Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a rear-axle steering continuous tube working roller semi-trailer. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing maturity of coiled tubing operation technology in China, the demand for coiled tubing technology and equipment is also constantly increasing. Coiled tubing operations offer advantages such as fewer personnel required, high speed, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, making them an indispensable operational technology in the development of numerous oil and gas fields. The number of coiled tubing operation equipment in use and the amount of maintenance required in various oil and gas fields are also steadily increasing. With the continuous development of oil and gas resources, the application areas of coiled tubing operations are constantly expanding, and the requirements for pipe diameter and length are becoming increasingly stringent. The maximum capacity of the drums that can be transported by vehicle-mounted coiled tubing operation equipment is 2”-6600m; therefore, the transportation challenges for coiled tubing exceeding 2”-6600m will become increasingly urgent.
[0003] Currently, rear-axle steering semi-trailers are mainly used in logistics applications such as heavy-duty transport. Therefore, using rear-axle steering semi-trailers for roller transport has become a development direction for continuous pipe operation equipment. The steering structure of existing rear-axle steering semi-trailers is typically a steering linkage mechanism. This mechanism enables rear-axle steering, allowing for differentiated control of the steering angles of each axle tire, resulting in less tire wear during cornering. Therefore, it is widely used. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Based on the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0049] The rear-axle steering continuous pipe working roller semi-trailer provided in this invention realizes the rear axle steering function through the rear axle drive mechanism, which can meet the transportation requirements of continuous pipes of 2”-6600m or more. By sequentially connecting the frame, upper support seat, turntable bearing, lower support seat and rear axle assembly, the steering mechanism drives the lower support seat to realize the steering of the rear axle assembly. During the steering process, there is no interference or restriction from the wheels and suspension. The relative turning angle between the frame and the wheels is large, which reduces the turning radius of the semi-trailer and saves steering space. This allows for a reduction in the overall vehicle width and size, thus lowering production and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the rear axle drive mechanism has a simple structure. Compared with the prior art, it does not require a complex transmission mechanism, which improves the reliability of the steering drive, enhances the overall vehicle safety, and reduces the driving intensity.
[0050] The rear-axle steering continuous pipe operation roller semi-trailer provided in this embodiment of the invention uses a rear axle drive mechanism to achieve rear axle steering. Compared with vehicles that use steering linkage mechanisms in the prior art, the chassis does not need to use a load-bearing steering axle chassis. The chassis only needs to meet the load-bearing requirements of the rear axle drive mechanism, which reduces the difficulty of chassis manufacturing and further reduces manufacturing costs.
[0051] The rear-axle steering continuous pipe operation roller semi-trailer provided in this embodiment of the invention achieves the hinge connection between the roller and the frame through the roller support seat. The roller lifting mechanism drives the roller to lift and lower with the roller support seat as the fulcrum. Lifting the roller by the roller lifting mechanism can increase the gap between the roller and the ground, enhance the semi-trailer's ability to pass through obstacle roads. Furthermore, after the roller is lifted, the center of gravity of the roller moves forward, increasing the adhesion of the tractor's drive axle, improving the climbing ability, and reducing transportation costs. It can meet the needs of both roller transportation and on-site operation, and can meet the transportation needs of continuous pipes of 2”-6600m and above in shale gas areas with complex terrain.

Figures 1-5 As shown, the rear axle steering continuous pipe working roller semi-trailer includes: a frame 1, and rollers 3, a rear axle assembly 4, and a rear axle steering mechanism 5 disposed on the frame 1;
[0072] The rear axle steering mechanism 5 includes an upper support 501, a turntable bearing 502, a lower support 503, and a steering drive assembly 504;
[0073] The steering drive assembly 504 and the upper support seat 501 are disposed on the vehicle frame 1, the turntable bearing 502 is connected to the upper support seat 501 and the lower support seat 503 respectively, and the lower support seat 503 is fixedly connected to the rear axle assembly 4;
[0074] The steering drive assembly 504 is connected to the lower support 503 to drive the lower support 503 to rotate relative to the upper support 501, thereby causing the rear axle assembly 4 to rotate.
[0075] The rear axle assembly 4 described in this embodiment of the invention may include structures such as axles, tires, wheel rims, and suspension. The suspension may be a leaf spring balance suspension. The specific implementation method can be referred to the detailed description in the prior art. The specific structural form of the rear axle assembly 4 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention.
[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, the frame 1 is a frame-type frame, which can adopt the load-bearing axle in the prior art. The frame 1 is connected to the rear axle assembly 4 through the rear axle steering mechanism 5. The steering drive component 504 acts on the turntable bearing 502 to realize the relative rotation between the frame 1 and the rear axle assembly 4, thereby realizing the rear axle steering of the semi-trailer.
[0077] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the frame 1 includes a front frame 109, a rear frame 107, and a frame connecting beam 102; the front frame 109 and the rear frame 107 are fixedly connected by the frame connecting beam 102; the upper support seat 501 is fixed to the bottom of the rear frame 107; and the roller 3 is fixed to the front frame 109.
[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, the turntable bearing 502 may include an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring; the inner bearing ring is fixedly connected to the upper support seat 501, and the outer bearing ring is fixedly connected to the lower support seat 503.
[0079] In one specific embodiment, in the rear axle steering mechanism 5, the upper support 501 and the inner ring of the turntable bearing 502 are bolted together, and the lower support 503 and the outer ring of the turntable bearing 502 are bolted together. Of course, in this embodiment of the invention, the fixed connection method between the inner ring of the bearing and the upper support 501, and between the outer ring of the bearing and the lower support 503, can refer to the detailed description in the prior art, and is not specifically limited here.
[0080] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the steering drive assembly 504 may include: a first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and a second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042.
[0081] Two first steering hydraulic cylinder fixing parts 106 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 1. The cylinder bodies of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 are respectively connected to the first steering hydraulic cylinder fixing parts 106.
[0082] Two second steering hydraulic cylinder fixing parts (not shown in the figure) are symmetrically arranged on the lower support 503. The piston rods of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 are respectively connected to the second steering hydraulic cylinder fixing parts.
[0083] Reference Figure 7As shown, the first steering hydraulic cylinder fixing part 106 mentioned above can be a first steering hydraulic cylinder lug (not shown in the figure) provided on the frame 1. The first steering hydraulic cylinder lug is fixed to the rear side beam web of the frame 1. Correspondingly, the cylinder bodies of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 are provided with steering hydraulic cylinder body lugs (not shown in the figure). The steering hydraulic cylinder body lugs are connected to the first steering hydraulic cylinder lugs by a pin.
[0084] Correspondingly, the aforementioned second steering hydraulic cylinder fixing part can be a second steering hydraulic cylinder lug (not shown in the figure) provided on the lower support frame. Correspondingly, the piston rod ends of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 are provided with steering hydraulic cylinder piston rod lugs (not shown in the figure), and the steering hydraulic cylinder piston rod lugs and the second steering hydraulic cylinder lugs are connected by a pin.
[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, the extension and retraction of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 drive the lower support frame to rotate, thereby causing the relative rotation between the vehicle frame 1 and the rear axle assembly 4. For example, when it is necessary to push the lower support frame to rotate in the forward direction, the piston rod of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 can be extended and the piston rod of the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 can be retracted. The forward rotation of the lower support frame is achieved by pushing and pulling the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042. When it is necessary to push the lower support frame to rotate in the reverse direction, the piston rod of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 can be retracted and the piston rod of the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 can be extended. Of course, in other embodiments, the piston rod of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 can be extended while the piston rod of the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 can be retracted to achieve reverse rotation of the lower support frame, while the piston rod of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 can be retracted and the piston rod of the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 can be extended to achieve forward rotation of the lower support frame. Specifically, those skilled in the art can make settings according to actual needs, and in this embodiment of the invention, no specific limitation is made.
[0086] In this embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figures 1-4 As shown, the rear axle steering continuous pipe working roller semi-trailer may also include: a power mechanism 2, which is connected to the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 to drive the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042 to extend and retract.
[0087] In one specific embodiment, the power mechanism 2 may include a first hydraulic pump; the first hydraulic pump is connected to the hydraulic circuit of the first steering hydraulic cylinder 5041 and the second steering hydraulic cylinder 5042. The power mechanism 2 may also include an electric motor 201, which drives the first hydraulic pump to start working.
[0088] The rear-axle steering continuous pipe working roller semi-trailer provided in this embodiment of the invention achieves rear axle steering function through a rear axle drive mechanism, which can meet the transportation requirements of continuous pipes ranging from 2” to over 6600m. By sequentially connecting the frame 1, upper support seat 501, turntable bearing 502, lower support seat 503, and rear axle assembly 4, the steering mechanism drives the lower support seat 503 to achieve steering of the rear axle assembly 4. During the steering process, there is no interference or restriction from the wheels or suspension. The large relative turning angle between the frame 1 and the wheels reduces the turning radius of the semi-trailer, saves steering space, and thus reduces the overall width and size of the vehicle, thereby reducing production and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the rear axle drive mechanism has a simple structure. Compared with the prior art, it does not require a complex transmission mechanism, which improves the reliability of steering drive, enhances the overall vehicle safety, and reduces the driving intensity of the vehicle.
[0089] The rear-axle steering continuous pipe operation roller semi-trailer provided in this embodiment of the invention uses a rear axle drive mechanism to achieve rear axle steering. Compared with vehicles that use steering linkage mechanisms in the prior art, the frame 1 does not need to use a load-bearing steering axle frame 1. The frame 1 only needs to meet the load-bearing requirements of the rear axle drive mechanism, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the frame 1 and further reduces the manufacturing cost.
[0090] As a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 7 As shown, a roller support seat 101 is provided on the frame 1, and the roller 3 is hinged to the roller support seat 101. In this embodiment of the invention, the roller 3 is fixed to the frame 1 by the roller support seat 101. The front frame 109 of the frame 1 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the roller 3, and the roller 3 is installed in the receiving cavity of the frame 1 by a recessed installation method.
[0091] In one specific embodiment, it can be referred to Figure 2 , Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, the roller 3 includes a base 305, the base 305 is provided with a rotating shaft 3051, and the roller support 101 includes an upper mounting base 1011 and a lower mounting base 1012.
[0092] The lower mounting base 1012 is fixed to the vehicle frame 1, the upper mounting base 1011 is detachably connected to the lower mounting base 1012, and the rotating shaft 3051 is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity of the upper mounting base 1011 and the lower mounting base 1012.
[0093] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 9B As shown, the rear axle steering continuous pipe working roller semi-trailer also includes a roller lifting mechanism 7;
[0094] The roller lifting mechanism 7 is located at one end of the frame 1 away from the roller support 101 to drive the roller to move up and down along the roller support 101.
[0095] The rear-axle steering continuous pipe operation roller semi-trailer provided in this embodiment of the invention achieves the hinge connection between the roller and the frame 1 through the roller support seat 101. The roller lifting mechanism 7 drives the roller to lift and lower with the roller support seat 101 as the fulcrum. Lifting the roller by the roller lifting mechanism 7 can increase the gap between the roller and the ground, enhance the semi-trailer's ability to pass through obstacle roads. Furthermore, after the roller is lifted, the center of gravity of the roller moves forward, increasing the adhesion of the tractor's drive axle, improving the climbing ability, reducing transportation costs, and achieving a balance between roller transportation and on-site operation needs. It can meet the transportation needs of continuous pipes of 2”-6600m and above in shale gas areas with complex terrain.
[0096] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 9A , Figure 9B and Figure 10 As shown, the above-mentioned roller lifting mechanism 7 includes a first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and a second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702;
[0097] Two first lifting hydraulic cylinder fixing parts 103 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 1, and the cylinder bodies of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 are respectively connected to the first lifting hydraulic cylinder fixing parts 103.
[0098] Two second lifting hydraulic cylinder fixing parts (not shown in the figure) are symmetrically arranged on the base 305. The piston rods of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 are respectively connected to the second lifting hydraulic cylinder fixing parts.
[0099] The aforementioned first lifting hydraulic cylinder fixing part 103 can be a first lifting hydraulic cylinder lug provided on the frame 1. Correspondingly, the cylinder body of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 is provided with a lifting hydraulic cylinder body lug (not shown in the figure), and the lifting hydraulic cylinder body lug is connected to the first lifting hydraulic cylinder lug by a pin.
[0100] Accordingly, the aforementioned second lifting hydraulic cylinder fixing part can be a second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 ear seat provided on the base 305. Correspondingly, the piston rod ends of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 are provided with lifting hydraulic cylinder piston rod ear seats, and the lifting hydraulic cylinder piston rod ear seats and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 ear seats are connected by a pin.
[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, the extension and retraction of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 drive the roller 3 to rotate around the roller support seat 101 as a fulcrum, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering of the roller 3. When the piston rods of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 extend, the roller 3 rises, which can increase the ground clearance of the entire vehicle. When the roller 3 rises, the center of gravity will shift forward, and the tractor drive axle will obtain greater traction, which helps to improve the climbing ability of the entire vehicle.
[0102] In one specific embodiment, the extension and retraction of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 are controlled by a drive mechanism, wherein, referring to Figure 10 As shown, the power mechanism 2 may include a second hydraulic pump, a four-way directional valve 205 and four one-way throttle valves 206;
[0103] The second hydraulic pump is connected to the hydraulic circuit of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 through the four-way reversing valve 205.
[0104] The outlet end of the four-way reversing valve 205 is connected to the inlet end of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702, and the inlet end of the four-way reversing valve 205 is connected to the outlet end of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702.
[0105] The four one-way throttle valves 206 are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702.
[0106] In this embodiment of the invention, a one-way throttle valve 206 is installed between the second hydraulic pump and the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 to achieve pressure balance between the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702, ensuring the consistency of the actions of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702, and realizing smooth lifting of the roller. When the power mechanism 2 outputs hydraulic force to the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702, the piston rods of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 will move upward synchronously, causing the roller 3 to rotate along the hinge point. The roller 3 tilts forward and its center of gravity is raised, increasing the ground clearance of the roller 3. Due to the forward tilt of the roller 3, the center of gravity of the roller 3 will move forward, and the rear axle of the tractor vehicle will obtain greater traction, which helps to improve the climbing ability of the whole vehicle. In this embodiment of the invention, the specific structure of the four-way reversing valve and the one-way throttle valve can be referred to the detailed description in the prior art. Those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. In this embodiment of the invention, no specific limitation is made.

[0110] In this embodiment of the invention, by connecting the oil collection tray 306 and the base 305 of the roller 3 into one unit, the oil collection tray 306 can rise and fall synchronously with the base 305. When encountering road sections with high ground clearance for the entire vehicle, such as road sections in shale gas areas with complex terrain, the height of the roller 3 and the oil collection tray 306 is increased by the roller lifting mechanism 7 to ensure the safe passage of the vehicle on road sections with complex terrain and to improve the adaptability of the rear axle steering continuous pipe operation roller semi-trailer to different road environments.

[0116] In this embodiment of the invention, the roller 3 is supported by the roller rotation support mechanism 6. When the roller 3 needs to be in a lifted state for a long time, the rotating support frame 601 is driven to move by the rotating support frame drive mechanism 602, so that the rotating support frame 601 is placed below the base 305 of the roller 3, thereby supporting the roller 3, ensuring the stability of the roller 3 in the lifted state, and improving the reliability of the roller 3.

When the support plate 6012 on the support beam 6013 is located at a preset position below the base 305 of the roller 3, the extension of the piston rods of the first lifting hydraulic cylinder 701 and the second lifting hydraulic cylinder 702 can be appropriately reduced, so that the base 305 of the roller 3 presses the support plate 6012, thereby transmitting the supporting force of the roller 3 from the support beam 6013 and the rotary support seat 6011 to the frame 1, ensuring the stable support of the roller 3 by the rotary support mechanism, and maintaining the roller 3 in the lifted state.
