Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a dual-cylinder safety lifting system, belonging to the field of oil and gas well pressurized operation devices. Background Technology
[0002] Oil and gas well pressurized operations equipment is a device used to perform downhole operations under pressure in oil and gas wells. Because oil and gas well operations, especially pressurized operations, are often accompanied by high-pressure toxic, flammable and explosive gases, the requirements for equipment safety and operational safety are particularly high.
[0003] In recent years, how to avoid safety accidents such as pipe flying and pipe falling during operation of live-line working equipment due to sudden situations has become a key research focus for equipment manufacturers. The lifting system of live-line working equipment is the core component of oil and gas well live-line working equipment. The reliability of the lifting system during lifting and pressing is a prerequisite for ensuring operational safety. The presence of high-pressure gas in the well will exert an upward force on the tubing. When the upward force is greater than the weight of the tubing, the tubing will move upward, resulting in pipe flying (this state is called the pipe-light state). The presence of high-pressure gas in the well will exert an upward force on the tubing. When the upward force is less than the weight of the tubing, the tubing will move downward, resulting in pipe falling (this state is called the pipe-heavy state). When there is a leak in the external oil circuit of the lifting cylinder (pipe burst, system depressurization, etc.), safety problems such as cylinder stall may occur, posing a threat to the safe operation of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, a safe and reliable dual-cylinder safety lifting system needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0021] See Figure 1 A dual-cylinder safety lifting system includes two lifting cylinders 1, a pipeline fixing mechanism, and a mechanical forced synchronization mechanism 2. The two ends of the mechanical forced synchronization mechanism 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the output ends of the two lifting cylinders 1. The pipeline fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the mechanical forced synchronization mechanism 2. The system is characterized in that a return oil back pressure remote control valve is provided on the hydraulic oil circuit of the lifting cylinder 1 to regulate the pressure inside the lifting cylinder 1, so that the lifting cylinder 1 moves stably.
[0022] Specifically, the lifting cylinder 1 drives the mechanical forced synchronization mechanism 2 to move up and down, which in turn drives the hydraulic tubing to move up and down; at the same time, the mechanical forced synchronization mechanism 2 is connected to the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 1, so that the two lifting cylinders move up and down synchronously.
[0023] The remote control valve for return oil back pressure includes a remote control relief valve 6 and a check valve 7, which are connected in parallel in the hydraulic oil circuit.
[0024] Specifically, when oil enters the lifting cylinder 1 chamber, the one-way valve 7 opens, and the remote control relief valve 6 is in a short-circuit state and does not work; when oil returns to the chamber, the one-way valve 7 closes. When the return oil back pressure exceeds the set pressure of the remote control relief valve 6, the circuit is connected, and the system returns oil through the remote control relief valve 6, so that the cylinder can move up and down.
[0025] The lifting cylinder 1 is equipped with a return oil back pressure remote control valve on both the rod chamber and the rodless chamber of the hydraulic oil circuit.
[0026] The lifting system also includes a first adjustable relief valve 4, a second adjustable relief valve 5, and a hydraulic control mechanism 3. The hydraulic control mechanism 3 includes a hydraulic source and a reversing mechanism, and the output end of the hydraulic source is connected to the input end of the reversing mechanism.
[0027] Specifically, the reversing mechanism is an electro-hydraulic reversing valve. The electro-hydraulic reversing valve achieves reversing by having the valve core move axially within the valve body, thereby connecting or disconnecting the corresponding oil circuit.
[0028] The remote-controlled relief valves 6 of the rod chambers of the two lifting cylinders 1 are connected through a first oil circuit. A first adjustable relief valve 4 is provided on the first oil circuit. The first adjustable relief valve 4 is used to adjust the return oil back pressure of the remote-controlled relief valve of the rod chamber of the cylinder. The rod chambers of the two lifting cylinders 1 and the hydraulic control mechanism form a first hydraulic circuit through the remote-controlled relief valve 6 and the first adjustable relief valve 4.
[0029] The two rodless chamber remote control relief valves 6 of the two lifting cylinders 1 are connected through a second oil circuit. A second adjustable relief valve 5 is provided on the second oil circuit. The second adjustable relief valve 5 is used to adjust the return oil back pressure of the rodless chamber remote control relief valve of the cylinder. The rodless chamber of the two lifting cylinders 1 and the hydraulic control mechanism form a second hydraulic circuit through the remote control relief valve 6 and the second adjustable relief valve 5.
[0030] Specifically, under heavy pipe conditions, the return oil back pressure of the rodless chamber can be adjusted to a level higher than the cylinder's bearing pressure via the second adjustable relief valve 5; under light pipe conditions, the return oil back pressure of the rod chamber can be adjusted to a level higher than the pressure required for the cylinder to withstand the upward force via the first adjustable relief valve 4; and this value can be changed in real time depending on the number of pipes lifted or lowered; since the remote relief valves 6 of the upper and lower chambers of the lifting cylinder are both installed inside the lifting cylinder 1, this can ensure that the cylinder is always in a stable state, hovering at a certain position or moving at a constant speed, thus structurally avoiding instability or stalling of the cylinder due to pipe rupture, valve leakage, etc.
[0031] The forced synchronization mechanism 2 includes a lifting plate, and one end of each of the two lifting cylinders 1 is fixedly connected to both ends of the lifting plate.
[0032] The pipe fixing mechanism includes a load-bearing slip 8 and an anti-top slip 9;
[0033] The load-bearing slip 8 and the anti-top slip 9 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the lifting plate.
[0034] The above description is merely a few embodiments of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Although this application discloses preferred embodiments as described above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application using the disclosed technical content are equivalent to equivalent implementation cases and fall within the scope of the technical solution.
