DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rotary device with high anticorrosive properties for pressure control in the well head, which is intended for the control of explosions in boreholes, consisting of a mechanism of quick coupling, support of high pressures, as well as as of replaceable and long-lasting sealing elements.
Considering that drilling through a balance sheet is a relatively new technology, due to the fact that it is approximately ten years old, some improvement points were studied in the different processes and machinery that together make this type of drilling. In order to have its own brand and customized machinery for the works, points of improvement were developed, and based on field experiences, it was decided to gather all these points in a single product, and thus, eliminate components in a drilling platform . Based on the research and new technologies existing against the technologies that were available in that market niche, certain specific points could be found for the improvement and adaptation of this type of products.
It was analyzed that one of the main objectives of the present invention is to act as safety equipment in high pressures, working with a mechanism constituted with bearings, which in turn, contain seals and withstand pressures from 1000 to 3000 psi, when it is found working rotating at a constant speed of 280 rpm, and up to 5000 psi working statically adapting to the needs of the field, innovating and improving the performance of the rotating heads existing in the market.
During the stage of the tests of the physical performance of the present invention, especially in the area of the seals, various problems caused by the increase in pressure were found, in addition to the heating of the pieces due to the friction of the same, which caused the seals were melted, so the device did not comply with the internal operation. After several tests the optimum seals for the internal operation of the rotating device were determined, giving excellent results from the first test (figures 12, 13 and 14).
Based on these tests, the ability of the rotating device to work with high pressures, and with resistance to temperature, was determined both by the seals and by the components of the device.
The tests were worked with pressures of 1000 to 3000 psi rotating; pressures from 1000 to 5000 psi static; and with temperatures from 0 to 300 ° C.
Several considerations must be taken since the present invention is a component that works under balance, that is to say, that it is necessary to have a difference of pressure, as much in the interior part as in the exterior part, it is established that the seals must have as minimum a pressure of +100 psi greater than the outer part of the entire component. In this sense, as for the oil to be used, it must comply with some characteristics such as providing superior protection against oxidation and wear, low friction, excellent softness and filterability, easy release of air and excellent anti-foam, good demulsibility, and excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability. Among the oils used with better results, and the one recommended for use in the equipment, is the oil grade ISO 68.
The maximum revolutions that the assembly can withstand, should not exceed 280 rpm at 300 rpm, since the components have large diameters, which would cause the tangential speed to rise, as well as the probability that the components will suffer some damage or fracture.
When assembling, the seals should be lubricated with grease for high pressures and temperature, since this type of grease has properties that while working keeps the parts lubricated without losing their viscosity. For the present invention, SKF brand grease called GRA-EP2-60 based on petroleum hydrocarbons was used.
Likewise, as another main objective of the present invention, a shirt (sleeve) made of material 4140 was manufactured that functions as a wear accessory, which receives all the friction effort, preventing wear or deformation from suffering directly the mandrel. { mandrel), making its repair more economical, since, it would only be necessary to replace the shirt. { sleeve) without having to make a major repair to the mandrel. { mandrel), which usually consists of applying a layer of tungsten carbide, which entails an excessive cost.
The pieces of the present invention were designed to comply with standards required by the API. { American Petroleum Institute), such as API 6A and ISO 10423, for drilling equipment. The API 6A and ISO 10423 specification is the recognized standard in the industry that applies to the detailed requirements for the manufacture of equipment for the suspension of tubulars, valves and connectors used in oil and gas wells, which contain and control the pressure and the flow of the fluid.

In the upper part of the bearing a guide bell body (700) can be used, which is a metallic tube whose lower part (701) is adjustable to the bearing cover '(502), which has a guide hood cover ( 900), which is a piece that in its lower part (901) has a packing (902) and which holds a polyurethane sealing element. { stripper rubber) secondary, which is a tube with conical termination (801) in one! from its extremes. In such a way, that the guide bell body serves as a mandrel to house the sealing element, which allows to have an assembly of the sealing element, easy and fast, in a manner very similar to the primary assembly.
The rotary device of the present invention by its configuration and components has multiple advantages with respect to those of the state of the art, among which stand out: - The high anticorrosive properties of the material type due to its alloy in 4130 steel, which allows greater resistance to wear and other factors such as the resistance to solvents, oils and gases that may appear in the perforation.
- Possess side flanges attached to the body, unlike others in which they are on a projection of the piece.
- The assembly is up to six times faster than any other head of similar application. All components of the rotating device can be assembled in a 3 hours time, considering having the right tools. Similar rotary heads are assembled regularly in a time of about 20 hours, that is, the assembly time of the rotating device of the present invention, up to 6 times less than in commercial heads.
- The parts and consumables are made of a more resistant material, in this sense the main consumables, that is, the seals, have a period of life in optimal conditions of 5,000 hours, based on laboratory tests working in an ideal scenario. The current heads have a duration of 80 hours in certain consumables.
- Inside the assembly, there is a piece called cover or shirt (sleevé) that works like a fuse, that is to say, a shirt that receives all the wear, avoiding with this costly repairs.
- The travel bell, has a larger internal diameter, facilitating the entry of tools.
-The rotating device has an accessory called a guide bell, which guides the pipeline when the well is out of phase with the drilling rig.
This guide hood comprises of 5 parts being described below: Guide hood body: It is the element that anchors with the upper part of the bearing, and that realizes the main support of the sub assembly.
Guide hood cover: This cover, makes the seal on the top and which is anchored to the body of the guide bell.
Needle bearing: this bearing allows rotation between the body and the rubber element (stripper rubber) (800).
Rotary technology seal: allows the proper tightness between the rotating components.
Stripper rubber (second element): it is polyurethane rubber (800).
- The hydraulic piston used in the rotating device, is of greater strength and with an arrangement that optimizes the closure, avoiding 2 or 3 smaller pistons as they are placed on similar heads in addition to a mechanical lock, which is composed of a threaded bolt that It does not depend on power units and provides greater security when working. Likewise, in comparison with other similar products, the clamps provide a greater area of anchorage, since its inner part imprisons most of the outer brow of the head and accessories, providing greater security when keeping the piston closed annexing Therefore, unlike other rotary pressure control heads on the market, the rotary device of the present invention has shown greater efficiency in different areas of operation or operation, even that rotary heads of commercial pressure control, with plastic means of sealing, because it turns out to be easily assemblable and repairable, besides being able to be coupled and fastened until adapting to different sizes of pipes, maintaining the control of pressure, still under sudden movements or point elevations of pressure, avoiding breaks during the months of useful life of the rotating device. Likewise, due to its buildable and manageable character, it allows a secure fit even under extreme installation conditions.
It is to be understood that the description and the figures presented are by way of example, being non-restrictive with respect to the invention and therefore not limited to the illustrated but to the scope of the corresponding claims.
