Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engineering machinery, and in particular relates to a leveling and holding device for a drilling rig platform. Background Technology
[0002] A drilling rig is a mechanical device used for drilling operations, widely applied in geological exploration, oil and gas extraction, construction engineering, and water well drilling. Its core function is to create boreholes in the formation by rotating a drill bit or other drilling tools to meet the needs of resource extraction, engineering foundation construction, or geological data acquisition. A drilling rig platform refers to the foundation structure or worktable used to support and operate the drilling equipment. It provides a stable working environment for drilling operations, ensuring the safe operation of the drilling rig.
[0003] Traditional drilling platforms often operate on complex and varied terrain, including uneven surfaces and undulating slopes. When placed on such uneven ground, the platform is prone to tilting. Currently, leveling is primarily determined manually, but this method has significant drawbacks: it is slow to respond and requires considerable time for manual adjustment. Furthermore, the limited precision of manual adjustments often necessitates multiple attempts to achieve a relatively level position. These interconnected problems severely impact operational efficiency, significantly increase labor costs, and reduce overall equipment performance and construction safety.
[0004] Therefore, a drilling platform leveling and holding device is particularly needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional drilling platforms that rely on manual observation and judgment of level, such as slow response, long leveling time, and low adjustment accuracy, which affect efficiency, increase costs, and reduce performance and safety, this utility model provides a drilling platform leveling and holding device.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical means: A drilling platform leveling and holding device includes a support platform, a water tank, a first water pipe, a water pipe, a water pump, a second water pipe, a connecting pipe, a sleeve, a sliding column, a leveling detection component, a drilling rig body, and a controller. The support platform serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the entire device. Multiple water tanks distributed along a rectangular direction are installed on its top. The water tanks are filled with liquid. A first water pipe is fixedly connected to each water tank. A water pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the first water pipe near the bottom surface of the water tank. The water pipe is in close contact with the bottom surface of the water tank and has multiple water inlets. A sleeve is fixedly connected to each of the multiple corners of the support platform. A [missing information - likely a device or component] is installed at the top of each sleeve. A water pump has a water pipe extending to the outside of a water storage tank and fixedly connected to the corresponding water pump. Each water pump has a water pipe fixedly connected to it, which passes through the interior of a corresponding sleeve. A sliding column is slidably installed inside each sleeve, and there is a water storage cavity between the top of the sliding column and the top of the sleeve. The water pipe is aligned with the corresponding water storage cavity. One end of each water pipe is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, which is located in the corresponding water storage cavity and slides through the corresponding sliding column. Multiple water passage holes are opened on the connecting pipe. The drilling rig body is installed on a support platform, and the controller is installed on the upper part of the support platform. Both the water pump and the drilling rig body are electrically connected to the controller. The leveling and detection component is located at the top of the support platform.
[0007] To further explain, the leveling and detection assembly includes square water pipes, sliding plates, guide rods, second springs, pressure rods, support plates, and buttons. Multiple square water pipes arranged in a U-shape are installed at the top of the support platform. Each square water pipe contains liquid, and two symmetrically distributed sliding plates are slidably mounted inside each square water pipe. Two symmetrically distributed guide rods are fixed to each sliding plate. Two symmetrically distributed support plates are fixed to each of the four sides of the top of the support platform. The guide rods pass through the corresponding support plates and are slidably connected to them. A second spring is sleeved on the outside of each guide rod, and both ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding plate and the corresponding support plate, respectively. A pressure rod is fixed to each sliding plate, and a button is mounted on each support plate, with the pressure rod facing the corresponding button. The button is electrically connected to the controller.
[0008] To further explain, it also includes support rods, a first spring, and a fixing plate. Each sliding column has a fixing plate fixedly connected to the end away from the support platform. Multiple support rods are slidably arranged on each fixing plate. A first spring is sleeved on one end of each support rod. The two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the corresponding support rod and the corresponding fixing plate, respectively.
[0009] To further explain, it also includes a sealing gasket, with a sealing gasket fixed to the bottom end of each sleeve, and the sealing gasket is in close contact with the outer wall of the corresponding sliding column.
[0010] To further explain, each support rod is equipped with a limiting ring, which is tightly attached to the corresponding fixing plate.
[0011] To further explain, each lever is fitted with a circular pressing plate at the end facing the corresponding button, and the pressing plate has an area larger than the button.
[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. By cooperating with the square water pipe, slide plate, pressure bar, button and water pump in the leveling detection component and the controller, a precise and reliable leveling and holding mechanism is constructed. It can detect the tilt status of the support platform in real time and automatically start the water pump to perform the leveling operation without manual intervention, which greatly improves the leveling efficiency and accuracy, ensures that the drilling rig body works stably in a horizontal state, improves the quality and safety of drilling operations, and ensures the overall operation performance and construction safety of the device.

[0024] A drilling rig platform leveling and holding device, such as Figures 1-6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it includes a support platform 1, a water storage tank 2, a water pipe 1 201, a water pipe 202, a water pump 203, a water pipe 2 204, a connecting pipe 205, a sleeve 3, a sliding column 301, a sealing gasket 304, a leveling and detection assembly, a drilling rig body 5, and a controller 6.
[0025] The support platform 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the entire device. Four water storage tanks 2, arranged in a rectangular pattern, are bolted to its top. Each water storage tank 2 is filled with liquid (such as water). A water pipe 201 is fixedly connected to each water storage tank 2. A water pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water pipe 201 near the bottom of the inner surface of the water storage tank 2. The water pipe 202 is in close contact with the inner bottom surface of the water storage tank 2 and has multiple water inlets to ensure that the liquid in the water storage tank 2 can be fully extracted.
[0026] A sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the support platform 1. A water pump 203 is bolted to the top of each sleeve 3. A water pipe 201 extends to the upper end of the outside of the water storage tank 2 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding water pump 203. A water pipe 204 is fixedly connected to each water pump 203. The water pipe 204 passes through the interior of the corresponding sleeve 3. A sliding column 301 is slidably installed inside each sleeve 3. There is a water storage cavity between the top of the sliding column 301 and the top of the inner end of the sleeve 3. The water pipe 204 is aligned with the corresponding water storage cavity. A connecting pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sleeve 204. The connecting pipe 205 is located in the corresponding water storage cavity and passes through the corresponding sliding column 301, and is slidably connected to the sliding column 301. Multiple vertically distributed water passage holes are opened on the connecting pipe 205 so that the liquid can smoothly enter the water storage cavity and act on the sliding column 301. A sealing gasket 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each sleeve 3. The sealing gasket 304 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the corresponding sliding column 301, thereby preventing the liquid in the water storage cavity from overflowing from the gap between the sleeve 3 and the sliding column 301.
[0027] The drilling rig body 5 is bolted to the support platform 1, and the controller 6 is bolted to the upper left front side of the support platform 1. The water pump 203 and the drilling rig body 5 are both electrically connected to the controller 6 to control the water pump 203 and the drilling rig body 5. The leveling detection component is set at the top of the support platform 1 and is responsible for detecting the tilt state of the support platform 1.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the leveling and detection assembly includes a square water pipe 4, a sliding plate 401, a guide rod 402, a second spring 403, a pressure rod 404, a support plate 405, and a button 406;
[0029] The top of the support platform 1 is bolted with four square water pipes 4 arranged in a U-shape. Each square water pipe 4 contains liquid, and two symmetrically arranged sliding plates 401 are slidably mounted inside each square water pipe 4. Two symmetrically arranged guide rods 402 are fixedly connected to each sliding plate 401. Two symmetrically arranged support plates 405 are fixedly connected to each of the four sides of the top of the support platform 1. The guide rods 402 pass through the corresponding support plates 405 and are slidably connected to them, providing guidance for the movement of the sliding plates 401. A second spring 403 is sleeved on the outside of each guide rod 402, with both ends of the second spring 403 fixed to the corresponding sliding plate 401 and the corresponding support plate 405, respectively. A fixed connection is provided to the slide plate 401 to provide a reset force. A pressure rod 404 is fixedly connected to each slide plate 401, and a button 406 is provided on each support plate 405. The pressure rod 404 faces the corresponding button 406. The button 406 is electrically connected to the controller 6. When the slide plate 401 moves and causes the pressure rod 404 to press the button 406, the button 406 can transmit a signal to the controller 6, thereby triggering the corresponding leveling action. A circular pressing plate is equipped at the end of each pressure rod 404 facing the corresponding button 406. The area of the pressing plate is larger than that of the button 406 to ensure that the button 406 can be fully pressed during the movement of the slide plate 401, avoiding signal transmission errors due to insufficient pressing.
[0030] like Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a support rod 302, a first spring 303, and a fixing plate 305;
[0031] Each sliding column 301 has a fixed plate 305 fixedly connected to its lower end away from the support platform 1. Multiple support rods 302 are slidably arranged on each fixed plate 305. A first spring 303 is sleeved on the upper end of each support rod 302. The upper and lower ends of the first spring 303 are fixedly connected to the corresponding support rod 302 and the corresponding fixed plate 305, respectively, to provide a reset force for the support rod 302. Each support rod 302 is provided with a limiting ring, which is in close contact with the corresponding fixed plate 305, thereby limiting the maximum downward sliding stroke of the support rod 302 during subsequent reset.
[0032] When this device is needed, the operator places the device on the target ground. During placement, the support rod 302 is in contact with the ground in advance. If there is a depression on the ground, the support rod 302 aligned with the depression sinks into it, while the other support rods 302 are squeezed and slid into the sliding column 301. The first spring 303 is compressed, thus achieving the initial stable placement of the device on the uneven ground.
[0033] After placement, if the support platform 1 tilts, the liquid in the square water pipe 4 at the lower tilt point flows towards the lower tilt point, thereby pushing the corresponding slide plate 401 to slide outward. As the slide plate 401 slides, the second spring 403 is compressed. At the same time, the slide plate 401 drives the pressure rod 404 to move outward synchronously, so that the pressure rod 404 contacts and squeezes the corresponding button 406. After the button 406 is pressed, it transmits a signal to the controller 6. After receiving the signal, the controller 6 starts the corresponding water pump 203 to run.
[0034] When the water pump 203 is running, it draws liquid from the water storage tank 2 through the first water pipe 201 and sends the liquid into the connecting pipe 205 through the second water pipe 204. Finally, the liquid flows out from the water passage of the connecting pipe 205 into the water storage chamber. As the liquid in the water storage chamber increases, the water pressure gradually squeezes the sliding column 301 downward, thereby raising the tilted lower part of the support platform 1. When the sliding column 301 moves down to the appropriate position, making the tilted part of the support platform 1 horizontal, the liquid in the square water pipe 4 reaches a relatively balanced state and no longer exerts a pushing force on the slide plate 401. At this time, the second spring 403 quickly returns to its original state, pushing the slide plate 401 to slide inward and reset. The slide plate 401 drives the pressure rod 404 to move inward synchronously, stopping the squeezing button 406. The signal of the button 406 stops being transmitted to the controller 6, and the controller 6 controls the corresponding water pump 203 to shut down, completing one leveling operation.
[0035] If other parts of the support platform 1 also tilt, the leveling system will start the leveling operation according to the same principle and process described above to ensure that the support platform 1 remains horizontal. This automatic and continuous leveling mechanism can respond in a timely manner to various factors that may cause the support platform 1 to tilt, providing a stable and horizontal working platform for the drilling rig body 5.
[0036] It is worth noting that the liquid in the water storage chamber is not for single use, but can be sent back to the water storage tank 2 through the connecting pipe 205, water pipe 204 and water pump 203 to achieve liquid recycling.
