Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drilling equipment, in particular to a top drive back-up tong for a drilling rig. Background Art

[0002] The top drive back-up tong for drilling rigs is an important component in the top drive drilling system, and is mainly used for the make-up and break-out of drill pipes, drill collars and other drill strings during drilling operations. The top drive back-up tong uses its strong clamping force to fix the drill string, so that the top drive device can make or break the drill pipe by rotating it. In this way, the connection or disassembly of the drilling tools can be completed at any height on the drilling platform without moving the drill pipe to the rotary table position, which greatly improves the operation efficiency and flexibility.

[0003] However, the existing top drive back-up tongs are not suitable for the installation and disassembly of large-diameter drill strings when fixing the drill string. Secondly, the back-up tongs cannot be raised or lowered during the installation and disassembly process, which makes it inconvenient to fine-tune the height of the drill string. It is not convenient to adjust to a suitable height during actual use, and the operation is very cumbersome. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing back-up tongs to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Reference Figure 1~Figure 2, which is the first embodiment of the utility model, proposes a top drive back tong for a drilling rig, including a mounting portion 1, the mounting portion 1 is used to connect with the drilling rig; a lifting portion 2 is slidably arranged on the mounting portion 1, and the lifting portion 2 has a mounting cavity 3; there are multiple tongs 4, one end of which is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 3; a clamping portion 401 is arranged at the other end of the tongs 4, and the clamping portion 401 is tooth-shaped, and the clamping portion 401 clamps the drill rod after the multiple tongs 4 are close to each other. One end of the tongs 4 located in the mounting cavity 3 has a guide slope 402, and also includes a top block 5, which is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 3, and one end of the top block 5 abuts against the guide slope 402; the two ends of the first elastic member 6 are arranged on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 3 and the tongs 4, and the first elastic member 6 is used to provide a force for the multiple tongs 4 to move away from each other. The top block 5 divides the mounting cavity 3 into a first oil cavity 7 and a second oil cavity 8, and the hydraulic oil is introduced into the first oil cavity 7 or the second oil cavity 8 to push the top block 5 to slide. The inner wall of the guide block 9 is conical, and the guide block 9 is arranged on the pliers body 4, and the end of the guide block 9 with a small inner diameter is close to the pliers body 4. A second telescopic member 11 is also included, and the second telescopic member 11 is arranged in the mounting part 1, and the second telescopic member 11 is used to drive the lifting part 2 to rise and fall.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting part 1 is used as the basic component of the back-up clamp, and is tightly connected to the drilling rig by bolts or welding to ensure the stability of the entire device. The lifting part 2 can slide on the mounting part 1, and the clamp body 4 is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 3. The lifting and lowering of the lifting part 2 enables the clamp body 4 to maintain good alignment and clamping capabilities when working at different heights. A clamping part 401 is configured at one end where the multiple clamp bodies 4 are close to each other. The clamping part 401 is specifically tooth-shaped. After the multiple clamp bodies 4 are close to each other, the clamping part 401 ensures a tight engagement with the drill rod. The other end of the clamp body 4 is provided with a guide slope 402. After the top block 5 slides, it contacts the guide slope 402 to push the sliding of the clamp body 4, so that the clamping part 401 can clamp the drill rod. When the drill rod does not need to be clamped, the top block 5 is reset, and the clamp body 4 is reset under the action of the first elastic member 6. The distance between the multiple clamp bodies 4 is adjusted by the cooperation between the first elastic member 6 and the top block 5.

[0040] By injecting hydraulic oil into the first oil chamber 7 or the second oil chamber 8, the top block 5 can be pushed to slide along the installation chamber 3, thereby achieving precise control of the spacing between the pliers 4 and adjusting the clamping force of the drill rod. The inner wall of the guide block 9 is conical in design, with the end with a smaller inner diameter facing the pliers 4, ensuring that the drill rod can smoothly enter between the multiple clamping parts 401, thereby improving the stability of the connection. The lifting part 2 is lifted and lowered by the second telescopic member 11, and the height of the lifting part 2 is controlled, which is convenient and reliable. In addition, Figure 1 As shown in , the back-up tongs can also be configured as large-caliber tong bodies 4, which can be better adapted to work on drill strings of various calibers.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] Reference Figure 3~Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model, proposes a top drive back tong for a drilling rig, comprising a mounting portion 1, the mounting portion 1 is used to connect to the drilling rig; a lifting portion 2 is slidably arranged on the mounting portion 1, and the lifting portion 2 has a mounting cavity 3; there are multiple tongs 4, and one end of the multiple tongs 4 is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 3; a clamping portion 401 is arranged at the other end of the tongs 4, and the clamping portion 401 is tooth-shaped, and the clamping portion 401 clamps the drill rod after the multiple tongs 4 are close to each other. The lifting portion 2 includes a first sliding portion 201, one end of the first sliding portion 201 is lifted and arranged on the mounting portion 1; one end of the second sliding portion 202 is lifted and arranged on the mounting portion 1, and the other end of the second sliding portion 202 is arranged at the other end of the first sliding portion 201, and the first sliding portion 201 and the second sliding portion 202 both have a mounting cavity 3. It also includes a first telescopic member 10, the first telescopic member 10 is arranged in the mounting cavity 3, and the first telescopic protruding end is connected to the tongs 4. The clamping part 401 has a protrusion 4011 and a recess 4012, which are connected end to end to form a tooth shape. The second telescopic member 11 is arranged in the mounting part 1 and is used to drive the lifting part 2 to move up and down.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting part 1 is used as the basic component of the back-up clamp, and is tightly connected to the drilling rig by bolts or welding to ensure the stability of the entire device. The lifting part 2 can slide on the mounting part 1, and the clamp body 4 is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 3. The lifting of the lifting part 2 enables the clamp body 4 to maintain good alignment and clamping capabilities when operating at different heights. A clamping part 401 is configured at one end where the multiple clamp bodies 4 are close to each other. The clamping part 401 is specifically tooth-shaped. After the multiple clamp bodies 4 are close to each other, the clamping part 401 ensures a tight engagement with the drill rod. The lifting part 2 is a split structure composed of a first sliding part 201 and a second sliding part 202, and its mounting cavity 3 is an exposed groove-type structure, which is convenient for the installation of the clamp body 4. The extension and retraction of the first telescopic member 10 can drive the sliding of the clamp body 4, so that the multiple clamping parts 401 are close to each other and clamp the drill rod. The tooth shape of the clamping part 401 is composed of a protrusion 4011 and a recessed part 4012, which increases the friction between the drill rod and the drill rod while reducing the damage to the drill rod caused by the sharp structure, thereby increasing the service life of the drill rod. The lifting and lowering of the lifting part 2 is realized by the second telescopic member 11. The first telescopic member 10 and the second telescopic member 11 can be specifically a hydraulic cylinder, which is easy to control and has better reliability.
