Ways to reduce the consumption of brake pads of the band brake of a drilling winch

The article provides information about the drilling winch, the belt brake of the drilling winch, and the brake pads. A method for calculating the flow rates of the brake pads of the belt brake of a drilling winch is presented, taking into account operational loads, operating modes and the average depth of the well. The calculation of the flow rates of the brake pads of the belt brake of the drilling winch was performed based on static data obtained during drilling by the drilling rig ZJ30 of «SDC KazMunayGas-Drilling LLP». The analysis of factors influencing the wear of brake elements, including specific pressure, friction temperature and frequency of braking cycles, is carried out. The presented method of calculating the brake pads of the belt brake of a drilling winch allows you to predict the service life of the brake pads, optimize the schedule for their replacement and reduce operating costs. Additionally, a method is proposed to increase the durability of brake pads, which significantly reduces the consumption of brake pads. Recommendations on the choice of friction materials and reduction of brake pad wear are given. The results obtained contribute to improving the reliability and efficiency of drilling rig operation. The results of the study are of high practical importance for improving the efficiency and reliability of drilling rigs. The presented method for calculating the consumption rates of belt brake pads allows you to: predict the wear of brake pads: this makes it possible to plan their replacement in advance, minimizing equipment downtime; reduce operating costs: optimizing the use of brake pads reduces the cost of spare parts and repairs; to increase the service life of the brake elements: the proposed method of reducing the consumption of brake pads of the drilling winch band brake can significantly reduce the consumption of brake pads; improve operational safety: timely calculation and replacement of brake pads can avoid accidents associated with brake system failure; optimize maintenance: the results of the study can be integrated into maintenance management systems, improving their efficiency.
