Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lubrication system device, a control method and a fracturing truck for a new energy vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of new energy petroleum equipment. Background Art

[0002] Fracturing trucks are specialized equipment used in oil and gas extraction and downhole operations. Currently, their lubrication system primarily uses a gear pump driven by the transmission to continuously lubricate the bearings and gears within the power end of the plunger pump using pressure oil. The gear pump draws lubricating oil from the oil tank through an oil suction filter, pumping it through pipelines to the power end, where it lubricates the rolling bearings and connecting rod sliding bearings via internal lubrication oil passages. If the gear oil temperature is too low, the viscosity is too high, and the fluidity is poor, insufficient lubrication can occur. If the gear oil temperature rises, the viscosity decreases, or the filter becomes clogged, the plunger pump's lubricating oil pressure can drop. This low oil pressure can lead to poor lubrication, dry grinding, and even damage to the plunger pump.

[0003] Existing fracturing trucks use engine-driven transmission shifting to adjust the plunger pump output flow. Transmission shifting doesn't allow for continuous adjustment of the plunger pump flow and can impact wellhead pressure. Furthermore, the transmission is imported, resulting in high costs. The vehicle's cooling system, which includes the engine water radiator, hydraulic oil radiator, and lubricating oil radiator, is integrated into a single, large-diameter fan, creating high noise levels. Each heat dissipation function cannot be individually controlled and precisely managed. The plunger pump lubrication system is powered by the transmission, which in turn is powered by the engine. At low engine speeds, the lubrication system's cooling and heating cycles are slow, and the circulation speed cannot be adjusted based on lubricating oil temperature to achieve rapid cooling or heating. Summary of the Invention
