Design and Research of Robotic Arm for Transporting Oil Pipes During Oilfield Well Repair Operations Based on PLC Control System
In the oil field repair operations in China,there are risks and low manual efficiency in manually assisting the lifting and lowering of the tubing string.Therefore,robotic arm for transporting oil pipes during the repair operation has been developed to solve the problem of the robotic arm grasping the tubing.By analyzing the action process of the robotic arm,the required input/output points for the robotic arm control system and the hardware model of the PLC were determined.The configuration of I/O addresses was completed,and the wiring schematic and control program of the PLC were designed.The research results have certain guiding value for the design and application of robotic arms for transporting objects,and provide a good research direction for the mechanization and automation of well repair operations.
