Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the production and processing of drill pipes. In some production processes, the threads of the drill pipes need to be reliably connected together to ensure that the threads between the drill pipes are tightened in place before proceeding with the production and processing. Specifically, it is a flexible tightening system and detection control method for drill pipe thread connections. Background Art

[0002] When producing and processing drill pipes, in some production processes, the threads of the drill pipes need to be connected together first, and it is necessary to ensure that the threads between the drill pipes are tightened in place, and then the production and processing are carried out (for example: in the process of milling the helix of the drill pipe, first tighten the threads of two drill pipes together, and then carry out machining). At present, the tightening of drill pipe threads mainly relies on manual operation. There are a small number of specially developed drill pipe thread screwing devices that have defects such as difficult buttoning, incomplete thread tightening, and inability to detect thread tightening in real time online, resulting in thread tightening failure. This is mainly because the central axes of the two drill pipes are not concentric, and there are machining errors in the male and female threads of each drill pipe, resulting in difficult buttoning of the drill pipe threads. At the same time, it is difficult to ensure whether the threads are tightened in place; there are also centimeter-level errors in the length of each drill pipe, and the errors will accumulate after screwing multiple drill pipes, increasing the difficulty of thread tightening detection. During the milling process of the milling machine, the drill pipe is constantly subjected to periodic milling vibrations, and the tightened drill pipes to be processed will also become loose due to the vibrations, and it is impossible to ensure that the tightened drill pipes are always in a tightened state.

[0003] When the buttoning of the drill pipes fails, the two drill pipes cannot perform the thread screwing action, and the huge impact force is also likely to cause damage to the equipment and products. When the drill pipes are not tightened, during the milling process of the CNC spiral milling machine, the spiral forward trajectory of the drill pipe is prone to distortion, and there will be pauses and lags. On the one hand, it causes the processed drill pipes to be scrapped, and on the other hand, it causes the blades of the CNC spiral milling machine to break, and the tool holders and milling cutter heads are damaged, bringing huge losses to the production. The stoppage of the automated production workstation may trigger serious factory accidents. Therefore, the present invention mainly designs an automatic buttoning flexible tightening device for drill pipe threads and an online detection control method for thread tightening.

[0014] A detection and control method for drill pipe thread connection, which is realized by using the flexible tightening system for drill pipe thread connection described in the present invention, specifically includes the following steps:

[0015] Initial tightening:

[0016] (1) The feeding device transports the drill pipe to be made up forward. When the sensor after making up detects that there is a drill pipe, the feeding device immediately stops moving, and the moving and rotating chuck of the flexible making-up device clamps the drill pipe to be made up, realizing the initial alignment and positioning of the drill pipe to be made up;

[0017] (2) The flexible making-up device drives the drill pipe to be made up forward. When the sensor before making up detects that there is a drill pipe, the distance sensor records the rope length at this time as S1; the optical detection system detects that the deviation angle of the detection calibration point at this time is θ1;

[0018] (3) The flexible making-up device starts to advance spirally for making-up operation; when the torque sensor of the flexible making-up device detects that the torque is greater than the calibrated torque value, the flexible making-up device stops moving. At the same time, the distance sensor records the rope length at this time as S2; the optical detection system detects that the deviation angle of the detection calibration point at this time is θ2;

[0019] (4) Calculate the effective making-up length as S = |S1×cosθ1 - S2×cosθ2|, and calculate the error Δs = S - S0 between the measured effective making-up length and the calibrated effective making-up length. When Δs ≤ 0.3mm, it is considered that the drill pipe is tightened in place. The flexible making-up device releases the drill pipe to be made up and retreats to the rearmost end. The fixed clamping device releases the drill pipe to be processed, and the numerical control spiral milling machine starts the processing operation; otherwise, it is considered that the drill pipe is not tightened, an alarm is issued, and manual intervention is carried out;

[0020] The measuring method for the deviation angle θ of the detection calibration point detected by the optical detection system: After the sensor detection system gives a detection signal, the vision camera takes a picture of the position of the detection calibration point at this time. Through image processing and algorithms, the deviation direction and deviation amount of the detection calibration point relative to the coordinate origin in the radial direction of the drill pipe are determined.

[0021] The distance between the vision camera and the coordinate origin is S 原 ;

[0022] The deviation direction and deviation amount of the detection calibration point relative to the coordinate origin in the radial direction of the drill pipe are ΔS;

[0023] The value of the angle θ is:

[0024]

[0025] Among them, the measuring method for the value of S0:

[0026] For n drill pipes made up, record the effective making-up length each time as X1, X2…Xn;

[0027] The calculated effective calibration make-up length is:

[0028] Input the calculated effective calibration make-up length S0 into the control system;

[0029] Re-inspection:

[0030] When the milling machine control system simultaneously sends out a make-up signal and the milling machine rotating chuck reaches the front end limit signal, after completing the initial tightening step, the flexible make-up device clamps the drill pipe to be made up again, the milling machine rotating chuck of the CNC spiral milling machine clamps the drill pipe to be machined, and then the flexible make-up device rotates to make up again. When the torque sensor of the flexible make-up device detects that the torque is greater than the calibrated torque value, the flexible make-up device stops moving, and at the same time the distance sensor records the rope length at this time as S3; the optical detection system detects that the deviation angle of the detection calibration point at this time is θ3;

[0031] Calculate the re-tightening displacement S’, S’ = |S2×cosθ2 - S3×cosθ3|. When S’ ≤ 0.1 mm, it is considered that the multiple drill pipes for re-inspection have been tightened in place. The flexible make-up device releases the drill pipe to be made up, and the CNC spiral milling machine starts the machining operation; otherwise, it is considered that the drill pipe is not tightened, an alarm is issued, and manual intervention is carried out;

[0032] Ultrasonic vibration control: By receiving the deviation direction and deviation amount ΔS of the detection calibration point relative to the coordinate origin in the radial direction of the drill pipe from the visual detection system, the control center issues an instruction to control the vibration frequency and vibration amplitude of the first ultrasonic vibrator and the second ultrasonic vibrator, and realizes the swing of the drill pipe to be made up in the direction with the largest displacement deviation amount through resonance, and the swing amplitude is 1.5 - 2.5 times ΔS.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0034] First, the automatic tightening device for drill pipe threads and the on-line detection and control method of the present invention realize the automation of the tightening process of the threads of two drill pipes during the milling spiral machining of the drill pipe, and can realize the on-line detection and control of the tightening.

[0035] Second, the automatic flexible tightening device for drill pipe threads of the present invention innovatively designs a flexible thread tightening system, which includes a guiding device, an ultrasonic vibration device, and a flexible thread tightening device. The guiding device ensures the success rate of the thread alignment of two drill pipes. The flexible tightening device enables the drill pipe to be tightened to be in a floating state during the thread tightening operation. The ultrasonic vibration device continuously vibrates repeatedly according to certain instructions to avoid problems such as thread jamming and incomplete tightening caused by the non-alignment of the two drill pipes. This flexible thread tightening system solves the problem of thread tightening failure caused by severe bending and high non-alignment degree of the two drill pipes, and greatly improves the success rate of thread tightening.

[0036] Third, the online detection and control method of the automatic flexible tightening device for drill pipe threads of the present invention innovatively combines the measurement of distance sensors with visual detection technology to realize the real-time detection of the thread tightening state. By calculating the detection data between the distance sensors and the data obtained from visual detection, it is determined whether the effective thread tightening length of the drill pipe is within the specified range of the calibrated effective thread tightening length to ensure that the drill pipe has been initially tightened in place. Through re-inspection, the re-tightening distance of multiple drill pipes between the milling machine rotating chuck and the thread tightening device is calculated. By determining whether the re-tightening distance is less than 0.1 mm, it is determined again whether the drill pipes are all tightened in place before milling processing, thereby realizing the online detection and control of drill pipe thread tightening.

[0037] Fourth, compared with other similar products, the automatic flexible tightening device for drill pipe threads and the online detection and control method of the present invention have the advantages of flexible tightening of drill pipe threads, online detection and control of thread tightening, high success rate of thread tightening, low price, good safety performance, high reliability, and online detection of tightening state.

The clamp-on sensor a is located on the fixed clamping device 3 and is used to detect the opening and clamping states of a pair of jaws 36; the sensor b in front of the fixed clamping device is provided at the top of the fixed clamping device 3, and the sensor c behind the fixed clamping device is provided at the bottom of the fixed clamping device 3, mainly used to cooperate in detecting whether there is a drill pipe between the sensor b in front of the fixed clamping device and the sensor c behind the fixed clamping device; the distance sensor d is installed on the frame 41 close to the fixed clamping device 3, and the length measuring rope extended by the distance sensor d is fixedly installed on the upper cover plate 63 of the flexible floating device of the flexible screwing device 4, and the position of the drill pipe is measured by the extended length measuring rope.

The vision camera 91 is installed directly below the central axis of the fixed clamping device 3, and the detection calibration point 92 is installed directly below the central axis of the flexible screwing floating device 6.

[0063] The ultrasonic vibration device 7 is fixedly and symmetrically installed on the base 43 of the flexible screwing device, mainly including a first ultrasonic vibrator 71 and a second ultrasonic vibrator 72. The control center 73 obtains the deviation amount of the calibration point through the optical detection system, and issues instructions to control the vibration frequency and amplitude of the first ultrasonic vibrator 71 and the second ultrasonic vibrator 72 respectively, so as to realize the swing of the drill pipe 22 to be screwed in the direction with the largest displacement deviation amount.

[0064] The thread tightening control method of the present invention mainly determines whether the threads between the drill pipes are tightened in place according to the following rules:

[0065] The specific steps are as follows:

[0066] 1. Initial tightening

[0067] (1) When the milling machine control system of the numerical control spiral milling machine 1 issues a make-up signal, when the sensor b in front of the fixed clamping device detects the drill pipe 21 to be processed, and the sensor c behind the fixed clamping device detects that there is no drill pipe 21 to be processed, it proves that the drill pipe 21 to be processed falls within the specified range, and the system will perform the next action; otherwise, it proves that the drill pipe 21 to be processed exceeds the specified range, and the PLC control system alarms for manual intervention.

[0068] (2) When the feeding sensor i detects that there is no drill pipe 22 to be screwed, feeding is performed; when the feeding sensor i detects the drill pipe 22 to be screwed, and the sensor c behind the fixed clamping device detects that there is no drill pipe 21 to be processed, and the screwing zero point sensor h detects that the flexible screwing device 4 is at the rearmost end, the feeding device 5 conveys the drill pipe 22 to be screwed forward;

[0069] (3) When the sensor f after screwing detects the drill pipe 22 to be screwed, the feeding device 5 immediately stops moving, and the tightening chuck 41 of the flexible screwing device 4 clamps the drill pipe 22 to be screwed, realizing the initial alignment and positioning of the drill pipe 22 to be screwed.

[0070] (4) The flexible screwing device 4 continues to drive the drill pipe 22 to be screwed forward. When the sensor e before screwing detects the drill pipe 22 to be screwed (that is, detects the end face 21 of the drill pipe to be processed by the milling machine), the distance sensor d records the rope length at this time as S1;

[0071] (5) The flexible screwing device 4 starts to screw forward for the screwing operation. At the same time, the optical detection system 10 detects the deviation angle θ1 of the detection calibration point 92 at this time, calculates the radial deviation amount and deviation direction of the central axis of the detection calibration point 92 through the control center 73, and issues instructions to control the vibration frequency and amplitude of the first ultrasonic vibrator 71 and the second ultrasonic vibrator 72;

[0072] (4) When the torque sensor g of the flexible make-up device 4 detects that the torque is greater than the calibrated torque value, the flexible make-up device 4 stops moving. At the same time, the distance sensor d records the rope length at this time as S2, and the optical detection system 10 detects the deviation angle θ2 of the detection calibration point 92 at this time; the calibrated torque value is a set value, that is, the designed pre-tightening torque value of the drill pipe.

[0073] (5) The PLC control system calculates the effective make-up length as S = |S1×cosθ1 - S2×cosθ2|, calculates the error Δs = S - S0 between the measured effective make-up length and the calibrated effective make-up length. When Δs ≤ 0.3 mm, it is considered that the drill pipe 22 to be made up is tightened in place. The flexible make-up device 4 releases the drill pipe 22 to be made up and retreats to the rearmost end. The fixed clamping device 3 releases the drill pipe 21 to be machined, and the numerical control spiral milling machine 1 starts the machining operation; otherwise, it is considered that the drill pipe 22 to be made up is not tightened, an alarm is issued, and manual intervention is carried out.

[0074] Method for measuring the deviation angle θ of the detection calibration point 92 detected by the optical detection system:

[0075] After the sensor detection system gives a detection signal, the vision camera 91 takes a picture of the position of the detection calibration point 92 at this time. Through image processing and algorithms, the deviation direction and deviation amount of the detection calibration point 92 relative to the coordinate origin in the radial direction of the drill pipe are determined.

[0076] The distance between the vision camera 91 and the coordinate origin is S 原 ;

[0077] The deviation direction and deviation amount of the detection calibration point 92 relative to the coordinate origin in the radial direction of the drill pipe are ΔS;

[0078] The value of the angle θ is:

[0079]

[0080] Method for measuring the value of S0:

[0081] Manually jog the PLC control system (control center 73), automatically tighten n drill pipes 22 to be tightened, and record the effective make-up length each time as X1, X2…Xn;

[0082] Calculate the calibrated effective make-up length as:

[0083] Input the calculated calibrated effective make-up length S0 into the PLC control system (control center 73).

[0084] 2. Re-inspection

[0085] When the CNC spiral milling machine control system simultaneously sends out the make-up signal and the signal that the milling machine rotating chuck 11 reaches the front end limit, after the PLC control system completes the initial tightening step, the flexible make-up device 4 clamps the drill pipe 22 to be made up again, and the milling machine rotating chuck 11 of the CNC spiral milling machine 1 clamps the drill pipe 22 to be machined. Then, the flexible make-up device 4 rotates and makes up again. When the torque sensor g of the flexible make-up device 4 detects that the torque is greater than the calibrated torque value, the flexible make-up device 4 stops moving. At the same time, the distance sensor d records the rope length at this time as S3, and the optical detection system 10 detects that the deviation angle of the detection calibration point 92 at this time is θ3. The PLC control system calculates the re-tightening displacement S’, S’ = |S2×cosθ2 - S3×cosθ3|. When S’ ≤ 0.1 mm, it is considered that the multiple drill pipes for re-inspection have been tightened in place (the drill pipes for re-inspection are multiple drill pipes between the milling machine rotating chuck 11 and the flexible make-up device 4). The flexible make-up device 4 releases the drill pipe 22 to be made up, and the CNC spiral milling machine 1 starts the processing operation; otherwise, it is considered that the drill pipe is not tightened, an alarm is issued, and manual intervention is carried out.

[0086] 3. Ultrasonic vibration control

[0087] The control center 73 receives the deviation direction and deviation amount ΔS of the detection calibration point 92 relative to the coordinate origin in the radial direction of the drill pipe obtained by the visual detection system 10. The control center 73 issues an instruction to control the vibration frequency and vibration amplitude of the first ultrasonic vibrator 71 and the second ultrasonic vibrator 72, and realizes the swing of the drill pipe 22 to be made up in the direction with the largest displacement deviation amount through resonance, and the swing amplitude is 1.5 - 2.5 times ΔS.

When , it is considered that the drill pipe is tightened in place. The flexible make-up device (4) releases the drill pipe to be made up (22) and retracts to the rearmost end. The fixed clamping device (3) releases the drill pipe to be processed (21), and the CNC spiral milling machine (1) starts the processing operation; otherwise, it is considered that the drill pipe is not tightened, an alarm is issued, and manual intervention is carried out. Method for measuring the deviation angle θ of the detection calibration point (92) detected by the optical detection system: After the sensor detection system gives a detection signal, the vision camera (91) takes a picture of the position of the detection calibration point (92) at this time.
