Abstract

A drawworks for a drilling device for lowering and hoisting a load such as a drill string or parts thereof includes a frame comprising a first bearing point, a second bearing point, and a third bearing point, a winding drum, and a first bearing device connected to the frame for the winding drum. The first bearing device is arranged so that a center of respective bearing forces is located at each of the first bearing point, at the second bearing point, and at the third bearing point.

Claims (20)

1. A drawworks for a drilling device for lowering and hoisting a load, the drawworks comprising:

a frame comprising a first bearing point, a second bearing point, a third bearing point, and a center longitudinal axis;

a winding drum;

a first bearing device connected to the frame for the winding drum,

a braking device arranged on a first side of the drawworks, the braking device being configured to brake the winding drum; and

a rotary drive device for the winding drum arranged on a second side of the drawworks,

a second bearing device configured to have the rotary drive-side region of the winding shaft be mounted therein, the second bearing point and the third bearing point being formed by the second bearing device,

wherein,

the first bearing point is arranged on the first side of the drawworks on which the braking device is arranged;

the second bearing point and the third bearing point are each arranged on the second side of the drawworks on which the rotary drive device is arranged,

the first bearing point is arranged on the center longitudinal axis of the frame,

each of the second bearing point and the third bearing point are arranged on mutually opposite sides of the center longitudinal axis of the frame,

the second bearing device is configured to be displaceable relative to the frame and to allow a pivoting movement about axes extending perpendicular to the axis of the winding shaft, and

the second bearing point and the third bearing point each comprise a second bearing arrangement, each second bearing arrangement being configured to allow a longitudinal displacement of the second bearing device parallel to an axial direction of the winding shaft and a pivoting movement about axes extending perpendicular to the axial direction of the winding shaft, each second bearing arrangement comprising a pendulum sliding bearing and a bolt which is configured to be connected to or inserted into the second bearing device and to be accommodated by the pendulum sliding bearing so that the pendulum sliding bearing is displaceable in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the winding shaft.

2. The drawworks as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first bearing point comprises a first bearing arrangement in which a winding shaft is mounted so as to be fixed in an axial direction with respect to the frame and to pivot about axes which extend perpendicular to the axial direction with respect to the winding shaft, wherein the winding shaft is connected to the winding drum so as to be rotationally fixed.

3. The drawworks as recited in claim 2 , wherein the first bearing arrangement comprises a pendulum bearing.

4. The drawworks as recited in claim 3 , wherein the pendulum bearing is a pendulum roller bearing.

5. The drawworks as recited in claim 2 , wherein the winding shaft comprises a rotary drive-side region.

6. The drawworks as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second bearing device is arranged on a drive unit.

7. The drawworks as recited in claim 6 , wherein the drive unit comprises a gear device configured to transmit a rotary drive power to the winding shaft.
