Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drilling machine, especially relates to a drill rod clamping device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the drilling process of oil, natural gas or groundwater resources, it needs to be repeatedly tripped, the drill rod is heavy, and only manpower cannot achieve quick installation and disassembly, so the drill rod needs to be clamped and fixed by the clamping device on the drilling machine, and then the installation mechanism on the drilling machine is used to install and disassemble the drill rod, so that the installation and disassembly of the drill rod can be easily realized.

[0003] In the prior art, a vertical shaft drilling machine drill rod grabbing manipulator is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN222328198U, which comprises a telescopic arm extending in the horizontal direction and a clamping jaw that can be opened and closed. The telescopic arm comprises a first arm and a second arm that can be axially telescoped and inserted into the first arm. The clamping jaw comprises a first clamping jaw body fixed to the end of the first arm and a second clamping jaw body rotatably connected to the first clamping jaw body and / or the first arm. The side walls of the first and second clamping jaw bodies each have an arc-shaped slot. The rotational axis of the second clamping jaw body is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The clamping jaw is opened and closed by rotating the second clamping jaw body relative to the first clamping jaw body. When the clamping jaw is opened, the first and second arc-shaped slots are open to allow the drill rod to enter. When the clamping jaw is closed, the arc-shaped slots are connected in series to form a clamping hole that clamps the drill rod. A first elastic element is provided on the inner wall of the first arc-shaped slot. When the clamping jaw is closed, the first elastic element is squeezed between the drill rod and the first arc-shaped slot. When the clamping jaw is opened, the first elastic element can rebound to allow the drill rod to easily disengage. The opening and closing of the two clamping jaws of the vertical shaft drilling machine drill rod grabbing manipulator presented by the above-mentioned utility model are controlled by a hydraulic cylinder branch line drive. However, only one of the two clamping jaws can rotate, the opening degree is small, it is not convenient to directly grab the drill rod, and the clamping is not tight enough due to the linear drive of the hydraulic cylinder. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a drill rod clamping device to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0005] A drill rod clamping device, characterized in that it comprises a bracket, the end of the bracket is fixedly connected with a gripper, the gripper comprises an assembly frame, two clamping jaws are rotatably connected to the assembly frame, the two clamping jaws are symmetrically distributed, an operating cavity is formed in the adjacent side of the clamping jaw, a telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the telescopic cylinder can simultaneously extend into and press the operating cavities of the two clamping jaws when it extends.

[0006] Preferably, the two ends of the bracket are fixedly connected with grippers, and the telescopic cylinder is a double-headed telescopic cylinder that can simultaneously drive the clamping jaws on the two grippers at the two ends.

[0007] Preferably, the assembling frame is U-shaped, comprising a connecting plate in the middle and support plates on both sides, two symmetric through holes are opened on both sides of the end of the support plate away from the assembling connecting piece, rotating shafts are connected in the through holes, the clamping jaws are sleeved on the rotating shafts, and a through hole is further arranged in the middle of the support plate, which is correspondingly arranged with the telescopic cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating hole is opened in the middle of the clamping jaw, an arc-shaped gripping part is arranged at the front end of the clamping jaw, the running cavity is opened at the rear end of the clamping jaw, the running cavity is a semi-conical cavity, the gripping part and the running cavity are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating hole, and the gripping part and the running cavity are both arranged on the adjacent side of the other clamping jaw which is symmetrically distributed.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping jaw and the assembling frame are further connected through a spring, the elastic force of the spring makes the gripping parts of the two clamping jaws on the same assembling frame move away from each other, and simultaneously makes the running cavities of the two adjacent clamping jaws move close to each other.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the telescopic rod in the telescopic cylinder is conical and corresponds to the running cavity.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are as follows: In this device, the two grippers of the same assembly frame are open under the action of springs. The grippers use a rotating hole as a lever and can rotate around a pivot in the rotating hole. The spring keeps the grippers open. When the telescopic cylinder extends, the ends of the telescopic rod can simultaneously enter the operating chambers of the two grippers. The tapered telescopic rod can extend along the operating chamber into the gap between the two grippers, thus separating the tail ends of the two grippers. Simultaneously, under the action of the levers, the head ends of the two grippers, i.e., the gripping parts, can move closer together to form a grasping shape, thereby enabling the telescopic cylinder to control the gripper. When the telescopic cylinder retracts the telescopic rod, the two grippers in the gripper will return to their open position under the action of springs. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder, the gripper's grasping action can be controlled. Both ends of the telescopic cylinder are equipped with… Equipped with grippers, the two grippers can be controlled by a double-headed telescopic cylinder for a more secure grip. The telescopic cylinder's operating direction is perpendicular to the gripper's direction. The gripping force is transmitted through the conical telescopic rod pressing against the two grippers, resulting in a tighter grip and improved handling. Both grippers are movable, allowing for a wider opening angle and easier drill rod retrieval. When the telescopic cylinder extends, it simultaneously enters and presses against the operating chambers of both grippers. The telescopic cylinder applies vertical force to drive the two grippers to clamp. In its natural open state, the grippers allow the drill rod to enter between them. The extension of the telescopic cylinder further drives the two grippers to clamp, thus retrieving the drill rod. The bidirectional piston rod simultaneously drives both grippers for a more secure grip on the drill rod. The simultaneous movement of the two grippers and their wider opening angle facilitate drill rod retrieval. Attached Figure Description
