Definitions

  • This invention relates to an auxiliary arm for drilling equipment. More particularly, it relates to an auxiliary arm for drilling equipment including a top drive drilling machine which is vertically movable along a drilling centre and in which a pipe manipulator is arranged to move pipes between the drilling centre and a pipe magazine.
  • the invention has for its object to remedy or reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art .
  • An auxiliary arm for drilling equipment including a top drive drilling machine which is vertically movable along a drilling centre and in which a pipe manipulator is arranged to move pipes between the drilling centre and a pipe magazine, the drilling
  • auxiliary equipment being characterized by at least one remote- controllable or automatically operated auxiliary arm for the pipe being arranged beside the drilling centre, the gripping member of the auxiliary arm being positional at least in the drilling centre or in the working area of the pipe
  • the auxiliary arm may thereby relieve the pipe manipulator, for example when the pipe is held at rest in wait for the top drive drilling machine to get into position.
  • the auxiliary arm may take over the pipe from the pipe manipulator, so that the pipe manipulator may commence the next operation, the auxiliary arm moving the pipe to the drilling centre when this is ready to receive the pipe.
  • the auxiliary arm may be provided with an inner pivot joint near its attachment and an intermediary pivot joint between the inner pivot joint and the gripping member in order to achieve a satisfactory working area, typically in the horizontal plane. This means that said joints generally has their pivot axes parallel to the drilling centre.
  • auxiliary arm may be designed only to hold the pipe at rest after it has taken over from the pipe manipulator.
  • the gripping member may be connected to the auxiliary arm by means of an outer pivot joint which, typically, also has its axis parallel to the drilling centre.
  • At least the inner pivot joint, the intermediate joint or the outer pivot joint may be rotatable around more than one axis. This makes it possible for at least a portion of the
  • auxiliary arm to be rotated away from its main working plane.
  • At least one portion of the auxiliary arm may be rotatable in more than one plane, which may also be achieved by arranging several joints successively along the auxiliary arm, the pivot axes of the joints having different directions.
  • auxiliary arm arranged on opposite sides of the drilling centre.
  • the auxiliary arms may be displaceable in height.
  • the arm portions and the gripping member may be manoeuvred in a manner known per se, for example by means of electric or hydraulic actuators.
  • a device according to the invention contributes in a simple and reasonable way to achieving an increase in the tripping rate compared with the prior art.
  • Figure 1 shows drilling equipment with auxiliary arms in
  • Figure 2 shows a section I-I of figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 shows a section from figure 2 on a larger scale
  • Figure 4 shows a view II -II of figure 2 on a larger scale.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates drilling equipment including a derrick guide 2 which is provided with a top drive drilling machine 4, the drilling machine 4 being vertically movable along the derrick guide 2.
  • the working area of pipe manipulators 6 and the position of the pipe magazine 7 are indicated in figure 2.
  • An assembled pipe 8 in the form of a drill pipe is in the drilling centre 10 and is held in this position by two first auxiliary arms 12 until the drilling machine 4 grips the pipe 8.
  • the drilling equipment 1 is provided with a second pair of auxiliary arms 14 that are in an idle position on the opposite side of the drilling centre 10 relative to the first auxiliary arms 12.
  • the auxiliary arm includes an inner arm potion 16 and an outer arm portion 18, see figures 3 and 4.
  • the inner arm portion 16 is connected to the derrick guide 2 by means of an inner pivot joint 20 and is connected, at its opposite end portion, to the outer arm portion 18 via an intermediate pivot joint 22.
  • the outer arm portion 18 is connected to a gripping member 24 by means of an outer pivot joint 26.
  • the auxiliary arms 12, 14 are thereby arranged to move the pipe 8 to any position within their working area including in the drilling centre 10.
  • auxiliary arms 12, 14 may be attached to structural parts other than the derrick guide 2.
  • the intermediate pivot joint 22 is rotatable around a first axis 28 which is parallel to the drilling centre 10, and a second axis 30 which is parallel to the inner arm portion 16.
  • the outer arm portion 18 with the gripping member 24 is thereby arranged to be rotated into a vertical position, see figure 4. Such a position may be favourable when the
  • auxiliary arm 12, 14 is to be parked.
