Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of well drilling machinery, in particular to a drill rod changing device. Background Art
[0002] A drilling rig is a crucial piece of machinery used for drilling underground. First, the drill pipe is driven into the ground using the power head on the rig's main boom. Drilling is then paused, and the rig's gripper clamps the top of the drill pipe. The power head then detaches from the pipe, and a crane hoists another pipe. The two pipes are connected end to end. After the gripper is released, the power head connects to the second pipe and drilling continues, repeating the cycle. Because a crane is required for each drill pipe change, transporting and aligning the pipe takes significant time, reducing drilling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a drill rod changing device includes a swing arm 6 hinged to the main arm 9 of the drilling rig at the right end, a vertical support column 3 rotatably connected to the left end of the swing arm 6, an upper turntable 1 fixedly arranged on the upper part of the support column 3, and a lower turntable 5 fixedly arranged on the lower part of the support column 3. The upper turntable 1 and the lower turntable 5 are both arranged horizontally, and the upper turntable 1 and the lower turntable 5 are both circular. The lower turntable 5 is provided with positioning holes for matching with the bottom of the drill rod 10, and there are three positioning holes. The upper turntable 1 is provided with three C-shaped notches 11 near the edge for matching with the ferrule 2 on the drill rod 10. Adjacent notches 11 are spaced 90 degrees apart in the circumferential direction. The three notches 11 correspond one-to-one to the three positioning holes, and the notches 11 are connected to the edge of the upper turntable 1. The inner portion of the notch 11 is an arc surface with a diameter of D. The width of the notch 11 near the edge of the upper turntable 1 is b. The diameter of the drill rod 10 is d2, and the diameter of the ferrule 2 is d1. Then, d2 satisfies: <b<d1<D。
[0022] There are two swing arms 6 arranged in an upper and lower manner, and the upper turntable 1 and the lower turntable 5 are respectively close to the corresponding swing arms 6. A vertical connecting rod 8 is provided between the two swing arms 6, the upper end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the upper swing arm 6, and the lower end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the lower swing arm 6.
[0023] A first hydraulic cylinder 7 is provided between each swing arm 6 and the main arm 9 . One end of the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is hinged to the main arm 9 , and the other end is hinged to the swing arm 6 .
[0024] A turntable 14 is provided between the swing arm 6 and the lower turntable 5 at one end, and a second hydraulic cylinder 13 is provided on both sides of the center of the lower turntable 5. One end of one of the second hydraulic cylinders 13 is hinged to the lower turntable 5, and the other end is hinged to the outer end of the turntable 14; one end of the other second hydraulic cylinder 13 is hinged to the middle of the turntable 14, and the other end is hinged to the swing arm 6.
[0025] While the drilling rig's power head is operating, the crane lifts three drill rods 10 one by one. After each drill rod 10 enters the notch 11, it moves downward, inserting its bottom into the corresponding locating hole on the lower turntable 5. The ferrule 2 then enters the inner portion of the notch 10. Because d1 is greater than b, the drill rod 10 does not fall over. When a drill rod 10 needs to be replaced, the first hydraulic cylinder 7 is actuated, and the upper and lower turntables 1 and 5, driven by the swing arm 6, swing upward, moving them above the previously driven drill rod 10. The two second hydraulic cylinders 13 then activate, rotating the upper and lower turntables 1 and 5, positioning one of the drill rods 10 on the upper turntable 1 below the power head. The power head then moves downward, connecting with the corresponding drill rod 10. The power head 10 then drives the drill rod 10 upward, causing the ferrule 2 to move upward. The lower end of the drill rod 10 is removed from its corresponding locating hole, and the ferrule 3 is released from the notch. Then the first hydraulic cylinder 7 drives the swing arm 6 to swing, so that the drill rod 10 is separated from the gap 11. Afterwards, this drill rod 10 is connected with the drill rod 10 that was previously driven into the ground, and the drilling operation is continued.
[0026] Since the spare drill rod 10 can be placed on the upper turntable 1 and the lower turntable 5 while the drilling operation is in progress, the drill rod 10 to be replaced can be aligned with the power head by swinging the swing arm 6 and rotating the upper turntable 1 and the lower turntable 5, thereby reducing the replacement time of the drill rod 10 and improving the working efficiency of the drilling rig.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that:
[0029] Four vertical triangular guide plates 4 are fixedly provided on the upper side of the lower turntable 5 around the positioning holes. The side of the guide plate 4 close to the positioning hole is a slope with the top inclined outwards.
[0030] When the lower end of the drill rod 10 moves downward, under the action of the guide plate 4, the lower end of the drill rod 10 can easily enter the positioning hole.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that:
[0033] A C-shaped baffle 12 is fixedly provided on the upper turntable 1 at the edge of the notch 11 close to the center of the upper turntable 1 . The shape of the baffle 10 is consistent with the shape of the inner portion of the notch 11 .
