Abstract: The present invention relates to a tension link drill floor level connection system for use on a drilling rig, as may be used in subterranean exploration. The present invention provides a tension link assembly for resisting separating forces incurred between sections of the substructure. In particular, the tension link assembly may be located at the drill floor level for resisting the separating forces imparted by “splayed” or wide leg mast structures that tend to separate substructure side boxes from the substructure center section. The present invention may be comprised of a first link element and a second link element with a tension link being connectable over the first and second link elements to resist separation between sections of the substructure. A latch mechanism may be utilized to prevent upward movement of the tension side boxes or center section relative to the drill floor or to one another.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于钻机上的张力连接钻台平面连接系统，可用于地下勘探。 本发明提供了一种用于抵抗在下部结构的部分之间产生的分离力的张紧连接组件。 特别地，张力连接组件可以位于钻台水平面上，以抵抗倾向于将下部结构侧箱与子结构中心部分分开的“展开”或宽腿桅杆结构施加的分离力。 本发明可以包括第一连接元件和第二连杆元件，其中张紧连接件可连接在第一和第二连杆元件上，以抵抗子结构的部分之间的分离。 可以使用闩锁机构来防止张力侧箱或中心部相对于钻台或彼此的向上运动。
