[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 ;
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] This utility model proposes a gripping device for oil casing coupling, including: a cross positioning frame 1, four L-shaped connecting blocks are welded around the center of the cross positioning frame 1, and four L-shaped support rods 104 are welded around the top of the four L-shaped connecting blocks.
[0043] An installation ring 105 is welded to the top of the four L-shaped support rods 104, and a drive motor 4 is threadedly fastened to the top of the installation ring 105; four U-shaped lifting frames 106 are welded around the vertical rod section of the four L-shaped support rods 104, and a circular connecting block is welded to the first end of the horizontal rod section at the top of the four U-shaped lifting frames 106, and a lifting ring 103 is welded to the top of the circular connecting block. The lifting ring 103 is hooked and connected to the hook on the external lifting equipment.
[0044] The drive motor 4 is located inside the shielded space formed by the four U-shaped suspension frames 106 surrounding it;
[0045] Four U-shaped hanging frames 106 surround a cage-shaped protective frame. The drive motor 4 is built into the cage-shaped protective frame. The cage-shaped protective frame can protect the drive motor 4 from impact. Compared with the existing technology, it avoids the direct exposure of the drive motor 4 and helps to reduce the probability of the drive motor 4 being damaged by impact.
[0046] The lifting and pulling force of the hoisting equipment is transmitted to the four L-shaped support rods 104 through the four U-shaped lifting frames 106, and then to the cross positioning frame 1 through the four L-shaped support rods 104. Thus, the four U-shaped lifting frames 106 can be used to transmit the lifting and pulling force of the external hoisting equipment to the entire gripping device. This allows the four U-shaped lifting frames 106 to be used for anti-collision protection of the drive motor 4 and to transmit the lifting and pulling force, achieving a dual-purpose effect. This eliminates the need to configure an additional anti-collision protection mechanism for the drive motor 4, which helps to simplify the overall structure and manufacturing cost of the gripping device.
[0047] Based on Example 1, Example 2:
[0048] The four ends of the cross positioning frame 1 are rotatably connected to four strip swing frames 2. Each of the four strip swing frames 2 has a gripping block 201 rotatably installed at its head. The four gripping blocks 201 are used to clamp and fix the oil casing coupling.
[0049] Preferred,
[0050] A threaded drive shaft 5 is rotatably mounted through the center of the cross positioning frame 1, and the first ends of the horizontal rod segments at the top of the four L-shaped support rods 104 are welded together with positioning rings. The top part of the threaded drive shaft 5 is rotatably engaged with the positioning rings.
[0051] Preferred,
[0052] The drive motor 4 is connected to the top end of the threaded drive shaft 5 for transmission.
[0053] Preferred,
[0054] A cross drive component 3 is screwed onto the threaded drive shaft 5. A threaded sleeve is welded through the center of the cross drive component 3, and the threaded sleeve is screwed into the threaded drive shaft 5.
[0055] Preferred,
[0056] The four ends of the cross-shaped drive component 3 are rotatably connected to four second links 301.
[0057] Preferred,
[0058] The top of each of the four horizontal support rods on the cross positioning frame 1 is provided with a T-shaped slide groove 101, and a force transmission component 102 is slidably installed in each of the four T-shaped slide grooves 101. The force transmission component 102 is composed of a bottom sliding plate and two vertical ear plates symmetrically welded to the top of the sliding plate. The tail end of the second connecting rod 301 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner vertical ear plate, and the top of the outer vertical ear plate is rotatably connected to the top of the strip swing frame 2 with the first connecting rod 202.
[0059] The four first connecting rods 202, the four strip-shaped swing frames 2, and the four force transmission components 102 are connected to form a four-crank slider mechanism. Through this four-crank slider mechanism, the four force transmission components 102 can be pushed and driven to swing inward and outward by sliding outward synchronously, controlling the four gripping blocks 201 to clamp or separate from the oil casing coupling, thus tightening or loosening the oil casing coupling. The four force transmission components 102 are also connected to the four-crank slider mechanism together with the cross drive component 3 and the four second connecting rods 301. Through this four-mechanism, the cross drive component 3 can be pushed and driven to slide inward and outward synchronously by sliding up and down. The threaded drive shaft 5 can be pushed and driven to slide up and down by rotating in both directions. The drive motor 4 can drive the threaded drive shaft 5 to rotate in both directions to provide tightening and loosening driving force for the four gripping blocks 201.
[0060] Working principle: Before use, the lifting ring 103 needs to be hooked and connected to the hook on the external hoisting equipment, and the entire gripping device needs to be hooked and connected to the hoisting equipment. When in use, first start and control the drive motor 4 to rotate clockwise, driving and controlling the four gripping blocks 201 to clamp and fix them to the oil casing coupling. Then, the hoisting equipment lifts the gripping device and the oil casing coupling. Under the lifting action of the hoisting equipment, the gripping device grabs and lifts the oil casing coupling. After the oil casing coupling is grabbed and lifted, it continues to be transferred and lowered for unloading by the hoisting equipment. After the oil casing coupling is transferred to the position and touches the ground, start and control the drive motor 4 to rotate counterclockwise, driving and controlling the four gripping blocks 201 to separate from the oil casing coupling and release the oil casing coupling. This completes one gripping and transfer of the oil casing coupling.
