Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil and gas well drilling and extraction technology, and more specifically to a special lifting ring for an external flat-type water-proof casing. Background Technology

[0002] Riser casing is the casing lowered into the shallow seabed from an offshore drilling platform. It primarily serves as the load-bearing structure at the wellhead, while also isolating seawater, withstanding lateral loads from sea ice or waves, forming a drilling fluid circulation channel, protecting the wellbore, the wellhead, and internal drilling and production facilities. Under normal operating conditions, the outer diameter of the riser casing couplings and joints is larger than the diameter of the connected pipe body. Therefore, offshore drilling platforms often use a combination of top drive and lifting clamps for hoisting and lowering casing and riser casing. However, for some special well conditions, where wellbore size limitations prevent the lowering of couplings or joints larger than the pipe body diameter, the lifting clamps used under normal operating conditions are not suitable for external flat riser casing joints. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct thorough research on the structural form, mechanical properties, and riser casing string of external flat riser casing joints, and to develop a dedicated lifting ring for external flat riser casing with practical application value. Utility Model Content

[0020] Example 1

[0021] The special lifting ring for external flat water-proof sleeve includes: a first body 1, a second body 2 and a lifting handle 3. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are each provided with one or more lifting handles 3. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are connected at the ends to form an openable and closable closed ring structure. The free ends of the first body 1 and the second body 2 are detachably and fixedly connected by a fixing device.

[0022] The first main body 1 and the second main body 2 have the same structure, both being arc-shaped.

[0023] Both the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 have protrusion structures 4 on their inner sidewalls. The protrusion structures 4 on the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 cooperate with each other to form an annular protrusion structure 4.

[0024] The number of boss structures 4 in the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 is 2 sets.

[0025] The boss structure 4 of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 has the same structure, both being boss structures 4 with a right-angled trapezoidal cross section.

[0026] The first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are respectively provided with a first cylindrical boss 101 and a second cylindrical boss 201 at their hinge ends. Both the first cylindrical boss 101 and the second cylindrical boss 201 are provided with connecting holes, and the two connecting holes are hinged by bolts.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This device achieves hinged connection by setting bolts on the connecting holes of the first cylindrical boss 101 and the second cylindrical boss 201, allowing it to open and close to form a closed annular structure. In use, the components can be delivered to the construction site for assembly. After connecting the first main body 1 and the second main body 2, they are merged to form an annular sleeve structure, which is then fixed using a fixing device to the corresponding lifting ring groove position of the water-tight sleeve joint that needs to be lifted. The user lifts the device using the lifting handle 3.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to increase friction, a boss structure 4 is provided. The boss structure 4 adopts a two-group design, and its cross-section adopts a right-angled trapezoidal cross-section, which is more conducive to stress.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Based on Embodiment 1, the fastener includes a first connecting protrusion 5 and a second connecting protrusion 6. The first connecting protrusion 5 and the second connecting protrusion 6 are respectively disposed on the first body 1 and the second body 2. Both the first connecting protrusion 5 and the second connecting protrusion 6 are provided with connecting holes. Fixing bolts 7 are detachably provided in the connecting holes of the first connecting protrusion 5 and the second connecting protrusion 6.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the fastener achieves a detachable connection by using connecting holes in the first connecting protrusion 5 and the second connecting protrusion 6 to cooperate with the fixing bolt 7.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, the fixture includes a limiting step 8 and a stop hook 9. The limiting step 8 is fixedly mounted on the first main body 1, and the base of the stop hook 9 is mounted on the second main body 2. One end of the hook body of the stop hook 9 is rotatably connected to the base of the stop hook 9, and the other end of the hook body of the stop hook 9 is matched with the limiting step 8. The hook body of the stop hook 9 and the base of the stop hook 9 are respectively provided with limiting grooves 10, and a stop pin is detachably provided in the limiting groove 10.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment differs from embodiment 2 in that it uses a combination of a limiting step 8 and a stop hook 9 for fixation. The hook body of the stop hook 9 can rotate on the base of the stop hook 9. When the head of the hook body hooks the limiting step 8, a stop pin is inserted into the limiting groove 10. The stop pin passes through the limiting groove 10 provided on the base and the hook body of the stop hook 9, limiting the hook body and the base and preventing the hook body from rotating, thus achieving the locking of the limiting step 8 and the stop hook 9.

[0035] Furthermore, a connecting gripper 11 is rotatably mounted on the base of the stop hook 9. The connecting gripper 11 has a limiting groove 10 that matches the limiting groove 10 on the stop hook 9. The connecting gripper 11 is used by the user when assembling the first body 1 and the second body 2 into a ring structure. The user moves the free end of the second body 2 by gripping the connecting gripper 11. For ease of fixation, the connecting gripper 11 also has a limiting groove 10, allowing a stop pin to be inserted into it, thus simultaneously limiting the position of the connecting gripper 11.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
