Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil drilling machinery and equipment, and more particularly to a wellhead disassembly-free rotary blowout preventer. Background Art

[0002] Rotary blowout preventers are used to seal drill pipes during drilling and are essential key equipment in managed pressure drilling and underbalanced drilling. Rotary blowout preventers are mainly divided into two categories: active and passive. Due to factors such as complex control and very inconvenient on-site replacement of rubber cores, the application amount of active ones is much less than that of passive ones. The rubber core of the passive rotary blowout preventer has a short service life and often requires on-site replacement of the rubber core. The passive rotary blowout preventer generally includes a housing, a rotary assembly, and a clamp for connecting the housing and the rotary assembly. For example, the invention patent with the publication number CN1254052A discloses a drilling rotary blowout preventer, which is exactly a passive rotary blowout preventer. It includes a rotary assembly and a housing. A central pipe is provided in the rotary assembly. An upper connecting flange is provided at the upper part of the central pipe and is fixed on the central pipe by bolts and positioning pins. An upper rubber core is provided at the upper part of the central pipe. An oil pressure capsule is provided in the annulus between the upper rubber core and the central pipe. A lower rubber core leakage observation hole is provided at the upper part of the central pipe. A sliding bearing centering sleeve is provided outside the central pipe. A lubricating oil channel is provided in the sliding bearing centering sleeve, and a lubricating oil injection hole and a discharge hole are provided outside it. An axial thrust ball bearing and a radial tapered roller bearing are provided outside the middle part of the central pipe. A V-shaped packing, an anti-wear centering sleeve, cooling fins, and a cooling water inlet and outlet are provided at the lower part of the central pipe. A lower rubber core is also provided at the lower part of the central pipe and is fixed on the central pipe by bolts; the clamp is provided outside the housing and fixedly connects the rotary assembly and the housing through bolts. When the lower rubber core needs to be replaced, as long as the fixing bolts on the clamp are loosened, the rotary assembly can be lifted out together with the lower rubber core for replacement of the lower rubber. However, there are the following prominent problems in the process of replacing the rubber core: during the process of replacing the rubber core, the fixing bolts of the clamp need to be loosened, the rotary assembly needs to be lifted out, and before the rotary assembly is lifted out, the control oil circuit needs to be cut off and the lubricating oil pipeline on it needs to be removed to prevent lubricating oil leakage caused by pipeline breakage. However, since the rotary blowout preventer is located at the highest position of the wellhead, the disassembly and assembly operations are very inconvenient, the disassembly and assembly efficiency is low, and the safety is poor, which is likely to cause too long a drilling stop time, thus triggering other drilling accidents.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a rotary blowout preventer with simple operation and easy disassembly and assembly is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0079] To further optimize the above technical solution, the wedge block pushing assembly includes:

[0080] An inner piston 415, the inner piston 415 includes a sealing section 4151 and an installation section 4152 with an outer diameter smaller than that of the sealing section 4151. The installation section 4152 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 413 along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 413. The sealing section 4151 is integrally connected to the side of the installation section 4152 close to the first oil holes 41311, and a plurality of plunger installation holes 41511 arranged along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 413 are circumferentially spaced on the outer peripheral side of the installation section 4152 corresponding to the sealing section 4151. Among them, both the sealing section 4151 and the installation section 4152 are sleeve-shaped structures and can be slidably sleeved on the second shaft 4122 to improve the stability of the inner piston 415 during the sliding process.

[0081] The wedge sleeve 416 is slidably sleeved on the outer sidewall of the installation section 4152 along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 413. A plurality of oil passing holes 4161 arranged along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 413 are circumferentially spaced on the wedge sleeve 416, and a wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162 with a gradually increasing diameter towards the first oil hole 41311 is provided on its outer sidewall. A second inclined sliding surface 4142 slidably engaged with the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162 is provided on the side of the wedge block 414 close to the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 413.

[0082] A plurality of plungers 417 are slidably installed in the plunger installation holes 41511 along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 413, corresponding to the plurality of plunger installation holes 41511 one by one, and one end of each plunger 417 away from the first oil hole 41311 can abut against the end of the wedge sleeve 416 close to the first oil hole 41311.

[0083] To further optimize the above technical solution, a limit retaining ring 4153 is fixed on the outer sidewall of the installation section 4152 close to one end of the second oil hole 41321. An annular limit notch penetrating through its inner sidewall is formed on the end surface of the wedge sleeve 416 close to one end of the second oil hole 41321. The limit retaining ring 4153 can be clamped in the limit notch to limit the wedge sleeve 416, so that the wedge sleeve 416 can slide together with the inner piston.

[0084] To further optimize the above technical solution, the inclination angle of the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162 is preferably 10°. Self-locking among the wedge block 414, the wedge sleeve 416 and the cylinder barrel 411 is achieved.

[0085] To further optimize the above technical solution, as Figures 12-14 shown, a plurality of elongated sliding grooves 41621 arranged along the axial direction of the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162 are formed on the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162, and a plurality of sliding strips 41421 slidably engaged with the elongated sliding grooves 41621 are formed on the second inclined sliding surface 4142. It is ensured that the wedge block 414 can only slide along the axial direction of the cylinder barrel 411. At the same time, the toothed sliding fit structure formed by the plurality of sliding strips 41421 and the plurality of elongated sliding grooves 41621 increases the contact area between the wedge sleeve 416 and the wedge block 414 and increases the friction force, so as to achieve self-locking at a larger inclination angle, shorten the stroke and make the structure more compact.

[0086] Working principle:

[0087] Before the equipment works, it needs to be installed at the wellhead. During installation, except for the rotating assembly 2, other components are installed on the wellhead drilling equipment as a whole. After the equipment is in place, the oil pipeline of the oil cylinder 41 and the oil distribution assembly 3 is installed well. The state of the rotating assembly 2 during the lowering of the drill tool to be installed in place is as Figure 2As shown, at this time, the piston rod 412 of the oil cylinder 41 is in the extended state, which drives the clamp assembly 4 to be in the open state. When the rotating assembly 2 continues to fall, its front end will pass through the oil distribution assembly 3 and the clamp assembly 4 and abut against the housing 1;

[0088] After the rotating assembly 2 falls in place, operate the hydraulic equipment to retract the piston rod 412 of the oil cylinder 41, driving the clamp assembly 4 to close to clamp the rotating assembly 2. At this time, the positions of all components are as Figure 1 shown;

[0089] After the rotating assembly 2 is installed in place, the oil circuit inside it is automatically connected through the oil distribution ring 31, and there is no need for manual connection. The oil circuit direction is as follows: The oil in the inlet pipe enters through the oil inlet hole 311, enters the oil inlet ring groove 211 through the oil inlet hole 311, then enters the sealing cavity through the oil inlet 214, flows upward from the bottom of the rotating control assembly through all bearings 25, cools and lubricates the bearings 25, and then enters the oil return ring groove 212 through the oil return port 213, and then flows to the oil return pipe through the oil return hole 312.

[0090] When it is necessary to lift the rotating assembly 2 for replacing vulnerable parts, the oil circuit will be interrupted. To reduce environmental pollution and waste of resources, after the machine is stopped, first use the method of blowing and squeezing with compressed air to drain the oil stored in the inner cavity of the rotating assembly 2 into the fuel tank, and then perform the operations of opening the clamp assembly 4 and lifting the rotating assembly 2.

[0091] After the oil cylinder 41 retracts the piston rod 412 to close the clamp assembly 4, it can automatically achieve mechanical locking at this position. At this time, even if the hydraulic pressure disappears, the piston rod 412 will not become loose. It is necessary to operate the reverse oil pressure to unlock the internal mechanism before the piston rod 412 can extend, so that this mechanism no longer requires manual locking, realizing the function of no need to disassemble and assemble at the wellhead;

[0092] Figure 6 、 Figure 7It is a sectional view when the piston rod of the oil cylinder 41 is in the automatically locked state after retraction. The working principle is as follows: The pressure oil enters the rod chamber through the first oil port 41121. The piston rod 412 retracts, driving the clamp assembly 4 to close. The pressure oil in the rod chamber enters the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 413 through the first oil hole 41311 on the outer sleeve 413, acting on the end face of the sealing section 4151 of the inner piston 415, and pushing the inner piston 415 to move left until the end face of the installation section 4152 of the inner piston 415 abuts against the inner end wall of the outer sleeve 413. During the leftward movement of the inner piston 415, the end face of the wedge sleeve 416 abuts against the side of the sealing section 4151 away from the rod chamber, and the pressure oil does not contact the wedge sleeve 416, so that there is no relative movement between the wedge sleeve 416 and the inner piston 415. When the inner piston 415 moves to the left end and abuts against the end wall of the cylinder barrel 411, the pressure oil cannot continue to push the inner piston 415 to move left. At this time, the pressure oil acts on the plunger 417, pushing the plunger 417 to move left. The leftward movement of the plunger 417 pushes the wedge sleeve 416 to move left. Since the wedge block 414 is movably installed in the sliding port and is restricted by the sliding port to move only radially, when the wedge sleeve 416 moves left, under the cooperation of the second inclined sliding surface 4142 and the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162, it will cause the wedge block 414 to expand radially outward until the first inclined sliding surface 4141 of the wedge block 414 abuts against the cylinder barrel inclined sliding surface 41111. Since the second inclined surface and the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162 are self-locking inclined angles, at this time, the wedge block 414, the cylinder barrel inclined sliding surface 41111 and the wedge sleeve inclined surface 4162 form a self-locking inclined surface mechanism. At this time, even if the hydraulic pressure disappears, the reaction force from the piston rod 412 to the right acts on the outer sleeve 413. Due to the self-locking state of the mechanism, the outer sleeve 413 will not move right, so the piston rod 412 will not move right, and the clamp assembly hinged to the piston rod 412 will not loosen. The piston rod 412 is in a mechanically locked state at this position.

[0093] When it is necessary to open the clamp assembly, it is necessary to operate the reversing valve to reverse the oil path of the oil cylinder 41. At this time, the pressure oil enters the rodless chamber of the cylinder barrel 411 through the second oil port 41131, and the oil in the rod chamber returns to the fuel tank through the second oil port 41131. As Figure 8 、 Figure 9, The pressurized oil enters the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 413 through the second oil hole 41321 and acts on the inner piston 415 to move the inner piston 415 to the right. Since the limit retaining ring 4153 on the inner piston 415 is clamped with the annular limit notch on the wedge sleeve 416, when the inner piston 415 continues to move to the right, it will pull the wedge sleeve 416 to move to the right together until the sealing section 4151 abuts against the inner end face of the outer sleeve 413. At this time, the wedge block 414 is no longer under the expansion action of the wedge sleeve 416 and can retract into the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 413 along the sliding opening. As shown in the figure, the piston assembly completes the unlocking of the mechanism. Under the action of the oil pressure, the piston assembly continues to move to the right until the piston rod 412 completely extends, and the clamp assembly hinged to the piston rod 412 is also completely opened. When the piston rod 412 completely extends, the state of its internal components is as Figure 10 , Figure 11 shown;

[0094] When the reversing valve is operated again to reverse the oil circuit and perform the operation of closing the clamp assembly, the state of the internal components of the piston assembly is as Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown. The pressurized oil enters the rod chamber through the first oil port 41121, pushing the piston assembly to complete self-locking, retracting the piston rod 412 and achieving mechanical locking.

[0095] During the mechanical locking process, the driving force for the movement of the wedge sleeve 416 comes from the driving force of the plunger 417. Since the diameter of the plunger 417 is small, the locking force generated by it is small, and the small force can reduce the wear of the components during movement; when the mechanism is unlocked, the driving force for the movement of the wedge sleeve 416 comes from the driving force of the inner piston 415. Compared with when the pressurized oil acts on the end face of the plunger 417, when the pressurized oil acts on the end face of the inner piston 415, its acting area is larger and the unlocking force provided is also larger, thus avoiding unlocking failure and improving the reliability of the mechanism.

[0096] After the rotating blowout preventer of the present invention is installed in place, during the entire working period, when it is necessary to lift the rotating assembly 2 to replace the vulnerable parts and lower the rotating assembly 2 for installation, the oil distribution assembly 3 can realize the automatic connection of the hydraulic circuit, and the clamp assembly 4 can also be automatically unlocked and locked through the oil cylinder 41, eliminating the need for manual high-altitude disassembly and assembly operations at the wellhead, achieving manual-free disassembly and assembly, and greatly improving the production efficiency and work safety.
