Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil drilling and production equipment manufacturing technology, specifically a high and low pressure device for oil drilling. In order to ensure the normal operation of drilling work, it can be used in high pressure risers, mud pumps and blowout preventers. It can more effectively monitor the pressure in the equipment and pipelines, clearly distinguish the pressure levels at different stages, and effectively protect the pressure gauge. Background Technology

[0002] In the oil drilling and production process, the drilling process is quite hazardous. In order to carry out drilling operations more efficiently and safely, especially in high-pressure areas, a number of monitoring devices are installed to ensure the normal operation of drilling work. These include pressure gauges and sensors on the valve assembly of the high-pressure riser platform; pressure gauge assemblies on the choke and kill manifold; and pressure gauge assemblies on the mud pump, etc.

[0003] Currently, the most common approach is to equip equipment with pressure measuring devices based on its rated operating pressure. However, this method is ineffective in detecting unexpected situations at the well site: when the pressure is too high, the pressure gauge is damaged, making it impossible to detect the pressure inside the equipment or pipeline; when the pressure is too low, the actual pressure inside the equipment or pipeline cannot be accurately determined due to the range limitation of the pressure gauge. This makes it impossible to control on-site operations normally. This is where our high and low pressure device comes in. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high and low pressure device for oil drilling, which solves the technical problems of existing devices being unable to detect sudden situations at the well site: when the pressure is too high, the pressure gauge is damaged, making it impossible to detect the pressure in the equipment or pipeline; when the pressure is too low, the actual pressure in the equipment or pipeline cannot be accurately determined due to the range limitation of the pressure gauge. The device achieves the goal of real-time and accurate monitoring of high and low pressure changes through intelligent sensors and dual-range design, ensuring stable operation even under extreme pressure fluctuations, and effectively avoiding equipment damage and operation interruption.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high and low pressure device for oil drilling, comprising an instrumentation unit. The top of the instrumentation unit has two observation outlets, each equipped with a pressure gauge. These two pressure gauges are a 0-10MPa (metric / imperial) anti-vibration pressure gauge and a 0-100MPa (metric / imperial) anti-vibration pressure gauge, respectively, to monitor the working status within different pressure ranges in real time, ensuring the stability and safety of the drilling process. Below each pressure gauge is a buffer, which effectively absorbs pressure fluctuations and prevents instrument damage. Below the buffers is a shut-off valve for controlling fluid flow, ensuring rapid cut-off of the pressure source in emergencies and improving the system's emergency response capability. This shut-off valve is installed on the top of the instrumentation unit via a double-meter short joint.

[0006] Preferably, the rated working pressure of the shut-off valve and the buffer is not less than 70 MPa; the entire instrument is made of high-strength alloy material.

[0007] Preferably, both ends of the instrument assembly are provided with plugs via sealing packing, and the plugs are made of a high-sealing-performance material;

[0008] Preferably, an inner connection is provided at the bottom center of the instrument assembly, which is connected to an outer connection via a bearing. An O-ring seal is provided between the inner and outer connections to ensure the sealing performance of the connection, prevent fluid leakage, and improve the stability of system operation. The inner and outer connections are made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials to ensure no deformation during long-term use. The O-ring seal is made of high-pressure and corrosion-resistant material to extend the sealing life, reduce maintenance frequency, and ensure continuous and stable operation of the system under high-pressure environments.

[0009] Preferably, the shut-off valve specifically comprises a valve body, a valve core, and a handle. A screw is provided on one side of the valve body, and the valve core is installed on the handle via a pressure cap and a nut on the other side of the valve body. A copper ring is provided between the nut and the valve body. The copper ring effectively reduces friction and improves the opening and closing flexibility of the valve core. The valve core and the valve body are tightly fitted by a sealing ring to ensure sealing. The handle is easy to operate, has moderate torque, facilitates quick opening and closing, and reduces operating errors.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer specifically comprises a housing, a buffer plug, and a rubber sealing ring. The housing contains two seamless tubes, with a buffer medium filling the space between them to effectively absorb impact and reduce equipment vibration. The ends of the seamless tubes are connected to the buffer plug, which contacts the inner wall of the housing. The buffer plug is fitted with a right pressure cap and a left pressure cap via the rubber sealing ring, ensuring a tight fit between the buffer plug and the seamless tubes. The right pressure cap is connected to a pressure gauge, and the left pressure cap is connected to a shut-off valve. When pressure is applied, the pressure pushes the buffer plug to compress the buffer medium. The buffer medium responds quickly, evenly and smoothly dispersing the pressure to avoid instantaneous impact.

[0011] This utility model provides a high and low pressure device for oil drilling. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) This utility model can monitor and adjust the pressure in real time by setting the device to ensure the stability and safety of the drilling process; the design of the buffer and the shut-off valve effectively prevents instrument damage, extends the service life of the equipment, reduces maintenance costs, improves work efficiency, reduces usage costs, and allows the pressure gauge to be rotated at will to observe the pressure in the equipment or pipeline quickly and conveniently, thus improving the safety and reliability of drill pipe well operations.

[0013] (2) This utility model uses a buffer to relieve the pressure inside the pipe from acting quickly on the pressure gauge, thereby improving the service life of the pressure gauge; it can not only more clearly distinguish the pressure inside the pipe when it is high pressure and low pressure, but also reduce the time to replace the pressure gauge and shorten the drilling time.
