[0036] To solve the problems in the prior art, the application provides a drum and coiled tubing device, which can effectively fix the starting end of the coiled tubing, avoids the risk of sudden extraction when the coiled tubing is scattered and reversed, and improves the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1-8 The application provides a drum, which comprises a drum body 1, a guide plate 2, and a fixing assembly 3.

[0038] The drum body 1 comprises a support part 11, which has an outer surface 111, an inner surface 112, and a communication port 113 communicating the outer surface 111 and the inner surface 112, and the outer surface 111 is used for winding the cable. In the application, the cable is a coiled tubing a, and can also be a cable or other component that needs to be wound on the outer surface 111 of the support part 11.

[0039] The guide plate 2 is arranged at the communication port 113, one end of the guide plate 2 is connected with the outer surface 111, and the other end extends to one side of the inner surface 112 of the support part 11, and is used for guiding the starting end of the cable to one side of the inner surface 112 of the support part 11.

[0040] The fixing assembly 3 is used for connecting with the starting end of the cable, so as to fix the starting end of the cable on one side of the inner surface 112 of the support part 11.

[0041] Specifically, the support part 11 of the drum body 1 is a ring-shaped cylinder, the outer surface 111 of the support part 11 is used for winding the pipe cable, and the outer surface 111 side of the support part 11 and the inner surface 112 side are communicated through the communication port 113, so that the starting end of the pipe cable can extend to the inner surface 112 side of the support part 11 through the communication port 113. Alternatively, the support part 11 can also be provided with a plurality of support plates uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, which is not limited here, as long as the outer surface 111 of the support part 11 can be used for winding the pipe cable.

[0042] In the present application, by passing the starting end of the pipe cable through the communication port 113 and guiding it to the inner surface 112 side of the support part 11 through the guide plate 2, and fixing the starting end of the pipe cable through the fixing assembly 3, the effective fixing of the starting end of the coiled tubing a is realized, the risk of sudden extraction of the coiled tubing a during the pipe laying and storage process is avoided, and the convenience and reliability of the operation are improved.

[0043] In the related art, the coiled tubing a is currently wound on the drum, and during the pipe laying and storage process, the coiled tubing a is often scattered due to the movement of the starting end of the coiled tubing a; during the pipe laying process, the coiled tubing a is also often suddenly extracted due to the movement of the starting end, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the normal use of the coiled tubing a. Moreover, the coiled tubing a has a large diameter, and after the coiled tubing a is laid on the first layer of the drum support part 11, the second layer of coiled tubing a is compressed at the starting end due to the height difference between the first layer of coiled tubing a and the second layer of coiled tubing a, and the height difference is the diameter of the coiled tubing a, which easily causes the starting end of the coiled tubing a to be compressed, and thus deformed, resulting in the starting end of the coiled tubing a being unable to be used.

[0044] In the present application, the communication port 113 is provided on the support part 11 to communicate the outer surface 111 and the inner surface 112, the starting end of the coiled tubing a extends to the inner surface 112 side of the support part 11 through the communication port 113, and the starting end of the coiled tubing a is fixed by the fixing assembly 3, which can effectively prevent the coiled tubing a from being scattered during the pipe laying and storage process, and can also prevent the coiled tubing a from being suddenly extracted during the pipe laying process, thereby improving the use reliability and convenience. Moreover, the guide plate 2 guides the coiled tubing a, and the starting end of the coiled tubing a is guided to the inner surface 112 side of the support part 11, which can prevent the starting end of the coiled tubing a from being compressed and deformed by the second layer of coiled tubing a.

[0045] In some embodiments, the guide plate 2 and the outer surface 111 are smoothly transitioned.

[0046] In the present application, the guide plate 2 and the outer surface 111 of the support part 11 are smoothly transitioned, which can effectively guide the coiled tubing a along the arc, avoiding damage or affecting the pipe arrangement due to a large bending angle of the coiled tubing a.

[0047] Specifically, the guide plate 2 is a part of the support part 11, which is formed by slotting and bending on the support part 11, thereby ensuring the smooth transition of the guide plate 2 and the outer surface 111. Alternatively, the guide plate 2 can also be a separate arc-shaped plate, and the guide plate 2 is connected to the communication port 113 after the communication port 113 is formed on the support part 11.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 In some embodiments, the communication port 113 is arranged at one end of the support part 11 along the axial direction.

[0049] In the present application, since the coiled tubing a is wound and arranged on the support part 11 from one end along the axial direction, the communication port 113 is arranged at one end of the support part 11 along the axial direction, which facilitates the subsequent pipe arrangement. Moreover, arranging the communication port 113 at one end of the support part 11 along the axial direction allows the starting end of the coiled tubing a to be adjacent to one end of the shaft of the roller, thereby facilitating the fixation of the starting end of the coiled tubing a by the fixing assembly 3.

[0050] Alternatively, the communication port 113 can also be arranged at a position other than one end along the axial direction, which can also achieve the purpose of effectively fixing the starting end of the coiled tubing a.

[0051] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 3 includes a clamping plate 31 and a fastener 32.

[0052] The clamping plate 31 is connected to the inner surface 112 of the support part 11.

[0053] The fastener 32 is used for detachable connection with the starting end of the pipe cable, and the fastener 32 abuts against the clamping plate 31 to fix the starting end of the pipe cable to one side of the inner surface 112 of the support part 11.

[0054] In the present application, the fastener 32 is detachably connected with the starting end of the coiled tubing a, and during the pipe arrangement, the starting end of the coiled tubing a is first inserted through the communication port 113 and extends to one side of the inner surface 112 of the support part 11 along the guide plate 2, and then the fastener 32 is connected with the starting end of the coiled tubing a. The coiled tubing a itself has a certain rigidity, and the fastener 32 abuts against the clamping plate 31, thereby effectively fixing the starting end of the coiled tubing a, so that the starting end of the coiled tubing a is fixed to the roller body 1.

[0055] Optionally, the fixing assembly 3 can also directly adopt the fastener 32 to fix the starting end of the coiled tubing a, and then abut the fastener 32 with the inner surface 112 of the support part 11, thereby completing the fixing of the starting end of the coiled tubing a.

[0056] In some embodiments, the clamping plate 31 is provided with a clamping groove 311 for positioning the pipe cable.

[0057] In the present application, the clamping groove 311 on the clamping plate 31 is a dovetail groove, and the starting end of the coiled tubing a is located at the clamping groove 311, which can position the coiled tubing a and ensure the accuracy of the position of the starting end of the coiled tubing a, thereby determining the abutting position of the fastener 32 and the clamping plate 31.

[0058] In some embodiments, the fastener 32 has a fixing hole 321 through which the pipe cable passes, and the fastener 32 includes an adjusting part 322 for adjusting the aperture of the fixing hole 321.

[0059] As shown in Figure 8 In the present application, the starting end of the coiled tubing a passes through the fixing hole 321, and then the aperture of the fixing hole 321 is adjusted by the adjusting part 322, so that the aperture of the fixing hole 321 becomes smaller, thereby fixing the fastener 32 with the starting end of the coiled tubing a, and different diameters of the coiled tubing a can be fixed. When the fixing of the starting end of the coiled tubing a is to be released, the aperture of the fixing hole 321 is adjusted by the adjusting part 322 to be larger, so that the coiled tubing a is released from the fixing hole 321, and the starting end of the coiled tubing a is extracted from the fixing hole 321.

[0060] Specifically, the fastener 32 can be a wire rope clamp, a clamp, a fixing block, etc., which is not limited here, as long as the fastener 32 can fix the starting end of the coiled tubing a.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, in order to improve the protection of the starting end of the coiled tubing a, the fixing hole 321 of the fastener 32 is selected to be a circular hole, an elliptical hole or a circular slot hole, so as to increase the contact area with the starting end of the coiled tubing a and avoid uneven pressure on the outside of the coiled tubing a to cause deformation of the coiled tubing a.

[0062] In some embodiments, the roller further includes two guard plates 4 arranged on the inner surface 112 of the support part 11, and the two guard plates 4 are respectively connected with the two ends of the guide plate 2 along the axial direction of the roller, and the two guard plates 4 and the guide plate 2 enclose a channel for guiding the pipe cable.

[0063] In this application, guard plates 4 are provided on either side of the guide plate 2. These two guard plates 4 and the guide plate 2 enclose a channel for guiding the coiled tubing A. This reinforces the guide plate 2 and improves the structural strength of the support portion 11 at the starting end of the coiled tubing A. Furthermore, the guard plates 4 on either side provide forward and backward positioning of the coiled tubing A, ensuring that it remains within the channel, further enhancing the positioning of the starting end of the coiled tubing A.

[0064] In some embodiments, the width of the channel is equal to an integer multiple of the umbilical diameter.

[0065] In this application, the width of the channel can be equal to the diameter of the coiled tubing a, that is, one channel can accommodate one coiled tubing a. After the starting end of the coiled tubing a passes through the connecting port 113 to the inner surface 112 of the support portion 11, it will be out of the channel after being wound around the support portion 11 once. Figure 7 As shown, the channel width can also be equal to twice the diameter of the coiled tubing a. That is, two turns of coiled tubing a can be wound within one channel. After the starting end of the coiled tubing a extends through the connecting opening 113 to the side of the inner surface 112 of the support portion 11, and after wrapping around the support portion 11 once, the second turn remains wrapped around the channel and is arranged parallel to the first turn. Similarly, the channel width can also be equal to three or four times the diameter of the coiled tubing a. This effectively prevents the coiled tubing a from abutting against the edge of the connection opening 113 and the outer surface 111 during wrapping around the support portion 11, which could cause a dent. This effectively protects the starting end of the coiled tubing a.

[0066] Preferably, the width of the channel should not be too large. Generally, the channel can accommodate one or two coils of coiled tubing a.

[0067] In some embodiments, the width of the channel is 85 mm to 115 mm; or the width of the channel is 135 mm to 165 mm.

[0068] In this application, for coiled tubing A with a diameter of 1.000-2.000 inches, the spacing between the guard plates 4 should be between 85-115 mm. This effectively prevents the edges at the junction of the communication port 113 and the outer surface 111 from squeezing the coiled tubing A and causing it to dent. For coiled tubing A with a diameter of 2.375-3.500 inches, the spacing between the guard plates 4 should be between 135-165 mm. This effectively prevents the edges at the junction of the communication port 113 and the outer surface 111 from squeezing the coiled tubing A and causing it to dent.

[0069] In some embodiments, the drum body 1 further includes side plates 12 disposed at both axial ends of the support portion 11 .

[0070] In the application, the drum body 1 can limit the continuous oil pipe a wound on the supporting part 11 by arranging the side plates 12 on both ends of the supporting part 11 in the axial direction, so that the outer surface 111 of the supporting part 11 can wind the continuous oil pipe a in multiple layers, thereby improving the storage capacity of the continuous oil pipe a.

[0071] The drum can effectively fix the starting end of the continuous oil pipe a by passing the starting end of the pipe cable through the communication port 113 and guiding it to the inner surface 112 side of the supporting part 11 through the guide plate 2, and then fixing the starting end of the pipe cable through the fixing assembly 3, thereby avoiding the risk of sudden extraction when the continuous oil pipe a is scattered and inverted, and improving the convenience and reliability of the operation.

[0072] The application provides a continuous oil pipe device, which comprises a continuous oil pipe and the above drum, and the continuous oil pipe is wound on the drum.
