[0008] This invention designs a quick-connect device as a variable rise flange assembly and a fixed rise flange assembly, which can be quickly connected via a quick-locking device. Different specifications of the variable rise flange assembly can be selected based on the equipment installed at the bottom of the quick-connect device, such as a sleeve head assembly or an intermediate sleeve head four-way assembly. The fixed rise flange assembly does not need to be disassembled. The variable rise flange assembly and the fixed rise flange assembly can be quickly connected via the quick-locking device, which greatly improves the installation efficiency of the quick-connect device. Furthermore, only different specifications of the variable rise flange assembly need to be designed, saving significant production costs.
[0009] Furthermore, the quick-locking device includes two or more arc-shaped locking plates, which are fixed together by fastening bolts. The inner side of the locking plates is provided with a groove for locking the edge of the variable riser flange and the bottom fixed riser flange.
[0010] Furthermore, a bottom metal sealing gasket ring is provided between the bottom of the variable rise flange and the sleeve head assembly or the intermediate sleeve head four-way assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, a top metal sealing gasket ring is provided between the top of the fixed riser flange and the working blowout preventer.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing rings include, but are not limited to, lip seals, O-rings with retaining rings, metal seals, and packing seals.
[0013] Technical effects of this utility model:
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the quick connection device for wellhead equipment of this utility model allows for the selection of different variable riser assemblies at the drilling and completion site after the blowout preventer is fastened to the top of the fixed riser flange assembly. This eliminates the need to disassemble the fixed riser flange assembly, thus meeting the site requirements. It has the advantages of quick installation, easy maintenance, and low cost.
