Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil and gas drilling operation technology, and in particular to a tooling for arranging and positioning hydraulic control hoses for blowout preventer (BOP) assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Blowout preventers (BOPs) are critical well control equipment in oil and gas drilling operations. They are primarily used to control wellhead pressure, seal the wellhead, and prevent blowouts during drilling, making them essential for ensuring drilling safety. In practical applications, BOP assemblies typically include multiple hydraulic control hoses to connect the surface control system to the BOP body for remote hydraulic drive control. However, these hydraulic control hoses are numerous, long, and densely packed. They are not only heavy but also somewhat flexible. During actual installation, the hoses are often left loose on the ground, making them prone to bending, tangling, loosening, and wear. This not only affects the service life of the hoses and the stability of the control system but also creates a cluttered environment, hinders personnel movement, and poses certain safety hazards.
[0003] Furthermore, during equipment inspection, maintenance, or replacement, if the hydraulic control hoses are arranged in a disorderly manner, it is easy to encounter situations such as incorrect hose identification and confusion in connections, which in turn affects the accuracy of maintenance.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a positioning fixture that can organize and fix the hose. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a sorting and positioning fixture for hydraulic control hoses of blowout preventer assembly, so as to effectively fix and classify multiple hydraulic control hoses, which can improve installation and maintenance efficiency, and ensure the safety, stability and aesthetics of the hoses during operation.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tooling for arranging and positioning hydraulic control hoses of blowout preventer units, including a base plate and a movable cover plate. One end of the base plate and the movable cover plate are hinged together, and the other end of the base plate and the movable cover plate are detachably connected. The base plate has multiple slots for placing hydraulic control hoses of the blowout preventer unit.
[0007] Furthermore, mounting plates are provided on both sides of the base plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the other end of the base plate is provided with a lower fixing block, and a threaded groove is provided on the lower fixing block. The other end of the movable cover plate is provided with an upper fixing block, and a threaded rod is screwed onto the upper fixing block. When the movable cover plate is connected and locked to the base plate, the threaded rod is screwed into the threaded groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the tube placement groove is U-shaped, and elastic blocks are provided on the inner wall of the vertical surface of the tube placement groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the elastic stop is triangular.
[0011] Furthermore, vertical grooves are provided at the bottom of the movable cover plate corresponding to the pipe placement groove, and springs are provided in the vertical grooves to support a pipe pressure plate downwards.
[0012] Furthermore, the side of the pressure plate is provided with a slider, and the side wall of the vertical groove is provided with a corresponding side sliding groove to prevent the pressure plate from detaching from the vertical groove, and the slider is installed in the side sliding groove.
[0013] Furthermore, a movable plate is provided inside the vertical groove, and a spring is set between the pressure plate and the movable plate. The initial degree of compression of the spring is controlled by adjusting the initial position of the movable plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a control plate is provided on the movable cover, and a connecting rod is provided on the top of the movable plate. The top of the connecting rod extends to the outside of the movable cover and is fixedly connected to the control plate. The up and down movement of the movable plate is synchronously controlled by the up and down movement of the control plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the control panel is equipped with a nut, and a lead screw is screwed to the inner wall of the nut. The bottom end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on a movable cover plate, and a handwheel is fixedly connected to the top end of the lead screw. Rotating the handwheel drives the control panel to move up and down.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model can achieve standardized organization: by setting multiple pipe placement slots on the base plate, hydraulic control hoses can be placed in sequence and in separate slots, avoiding scattered stacking and improving on-site cleanliness and operational standardization.
[0018] 2. This utility model facilitates tube placement: The tube placement groove is equipped with an elastic stop block, which can effectively prevent the tube from slipping out on its own. Even without the cover plate, the tube can be placed stably, making it convenient to place tubes one by one.
[0019] 3. The hose positioning stability of this utility model is excellent: the movable cover plate and the bottom plate are used together, and an elastic pressure plate is set inside the cover plate to form a clamping structure, which improves the hose's ability to resist vibration and prevent displacement.
[0020] 4. This utility model has wide applicability: The pressure plate is supported by springs and has good elastic adjustment capability, which can adapt to hydraulic control hoses of different diameters or slight size differences, thus having a wider range of applications.
[0021] 5. The pressure of this utility model is adjustable: the spring preload can be adjusted as needed, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the pressure plate and further improving the fixing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
[0030] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4The tooling for arranging and positioning hydraulic control hoses of the blowout preventer assembly according to this utility model embodiment includes a base plate 1 and a movable cover plate 2 hinged at one end. The base plate 1 can be installed on the bearing base of the blowout preventer assembly through mounting plates 3 (mounting plates 3 have mounting holes) provided on both sides.
[0032] The base plate 1 and the other end of the movable cover plate 2 are detachably connected. Specifically, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a lower fixing block 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate 1, and a threaded groove 7 is provided on the top of the lower fixing block 4. An upper fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable cover plate 2, and a threaded rod 6 is screwed into the inner wall of the upper fixing block 5. By screwing the threaded rod 6 into the threaded groove 7, the position of the movable cover plate 2 can be locked, keeping it in the "covered" state. Conversely, when the threaded rod 6 is disengaged from the threaded groove 7, the movable cover plate 2 can be freely lifted.
[0033] This invention features multiple U-shaped slots 8 evenly distributed on the top of the base plate 1 for holding the hydraulic control hoses of the blowout preventer assembly. Each slot 8 has an elastic stop 9 on its vertical inner wall, the cross-section of which is triangular (preferably inverted triangular). When the hydraulic control hose is inserted, it is squeezed and passes over the elastic stop 9. After insertion, the hose is prevented from easily detaching from the slot 8 by the elastic stop 9, even when the movable cover 2 is not closed. The elastic stop of this invention allows the hose to be inserted but is difficult to remove, providing initial protection.
[0034] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a vertical groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the movable cover plate 2 corresponding to each pipe placement groove 8. A pressure plate 11 is supported downward by a spring 14 inside the vertical groove 10, which can effectively press and position the hose. When the movable cover plate 2 is closed, the pressure of the pressure plate 11 and the elastic force of the spring 14 can make the position of the hydraulic control hose more stable and less prone to slippage.
[0035] Meanwhile, thanks to the flexible design of the pressure plate 11, it can also adapt to hydraulic control hoses with slightly different sizes, and can be effectively positioned even if the size of the hydraulic control hose is slightly smaller.
[0036] A slider 12 is also fixedly installed on the side of the pressure plate 11. The slider 12 is slidably installed in the side slide groove 13. The slider 12 plays a limiting role to prevent the pressure plate 11 from detaching from the vertical groove 10.
[0037] like Figure 4As shown, the spring 14 is disposed between the pressure plate 11 and the movable plate 15. The movable plate 15 is disposed vertically within the vertical groove 10. By adjusting the initial position of the movable plate 15, the initial degree of compression of the spring 14 can be controlled, thereby controlling the magnitude of the downward pressure of the pressure plate 11 and further improving the performance.
[0038] Specifically, a connecting rod 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 15. The top of the connecting rod 16 extends to the outside of the movable cover plate 2 and is fixedly connected to a control plate 17. By moving the control plate 17 up and down, the up and down movement of multiple movable plates 15 can be controlled synchronously, making operation more convenient.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a screw nut 18 is fixedly installed on the control board 17. A screw rod 19 is screwed to the inner wall of the screw nut 18. The bottom end of the screw rod 19 is rotatably installed on the movable cover plate 2, and the top end is fixedly connected to a handwheel 20. Thus, by rotating the handwheel 20, the control board 17 can be driven to move up and down through the transmission between the screw rod 19 and the screw nut 18.
[0040] In this invention, multiple movable plates 15 are linked together by the same control plate 17. The control plate 17 is driven by the handwheel 20 to rotate the lead screw 19 to rise and fall, thereby realizing centralized adjustment of multi-point pressure, which is convenient and efficient to operate.
[0041] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can effectively fix and classify multiple hydraulic control hoses, which can improve installation and maintenance efficiency, and ensure the safety, stability and aesthetics of the hoses during operation.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
