Abstract

An internal blowout-prevention gas-retaining connector has a body mounted at the bottom of a drill pipe. The body includes a valve pipe section and a connecting pipe section arranged from top to bottom. The bottom of the valve pipe section is inserted into the top of the connecting pipe section. The blowout-prevention valve seat is provided at a bottom end of the valve pipe section while a blowout-prevention valve bonnet is provided on a bottom surface of the valve pipe section. The edge of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is rotatably connected to a bottom surface edge of the valve pipe section. A torsion spring is provided on a bottom surface of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the bottom surface of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet while the other end is connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe section.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An internal blowout-prevention gas-retaining connector for mine, comprising:
a body comprising a valve pipe section having a first end and a second end and a connecting pipe section having a first end and a second end arranged from top to bottom, a second end of the valve pipe section being inserted into a first end of the connecting pipe section,
wherein a blowout-prevention valve seat is provided at the second end of the valve pipe section, and a blowout-prevention valve bonnet is rotatably connected to a bottom surface edge of the valve pipe section,
a torsion spring is provided on a bottom surface of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet, and
a first end of the torsion spring is connected to the bottom surface of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet, and a second end of the torsion spring is connected to an inner wall of the connecting pipe section,
wherein the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is elastically deformable, and
wherein: when the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is in an open state, the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is curved and is adapted to the inner wall of the female terminal section; and when the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is in a closed state, the blowout prevention valve bonnet is in a horizontal position relative to the female terminal section and is in a shape of a flat plate.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a male terminal section is provided at the second end of the valve pipe section, a female terminal section is provided at the first end of the connecting pipe section, an outlet section in provided at the second end of the connecting pipe, and an inner diameter of the female terminal section is greater than an inner diameter of the outlet section.

3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein a sum of a length of the male terminal section and a diameter of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is less than or equal to a length of the female terminal section.

4. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the valve pipe section and the connecting pipe section are threadedly connected.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connector further comprises a cylindrical pin, wherein the cylindrical pin is arranged on the bottom surface of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet, and extends through the blowout-prevention valve bonnet and the torsion spring.

6. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing surface of the blowout-prevention valve seat is a first inclined surface whose diameter gradually increases from top to bottom, a corresponding sealing surface of the blowout-prevention valve bonnet is a second inclined surface, and the first inclined surface is configured to engage the second inclined surface and form a sealing.
