Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a discharging vehicle, specifically a precision pressure discharging vehicle for transporting and proportioning fine polyacrylamide powder for hydraulic fracturing. Background Art

[0002] Existing fine polyacrylamide powder is transported and delivered in bags. This transportation and delivery method has limitations. Loading, unloading, and manual proportioning are time-consuming and laborious, and it can no longer be applied efficiently and at low cost. As a result, it is extremely easy to cause inaccurate proportioning of polyacrylamide powder. Manual or gravity systems will result in inconsistent measurement of fine powder due to changes in the density of the fine powder, affecting the accuracy and effectiveness of the fracturing proportioning operation. At the same time, there is moisture ingress and dust flying in the bagged powder proportioning, affecting the quality and use safety of the fracturing proportioning product. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a precision pressure discharging vehicle for transporting and proportioning fine polyacrylamide powder for hydraulic fracturing, which has a simple structure and can effectively balance high-efficiency transportation and high-quality, high-precision, and safe proportioning operations.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a precision pressure discharging vehicle for transporting and proportioning fine polyacrylamide powder for hydraulic fracturing, including a vehicle head and a vehicle body. Two or more pressure vessels are arranged on the vehicle body. It is characterized in that: it further includes a pressurizing system, a metering screw device, and a water-powder mixing head arranged on the vehicle body. The pressurizing system is respectively connected to the upper ends of two or more pressure vessels through two or more pressurizing pipelines. The upper part and / or middle part and / or lower-middle part sides of adjacent two pressure vessels are connected through an outward-opening gate. The lower parts of adjacent two pressure vessels are of an inverted conical structure. The lower end of the inverted conical structure is connected to the metering screw device. The metering screw device is connected to the water-powder mixing head arranged on the vehicle body. One end of the water-powder mixing head is connected to water supply, the middle part is connected to the metering screw device, and the other end for feeding is connected to a sand mixer.

[0005] Further, a feeding port and a pressurizing port are arranged on the upper part of the pressure vessel, and a feeding cover is arranged on the feeding port.

[0006] Further, the outward-opening gate is an upward-opening or side-opening type.

[0007] Further, the pressurizing system includes a booster pump, a dryer, an air buffer tank, an intake check valve, an intake solenoid valve, and an intake flowmeter arranged in sequence on the pressurizing pipeline.

[0008] Further, an exhaust pipeline is also included. The exhaust pipeline is connected to the exhaust port at the upper end of the pressure vessel, and an exhaust check valve, a dust collector, and an exhaust solenoid valve are arranged in sequence on the exhaust pipeline.

[0009] Further, a vibration device is arranged on the outer side of the pressure vessel.

[0010] Further, the rapping device is arranged on the upper part and / or the upper middle part and / or the middle part and / or the lower middle part and / or the lower side wall of the pressure vessel.

[0011] Further, the rapping device is a rapping motor.

[0012] Further, the metering screw device includes a variable-frequency explosion-proof motor, a speed reducer, a conveying housing, and a metering screw. The metering screw is passed through the conveying housing, and both ends of the metering screw are respectively passed through and connected to the bearing mounting seats at both ends of the conveying housing. One end of the metering screw passes through the bearing mounting seat and is connected to the variable-frequency explosion-proof motor through the speed reducer. One upper end of the conveying housing is connected to the lower end of the pressure vessel, and a conveying outlet is opened at the lower part of the other end of the conveying housing.

[0013] Further, the conveying housing is connected to the lower end of the pressure vessel through an adjustable blanking device, and the adjustable blanking device is a butterfly valve or adopts a louvered grate structure.

[0014] Further, the water-powder mixing head includes a mixing pipe, a water inlet pipe, a powder inlet pipe, and a delivery pipe. An axial access cavity is arranged in the mixing pipe. One end of the access cavity is set as a mixing cavity with a reduced inner diameter. The delivery pipe is connected to the outside of the mixing cavity. The middle part of the mixing pipe is provided with a water inlet pipe for external water supply and communicating with the access cavity. The powder inlet pipe is connected from the other end of the mixing pipe into the reduced-inner-diameter section of the mixing cavity.

[0015] Further, a positioning plate is sleeved on the powder inlet pipe. A plurality of positioning bolts are uniformly passed through the positioning plate. The positioning bolts pass through the inner end of the positioning plate and are locked and connected to the other end of the mixing pipe. The positioning bolts are pressed against the positioning plate through lock nuts on the outer side of the positioning plate.

[0016] Adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The metering screw device is adopted to realize integrated, accurate, and controllable batching. The metering screw can ensure accurate measurement and conveying of polyacrylamide fine powder, eliminate inconsistencies, and minimize waste.

[0017] 2. A closed-loop pressurization system is adopted. The closed design can prevent operators from contacting potentially harmful fine particles and prevent moisture from entering, thereby improving safety and product integrity. The polyacrylamide fine powder is transported and pressed into the metering screw device by pressurizing the pressure vessel; when the powder batching storage in any one pressure vessel is relatively low and the storage in another pressure vessel is relatively high, the external opening gate between the two can be opened, and the material in the pressure vessel with more stored material is sent into the pressure vessel with less stored material by its own weight or pressurization to meet the feeding use requirements of the pressure vessel with a large batching demand.

[0018] 3. The pressure vessel is also connected to an exhaust pipe. Periodically, after passing through the intake flowmeter, the pressurized air is heated by an electric heater on the pressurizing pipe and then sent into the pressure vessel. After drying the interior and then discharging, it can prevent moisture from entering during long-term storage or transportation, which may affect the powder properties.

[0019] 4. The feeding metering screw device at the lower end of the pressure vessel adopts a butterfly valve or a shutter grate structure, which can adjust the opening according to the demand. Combining with the vibration device arranged outside the pressure vessel, it can ensure stable and adjustable feeding while taking into account the conveying and metering requirements of the metering screw device.

[0020] 5. The water-powder mixing head is used to supply water-powder mixture to the sand mixer. Water is pumped into the access cavity through the water inlet pipe. Combining with the powder inlet pipe, polyacrylamide fine powder is sent into the mixing cavity. After mixing water and powder in the mixing cavity, it is sent out at high pressure and increased speed through the mixing cavity with a reduced inner diameter. It can meet the requirements of rapid and efficient mixing, directly introduce the powder into the subsequent mixing process, without the need for other electrical, power, valve, and flow equipment. Its structure is simple, the failure rate is low, it is stable and reliable in use, convenient for installation and use under the vehicle body, and at the same time reduces the fracturing operation costs such as the complexity of on-site equipment and the occupation of a large amount of site space.

[0021] This unloader is convenient, efficient for storage and transportation. The truck does not require a separate storage container, reducing the overall floor area and simplifying the delivery and usage processes. The unloader can efficiently feed multiple sand mixers with one truck, thus optimizing the resource utilization rate and shortening the operation time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
