[0002] During oil and gas drilling and well repair operations, hydraulic power tongs are usually used to mechanically thread pipes or drill tools, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of drilling and well repair workers, avoids or reduces the occurrence of injury accidents, and also reduces the occurrence of pipe or drill tool tripping accidents. The hydraulic power tongs are mostly moved and reset by the transfer cylinder during use. Due to the fast extension and retraction rate of the transfer cylinder, it is very easy to cause the drill pipe to bend and deviate from the work position, and even cause the piston rod of the transfer cylinder to be unstable and bent, and the retraction rate is slow, which is very likely to cause oil leakage and contaminate the operating equipment. Therefore, manual operation experience is currently used to visually control the timing of air intake and air cutoff of the transfer cylinder to reduce the impact force. This method has high labor intensity and work position limitations, and it is difficult to effectively ensure the position of the hydraulic power tongs, which greatly affects the efficiency of oil and gas operations.

[0003] There are studies in the prior art on the problems caused by manual visual control of the transfer cylinder air intake and air cut-off, such as patent application CN109372449A - a transfer device for power tongs, which controls the air intake and air cut-off of the transfer cylinder through a one-way valve, a mechanical valve, a three-position five-way air valve and a gas-controlled reversing valve, solving the problems of labor intensity and workstation limitations caused by the current manual visual control of the transfer cylinder air intake and air cut-off. However, the existing power tong transfer device can only ensure the moving position of the hydraulic power tongs, but it is difficult to effectively guarantee the torque output when the power tongs are shackled, thereby affecting the effect and efficiency of oil and gas operations.
