Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a derrick-type continuous tubing work vehicle, belonging to the field of petroleum machinery technology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing coiled tubing installation equipment requires crane assistance during on-site operations. The crane lifts the injection head above the wellhead, increasing the difficulty of on-site work, and resulting in long preparation times and high construction costs. Chinese Patent CN 201520188049.4 discloses a telescopic derrick type coiled tubing installation vehicle, which solves the problem of not needing a large-tonnage crane to lift the injection head by combining a chassis vehicle with a telescopic derrick assembly. However, it still has the following problems: 1. The structural layout of the vehicle is unreasonable and its function is limited, only carrying the telescopic derrick assembly, injection head assembly, blowout preventer assembly, and blowout preventer assembly. Equipment such as tubing rollers and hose rollers cannot be transported together. 2. When in use, the telescopic derrick assembly is suspended only by steel wire, which presents installation problems and prevents the injection head assembly and other components from moving in all directions, making precise alignment with the wellhead impossible.

The lifting platform 403 is raised and lowered by the steel wire rope of the main winch 408.
[0046] like Figure 10 As shown, in order to maintain the stability of the lifting platform 403 during the lifting process, preferably, there are two derrick pulleys 413, which are symmetrically arranged on the upper crossbeam of the upper derrick 412. The upper end face of the lifting platform 403 is provided with platform pulley one 414 and platform pulley two 415 symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The main winch 408 is wound with a steel wire rope. The end of the steel wire rope passes around the derrick pulley 413 on the same side and then returns to the lifting platform. It then passes around platform pulley one 414 and platform pulley two 415 in sequence and returns to the derrick pulley 413 on the other side before returning to the lifting platform and being fixedly connected to it.
[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 402 comprises a slider 40201 and a support frame 40202 connected to the slider.

The lever of the tilting cylinder 410 is connected to the tilting platform 404. The extension and retraction of the tilting cylinder 410 pulls the tilting platform 404 to rotate back and forth along the rotating shaft, thus achieving the vertical position of the injection head assembly 7. The tilting platform 404 has a rectangular frame structure. The lifting platform 403 is equipped with a translation cylinder 411, whose lever is connected to the tilting platform 404. The extension and retraction of the translation cylinder 411 causes the tilting platform 404 to slide left and right along the rotating shaft in the vehicle width direction, thus achieving the left and right position adjustment of the injection head assembly 7. An injection head base is provided inside the tilting platform 404, and the injection head of the injection head assembly 7 is fixed to the injection head base 701 by a pin.
[0050] The main winch 408 pulls the lifting platform 403 up and down via a wire rope. The motor 40301 drives the lead screw 40302 to rotate, thereby moving the lifting platform 403 back and forth. The extension and retraction of the tilting cylinder 410 pulls the tilting platform 404 to rotate along the rotation axis. The extension and retraction of the translation cylinder 411 causes the tilting platform 404 to slide left and right along the width of the vehicle. The upper derrick 412 is lifted and lowered by the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 409. The movement of the lifting platform 403 and the tilting platform 404 drives the injection head assembly 7 to move up, down, back and forth, and left and right along the portal frame structure, making it easier for the injection head assembly 7 and components such as the blowout preventer 8 to be aligned with the wellhead.
[0051] The top two sides of the upper derrick 412 are respectively connected to one end of two cable-stayed assemblies 407. The two cable-stayed assemblies 407 are respectively connected to the corresponding support assemblies 406. The support assemblies 406 are fixed on the semi-trailer 1 to maintain the stability of the portal frame structure.

[0054] The hose reel 6 includes an injection head control hose reel, a blowout preventer (BOP) control hose reel, a derrick platform hose reel, and an injection head power hose reel. The injection head control hose reel and the BOP control hose reel are used for winding and unwinding the injection head control lines and the BOP control lines; the derrick platform hose reel and the injection head power hose reel are used for winding and unwinding the coiled tubing derrick control lines and the injection head power lines.
[0055] The injection head assembly 7 includes: an injection head, a guide gooseneck, and a front bracket; the injection head assembly 7 is integrally disposed at the rear end of the semi-trailer, and the guide gooseneck is installed at the top center of the injection head; the injection head base is installed on the tipping platform and fixed by four pins; the front bracket is used to support the injection head.
[0056] Before the operation, preparations need to be made. The work vehicle is parked in front of the wellhead. The semi-trailer hydraulic outriggers are used to fix the vehicle to ensure stability. The upper derrick 412 is slowly raised to a vertical position by lifting cylinder 409. The position of injection head assembly 7 is adjusted to be connected with blowout preventer 8 by tilting cylinder 410 and translating cylinder 411. Then, the continuous tubing is led out from tubing roller 5 and lowered into the well through injection head.
[0057] After the operation is completed, the drive tilting cylinder 410 is retracted, the injection head assembly 7 is tilted down, the drive lifting cylinder 409 is retracted, and the upper derrick 412 is lowered to the transport position.
