Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil drilling equipment, and in particular to a rotary hook for iron drillers. Background Technology
[0002] A spinner is a tool used in oilfield drilling and well workover operations to connect and disconnect drill pipes, drill collars, tubing, casing, and milling sleeves. Its invention has greatly reduced the labor intensity of these processes, improving work efficiency and safety. The spinner is one of the key components of the spinner; its main function is to quickly spin-couple the tubing during the non-flush stage of connection and disconnection. After the quick spin-coupling, the spinner's tongs perform the flushing. Overall, the spinner's rapid spin-coupling speed and maximum torque are key indicators of the spinner's performance, determining the overall efficiency of the equipment.
[0003] According to the different clamping methods, the commonly used iron drill bit twisting devices on the market can generally be divided into three types: V-type clamping, H-type clamping, and parallel clamping. (1) The main feature of the V-type clamping mechanism is that there is a common hinge point on the two supports. The left and right twisting wheel groups are clamped under the action of hydraulic cylinder pulling force and make arc motion with the hinge point as the center. When clamping pipes of different diameters, the twisting wheel group will have a certain offset in the front and back direction. Therefore, it is necessary to set up other mechanisms to compensate for the offset distance. (2) The main feature of the H-type clamping mechanism is that the two supports are connected by a support frame and a hydraulic cylinder is installed on the back side to form a lever mechanism. The left and right twisting wheel groups are clamped under the action of hydraulic cylinder thrust. The twisting wheel group still makes arc motion with the hinge point between the support and the support frame as the center. It will also produce the same offset as the V-type clamping mechanism and a compensation mechanism is required. (3) The main feature of the parallel clamping mechanism is that there is a slide rail between the two supports, and both move in a straight line along the slide rail. When clamping the pipe column, there is no offset in the front and back direction, and no compensation structure is required. However, the mechanism is more complex and the structure is larger in size.
[0004] Each of the three mechanisms has its own advantages and disadvantages. The V-type and H-type structures are relatively simple, but require separate compensation mechanisms. Since the V-type clamps with tension, the required clamping cylinder size is generally larger than that of the H-type structure. The parallel clamping mechanism does not require a compensation structure, but it is complex and bulky. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rotary valve that can adapt to pipe columns of different diameters, can automatically center without the need for a separate compensation mechanism, and has a simple structure.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rotary hook for iron drillers, including a connecting frame assembly. A set of two lifting spring mechanisms are installed on the back of the connecting frame assembly. A bearing is provided on the inner side of the connecting frame assembly to match the rotary hook guide rail. The top of the rotary hook guide rail is connected to the rotary hook bracket.
[0007] The rotary buckle bracket is a U-shaped bracket. The back of the rotary buckle bracket is equipped with a control valve group, and the front ends of both sides are equipped with clamping cylinders. A through waist-shaped slide groove is set in the middle. The left and right rotary buckle wheels can clamp or open synchronously along the waist-shaped slide groove.
[0008] The bottom plate of the connecting frame assembly is provided with pin holes and bolt holes, which can fix the entire rotary buckle on the rotary buckle clamp mechanism. The back of the connecting frame assembly is provided with two guide rods, and the lifting spring is installed on the guide rods. The top of the guide rod is provided with a limiting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the two inner sides of the connecting frame assembly is provided with two cylindrical roller bearings. The cylindrical roller bearings are welded and fixed on the square mounting base and matched with the rotary fastener guide rail. The rotary fastener guide rail and the rotary fastener body can slide in the vertical direction. The top of the rotary fastener guide rail is provided with a pin hole and a bolt hole for fixing the rotary fastener bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, the front ends of both sides of the rotary buckle bracket are provided with cylinder mounting seats. The clamping cylinder is connected to the cylinder mounting seats by bolts. The cylinder rod faces inward. The control valve group is provided in the center of the back of the rotary buckle bracket. Support ears are provided on both sides of the back. The support ears rest on the guide rod on the back of the connecting frame assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the sliding rods on the inner sides of the left-hand and right-hand locking wheels slide left and right in the waist-shaped sliding groove with the help of wear-resistant bushings. Under the action of the control valve group and the clamping cylinder, the left-hand and right-hand locking wheels can move towards or away from the center simultaneously to achieve the function of clamping or releasing the tubing.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping cylinder is connected to the push rod via a universal ball joint. A thrust pin is provided in the middle of the left-hand and right-hand locking wheels. The thrust pin falls into the push rod hole, thereby transmitting the clamping cylinder force to the left-hand locking wheel assembly and the right-hand locking wheel assembly.
[0013] Furthermore, both the left-hand and right-hand rotating wheel assemblies consist of a hydraulic motor, a roller, a welded bracket, a motor mounting base, a drive head, and a transmission assembly.
[0014] Furthermore, the motor mounting base is fixed in the groove of the welded bracket, the hydraulic motor is connected to the motor mounting base by bolts, the motor drive shaft is inserted into the drive head, and the torque is transmitted through a key. A pair of tapered roller bearings are installed face to face on both sides of the protrusion in the middle of the drive head. The bottom of the motor mounting base is equipped with a skeleton oil seal, and the top is equipped with a threaded pressure ring to press the tapered roller bearings. The bottom of the drive head is connected to the roller, and the torque is transmitted and limited through a pair of hook wedge keys.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) The direct push clamping mechanism of this utility model combines the left and right brackets into a U-shaped bracket. Two clamping cylinders are fixed on both sides of the bracket and directly push the rotating wheel group to clamp and open. The rotating wheel group only makes linear motion and does not produce front-back offset when clamping pipe columns of different diameters.
[0017] (2) This utility model arranges the clamping cylinder on both sides of the bracket, unlike other structures that arrange the cylinder on the rear side, which can significantly shorten the length of the rotary buckle in the front-to-back direction and make the structure simple and compact.
[0018] (3) The weight of the rotating device body is supported by the lifting spring, so that the rotating device can have a certain displacement when it moves vertically with the pipe column, and compensates the thread when rotating quickly to avoid damage to the thread.
