Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air box rotation-stopping device for a drilling rig, belonging to the technical field of geothermal well drilling. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread utilization of geothermal resources, geothermal well drilling techniques and methods urgently need to be updated. Improving geothermal well construction efficiency and reducing geothermal well construction costs are key to geothermal well drilling and construction projects. In the exploration and development of deep bedrock geothermal resources, gas lift reverse circulation drilling (GLRCD) has become increasingly popular due to its advantages, including low energy consumption, clean bottomholes, high drilling efficiency, and reservoir protection. GLRCD uses compressed air injected into the drill string to reduce the fluid density within the drill string, thereby changing the pressure differential between the inner and outer fluid columns. This pressure differential allows drilling fluid to flow from the outer annulus of the drill string and return from the inner annulus. An air compressor pumps compressed air through a gas supply line, an air box, a double-walled active drill pipe, a double-walled drill pipe, and an air-water mixer into the inner tube of the double-walled drill pipe. The air mixes with the drilling fluid to form a mixed fluid with a lower density than the drilling fluid. Once the gas enters the inner tube of the double-walled drill pipe, it rises rapidly along the inner tube, creating a gas lift effect.

[0003] In the gas lift reverse circulation drilling process, the gas box serves as the air intake device for high-pressure air to enter the double-wall drill bit, and is an important component of the double-wall drill bit. At present, there is a lack of gas box anti-rotation matching devices suitable for drilling rigs on domestic construction sites. This problem has restricted the development of the gas lift reverse circulation drilling process to a certain extent. The fixing of the gas box on the construction site is often extensive. Generally, the gas box is clamped with an ordinary clamp and connected to the fixed part of the drilling rig through a connecting rod. This fixing device has the following defects: it has little effect on the anti-rotation of the gas box, and the back-and-forth rotation of the gas box drives the connecting rod to make a knocking noise; it cannot meet the floating requirements of the power head while the gas box is anti-rotating; the ordinary clamping device is not stable enough, and it is easy for the gas box to detach, resulting in immeasurable consequences. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an air box anti-rotation device for a drilling rig, which can effectively prevent the air box from rotating, and also meet the floating requirements of the power head and firmly clamp the air box.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A gas box anti-rotation device for a drilling rig comprises two T-shaped brackets arranged opposite to each other, a floating ear plate being connected to the lower inner portion of the T-shaped bracket, a split clamp being provided between the two floating ear plates, the split clamp being movably connected to the floating ear plates in the upper and lower directions, a tooth plate being provided on the inner side of the split clamp, the tooth plate being used to clamp the gas box outer shell, and a tooth plate stop pin being provided on the split clamp and above and below the tooth plate.

[0007] The cross bracing portion of the T-shaped bracket is provided with a supporting foot, and the supporting foot is fixed to the inner side of the power head ear plate through a pin shaft.

[0008] Ribs are provided on both sides of the main arm portion of the T-shaped bracket.

[0009] The T-shaped bracket and the floating ear plate are connected by welding.

[0010] The split clamp includes two semicircular parts arranged opposite to each other, connecting plates are provided on both sides of the semicircular parts, the floating ear plate is located between the two connecting plates, an oblong hole is opened on the floating ear plate along the vertical direction, and a bolt hole is opened on the connecting plate. The bolt passes through the two bolt holes and the oblong hole and is locked by a nut.

[0011] A gasket is provided between the inner side of the nut and the connecting plate.

[0012] A trapezoidal groove is provided on the inner wall of the split clamp, and the transverse cross-section of the tooth plate is trapezoidal. The tooth plate is installed in the trapezoidal groove, and a tooth surface is provided on the tooth plate. The tooth surface is higher than the inner wall of the split clamp, and pin holes for the tooth plate stop pin to pass through are respectively provided at the upper and lower positions in the trapezoidal groove.

[0013] The number of the tooth plates is N, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 3, and the tooth plates are evenly distributed along the inner ring of the split clamp.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention provides an air box anti-rotation device for a drilling rig. First, a double-supported T-shaped bracket replaces the traditional connecting rod structure, which can reduce the connection points and increase the integrity of the structure. The T-shaped bracket can be firmly fixed on the ear plates on both sides of the power head, providing a reliable limit to prevent the air box from rotating, ensuring that the air box achieves an ideal anti-rotation effect, and greatly reducing the impact noise generated by the connection gap. In addition, the floating ear plate leaves a margin for the floating of the power head to meet the floating requirements of the power head. Finally, the air box is clamped in the form of a split clamp. The split clamp meets the needs of convenient disassembly and installation during on-site construction. A tooth plate is provided in the split clamp, which is tightly pressed on the air box outer shell through the front and rear clamps. Compared with the traditional clamp, the clamping device greatly improves the reliability and reduces the risk of the air box falling or being thrown out. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Compared with the traditional clamp, the clamping device greatly improves reliability, avoids the air box from detaching, and can effectively reduce the risk of accidents.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the utility model discloses a gas box anti-rotation device for drilling rigs, comprising two T-shaped brackets 1 arranged opposite to each other, which has the advantages of being stable and reliable while also adapting to the spatial structure of the power head ear plate. Figure 2 As shown, the cross brace of the T-shaped bracket 1 is equipped with support legs 11, which are fixed to the inner side of the power head lug via pins. The double-braced T-shaped structure provides a reliable stop and fixed point to prevent the gas box housing from rotating, while also reserving installation space for the power head lug pin. Ribs 12 are installed on both sides of the main arm of the T-shaped bracket 1 to strengthen it.

[0026] The lower inner part of the T-shaped bracket 1 is connected to the floating lug plate 2, and the T-shaped bracket 1 and the floating lug plate 2 are welded together. Figure 2 As shown, the floating ear plate 2 is provided with an oblong hole 21 in the vertical direction to provide left and right limit for rotation and reserve space for the floating power head.
