For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Example, see Figure 1~Figure 2 , which is an embodiment of the utility model, proposes a top drive connection mechanism for a drilling rig, which is used to be arranged between the derrick 1 and the top drive device 2 of the drilling rig. The top drive device 2 is set on the derrick 1 for lifting and lowering, and includes a lifting wheel 3 and a pull rope. The lifting wheel 3 is relatively rotatably arranged on the top drive device 2; one end of the pull rope is connected to the derrick 1, and the other end of the pull rope passes around the lifting wheel 3 for connection with the winch. The lifting wheel 3 moves upward or downward with the help of the pull rope on the winch. Lifting wheels 3 are arranged on both sides of the top drive device 2. When the pull rope is released, the lifting wheel 3 descends, driving the top drive device 2 to descend synchronously. When the pull rope is retracted to the winch, the lifting wheel 3 rises, driving the top drive device 2 to rise synchronously through the pull plate 4. The structure is simple and can save costs.

[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a pull plate 4, which is used to be set on the top drive device 2, and the lifting wheel 3 is connected to the rotation device, and the lifting wheel 3 is rotated relative to the pull plate 4. The lifting wheel 3 is connected to the top drive device 2 by the pull plate 4, which has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0040] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it also includes a positioning seat 5 and a first telescopic mechanism 6. The positioning seat 5 is arranged on the top drive device 2. The pull plate 4 is plugged with the positioning seat 5 to form a sliding fit. The first telescopic mechanism 6 is located below the positioning seat 5. One end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 is connected to the pull plate 4, and the other end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 is connected to the top drive device 2. When the upper and lower positions of the lifting wheel 3 are fixed and the position of the top drive device 2 needs to be adjusted, the position of the pull plate 4 is fixed, and the first telescopic mechanism 6 is telescoped, so that the top drive device 2 moves downward or upward, and the positioning seat 5 moves downward or upward along the pull plate 4. The positioning seat 5 can play a guiding and limiting role.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a positioning shaft. A vertical long hole 7 is opened on the pull plate 4. The positioning shaft is arranged on the positioning seat 5 and forms a sliding fit with the long hole 7.

[0042] When the lifting wheel 3 is needed to drive the top drive device 2 to rise and fall, the positioning shaft is located at the bottom of the long hole 7, and the pull plate 4 can drive the positioning seat 5 to rise and fall through the positioning shaft, thereby driving the top drive device 2 to rise and fall synchronously.

[0043] When the position of the top drive 2 needs to be adjusted, the upper and lower positions of the lifting wheel 3 are fixed, and the first telescopic mechanism 6 is extended and retracted, so that the top drive 2 moves downward or upward, and the positioning seat 5 moves synchronously, thereby driving the positioning shaft to move synchronously. The positioning shaft slides in the long hole 7, which can play a guiding and limiting role to realize the lifting and lowering of the top drive 2. In addition, the first telescopic mechanism 6 has a built-in encoder, which can drive the top drive 2 to lift and lower while recording the lifting distance, and can accurately locate the height of the top drive 2, and use data to visualize drilling work.

[0044] When the top drive needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the positioning shaft between the pull plate 4 and the positioning seat 5 can be unplugged first, and then the positioning shaft between the first telescopic mechanism 6 and the positioning seat 5 can be unplugged, and the pull plate 4 and the first telescopic mechanism 6 can be disassembled, and then the top drive can be removed from the derrick. In this way, the top drive can be disassembled and repaired simply and quickly, reducing the downtime of the drilling rig and improving the overall work efficiency.

[0046] When the derrick 1 is laid down on the vehicle body, in order to prevent part of the structure of the top drive device 2 from protruding outside the derrick 1, the second telescopic mechanism 10 is retracted, thereby driving the top drive device 2 and the positioning sleeve 8 to move toward the support frame 9, so that the top drive device 2 is close to the vehicle body, until the top drive device 2 completely reaches the inside of the derrick 1, the second telescopic mechanism 10 stops working, which can avoid the problem of super height during transportation. When the drilling rig needs to work, the second telescopic mechanism 10 is extended, thereby driving the top drive device 2 and the positioning sleeve 8 to move away from the support frame 9, so that the top drive device 2 is away from the vehicle body until the top drive device 2 returns to its initial position. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient and fast, and it saves time and effort. The second telescopic mechanism 10 is hinged to the support frame 9, and the second telescopic mechanism 10 is also hinged to the positioning sleeve 8, which is simpler and more convenient to disassemble and assemble.

The insertion rod 12 passes through the positioning sleeve 8 with the help of the extension of the third telescopic mechanism 11 and is connected with the adjustment holes 13 on the support frame 9.

[0048] After the top drive device 2 is moved to the desired position by the extension and retraction of the second telescopic mechanism 10, the second telescopic mechanism 10 stops working, and then the third telescopic mechanism 11 is extended to push the insertion rod 12 to move toward the support frame 9, so that the lower end of the insertion rod 12 passes through the positioning sleeve 8 and is plugged into the adjustment hole 13 on the support frame 9, and the support frame 9 is locked in the current position, which is more firm and reliable.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a support sleeve 14 and a support plate 15.

The support plate 15 and the support sleeve 14 are detachably connected, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance of the third telescopic mechanism 11.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two support frames 9, all of which are arranged along the axial direction of the top drive device 2, and the ends of the support frames 9 are plugged into the positioning sleeves 8. A second telescopic mechanism 10 is provided between each support frame 9 and the top drive device 2, and the plurality of second telescopic mechanisms 10 and the support frames 9 together support the top drive device 2, and the stability is better.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a connecting rod 16, which is arranged between two adjacent support frames 9. The connecting rod 16 is used to connect the two upper and lower adjacent support frames 9 together, so that the overall strength is higher and the stability is better.

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two connecting rods 16 between two adjacent support frames 9, and all the connecting rods 16 are arranged along the length direction of the support frame 9.
