Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling technology, specifically to a modular and convenient connection structure for drilling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Drilling equipment refers to the mechanical devices and equipment used in drilling operations, mainly consisting of drilling rigs, mud pumps, mud purification equipment, mud mixers, and drilling towers. Traditional drilling rigs often adopt an integral or semi-integral structure, resulting in large weight and bulky size, necessitating the use of heavy vehicles or specialized platforms for transportation. The assembly and connection of offshore drilling platforms, in particular, presents significant construction challenges due to their location on the water surface.

[0003] Currently, underwater drilling connections mainly rely on buoyancy platforms, often assembled using foam and oil drums. These materials are bulky, leading to labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient processes during transport, assembly, and dismantling. Furthermore, the relatively low buoyancy provided by foam and oil drums is unfavorable for heavy drilling rig operations on water, resulting in poor safety. In addition, foam and oil drums are currently often connected using steel pipes as splicing components, resulting in low standardization, low work efficiency, poor platform integrity, and compromised safety.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] This embodiment provides a modular and convenient connection structure for drilling equipment, including multiple support units, such as... Figure 1 As shown, multiple support units are distributed in a matrix structure to form a support platform for the drilling equipment. It also includes ropes 8, which are used to connect the multiple support units.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, notches are provided on all four sides of the supporting steel plate 1. A portal-shaped connecting rod 13 is provided on the longitudinal side wall inside the notch. A buckle is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting rod 13. A guide ring 12 for the rope 8 to pass through is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the buckle.

[0029] For ease of connection, the buckle is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting rod 13. The buckle can slide laterally along the outer wall of the connecting rod 13 to adjust the position of the guide ring 12. This is to ensure that the two guide rings 12 are staggered and coaxially distributed, facilitating the passage of the rope 8.

[0030] The guide rings 12 of two adjacent supporting steel plates 1 are staggered; when multiple supporting steel plates 1 are assembled together, the rope 8 passes through multiple guide rings 12 in an S-shaped structure and is tensioned and tied together. That is, the rope 8 is arranged as follows... Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, first fix one end of rope 8 on one side of the support unit, then pass it sequentially through the guide rings 12 of the adjacent support units to form an S-shaped insertion path. Finally, tension the other end of rope 8 and tie it to the other side of the support unit to complete the platform connection.

[0031] The S-shaped, interlaced rope connection method (8 ropes) ensures that each support unit is subjected to tension in multiple directions, enhancing the platform's resistance to wind and waves. Furthermore, the 8-rope connection method is simple and easy to implement, requiring no specialized tools, thus reducing construction difficulty and costs. The 8-rope connection forms a unified structure, offering a higher degree of standardization and significantly improved assembly efficiency compared to traditional steel pipe-jointed foam or oil drum platforms. Additionally, the 8-rope connection method is flexible, allowing the platform size to be adjusted according to the actual construction area requirements.

[0032] The support unit includes a supporting steel plate 1 and hollow pontoons 2 fixed to the bottom wall of the supporting steel plate 1. Multiple hollow pontoons 2 have storage chambers for filling with aqueous solution to provide counterweight for the support unit. The supporting steel plate 1 has sinking-type through holes penetrating its upper and lower side walls. The upper opening of the hollow pontoons 2 communicates with the lower opening of the sinking-type through holes, and a sealing cap 11 is threadedly connected to the upper opening of the sinking-type through holes. The support unit is placed on the water surface in a predetermined arrangement. The sealing cap 11 is opened, and aqueous solution is poured into the hollow pontoons 2 through the sinking-type through holes. The amount of aqueous solution in the hollow pontoons 2 is adjusted to suspend them on the water surface. Then, the sealing cap 11 is screwed on, thereby raising the support platform away from the water surface.

[0033] Compared to traditional foam and oil drum buoys, the hollow pontoon 2 achieves counterweight by filling with aqueous solution, allowing for adjustment of buoyancy to meet the load-bearing requirements of drilling equipment of varying weights. Simultaneously, the combined design of the supporting steel plate 1 and the hollow pontoon 2 provides a larger support area, enhancing platform stability.

[0034] This embodiment also includes an external floating component, such as... Figure 1As shown, the external floating component includes four connecting steel plates 4. The ends of the connecting steel plates 4 are bent into an L-shape, and the four connecting steel plates 4 form a rectangular structure, enclosing an outer reinforcing frame around the support platform. This outer reinforcing frame design enhances the overall rigidity and impact resistance of the platform. Compared to traditional frameless foam or oil drum platforms, the outer reinforcing frame effectively prevents the platform from collapsing under the influence of wind and waves, improving construction safety.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the ends of two adjacent connecting steel plates 4 are staggered and parallel. The opposite sidewalls of the ends of the two staggered and parallel connecting steel plates 4 are provided with toothed blocks. A hollow guide frame 3 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the ends of the two adjacent connecting steel plates 4. A transmission column 32 located between the ends of the two connecting steel plates 4 is rotatably arranged between the upper and lower sidewalls of the hollow guide frame 3. The outer wall of the transmission column 32 is provided with a toothed groove that meshes with the toothed block. The ends of the two adjacent connecting steel plates 4 can be synchronously pulled out by the meshing of the toothed block and the toothed groove, thereby adjusting the wrapping area of ​​the outer reinforcing frame according to the area of ​​the support platform.

[0036] Subsequently, a hexagonal insertion hole is provided on the upper end face of the hollow guide frame 3, and a hexagonal slot is provided on the upper end face of the transmission column 32. A hexagonal insert 31 is inserted into the hexagonal insertion hole, and the bottom end of the hexagonal insert 31 is inserted into the hexagonal slot. Connecting pieces are vertically provided on the two opposite side walls of the upper end face of the hollow guide frame 3, and a fastening bolt 33 is threaded between the two connecting pieces. A through hole is provided on the upper end of the hexagonal insert 31 for the fastening bolt 33 to slide through. Figure 3 As shown, inserting the bottom end of the hexagonal insert 31 into the hexagonal slot restricts the free rotation of the transmission column 32, ensuring the stability of the connection between the hollow guide frame 3 and the connecting steel plate 4. This fixing method effectively prevents the outer reinforcing frame from loosening under the action of wind and waves, improving the safety of the platform.

[0037] Moreover, such as Figure 4 As shown, a support column 5 is vertically fixed to the bottom wall of the hollow guide frame 3. A hollow floating vessel 6 is connected to the bottom end of the support column 5, and an injection port 7 is connected to the upper end of the floating vessel 6. The injection port 7 is threadedly connected to a cap. The floating vessel 6 is designed to provide additional buoyancy to the outer reinforcing frame, enhancing the overall buoyancy of the platform. Simultaneously, the injection port on the floating vessel 6 can be used to inject aqueous solution to adjust the buoyancy, adapting to different construction needs.

[0038] Rope buckles 61 are attached to the side of the bottom wall of the floating hull 6. The rope buckles 61 are designed to be used to connect anchor chains or other fixing devices, further enhancing the stability of the platform.

[0039] This structure adopts a modular design, allowing for independent transport and assembly of support units and external floating components. Compared to traditional integral or semi-integral drilling rigs, it offers greater ease of transportation and reduces labor intensity. Furthermore, buoyancy can be adjusted by filling the hollow pontoons 2 and floating vessels 6 with aqueous solution, adapting to drilling equipment of varying weights and construction needs, providing more ample buoyancy and enhancing safety.

[0040] 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.
