Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of detection of the power head of a rotary drilling rig, and particularly relates to a rotary drilling rig, a power head position detection device and a position detection method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the construction operation of a rotary drilling rig, finding the pressurizing platform is not only a key step in construction but also a major technical challenge faced by technicians. The traditional operation method mainly relies on the personal experience of the operator for judgment. This highly manual-experience-dependent approach often has great uncertainty and is extremely likely to lead to operation errors and safety accidents. To solve this problem, modern rotary drilling rig technology has introduced an auxiliary operating system, the goal of which is to achieve the visualization of the pressurizing platform through technical means, thereby providing a more intuitive and accurate reference for the operator. The core of this system lies in being able to collect the position parameters of the power head in real time and accurately. Among them, the cylinder stroke, as a key indicator, plays a crucial role in judging the position of the pressurizing platform.
[0003] In the prior art, there are three methods for realizing the position detection of the power head, namely the method of driving a rotary encoder by a sprocket chain, the method of a wire rope sensor, and the method of pasting labels on the mast and cooperating with a reader and a data processing module. However, for the method of driving a rotary encoder by a sprocket chain, although it can achieve position detection to a certain extent, its structure is relatively complex, increasing the manufacturing cost of the equipment. More importantly, in the harsh working environment of a rotary drilling rig, the long chain is prone to shaking. This shaking may not only damage the rotary encoder but also affect the measurement accuracy. In addition, the chain tension is also a difficult problem to solve. Too loose or too tight may have an adverse impact on the measurement results.
[0004] The method of the wire rope sensor has the problem of poor reliability. Since the working environment of a rotary drilling rig is usually very harsh, including a large amount of pollutants such as oil stains and mud, these pollutants are very likely to damage the wire rope, resulting in its breakage or failure. Once the wire rope sensor fails, it will directly affect the visualization effect of the pressurizing platform, thereby having an adverse impact on the construction operation. Another method of pasting labels on the mast and cooperating with a reader and a data processing module, although it avoids the complexity of the mechanical structure to a certain extent, has high environmental requirements. The mast is often attached with pollutants such as oil stains and mud, which are very likely to block or contaminate the labels, thereby affecting the recognition ability of the reader. Once the recognition ability decreases, it will directly affect the accuracy and reliability of the position detection. In summary, there is an urgent need for a rotary drilling rig, a power head position detection device and a position detection method thereof. Summary of the Invention
