such as vibrations, uneven terrain, or strong winds.
[0034] Please see Figure 5-8The suction assembly 7 includes a suction pipe 701, a positioning seat 702, and a sliding groove 703. The positioning seat 702 is connected to the front and rear sides of the suction pipe 701, and the sliding groove 703 is provided on the left and right sides of the suction pipe 701. The suction pipe 701 is connected to the mud pump 4, and the mud pump 4 is perpendicular to the connecting rod 5. The filtering assembly 8 includes a connecting seat 801, a sliding seat 802, and a filter screen 803. The sliding seat 802 is connected to the bottom of the connecting seat 801, and the filter screen 803 is connected to the end of the sliding seat 802. The sliding seat 802 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 703, and the sliding seat 802 is slidably connected to the filter screen. 803 is fixedly connected, and the outer surface of the filter screen 803 is in contact with the inner surface of the suction tube 701. The directional assembly 9 includes a motor 901, a drive gear 902, a rotating wheel 903, a guardrail 904, and a lifting ring 905. The output end of the motor 901 is connected to the drive gear 902, and the outer end of the drive gear 902 is connected to the rotating wheel 903. The guardrail 904 is installed on the top outer side of the rotating wheel 903, and the lifting ring 905 is connected to the top outer side of the guardrail 904. The drive gear 902 and the rotating wheel 903 mesh with each other, and the guardrail 904 and the rotating wheel 903 are integrated.
[0035] The specific operation is as follows: During the mud suction process, the depth to which the suction pipe 701 is inserted into the mud can be adjusted by changing the extension distance of the electric push rod 6. This allows for automatic adjustment of the suction height based on the liquid level, as well as manual adjustment, making the equipment more flexible to use. Furthermore, after the suction pipe 701 is inserted into the mud, the positioning seats 702 at both ends can penetrate even deeper into the mud. This allows for auxiliary positioning of the equipment during use by inserting the positioning seats 702 into the mud, greatly improving the stability of the equipment during water surface suction. During the process of slurry and sewage being sucked into the suction pipe 701, impurities in the slurry and sewage can be blocked by the filter screen 803. This prevents large impurities from entering the slurry pump 4 and causing damage to it. In addition, when too many impurities are filtered out by the filter screen 803, it can be pushed out by the electric push rod 6, which can drive the slurry pump 4 to move upward. During the upward movement of the slurry pump 4, it can drive the suction pipe 701 to move upward as well. During the upward movement of the suction pipe 701, the sliding groove 703 on its outer side will slide at the outer end of the sliding seat 802, which allows the filter screen 803 to slide inside the suction pipe 701. After the filter screen 803 slides inside the suction pipe 701, it can move from the middle of the suction pipe 701 to the opening of the suction pipe 701. This allows the suction pipe 701 to discharge the filtered impurities from its opening, effectively preventing clogging. This discharge structure can be achieved simply by moving the suction pipe 701 up and down, allowing the equipment to automatically discharge the filter screen 803 without the need for additional components. This reduces the equipment's manufacturing cost. A pull rope can be attached to the lifting ring 905. If the placement position needs to be changed during mud extraction, the electric actuator 6 moves the suction pipe 701 upward, allowing the positioning seat 702 to exit the mud. When the device is pulled out, the user on land can move the floating equipment by pulling the rope. In addition, the motor 901 drives the drive gear 902 to rotate the rotating wheel 903. By rotating the rotating wheel 903, the guardrail 904 moves the hanging ring 905 with the hanging rope to the side closer to the user. This can effectively prevent the equipment from tipping over due to uneven force when the user pulls the hanging rope. This can effectively improve the displacement stability of the equipment during the displacement process. Since the equipment often needs to be climbed on to adjust the entire equipment during use, the guardrail 904 can effectively prevent the staff from falling.
[0036] In summary, this automatic height-adjustable mud pump bracket allows for the following operation: Before drilling, the equipment is placed in a mud pit. The floating bucket 201, made of plastic, provides significant buoyancy, enabling the entire equipment to float on the mud surface. Once the equipment is in place, the electric actuator 6 retracts, causing the mud pump 4 to slide downwards within the connecting seat 3. This allows the suction pipe 701 to penetrate the mud. The mud pump 4 then extracts mud and wastewater. As the wastewater level decreases, the equipment, floating on the surface, lowers along with the wastewater level. This ensures the suction pipe 701 remains embedded in the mud during operation, eliminating the need for frequent height adjustments based on wastewater levels and significantly improving usability.
[0037] Then, when the equipment is disturbed by factors such as vibration, uneven terrain, or strong winds during the process of pumping out sewage, the water stored in the floating bucket 201 can greatly reduce the occurrence of interference from external factors.
[0038] During the mud suction process, the depth to which the suction pipe 701 is inserted into the mud can be changed by altering the extension distance of the electric push rod 6. This allows for not only automatic adjustment of the suction height according to the liquid level but also manual adjustment, making the equipment more flexible to use. Furthermore, after the suction pipe 701 is inserted into the mud, the positioning seats 702 at both ends can penetrate even deeper into the mud. This allows the equipment to be positioned by inserting the positioning seats 702 into the mud during use, which greatly improves the stability of the equipment during water suction.
[0039] During the subsequent process of sludge and sewage being sucked into the suction pipe 701, impurities in the sludge and sewage are blocked by the filter screen 803. This prevents large debris from entering the sludge pump 4 and causing damage. In addition, when too many impurities are filtered out by the filter screen 803, it is pushed out by the electric push rod 6, which can drive the sludge pump 4 to move upward. During the upward movement of the sludge pump 4, it can drive the suction pipe 701 upward as well. During the upward movement of the suction pipe 701, the sliding groove 703 on its outer side slides at the outer end of the sliding seat 802, which allows the filter screen 803 to slide inside the suction pipe 701. After the filter screen 803 slides inside the suction tube 701, it can move from the middle of the suction tube 701 to the opening of the suction tube 701. This allows the suction tube 701 to discharge the filtered impurities from the opening of the suction tube 701, which can effectively prevent the suction tube 701 from becoming blocked. This sewage discharge structure can be achieved simply by moving the suction tube 701 up and down. This allows the equipment to achieve automatic sewage discharge of the filter screen 803 without the need to add new components, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
[0040] Finally, during the mud extraction process, if the placement position needs to be changed, the electric actuator 6 drives the suction pipe 701 upward, allowing the positioning seat 702 to be pulled out of the mud. At this time, the user on land can move the equipment floating on the water by pulling the rope. In addition, the operation of the motor 901 can drive the drive gear 902 to rotate the rotating wheel 903. By rotating the rotating wheel 903, the guardrail 904 can move the hanging ring 905 with the hanging rope to the side closer to the user. This can effectively prevent the equipment from tipping over due to uneven force when the user pulls the hanging rope. This can effectively improve the displacement stability of the equipment during the displacement process. Since the equipment often needs to be climbed on by staff to adjust the entire equipment during use, the guardrail 904 can effectively prevent staff from falling.
