What is the tracked undercarriage of a water well drilling rig?

 Crawler undercarriage of tracked water well drilling rigs

The tracked undercarriage of a tracked water well drilling rig is an important part of the drilling rig, which bears the role of supporting the whole rig, providing traveling power, and ensuring the stability of the drilling rig in all kinds of complex terrain.
Role of track undercarriage
Support: The crawler undercarriage provides a solid support platform for the whole drilling rig to ensure the stability of the drilling operation.
Traveling: Driven by the track, the drilling rig can travel on the rugged ground and reach all corners of the construction site.
Shock Absorption: The crawler chassis absorbs vibrations from the ground and protects the rig's delicate internal components.
Load Distribution: The crawler chassis distributes the weight of the rig over a large area, reducing the pressure on the ground and preventing the foundation from sinking.
Composition of track undercarriage
The tracked undercarriage consists of the following parts:
Tracks: Consist of a series of track plates and connecting pins that wrap around the drive and guide wheels. The tracks are in contact with the ground and provide traction.
The drive wheels are driven by the engine and move the tracks.
GUIDE WHEEL: Guides the direction of travel of the track and maintains tension on the track.
Supporting Wheel: Supports the weight of the track and reduces the load on the driving and guiding wheels.
Tensioning device: Maintains proper tension of the tracks to prevent slackening of the tracks.
Traveling mechanism: Including hydraulic motor, reducer, etc. to provide power for the tracks.
Advantages of tracked undercarriage
Strong passability: Crawler undercarriage has a large grounding area, which can adapt to all kinds of complex terrain, such as mud, soft, rugged, etc.
Good Stability: Crawler undercarriage can provide good stability and maintain balance even on sloping ground.
Strong traction: The friction between the track and the ground is large, which can provide strong traction and is suitable for all kinds of drilling operations.
Maintenance of Track Undercarriage
Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the wear and tear of the track, and replace the worn-out track plate in time.
Keep clean: Clean the dirt and debris on the tracks regularly to prevent them from affecting the performance of the tracks.
Lubricate: Regularly lubricate the joints of the tracks to minimize wear.
Adjust Tension: Maintain proper tension on the tracks to prevent slack or over-tightening.

Summarize

The crawler chassis of tracked water well drilling rig is an important part of the drilling rig, and its performance directly affects the operational efficiency and stability of the drilling rig. By understanding the structure, function and maintenance methods of the track undercarriage, you can better use and maintain the rig.

How to extend the life of drill pipe

  1. When using a new drill pipe, the drilling rig manufacturer should make sure that the wire fasteners on the front cut-off (protecting the shaft head) of the drill bit are also close to the new one. A ring-buckled rotating head can easily damage the wire fasteners of the new drill pipe, resulting in leaks, snaps, and loosening, and so on. 2. In the use of drill pipe for a drilling, should be first “grinding new buckle”, which consists of, first smeared with silk buckle oil, and then use the drill rig full torque, and then open the buckle, and then smeared with silk buckle oil and then open, and so on for three times, you can avoid the new wear and buckle. 3. As far as possible to maintain the drill pipe under the ground and on the ground in a straight line, so as to avoid part of the side of the wire buckle force and cause unwanted wear and tear, or even jump buckle, pay attention to the rig anchored to avoid the construction of the force to move is very important. 4. The buckle...

What are the Basic Maintenance Methods for Water Well Drilling Rigs

  Cleaning: After every day's operation, clean the mud, oil, and other debris on the rig in time to keep the rig clean. Checking lubrication: regularly check  the lubrication points to ensure that the lubricant is sufficient and the grease is clean. Fasteners check: you can check whether the bolts and nuts of each part are loose and tighten them in time. Hydraulic system checks: you can check whether the hydraulic oil level is normal, whether there is no leakage phenomenon, and whether the hydraulic oil is clean. Lubrication system maintenance: regular replacement of lubricating oil, grease, cleaning oil filter, and oil tank. Hydraulic system maintenance: regular replacement of hydraulic oil, cleaning hydraulic filter. Cooling system maintenance: clean the radiator, and check the coolant level. Transmission system maintenance: check the tightness of the transmission belt, and replace the worn transmission belt. Electrical system maintenance: check whether the line is firm...

Use and maintenance of drill bits

Use and maintenance of drill bits: 1. Choose a suitable drill bit:  Before using a drill bit, it is necessary to select the appropriate type and specification of drill bit based on drilling conditions and needs. 2. Installing the drill bit:  When installing the drill bit, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the drill bit and the drill pipe is firm, and to correctly install the cutting teeth of the drill bit. 3. Maintain appropriate drilling speed and pressure during the drilling process:  Excessive drilling speed and pressure can lead to premature wear and damage of the drill bit, while too small can affect drilling efficiency. 4. Regular inspection and maintenance:  Regularly check the wear of the drill bit and replace severely worn components in a timely manner. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean and lubricate the drill bit to extend its service life. 5. Storage and preservation:  When storing and preserving drill bits, it i...
