Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drilling fluid treatment technology, and in particular relates to a separation device for purifying drilling fluid. Background Technology

[0002] Drilling fluid separation equipment is an indispensable key piece of equipment in oil drilling operations. It is mainly used to treat waste drilling fluid generated during the drilling process, achieving solid-liquid separation and resource recovery. Solid particles in drilling fluid increase wear on equipment components such as drilling pumps and drill bits, shortening equipment lifespan and increasing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. For example, larger drill cuttings in high-speed flowing drilling fluid act like abrasives, constantly eroding the pump body and drill bit surface, leading to premature damage. Therefore, it is essential to separate solid particles from the drilling fluid in a timely manner.

[0003] Comparing with Chinese Patent No. CN221933182U, a drilling fluid solid-liquid separation device is disclosed, including a base. A separation box is snapped into the inner wall of the base. Through the arrangement of a fixing frame, a connecting frame, a filter screen, and a handle, in use, the fixing frame has slots on both sides with the same length as the connecting frame. The connecting frame has a filter screen inside, which can filter the separated drilling fluid and effectively filter out the fine solids that are not separated. When too much solids accumulate on the filter screen, the handle can be pulled to pull out the connecting frame, clean the solids on the filter screen, and put it back into the fixing frame for reuse. The separated solids are conveyed upward along the inner wall of the separation device and then accumulate to the discharge port. The discharge port is inclined downward. After accumulating to a certain amount, they fall downward. With the cooperation of the separation mechanism, the device can prevent clogging during the filtration of drilling fluid.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patented equipment needs to be stopped and cleaned after a period of operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot be adjusted according to drilling fluid with different viscosities, resulting in poor adaptability. Therefore, a new type of equipment needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

The tank cover device is provided with an adjustment device for adjusting the suction height by raising and lowering it.

[0027] In this embodiment: the box device includes a box body 101, an inlet pipe 102 is provided on one side of the top of the box body 101, the inlet pipe 102 flows tangentially into the box body 101, a waste discharge pipe 105 is provided at the bottom of the box body 101, and a waste discharge valve 106 is installed on the waste discharge pipe 105; a converging cone 103 is provided on the bottom surface of the box body 101, and three supporting legs 104 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the converging cone 103; the drilling fluid flows tangentially into the box body 101 from the inlet pipe 102 to form a vortex, causing the particles in the drilling fluid to flow down the inner wall of the box body 101 to the converging cone 103 under the action of centrifugal force, and finally converge into the waste discharge pipe 105. The waste discharge valve 106 is opened at regular intervals to discharge the drilling fluid particles.

[0028] In this embodiment: the cover device includes a cover plate 201, a limiting sleeve 202 is provided in the middle of the cover plate 201, and a suction assembly is slidably installed in the middle of the limiting sleeve 202; the suction assembly includes a rigid tube 203, a filter head 205 is installed at the bottom end of the rigid tube 203, and a flexible bend 204 is installed at the top end of the rigid tube 203; a sealing gasket 206 is pasted on the bottom surface of the cover plate 201, and the limiting sleeve 202 and the cover plate 201 are riveted together; during installation, the cover plate 201 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 101 with bolts, the sealing gasket 206 ensures the seal between the cover plate 201 and the box body 101, the limiting sleeve 202 in the middle of the cover plate 201 is used to support the vertical movement of the rigid tube 203, and the drilling fluid, under the action of the external suction equipment, is filtered by the filter head 205 and then sucked in from the rigid tube 203 and flows out along the flexible bend 204;

[0029] In this embodiment: the adjustment device includes a vertically mounted fixed frame 301, a drive assembly for providing vertical lifting power is disposed in the middle of the fixed frame 301, a lifting frame 305 is disposed on one side of the drive assembly, and a locking pin 306 is installed on the lifting frame 305; the drive assembly includes a lead screw 302 installed in the middle of the fixed frame 301, a servo motor 303 disposed at the top of the lead screw 302, and a threaded sleeve slider 304 threadedly connected to the middle of the lead screw 302; the lifting frame 305 and the threaded sleeve slider 304 are riveted together. The fixed frame 301 and the box cover plate 201 are bolted together; the rigid tube 203 slides up and down along the lifting frame 305 to adjust the base height of the filter head 205, and the locking nail 306 is tightened to fix it. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the filter head 205, the fixed frame 301 supports the four-way drive screw 302 to rotate, push the screw sleeve slider 304 to drive the lifting frame 305 to move up and down along the fixed frame 301, so that the lifting frame 305 drives the rigid tube 203 to push the filter head 205 up and down to adjust the depth of the drilling fluid.

[0030] Working principle: During installation, the cover plate 201 is first fixed to the bottom of the cylinder 101 with bolts. The sealing gasket 206 ensures the seal between the cover plate 201 and the cylinder 101. Then, supported by the limiting sliding sleeve 202 in the middle of the cover plate 201, the rigid straight pipe 203 is slid up and down along the lifting frame 305 to adjust the base height of the filter head 205, and the locking nail 306 is tightened to fix it. During operation, the drilling fluid flows tangentially into the cylinder 101 from the inlet pipe 102, forming a vortex. This causes the particles in the drilling fluid to flow down the inner wall of the cylinder 101 to the converging cone 1 under the action of centrifugal force. 03. Finally, the fluid flows into the waste discharge pipe 105. The waste discharge valve 106 is opened periodically to discharge the drilling fluid particles. The drilling fluid, under the action of the external suction equipment, is filtered through the filter head 205 and then sucked into the rigid pipe 203 and flows out along the flexible bend pipe 204. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the filter head 205, the fixed frame 301 supports the four-way drive screw 302 to rotate, pushing the screw sleeve slider 304 to drive the lifting frame 305 to move up and down along the fixed frame 301. This causes the lifting frame 305 to drive the rigid pipe 203 to push the filter head 205 up and down, adjusting the depth of the fluid entering the drilling fluid.
