Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of geological machinery, in particular to a shackle releasing device for a reverse circulation drilling rig. Background Technique

[0002] During the reverse circulation drilling construction, the torque of the drilling rig is large and the friction between the drill pipe and the formation is large, which will cause the threads at the connection between the drill pipe and the drilling rig body to be over-tightened. As a result, when adding drill pipes, lifting the drill or lowering the drill is required, the first thread between the adjacent two drill pipes is difficult to loosen. Therefore, it is often necessary for workers to strike with a sledgehammer and the power head of the drilling rig to reverse repeatedly to barely unlock, which greatly reduces the construction efficiency, prolongs the auxiliary time, increases the construction cost, and increases the labor intensity of workers. Chinese Patent CN102296936A discloses a clamping and shackle releasing device for a trenchless guiding drilling rig. The shackle releasing device uses a shackle releasing clamp body to clamp the drill pipe and drives the shackle releasing clamp body to rotate and release the shackle through a shackle releasing oil cylinder, reducing the labor intensity of workers. However, when this device is used, since the circumferential direction of the clamping hole is a closed structure, the shackle releasing clamp body must be installed at a designated position before the drill pipe is lowered, and the drill pipe must pass through the drill pipe clamping hole from top to bottom to extend into the drilling for drilling. Since the clamp occupies a part of the space above the drilling hole, this will affect the operations of workers such as installing and adjusting the drill pipe and installing the drill pipe during drilling. Only after the drill pipe is taken out from the clamping hole can the clamp move. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shackle releasing device for a reverse circulation drilling rig that can not only assist in releasing the shackle, reduce the manual labor intensity, but also avoid affecting the operations of workers during drilling.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shackle device for a reverse circulation drilling rig to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can not only assist in unshackling, reduce the labor intensity of workers, but also avoid affecting the operation of workers during the drilling process.

[0023] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0024] The present invention provides a shackle device for a reverse circulation drilling rig, as Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, it includes a clamping shackle module 1 and a first driving device. The clamping shackle module 1 is used for slidably connecting to the body of the reverse circulation drill. A working channel extending in the vertical direction is provided on the clamping shackle module 1. The working channel communicates with the upper and lower sides of the clamping shackle module 1. An inlet is provided on one side of the working channel. The inlet penetrates the working channel and the outside of the clamping shackle module 1 in the horizontal direction, and penetrates the upper and lower sides of the clamping shackle module 1 in the vertical direction. The free end of the first driving device is connected to the clamping shackle module 1. There is a first working position on the reverse circulation drill, and the first working position is located above the drill hole.

The first driving device can also drive the clamping shackle module 1 to slide in a direction away from the first working position and make the drill pipe leave the working channel from the inlet.

[0025] For the shackle device for the reverse circulation drill provided by the present utility model, before the shackle of the drill pipe is required, the device will not occupy the first working position and thus will not affect the operation of the workers. When performing the shackle removal, the first driving device is used to drive the clamping shackle module 1 to slide to the first working position and make the drill pipe enter the working channel from the inlet, and then the shackle removal operation can be completed by using the clamping shackle module, which reduces the manual labor intensity and construction cost. After the shackle removal operation is completed, the clamping shackle module 1 can slide under the drive of the first driving device to move away from the first working position and retract into the body of the reverse circulation drill. Among them, the first driving device is preferably an oil cylinder, and one end of the piston rod of the oil cylinder forms the free end of the first driving device and is hinged to the clamping shackle module 1.

[0026] In a preferred implementation manner of this embodiment, the clamping and shackle module 1 includes a base 2, a second driving device 3 and a clamp 4, the base 2 is used to be slidably connected to the reverse circulation drilling rig, the clamp 4 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base 2 around a first rotating shaft, and a first channel 411 connecting the upper and lower sides of the clamp 4 is provided on the clamp 4, and a second channel 412 connecting the upper and lower sides of the base 2 is provided on the base 2.

The second driving device 3 is provided on the base 2, and the free end of the second driving device 3 is connected to the clamp 4. The clamp 4 can rotate around the first rotating shaft under the drive of the second driving device 3. When performing the shackle operation, the clamping and shackle module 1 moves under the drive of the first driving device, the drill pipe enters the working channel, the axis of the drill pipe should coincide with the first rotating shaft, the clamp 4 is used to clamp a section of the drill pipe, and the second driving device 3 drives the clamp 4 to rotate in the direction of loosening the thread, so as to loosen the first buckle, and then the reverse circulation drilling rig reverses the drill pipe above the clamped drill pipe (i.e., rotates in the opposite direction to the rotation direction during drilling), so as to release the threaded connection of the two sections of the drill pipe, thereby completing the shackle operation. Among them, the free end of the first driving device is hinged on the upper side of the base 2.

[0027] In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the clamp 4 includes a clamping seat 41 and a plurality of third driving devices 42. The clamping seat 41 is connected to the upper side of the base 2 by rotating around the first rotating shaft.

The plurality of third driving devices 42 are arranged on the clamping seat 41 in sequence along the circumference of the first channel 411. A clamping portion 43 is arranged at the free end of each third driving device 42. Each third driving device 42 can drive each clamping portion 43 to approach or move away from the first rotating shaft to clamp or release the drill rod. When the drill rod enters the working channel and the axis of the drill rod coincides with the first rotating shaft, each third driving device 42 can drive the clamping portion 43 to move toward the first rotating shaft to clamp the drill rod.

[0028] In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the clamping seat 41 has two accommodating chambers, both of which are provided with openings communicating with the interior of the first channel 411, and both of which are provided with a third driving device 42. The two clamping parts 43 on the two third driving devices 42 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two clamping parts 43 can extend or retract into the accommodating chamber through the openings under the drive of the third driving device 42. When the drill rod enters the working channel from the entrance, the clamping parts 43 are retracted into the accommodating chamber, which can prevent the clamping parts 43 from colliding with the drill rod and affecting the normal movement of the clamping and shackle module. The clamping parts 43 are preferably slips.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, the second driving device 3 is an oil cylinder. One end of the oil cylinder is hinged to the base 2 around a vertical rotating shaft. The side of the clamping seat 41 away from the inlet is the first side 44. The piston rod of the oil cylinder is hinged to the first side 44 around a second rotating shaft. The first side 44 is a plane. The plane perpendicular to the first side 44 and passing through the first rotating shaft is the first plane. The second rotating shaft has a distance from the first plane. The oil cylinder can provide greater power for the rotation of the clamping seat 41, making it more convenient to release the buckle.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, a pull plate 5 is further included. One side of the first channel 411 is provided with a first inlet 413 penetrating through the upper and lower sides of the clamping seat 41. One side of the second channel 412 is provided with a second inlet 414 penetrating through the upper and lower sides of the base 2.

The side surfaces of the clamping seat 41 on the horizontal two sides of the first inlet 413 are the second side 45 and the third side 46 respectively. One end of the pull plate 5 is rotatably connected to the second side 45. A limiting block 47 is provided on the other end of the pull plate 5 on the third side 46. The pull plate 5 has a limiting surface 51 facing the second side 45. The pull plate 5 can rotate to make the limiting surface 51 contact the limiting block 47. When the gripper 4 clamps the drill pipe, the two clamping parts 43 are pressed against the drill pipe and will generate a reaction force on the clamping seat 41. In order to prevent deformation at the first opening, the pull plate 5 can be lowered and the first limiting surface 51 can be made to contact the limiting block 47 to share the reaction force generated by clamping. Among them, one end of the pull plate 5 is rotatably connected to the second side 45 around a horizontal rotating shaft. A limiting groove 52 is provided at the lower part of the end of the pull plate 5 away from the second side 45. The inner side wall of the limiting groove 52 away from the second side 45 forms the limiting surface 51.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, the clamping part 43 is detachably connected to the free end of the third driving device 42. When it is necessary to perform a buckle release operation on drill pipes of different diameters, different clamping parts 43 can be replaced to make the clamping part 43 match the size of the drill pipe, improving the applicable range of the device.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, a guiding slideway 6 is provided on the clamping seat 41. The extending track of the guiding slideway 6 is a partial circumference.

[0033] In this utility model, specific examples are used to elaborate on the principle and implementation mode of the utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the utility model; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation mode and application scope.
