Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile trolley technology, and in particular to an electrically driven mobile trolley with clamping function. Background Technology

[0002] In oil well workover and drilling operations, the powered catwalk is a key piece of equipment for tubing transport, often facing the challenge of transporting heavy tubing. To address this, a mobile trolley system is commonly used in engineering to safely push and accurately retrieve the tubing, a design that ensures both operational efficiency and safety.

[0003] In existing technologies, mobile trolleys typically require manual placement of the tubing, followed by movement via a hydraulic motor or electric motor-driven mechanical transmission system and chain traction. However, because mobile trolleys lack tubing clamping capabilities, operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also carries the risk of tubing slippage during manual loading and unloading, posing a serious safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing mobile trolleys lack the function of clamping tubing, which not only makes operation time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses a risk of tubing slippage during manual loading and unloading, thus posing a serious safety hazard to operations. Therefore, this invention proposes an electrically driven mobile trolley with clamping function.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electrically driven movable trolley with clamping function includes a movable trolley body, an elongated slot at the top of the movable trolley body, an electric push rod hinged within the elongated slot, a pressure arm hinged to the movable trolley body, the tail end of the pressure arm hinged to the electric push rod, a pawl hinged to the end of the pressure arm away from the electric push rod, and the movable trolley body and the pressure arm fixedly connected to the same tension spring; further comprising:

[0007] A limiting component that limits the movement trajectory of the moving trolley body.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 An electrically driven mobile trolley with clamping function includes a mobile trolley body 1. The top of the mobile trolley body 1 has an elongated slot, and an electric push rod 2 is hinged in the elongated slot. A pressure arm 3 is hinged on the mobile trolley body 1. The tail end of the pressure arm 3 is hinged to the electric push rod 2. A chuck 5 is hinged to the end of the pressure arm 3 away from the electric push rod 2. The mobile trolley is equipped with an electric clamping device. The electric clamping device clamps or holds tubing, casing, drill pipe, sucker rod and other tubing strings of different specifications through the chuck 5. The chuck 5 can be matched and replaced according to the type of tubing string.

[0029] The movable trolley body 1 and the pressure arm 3 are fixedly connected by the same tension spring 4. A V-shaped shovel plate 9 is hinged to the front end of the movable trolley body 1. The movable trolley is mounted on the V-shaped groove. When conveying the tube column, the male end of the tube column presses on the movable trolley, and the female end presses on the V-shaped groove. The tension spring 4 tightly holds the claw 5 at the lower end of the tube column. At this time, the tube column and the V-shaped shovel plate 9 of the movable trolley are parallel. The movable trolley pushes the tube column. After the female end of the tube column exceeds the V-shaped groove, the female end is lifted by a lifting clamp. After the female end of the tube column is lifted, the tube column tilts and rotates along the male end. The angle between the tube column and the V-shaped shovel plate 9 increases from small to large until the tube column disengages from the V-shaped shovel plate 9. When the tubing is tilted, it will generate an upward thrust on the chuck 5, which in turn will generate downward pressure on the electric actuator 2 through the pressure arm 3. This pressure can be offset by the long slot of the pressure arm 3 and will not act on the electric actuator 2, ensuring that the electric actuator 2 is always used under light load and improving the service life of the electric actuator 2.

[0030] The V-shaped shovel plate 9 is equipped with a shock-absorbing rubber plate to reduce noise when the trolley connects to the tube string and to protect the threads at the tube string end. A pressure sensor is installed on the V-shaped shovel plate 9 to detect whether a tube string is held in the V-shaped shovel plate 9. The movement of the electric push rod 2 is controlled according to the holding status of the tube string to achieve the lifting of the pressure arm 3. The pressure sensor is preferably, but not limited to, the Honeywell 26PC series.

[0031] The movable trolley also includes a limiting component, which limits the movement trajectory of the movable trolley body 1. The limiting component includes an upper support roller 6 and a lower support roller 8 rotatably connected to the movable trolley body 1, respectively. The upper support roller 6 and the lower support roller 8 are offset in both the vertical and horizontal planes. The limiting component also includes a mounting plate 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable trolley body 1, and a guide centering roller 7 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 10. The guide centering roller 7 abuts against the side of the guide rail of the movable trolley to center the movable trolley body 1, so as to prevent the movable trolley body 1 from shaking or shifting when moving. The guide centering roller 7, the upper support roller 6, and the lower support roller 8 are symmetrically arranged, with a total of 4 sets.

[0032] The mobile trolley comes with its own 24V battery pack and control cabinet, enabling remote control without the need for external wiring (pipelines). This eliminates the need for external wiring (pipelines) and cable chains, reducing maintenance items. The battery pack also has a charging port, allowing operators to charge it via an external power source during breaks, ensuring the mobile trolley can operate for extended periods. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon further.

[0033] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0034] The mobile trolley moves by having chains suspended on both sides of its main body 1. A hydraulic motor or electric motor drives the chains to propel the trolley forward or backward. The mechanical transmission device is equipped with a clutch, which switches the trolley's master / follower function by engaging or disengaging the clutch. An encoder detects the trolley's position, allowing the electronic control system to control the switching of the master / follower actions. The main body 1 of the mobile trolley, through its upper support rollers 6 and lower support rollers 8, closely engages with the guide rail to form a stable load-bearing structure. The guide rollers 7 are flush against the side of the guide rail, forming a three-point positioning system with the upper and lower support rollers, effectively preventing lateral shifting or swaying of the trolley during movement and ensuring the accuracy of the conveying path.

[0035] Tube string handover operation: When the tube string is hoisted to the working range of the pulley by the traveling trolley, the V-shaped shovel plate 9 supports the tube string through the high elastic shock-absorbing rubber plate installed on its surface, which can absorb the impact and reduce noise, and protect the threads of the tube end from damage; start the electric push rod 2, the electric push rod 2 extends, pushes the pressure arm 3 to press down around the hinge point, and drives the claw 5 to clamp or hold tube strings of different specifications.

[0036] Tube release: When the tube is delivered to the target position, the electric push rod 2 retracts, causing the chuck 5 to completely disengage from the tube, thus achieving safe release of the tube.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
