Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rotary drilling rigs, in particular to a marine follower for a rotary drilling rig and the rotary drilling rig. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional rotary drilling construction process, the square head of the main drill pipe of the rotary drilling rig is directly inserted into the drilling tool connection square of the rotary drilling rig and is fixedly connected by pins. The two are rigidly connected and cannot rotate. The main engine of the rotary drilling rig drives the torque and pressure to be transmitted through the square head of the main drill pipe, thereby driving the drilling tool of the rotary drilling rig to rotate and drill, thereby achieving the purpose of piling.

[0003] However, this working method is not suitable for sea surface construction without building an offshore platform. Since the rotary drilling rig is placed on a ship during the construction process, the ship is subjected to the surge and impact of the waves, which will cause the drilling tool of the rotary drilling rig to swing back and forth, left and right, thereby increasing the diameter of the rotary excavated pile and the amount of cement filling, increasing the construction cost, and the pile driving center may deviate from the predetermined center during the rotary excavation process, resulting in insufficient verticality of the pile hole, skewness, and unusable piles. At the same time, since the main drill rod square head and the drill tool connection side will repeatedly swing and be stressed due to the impact of the waves during the rotary excavation process, it is possible that the main drill rod square head of the rotary drilling rig will break, and the drilling tool will fall into the pile and become a waste pile. Therefore, it is urgent to design a marine follower and rotary drilling rig for rotary drilling rigs that can adapt to the swing of waves in all directions. Utility Model Content

[0029] The marine follower of the utility model is arranged between the main drill pipe square head 4 and the drill tool connector 5 of the rotary drilling rig, which changes the existing method of fixing the main drill pipe square head 4 and the drill tool connector 3 of the rotary drilling rig by locking with pins, and realizes the hinge connection between the main drill pipe square head 4 and the drill tool connector 3 of the rotary drilling rig. When the rotary drilling rig placed on the ship is affected by waves and swings, the follower connector 1 can swing around the axis direction of the first horizontal rotation axis 6, and the follower square head 3 can swing around the axis direction of the second horizontal rotation axis 7, thereby effectively reducing the impact of waves on the rotary drilling rig on the ship, solving the problem of increasing the pile diameter due to the shaking of the rotary drilling rig, improving the construction quality of rotary drilling, reducing construction costs, and also reducing the risk of breakage of the main drill pipe square head of the rotary drilling rig, thereby extending the service life of the rotary drilling rig.

[0030] For details, see Figure 2-Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first horizontal rotating shaft 6 and the second horizontal rotating shaft 7 are perpendicular to each other, the swing follower connecting square 1 swings left and right around the axis direction of the first horizontal rotating shaft 6, and the swing follower square head 3 swings forward and backward around the axis direction of the second horizontal rotating shaft 7.

[0031] For details, see Figure 2-Figure 6 In this embodiment, the outer wall of the connection disk 2 is provided with a first through hole 21 that passes through the front and back and a second through hole 22 that passes through the left and right. The first through hole 21 and the second through hole 22 are arranged in a staggered manner up and down; the lower end of the follower connection square 1 is provided with a first hinged portion 11, and the first hinged portion 11 is provided with a first through hole 110 that matches the first through hole 21.

The first through hole 110 and the second through hole 310 are arranged in the middle protrusion part, and the first hinged part 11 and the second hinged part 31 are hingedly arranged in the inner cavity of the connecting disk 2. The first hinged part 11 can swing left and right around the first horizontal rotation axis 6 under force, and the second hinged part 31 can swing back and forth around the second horizontal rotation axis 7 under force, which effectively alleviates the force influence of the main drill pipe square head 4 of the rotary drilling rig on the drill tool connection square 5 of the rotary drilling rig below.

[0032] For details, see Figure 3-Figure 6 In this embodiment, a first connection part 12 is provided on the upper part of the swing follower connection square 1, and a receiving cavity 120 is provided on the first connection part 12. The main drilling rod square head 4 of the rotary drilling rig is inserted into the receiving cavity 120 and fixedly connected with the first connection part 12. The receiving cavity 120 is a square cavity that matches the shape and size of the main drilling rod square head 4. Pin holes are provided around the first connection part 12. The main drilling rod square head 4 of the rotary drilling rig is fixed to the swing follower connection square 1 by inserting two mutually perpendicular pins into the pin holes.

[0036] For details, see Figure 3-Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first elastic buffer 23 and the second elastic buffer 24 are both rubber parts. The upper part of the rubber part is a hemisphere, and the lower part is a cylinder. When the first hinge 11 or the second hinge 31 is subjected to force and swings, the abutment sheet and the rubber part abut against each other, causing the rubber part to deform under force. When the rubber part reaches the force limit, the first hinge 11 or the second hinge 31 stops swinging.
