AI Technical Summary
The floating devices of existing deep well drilling rigs are prone to bolt stripping or breakage when subjected to axial loads, drilling torque, and drilling fluid pressure, leading to safety accidents.
The flange end face of the connecting column and end cover is designed as an inclined surface and is connected with countersunk screws. A clamp is added to abut against the inclined surface of the flange. The axial force is distributed by the boss of the clamp, which reduces the stress on the screws.
This improves the reliability of the floating device, avoids screw damage, and enhances connection strength and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a floating device for a clamp-type deep well drilling rig. Background Technology
[0002] Deep well drilling rigs are mechanical devices used in exploration or mineral resource development to drive drill strings underground and obtain physical geological data. In actual use, the drill strings often need to penetrate to depths of hundreds or even thousands of meters. To protect the drill pipe threads, a floating device is installed on the drill string. This floating device also bears the axial loads, drilling torque, and drilling fluid pressure brought about by drilling operations, as well as eliminating the impact of drill string vibration on the power head. Therefore, the overall structural strength and connection strength of the floating device are particularly important in the equipment.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 201620797962.9 discloses a floating device for deep well drilling rigs, which is a commonly used structure on the market. Its floating sleeve and end cap form a floating cavity, and the floating core tube can slide axially in the floating sleeve. The floating core tube is connected to the floating sleeve through a spline structure, so that it has a certain displacement margin while transmitting torque. When the drill bit is lifted from the ground, the floating core tube and the drill bit on it are pulled upward by the end cap. That is, the upward pulling force of the drill rod and the downward gravity and friction of the drill bit are all acting on the end cap. However, the end cap and the floating sleeve are only fixedly connected by bolts. Under large forces, the bolts are very prone to stripping or even breaking, which can lead to safety accidents. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a highly reliable floating device for a clamp-type deep well drilling rig.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A floating device for a clamp-type deep well drilling rig includes a connecting column, a floating sleeve connected to the connecting column, an end cap connected to the other end of the floating sleeve, a floating mandrel slidably connected inside the floating sleeve, a clamping ring jointly surrounding the connecting column and the end cap, a flange one connecting the connecting column to the floating sleeve, and a flange two connecting the end cap to the floating sleeve, both flange one and flange two having inclined end faces away from the floating sleeve, the thickness of the outer end of flange one and flange two being less than the thickness of their inner end, and the clamping ring simultaneously engaging with the inclined surfaces of flange one and flange two.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the clamp includes two semi-circular clamps, the cross-section of the semi-circular clamps is semi-circular, the two semi-circular clamps can be assembled into a complete ring structure, and a boss is provided on both axial end faces of the semi-circular clamps. The bosses extend toward the axis, and the end faces of the bosses facing the semi-circular clamps are set as inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the bosses abut against the inclined surfaces of flange one or flange two.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a fastening end is provided on each of the two radial end faces of the semi-circular hoop, the fastening ends of the two semi-circular hoops that are spliced together are in contact with each other, and the two fastening ends that are in contact with each other are fixed by bolts.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: both flange one and flange two are connected to the floating sleeve by screws, and the screws are countersunk screws.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a floating cavity is provided inside the floating sleeve, a spline groove is provided on the inner wall of the floating sleeve, the spline groove is provided inside the floating cavity, and a spline is provided on the outer wall of the floating mandrel, the spline sliding in the spline groove.
[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

After assembly, additional clamps are added to the connecting column and end cap.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0022] A floating device for a clamp-type deep well drilling rig includes a connecting column 1, a floating sleeve 2 connected to the connecting column 1, and an end cap 3 connected to the other end of the floating sleeve 2. The end of the connecting column 1 connected to the floating sleeve 2 is a flange 11, and the end of the end cap 3 connected to the floating sleeve 2 is a flange 31. Both flange 11 and flange 31 are connected to the floating sleeve 2 by screws 5, which are countersunk screws. The torque on the connecting column 1 is transmitted to the floating sleeve 2 and the end cap 3 through the screws 5.
[0023] The floating sleeve 2 is provided with a floating cavity 7, and a floating mandrel 4 is slidably connected inside the floating sleeve 2. A spline groove 21 is provided on the inner wall of the floating sleeve 2, and the spline groove 21 is located in the floating cavity 7. A spline 41 is provided on the outer wall of the floating mandrel 4, and the spline 41 slides in the spline groove 21. The torque on the floating sleeve 2 is transmitted to the floating mandrel 4 through the spline 41 and the spline groove 21. The floating mandrel 4 can slide axially in the floating cavity 7, thereby protecting the drill pipe thread.
[0024] The connecting column 1 and the end cap 3 are both surrounded by a clamp 6;
[0025] The clamp 6 includes two semi-circular clamps 61. The cross-section of the semi-circular clamp 61 is semi-circular. The two semi-circular clamps 61 can be assembled into a complete ring structure. Both axial end faces of the semi-circular clamp 61 are provided with bosses 62. The bosses 62 extend towards the axis, and the inward end face of the bosses 62 is set as a slope.
[0026] Both flange 11 and flange 2 31 have inclined ends on the side away from floating sleeve 2. The inclined surfaces of flange 11 and flange 2 31 correspond to the inclined surfaces of boss 62. After clamp 6 is installed, the inclined surfaces of the two bosses 62 abut against the inclined surfaces of the corresponding flange 11 or flange 2 31. That is, clamp 6 can directly press the connecting column 1 and end cap 3 together. When lifting the drill bit, the upward pulling force on the connecting column 1 and the downward resistance on the floating mandrel 4 are both applied to the inclined surfaces at both ends of clamp 6, thereby reducing the stress on screw 5, avoiding damage to screw 5, and improving the overall reliability of the device.
[0027] Both radial end faces of the semi-ring 61 are provided with fastening ends 63. The fastening ends 63 of the two semi-ring 61 are fitted together and fixed by bolts, so that the two semi-ring 61 press against each other to form a complete ring structure, thereby promoting the uniform distribution of force acting on the inclined surface of the boss 62 and reducing damage to the connection surface. Both flange 11 and flange 31 have a structure that is thin on the outside and thick on the inside, which facilitates the installation of the clamp 6.
[0028] Specifically, the flange end faces of the connecting column 1 and end cover 3 are changed to inclined surfaces, and the screws 5 connecting the flange and the floating sleeve 2 are set as countersunk screws. After assembly, an additional clamp 6 is added to the connecting column 1 and end cover 3. The bosses 62 at both ends of the clamp 6 abut against the inclined surfaces of the flange, so that when the drill bit is lifted upward, the axial force is applied to the bosses 62 at both ends of the clamp 6, which reduces the stress on the screws 5, avoids damage to the screws 5, and improves reliability.
