Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for transferring pipe between a pipe rack and a pipe handling apparatus.
  • Cranes have also been used to lift the pipe. Hydraulic driven chains have been successfully used too. Pipe transferred by these methods can be dropped on personnel or equipment below causing severe injury and damage inasmuch as they can weigh thousands of pounds. Often the pipe must be lifted to heights of forty feet or more. These dangers are more intense when the apparatus and rig are positioned offshore and subjected to wave, tidal and wind forces.
  • This apparatus comprises :
  • the tube are moved from the magazine or rack, by means of bars, along an inclined plane as for as the trough which is designed to transport them to the platform.
  • the apparatus comprises :
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved tubular handling apparatus which can be used effectively and safely under varying weather conditions on offshore units with tubulars of various diameters and lengths.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a tubular handling apparatus that has an automatic pipe feeder to attain a pipe transferring cycle time shorter than that of the drilling crew.
  • a further object is to provide an improved pipe handling apparatus that can be easily moved to different locations on a drilling rig.
  • a still further object is to provide a pipe handling apparatus that can transfer pipe from racks on one side of the apparatus to the other side without necessitating the use of additional equipment, e.g. a crane.
  • Another object is to provide an apparatus that can handle pipe without damaging the pin ends thereof and that does not require that protective caps remain or be placed on the pipe ends.
  • the pipe handling apparatus 21 for raising pipe P such as casing, drill pipe, collars, or tubing up to a derrick floor 25 of a drilling rig (not shown) and for removing the pipe P from the derrick floor 25.

  • a hydraulic system is employed for moving the ends 61B and 63B of arms 61 and 63 together to upward or downward positions or to any level in between.
  • the hydraulic system comprises a pair of cylinders 71 and 73 having their ends pivotally coupled to the frame 29 at 75 and 77.
  • the pistons 81 and 83 of the cylinders 71 and 73 are pivotally coupled to arms 61 and 63.
  • the pistons 81 and 83 are shown pivotally coupled at 85 and 87 to ears 89 and 91 which are connected to arms 61 and 63 respectively.
  • the hydraulic system for operating the cylinders 71 and 73 comprises an oil reservoir 93, a pump 95, a four-way directional control valve 97 and appropriate flow lines.
  • a stacking and unstacking trough 101 for carrying pipe between the rack 21 and the pipe handling apparatus 21.
  • the trough 101 can be pivoted laterally in either direction to allow pipe to be loaded onto and from the trough 101.
  • Tilting mechanisms 103 and 105 are provided at each end of the trough 101.
  • the ends 61B and 63B of arms 61 and 63 have lugs 107 and 108 secured thereto respectively and which extend laterally outward.
  • the lugs 107 and 108 are rotatably coupled to tilting mechanisms 103 and 105 respectively allowing the arms 61 and 63 to move up or down together carrying the length of the trough 101 in a horizontal position.
  • tilting mechanisms 103 and l05 is the same.
  • Tilting mechanism 103 will be described in detail.
  • the lug 107 is rotatably located in an aperture l09 formed through a bearing member 111.
  • Member 111 is rotatably mounted on an upper shaft l13 which is supported by two mounts 115 and 117 fixedly secured to the trough 101.
  • the shaft 113 freely extends trough apertures 115A and 117A formed through mounts 115 and 117 and through aperture 111A formed through member 111 whereby the mounts 115 and 117 can rotate about the shaft 113 and the shaft 113 can rotate relative to member 111.
  • a rotary actuator 121 is fixedly secured to the trough 191 by way of a plate 123 which is secured to the actuator 121 and to the trough 101.
  • the actuator 121 has a lower shaft 125 which can be rotated in opposite directions.
  • the lower shaft 125 is fixedly secured to a linkage 127 which is coupled to the shaft 113.
  • the linkage 127 has an aperture 127A which freely receives the shaft 113 whereby the linkage can rotate about the shaft 113.
  • the linkage 127 When the actuator 121 rotates its shaft 125 in one direction, the linkage 127 is rotated causing the linkage to turn about the shaft 113 and hence tilt the actuator 121 and the trough 101.
  • the trough 101 is shown in dottedlines tilted laterally in opposite directions. In Figure 3, the actuator 121 is not shown tilting with the trough for purposes of clarity.
  • the rotary actuator 12 is a commercially available actuator hydraulically actuated. Referring to Figure 6, it comprises a cylinder 129 having two pistons 131 and 133, with a rack 135 connected between the pistons. The rack 133 engages a pinion 139. The shaft 125 is an extension of the pinion 139. When pressure is imposed on one side of the cylinder 129 it drives the piston and the rack in one direction to rotate the pinion 139 and hence the shaft 125. On the opposite side of the cylinder the pressure is released.
  • member 140 is the cylinder for the rotary actuator 141 for the tilting mechanism 105. Actuator 141 is the same as actuator 121.
  • the cylinder 140 has two pistons 142 and 143 and a rack 145 connected between the pistons for rotating a pinion 146 from which extends a shaft similar to shaft 107.
  • Both actuators of mechanisms 103 and 105 are operated simultaneously by hydraulic fluid from reservoir 93 and pump 95 for driving their shafts in the same direction for tilting the trough 101.
  • Four way valve 143 is employed for controlling the direction in which the two actuators 121 and 141 rotate their shafts and hence the direction in which the trough 121 is tilted.
  • the arms 61 and 63 and trough 101 operate in the following manner to transfer pipe between the rack 27 and the pipe handling apparatus 21. Assume that pipe is to be transferred from apparatus 21 upward to the rack 27.
  • the arms 61 and 63 will be located such that the trough 101 will be just below the catwalk 69 in a non-tilted position whereby the V of the trough 101 will be straight up. In this position, the upper edge of the trough 101 is located close to the catwalk 69 with very little space between the trough edge and the catwalk 69 such that pipe rolling outward on the catwalk 69 will roll into the trough 101.
  • the intermediate position 39A of the floor 39 of the trough 31 is tilted laterally to dump a length of pipe onto the catwalk 69.
  • the pipe will roll into the trough 101.
  • the arms 61 and 63 then are raised simultaneously to raise the trough 1 01 with the trough held in a non-tilted position.
  • As the trough is raised, its length will be held horizontal.
  • the trough thus will cradle and carry the pipe upward with no longitudinal movement of the pipe in the trough 1 0 1.
  • the pipe cannot roll off of the trough, nor can it slide off of the trough longitudinally.
  • the arms 61 and 63 and trough 101 operate in the following manner. Assume that pipe is to be transferred from an upper row of pipe on the rack 27 to the pipe handling apparatus 21. The arms 61 and 63 will be located such that the trough 101 will be just below the top row of the pipe on the rack 27 with the trough 101 in a non-tilted position whereby the V of the trough 101 will be straight up. A length of pipe will be pushed into the trough 101. The arms 61 and 63 will then be lowered simultaneously with the trough 101 carrying the length of pipe downward in a horizontal position.
  • a pair of arms 61 and 63 and a laterally tiltable trough 101 as described above will be located on both sides of the apparatus 21 for transferring pipe between either rack 27 and the apparatus 21.
  • slidable apron 151 removably attachable to the pipe moving device 49 of the pipe handling apparatus 21 for carrying pipe from the derrick floor 25 down the troughs 33 and 31 when there is little or no height differential between the derrick floor 25 and the frame 29 of the pipe handling apparatus 21.
  • the apron 151 comprises a V-shaped member slidable on the floor 39 of the trough 31.
  • An aperture 153 is formed close to the rear end 151A of the apron 151 into which is fitted a triangular shaped securing member 155 which projects upward from a forward extension of the neck 56 of member 49.
  • the aperture 153 does not extend all of the way to the rear end 151A of the apron 151 but is spaced therefrom a short distance.
  • the member 153 slants downward toward its forward end whereby the member 155 may be inserted into the aperture 153 by moving the member 49 forward while the apron 151 will ride upward on the member 155 as it moves forward until it reaches full length of the aperture 153 at which time the apron will drop down the the member 155 located in the aperture 153.
  • the member 49 When the member 49 is moved forward by the chain, its front end 49A will engage the rear end 151A of the apron and push the apron 151 forward along the trough 31. For drawing pipe from the derrick floor, the apron 151 will be pushed onto the fixed trough 33. A length of pipe will be loaded onto the apron 151 and the member 49 will be moved backward by the chain 51 pulling the apron 151 and hence the pipe backward whereby the pipe may be loaded onto the rack 27. When the member 49 moves backward the rear end 155A of the member 155 engages the rear end 153B of the aperture 153, pulling the apron 151 backward.
  • the intermediate or dump portion 39A of the floor 39 of the trough 31 has two elongated apron holding strips 161 and 163 formed along its top outer-edges.
  • the outer edges 151B and 151C of the apron slide under the strips 161 and 163 whereby the apron is held to the intermediate or dump portion 39A.
  • the apron 151 also will be tilted laterally allowing the pipe to be dumped onto the catwalk 69 for loading onto a rack 27 next to the apparatus 21.
  • member 49 will not be located above the dump portion 39A.
  • the apron 151 is tilted laterally by the dump portion 39A, its aperture 153 is moved above the member 155.
  • the aperture 153 will fit around the member 155 whereby the movable member 49 may push the apron along the trough 31 to the fixed trough 33.
  • the apron 151 is used primarily for drawing pipe from the derrick floor for loading on the rack, it is to be understood that it would be used for moving pipe from the rack 27 to the derrick floor.
  • the apron 151 also has advantages in that it protects the main troughs 31 and 33 from wear. A teflon like coating may be applied to the underside of the apron 151 to minimize friction.
  • the apron 151 may be removed as well as the securing member 155.
  • Member 155 may be removably secured to the forward extension of the neck 56 of member 49 by bolts.
  • the apron 151 may have a thin neck extending down from its bottom with an enlarged lug attached to the thin neck. The thin neck will extend trough the slot 53 with the enlarged lug located below the floor 39. This arrangement allows the apron 151 to slide on the floor 39 yet holds the apron 151 to the dump portion when it is tilted for dumping purposes.
  • the apron 151 may be coupled to the member 49 by securing member 155 to the forward extension of the neck 56 of member 49 through the aperture 153 of the apron 151 when the aperture 153 of the apron 151 is over the forward extension of the neck.
  • the apron 151 may be removed by removing member 155 and by sliding the apron forward when the trough 31 is at a slightly inclined position to remove the lower thin neck of the apron from the slot 53 at the forward end of the trough 31.
  • the apron 151 will be longer than the length of pipe it will carry.
