Description

[0002] With the continuous development of oil and gas field super-high pressure, super-deep well, horizontal well, its operating conditions are also more and more bad, requires fracturing equipment can high pressure, large displacement operation, some well site also requires continuous operation for a long time, in the case of total well site pressure, the smaller the power displacement of a single fracturing equipment, the more the number of fracturing equipment required to meet the total pressure demand.

[0003] At present, the well site area of oil and gas exploitation is required to be smaller and smaller, and reducing the number of fracturing equipment is one of the effective means; the actual well site access is also more rugged, the more the number of fracturing equipment, the longer the well site layout time, time and effort, so the smaller the power displacement of a single fracturing equipment, the more serious the contradiction between the well site area and the well site access, and the goal of "small well site large operation" is more and more imminent.

[0004] As the core component of fracturing equipment, the common plunger pump on the market mainly includes 2800HP five-cylinder plunger pump, 3000HP three-cylinder plunger pump, 3300HP five-cylinder plunger pump and 4000HP three-cylinder plunger pump; 2800HP five-cylinder plunger pump is mainly configured on 2500 type fracturing equipment vehicle, (at present, 2500 type fracturing vehicle is the most commonly used and most done fracturing equipment in fracturing operation); 4000HP three-cylinder plunger pump is configured on 3100HP fracturing equipment vehicle, but 4000HP plunger pump is three-cylinder pump, and its displacement is much lower than that of 2800HP five-cylinder pump, under the same plunger specification and the same stroke, its displacement is only 82.54% of that of 2800HP five-cylinder pump; for the emerging electric fracturing operation in recent years, i.e. the fracturing operation form using electric motor as power source, the electric motor can select very large power, for example: the rated power can reach 3000KW, 4000KW, 5000KW, 6000KW, etc., but the plunger pump does not have such a large specification, if 2800HP plunger pump and 4000HP plunger pump are configured on electric fracturing equipment, the advantage of electric fracturing cannot be reflected, which is equivalent to a large horse pulling a small cart.

[0005] In addition, turbo fracturing is also the development trend of recent fracturing operation, (turbo fracturing is a fracturing operation form using turbo engine as power source), but the output rotation direction of turbo engine cannot match the input rotation direction of existing plunger pump, so a reversing mechanism is usually added before the input rotation direction of plunger pump, but this will increase the overall weight of turbo fracturing equipment, increase the risk of failure, increase the maintenance cost and other problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 10 , the high-power five-cylinder piston pump has a stroke of 10 in, a cylinder spacing of 11.5 in, and a brake power of 5000 HP. The stroke of 10 in ensures a large displacement, i.e., a high power, and improves the work efficiency. The cylinder spacing of 11.5 in increases the bearing area of the connecting rod and crosshead assembly 8 (connecting rod, crosshead, and bearing shell), providing sufficient bearing capacity for the five-cylinder piston pump of 5000 HP, ensuring stable large displacement output, and increasing the power of the five-cylinder piston pump, i.e., increasing the fracturing capacity of a single fracturing device, so that the total number of fracturing devices in the well site can be reduced, effectively solving the contradiction between the small well site area and the large number of fracturing devices, and also enabling the well site layout to be quickly completed with time and labor saved.

[0034] The high-power five-cylinder plunger pump comprises a power end assembly 1, a hydraulic end assembly 2 and a reduction gearbox assembly 3, the hydraulic end assembly 2 and the reduction gearbox assembly 3 are connected with the power end assembly 1 respectively, the hydraulic end assembly 2 is connected with the power end assembly 1 through connecting bolts 15, the reduction gearbox assembly 3 is connected with the power end assembly 1 through bolts, the reduction gearbox assembly 3 is externally provided with an input flange 4, and a power source is connected to the input flange 4. The reduction gearbox assembly 3 comprises a parallel stage reduction gearbox 16 and a planetary stage reduction gearbox 17, one end of the planetary stage reduction gearbox 17 is connected with the parallel stage reduction gearbox 16, and the other end of the planetary stage reduction gearbox 17 is connected with the power end assembly 1. The input angle of the reduction gearbox assembly 3 can be adjusted according to input requirements, and the required multi-angle adjustment of the five-cylinder plunger pump transmission in the fracturing equipment can be met. The reduction gearbox assembly 3 adopts helical tooth meshing, the planetary stage reduction gearbox 17 comprises a sun gear 22, four planetary gears 20 and a gear ring 21, the four planetary gears 20 form a planetary gear mechanism, the planetary gear mechanism is arranged in the interior of the gear ring 21, and the sun gear 22 is located in the center of the planetary gear mechanism. The parallel stage reduction gearbox 16 comprises a large gear 18 and a small gear 19, the small gear 19 is connected with the input flange 4, and the large gear 18 is coaxially connected with the sun gear 22 of the planetary stage reduction gearbox 17. The input flange 4 inputs a rotating speed, the rotating speed is transmitted to the large gear 18 through the small gear 19 to realize one-stage reduction, the rotating speed is transmitted to the sun gear 22 through the large gear 18, and the sun gear 22 transmits the rotating speed to the planetary gears 20 to realize two-stage reduction, so that a large transmission ratio is obtained. The hydraulic end assembly 2 comprises a valve box 12 and a plunger 11, and the plunger 11 is arranged in the interior of the valve box 12.

[0035] The reduction ratio of the reduction gearbox assembly 3 is 12.2-12.5. The reduction ratio of the parallel stage reduction gearbox 16 is 2.1-2.5, and the reduction ratio of the planetary stage reduction gearbox 17 is 5-5.8. The reduction ratio of the reduction gearbox assembly 3 is suitable for the fracturing operation with the motor as the power source, i.e. electric drive fracturing. The reduction ratio of the reduction gearbox assembly 3 is 9.4-9.6. The reduction ratio of the parallel stage reduction gearbox 16 is 1.6-1.8, the reduction ratio of the planetary stage reduction gearbox 17 is 5.3-6.3, and the reduction ratio of the reduction gearbox assembly 3 is suitable for the fracturing operation with the turbine engine as the power source, i.e. turbine fracturing.
