[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wellhead cava supporting and fixing device includes a supporting platform 1, a first cava supporting and fixing mechanism 2 is provided above the supporting platform 1, a lifting platform 3 is provided above the first cava supporting and fixing mechanism 2, a second cava supporting and fixing mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the lifting platform 3, the supporting platform 1 is sleeved on the wellhead casing 5, a cava assembly 6 is also installed on the wellhead casing 5, and the first cava supporting and fixing mechanism 2, the lifting platform 3 and the second cava supporting and fixing mechanism 4 are passed through the top of the wellhead casing 5 in sequence.

[0026] The wellhead cava support and fixing device can solve the problem of local stress concentration easily caused by welded pipe clamp support by setting the first cava support and fixing mechanism 2 and the second cava support and fixing mechanism 4, thereby making the cava support effect better, and the lifting platform 3 can be raised and lowered, and can be adjusted and installed according to actual conditions, and is highly practical. In addition, the wellhead cava support and fixing device can avoid drilling holes in the wellhead casing, and can meet the actual needs of the mining party.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first clearance hole for the wellhead casing 5 to pass through is opened in the middle of the support platform 1, and a support column 11 is respectively set at the four corners of the bottom of the support platform 1. In actual use, the support column 11 can be installed on the cement platform around the wellhead casing 5. In this embodiment, the support platform 1 can also be a flange platform. Through the setting of the support column 11, space can be left at the bottom of the support platform 1 for the staff to install the pipe clamp, which is highly practical.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first cava supporting and fixing mechanism 2 includes a supporting base 21, two first slide rails 22, two fixed clamping rings 23 and two first driving sources 24. The bottom of the supporting base 21 is installed on the top of the supporting platform 1 through a mounting column. A first slide rail 22 is installed at both ends above the supporting base 21. A fixed clamping ring 23 is slidably connected above each first slide rail 22. The two fixed clamping rings 23 are symmetrically arranged, and a first driving source 24 is installed at one end of each fixed clamping ring 23. In this embodiment, the first driving source 24 can be a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. In actual use, when the wellhead casing 5 needs to be stress-dispersed and supported, by driving the first driving source 24, the telescopic rods of the two first driving sources 24 push the two fixed clamping rings 23 closer to each other, so that they can tightly press against the wellhead casing 5.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second clearance hole for the wellhead casing 5 to pass through is opened in the middle of the support base 21. In actual use, the size of the second clearance hole can be the same as that of the first clearance hole to avoid interfering with the passage of the wellhead casing 5.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first sliding groove is provided at one end of the bottom of the fixed clamping ring 23, and a first annular groove is provided at the other end of the fixed clamping ring 23, so that the first annular grooves of the two fixed clamping rings 23 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the wellhead casing 5, thereby facilitating the clamping of the wellhead casing 5. In this embodiment, the first sliding groove facilitates the sliding of the first slide rail 22 therein. It should be noted that in order to avoid interfering with the first annular groove from clamping the wellhead casing 5, the first sliding groove is not connected to the first annular groove.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lifting platform 3 includes a lifting platform body 31, four guide sleeves 32 and a lifting piece. The four corners of the bottom of the lifting platform body 31 are respectively installed to the support platform 1 through a guide sleeve 32. A lifting piece is also installed at the bottom of the lifting platform body 31. The lifting piece is used to lift the lifting platform body 31. In actual use, the number of lifting pieces can be one or more, which can be determined according to actual conditions. The lifting piece can be driven by a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod or other lifting components.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a third clearance hole for the passage of the wellhead casing 5 is opened in the middle of the lifting platform body 31, and the third clearance hole, the second clearance hole and the first clearance hole are coaxially arranged. In actual use, the size of the third clearance hole can be the same as the size of the first clearance hole and the second clearance hole to avoid interference with the passage of the wellhead casing 5.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second cava supporting and fixing mechanism 4 includes two support rings 41 and two second driving sources 42. The two support rings 41 are symmetrically arranged above the lifting platform body 31. A second driving source 42 is installed at one end of each support ring 41. In this embodiment, the second driving source 42 can be a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second slip support and fixing mechanism 4 further includes a second slide rail, a second slide groove is defined at one end of the bottom of the support ring 41, and the second slide groove cooperates with the second slide rail. A second annular groove is defined at the other end of the fixing clamping ring 23, and a weight-reducing hole is also defined above the support ring 41. In this embodiment, the second annular grooves of the two support rings 41 can be symmetrically arranged on either side of the wellhead casing 5 to facilitate the clamping of the wellhead casing 5. In this embodiment, the second slide groove facilitates the sliding of the second slide rail therein. It should be noted that to avoid interference with the second annular groove clamping the wellhead casing 5, the second slide groove is not connected to the second annular groove.

[0035] The present wellhead slip support and fixing device is also applicable to wellhead casing 5 without drilling arrangement. This is because in actual use, the mining company may require to maintain the integrity of the casing and cannot drill holes or insert rods. The wellhead support method cannot be used when lowering the casing. Therefore, it is designed that during the casing lowering process, a pipe clamp needs to be welded on the top of the casing, and a large slip is used to clamp the casing at the wellhead and reinforce it to prevent the casing from being strangled. However, this situation is prone to stress concentration problems. The present wellhead slip support and fixing device can solve the problem of stress concentration under the slip assembly 6.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
