Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
[0036] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the present embodiment provides a casing head with a pressure relief structure, including an upper protective shell 1, the bottom of the upper protective shell 1 is fixedly connected to a lower protective shell 11, a pressure relief assembly 2 for casing head pressure relief is arranged on the inner side of the upper protective shell 1, a sliding assembly 24 for following the drill pipe pressure relief is arranged in the pressure relief assembly 2, a cleaning plate 16 for cleaning the inner side of the upper protective shell 1 is arranged, and a pressure relief column 17 for gas flow in the drill pipe is arranged on the outer side of the cleaning plate 16, wherein: through the operation of the drill pipe and the drill bit, the pressure relief during the operation of the drill pipe is completed by using the pressure relief assembly 2 and the sliding assembly 24, and the cleaning of the inner side of the mud, sand and dust is completed by using the cleaning plate 16 and the pressure relief column 17.
[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, the upper protective shell 1 and the lower protective shell 11 are connected by bolts, the outer wall of the lower protective shell 11 is fixedly connected with a fixing ring 12, the upper inner wall of the upper end of the upper protective shell 1 is fixedly connected with an upper sealing cover 13, and the lower inner wall of the lower end of the lower protective shell 11 is fixedly connected with a lower sealing cover 14. The upper and lower protective shells 1 and 11 are rotatably connected with a pressure relief column 17 on the inner side, and an air outlet hole 171 is provided on the outer wall of the pressure relief column 17. The inner side of the pressure relief column 17 is fixedly connected with an inner ratchet gear ring 15, and the inner side of the inner ratchet gear ring 15 is slidably connected with a cleaning plate 16, and the inner side of the cleaning plate 16 is fixedly connected with a cleaning bar 161, which is cylindrical and has a certain gap with the cleaning plate 16. When the mud and sand pass through the gap between the cleaning bar 161 and the cleaning plate 16, the cleaning plate 16 is used to slide back and forth so that the mud and sand inside the second chamber are always stirred, so that the mud and sand are always in a flowing state.
[0038] Wherein: the cleaning plate 16 is slidably connected to the top of the lower sealing cover 14, and the cleaning plate 16 has an elastic telescopic rod on the inner side of the lower sealing cover 14 to always pull the cleaning plate 16 outward, so that the cleaning plate 16 always slides on the inner ratchet gear groove position of the inner ratchet gear ring 15, and the cleaning plate 16 can be slid on the inner ratchet gear groove during the rotation of the inner ratchet gear ring 15.
[0039] like Figure 3-Figure 4 and Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the pressure relief component 2 includes a lower pressure column 21 and a sliding component 24. The top of the lower pressure column 21 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 22. A snap-fitting piece 221 is arranged on the outer side of the sealing ring 22. The snap-fitting piece 221 is snap-fitted with the upper sealing cover 13. The upper sealing cover 13 is a detachable component. After long-term use, when the mud, sand and gravel in the first chamber and the second chamber need to be cleaned later, the upper sealing cover 13 can be removed. A partition plate 23 is arranged on the outer side of the pressure relief component 2. The sliding component 24 includes a connecting column 241. When the drill bit is drilling, it drives the connecting column 241. When 241 slides up and down, the connecting column 241 sliding downward will squeeze the sliding column 25, and at the same time, the No. 1 sliding piece 242 and the No. 2 sliding piece 243 will shrink inward, so that the space for the mud and sand to flow in the first chamber becomes larger. On the contrary, when the drill rod is recovered, the No. 1 sliding piece 242 and the No. 2 sliding piece 243 will be at the widest position of the outer wall of the hexagonal piece 2411, and multiple No. 1 sliding pieces 242 and No. 2 sliding pieces 243 will form a complete cylinder, so that the space in the first chamber becomes smaller, so as to prevent the internal pressure from being too high during the recovery of the drill rod, causing the internal mud and sand to splash;
[0040] The top of the connecting column 241 is fixedly connected with a hexagonal piece 2411, and each surface of the hexagonal piece 2411 is provided with a strip groove 2412. A No. 1 sliding piece 242 and a No. 2 sliding piece 243 are arranged on the outside of the hexagonal piece 2411. The inside of the No. 1 sliding piece 242 and the No. 2 sliding piece 243 is fixedly connected with a No. 1 sliding bar 2421 and a No. 2 sliding bar 2431. The No. 1 sliding bar 2421 and the No. 2 sliding bar 2431 are slidably connected to the multiple strip grooves 2412. The multiple No. 1 sliding pieces 242 and the multiple No. 2 sliding pieces 243 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the No. 1 sliding piece 242 and the No. 2 sliding piece 243. The No. 1 sliding piece 243 is combined into a cylindrical shape, a stepped groove 2413 is provided on the inner side of the hexagonal piece 2411, a spring 251 is provided at the bottom of the stepped groove 2413, a sliding column 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 251, the sliding column 25 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting column 241, the top of the No. 1 sliding bar 2421 and the No. 2 sliding bar 2431 are slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting column 241, and the outer walls of the No. 1 sliding bar 2421 and the No. 2 sliding bar 2431 are in contact with the inner wall of the partition 23 in the unfolded state.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, a first chamber is formed between the sliding assembly 24 and the partition 23, and a second chamber is formed between the partition 23 and the pressure relief column 17. The first chamber and the second chamber are interconnected through the position between the top of the partition 23 and the upper sealing cover 13. The sliding column 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower sealing cover 14. The mud and sand will flow upward from the borehole to the position between the connection 241 and the sliding column 25, and flow to the first chamber, and make the internal gas flow to the second chamber, and finally be discharged from the outlet 171.
[0042] From this we can see that Figure 2-Figure 8 As shown, when the staff fixes the fixing ring 12 of the lower protective shell 11 on the ground at the position where the hole needs to be drilled, and the drill rod rotates and moves downward, the drill rod will drive the connecting column 241 to slide downward through a certain friction force. At this time, when the connecting column 241 moves downward, the No. 1 sliding member 242 and the No. 2 sliding member 243 will shrink inward and gradually move away from the hexagonal member 2411 and compress the spring 251, which increases the distance between the No. 1 sliding member 242 and the No. 2 sliding member 243 and the partition 23. In the process of drilling the drill rod downward, the staff can open the air outlet 171 to release the pressure by rotating the wheels on both sides of the casing head;
[0043] At the same time, under the electric drive, the roller disk inside the pressure relief column 17 drives the inner ratchet gear ring 15 to rotate on the inner side of the lower pressure column 21, and under the rotation of the inner ratchet gear ring 15, the cleaning strip 161 slides in the ratchet gear groove on the inner side of the inner ratchet gear ring 15. When the cleaning strip 161 gradually slides from a smaller width position to a larger width position on the inner ratchet gear ring 15, it will drive the cleaning strip 161 to gradually approach the partition 23. At the same time, when the cleaning strip 161 slides to the critical position of the widest position of the inner ratchet gear ring 15, it will slide to the minimum width position, so that the cleaning strip 161 returns to its original position again. This makes multiple cleaning strips 161 continuously slide between the pressure relief column 17 and the partition 23, so that the internal mud and sand continue to flow, so as to prevent mud and sand from clogging and causing the situation that the pressure cannot be relieved.
[0044] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
