Solutions To The Problem of Track Breakage in Rotary Drilling RIGS

The track is a key supporting component for the movement and operation of rotary drilling RIGS. Its breakage will directly lead to equipment shutdown and affect the construction progress. Understanding the solutions to track breakage is crucial for quickly restoring equipment operation.

1. Emergency shutdown inspection: Once the track is found to be broken, immediately stop the drilling rig operation to prevent further damage to the broken part. At the same time, check the degree, location of the fracture and whether the surrounding components are affected.

2. Replace spare tracks: If there are spare tracks at the construction site and they are severely broken and cannot be temporarily repaired, personnel should be organized to replace them in a timely manner. During the replacement, the operation must be carried out in accordance with the specifications to ensure that they are installed firmly.

3. Temporary welding repair: For cases where the fracture is relatively neat and the damage range is small, professional welding techniques can be used for temporary repair. After welding, a strength test must be conducted. Only after confirming safety can the operation continue.

4. Adjust the working load: After repairing or replacing the tracks, the working load of the drilling rig should be reduced in the short term to prevent the tracks from breaking again due to overload. Once the equipment operates stably, the normal load can be gradually restored.

5. Inspect the drive wheels and guide wheels: Track breakage may be related to abnormalities in the drive wheels and guide wheels. It is necessary to simultaneously check their wear and misalignment conditions, and make timely adjustments or replacements to prevent new tracks from being damaged again.

6. Strengthen daily maintenance and upkeep: Regularly clean and lubricate the tracks, check the tension of the tracks and the wear of the track plates, and replace severely worn parts in a timely manner to reduce the risk of breakage from the source.

The solution to the track breakage of a rotary drilling rig should be based on the actual situation, combining emergency handling with long-term maintenance. Timely and effective countermeasures can quickly resume construction, while daily scientific maintenance is the key to preventing track breakage. Only by attaching importance to the maintenance of the tracks can the stable operation of the rotary drilling rig be guaranteed and the construction efficiency be improved.
