Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of equipment related to oilfield well workover operations, specifically a hydraulic clamping device for tubing or rods. Background Technology
[0002] In existing oilfield well workover operations, when pulling out tubing and rods, two clamps are typically used alternately to prevent the tubing or rod from falling into the wellhead. Specifically, for example, when pulling out tubing or rods, the first clamp is installed at the upper end of a section of tubing or rod located at the wellhead. A crane connects to the first clamp to lift the first section of tubing or rod. After the next section of tubing or rod emerges from the wellhead, the second clamp is used to secure the upper end of that section to prevent it from falling. The previous section of tubing or rod, along with the first clamp, is removed and placed on the ground. Then, the crane connects to the second clamp to lift the next section of tubing or rod, exposing the section after that at the wellhead and securing it with the first clamp. By repeating this process, all tubing or rods can be pulled out. A single lifting clamp typically weighs 60-70 kilograms. A well may have 200-500 tubing pipes. Each time a well worker lifts a tubing or rod, they must move the lifting clamp from the ground to the wellhead, which is usually about 1 meter high. Well workers often have to move the clamp up and down 400 to 1000 times in oily and watery conditions, making the work extremely strenuous and dangerous. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic clamping device for oil pipes or oil rods.

[0006] The hollow shell has through-holes for the slip blocks extending from left to right, and also has through-holes corresponding to the wellhead extending from top to bottom. These through-holes connect to the slip blocks. An inner cylinder head is fixed to each of the left and right ends of the hollow shell. The side of each inner cylinder head away from the hollow shell connects to an opening at one end of a corresponding cylinder body. The opening at the end of each cylinder body away from the hollow shell connects to a corresponding outer cylinder head. Each assembly consisting of the inner cylinder head, cylinder body, and outer cylinder head is used in conjunction with a corresponding piston. Each piston is divided into... The piston head and piston rod are connected together. The piston head of each piston is located inside a corresponding cylinder. The outer circumferential dimension of the piston head of each piston matches the inner circumferential dimension of the corresponding cylinder. The piston rod of each piston extends from a corresponding inner cylinder head and into the slip block passage of the hollow shell. The end of the piston rod of each piston away from the piston head is connected to a corresponding slip block. The two slip blocks are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the corresponding passage of the wellhead and are used to directly clamp the oil pipe or oil rod.

Each oil passage C has an inlet port and an outlet port. The outlet port of each oil passage C is connected to a corresponding oil space B. The inlet port of each oil passage C is connected to one end of a corresponding hollow oil passage pipe. Each oil passage B has a... The oil channel B has one inlet port and two outlet ports. Each outlet port of the oil channel B is connected to the other end of the corresponding hollow oil passage pipe. The oil channel A has one inlet port and two outlet ports. Each outlet port of the oil channel A is connected to a corresponding oil space A. The inlet ports of the oil channel B and the oil channel A are both located on the hollow shell. Oil pipe interface flanges are respectively provided on the hollow shell at the locations corresponding to the inlet ports of the oil channel B and the oil channel A.
[0013] Each of the slip blocks has a transverse locking groove formed on the side surface near the piston it is connected to. The transverse locking groove of each slip block is parallel to the front-back direction of the hollow shell. The piston rod of each piston has a locking protrusion formed at the end away from the piston head.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 The present invention will be described in further detail.
[0035] A hydraulic clamping device for tubing or rods, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, this embodiment includes a hollow shell 1, a cylinder 2, an inner cylinder head 3, an outer cylinder head 4, a piston 5, and a slip block 6.
[0036] The hollow shell 1 has a left-right through-hole 101 for passing slips, and a top-bottom through-hole 102 corresponding to the wellhead. The wellhead corresponding through-hole 102 is connected to the slip through-hole 101. The wellhead corresponding through-hole 102 corresponds to the wellhead position and is used to allow the tubing or rod to pass through. An inner cylinder head 3 is fixed to each of the left and right ends of the hollow shell 1 by screws. The side of each inner cylinder head 3 away from the hollow shell 1 is connected to one end opening of a corresponding cylinder body 2. The end opening of each cylinder body 2 away from the hollow shell 1 is connected to a corresponding outer cylinder head 4. Each assembly consisting of the corresponding inner cylinder head 3, cylinder body 2, and outer cylinder head 4 is used in conjunction with a corresponding piston 5. Each piston 5 is divided into a piston head 501 and a piston rod 502 connected together. The piston head 501 of each piston 5 is located at the corresponding... Inside each cylinder 2, the outer circumferential dimension of the piston head 501 of each piston 5 is matched with the inner circumferential dimension of the corresponding cylinder 2. The piston rod 502 of each piston 5 extends from a corresponding inner cylinder head 3 and into the slip block passage 101 of the hollow shell 1. The end of the piston rod 502 of each piston 5 away from the piston head 501 of that piston 5 is connected to a corresponding slip block 6. The two slip blocks 6 are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the corresponding passage 102 at the wellhead and are used to directly clamp the oil pipe or oil rod.
[0037] In the inner cavity of each piston 5, an oil space A 001 is formed between the piston head 501 of the corresponding piston 5 and the corresponding inner cylinder head 3. In the inner cavity of each piston 5, an oil space B 002 is formed between the piston head 501 of the corresponding piston 5 and the corresponding outer cylinder head 4. By controlling the inflow and outflow of hydraulic oil in oil spaces A 001 and B 002 respectively, the piston 5 is driven to move axially, thereby controlling the two slip blocks 6 to clamp or release the oil pipe or rod passing through the corresponding wellhead passage 102. In this embodiment, each piston 5 also has a blind hole connected to the corresponding oil space B 002, so that oil spaces B 002 and blind holes can accommodate more hydraulic oil, making the piston 5's operation more reliable. When running out of tubing and rods, the device proposed in this invention can clamp the tubing and rods placed at the wellhead, preventing them from falling or rising (falling refers to the tubing and rods dropping into the well, while rising refers to the tubing flying out due to high pressure in the well, which is extremely dangerous). It also secures the tubing and rods in the desired position for the workers, enabling safe and reliable loading and unloading. Furthermore, during the running out of tubing and rods, only one lifting clamp can be used, and this clamp can be kept connected to the crane at all times, eliminating the need for workers to repeatedly disassemble and move two clamps, effectively saving manpower and improving work efficiency.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hollow shell 1 is fixed to the wellhead by wellhead connecting bolts. Eight wellhead connecting bolt holes 103 are provided on both the top and bottom surfaces of the hollow shell 1. Each wellhead connecting bolt hole 103 is threadedly connected to the wellhead connecting bolt, allowing both the top and bottom surfaces of the hollow shell 1 to be connected to the wellhead for convenient use. The connection method at the wellhead and between the hollow shell 1 and the wellhead connecting bolts adopts existing technology.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, each piston 5 is provided with four cylinder head connecting bolts 7 on its outer periphery. The outer cylinder head 4 and the inner cylinder head 3, located on the same side of the hollow housing 1, are connected and fixed by the cylinder head connecting bolts 7, ensuring a tight and reliable connection between the outer cylinder head 4, the cylinder body 2, and the inner cylinder head 3. Several sealing rings A8 are provided on the outer periphery of the piston head 501 of each piston 5, and several sealing rings B9 are provided on each inner cylinder head 3 at the point where the piston rod 502 of the corresponding piston 5 passes through, ensuring that hydraulic oil does not leak and that the piston 5 operates reliably and stably.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, a hollow oil passage pipe 10 is provided between each inner cylinder head 3 and the corresponding outer cylinder head 4. The hollow shell 1 and each inner cylinder head 3 form an integral structure with an oil passage A 003 and an oil passage B 004 inside. Each outer cylinder head 4 has an oil passage C 005 inside. Each oil passage C 005 has one inlet port and one outlet port. The outlet port of each oil passage C 005 is connected to a corresponding oil space B 002. The inlet port of each oil passage C 005 is connected to one end of a corresponding hollow oil passage pipe 10. Oil passage B 004 has one inlet port and two outlet ports. Each outlet port of oil passage B 004 is connected to the other end of the corresponding hollow oil passage pipe 10. Oil passage A 003 has one inlet port and two outlet ports. Each outlet port of oil passage A 003 is connected to a corresponding oil space A The hydraulic system is interconnected. The inlet ports of hydraulic channels B 004 and A 003 are both located on the hollow shell 1. Corresponding to the inlet ports of hydraulic channels B 004 and A 003, hydraulic pipe interface flanges 11 are respectively provided on the hollow shell 1. Hydraulic oil is supplied or discharged to the hydraulic space A 001 through hydraulic channel A 003, and through hydraulic channels B 004, the hollow hydraulic through pipe 10, and hydraulic channel C 005. An external hydraulic oil supply device is connected via the hydraulic pipe interface flanges 11. The structure is compact. The connection method between the hydraulic pipe interface flanges 11 and the external hydraulic oil supply device adopts existing technology.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 7-10As shown, in this embodiment, a transverse engaging groove 601 is formed on the side of each slip block 6 near the piston 5 it is connected to. The transverse engaging groove 601 of each slip block 6 is parallel to the front-back direction of the hollow shell 1. A engaging protrusion 503 is formed at the end of the piston rod portion 502 of each piston 5 away from the piston head 501. The engaging protrusion 503 of each piston 5 engages with the corresponding transverse engaging groove 601 of the slip block 6. The shape of the engaging protrusion 503 of each piston 5 matches the shape of the corresponding transverse engaging groove 601 of the slip block 6. Each transverse engaging groove 601 is a T-shaped groove, ensuring reliable engagement between the engaging protrusion 503 and the transverse engaging groove 601. Each slip block 6 has an arc-shaped locking groove 602 formed on the side away from the connected piston 5. The arc-shaped locking grooves 602 of the two slip blocks 6 are used to directly clamp the tubing or rod from both sides of the wellhead corresponding to the orifice 102 passing through the hollow shell 1. Several wedge-shaped locking protrusions 603 are evenly protruding on the inner side of each arc-shaped locking groove 602, which can achieve reliable clamping of the tubing or rod. The lateral width of each slip block 6 is slightly smaller than the width of the inner side of the slip block through the orifice 101, which allows each slip block 6 to have a certain amount of lateral movement in the slip block through the orifice 101. With the setting of the arc-shaped locking grooves 602, it can adapt to the slightly skewed tubing or rod and achieve stable clamping. Each locking block 6 has an indicator block (omitted in the figure) connected to its outer side. Each locking block 6 may also have an indicator block mounting groove 604 for easy positioning and installation of the indicator block. The front and rear sides of the hollow shell 1 are respectively provided with indicator block passages 104 that communicate with the locking block passages 101. The indicator blocks on each locking block 6 protrude from their corresponding indicator block passages 104. By setting the indicator blocks, it is convenient for workers to observe the movement position of the locking blocks 6.
