Abstract
1,256,134. Drilling rigs. BYRON JACKSON Inc. 30 June, 1969 [3 July, 1968], No. 33023/69. Heading E1F. A floating drilling rig has the pipe string 26 held in a master gimbal bushing G in a central opening in the platform or ship, so that the pipe string is relieved of rolling and pitching stresses. Further stands of drill pipe are carried in a derrick (Fig. 2b, not shown) which has fixed rackers through which a drill pipe stand 49 can be lowered down the axis of the derrick. To allow the stand 49 to be connected to the string 26, the upper end of the string 26 is centralised, i.e. aligned with the derrick axis, by means of bars 107-110 which form a square around it, and close in under the action of hydraulic rams such as 136 and 128. Preferably each bar is moved by two rams, one pivoted to each end of the bar, and the rams are operated in two sets (e.g. the rams for the bars 107, 108 form one set and those for the other two bars form the other set). Each set is supplied from one pump under the control of a position detector which operates a valve to stop the bars when they are a pipe radius away from the axis. The position detector (Figs. 9-11, not shown) consists of a housing containing a number of microswitches operated by abutments (156) on a rotary arm. The arm is fixed to a drum which is spring-biassed to rotate in one direction, and connected by a cable to one of the centering bars, so that as the bar is extended to centre the drill string the drum is rotated and the arm sweeps over the microswitches. The microswitches operate to close a hydraulic valve, one particular microswitch being used for the retract stroke, and a number of microswitches for the extend stroke, that appropriate to the pipe rise in use being switched into the control circuit. Hydraulic and electrical circuitry for controlling the rams is described.
