Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil drilling rig technology, and in particular relates to an independent air shifting system for the left and right gearboxes of an ultra-deep well AC variable frequency drilling rig. Background Technology

[0002] The development of oil drilling rigs has always been a focus of the oil industry. With continuous oil extraction and the gradual depletion of shallow resources, the trend is now towards ultra-deep well drilling rigs. Simultaneously, the hoisting capacity of the winch plays an irreplaceable and decisive role in this development. Currently, most deep and ultra-deep well AC variable frequency drilling rig winches in the industry are dual-drive winches with left and right gearboxes. However, the air shift control of the winch is basically controlled by a set of solenoid valves to control the simultaneous shifting of the left and right gearboxes. The drawback of this control is that in the early stages of drilling, when the tripping load is relatively small, when one gearbox is driving the winch, the other gearbox cannot disengage and can only be passively dragged along, increasing the wear of the non-working gearbox. At the same time, the corresponding lubrication pump also needs to work normally, wasting energy. This is insufficient to meet the demands of modern oil machinery for high efficiency, energy saving, reliability, and environmental protection. Therefore, developing an independent air shifting system for the left and right gearboxes of the winch in ultra-deep well AC variable frequency drilling rigs is particularly important. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an independent air-shifting system for the left and right gearboxes of the winch in an ultra-deep well AC variable frequency drilling rig. This invention solves the problem in the current oil drilling industry where, during the early stages of drilling with ultra-deep well AC variable frequency drilling rigs, the tripping load is relatively low. When only one gearbox is used to drive the winch, the other gearbox cannot be disengaged and can only be passively dragged along. This results in passive wear of the non-working gearbox, while the corresponding lubrication pump also needs to operate normally, wasting energy. The invention meets the requirement that one gearbox be used while the other is on standby during low-load operation of the winch in the early stages of drilling, and that both gearboxes work simultaneously during high-load operation of the winch in deep wells. The winch gearbox operates "when needed, and stops when on standby," replacing the traditional "operates only when not needed," ensuring simple operation, high efficiency, energy saving, safety, and environmental protection.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an independent pneumatic shifting system for the left and right gearboxes of an ultra-deep well AC variable frequency drilling rig, the system comprising a three-position gear selection switch, a three-position shift locking switch, and a three-position left and right gearbox selection switch, wherein the three-position gear selection switch, the three-position shift locking switch, and the three-position left and right gearbox selection switch are connected to the input terminal of a PLC via cables.

[0005] Furthermore, the output terminal of the PLC is connected to the normally closed solenoid valve group via a cable.

[0006] Furthermore, each solenoid valve in the normally closed solenoid valve group is connected to the air source collection pipe of the valve island box and the shifting and locking cylinders of the left and right gearboxes of the winch via air pipelines.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Addressing the drawbacks of current ultra-deep well drilling rigs where, during the early stages of drilling, the tripping load is relatively small, and when only one gearbox drives the winch, the other gearbox cannot disengage and is passively dragged along, increasing wear on the non-working gearbox and requiring the corresponding lubrication pump to operate normally, thus wasting energy, this utility model achieves independent control of the left and right gearboxes of the winch. It enables dynamic adjustment of the dual gearbox operating mode according to drilling conditions, balancing the needs of "one backup, one in use" in shallow wells and "dual gearbox coordination" in deep wells. This meets the demands of modern petroleum machinery for high efficiency, energy saving, reliability, and environmental protection. Attached Figure Description
