Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drilling technology, specifically relating to a drilling additive mixing and adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] Oil and gas field development is a complex and comprehensive project consisting of exploration, drilling, downhole operations, oil production, gathering and transportation, etc. Each stage of the operation requires a large amount of chemicals. Drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, plays a role in breaking rock cores, carrying rock cuttings, lubricating and cooling drill bits, balancing formation pressure, and protecting the wellbore. Maintaining good mud performance is an important means to improve drilling speed and ensure downhole safety, and treatment agents are the key to ensuring mud optimization.
[0003] Drilling aids come in liquid and powder form. Generally, powdered drilling aids are usually packaged in bags. When adding drilling aids, if a whole bag of drilling aids is poured directly into the mixing tank, the drilling aids will clump together and will not be easy to mix evenly. If they are added in batches, it will increase the workload and reduce the efficiency of the work.
[0004] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drilling additive mixing and adjusting device that eliminates the need for multiple additions of drilling additives, improves stirring efficiency, and makes it easier to uniformly mix drilling additives in drilling fluid.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A drilling additive mixing and adjusting device includes a mixing tank, a sealing cover, and a mixing assembly. A feeding component is installed on the sealing cover. A sleeve for mounting the feeding component is provided on the sealing cover. The feeding component includes a feeding column movably installed inside the sleeve and a funnel located at the top of the feeding column. Multiple spiral feeding channels are formed inside the feeding column. The top of the feeding column has a downwardly concave arc surface. A support plate is formed on the outer wall of the sleeve, and an mounting plate is formed on the side wall of the feeding column. A support spring is provided between the support plate and the mounting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate is also equipped with a vibration motor. The vibration motor can prevent drilling additives from clogging the feed channel.
[0009] Furthermore, the system also includes a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the mixing tank. The cleaning mechanism includes an annular pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cap and several high-pressure nozzles disposed on the annular pipe, the high-pressure nozzles facing the inner wall of the mixing tank. A water inlet pipe is also provided on the annular pipe, passing through the upper surface of the sealing cap. The cleaning mechanism can be used to clean the mixing tank.
[0010] Furthermore, the mixing assembly includes a mixing shaft and a drive motor for rotating the mixing shaft; the mixing shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner bottom wall of the mixing tank, and the drive motor is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mixing tank; the mixing shaft is provided with multiple rows of mixing rods, each row having multiple mixing rods arranged at equal intervals, and the mixing rods are inclined. The mixing assembly allows for more uniform and efficient mixing of drilling additives and drilling fluid.
[0011] Furthermore, the stirring shaft is also equipped with scrapers that slide in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank. The upper and lower ends of the scrapers are provided with connecting rods connected to the stirring shaft. There are multiple scrapers, each corresponding to a row of stirring rods, and the outer ends of the stirring rods are connected to the scrapers. The scrapers can be used to remove residue remaining on the inner wall of the mixing tank.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing cap is detachably connected to the mixing tank via bolts. Connecting the sealing cap to the mixing tank with bolts facilitates maintenance and repair of the components inside the mixing tank.
[0013] Furthermore, an inlet pipe for adding drilling fluid is formed on the side wall of the sleeve; a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank; and support feet are also provided on the outer side wall of the mixing tank. The support feet can keep the mixing tank stable.
[0014] With the above structure, the drilling additive mixing and adjusting device of this utility model, compared with the prior art, has a feeding component on the sealing cover. When adding drilling additive, a bag of drilling additive can be poured into the funnel at one time. Under the action of the spiral feeding channel, the drilling additive will gradually and slowly fall into the mixing tank. At this time, the mixing component is also constantly stirring, so that the drilling additive can be more easily and evenly mixed with the drilling fluid, improving the mixing efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers.
