Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of offshore oil drilling rig and workover equipment operation technology, specifically to an automated explosion-proof driller's cabin for marine applications. Background Technology
[0002] In the operation of automated offshore platforms, automated equipment for offshore oil drilling rigs and workover rigs is widely used. When operating offshore drilling and workover rigs, it is usually necessary to control the equipment. This control process requires a relatively stable and explosion-proof workspace. This workspace is the driller's cabin, a crucial component of the offshore drilling platform, directly impacting the safety and efficiency of drilling operations.
[0003] However, existing driller's cabins have some problems. First, they lack stability and cannot adapt to the complex changes in the marine environment. Offshore platforms often face harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds and high waves, which places higher demands on the structural stability of the driller's cabin. Second, their explosion-proof performance is not ideal and cannot meet the stringent safety standards for offshore oil drilling operations. During offshore drilling, flammable and explosive gases may be encountered; therefore, the driller's cabin must have excellent explosion-proof performance to ensure the safety of operators.
[0004] Furthermore, existing driller's cabins have a low level of automation and cannot fully meet the requirements of offshore platforms for automated equipment. With the continuous advancement of offshore oil extraction technology, higher demands are being placed on the automated control, information acquisition, and processing capabilities of the driller's cabin. Existing technologies struggle to achieve centralized control and real-time monitoring of multiple pieces of equipment, impacting operational efficiency and safety.
[0005] Finally, the existing ventilation system design in the driller's cabin is inadequate, making it difficult to guarantee the safety and comfort of the internal environment. In the marine environment, harmful gases can easily accumulate inside the driller's cabin, and if the ventilation system does not work effectively, it will pose a threat to the health and safety of the operators. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical needs, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated, explosion-proof driller's cabin for marine drilling and workover rig operations. This cabin allows the driller to control the equipment from within the cabin, providing strong stability and explosion-proof performance, and meeting the requirements of marine platforms for automated equipment driller's cabins.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a marine automated explosion-proof driller's cabin, comprising a driller's cabin body, wherein an operating platform, a pressure instrument box, an explosion-proof electrical control box, and a buffer room are respectively arranged near the inner side of the driller's cabin body; an instrument LCD screen is provided at the front end of the operating platform, and an automated toolbox and an industrial monitor are respectively provided above the operating platform; a seat is provided at the rear end of the operating platform; the operating platform is equipped with various control elements, and various driller operations are performed by collecting and feeding back external information through the automated toolbox, industrial monitor, instrument LCD screen, pressure instrument box, and electrical control box; the driller's cabin body is internally sealed and externally connected through air ducts. The system is equipped with an automatic ventilation system and an exhaust port near the air duct. The automatic ventilation system includes a suction filter, an air valve, and a marine explosion-proof centrifugal fan connected in sequence. The suction filter has an air intake, and the marine explosion-proof centrifugal fan is connected to the air duct. The automatic ventilation system is equipped with a detection and control system inside the driller's cabin, which includes an audible and visual alarm. The explosion-proof electrical control box also contains a positive pressure control system. This positive pressure control system identifies the positive pressure value inside the driller's cabin and transmits it to the detection and control system. The detection and control system controls the audible and visual alarm to sound an alarm when the positive pressure reaches the upper or lower limit, and simultaneously switches the automatic ventilation system on and off as needed.
[0008] Furthermore, the driller's cabin is equipped with a crash protection net and an explosion-proof air conditioner.
[0009] The buffer room is connected to the driller's cabin by an inner door and to the outside of the driller's cabin by an outer door. The buffer room is also equipped with a pry bar foot pedal and a lighting switch.
[0010] Fire extinguishers are provided between the control panel and the buffer room.
[0011] The top of the driller's cabin is equipped with a roof horn, lighting controlled by a lighting switch, and inlet / outlet ports.
[0012] The control panel is provided in multiple ways, one of which has a windshield at the front end and a windshield wiper installed on the windshield.
[0013] The marine automated explosion-proof driller's cabin provided in this utility model provides auxiliary functions for driller operations by setting up a driller's cabin body, explosion-proof air conditioning, stainless steel anti-collision net, windshield, wipers, seats and other cabin facilities. The driller's cabin is equipped with multiple operating consoles, and various operating control elements are installed on the operating consoles. Operators control the marine automated equipment through operating control elements to realize the required drilling and well repair operations. The automated toolbox, industrial monitor, instrument LCD screen, pressure instrument box and electrical control box set in the cabin provide external information collection and feedback for driller operations in the driller's cabin. The driller makes judgments and issues operating instructions based on the collected information.
[0014] The explosion-proof function of this invention is achieved through an automatic ventilation system and a sealed driller's cabin. The ventilation system consists of an air intake filter, air valves, a marine explosion-proof centrifugal fan, air ducts, and an in-cabin detection and control system. The ventilation system features a series of safety interlock functions, including automatic air exchange before startup, automatic power-on signal upon completion of air exchange, positive pressure protection upper and lower limit alarms, and automatic low pressure warnings requiring power cut-off. When the positive pressure in the cabin is below the lower positive pressure limit (25Pa), the "lower pressure limit" indicator light illuminates, the audible and visual alarm sounds, and personnel are reminded to check the cabin seal and whether the door is closed. When the positive pressure is above the upper positive pressure limit (200Pa), the "upper pressure limit" indicator light illuminates, the audible and visual alarm sounds, and the automatic exhaust device opens. On-duty personnel can also adjust the exhaust valve to release air. The positive pressure control system outputs normally open contacts for power supply, high pressure, and low pressure, which users can use to activate an audible signal when the positive pressure reaches the upper or lower positive pressure limit. The explosion-proof fan is audio-controlled, allowing manual adjustment of the airflow to ensure room pressure.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it effectively solves the problems of insufficient stability of the driller's cabin, unsatisfactory explosion-proof performance, low degree of automation and imperfect ventilation system in the prior art, and has the advantages of stable structure, excellent explosion-proof performance, high degree of automation and perfect ventilation system.

The detection and control system controls the audible and visual alarm to sound an alarm when the positive pressure reaches the upper or lower limit, and simultaneously switches the automatic ventilation system 12 on and off as needed.
[0021] By installing an operating console 6, a pressure instrument box 9, an explosion-proof electrical control box, and a buffer room 11 inside the driller's cabin 2, and by equipping the operating console 6 with various control elements and auxiliary equipment, effective acquisition and feedback of external information can be achieved, enabling various drilling operations. The airtight design of the driller's cabin 2, along with the external automatic ventilation system 12 and exhaust vents 21, ensures the stability and safety of the internal environment. The automatic ventilation system 12, through the cooperation of an air intake filter 22, an air valve 23, and a marine explosion-proof centrifugal fan 24, effectively circulates and filters air. The combination of the audible and visual alarm of the detection and control system and the positive pressure control system ensures that the positive pressure value inside the driller's cabin 2 is always within a safe range, thereby improving explosion-proof performance.
[0022] By installing various control elements and auxiliary equipment inside the driller's cabin 2, effective acquisition and feedback of external information are achieved, enabling a variety of driller operations and solving the problems of insufficient stability and explosion-proof performance of existing driller's cabins. The combination of the automatic ventilation system 12 and the detection and control system ensures the stability and safety of the internal environment of the driller's cabin 2, improves explosion-proof performance, and thus better meets and adapts to the requirements of offshore platforms for automated equipment driller's cabins.
[0023] To enhance the safety and adaptability of the driller's cabin, an improved design is proposed, which includes installing a crash barrier 4 and an explosion-proof air conditioner 1 around the perimeter of the driller's cabin body 2.
