Importance and development of lock on oil drilling platform

With the development of offshore oil resources, more and more attention has been paid to the safety of offshore oil drilling platforms. As one of the key links to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, the lock of oil drilling platform plays an important role in ensuring the safety of life and property of staff.

First, the functional characteristics of the lock on the oil drilling platform

1. Protection function: maintain stability and reliability in harsh environment; With fire and explosion-proof performance;

2. Good sealing performance: effectively prevent seawater from invading the internal space and avoid mechanical failure or electrical short circuit;

3. High safety factor: it has multiple locking mechanisms to improve the requirements of tensile strength and pressure resistance, and is equipped with an emergency opening device to facilitate quick escape in case of emergency treatment.

Second, the development process and current situation analysis

Since the first offshore fixed production structure was built in the early 1950s, thousands of offshore/deepwater production facilities of different types have been established around the world. In view of these complex and changeable application scenarios, the traditional "ordinary" door locks obviously can't meet the actual needs, so a series of special product lines specially used in such environments have been born.

At present, the mainstream models on the market can be roughly divided into two categories: manual type (such as torsion bar type and push-pull handle) and electric type. Among them, the former is widely used in non-critical parts because of its simplicity and low cost; The latter is more likely to appear in situations where there are high expectations for automation or remote control operations are needed.

Third, the trend forecast of technological innovation

With the continuous development and progress of Internet of Things technology, intelligent interconnection will become one of the core elements of a new generation of solutions in the future. For example, using wireless communication module to realize information interactive transmission and combining big data analysis algorithm to optimize management process; It will be possible to monitor the changes of the surrounding environment through the sensor network and adjust the working state in time to adapt to unexpected situations.

In addition, some manufacturers are trying to introduce face recognition technology into the access verification mechanism to further improve the security level. Although it is still in the exploration stage, it is expected that related commercialization results will be available in the near future.

In a word, how to protect offshore operators from accidental injuries will be the focus of the whole industry for a long time to come. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to continuously strengthen the investment in the research and development of new efficient and reliable door lock devices.
