How To Check And Troubleshoot The Faults of Rotary Drilling RIGS

Rotary drilling RIGS frequently operate in engineering construction, and various malfunctions are inevitable. Timely inspection and elimination of faults can ensure the construction progress and reduce maintenance costs. The following are six practical key points for fault inspection and elimination:

1. Appearance and foundation inspection: Before operation, check whether there is any obvious damage, looseness or leakage in all components of the drilling rig. Check the levels of hydraulic oil and lubricating oil to ensure that the foundation conditions are normal and avoid major malfunctions caused by minor issues.

2. Power system inspection: If the engine has difficulty starting or insufficient power, it is necessary to check whether the fuel system is clogged, whether the air filter is clean, and at the same time, inspect the working condition of the spark plugs or fuel injectors, and promptly clean or replace the faulty parts.

3. Hydraulic system inspection: When problems such as insufficient pressure and slow operation occur in the hydraulic system, check whether the hydraulic oil has deteriorated and whether there is any leakage in the hydraulic pipelines. Inspect key components such as the hydraulic pump and valve group, and repair or replace damaged parts.

4. Electrical system maintenance: For abnormal instrument display and circuit faults, use a multimeter to check the continuity of the lines, inspect whether components such as relays and controllers are normal, and promptly repair short circuits and open circuits.

5. Inspection of the transmission system: If abnormal noises or poor transmission are detected during the operation of the drilling rig, check the tightness of the belts and the wear of gears to ensure that the transmission components such as chains and couplings are firmly connected. Make adjustments or replacements if necessary.

6. Braking system maintenance: When braking fails or the braking effect is poor, check the wear degree of brake pads, the level of brake fluid and the sealing of pipelines. Clean and adjust components such as brake calipers and brake discs to ensure braking safety.

In conclusion, mastering scientific inspection methods and following the troubleshooting sequence from simple to complex and from outside to inside can effectively detect and eliminate faults in rotary drilling RIGS. Paying more attention to the operating status of the equipment on a daily basis and combining it with regular maintenance and upkeep can enhance the reliability of the equipment and reduce downtime losses.
