Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mud suction technology, specifically to an automatic drilling mud suction device. Background Technology
[0002] Drilling mud plays a crucial role in the drilling process by cooling the drill bit, carrying cuttings, stabilizing the wellbore, and balancing formation pressure. Mud suction is an important component of the drilling fluid circulation system. Through suction, mud containing cuttings can be transported from the bottom of the well to the surface, purified, and then reinjected into the well to ensure the smooth progress of drilling operations.
[0003] After the mud is extracted, it needs to be filtered to remove any mixed gravel before it can be returned to the well. However, if the mud is injected through a separate pipe, the mud will always be filtered at the same location in the filtration structure when it enters the mud pit. This can easily cause the filtration structure to become clogged, and its filtration capacity is relatively limited. It cannot guarantee efficient circulation of the mud, and the failure to remove gravel in a timely manner will also increase the risk of clogging. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic drilling mud suction device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a mud tank and a mud pump.

A pair of mounting blocks are slidably connected to the upper end of the mud tank. The mud pump is fixed to one of the mounting blocks. A diversion pipe is fixed to the end of the outlet pipe of the mud pump. An inlet pipe is fixed to the diversion pipe. A driving assembly for driving the mounting blocks to slide is provided at the upper opening of the mud tank. A scraper is installed between the mounting blocks, with the bottom of the scraper located above the filter screen.
[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a side plate and a linkage plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: including a mud tank 1 and a mud pump 2. The mud tank 1 is divided into a crushing chamber 12 and a mud chamber 13 by a partition 11. A filter screen 3 is fixed at the upper end of the crushing chamber 12. A pair of mounting blocks 4 are slidably connected to the upper end of the mud tank 1. The mud pump 2 is fixed on one of the mounting blocks 4. A diversion pipe 21 is fixed at the end of the outlet pipe of the mud pump 2. An inlet pipe 22 is fixed on the diversion pipe 21. A driving assembly for driving the mounting blocks 4 to slide is provided at the upper opening of the mud tank 1. A scraper 5 is installed between the mounting blocks 4. The bottom of the scraper 5 is located above the filter screen 3. A return pipe 14 is fixed below the side wall of the mud tank 1. A suction hose 23 is fixed to the inlet pipe of the mud pump 2.
[0018] The drive assembly includes a side plate 6 and a linkage plate 64. The linkage plate 64 is fixed between the upper ends of the mounting blocks 4. The side plates 6 are fixed on both sides of the upper end of the mud tank 1. A threaded rod 61 is rotatably connected between the side plates 6. The threaded rod 61 passes through the linkage plate 64 and is threadedly connected to the linkage plate 64. A servo motor 63 is fixed on the outside of the side plates 6. The output end of the servo motor 63 is fixed on the threaded rod 61. A guide rod 62 is fixed between the side plates 6. The guide rod 62 passes through the linkage plate 64 and is slidably connected to the linkage plate 64.
[0019] The mounting block 4 has a mounting groove 42 on one side close to it. The mounting shaft 43 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 42. The two ends of the scraper 5 are located in the mounting groove 42 and are fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 43. The mounting groove 42 is a right-angled trapezoidal groove. The bottom of the mounting block 4 has a sliding groove 41. The upper end of the mud tank 1 is located in the sliding groove 41.
[0020] Working principle: First, connect the entire device to an external power source and connect the suction hose 23 to the end of the drill rod. Use the mud pump 2 to automatically extract mud from the borehole and discharge it into the mud tank 1. At this time, the mud is discharged from the outlet pipe of the mud pump 2. After being diverted by the diversion pipe 21, it can be injected into the sewage tank through different discharge pipes 22. After being filtered by the filter screen 3, gravel in the mud can be removed. During this process, the servo motor 63 drives the threaded rod 61 to rotate, causing the linkage plate 64 to slide horizontally, which in turn drives the mounting block 4 to slide horizontally. During this process, the threaded rod 61 rotates, causing the linkage plate 64 to slide horizontally. The position of the discharge pipe 22 is constantly changing, and filtration is performed at different positions on the filter screen 3. This ensures that the filtered gravel is evenly distributed on the filter screen 3, reducing the risk of clogging. During the sliding of the mounting block 4, the scraper 5 can slide synchronously to scrape off the gravel on the surface of the filter screen 3, preventing it from accumulating on the filter screen 3. The scraper 5 is installed in right-angled trapezoidal grooves at both ends. When it moves towards the gravel chamber 12, it will only rotate to an upright position, while when it moves in the opposite direction, it can rotate to an inclined position. Therefore, it can achieve the purpose of always pushing the gravel towards the gravel chamber 12.
