Top drive mechanism for drill rod
View Patent ↗A top drive mechanism for a drill rod for cutting of delayed coking units in the petroleum refining industry includes a gooseneck connector, a washpipe assembly, an output shaft, and a power mechanism for driving the output shaft to rotate. The output shaft has an integral structure formed by a shaft body and a flange; a step I is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the output shaft; a support ring is disposed on an end face of the step I; the output shaft mates with the support ring through a key I; a lock nut fixes the support ring onto the end face of the step I; a lower portion of the support ring is provided with a self-aligning thrust roller bearing. The structure has high stability such that the service life of the top drive device is extended and installation and disassembly are easy and fast.
1. A top drive mechanism for a drill rod, comprising a gooseneck connector, a washpipe assembly, an output shaft, a power mechanism for driving the output shaft to rotate, and a decelerator, wherein the gooseneck connector is connected with a high pressure pump through a high pressure hose; the washpipe assembly is connected between the gooseneck connector and the output shaft to achieve dynamic seal for the output shaft; the power mechanism is fixed onto a housing of the decelerator; an output end of the power mechanism is connected with a final gear disposed on the output shaft through the decelerator; the decelerator is fixedly disposed on a support; the gooseneck connector is fixedly provided with an upper cover plate connected with an elevating mechanism; the support and the upper cover plate are fixedly connected; a shell, located below the support, is disposed on the output shaft; the shell and the support are fixedly connected, and a cavity that accommodates the final gear is formed between lower end faces of the shell and the support, wherein: the output shaft has an integral structure formed by a shaft body and a flange; the shaft body has a stepped hollow structure; the flange is fixedly connected with the drill rod; an upper end of the shaft body passes through a bearing hole of the support to seal and butt a port of the washpipe assembly; a step I is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the output shaft in the bearing hole; a support ring is disposed on an end face of the step I; a keyway is provided in an inner hole of the support ring; the output shaft mates with the support ring through a key I; the output shaft is further provided with a lock nut, and the lock nut fixes the support ring onto the end face of the step I; a lower portion of the support ring is provided with a self-aligning thrust roller bearing, and the self-aligning thrust roller bearing is disposed in the bearing hole of the support; an axial force of the output shaft is exerted on the support through the lock nut, the support ring, and the self-aligning thrust roller bearing, a step IV is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the support ring, and a radial bearing I is disposed on an end face of the step IV; and
the final gear mates with the output shaft through a key II, and a radial bearing II, located at a lower end of the final gear, is disposed in a bearing hole of the shell.
2. The top drive mechanism for a drill rod according to claim 1 , wherein, an oil-retaining ring is disposed between a lower end of the bearing hole of the support and the output shaft.
3. The top drive mechanism for a drill rod according to claim 2 , wherein, the lock nut is provided with a lock screw, and a lower end of the lock screw protrudes and butts against an end face of the support ring.
