Innovation Solution
A hoisting head system with a stair-shaped hoisting hole and coniform extension spring mechanism that allows for the safe and efficient relocation of petroleum instruments from the ground back into the drill rod, enabling the instrument to be reinstalled without disassembling the drill rods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If the petroleum instrument is replaced or examined by pulling out drill rods, then the instrument can be accessed for repair, but the drilling process must be stopped and labor intensity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The drill rod system is segmented into modular sections with standardized coupling mechanisms. The drill rod is divided into upper and lower segments that can be independently manipulated, allowing the instrument to be accessed without removing entire drill rod assemblies. This segmentation enables selective access to the instrument while maintaining the integrity of the drilling string.
Solution Approach 2:
A specialized coupling device acts as an intermediary mechanism between drill rod segments. This coupling device includes locking components and releasing mechanisms that allow the upper and lower drill rod segments to be temporarily disconnected, providing access to the instrument, and then reconnected to restore drilling capability. The intermediary device facilitates instrument repair while minimizing disruption to the overall drilling operation.
2Ease of repair
If drill rods are pulled out to replace the instrument, then the instrument can be replaced, but time loss and economic cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling devices between drill rod segments are pre-configured with quick-release mechanisms and alignment features. Before instrument replacement is needed, the drill rod segments are prepared with accessible coupling points and the necessary tools are positioned. This preliminary preparation allows the coupling devices to be rapidly disconnected and reconnected, minimizing the time the drilling operation is stopped for instrument replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling device incorporates self-aligning features and automatic locking mechanisms that reduce the manual effort and time required for disassembly and reassembly. The design allows operators to quickly release and reconnect drill rod segments without complex procedures, enabling rapid instrument replacement while maintaining drilling productivity.
3Ease of repair
If manual disassembly of drill rods is performed, then the instrument can be accessed, but labor intensity and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
A specialized coupling device serves as an intermediary mechanism that simplifies the disassembly and reassembly process. This device includes standardized interfaces, alignment guides, and mechanical locking components that automatically engage when drill rod segments are brought together. The coupling device eliminates the need for complex manual disassembly procedures, reducing operational complexity while providing easy access to the instrument for repair or replacement.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution reduces labor intensity and costs by allowing the petroleum instrument to be reinstalled without stopping the drilling process, minimizing economic losses and improving efficiency by salvaging only the instrument rather than the entire drill rod.
Implementation Method 1
when the hoisting head is made in a falling state under the action of gravity, the coniform extension spring is in a compression state, and the coniform extension spring is driven to move to a part adjacent to the clamping piece by compression
Implementation Method 2
a coniform extension spring, which is sleeved on the insertion rod and the connecting rod... when the coniform extension spring is in a compression state, two clamping pieces will be driven in a retraction state
