During well testing and workover operations, for drill pipe, tubing, and sucker rod with diameters ranging from Φ19mm to Φ89mm, the corresponding power tongs must be replaced, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. 2. The climbing clamping mechanism of the tubing power tong's back clamp design is prone to failure to disengage due to excessive uncoupling torque. 3. They cannot meet the performance requirements of the power tongs for automated rod and tubing tripping processes during well testing and workover operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnetic brake and the counter are arranged coaxially.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, The upper servo motor has a main drive gear at its end. This main drive gear engages with a first electromagnetic clutch via a first clutch gear. The first clutch gear and the first electromagnetic clutch are coaxially arranged. A second clutch gear is located at the bottom of the first electromagnetic clutch, also coaxially arranged.

Detailed Implementation

[0011] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric uncoupling pliers for oil, gas and water well operations in the oilfield include an upper drive assembly S1 and a lower drive assembly S2, with the upper drive assembly S1 being detachably connected to the lower drive assembly S2.

[0013] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the upper drive assembly S1 includes a housing 100, with connecting holes 101 at each of the four corners of the housing 100. The housing 100 is equipped with an upper servo motor 1, a reducer 2, a blower 7, an electromagnetic brake 8, and a counter 9. The electromagnetic brake 8 and the counter 9 are coaxially arranged.

[0014] The upper servo motor 1 has a main drive gear 11 at its end. This main drive gear 11 engages with a first electromagnetic clutch 23 via a first clutch gear 22. The first clutch gear 22 and the first electromagnetic clutch 23 are coaxially arranged. A second clutch gear 24 is located at the bottom of the first electromagnetic clutch 23. The second clutch gear 24 is coaxially arranged with the first electromagnetic clutch 23. The second clutch gear 24 engages sequentially with a first pinion 25, a second pinion 16, and a second brake gear 26. A first brake gear 29 is coaxially arranged above the second brake gear 26, which rotates synchronously with the first brake gear 29. The first brake gear 29 is connected to the electromagnetic brake 8 through the brake shaft 21. The electromagnetic brake 8 controls the brake shaft 21. The first brake gear 29 cooperates with the central gear 27, which cooperates with the first air jet gear 28, which cooperates with the first C-type gear 30. The first C-type gear 30 and the second C-type gear 18 are coaxially arranged.

[0015] The brake shaft 21 has a counting shaft 20 at its center, which works in conjunction with the counter 9.

[0016] The output end of the air cannon 7 is provided with an air cannon shaft 19, the first air cannon gear 28 is provided on the upper part of the air cannon shaft 19, and the lower part of the air cannon shaft 19 is provided with a second air cannon gear 17, which cooperates with the second pinion 16.

[0017] The main drive gear 11 has a first transmission gear A1 on one side, which cooperates with the first transmission gear A1. The lower part of the first transmission gear A1 has a second transmission gear A2 coaxially arranged. The first transmission gear A1 and the second transmission gear A2 rotate synchronously. The second transmission gear A2 drives the third transmission gear A3. The lower part of the second transmission gear A2 has a second electromagnetic clutch 14, and the bottom of the second electromagnetic clutch 14 has a third transmission gear A4 coaxially arranged.

[0018] The lower drive assembly S2 includes a main support 200, with connecting posts 201 at each of its four corners. These connecting posts 201 mate with connecting hole seats 101. A central frame 6 is mounted on the main support 200, with a chuck 10 at its front. A lower servo motor 3, a reducer 4, and an electric cylinder 5 are also mounted on the central frame 6. It should be noted that the electric cylinder 5 is a high-torque electric cylinder and employs a lever arm drive structure.

[0019] In addition, the center support 6 is a three-point center support with adaptive floating of ±0.3mm, which can reliably clamp drill pipes, tubing and sucker rods of various sizes with diameters from Φ19mm to Φ89mm, without slippage or failure to detach.

[0020] The following describes the working method of the electric uncoupling pliers used in oil, gas, and water well operations in this oilfield. Taking the process of uncoupling a Φ73mm tubing in the well as an example, the steps include: Step S1, Back Clamp. Start the lower servo motor 3, which provides thrust to the center frame 6 through the reducer 4 and electric cylinder 5, so that the chuck 10 of the center frame 6 obtains a clamping force of 15 kN•m, clamping the pipe rod coupling 31, as shown. Figure 7 As shown; Step S2, Power Clamp. Start the upper servo motor 1, which is connected to the main drive gear 11 and the first clutch gear 22 through the reducer 2, and then connected to the second clutch gear 24, the first pinion 25, the second pinion 16, the second brake gear 26, and the second air cannon gear 17 in sequence through the first electromagnetic clutch 23, transmitting 10600 N•m of torque to the second C-type gear 18. As a result, the second C-type gear 18 rotates counterclockwise. Step S3: The electromagnetic brake 8 is activated. The electromagnetic brake 8 drives the first brake gear 29 through the brake shaft 21. The first brake gear 29 is connected in sequence to the central gear 27 and the first air cannon gear 28, thereby applying a certain braking force to the first C-type gear 30. Step S4: The rotational force of the second C-type gear 18 and the braking force of the first C-type gear 30 are used to make the power pliers clamp the oil pipe body or the sucker rod neck 32. In step S5, after the back clamp and power clamp clamp are engaged, if the continuous output torque of the second C-type gear 18 reaches 10600 N•m but the motor still does not rotate, the program controls the first electromagnetic clutch 23 and the second electromagnetic clutch 14 to disengage. The program then controls the activation of the impact uncoupling mechanism, namely the air wrench 7 and the air wrench shaft 19. The air wrench 7 then drives the second air wrench gear 17, the second pinion 16, and the second brake gear 26 to rotate via the air wrench shaft 19. When the second brake gear 26 drives the counter 9 via the counting shaft 20, and the counter 9 reaches the set value of one revolution, it automatically switches to the upper servo motor 1 to enter high-speed uncoupling (60 rpm / min) mode. It should be noted that throughout the entire process, the system monitors the torque of the upper servo motor 1 in real time, effectively preventing damage to the oil pipe threads. Step S6: When the counter 9 reaches the set number of unhooking cycles, the upper servo motor 1 stops unloading the tube, and at the same time, the second C-type gear 18 and the first C-type gear 30 are reset according to the value of the counter 9.

[0021] As for the buckling process, it simply involves changing the rotation direction of the upper servo motor 1 to clockwise, without needing to use the impact buckling mechanism.

[0022] The electric uncoupling pliers used for oil, gas, and water well operations in this oilfield have the following advantages: 3. The electric uncoupling pliers for oil, gas and water well operations in this oilfield adopt a fully electric drive system (operating in a wide temperature range of -40℃ to 80℃), which solves the problem of possible failure of traditional hydraulic devices in high-altitude and cold regions and improves operational efficiency; 4. Because the system monitors the torque of the servo motor 1 in real time, it can achieve precise control of the clamping torque. At the same time, the back clamp uses a high-torque electric cylinder, which can achieve automatic reset, easily realizing automatic clamping and automatic reset.

[0023] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application.
