AI Technical Summary
Due to the simple internal structure of the existing self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor, it is unable to effectively release the gas and bubbles in the original volume, resulting in poor separation efficiency between bubbles and liquids, which can easily cause "cavitation" damage to the drilling pump, and the risk of well surges and blowout accidents.
By designing three sets of brackets distributed in sequence in the separation tank, a first-stage diversion umbrella, a first-stage diversion ring and a second-stage diversion ring are installed, the drilling fluid is impacted multiple times, forming a multi-layer columnar liquid curtain, breaking the original volume state, and reconstructing the liquid curtain to form a new free interface, effectively releasing the gas and bubbles in the original volume.
Theoretically, the separation effect is at least 5 times higher than that of existing equipment. At the same time, through real-time monitoring of liquid level sensors and liquid level displays, we can prevent environmental pollution caused by "stopping and tanking", reduce production costs, and reduce the risk of silt caused by solid particles accumulation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drilling equipment, in particular to a self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor. Background Art
[0002] The existing self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor is a special equipment for primary degassing, which is specially used to process the gas-containing drilling fluid replaced at the throttling manifold, fully separate the free gas and large bubbles with a diameter of about φ3 to φ25 mm, discharge the gas, and recover the preliminarily purified drilling fluid. When the drilling fluid processor is in use, due to its simple internal structure, the gas and bubbles in the original volume cannot be released, so the bubble and liquid separation efficiency is not good, which easily causes the drilling pump to have "cavitation" damage to the cylinder liner due to the gas in the drilling fluid, increasing the probability of well kick and even blowout accidents. Therefore, a self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] As an optional solution of the self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor described in the present invention, a self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor includes a separation tank,
[0006] The separation tank is provided with three groups of brackets which are arranged in sequence up and down, and the brackets arranged up and down are provided with a primary diverter umbrella, a primary diverter ring and a secondary diverter ring in sequence;
[0007] A liquid inlet pipe is also installed on one side of the separation tank, and one end of the liquid inlet pipe is inserted into the separation tank. The first-level diverter umbrella forms a first-level liquid curtain through the dripping of the liquid discharged from the liquid inlet pipe and drips to the first-level diverter ring, and forms a second-level liquid curtain through the first-level diverter ring. The second-level liquid curtain forms a third-level liquid curtain by dripping on the second-level diverter ring installed above the bracket;
[0008] A sewage discharge joint for sewage discharge is installed at the bottom of the separation tank, and a liquid discharge joint for liquid discharge is also installed at the lower outer side of the separation tank;
[0009] An L-shaped exhaust pipe is installed on the top of the separation tank, and a pressure gauge and a liquid level sensor installed on the top of the separation tank are respectively installed on both sides of the exhaust pipe, and a liquid level display for displaying the liquid level inside the separation tank is also installed on the side of the separation tank.
[0010] The existing self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor is a special equipment for primary degassing, which is specially used to process the gas-containing drilling fluid replaced at the throttling manifold, fully separate the free gas and large bubbles with a diameter of about φ3 to φ25mm, discharge the gas, and recover the initially purified drilling fluid. When the drilling fluid processor is in use, due to its simple internal structure, the gas and bubbles in the original volume cannot be released, so the bubble and liquid separation efficiency is poor, which easily causes the drilling pump to have "cavitation" due to the gas in the drilling fluid, damages the cylinder liner, increases the probability of well kick, and even blowout accidents. However, this equipment, through the special structural design inside the separation tank, makes the incoming liquid produce 5 times The collision forms 8 layers of columnar liquid curtains. Each collision will break the original volume state, rebuild the liquid curtain to form a new free interface, and effectively release the gas and bubbles in the original volume. Theoretically, the separation effect is at least 5 times higher than that of existing equipment. At the same time, the liquid level sensor and liquid level display can be set to realize real-time monitoring of the liquid level in the separation tank. The low-level display is convenient for operators to detect abnormal liquid levels in time, effectively prevent environmental pollution caused by "holding and bubbling tanks", and also reduce production costs. The separation tank is connected to the drain joint and the sewage joint with a bell-mouth connection, which can effectively reduce the probability of blockage caused by the accumulation of solid particles and reduce the flow resistance of liquid outflow.
[0011] As an optional solution of the self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor described in the present invention, the liquid inlet pipe is arranged in an L shape, and a liquid inlet pressure gauge is installed on the outer side of the liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet pipe.
[0012] A liquid inlet pressure gauge is installed on the outside of the liquid inlet pipe. The liquid inlet pressure gauge can detect the hydraulic pressure inside the liquid inlet pipe, which helps to understand the amount of liquid entering the separation tank.
[0013] As an optional solution of the self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor described in the present invention, the first-stage diverter umbrella is arranged in a central protrusion, and the discharge end of the liquid inlet pipe is located directly above the first-stage diverter umbrella.
[0014] As an optional solution of the self-washing high-efficiency drilling fluid processor described in the present invention, the number of the primary diverter ring and the secondary diverter ring are both two, and the primary diverter ring and the secondary diverter ring are symmetrically arranged.
[0015] This setting can ensure that the drilling fluid enters the first-level diverter umbrella through the liquid inlet pipe, and forms the first-level liquid curtain on both sides through the first-level diverter umbrella, and then drips through the first-level diverter ring and the second-level diverter ring to form the second-level liquid curtain and the third-level liquid curtain, thereby forming multiple groups of liquid impacts, which can effectively release the gas and bubbles in the original liquid volume.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The present invention and the device, through the special structural design inside the separation tank, make the incoming liquid produce multiple collisions to form a multi-layer columnar liquid curtain. Each collision will break the original volume state, rebuild the liquid curtain to form a new free interface, and effectively release the gas and bubbles in the original volume. In theory, the separation effect is at least several times higher than that of the existing equipment.
[0018] At the same time, the liquid level sensor and liquid level display can realize real-time monitoring of the liquid level in the separation tank, and low-level display can be used to facilitate operators to find abnormal liquid levels in time, effectively prevent environmental pollution caused by "holding and overflowing tanks", and also reduce production costs;
[0019] The separation tank is connected to the liquid discharge joint and the sewage discharge joint in a bell-mouth manner, which can effectively reduce the probability of blockage caused by the accumulation of solid particles and reduce the flow resistance of the liquid outflow.
