Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling equipment manufacturing, and relates to a combined tool for realizing the interchange of multiple connectors of an oil drilling rig skid. The present invention also relates to a method for combining ears and seats using the tool. Background Art
[0002] To enable rapid movement of oil drilling rigs, existing designs utilize a skid-mounted transport method. This involves integrating various functional equipment onto a skid to form a separate, trailer-powered transport module. This skid is typically wheeled, with connectors at each end of the skid connected to goosenecks for transport. A drilling rig typically includes various skid-mounted modules, including a mud skid transport module, an electronically controlled skid transport module, and a manifold skid transport module. The goosenecks and trailers are universal, typically consisting of four goosenecks per set, with five rigs sharing one. The trailer is allocated based on actual transport needs.
[0003] Various skid transport modules are important components of the drilling process, with functions such as mud circulation and wellhead control. When working, the skid transport modules need to be connected horizontally to form an integral module. When transporting over short distances, only the peripheral connectors of the integral module need to be removed and the entire module can be transported as a whole. When transporting over long distances, in order to obtain good passability and fast moving speed, it is generally transported as a single skid transport module, or it can be transported as a whole when the passability area is good (such as Figure 1-4 shown).
[0004] The skid body is a large welded structure. The length, width and height dimensions of a single skid are generally 20,000mm × 2,650mm × 2,000mm. Due to the requirements of the transport direction, connectors are provided at both the front and rear ends of the skid body (the front and rear ends are the same), and they must be smoothly connected to the gooseneck connectors in the wheeled transport system. Since the gooseneck is a universal device, each gooseneck can not only be connected to each independent skid transport module, but also to the connectors at different parts of the skid transport module after it is connected to form an integral module (such as Figures 1 to 4As shown), the connectors at various locations on the skid structure need to have a high degree of interchangeability, and the connectors of each gooseneck also need to maintain a high degree of consistency. The two ears (i.e., connectors, the same below) at the end of the skid form a unit, and the shape and position tolerances between the ears in the same unit are crucial. Among them, the spacing between the ears in the same unit, the parallelism between the ears, the symmetry between the ears and the center of the frame in the same group, and other factors will affect the smooth installation of the skid and the connecting parts; and, after the multiple skids are assembled, the size will be larger, and the ear seat holes for the connectors cannot be processed as a whole. If the ear seat holes for the connectors of a single skid are processed as a whole, due to the large size of the skid, super-large special processing equipment is required, which is difficult and costly. Moreover, when multiple skids are connected to each other, it is not necessarily guaranteed that the ears on different skids can be smoothly connected to the gooseneck. Therefore, it is urgent to design a new process method to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the Invention
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a combination tooling for realizing the interchange of multiple connectors of an oil drilling rig skid. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for combining ears and seats using the above-mentioned tooling. The combination tooling and method solve the problems in the prior art of low assembly precision of ears and seats at the end of the skid and low interchangeability of the skid.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is to realize the combined tooling of the oil drilling rig skid with multiple connector interchangeable, including a rectangular frame-type frame, one side of the frame is provided with four single-ear plates, and the opposite side is provided with four groups of double-ear plates, the double-ear plates are composed of two symmetrically arranged single-ear plates, bottom plates are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the frame, and lifting pipes are provided on both sides of the upper end.
[0007] The present invention is also characterized in that:
[0008] The four single-ear plates are arranged symmetrically with the center line A of the tooling frame as the reference.
[0009] The four sets of double-ear plates are arranged symmetrically with the center line A of the tooling frame as the reference.
[0010] The hole diameters of the pin holes of the single-ear plate and double-ear plate are consistent with the hole diameters of the pin holes of the skid ear seat, gooseneck upper ear plate, and gooseneck lower ear plate.
[0011] The hole spacing between the two single-ear plates on the same side and the hole spacing between the two sets of double-ear plates on the same side are consistent with the hole spacing of the skid lugs.
[0012] The thickness of the single ear plate is consistent with that of the gooseneck upper ear plate and the gooseneck lower ear plate; the inner opening size of the double ear plate is consistent with the inner opening size of the skid ear seat.
[0013] Another technical solution adopted by the present invention is a combination method for achieving interchangeable multiple connectors on an oil drilling rig skid, using the above-mentioned combination tooling as a template to assemble the skid end lugs and gooseneck lugs, and performing post-welding inspection, including: connecting two single lugs on the same side of the combination tooling to two pre-machined lugs, respectively, and then combining the entire assembly with skid I. Welding is performed in this combined state, and then combining the lugs of the adjacent skid II using the welded lugs, completing the combination of all skid lugs according to this method; and assembling two sets of double lugs on the same side of the combination tooling to the upper and lower lugs of the gooseneck, respectively, and then combining the entire assembly with the gooseneck frame, and welding is performed in this combined state, thus completing the combination of the gooseneck lugs.
[0014] Another technical solution of the present invention is also characterized in that:
[0015] The skid end lugs are assembled according to the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Make each skid frame and end connecting lugs, leaving margins at both ends of the skid frame in the length direction, and process the pin holes of the lugs;
[0017] Step 2: Place the skids in parallel on a rigid platform, assemble them into a whole with connecting frames, and then draw the cutting line of the entire skid to remove the excess length of each skid;
[0018] Step 3: Use pins to assemble the two ear mounts to the two single ear plates on the same side of the tooling. Add process gaskets to the gaps between the single ear plates and the ear mounts to keep the gaps between 0.5mm and 1mm. Then, assemble the entire tooling with skid I so that the centerline A of the tooling coincides with the centerline B of the skid I, and the ear mounts are in contact with the end faces of skid I.
[0019] Step 4: In the assembled state of step 3, weld the connecting weld between the ear seat and the skid 1. After welding, remove the tooling, and the assembly of the ear seat and the skid 1 is completed.
[0020] Step 5: Use a pin to assemble an ear seat to the single ear plate of the tooling. Add process gaskets on both sides of the single ear plate and the ear seat to control the gap between 0.5mm and 1mm. Then assemble the whole with the adjacent skid II. Use a pin to connect the other single ear plate of the tooling to the ear seat welded at the end of skid I, taking into account that the center line A of the tooling frame coincides with the center line C of the connecting frame, and the ear seat is in contact with the end face of skid II.
[0021] Step 6: In the assembled state of step 5, weld the connecting weld between the ear seat and the skid II. After welding, remove the tooling to complete the assembly of the ear seat on the skid II side.
[0022] Step 7: According to the methods of steps 5 and 6, assemble and weld the remaining adjacent skid lugs in sequence;
[0023] Step 8: Use the single ear plate of the tooling to install and test the ear seat of each skid in turn. If it can be installed smoothly, the skid assembly welding is qualified.
[0024] The gooseneck ear plate is assembled according to the following steps:
[0025] Use pins to assemble the upper ear plate and the lower ear plate to the two sets of double ear plates on the same side of the tooling. Add process gaskets in the gaps between the upper ear plate, the lower ear plate and the double ear plates, and combine the whole with the gooseneck frame so that the center line A of the tooling frame coincides with the center line D of the gooseneck frame, and the end faces of the upper ear plate, the lower ear plate and the gooseneck frame fit together. Then, in this combined state, weld the connecting welds between the upper ear plate, the lower ear plate and the gooseneck frame, and remove the tooling after welding. Use the double ear plates of the tooling to install and inspect the upper ear plate and lower ear plate of each gooseneck. If they can be installed smoothly, the gooseneck assembly welding is qualified.
[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0027] The method of the present invention marks and cuts the entire skid, so that the ear seat and the frame fit tightly and the welding deformation is smaller; the dedicated combined tooling processed as a whole is used as a template to assemble or test the end ear seats of the skid and the gooseneck, thereby realizing the multi-connector assembly of oversized structural parts or assembly parts, realizing the interchangeability and testing of multiple connectors of the skid, improving the ear seat assembly accuracy, reducing the manufacturing difficulty, and improving the connection interchangeability between the skid connectors.

[0047] The present invention realizes the combined tooling for interchange of multiple connectors of oil drilling rig skid, which is a unified template for the combination or detection process of lugs in various parts. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it includes a rectangular frame-type frame 1, and four single-ear plates 3 are provided on one side of the frame 1, and the four single-ear plates 3 are symmetrically arranged with the center line A of the tooling frame as the reference; its opposite side is provided with four groups of double-ear plates 4, and the double-ear plates 4 are composed of two symmetrically arranged single-ear plates, and the four groups of double-ear plates 4 are symmetrically arranged with the center line A of the tooling frame as the reference; the aperture size of the pin holes of the single-ear plates 3 and the double-ear plates 4 is consistent with the aperture size of the pin holes of the skid ear seat 7, the gooseneck upper ear plate 10, and the gooseneck lower ear plate 11; the hole spacing size between the two single-ear plates 3 on the same side and the hole spacing size between the two groups of double-ear plates 4 on the same side are consistent with the hole spacing size of the ear seat 7; the thickness m of each single-ear plate 3 is consistent with the thickness of the upper ear plate 10 and the lower ear plate 11; the inner opening size n of each group of double-ear plates 4 is consistent with the inner opening size of the ear seat 7.
[0048] Bottom plates 2 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, and hanging pipes 5 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the frame 1.
[0049] After the combined tooling is assembled and welded, the thickness of the bottom plate 2 is processed as a whole. Then, based on the processed bottom surface of the bottom plate 2, the pin hole of the single ear plate 3 and its two outer side thickness dimensions, and the pin hole of the double ear plate 4 and its inner side opening dimensions are processed, so that the hole diameter, hole spacing, opening dimensions, etc. of the single ear plate 3 and the double ear plate 4 meet the requirements, and the single ear plate 3 and the double ear plate 4 are both perpendicular to the bottom surface.
[0050] The present invention realizes an assembly method for interchangeable multiple connectors of a petroleum drilling rig skid. The assembly tool described above is used as a template to assemble the skid end lugs and gooseneck lugs, and then conducts post-weld inspection. The assembly steps of the skid lugs 7 are as follows:
[0051] Step 1: Use existing conventional methods to make each skid frame and end connecting ear seat 7 (structure as shown in the figure) Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown), allowances are left at both ends of the skid frame in the length direction, and the pin holes of the ear seats 7 are processed;
[0052] Step 2: Place the skids in parallel on a rigid platform, assemble the connecting frames 12 between them to connect them into a whole, and then draw a cutting line on the entire skid to remove the excess length of each skid;
[0053] Step 3: Figure 9 As shown, two ear seats 7 are assembled to two single ear plates 3 on the same side of the tooling using pins. Process gaskets are added to the gaps on both sides of the single ear plates 3 and the ear seats 7 to control the gaps between them to be between 0.5mm and 1mm. The whole is then assembled with the skid Ⅰ 6 so that the center line A of the tooling frame coincides with the center line B of the skid Ⅰ 6, and the ear seats 7 are in contact with the end faces of the skid Ⅰ 6.
[0054] Step 4: In the assembled state of step 3, weld the connecting welds between the ear seat 7 and the skid Ⅰ 6 (except the bottom weld which cannot be welded). After welding, remove the tooling, and the assembly of the ear seat 7 and the skid Ⅰ 6 is completed.
[0055] Step 5: Figure 10 As shown, a lug seat 7 is assembled to the single lug plate 3 of the tooling with a pin, and process gaskets are added to the gaps on both sides of the single lug plate 3 and the lug seat 7 to control the gap between 0.5mm and 1mm. Then the whole is assembled with the adjacent skid II 8, and the other single lug plate 3 of the tooling is connected to the lug seat 7 welded to the end of the skid I 6 with a pin, taking into account that the center line A of the tooling frame coincides with the center line C of the connecting frame 12, and the lug seat 7 is in contact with the end surface of the skid II 8.
[0056] Step 6: In the assembled state of step 5, weld the connecting welds between the ear seat 7 and the skid II 8 (except the bottom weld which cannot be welded). After welding, remove the tooling to complete the assembly of the ear seat on one side of the skid II 8.
[0057] Step 7: According to the methods of steps 5 and 6, the remaining adjacent skid lugs 7 are assembled and welded in sequence.
[0058] Step 8: Use the single ear plate 3 of the tooling to perform installation inspection on the ear seat 7 of each skid in turn. If the installation is successful, the skid assembly welding is qualified.
[0059] In steps 3 and 5, the theoretical gap between the single ear plate 3 and the ear seat 7 on both sides is 5 mm. After adding the process gasket, the gap is controlled between 0.5 mm and 1 mm. The purpose is: considering the welding deformation when the ear seat 7 is welded to the skid frame, strict control is implemented during the early assembly to reduce manufacturing errors and improve assembly accuracy.
[0060] like Figure 11 As shown, the gooseneck includes a gooseneck frame 9 and an upper ear plate 10 and a lower ear plate 11. The method of assembling the connecting ear plates at the end of the gooseneck frame 9 is the same as the method in steps 3 and 4 above, that is, the upper ear plate 10 and the lower ear plate 11 are assembled to the two sets of double ear plates 4 on the same side of the tooling with a pin, and process gaskets are added to the gaps on both sides of the upper ear plate 10, the lower ear plate 11 and the double ear plates 4. The whole is combined with the gooseneck frame 9 so that the center line A of the tooling frame coincides with the center line D of the gooseneck frame, and the upper ear plate 10, the lower ear plate 11 and the end surface of the gooseneck frame 9 are in contact (as shown in FIG. Figure 12 Then, in this assembled state, the connecting welds of the upper ear plate 10, the lower ear plate 11 and the gooseneck frame body 9 are welded (except that the bottom weld cannot be welded), and the tooling is removed after welding.
[0061] Use the double ear plate 4 of the tooling to install and test the upper ear plate 10 and the lower ear plate 11 of each gooseneck. If they can be installed smoothly, the gooseneck welding is qualified.
