Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cleaning and lubricating device for threads, especially for cleaning a threaded por- tion of tap and socket ends on drill pipes and casings, and wherein water or other cleaning liquid can be used as cleaning agent, and wherein thread fat is used as lubricating agent .
- Norwegian patent specification No. 179,920 shows a device having driven rotary nozzles.
- the rotative property, the mounting and support as well as the need for motive force of these known nozzles complicate this known device and make it more expensive.
- This device is exclusively built up for the purpose of applying thread fat .
- U.S. patent specification No. 5,653,819 deals with a device for cleaning threads of drill pipes.
- the device comprises circumferentially distributed nozzles spraying fluids toward the threads.
- a plurality of nozzles are used, placed along an annular path, and this annular row of nozzles is capable of cleaning both external threads (on the tap end) and internal threads (within the socket end) .
- the total spraying capacity of the nozzles is relatively difficult to change and adjust.
- This patent specification is exclusively occupied with cleaning of threads, and the known device is not adapted for the application of thread fat.
- the nozzle apertures should point radially inwardly and, for a corresponding treatment of internal threads within a socket end, the nozzle apertures should point radially outwardly.
- the cleaning and lubricating device in accordance with the invention is a constructively and functionally sim- pier accessory, facilitating and simplifying the individual working operations as well as securing that they become carried out with optimum efficiency, simultaneously as favourable conditions have been offered in order to exclude stoppage during use .
- the cleaning and lubricating device has two, preferably parallel, annular, preferably circu- lar nozzle apertures .
- the cleaning or lubrication, respectively, of the threads takes place in that a relative, rectilinear, centrally controlled displacement movement is established between the device's nozzle head with the two annular nozzle apertures and the threaded drill pipe end portion to be cleaned and lubricated, in the course of which the apertures of the nozzle head effects an optimum unitary treatment, 360° in the cir- cumferential direction, first with the nozzle aperture for the cleaning agent under high pressure in an open condition, while the other nozzle aperture is closed and, thereupon, with the nozzle aperture for the thread fat under pressure in an open condition, while the water-spraying nozzle aperture is closed.
- the two thread treating operations, cleaning and application of fat are carried out by means of one and the same, simple tool or accessory, immediately following each other; this being advantageous because the thread fat, thus, is applied on recently cleaned threads.
- the device of the invention exhibits simple adjusting possibilities in order to adjust the degree of feeding out of the cleaning liquid or of the thread fat, respectively.
- the threads on the pipe ends are cleaned and lubricated before the pipe is run down into the bore hole, i.e. that extra time lapse when drill pipes are to be run down into the bore hole. Additionally, this cleaning and lubricating work often is carried out by means of high pressure washing apparatus, whereupon thread fat is applied manually.
- thread fat is applied manually.
- the drill pipes are ready to be treated upon leaving the bore hole and to be displaced by means of a pipe handling apparatus. Then, time is available to position the drill pipe with respect to the device of the invention, cleaning the threads thereof and lubricating them with thread fat, before the pipe handling apparatus displaces the pipe further to said finger board.
- this cleaning and lubricating operation carried out by the present device does not delay the sequence pulling the drill string out from the bore hole.
- Figure 1 is an axial section through a nozzle head of the invention, equipped with supply and discharge device for two fluids, cleaning liquid and thread fat, and where both discharge openings are closed;
- Figure 2 is an axial section corresponding to figure 1, wherein one annular, radially inwardly directed discharge opening is open, while the other discharge opening which is identical in shape, design and orientation, is closed;
- Figure 3 shows the nozzle head in perspective view, disposed on a vertical support column and connected with supply hoses for fluid, and wherein an externally threaded pipe tap end is inserted into a circumferential ring formed by the main body of the nozzle head;
- Figure 4 shows the nozzle head, etc., in figure 3 in perspective as seen from the opposite side; two further pipes having externally threaded tap ends are awaiting treatment of their threads ;
- Figure 5 shows in side elevational view/vertical section a nozzle head in accordance with the invention in connection with a centring means adapted to centre a pipe tap end having external threads in relation to the annular nozzle body, and wherein an upwardly conically tapering centring head is sup- ported by the upper end of a telescopic pipe device;
- Figure 6 shows the conical centring head in centring engagement in the bore of the pipe tap end
- Figure 7 shows a further telescopic pipe carrying the nozzle head and an upwardly open housing surrounding the latter, in a continued condition, the nozzle being placed concentrically around the suspended, externally threaded pipe tap end;
- Figure 8 shows a nozzle head wherein fluid discharge openings are directed radially outwardly, for washing and, thereupon, lubrication of internal threads in an upwardly directed pipe socket end;
- Figures 9 - 12 show perspective views of a pipe handle apparatus to be used in the thread cleaning and lubrication, and illustrate four operational steps following one after the other, wherein
- Figure 9 shows the pipe handling apparatus immediately after it has caught a pipe section screwed loose from a pipe string, the pipe section being ready to be swung around the vertical axis of the handling apparatus;
- Figure 10 shows said pipe section swung into position and lowered down within a cleaning and lubrication device for the tap end of the pipe section, a corresponding device for cleaning and lubricating the socket end of the pipe section being situated coaxially with the first-mentioned, underlying device, placed at the top of the pipe handling apparatus at a vertical distance from the underlying device which insignifi- cantly exceeds the length of the pipe section;
- Figure 11 shows the pipe section raised with its upper socket end in cleaning/lubricating engagement with the upper device
- Figure 12 shows a situation where the pipe section's end cou- pling threads are cleaned and lubricated, and where the pipe handling apparatus is swung into position away from the devices uppermost and lowermost, in order to suspend the pipe section in a finger board, from which two pipe sections already have been suspended, and which only has been shown in perspective partial view.
- figures 1 and 2 which, in an axial section, show how a cleaning and lubricating device has been built up constructively according to the invention.
- the substantially annular body 10 of the nozzle head is in- ternally formed with two parallel 360° circumferential grooves 14 and 14', symmetrically placed in respect of a central, radially inwardly directed, annular portion 12, said grooves 14 and 14', moreover, each being defined by an axi- ally displaceable nozzle ring 16 and 16', so that each of the internal circumferential grooves 14 and 14' exhibits a trapezoidal cross-section, the longest of the parallel sides being positioned at the central, radially inwardly directed annular portion 12.
