    Drilling rig is a general term for a full set of drilling equipment, and the rotary rotary rig
    is currently widely used worldwide.
    The drilling rig is composed
    of diesel engine, drive shaft, mud pump, winch, derrick, crane, swimming sled, large hook, faucet and turntable.

    The entire drilling equipment can be divided into four parts according to the function: (1) rotating system, including faucet, square drill pipe, turntable, drill pipe, drill collar, drill bit, etc.

    ; (4) Power system, including power engine and corresponding transmission devices
    .

    Each drilling rig is generally equipped with 3-5 high-power diesel engines.
    They are the "heart" of the full set of drilling rigs, which can lift drilling tools weighing up to 200-300 tons (drilling tools consisting of square drill pipe, drill pipe, drill collar and drill bits are called drill tools), so that the turntable drives the drill bits to rotate quickly to break the rock; The mud pump circulates the mud and forms a high-pressure liquid flow, which is washed through the drill bit from the drill pipe and carries out the drilling chips
    .

    Drilling is one of the most critical personnel to operate the drilling rig and implement the drilling operation, during the drilling process, the drilling drill can display the drilling "finger weight meter" at any time at any time, operate the clutch and brake handle, control the drilling pressure, and drill evenly
