Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drilling rig device training according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the drill string and drilling tool (drill bit and catch tool, milling head, etc.), but also drill rods or so-called heavy weights - if available in individual cases - can be installed or removed much faster than in known facilities.
  • a check and replacement of a drilling tool can thus be carried out in a relatively short time, so that the drilling rig is ready for use again after a short time interval for the drilling work to be carried out.
  • the costly downtimes of the drilling rig can thus be reduced by a substantial amount.
  • the finger platform and storage trolley When transporting the drill string trains, the finger platform and storage trolley are brought into the respective loading or unloading position, in which the boom robot continuously rotates the by means of a pivoting movement and extension of the gripper arms. Place drill string cables in the rows of fingers on the finger platform or in the corresponding areas of the storage trolley or out of them can see. Time-consuming transport routes from the borehole to the side end areas of the work deck are completely eliminated with the derrick. After filling or emptying a row of fingers in the course of the transport movement of the linkage robot or its gripping arms, the finger platform and the storage trolley can be moved into the next pick-up or removal position in a structurally and control-technically simple manner. The travel path to be covered is limited to the dimension corresponding to the finger division of the finger platform.
  • the step-by-step positioning of the finger platform and storage trolley can be carried out using conventional drive and control elements.
  • the storage trolley and finger stage preferably have an electric motor drive with a control system which, after manual activation of a trigger, for example, automatically controls the corresponding next position.
  • the drive for positioning the finger platform and storage trolley can interact with stops or the like.
  • the finger platform and storage trolley are expediently guided in a structurally simple manner in running tracks fixed on the work deck or on the drilling rig supports. By eliminating the movement of the boom robot, the boom trains are transported free of vibrations and thus without impairing the rig stability.
  • the derrick generally designated 1 in the drawing with derrick supports 2 and a work deck 3, on which, as shown in FIG. 2, a lifting mechanism 4 and a crane operator control station 5 are mounted, is provided with a pulley 7, which is vertically movably guided on rails 6, with a pull hook . 8 and an elevator 9 provided.
  • the elevator 9 engages around the upper end connection 13 of a drill string pull 11, so that the drill string 10 is pulled out by the corresponding upward stroke movement of the block and tackle 9 so that the lower end connection 13 of the drill string pull 11 to be turned off located above the work deck 3.
  • two storage trolleys 15, each movable in the direction of the arrows 14 shown in FIG. 1, are supported in opposite tower side areas.
  • rails 16 are fastened to the drilling rig supports 2 at a distance corresponding approximately to the length of the drill pipe trains 11 to be switched off, on which two finger platforms 17 arranged one behind the other are likewise guided in the direction of the arrows 18 (FIG. 1).
  • a storage trolley 15 is assigned to the finger platforms 17.
  • the respective finger platforms 17 are to be moved synchronously with their assigned storage trolleys relative to the linkage robot (pipehandler) 19 fixedly mounted on the work deck 3.
  • the pipehandler 19 has a tower structure 21 which can be pivoted about a vertical axis 20 (FIG. 2) and comprises extendable and retractable gripping arms 22 for gripping the setbacks to be transported or placed on the set-up surface (setbacks) 15 and into the rows 23 of fingers with the fingers 24 provided finger train 17 to be inserted rod trains 11.
  • the drill string 10 is pulled out of the borehole so far that the lower end connection 13 of the rod train to be turned off is above the work deck 3 and the upper end connection 13 of the rod train 11 is above the finger platform 17, the drill string 10 is first intercepted by wedges.
  • the unscrewed rod train is held by the pipehandler 19, which lifts it off the drill string 10 and pivots it by 90 ° about its pivot axis 20 (arrows 26 and 27 in FIG.
  • the respective finger platform 17 and the associated storage trolley 15 are moved by one of the finger pitches of the finger platform 17 corresponding degree synchronous (F ig. 2) in the direction of the mounted on the working deck 3 working structures 4 and 5, and moved in the opposite direction.
  • the electromotive drives 29 and 43 of storage trolley 15 and finger platform 17 have control elements (not shown in more detail) which, after actuation of a clock trigger, automatically bring the finger platform 17 and storage trolley 15 into the next pick-up position corresponding to the finger division.
  • the storage trolley 15 is expediently to be moved in its upright out-of-service position, so that after being transferred to its upright out-of-service position it is to be brought into a work deck area in which it does not have free access to the drill chute 34 disabled (reference numeral 35 in Fig. 2).
  • To move the upright storage trolley 15 3 rails or other suitable transport guide body are embedded in the work deck. Removing the storage trolley 15 is also by means of roller pallets or with Possible with the help of a crane.
  • the work deck superstructures 4 and 5 can also be fixed on the work deck 3 to form a receiving space (not shown) for one or more storage trolleys, so that a storage trolley 5 after unloading the drill string cables 11 drawer-like under the elevator 4 or the crane operator control station 5 is to be pushed.
  • the drilling rig device according to the invention also creates the possibility of leaving empty storage trolleys which are not required, thereby enlarging the working area, in their inoperative position.
  • a section of the work deck 3 is shown in cross-section with storage trolleys 15 movably guided thereon, the illustration of the linkage robot 19 being omitted for the sake of clarity.
  • the vertical pivot axis 20 of the drill robot 19 is shown, which is positioned directly adjacent to the borehole 12 or the turntable 25.
  • the substructure supports 35 of the work deck 3 are correspondingly strongly dimensioned in the storage area of the rod trains 11 or the setback packages facing away from the work deck superstructures 4 and 5.
  • the substructure 35 and the turntable 25 are supported on double-T supports 36.
  • the Abstellwagen 15 are provided on their top with rod holders 45 and on its underside with conventional roller packages 37 g deckausEnglishun in working en 38 arranged rails are performed 39 (Fig. 4).
  • racks 40 are provided on the top of both running rails, which work together to drive the parking trolleys 15 with drive pinions 42 driven by an electric drive 29 via a gear 41.
  • racks 40 are provided on the top of both running rails, which work together to drive the parking trolleys 15 with drive pinions 42 driven by an electric drive 29 via a gear 41.
  • By the respective sides of a an.beiden bstell- A carriage 15 provided for the drive pinion 42 is a tilting of the carriage 15
  • the electric motor 29 and the gear 41 are provided in the illustrated exemplary embodiment below the storage surface: of the storage trolley 15.
  • the drives can also be provided on the work deck and the toothed racks 40 are located beneath the storage surfaces of the storage trolleys 15 and are protected against contamination.
  • the electric motor drives 29 each have a power supply line with detachable plugs which are withdrawn to remove unloaded storage trolleys 15.
  • FIG. 7 shows the finger platforms 17 provided on opposite side regions of the drilling tower 1.
  • the two finger platforms 17 on the left in the drawing are shown in a working position in which the last row of fingers 23 is loaded with drill string trains 11 when the drill string 10 is dismantled.
  • the two finger platforms 17 and storage trolley 15 have already moved into their rear end position in the reinforced working deck area.
  • the finger platforms 17 shown on the right in FIG. 7 are shown in a working position in which the last drill string trains 11 of the row of fingers 23 are removed when a drill string 10 is installed and the finger platforms 17 are thus unloaded.
  • Each F ingerbühne 17 is equipped with a drive 43 and a gear 44 and driven in a manner analogous to the storage car 15 via drive pinions and racks, not shown.
  • the drives 43 and 29 are coupled in terms of control technology.
