Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rock cuttings collection and storage, in particular to a rock cuttings collection and storage device. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of oil drilling and geological exploration, the collection and storage of rock cuttings (drill cuttings) face two major pain points. For example, in traditional bagged storage, the bags are easily damaged, leading to leakage and pollution, and the bags need to be manually unpacked during unloading, which is inefficient. When the rock cuttings need to be stacked in a stacking bin or storage pit, the rock cuttings need to be stored in a lifting container after unpacking. After being transported to the stacking bin or storage pit, the lifting container needs to be turned over to pour the rock cuttings into the storage area. When unloading from rigid storage barrels, it is difficult to store rock cuttings. The sticky rock cuttings are easily hardened at the bottom of the barrel to form "rat holes", which requires reliance on external vibrators or manual intervention, increasing equipment complexity and operational risks.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new rock cuttings collection and storage device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a rock cuttings collection and storage device.
[0005] The rock cuttings collection and storage device provided by the utility model comprises a storage barrel, the top of the storage barrel is provided with a threaded feed port, and the bottom of the storage barrel is an open structure;
[0006] A thickened area is installed on the barrel body near the bottom of the storage barrel, and a plurality of annularly distributed through holes are opened on the thickened area;
[0007] A sealing cone for sealing the bottom opening is installed at the bottom of the storage barrel, and an annular cone edge is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cone. A plurality of annularly distributed sliding rods are fixedly installed on the annular cone edge. The sliding rods pass through corresponding through holes and are fixedly mounted with a connecting ring. Two symmetrically distributed limit plates are installed on the connecting ring. A tension spring is also sleeved on the sliding rods.
[0008] The barrel body fixing sleeve above the thickened area is provided with an abutment ring, and two groups of symmetrically distributed locking components are installed on the abutment ring, and the limiting plate is locked by the locking components.
[0009] Preferably, the locking component includes a mounting plate, which is fixedly installed in the mounting cavity opened by the abutment ring, and a micro cylinder is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, a central connecting plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the micro cylinder, and two symmetrically distributed locking rods are fixedly installed on the central connecting plate.
[0010] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and the guide plate passes through the sliding through hole provided in the central connecting plate and is slidably connected to the sliding through hole.
[0011] Preferably, two locking holes are provided on the limiting plate.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting ring, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the upper specific surface of the thickened area.
[0013] Preferably, a threaded cover is installed on the threaded feed port opened on the top of the storage barrel.
[0014] Preferably, a plurality of lifting ears are fixedly mounted on the top of the storage barrel.
[0015] Compared with related technologies, the rock cuttings collection and storage device provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] When the storage barrel is transferred to a stacking bin or a storage pit, the storage barrel is lifted by a hoisting device and transported to the stacking bin or the storage pit discharge area. At this time, the locking component is used to unlock the limit plate, so that under the action of the elastic force of the tension spring, the sliding rod slides down along the through hole, so that the sealing cone slides out of the opening at the bottom of the storage barrel, so that the rock chips stored in the storage barrel can be quickly discharged. Since the sealing cone is subjected to the continuous change of the gravity of the rock chips during the storage barrel discharge, the sealing cone can continuously swing up and down, so that the rock chips stored in the storage barrel are continuously subjected to different degrees of abutment by the tip of the sealing cone, and its cone surface can effectively break the compacted layer, thereby greatly improving the rate of rock chip discharge.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the present invention provides a rock cuttings collection and storage device, which includes a storage barrel 1, a sealing cone 2 and a locking component 6.
[0026] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A plurality of lifting ears 7 are fixedly installed on the top of the storage barrel 1, a threaded feed port is opened on the top of the storage barrel 1, and a threaded cover 11 is installed on the threaded feed port opened on the top of the storage barrel 1. The bottom of the storage barrel 1 is an open structure, and a sealing cone 2 for sealing the bottom opening is installed at the bottom of the storage barrel 1;
[0027] A thickened area 12 is installed on the barrel body near the bottom of the storage barrel 1, and a plurality of annularly distributed through holes 12a are opened on the thickened area 12. An annular cone edge 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cone 2, and a plurality of annularly distributed sliding rods 3 are fixedly installed on the annular cone edge 21. The sliding rods 3 pass through the corresponding through holes 12a and are fixedly mounted with a connecting ring 31. Two symmetrically distributed limit plates 5 are installed on the connecting ring 31. A fixed sleeve of the barrel body above the thickened area 12 is provided with abutment ring 13, and two groups of symmetrically distributed locking components 6 are installed on the abutment ring 13. The limit plate 5 is locked by the locking component 6. A tension spring 4 is also sleeved on the sliding rod 3, and one end of the tension spring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting ring 31, and the other end of the tension spring 4 is fixedly connected to the upper specific surface of the thickened area 12.
[0028] It should be noted that: when collecting and storing rock cuttings, the storage barrel 1 is pressed down so that the sealing cone 2 seals the bottom opening of the storage barrel 1, and then the locking component 6 is used to lock the limit plate 5, thereby completing the locking of the sealing cone 2. At this time, the tension spring 4 is stretched, and then the rock cuttings are stored in the storage barrel 1 from the threaded feed port, and then the threaded cover 11 is closed.
[0029] It should also be noted that when the storage barrel 1 is transferred to the stacking bin or storage pit, the storage barrel 1 is lifted by a lifting device and transported to the stacking bin or storage pit discharge area. At this time, the locking member 6 is used to unlock the limit plate 5, so that under the elastic force of the tension spring 4, the sliding rod 3 slides down along the through hole 12a, so that the sealing cone 2 slides out of the opening at the bottom of the storage barrel 1, so that the rock chips stored in the storage barrel 1 can be quickly discharged.
[0030] Since the sealing cone 2 is subjected to the constantly changing gravity of the rock chips during the unloading of the storage barrel 1, the sealing cone 2 is able to continuously swing up and down, so that the rock chips stored in the storage barrel 1 are continuously pressed to varying degrees by the tip of the sealing cone 2, and its cone surface can effectively break up the compacted layer, thereby greatly improving the rate of rock chip unloading.
[0031] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The locking component 6 includes a mounting plate 61, which is fixedly installed in the mounting cavity 13a opened by the abutting ring 13, and a micro cylinder 62 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 61. The output end of the micro cylinder 62 is fixedly installed with a central connecting plate 63, and two symmetrically distributed locking rods 64 are fixedly installed on the central connecting plate 63. Two locking holes 5a are opened on the limit plate 5.
[0032] It should be noted that: opening the micro cylinder 62 drives the locking rod 64 to be inserted into the locking hole 5a, thereby completing the locking of the limit plate 5, and when the output end of the micro cylinder 62 is turned back, the locking rod 64 slides out of the locking hole 5a, and the unlocking is completed.
[0033] Among them, the recommended model of micro cylinder 62 is: SMC CM2B20-15Z, which has a stroke of 20mm, a thrust of 200N, a double-acting cylinder, and IP67 protection.
[0034] In this embodiment, a guide plate 65 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 61 , and the guide plate 65 passes through the sliding through hole provided in the middle connecting plate 63 and is slidably connected to the sliding through hole, thereby improving the stability of the output end of the micro cylinder 62 during extension and retraction.
[0035] The circuits and controls involved in the present invention are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
