Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, in particular to a cleaning device for drilling tool threads. Background Art

[0002] Pipes are important tools in oil and gas drilling. During the oil and gas drilling process, multiple pipes are usually connected end to end in the well for operation. The pipes are connected by threads at their ends. During the use and storage of pipes, the threads at the ends of the pipes often rust and scale. In order to protect the quality and performance of the pipes, the threads at the ends of the pipes are generally cleaned before operation and then applied with pipe thread compound to prevent affecting the service life and performance of the pipes.

[0003] A common cleaning method is manual cleaning: after the pipe is at the wellhead or near the inlet, the internal threads of the pipe are manually cleaned before the pipe is connected. Due to the limited working space at the wellhead, manual cleaning is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and poses a safety hazard of personal injury and seriously affects operational efficiency. With the increasing mechanization of oil and gas drilling operations, mechanical devices for cleaning drill tool joint threads and applying thread oil have been introduced. These devices can replace manual cleaning and oiling operations. However, the thread sizes of different drill tools vary, and existing cleaning devices require manual adjustment of the brush opening size to accommodate the thread sizes of different drill tools, affecting operational efficiency.

[0030] To better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for drill thread, including a cleaning thread assembly 1 and a limiting assembly 2; the cleaning thread assembly 1 includes a driving mechanism, a driving disk 11, a chassis 12 and a plurality of metal brushes 13; the driving disk 11 is installed on the driving mechanism, the chassis 12 is located above the driving disk 11, and the limiting assembly 2 abuts against the chassis 12; the plurality of metal brushes 13 are slidably installed on the chassis 12 to form a cleaning channel that can be shrunk or expanded, and a plurality of curved grooves 14 are evenly opened on the driving disk 11, and the plurality of metal brushes 13 are connected to the plurality of curved grooves 14 one by one.

[0032] Specifically, when cleaning the thread, the drive mechanism drives the drive disc 11 to rotate in the forward direction, and the limit assembly 2 generates a torque opposite to the forward direction on the chassis 12. The chassis 12 remains stationary under the limiting action of the limit assembly 2. The drive disc 11 drives multiple metal brushes 13 to slide toward the center of the chassis 12 under the limiting action of the curved groove 14, reducing the cleaning channel to a size that is suitable for the drill thread. After the metal brushes 13 abut the drill thread, the drill thread generates a reaction force on the metal brushes 13. Under the action of the reaction force, the chassis 12 overcomes the torque generated by the limit assembly 2. The drive disc 11 drives the chassis 12 to rotate, and then the multiple metal brushes 13 form a cleaning channel to clean the drill thread. In this way, the thread size of different drill tools can be adapted through mechanical linkage. Compared with the existing technology, the degree of mechanization is high, and the drill thread cleaning can be realized unmanned, with higher operating efficiency.

[0033] Further, if Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the chassis 12 includes a retaining ring 121 and a brush plate 122. The brush plate 122 is mounted on the retaining ring 121, and multiple metal brushes 13 are slidably mounted on the brush plate 122. The retaining assembly 2 abuts the retaining ring 121. Specifically, the brush plate 122 is provided with multiple radially extending guide rails. The multiple metal brushes 13 are slidably mounted on the multiple guide rails via sliders 15. The sliders 15 are connected to the curved grooves 14 via guide posts 16 at their bottoms. In this embodiment, the metal brushes 13 are three steel wire brushes. The curved grooves 14 can optionally be shaped like an Archimedean spiral.

[0034] Further, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting assembly 2 includes a mounting base 21, a limiting component 22, and a compression spring 23. The limiting component 22 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 21, and the compression spring 23 is located between the mounting base 21 and the limiting component 22. The limiting component 22 abuts the chassis 12. Specifically, the mounting base 21 includes a mounting plate 211 and a pressure plate 212. The pressure plate 212 is connected to the mounting plate 211, and two sliding rods 213 are provided between the pressure plate 212 and the mounting plate 211. The limiting component 22 is slidably mounted on the two sliding rods 213, and the limiting component 22 is slidably inserted into the sliding holes 214 of the mounting plate 211 and the pressure plate 212. The compression spring 23 is inserted into the sliding rod 213 and is located between the limiting component 22 and the pressure plate 212. Furthermore, the limiting assembly 22 includes a sliding sleeve 221 and a limiting block 222. The sliding sleeve 221 is sleeved on the limiting block 222. The sliding sleeve 221 is slidably connected to the two slide bars 213 via the lugs on both sides thereof. The sliding sleeve 221 is slidably inserted into the slide hole 214, and the limiting block 222 abuts the chassis 12. Specifically, under the action of the compression spring 23, the limiting block 222 abuts the chassis 12 to generate a torque opposite to its rotational direction.

[0035] Further, if Figure 7 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a driver 17, a bearing housing 18, and a rotating shaft 19. The driver 17 is mounted in the bearing housing 18, and the rotating shaft 19 is rotatably disposed within the bearing housing 18. The driver 17 is connected to the drive disc 11 via the rotating shaft 19. In this embodiment, a square shaft assembly is provided at the free end of the rotating shaft 19, and the rotating shaft 19 is connected to the square hole 111 of the drive disc 11 via the square shaft assembly.

[0036] The use of the cleaning device for drill tool threads provided in this specific embodiment is as follows: after the drill tool thread is in place, the driving disk 11 is driven to rotate by the driver 17, and the chassis 12 remains stationary under the action of the reverse torque generated by the limit block 222. The slider 15 at the bottom of the metal brush 13 slides along the guide rail toward the drill tool thread under the limiting action of the curved groove 14 until the metal wire abuts the drill tool thread. Under the action of the drill tool thread on the metal brush 13, the chassis 12 overcomes the reverse torque generated by the limit block 222 and rotates with the driving disk 11, thereby cleaning the drill tool thread through the cleaning channel.
