Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical design and manufacturing, specifically to an adjustable mechanical rotation safety limit device. Background Technology

[0002] A slewing mechanism is a common type of mechanical engineering device where the rotating part rotates around a center line to achieve rotational motion. It consists of a slewing bearing in the middle and connecting parts at both ends, with the desired rotation provided by a slewing drive. Automation tools in oil drilling and production equipment, such as iron drills, automatic hydraulic tongs, drill table robots, and centering robots, typically use slewing bearings directly. The lower end is fixed to a foundation via a base, and the middle part receives position commands from an encoder or directly drives a hydraulic motor or electric motor drive transmission pair to move various tools and equipment fixed on it, cooperating with other mechanisms to achieve operation in different working positions. Because oil drilling and production equipment is used in the open air, the oilfield site is exposed to harsh environments such as various muds and sludge. In addition, the operation of multiple pieces of equipment is characterized by compact structure and limited space. The slewing bearing frequently rotates forward, stops, and reverses during normal operation, which can easily lead to the cumulative error of the encoder that provides the slewing position command increasing or even failure. When operating manually, the sluggishness of the working parts can lead to inaccurate movements, resulting in collisions with other equipment or crushing of personnel and safety accidents. General-purpose automated tools lose their specific limit function after being replaced with other platforms or after maintenance. In particular, the maintenance and adjustment of the slewing structure on the derrick, which is more than ten meters high, is even more difficult. As a result, the positioning safety is poor after the oil drilling and production equipment is disabled during use, there is a large cumulative error due to repeated use, and it is inconvenient to adjust according to the use environment.
