Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of well repair automatic hydraulic tong control system. More particularly, the present application relates to a telescopic automatic hydraulic tong control system and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The pipe / tubing make-break tool is a special tool for releasing the connection of the drill pipe. It is widely used in the fields of drilling and geological exploration. With the progress of technology and changes in demand, the drill pipe make-break tool has undergone great development and improvement. The traditional drill pipe connection make-break tool is mainly manually operated, and the operator needs to use a manual tool (such as a pipe wrench) to make up and break off the drill pipe. This way is relatively low in efficiency, has human operation errors, and cannot guarantee safety.

[0003] In order to improve the operation efficiency and reduce the complexity of manual operation, the traditional hydraulic tong is born. Although this tong solves the problem of high physical labor intensity of the operator, the tong must be suspended by a wire rope, the height is adjusted by a hydraulic winch, and the personnel operation must be on the side of the tong, so the safety problem is still not solved. In addition, the overhaul often uses a mouse hole for single pipe connection operation, and the pipe column in the mouse hole is inclined at a certain angle to the wellhead. The traditional hydraulic tong or iron driller cannot realize the inclination, so it cannot meet the requirements of the mouse hole operation. For the hydraulic tong or iron driller, the make-break must correspond to the wellhead pipe clamp, but in fact the stopping position of the pipe column at the wellhead cannot be well determined within the appropriate range, so the traveling block must be operated to adjust to adapt to the hydraulic tong or iron driller with fixed position, or the height of the hydraulic tong or iron driller is manually adjusted to adapt to the pipe clamp at the wellhead. Both methods are undoubtedly very low in efficiency, and the cost of the iron driller is relatively high. Therefore, there is still an urgent need to develop a high-performance make-break automatic tool. SUMMARY
