Definitions
- This invention relates to a screen for apparatus for filtering cuttings from drilling fluid .
- Vibratory screening apparatus or shale shakers , are known in the art of filtering cuttings from drilling fluid .
- a screen for use in apparatus for screening cuttings from drilling fluid comprising a filter means, a support for the filter means and means for tensioning the filter means.
- One advantage of the invention is to provide a system to attach a filtering screen to a screen-carrying cradle and to tension the filtering screen onto the screen carrying cradle.
- the cradle with the filtering screen attached and tensioned can then be inserted into a vibratory shaker.
- the tensioning means is preferably adjustable in situ so that the tension on the screen can be adjusted after the screen has been assembled.
- the filter means and the support are preferably attachable to a separate supporting cradle and the tensioning means is optionally disposed on the cradle, and is preferably integral therewith.
- the tensioning means can comprise rams which are operable to force apart two opposing parts of the cradle.
- the rams can be operated by hand, or by hydraulic or pneumatic forces common in the art .
- the rams are actuated by hand, and comprise bolt stems upon which are located nuts which can be driven along the stems against an opposing portion of the cradle.
- two or more meshes are provided on the screen, and in one embodiment of the invention only one of the meshes is tensioned, and the other mesh is not subjected to substantial tension.
- the upper mesh is preferably tensioned.
- the meshes are preferably encapsulated into a plastic coating on the screen.
- the support for the screen may be in the form of a grid with cross and transverse members with square apertures of alternatively can have other shapes of apertures such as triangles etc.
- the screen is preferably capable of being disposed in vibratory screening apparatus.
- the invention provides a system where the filtering screen and carrying cradle are two separate components, and a system where a filtering screen is loaded onto a carrying cradle and tensioned prior to inserting into the vibratory shaker basket.
- Fig 1 is a perspective exploded view of a screen according to one embodiment of the invention
- Fig 2 is an end exploded view of the components of the screen
- Fig 3 is a side view of the assembled screen
- Fig 4 is a perspective view of a cradle used with one embodiment of the invention
- Fig 5 is an end sectional view of the screen and assembled cradle shown in the previous figures.
- a screen of the invention comprises a frame 1 of sheet steel which is punched or cut so as to provide a grid of apertures. This sheet is then coated with a plastics material, eg the sheet can be immersed in a liquid plastics material, which can be allowed to dry to a solid film covering the frame 1, or a sheet of plastics material can simply be overlaid on the frame 1.
- a panel of coarse support mesh 2 is then placed on top of the frame 1.
- a panel of fine filtering mesh 3 is then placed on top of the coarse mesh 2, and this mesh 3 is optionally tensioned longitudinally on the frame 1 at this point. Pressure and temperature are then applied via a heated platen to the top surface of the filtering mesh 3.
- a pair of hook strips 4 are then attached to the sides of the screen panel by spot welding to the steel frame 1.
- the frame 1 carrying the meshes 2, 3 and the hook strips 4 is then attached to a cradle 5.
- One embodiment of the cradle 5 has a flat surface with supporting slats 5s to support the mesh and is divided into two portions 5a and 5b.
- the slats 5s of the portion 5a are bounded by a frame 5f, which has apertures to receive posts 15 located on a second portion 5b of the cradle 5, so that the posts 15 are slidable in the apertures, and the two portions can move relative to one another, and parallel to the posts.
- the screen is located on the cradle 5 by means of blades 10 on each side of the cradle 5 which engage the hook strips 4 of the screen.
- the cradle 5 has means of tensioning the screen after the screen has been loaded onto the cradle 5. An example of this is shown in Fig. 4.
- the screen is supported by the slats 5s of the cradle.
- Tension to the screen is then applied by moving the telescopic part of the cradle outwards from the cradle 5. This movement may be achieved by a screw jack system as shown in Fig. 4 or by any other means such as hydraulics or pneumatics.
- the tensioning means employs 3 bolts 12 located on the first portion 5a of the cradle 5 between the first 5a and second portions 5b of the cradle 5. Nuts (not shown) can be driven along the bolts to space the two portions 5a, b from one another, sliding the posts 15 of the second portion in the apertures, and thereby tensioning the screen.
- the nuts can be tensioned by conventional spanners etc or by rods which can be located in apertures (not shown) in the flats of the nuts in order to rotate the nuts on the bolt stems 12.
- a further embodiment of the cradle has an arched configuration whereby the centre of the cradle is around 5-8mm above each of the ends. This configuration forces the screen to adopt the same arched configuration when tension is applied to it by the expansion of the cradle.
- a further embodiment of the cradle replaces the bolt stems 12 and nuts of the tensioning system shown in fig 4 with a modified design which uses a cam to push over centre an elbow of a locking arm disposed between the first and second portions a,b of the cradle, so that the arm is moved by the cam to an extended position at which the portions a,b are further apart and the screen is tensioned.
- FIG. 6 and 7 A further embodiment of the cradle is shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
- the first portion 5a and the second portion 5b of the cradle each have a cam collar 6a, b welded to the stems 12 A Collars 6a, b are of opposite hands.
- the first and second portions 5 'a, 5'b of the cradles are assembled with a tension pin carrier 7 located between the cam collars 6a, b.
- the tension pin carrier 7 is fitted with a tensioning pin 8 at each end.
- the tensioning pins 8 abut the cam surfaces on respective cam collars.
- the hexagonal profile of the tension pin carrier 7 enables it to be rotated by a spanner.
- Fig. 6 shows the mechanism in the screen loading position.
- the tensioning pin carrier 7 is rotated by means of a spanner through 180 degrees.
- the pin 8 travels along the cam surfaces pushing the cam collars (and therefore the cradle portions 5 'a, 5'b) in opposite directions thereby applying tension to the screen.
- the tensioning pins are in an over- centre cam position 9 (Fig. 7) to ensure that the cam system cannot lose tension due to vibration.
- the cam collars 6a, b and the tensioning pins 8 are hardened to minimise wear.
- Each cradle is fitted with three of these screen tensioning cam mechanisms.
