Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mud umbrellas, and particularly relates to an upgrading device for a mud umbrella. Background Technique

[0002] The top drive is a top drive drilling system, which is a mechanical device located under the big hook. It provides a clockwise driving torque for the drill string to carry out the drilling process. During the use of the top drive, mud is likely to flow into the gearbox of the top drive. The mud causes significant and irreversible damage to the gears, bearings, and lubricating oil channels in the gearbox. The cleaning process even requires completely disassembling the gearbox and even replacing important gear bearings.

[0003] The reason is that during the long-term operation of the mud umbrella of the top drive, it is extremely easy to have seal aging (only one seal) and mechanical wear. In addition, this position is not easy to maintain, reducing the protection ability of the mud umbrella.

[0004] In the prior art, an asbestos gasket is used for sealing between the mud retaining ring and the oil seal sleeve in the mud umbrella of the top drive. The aging of the asbestos gasket will form a mud penetration channel. Moreover, the mud retaining ring and the oil seal sleeve are fixed with 4 bolts. If the compression is insufficient or a single bolt is loose, a mud penetration channel will be formed, resulting in the problem of mud penetration. In order to improve the protection ability and long-term effectiveness of the mud umbrella, the mechanical structure of the mud umbrella is designed and upgraded. Therefore, an upgrading device for the mud umbrella is designed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an upgrading device for a mud umbrella to solve the problems existing in the above background technique.

[0026] Embodiment:

[0027] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a mud umbrella upgrading device, including a mud umbrella main body 1, an oil seal sleeve 2, a cover body 3 and a mud guard ring 4. An oil seal sleeve 2 is embedded in the central through hole of the mud umbrella main body 1. A cover body 3 is sleeved above the outer surface of the oil seal sleeve 2. An external thread 201 is provided above the outer surface of the oil seal sleeve 2. An internal thread 401 is provided on the inner surface of the mud guard ring 4. The internal thread 401 is connected to the external thread 201 of the oil seal sleeve 2.

[0028] By providing the oil seal sleeve 2 and the mud guard ring 4, after the mud guard ring 4 is upgraded by threads and thread sealing is adopted, it can prevent mud from flowing in without an asbestos gasket, and can effectively block mud for a long time without maintenance during long-term use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inner side of the mud guard ring 4 is in a stepped shape with a larger diameter at the bottom and a smaller diameter at the top, which is convenient for the mud guard ring 4 to be sleeved on the oil seal sleeve 2 and the cover body 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the diameter of the upper part of the inner side of the mud guard ring 4 is equal to the inner diameter of the oil seal sleeve 2, the central diameter of the inner side of the mud guard ring 4 is equal to the outer diameter of the oil seal sleeve 2, and the diameter of the lower part of the mud guard ring 4 is equal to the outer diameter of the cover body 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the mud guard ring 4 is threadedly connected to the oil seal sleeve 2, the top of the oil seal sleeve 2 is closely attached to the mud guard ring 4, the lower part of the oil seal sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outside of the cover body 3, and the bottom of the mud guard ring 4 is closely attached to the upper surface of the mud umbrella main body 1, ensuring the tightness of the contact between the mud guard ring 4 and the oil seal sleeve 2 and the cover body 3 and ensuring the sealing effect.

[0032] In this embodiment, annular grooves are provided in the center and above the inner surface of the cover 3, and sealing rings 5 are embedded in the annular grooves. By providing two sealing rings 5 in the cover 3, double sealing is achieved, and the sealing effect is better.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the sealing ring 5 is in interference fit with the inner surface of the oil seal sleeve 2 to ensure close contact between the sealing ring 5 and the oil seal sleeve 2 and ensure the sealing performance.

[0034] By providing two sealing rings 5, the sealing effect of the cover 3 on the oil seal sleeve 2 is enhanced, preventing slight mud from penetrating the sealing ring 5, accelerating the wear of the sealing ring 5, and preventing the formation of a mud penetration channel between the sealing ring 5 and the oil seal sleeve 2, thus ensuring the sealing performance.

[0035] In this embodiment, a plurality of threaded holes are provided in the lower side of the side surface of the mud guard ring 4, and a plurality of locking bolts are threadedly connected in the threaded holes. The locking bolts are threadedly connected to the side surface of the cover 3, increasing the stability of the mud guard ring 4 after installation.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the prior art, an asbestos gasket 6 is used for sealing between the mud guard ring 4 and the oil seal sleeve 2 on the mud umbrella body 1. Aging of the asbestos gasket 6 will form a mud penetration channel. In the original structure, the mud guard ring and the oil seal sleeve are fixed with 4 bolts. If the pressing is insufficient or a single bolt 7 becomes loose, a mud penetration channel will be formed.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
