Detailed Implementation

[0025] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a drill bit loading and unloading support platform for oil drilling. The drill bit loading and unloading support platform includes a support unit 1, a rotating unit 2, and a lifting unit 3. The support unit 1 is used to support the drill bit. The fixed end of the rotating unit 2 is connected to the top of the lifting unit 3, and the rotating end of the rotating unit 2 is connected to the support unit 1. The rotating unit 2 enables the support unit 1 to rotate along its axis, thereby causing the drill bit on it to rotate. The lifting unit 3 can drive the support unit 1 on the rotating unit 2 to move up and down so that the drill bit on the support unit 1 can dock with the drill string on the oil drilling platform.

[0027] Therefore, the operator only needs to lift the drill bit onto the support unit 1. During the top connection, the hoisted drill string is lowered until the lower end of the drill string aligns with the drill bit on the support unit 1. There is no need for personnel to continuously hold the drill bit. Since the support unit 1 can rotate along its own axis and the lifting unit 3 can drive the support unit 1 to rise and fall, the threaded connection between the drill bit and the drill string can be achieved. This saves time and effort, reduces the safety risk of the drill bit falling, and improves installation efficiency. At the same time, this drill bit loading and unloading support platform has a simple structure and low production cost.

[0028] It should be noted that in practical applications, the drill string and the drill bit are connected by threads, so the connection between the two can be achieved by screwing the drill bit.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating unit 2 includes a fixed column 21 and a bearing 22. The bottom end of the fixed column 21 is connected to the top end of the lifting unit 3, and the supporting unit 1 is connected to the fixed column 21 through the bearing 22.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support unit 1 includes a support plate 11 and a guardrail 12. The guardrail 12 is fixedly installed on the circumference of the support plate 11, and the bottom end of the support plate 11 is connected to the fixed column 21 via a bearing 22. In use, the drill bit is placed on the support plate 11. The guardrail 12 prevents the drill bit from falling off and facilitates manual pushing of the support plate 11; the support plate 11 can be rotated simply by manually turning the guardrail 12. It should be noted that the actual structure of the drill bit's bottom end allows it to be placed stably on the support plate 11. To prevent the drill bit from slipping, the support unit 1 also includes an anti-slip pad, which is installed on the top of the support plate 11.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting unit 3 includes an inner cylinder 31, an outer cylinder 32, and a spring 33. The outer cylinder 32 is sleeved outside the inner cylinder 31, and the two are internally connected. The inner cylinder 31 and the outer cylinder 32 can slide relative to each other in the vertical direction. The top end of the spring 33 is connected to the inner top wall of the inner cylinder 31, and the bottom end of the spring 33 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer cylinder 32. The bottom end of the fixing column 21 is connected to the top end of the inner cylinder 31. When the drill bit is placed on the support plate 11, the spring 33 in the lifting unit 3 is compressed. After the hoisted drill string is lowered and docked with the top of the drill bit, the support plate 11 is rotated. During the rotation, the drill string and the drill bit are continuously connected, and the pressure borne by the spring 33 gradually decreases. The spring 33 returns to its original position, causing the inner cylinder 31 to slide upward relative to the outer cylinder 32, so that the drill bit on the support plate 11 continues to abut against the drill string. When the drill string and the drill bit are connected, the hoisted drill string drives the drill bit to be lifted and reset together. It should be noted that both the inner cylinder 31 and the outer cylinder 32 are cylindrical structures with one-sided sealing.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to prevent the inner cylinder 31 from separating from the outer cylinder 32 during the upward process, a first retaining ring 311 is formed on the outer edge of the bottom end of the inner cylinder 31, and a second retaining ring 321 is formed on the inner edge of the top end of the outer cylinder 32. The first retaining ring 311 and the second retaining ring 321 are engaged.

[0033] To facilitate the installation of the spring 33, the inner top wall of the inner cylinder 31 is provided with an upper positioning post 312, and the top end of the spring 33 is sleeved on the upper positioning post 312. The lower bottom wall of the outer cylinder 32 is provided with a lower positioning post 322, and the bottom end of the spring 33 is sleeved on the lower positioning post 322. To make the drill bit loading and unloading support platform more stable when placed on the ground, the bottom end of the outer cylinder 32 extends radially outward to form a fixing plate. At the same time, to facilitate the movement of the device support lifting unit 3, a handle 4 is also included, which is set on the outer cylinder 32.
