Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of onshore oil and gas drilling and production equipment technology, specifically a crane for an onshore drilling rig with adjustable wellbore center. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing land drilling rigs use fixed pulley systems, requiring adjustments to the wellbore center indirectly by increasing or decreasing the thickness of the gaskets on the derrick connecting flanges. This process is cumbersome and requires hoisting equipment. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to causing skew and deformation of the main derrick structure, affecting equipment lifespan and operational safety. Furthermore, traditional adjustment methods cannot respond to wellbore center offsets in real time, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-efficiency drilling. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a land drilling rig crane with adjustable wellbore center, which can directly adjust the position of the pulley block through hydraulic drive without changing the derrick structure, thus achieving rapid and precise adjustment of the wellbore center.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a land drilling rig trolley with adjustable wellbore center, comprising a trolley frame, a pulley block, a rope pulley, and an adjustment mechanism. The trolley frame includes a main beam with two guide rails symmetrically arranged on it. The pulley block is mounted on the trolley frame via the adjustment mechanism, which includes a longitudinal adjustment plate and a transverse adjustment plate. The short sides of the longitudinal adjustment plate are embedded in the guide rails of the main beam and connected to a longitudinal adjustment cylinder. One end of the longitudinal adjustment cylinder is fixed to the longitudinal adjustment plate via an ear plate, a pin, and a pin, and the other end is fixed to the trolley frame via an ear plate, a pin, and a pin.

[0005] The lateral adjustment plate is slidably installed in the lateral guide rail provided on the longitudinal adjustment plate and is connected to the lateral adjustment cylinder. One end of the lateral adjustment cylinder is fixed to the longitudinal adjustment plate by a lug, a pin and a pin, and the other end is fixed to the lateral adjustment plate by a lug, a pin and a pin.

[0006] The main shaft of the pulley block is fixed in the round hole of the horizontal adjustment plate, and the rope-reversing pulley is installed on the top of the overhead crane frame.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the pulley block.

[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal adjustment cylinder drives the longitudinal adjustment plate to move longitudinally along the guide rail to adjust the longitudinal center position of the pulley block.

[0009] Preferably, the lateral adjustment cylinder drives the lateral adjustment plate to move along the lateral guide rail of the longitudinal adjustment plate to adjust the lateral center position of the pulley block.

[0010] Preferably, the ear plate, pin and pin are connected by a detachable hinge structure.

[0011] Preferably, the total weight of the crane frame, pulley block and adjustment mechanism does not exceed 10% of that of a traditional crane structure.

[0012] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0013] Longitudinal adjustment: The longitudinal adjustment cylinder is extended and retracted by the hydraulic system, which drives the longitudinal adjustment plate to move up and down along the guide rail on the main beam of the overhead crane frame, thereby adjusting the longitudinal position of the pulley block.

[0014] Lateral adjustment: Synchronous control of the extension and retraction of the lateral adjustment cylinder drives the lateral adjustment plate to move left and right along the guide rail of the longitudinal adjustment plate, adjusting the lateral position of the pulley block.

[0015] Center calibration: By coordinating the extension and retraction of the longitudinal and transverse hydraulic cylinders, the main shaft center of the pulley block is precisely aligned with the wellbore center, thus completing the wellbore center calibration.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) This utility model directly adjusts the position of the pulley block by hydraulic drive, without disassembling the derrick or adding or removing shims, which effectively improves the work efficiency and has high adjustment accuracy.

[0018] (2) During the adjustment process, the main structure of the derrick does not change in length or tilt, thus avoiding permanent deformation caused by traditional methods and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0019] (3) The total weight of the adjustment mechanism of this utility model increases by only 8%-10%, without any additional load on the hoisting of the derrick, and the modular design is compatible with various drilling rig models, reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description
