Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of union assembly and disassembly equipment technology, and in particular to a hydraulic wrench for assembling and disassembling high-pressure circulating manifolds in drilling. Background Technology

[0002] In the oil drilling industry, the high-pressure circulation manifold is an essential part of the drilling circulation system, requiring installation and disassembly before drilling or after well completion. A union, also known as an oil union, is a widely used pipeline connection component in the oil and natural gas industries. Existing unions mainly consist of a male union, a female union, and a fastening nut. The male union connects to one manifold body, the female union connects to another, and the fastening nut connects the male and female unions.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN221443594U discloses an improved sealing structure for a union, including a male union head, a female union head, and a fastening nut. The lower part of the female union head forms a sleeve for the male union head to be inserted into. The interior of the female union head has a boss corresponding to the end of the male union head. The contact surface between the female union head and the male union head is parallel to the axial direction and has multiple sealing rings. The sealing rings include circumferential grooves set on the outside of the male union head or the inside of the female union head and sealing rubber rings set in the circumferential grooves. Currently, the main method for disassembling and assembling a union is to use a hammer to strike the fastening nut to complete the disassembly and assembly of the manifold. The defects and shortcomings of this disassembly and assembly method are: (1) When the union is in a high position with limited space, it is unsafe and inconvenient for operators to disassemble the union by hammering; (2) When the drilling high-pressure circulation manifold is jammed, it is very difficult and time-consuming to disassemble and assemble the union by hammering.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a hydraulic wrench for disassembling and assembling high-pressure circulation manifolds in drilling. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a hydraulic wrench for disassembling and assembling a high-pressure circulating manifold in drilling, including a fixed clamp 1, a rotating clamp 2, and a telescopic cylinder 3;

[0035] One end of the fixed clamp 1 is provided with a first wrench, the other end of the fixed clamp 1 is hinged to one end of the telescopic cylinder 3, the other end of the telescopic cylinder 3 is hinged to one end of the rotating clamp 2, and the other end of the rotating clamp 2 is provided with a second wrench.

[0036] The first wrench can be selectively fixedly sleeved on the manifold body 4, and the second wrench can be selectively fixedly sleeved on the fastening nut 5 of the union. The telescopic cylinder 3 can drive the rotating clamp 2 and the second wrench to rotate around the axis of the manifold body 4 so that the fastening nut 5 rotates relative to the manifold body 4.

[0037] The hydraulic wrench for disassembling and assembling the high-pressure circulating manifold in this embodiment uses a telescopic cylinder 3 to push a rotating clamp 2. The rotating clamp 2, through a second wrench, drives the fastening nut 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the disassembly and assembly of the union. This changes the previous manual hammering operation method, greatly improving the safety and efficiency of the operation, while reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0038] Preferably, the first wrench includes a first semicircular clamp 11, a second semicircular clamp 12, a fastening bolt 13, and a fastening nut. The fixing clamp 1 is connected to the outer side of the first semicircular clamp 11. The two ends of the first semicircular clamp 11 protrude outward to form a first connecting plate, and the two ends of the second semicircular clamp 12 protrude outward to form a second connecting plate. Through holes are provided on the first and second connecting plates. After the fastening bolt 13 passes through the through holes, it engages with the fastening nut to fix the first semicircular clamp 11 and the second semicircular clamp 12 together. Alternatively, the fixing clamp 1 is connected to the outer side of the first semicircular hoop 11, one end of the first semicircular hoop 11 is hinged to one end of the second semicircular hoop 12, the other end of the first semicircular hoop 11 protrudes outward to form a first connecting plate, the other end of the second semicircular hoop 12 protrudes outward to form a second connecting plate, and through holes are provided on the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. After the fastening bolt 13 passes through the through hole, it is screwed into the fastening nut to fix the first semicircular hoop 11 and the second semicircular hoop 12 together.

[0039] Furthermore, the inner circumferential surfaces of the first semicircular hoop 11 and the second semicircular hoop 12 are provided with protruding toothed plates 14, and the toothed plates 14 have serrated teeth on their sides facing the manifold body 4. The purpose of providing toothed plates 14 is to increase the friction between the first wrench and the manifold body 4, so as to prevent the first wrench from slipping.

[0040] Furthermore, the fixing clamp 1, the first semicircular hoop 11, and the second semicircular hoop 12 are welded steel structures, and the first semicircular hoop 11 and the second semicircular hoop 12 can be made with corresponding circular grooves according to different manifold sizes.

[0041] Furthermore, the toothed plate 14 is a high-strength steel toothed plate. For example, the high-strength steel can be grade Q460 steel. Q460 steel has high strength, especially in the normalized or normalized and tempered state, where it has high comprehensive mechanical properties.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second wrench includes a first limiting member 21, a second limiting member 22, and a connecting pin 23.

[0043] The rotating clamp 2 is connected to the first limiting member 21. The two ends of the first limiting member 21 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second limiting member 22 through the connecting pin 23, thereby forming a ring structure. This ring structure can be fitted onto the fastening wing nut 5.

[0044] The first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 have grooves inside. A baffle 24 is provided in the groove corresponding to the protrusion 51 on the fastening nut 5. The baffle 24 is used to abut against the protrusion 51. In use, the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 are sleeved on the fastening nut 5 and connected with the connecting pin 23. Then, by extending the telescopic cylinder 3, the rotating clamp 2 drives the fastening nut 5 to rotate, realizing the assembly and disassembly of the drilling high-pressure circulation manifold.

[0045] Furthermore, both the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 include two parallel semi-circular ring plates, forming the groove between them. The ends of the two semi-circular ring plates are provided with pin holes for the insertion of the connecting pin 23. Specifically, in use, the pin holes at the ends of the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 overlap, and the connecting pin 23 passes through the pin holes to fix the first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 together.

[0046] Preferably, the telescopic cylinder 3 in this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder. This hydraulic cylinder is a one-way hydraulic telescopic cylinder with connection holes at both ends for easy connection to the fixing clamp 1 and the rotating clamp 2. In actual use, the operator can select a standard hydraulic cylinder with the appropriate thrust according to the different pressure ratings of the manifold.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] Reference Figure 3This embodiment provides another hydraulic wrench for disassembling and assembling high-pressure circulating manifolds for drilling. The difference from embodiment 1 is that the telescopic cylinder 3 in this embodiment is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.
