Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydraulic drilling rig machinery, and particularly relates to a drill rod clamping device and a hydraulic drilling rig. Background Technology

[0002] For a long time, drill pipe clamping devices have been widely used in the field of hydraulic drilling rigs. They are an indispensable device for clamping and fixing drill pipes and for unscrewing them. Especially in automatic rod loading systems, clamping devices are essential components.

[0003] However, research has revealed the following problems with the clamping devices in existing upper rod mechanisms during actual operation and construction:

[0004] 1. Existing drill pipe clamping devices have a limited clamping range. One type of clamping device can only clamp drill pipes or drill collars of one diameter. When drilling operations are carried out using drill pipes or drill collars of different diameters, technical problems of poor adaptability will occur, which will seriously affect drilling efficiency and restrict the application and development of automatic rod loading technology.

[0005] 2. Drill pipe clamping devices are usually used in conjunction with drill pipe conveying devices. Studies have shown that for the clamping device to work better with the drill pipe conveying device, it must have a certain height adjustment function to achieve the centering effect with the drill pipe conveying device.

[0006] 3. In actual construction operations, the jaw structure in the drill pipe clamping device is mainly used to clamp the drill pipe. Due to frequent contact and friction with the outer diameter of the drill pipe, the jaw wear is quite severe. The existing clamping device does not have a structure for replacing the jaws. When the jaw teeth on the surface are worn, they cannot be replaced, and when used to clamp the drill pipe again, the clamping will not be firm enough. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, a drill pipe clamping device includes a clamp base 1, a drill pipe conveying device 80, a lifting cylinder 16, and a clamp lifting body 2. The clamp base 1 is fixedly connected to the drill pipe conveying device 80. The clamp lifting body 2 is movably connected to the clamp base 1 via a T-shaped sliding plate 19. Two clamping bodies are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamp lifting body 2. The clamping bodies are provided with jaw assemblies, which are used to clamp drill pipes of different diameters. The jaw assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the clamp lifting body, and their maximum height does not contact the inner wall of the clamping body.

[0039] The clamp base 1 includes two T-shaped slide plates 19, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamp base 1. The two T-shaped slide plates 19 are connected to the clamp base 1 by countersunk bolts. An adjusting shim 27 is disposed between the T-shaped slide plates 19 and the clamp base 1. The adjusting shim 27 has two through holes. The clamp base 1 includes a clamp base front plate and a clamp base rear plate.

[0040] The clamp base 1 is provided with connecting plates on the left and right sides. The connecting plates are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The two connecting plates are connected to the clamp base 1 by welding. In order to connect with the T-shaped slide plate 19, two threaded holes are opened on the connecting plates. The T-shaped slide plate 19 is provided with countersunk through holes. The adjusting shim 27, the connecting plates and the T-shaped slide plate 19 are fixedly connected by countersunk bolts. The purpose of the adjusting shim 27 is to adjust the distance between the T-shaped slide plate 19 and the left and right connecting plates of the clamp base 1.

[0041] The upper part of the drill pipe conveying device 80 has a V-shaped groove for supporting and transporting the drill pipe to a predetermined position. A connecting square plate is provided at the front end of the drill pipe conveying device 80. The back plate of the clamp base 1 is assembled to the connecting square plate of the drill pipe conveying device 80 and is fixedly connected by drill pipe conveying device bolts 24, drill pipe conveying device spring washers 30, drill pipe conveying device flat washers 15, and drill pipe conveying device nuts 25. The drill pipe conveying device bolts 24 are hexagonal head bolts with holes in the head.

[0042] The lifting cylinder 16 is disposed inside the clamp base 1, and the tail end of the lifting cylinder 16 is connected to the clamp base 1 via the lower connecting shaft 20 of the lifting cylinder.

[0043] To prevent the lower connecting shaft 20 of the lifting cylinder from rotating, a groove is milled at one end of the lower connecting shaft 20. A clamping plate 29 is placed in the groove, and the clamping plate 29 is fixed to the outside of the rear plate of the clamp base by the lifting cylinder spring washer 14 and the lifting cylinder bolt 17. The lifting cylinder bolt 17 is a hexagonal head bolt.

[0044] A clamp lifting body 2 is provided above the clamp base 1, and the guard plate of the T-shaped slide plate 19 is fixed inside the clamp lifting body 2 by welding.

[0045] The clamp lifting body 2 includes a clamp lifting body front plate and a clamp lifting body rear plate. The upper part of the clamp lifting body front plate and the clamp lifting body rear plate is a dovetail-shaped slot, which is fixed to the dovetail-shaped support by welding. The upper part of the clamp lifting body front plate and the clamp lifting body rear plate has a through hole. The cylinder head end of the lifting cylinder 16 is connected to the clamp lifting body 2 through the upper connecting shaft 13 of the lifting cylinder.

[0046] Similarly, in order to prevent the connecting shaft 13 on the lifting cylinder from rotating, a groove is milled at one end of the connecting shaft 13 on the lifting cylinder, and the clamping plate 29 is placed in the groove. The clamping plate 29 is fixed to the outside of the front plate of the clamp lifting body 2 by the lifting cylinder spring washer 14 and the lifting cylinder bolt 17.

[0047] When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 16 extends, the clamp lifting body 2 will move upward, achieving alignment with the drill pipe conveying device 80.

[0048] The dovetail-shaped support is provided with a first lower jaw 28, a second lower jaw 11, a second left lower jaw seat 10, and a second right lower jaw seat 26; the outer edge shape of the first lower jaw 28, the second left lower jaw seat 10, and the second right lower jaw seat 26 is dovetail-shaped, which is compatible with the concave shape of the dovetail-shaped support, and a fit is formed by a small clearance insertion and extraction method.

[0049] The dovetail support has symmetrical threaded holes on the left and right sides and front and back. A limiting plate 4 is provided on the dovetail support, and the limiting plate 4 is bolted to the dovetail support. When different ranges of drill rod need to be clamped, the limiting plates 4 on both sides of the dovetail support can be removed to replace the first lower jaw 28, the second lower left jaw seat 10, and the second lower right jaw seat 26. The limiting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the threaded holes by a support spring washer and jaw bolts 5, used to limit the front and back displacement of the first lower jaw 28, the second lower left jaw seat 10, or the second lower right jaw seat 26, preventing them from moving out of the dovetail support. The jaw bolts 5 are hexagonal head bolts with holes in the head.

[0050] The second lower left jaw holder 10 and the second lower right jaw holder 26 have non-through arc grooves for placing the second lower jaw 11. Threaded holes are opened at one end of the second lower left jaw holder 10 and the second lower right jaw holder 26. The second lower left jaw holder 10 and the second lower right jaw holder 26 are placed into the non-through arc grooves. Considering the need to limit the displacement of the other end of the second lower jaw 11, three threaded holes are opened at one end of the second lower left jaw holder 10 and the second lower right jaw holder 26. A second lower jaw stop bar 12 is provided on one side of the second lower jaw 11. The second lower jaw stop bar 12 is connected to the second lower left jaw holder 10 and the second lower right jaw holder 26 by bolts, which can limit the movement of the second lower jaw 11. The second lower jaw stop bar 12 is fixedly connected to two threaded holes at one end of the second left lower jaw seat 10 by jaw bolt 5 and second lower jaw spring washer 32; the second lower jaw stop bar 12 is used to fix one end of the second lower jaw 11 to prevent the second lower jaw 11 from being displaced out of the second left lower jaw seat 10 and the second right lower jaw seat 26.

[0051] To limit excessive rotation of the second lower jaw 11 within the arc grooves of the second lower left jaw seat 10 and the second lower right jaw seat 26, an arc groove is milled at one end of the second lower jaw 11. The jaw stop bolt 7 presses the second lower jaw flat washer 31 onto the arc groove at the outer end of the second lower jaw 11, thus limiting the rotation of the second lower jaw 11. In addition, when clamping the drill pipe, a small rotation of the second lower jaw 11 allows for a larger clamping contact area between the second lower jaw 11 and the drill pipe, resulting in a better clamping effect.

[0052] The first lower jaw 28 is used to clamp all drill rods within the range of 260mm diameter drill rod 88 and 110mm diameter drill rod 89. The second lower left jaw seat 10, the second lower right jaw seat 26, and the second lower jaw 11 are used to clamp all drill rods within the range of 73mm diameter drill rod 90 and 89mm diameter drill rod 91.

[0053] When the second lower jaw 11 is severely worn and needs to be replaced, the second lower jaw stop strip 12 can be removed for replacement; when the first lower jaw 28 is severely worn and needs to be replaced, the limit plate 4 can be removed for replacement; the setting of the second lower jaw stop strip 12 and the limit plate 4 achieves the purpose of convenient replacement of vulnerable parts;

[0054] The clamp lifting body 2 is provided with a left clamping body 6 and a right clamping body 18 on both sides; the left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 are symmetrically arranged, and each of the left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 is provided with a clamping body front plate, a clamping body rear plate and a connecting rib plate. The clamping body front plate, clamping body rear plate, connecting rib plate and upper jaw seat are fixed by welding; the left clamping body 6, the right clamping body 18 and the clamp lifting body 2 are rotatably connected by the first clamping body connecting shaft 22;

[0055] The upper parts of the left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 are welded with upper jaw seats. The upper jaw seats have non-through arc grooves for placing upper jaw teeth 9 and limiting the displacement of one end of the upper jaw teeth. The upper jaw teeth 9 protrude from one end of the upper jaw seat. Considering the need to limit the displacement of the other end of the upper jaw teeth 9, three threaded holes are opened at one end of the upper jaw seat. When the upper jaw teeth 9 are placed in the non-through arc groove, an upper jaw tooth stop bar 8 is provided on one side of the upper jaw teeth 9. The upper jaw tooth stop bar 8 fixes one end of the upper jaw teeth 9 to the two threaded holes at one end of the upper jaw seat through jaw teeth bolts 5, upper jaw teeth spring washers, and upper jaw teeth flat washers to prevent the upper jaw teeth 9 from moving out of the upper jaw seat. When the upper jaw teeth are worn and need to be replaced, the jaw teeth bolts 5 can be removed for replacement. The jaw teeth bolts 5 are bolts with holes in the head.

[0056] To limit excessive rotation of the upper jaw 9 within the arc groove of the upper jaw seat, an arc groove is milled at one end of the upper jaw 9. A jaw stop bolt 7 presses a flat washer against the arc groove at the outer end of the upper jaw 9, thus limiting its rotation. Furthermore, when clamping the drill pipe, a small amount of rotation of the upper jaw 9 allows for a larger clamping contact area between the upper jaw 9 and the drill pipe, resulting in a better clamping effect. The jaw stop bolt 7 is an internal hex head bolt.

[0057] The left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 are connected to clamping cylinders 3; the clamping cylinders 3 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and the clamp lifting body 2 is movably connected to the left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 through a first clamping body connecting shaft 22; the clamping cylinders 3 are movably connected to the left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 through a second clamping body connecting shaft 23; similarly, in order to prevent the first clamping body connecting shaft 22 and the second clamping body connecting shaft 23 from rotating, a groove is milled on one section of the first clamping body connecting shaft 22 and the second clamping body connecting shaft 23, and a clamping plate 29 is placed in the groove. The clamping plate 29 is fixed to the outside of the front plate of the left clamping body 6, the right clamping body 18 and the clamp lifting body 2 through clamping body spring washers and clamping body bolts; the clamping cylinders 3 and the clamp lifting body 2 are connected through a clamping cylinder lower connecting shaft 21.

[0058] When the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 3 extends, the left clamping body 6 and the right clamping body 18 will retract, thereby clamping the drill pipe or drill collar.

[0059] Existing drill pipe clamping devices suffer from drawbacks during construction, including difficulties in replacing easily damaged jaw components, poor alignment when used with drill pipe conveying devices, and an inability to clamp drill pipes and drill collars of different diameters. These issues hinder the overall efficiency of drill pipe loading. As a key component in drill pipe loading and unloading, the drill pipe clamping device plays a crucial role and is often used in conjunction with the drill pipe conveying device. The ability of the clamping device to rise and fall to the predetermined position on the drill pipe conveying device, thereby successfully clamping the drill pipe, is a critical consideration in the design of the drill pipe clamping device.

[0060] The jaws of the drill pipe clamping device are the main force-bearing components that apply clamping force to the drill pipe. They are in constant contact with the outer wall of the drill pipe or drill collar and are subject to significant wear, making them vulnerable parts. Whether this component can be modularized and replaced in a timely manner is a major factor affecting the clamping effect. Furthermore, the ability to replace modular vulnerable parts is an important measure to reduce the cycle cost of the drill pipe clamping device.

[0061] In actual construction operations, drill pipes and drill collars of different diameters are often used. Whether the effect of clamping drill pipes and drill collars of different diameters can be achieved with the fewest parts can be of great significance for improving oil drilling and production efficiency and shortening the time cycle of drill pipe loading and unloading.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by designing a simple and easy-to-maintain telescopic drill mast structure, the problems of difficulty in replacing easily damaged parts of the drill mast during construction, as well as low construction efficiency due to uneven fit between the inner and outer sections of the drill mast, are solved, effectively improving the construction efficiency of the drill mast and the whole machine.

[0063] In response to the working environment and conditions of drill pipe conveying in oil drilling rigs, this application employs a drill pipe clamping device. Utilizing different types of lower jaw seat structures, the lower jaws are raised to accommodate drill pipes of varying diameters, such as 73mm to 89mm. This type of drill pipe clamping device features height adjustment and a jaw replacement mechanism. The height adjustment is achieved through a lifting cylinder. The device is connected to the drill pipe conveying device. When not in use, the device can be grounded for increased safety. When in use, the lifting cylinder raises the device to align with the drill pipe conveying V-groove for clamping. When used in conjunction with the drill pipe conveying device, it provides better alignment and allows for the replacement of excessively worn jaws, improving the efficiency of automatic drill pipe loading and unloading.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions of this invention based on the above description.
