Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling equipment technology, specifically to a drill rod magazine lifting mechanism for drilling rigs. Background Technology
[0002] During drilling operations, the drill pipe magazine lifting mechanism is the core component for storing and retrieving drill pipes, and its performance directly affects the efficiency and reliability of drill pipe storage and retrieval. Traditional drill pipe magazine lifting mechanisms have many shortcomings: they are prone to swaying and shaking during lifting, resulting in large deviations in the drill pipe storage and retrieval position, which seriously affects operational efficiency; the load-bearing and transmission structure design is unreasonable, and jamming and shaking are prone to occur during lifting, even causing component damage; the proportion of sliding friction is high and the lateral force buffering is insufficient, resulting in rapid wear and short service life of key mating components such as the gantry and rollers.
[0003] Therefore, developing a drill pipe magazine lifting mechanism that is precise in guidance, stable in operation, and has controllable wear is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a drill rod magazine lifting mechanism for drilling rigs to solve the defects of poor guidance, insufficient stability and severe wear in the existing technology, and to achieve the technical effects of multi-dimensional precise guidance, smooth and efficient lifting and controllable component wear.
[0005] The drill rod magazine lifting mechanism for drilling rigs of this utility model includes a support and guide unit, a power transmission unit, and a fastening and protection unit. The specific structure and working principle of each unit are as follows:
[0006] 1. Supporting guide unit
[0007] Outer guide gantry: As the outer support frame of the overall mechanism, it provides basic structural strength and installation benchmark for other components.
[0008] Inner gantry body: It slides inside the outer guide gantry body and is the core moving component for load bearing and transmission. It can slide vertically inside the outer guide gantry body.
[0009] Gantry guide plate: Located at the mating surface between the inner gantry and the outer guide gantry, it enhances the guiding accuracy when the two slide relative to each other and effectively avoids swaying.
[0010] Gantry roller bearings: enable rolling contact between the inner gantry body and the outer guide gantry body, transforming traditional sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing wear and improving sliding smoothness.
[0011] The gantry pressure roller and gantry pressure roller pad are used to buffer the lateral pressure on the inner gantry body during lifting and lowering, and to avoid rigid wear and component deformation caused by uneven load.
[0012] Lateral auxiliary guide assembly: Composed of side roller bracket, side roller pin, side roller sleeve, side roller adjusting screw, side roller baffle, and side stop block. Specifically: The side roller sleeve is mounted on the side roller bracket via the side roller pin, providing lateral limiting and guidance for the inner gantry body; the side roller adjusting screw adaptively adjusts the gap between the side roller sleeve and the inner gantry body, preventing excessive gap from causing shaking or excessive gap from causing excessive wear; the side roller baffle and side stop block limit and protect the side roller assembly, preventing its displacement and failure.
[0013] 2. Power transmission unit
[0014] Drill pipe magazine lifting cylinder: It is hinged between the outer guide gantry and the inner gantry via a lifting cylinder pin, providing direct power for the lifting of the inner gantry.
[0015] The chain drive mechanism consists of a sprocket, a sprocket bushing, a drill pipe lifting drive chain one, a drill pipe lifting drive chain two, a chain link, and a chain connecting plate. Specifically, the sprocket is mounted on the sprocket shaft via the sprocket bushing. The sprocket shaft is fixed by a sprocket shaft pressure plate two and fasteners. The sprocket bushing reduces frictional resistance during sprocket rotation, improving transmission smoothness. Drill pipe lifting drive chains one and two mesh with the sprocket and are connected to the fork body that carries the drill pipe via the chain link and chain connecting plate, converting the rotation of the sprocket into the lifting motion of the fork body, thereby enabling the storage and retrieval of the drill pipe.
[0016] 3. Secure the protective unit
[0017] Reliable connections between components are achieved using fasteners of various specifications (such as hexagonal head bolts, hexagonal nuts, and socket head cap screws); elastic washers (such as elastic washer one and elastic washer two) are used for anti-loosening and vibration reduction, and flat washers are used to increase the force-bearing area, together ensuring the stability of the mechanism structure.
[0018] 4. Working Principle
[0019] When the drilling rig needs to lift and retrieve drill rods from the drill rod magazine: Power drive stage: The drill rod magazine lifting cylinder acts as the power source to perform the extension and retraction action. The cylinder piston rod extends or retracts, and through the hinge structure, it drives the inner gantry body to slide vertically along the outer guide gantry body.
[0020] Guiding constraint stage: During this process, the gantry roller bearings cause rolling friction between the inner gantry body and the outer guide gantry body, significantly reducing the motion resistance; the gantry guide plate, gantry pressure measuring wheel (7), and lateral auxiliary guide components (side roller sleeves, etc.) jointly constrain the motion trajectory of the inner gantry body to prevent swaying and shaking, and ensure lifting accuracy.
[0021] Transmission execution phase: The lifting and lowering of the inner gantry body synchronously drives the sprocket movement. The sprocket and drill rod lifting drive chain one and two meshing transmission, through the chain tie rod and chain connecting plate, convert the sprocket movement into the lifting and lowering movement of the fork shovel body, thereby realizing the picking or placing action of the drill rod. At the same time, the sprocket copper sleeve reduces the friction between the sprocket and the sprocket shaft, making the chain transmission smoother; various fastening and protection components ensure that the connection of each component is reliable, anti-loosening and shock-absorbing during power transmission and movement, further improving the overall stability and service life.
[0022] The inventiveness and novelty of this utility model are mainly reflected in the following: Through the coordinated operation of "gantry guide plate + gantry roller bearing + gantry pressure measuring wheel + lateral auxiliary guide assembly", multi-dimensional precise guidance in the longitudinal and lateral directions is achieved during the lifting and lowering of the inner gantry body, completely solving the defects of swaying and shaking in traditional mechanisms and ensuring the accuracy of drill rod storage and retrieval positions. Combined with the friction-reducing design of the sprocket copper bushing, the lifting and lowering of the fork shovel body is more stable and the transmission efficiency is higher; the load-bearing capacity and operational stability of the mechanism are greatly improved, meeting the storage and retrieval requirements of large-load drill rods. The side roller adjusting screw dynamically adapts the clearance to prevent excessive wear caused by improper clearance, significantly extending the overall service life of the mechanism.
