摘要:
An electronic control system comprises a first tubular handling tool, a sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to control actuation of the first tubular handling tool in response to an electronic signal received from the sensor that corresponds to an operational characteristic of the first tubular handling tool. The electronic control system functions as an electronic interlock system to prevent mishandling of a tubular. A method of controlling a tubular handling tool comprises measuring an operational characteristic of the tubular handling tool, communicating the operational characteristic to a controller in the form of an electronic signal, and using the controller to control actuation of the tubular handling tool in response to the measured operational characteristic.
摘要:
A control system comprising a tubular handling tool, comprising having a plurality of piston cylinders and a plurality of slips configured to engage a tubular string; and a volume synchronizer comprising: a first piston cylinder having a piston connected to a first rod member; a plate member connected to the first rod member; and a plurality of second piston cylinders, each having a piston connected to the plate member by a plurality of second rod members; wherein pressurized fluid supplied to the first piston cylinder moves the plate member to move each of the pistons in the second piston cylinders, thereby forcing pressurized fluid out of the second piston cylinders and simultaneously into the piston cylinders of the tubular handling tool, thereby actuating the slips into engagement with the tubular string.
