Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logging engineering technology, and more specifically, to a box-type rock cuttings drying device. Background Technology

[0002] The collection, drying, and preservation of rock cuttings are all crucial steps in geological work. After collection, the rock cuttings need to be placed on a sand sampling platform for drying. Iron sand sampling platforms and cement sand sampling platforms are commonly used. While iron sand sampling platforms are sturdy and stable, they are space-consuming, prone to rust, have poor ventilation, require long drying times, and labels easily become blurred due to moisture. Furthermore, the rock cuttings are easily blown away by the wind. Cement sand sampling platforms are sturdy and flat, allowing for the drying of large quantities of rock cuttings. However, they require a large area, are difficult to construct, are prone to flooding, have poor water permeability, require long drying times, are easily trampled on, labels easily become blurred due to moisture, are easily blown away by the wind, and can easily bring in dust, garbage, and dirt. Geologists describe this as inconvenient for laboratory sampling.

[0003] To address existing problems, some researchers have made improvements to current cuttings drying equipment. For example, patent application CN212642644U discloses a cuttings drying device and its drying unit. The drying unit has at least two cuttings holding troughs capable of holding standard weights of cuttings samples. The use of recessed troughs allows for the integration of more than two troughs, enabling the drying of a larger quantity of cuttings. Similarly, patent application CN219605235U discloses a cuttings drying device with a partitioned drying plate. However, both of these cuttings drying devices still use a platform drying method, and are generally installed outdoors in a flat, planar layout. This results in poor ventilation at the bottom of the sand sample tray, long drying times, large space requirements, and easy loss of cuttings in rainy or snowy weather. These sand sample platforms no longer fully meet the needs of current logging operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a box-type rock cuttings drying equipment, which breaks away from the traditional concept of rock cuttings drying platform, utilizes space advantages to reduce the floor area, and provides front and rear ventilation to improve ventilation efficiency.

[0005] The box-type rock cuttings drying equipment of this utility model includes: a main frame, in which support columns are arranged, and multiple sets of drying units distributed vertically are fitted on the support columns. The drying units can rotate about the support columns as the central axis and are arranged in a staggered and cross manner.

[0006] In one embodiment, a plurality of rotating structures are provided on the support column along the height direction of the support column, and the drying unit is connected to both sides of the rotating structure respectively.

[0007] In one embodiment, the free end of the drying unit is tilted upwards.

[0008] In one embodiment, the rotating structure includes a first ring, a second ring, a third ring, and a fourth ring integrally formed from top to bottom; an arc-shaped locking member is symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the first ring along the circumference of the first ring; slots are formed on the outer walls of the third and fourth rings along the circumference corresponding to the arc-shaped locking member; an arc-shaped sliding groove is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the fourth ring to fit the arc-shaped locking member; the arc-shaped locking member of the adjacent rotating structure can slide within the arc-shaped sliding groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the angular span of the arc-shaped clip is smaller than the angular span of the arc-shaped groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, a first positioning element is further provided on the outer wall of the support column, and the first positioning element is located below the rotating structure at the bottom of the support column.

[0011] In one embodiment, the drying unit includes a drying frame and a sand sample tray embedded in the drying frame; the bottom surface of the sand sample tray has a mesh structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, the drying frame is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, which is embedded in a slot of the rotating structure.

[0013] In one embodiment, the main frame is a rectangular frame structure with two transparent sides, and doors are movably connected to the two transparent sides respectively, with the pillars fixed to the bottom of the main frame.

[0014] In one embodiment, the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment further includes a bottom tray for receiving wastewater and waste residue, the bottom tray being connected to the upright column, and the bottom tray having a groove adapted to the outer diameter of the upright column.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment of this utility model includes a support column and multiple drying units. Each drying unit can rotate around the support column as the central axis and is arranged in a staggered and intersecting state. When the adjacent drying units are staggered and intersecting, they are used for drying rock cuttings; when the adjacent drying units are staggered and overlapping, they are used for storage. This breaks the concept of traditional rock cuttings drying platform, makes use of space advantages, reduces the floor area occupied, and provides front and rear ventilation to improve ventilation efficiency.

[0016] The above-mentioned technical features can be combined in various technically feasible ways to generate new implementation schemes, as long as the purpose of this utility model can be achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, as long as there is no conflict, the various embodiments and features in the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, and the resulting technical solutions are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] The parts not mentioned in this utility model can be achieved by adopting or referencing existing technologies.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment of this utility model includes a main frame 1, in which a support column 2 is arranged, and multiple drying units 3 distributed vertically are mounted on the support column 2; the drying units 3 can rotate about the support column 2 as the central axis and are in a staggered or overlapping state.

[0035] When adjacent drying units 3 are staggered, rock chips can be dried while ensuring ventilation between drying units; when adjacent drying units 3 are staggered and overlapped, the dried rock chips can be collected.

[0036] In some alternative embodiments, multiple sets of rotating structures 7 are provided on the support column 2 along the height direction of the support column 2, and each set of rotating structures 7 is connected to a drying unit 3 on both sides.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the rotating structure 7 includes a first ring 71, a second ring 72, a third ring 73, and a fourth ring 74 integrally arranged from top to bottom; the outer side wall of the first ring 71 is symmetrically provided with arc-shaped clips 75; the third ring 73 and the fourth ring 74 are provided with slots 76 for connecting the drying unit 3 at the positions corresponding to the arc-shaped clips 75; the bottom of the fourth ring 74 is also symmetrically provided with arc-shaped grooves 77 adapted to the arc-shaped clips 75, the arc-shaped clips 75 of the lower rotating structure are inserted into the arc-shaped grooves 77 and can slide in the arc-shaped grooves 77 to realize the rotation of the drying unit 3 about the support column 2 as the central axis.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, the angular span of the arc-shaped locking piece 75 is smaller than the angular span of the arc-shaped sliding groove 77, so that in the two rotating structures that are locked together, the upper rotating structure 7 can rotate a certain angle under the limiting action of the arc-shaped locking piece 75 of the lower rotating structure.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the lowest set of rotating structures 7 arranged on the support column 2 has a first positioning member 9 below it, which is fixed to the outer wall of the support column 2.

[0040] Optionally, the first positioning member 9 has the same structure as the first ring 71 in the rotating structure 7, which enables the set of rotating structures above it to rotate by a certain angle.

[0041] Further reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to prevent the uppermost set of rotating structures 7 of the support column 2 from detaching from the support column 2, a second positioning component 10 is also provided above the set of rotating structures. The second positioning component 10 is an annular structure with threaded holes. The second positioning component 10 is fixed to the top of the support column 2 by bolts passing through the threaded holes, so as to limit the rotation of each rotating structure 7 installed on the support column 2 and prevent it from detaching from the support column 2.

[0042] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the free end of the drying unit 3 is inclined upwards, and the entire drying unit 3 forms a certain angle with the support column 2 at the center of the bottom surface of the main frame 1. The inclined arrangement of the drying units 3 on both sides of the support column 2 allows the washed rock chips to be placed on the sand receiving tray, and the water can flow down the support column 2 to the bottom tray 8 below. The cross-section of the drying unit is fan-shaped, and multiple sets of drying units unfold in succession to form an approximate circle. The drying units 3 on the upper and lower layers can maintain good ventilation during drying, which is conducive to the drying of rock chips.

[0043] Furthermore, the drying unit 3 includes a drying frame 31 and a sand sample tray 32 embedded in the drying frame 31; the bottom surface of the sand sample tray 32 has a mesh structure. A connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected to the drying frame 31, and the connecting plate 33 is embedded in the slot 76 of the rotating structure 7 to fix the drying unit 3 on the rotating structure 7.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment also includes a bottom tray 8 for receiving wastewater and waste residue. The bottom tray 8 is connected to the column 2, and the bottom tray 8 has a groove that matches the outer diameter of the column 2.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, a groove 81 is provided in the middle of one side of the bottom tray 8. The two bottom trays 8 are engaged with the outside of the support column 2. At this time, the two grooves 81 are exactly abutting against the outer wall of the bottom end of the support column 2.

[0046] In other embodiments, the bottom tray 8 can also be configured as an integral structure, with the groove 81 located in the middle of the bottom tray 8.

[0047] To further strengthen the secure fixing of the two bottom trays 8, pressure strips 82 and slots 83 are also provided in the two bottom trays. The slots 83 lock the pressure strips 82 and the edges of the bottom trays 8 that abut against each other, thus fixing the two bottom trays 8 in place. The pressure strip 82 is fixed to one of the bottom trays, or the pressure strip 82 can be placed directly on the inner side of one of the bottom trays 8; simply place the pressure strip 82 in the appropriate position during use. Similarly, the slot 83 can be fixed to the other bottom tray; or the slot 83 can be set independently of the bottom tray, and simply remove the slot 83 to lock it in place during use. The combination structure of the pressure strips 82 and the slots 83 can be provided in one set or in two sets, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0048] Specifically, when using this drying equipment, the main frame 1 needs to be fixed to the ground. One of the following fixing methods can be used:

[0049] The first fixing method: holes are made at the four corners of the bottom surface of the main frame 1, and the ground wire is inserted and hammered into the ground to fix the drying equipment to the ground.

[0050] The second fixing method is to tie the pull wire to the handle 11 of the main frame 1, or to set a retaining ring in the upper middle part of the main frame 1 and use the pull wire to fix it to the ground wire driven into the ground.

[0051] The third fixing method: The main frame 1 is connected to the door body, and the door body is fixed to the main frame 1 by a pin. Therefore, a through hole is opened at the place that matches the pin as a fixing lock hole. When drying rock debris, the door body is removed, and then the ground wire is inserted into the through hole on the main frame 1 and hammered into the ground for fixing.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the main frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure that is open at both ends. Doors are movably connected to its two open sides (front and rear sides). Support pillars 2 are fixed to the bottom of the main frame 1, optionally positioned at the center. Handles 11 are also fixed to the outer walls of the main frame (left and right sides) for easy handling. Doors are movably connected to the main frame 1.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The door body includes a first door body 4 and a second door body 5 connected by a latch 6. Taking the door body located on the front side of the main frame 1 as an example, such as... Figures 10-11 As shown, the first door 4 is detachably connected to the front left side of the main frame 1, and the second door 5 is detachably connected to the front right side of the main frame 1. The first door 4 is also detachably connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the main frame via pins 41. The main frame 1 has through holes 12 that mate with the pins 41. That is, the top and bottom of the first door 4 are respectively connected to pins 41. After closing the first door 1, the top and bottom pins 41 are inserted into the corresponding through holes 12 of the main frame 1. Then, the second door 5 is closed, and the latch 6 connects the first door 4 and the second door 5. The door on the rear side of the main frame 1 has the same structure as the door on the front side.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment provided in this application has an outer contour height of approximately 120cm, a length of 92cm, and a width of 26cm. A first door 4 and a second door 5 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides. Handles 11 are provided on the left and right outer sides of the main frame 1. A support column 2 with a height of 93cm is fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the main frame. The height of the support column 2 is less than the overall height of the door frame, creating a certain distance between the upper end of the support column 2 and the lower end of the top surface of the main frame 1, facilitating the mounting of the rotating structure 7 onto the support column 2. This box-type rock cuttings drying equipment consists of the main frame 1, front and rear doors, support columns 2, drying units 3, and a bottom tray 8, etc., and is made entirely of stainless steel. The hinges of the front and rear doors adopt a direct-insertion locking pin design, allowing for easy disassembly of the front and rear doors by simply lifting them upwards, making installation convenient. Each drying unit is placed in a movable stainless steel frame, allowing for front and rear ventilation. The bottom is equipped with a bottom tray 8 to collect wastewater and waste residue, meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, the support column 2 is fitted with five sets of rotating structures 7, and each set of rotating structures is connected to a set of drying units 3 on both sides, wherein the sand sample tray 32 is designed with a filter screen.

[0056] The sand sample tray 32 is designed in a fan shape, 36cm long and 1.5cm high, with a 200-mesh diamond sieve at the bottom. It can hold approximately 600g of rock cuttings, meeting the requirements for rock cuttings sampling. In practice, the support pillars of the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment can be fitted with different numbers of rotating structures 7, thus enabling the assembly of different numbers of drying units to adapt to the rock cuttings drying needs under different working conditions. The overall dimensions of the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment and the dimensions of each structure are not limited to the listed values; their specific dimensions and quantities can be selected according to specific requirements.

[0057] The box-type rock chip drying equipment provided in this embodiment breaks away from the traditional concept of rock chip drying platform. It utilizes space advantages to reduce the floor area, provides front and rear ventilation to improve ventilation efficiency, and features an environmentally friendly tray at the bottom to reduce the input of environmentally friendly materials.

[0058] The following specific embodiment illustrates the usage of the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment of this application:

[0059] When using the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment, install the rotating structure 7 and the drying unit 3 onto the support column 2 beforehand. After removing the doors on the front and rear sides of the box-type rock cuttings drying equipment, fix the main frame 1 to the ground. Place the rock cuttings to be dried on each drying unit 3, and then gently rotate the uppermost drying unit 3 clockwise. Because the two rotating structures that are interlocked, the upper rotating structure can rotate a certain angle under the limiting action of the arc-shaped locking piece 75 of the rotating frame below it, so the drying units 3 of adjacent upper and lower layers can be arranged in a staggered and overlapping manner. Figure 3 As shown, this arrangement interweaves the drying units on each layer, maintaining ventilation in each unit and ensuring effective drying of the rock chips. When storing the equipment, gently rotate the top drying unit in the opposite direction to ensure that all drying units overlap in a staggered manner. Figure 2 As shown, all are located inside the main frame 1. Then, the front and rear doors are installed, thus completing the storage of each rock cutting drying unit and preventing dust, garbage, and dirt from being blown in.

[0060] In this embodiment, each drying unit is slightly tilted towards the support column 2, so that after the washed rock debris is placed in each drying unit, water can flow down the support column 2 to the bottom tray 8 below. The bottom tray can also be used to collect wastewater and waste residue. The bottom tray 8 is made of stainless steel, is easy to use, and has a two-piece design that can be combined into a single unit. A groove 81 is designed in the middle to precisely hold the support column 2 in place.

[0061] The box-type rock cuttings drying equipment provided in this embodiment has a small footprint, good ventilation, is mobile and flexible, comes with an environmentally friendly receiving tray, is durable, and can shorten the drying time of rock cuttings.

[0062] The box-type cuttings drying equipment provided in this embodiment is adapted for use. This box-type cuttings drying equipment breaks away from the traditional concept of cuttings drying platforms and also generates certain economic benefits. While the manufacturing cost is similar to that of traditional cuttings drying platforms, it saves on environmentally friendly material costs due to its smaller footprint and built-in environmentally friendly trays. Based on the calculation that each well requires five sand sampling platforms, the cost of plastic sheeting and environmentally friendly dikes for traditional cuttings drying platforms is around 1000 yuan. The application of the new equipment eliminates the need for plastic sheeting and only requires half the cost of the original environmentally friendly dikes, around 600 yuan. This saves approximately 400 yuan in environmentally friendly materials per well. Based on the annual cuttings logging needs of 200 wells at the Hekou Logging Department, the economic benefit is approximately 200 × 400 ≈ 80,000 yuan. That is, it saves the Hekou Logging Department 80,000 yuan in material loss costs annually.
