  • Green ABSIRACT A tool for making or breaking a threaded pipe joint, including two gripping assemblies adapted to extend about and grip two pipe sections respectively and each having two jaws hinged together for opening and closing movement, with the two gripping assemblies being mounted for relative rotary movement about the pipe axis by power driven actuating means, preferably including two piston and cylinder mechanisms, each of which acts in one rotary direction against one of the gripping assemblies and in the opposite rotary direction against the other gripping assembly at essentially the location of the hinge between its two jaws.
  • power driven actuating means preferably including two piston and cylinder mechanisms, each of which acts in one rotary direction against one of the gripping assemblies and in the opposite rotary direction against the other gripping assembly at essentially the location of the hinge between its two jaws.
  • That patent shows an arrangement including an outer frame structure containing two gripping assemblies which are relatively rotatably movable by a piston and cylinder mechanism, with each assembly including a pair of jaws hinged together for relative opening and closing movement.
  • Other prior art tools have included two such gripping assemblies formed of jaws hinged together for swinging movement, but without the necessity for an outer mounting or retaining structure as discussed above.
  • the present invention provides an improved joint make-up or break-out tool which is much more compact structurally. and more easily manipulated into and out of an active pipe gripping position, than have been the make-up and break-out tools of the prior art.
  • the tool of the invention can extend about a well pipe or the like at the location of a threaded joint, and by reason of its construction need not project laterally outwardly from the pipe in any direction more than a limited amount. to thereby minimize the space requirements of the tool.
  • the powered actuating unit or units of the device are so located relative to the pipe gripping portions of the tool as to produce a maximum effective torque with minimum structure. and to apply that torque to the gripping assemblies in a very manner virtually eliminating any tendency for exertion of un wanted couple forces against the joint.
  • an actuating unit which applies its torque producing force to one of the gripping assemblies at essentially the location of the hinge axis about which the jaws of that assembly swing between open and closed positions.
  • this actuating unit is a piston and cylinder mechanism acting against a jaw of one gripping assembly at a location offset from the hinge axis of that assembly,
  • connection to the hinge axis may be made by pivotally attaching the actuating unit to the same hinge pin which connects two of the jaws together.
  • two such piston and cylinder actuating units are employed, attached to the two hinge connections respectively of the two gripping assemblies.
  • the cylinder of each assembly may be pivotally attached to a jaw while its piston may be pivotally connected to one of the hinge pins.
  • each actuating unit should apply its force to the hinge connection essentially tangentially with respect to the arcuate path followed by that hinge connection during a joint making or breakinng operation.
  • a particular feature of the invention resides in a preferred manner in which the force is desirably applied precisely tangentially at an intermediate point along the path of arcuate movement of the hinge connection. and varies slightly but only from precise tangency at opposite ends of that path of travel, thus assuring transmission of torque in optimum fashion to the two gripping assemblies.

  • the outer ege 94 of flange 93 extends arcuately about pipe axis 22, so that in all relative rotary positions to which the two gripping assemblies may be turned, the two flanges 9] and 93 are engageable to support the lower assembly 21 from the upper assembly, and prevent relative axial separation of these two gripping assemblies.
  • the previously discussed bottom plate has a portion forming an arcuate radially inwardly projecting horizontal flange 95 engageable with the underside of a radially outwardly projecting flange 96 rigidly carried by jaw 25a, to coact with the previously mentioned flanges 91 and 93 in supporting the lower jaws from the upper jaws, and preventing axial separation of the two gripping assemblies.
  • the axis of movement 77a of the piston within unit 23 is horizontal, and perpendicular to the vertical axis 86a of pivotal movement of cylinder 75a. Also, the axes 77 and 77a should intersect and be perpendicular to the vertical axes 29a and 29, respectively.

  • the operator then actuates valve 64 of FIG. 4 to admit pressurized hydraulic fluid to the radially outer portions of the cylinders of units 62 and 63, to thereby force the pistons in those cylinders radially inwardly, so that the dies 54 and 55 engage radially inwardly against the pipe and clamp it tightly against the opposed stationary jaws 53 and 56.
  • a very limited angular movement of this type is normally sufiicient to break the threaded connection between the two pipe sections, and permit the upper section to be thereafter easily unscrewed from the lower section by other equipment.
  • the relative angular motion of the two gripping assemblies is assumed to be approximately
  • the upper section II may be screwed loosely into the lower section, and the actuating units 23 and 24 be then supplied with pressure fluid at their inner ends in a relation turning the upper and lower gripping assemblies relative to one another from the position of FIGS. 2 and 3 to the position of FIGS. 1 and 4.
  • the actuating force applied to the hinge connections by units 23 and 24 is transmitted to the gripping assemblies approximately tangentially with respect to the path of arcuate movement of those hinge connections. That is, in FIG. 4, the axis of movement 77 of piston 76 extends approximately tangentially with respect to the arcuate path 100 which the axis 29a of hinge connection 28a follows as it moves about pipe axis 22 upon energization actuating unit 24. Similarly, at the opposite side of the tool, the piston of actuating unit 23 applies force essentially tangentially with respect to the path of movement of the hinge connection which it acts against. These tangential relationships assure the application of very high torque to the gripping assemblies for any given force developed in the actuating units 23 and 24.
  • FIG. 12 shows disgrammatically a variational arrangement which may be considered as identical with the form of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 through 11, except that the two actuating piston and cylinder units 123 and 124 (corresponding to units 23 and 24 of the first form of the invention) have their axes 177 and 177a (corresponding to axes 77 and 77a of FIG. 4) disposed at an angle a with respect to one another, which is so selected as to further maximize the amount of pipe turning torque which is developed.
  • the range of movement of one of the hinge axes 130 by unit 123 is from the full line position of FIG. 12 to the position represented at 130' in that figure.
  • the path of arcuate movement of the hinge connection and its axis, as well as the part 180 at the end of the piston rod, is represented by the arcuate path 101 extending abut pipe axis 122.
  • the piston and cylinder mechanism 123 is so located that its axis 1770 is initially directed slightly inwardly relative to arcuate path 101, and at the position 130"is directed slightly outwardly relative to that path, so that a precisely tangential relationship with respect to an are about pipe axis 122 is attained only at a central location 102.
  • maximum torque is developed at this intermediate point along the path of movement, and even at the extremities of the range of movement the variation from a true tangential relationship is minimized.
  • the second actuating unit 124 has its piston axis 177 similarly disposed with respect to the arcuate path of movement of its associated hinge connection, so that unit 124 also applies force precisely tangentially at only a central location along its path of movement, but has minimum deviation from such tangential relation at the opposite ends of its path of travel.
  • the maximum deviation from precise tangency may be even less than it appears in FIG. 12, since the total angle of movement between points and 130' has been exagerated in FIG. 12 for clarity of illustration, and may in fact be substantially less than that shown (preferably being about 15 total as in FIG. 3).
  • connection of the mechanisms 23 and 24 or 123 and 124 to the gripping assemblies at their hinge axes has the additional advantage, beyond those previously discussed, of enabling opening and closing of the jaws without extending or retracting movement of the pistons relative to their cylinders, since opening and closing of the jaws does not require movement of their hinge axes.
