Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shale gas extraction technology, specifically to a shale gas fracturing wellhead device. Background Technology
[0002] Fracturing, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is a method used in oil or gas production to create fractures in oil and gas reservoirs using hydraulic force.

They are merely used to distinguish protective components or operations described using the same technical terms, and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, the technical solutions and features of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0042] Example 1:
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-2A shale gas fracturing wellhead device includes a main pipeline 1 and a bypass pipeline 2. The bypass pipeline 2 is located on one side of the main pipeline 1 and is connected to the main pipeline 1. A safety component 3 is provided on the bypass pipeline 2. The safety component 3 includes an outer shell 4. One end of the outer shell 4 is connected to the main pipeline 1. A sealing groove 5 is provided inside the outer shell 4. A first sealing block 6 is provided on the side of the sealing groove 5 away from the main pipeline 1. A top mounting bracket 7 is provided on one side of the first sealing block 6. A first spring 8 is provided between the first sealing block 6 and the top mounting bracket 7.
[0044] A maintenance channel 15 is provided on one side of the first sealing block 6;

[0046] A second sealing gasket 11 is provided on the first sealing block 6;
[0047] The first sealing gasket 10 and the second sealing gasket 11 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0048] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows:
[0049] This application sets up a bypass pipe 2 and a safety component 3 on the bypass pipe 2. When the pressure in the fracturing well is too high, the excessive pressure will be released through the bypass pipe 2 to prevent the continuous excessive pressure from acting on the fracturing device and causing damage to the fracturing device. The excessive pressure pushes the first sealing block 6 and squeezes the first spring 8, causing the first sealing block 6 to be separated from the sealing groove 5, thereby releasing the pressure. When the pressure is below the upper limit, the pressure cannot open the sealing groove 5 and the first sealing block 6, so that the fracturing operation in the fracturing well can be carried out stably.

A trigger block 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the trigger rod 31 located outside the cleaning shell 22. A second spring 32 is provided between the trigger block 33 and the cleaning shell 22.

A first torsion spring 36 is provided on the rotating shaft 34, and the two ends of the first torsion spring 36 are respectively fixedly connected to the cleaning shell 22 and the cleaning head 35.
[0056] One end of the second pull rope 37 is fixedly wound on the rotating shaft 34, and the other end of the second pull rope 37 is fixedly connected to the trigger rod 31.
[0057] The first sealing block 6 is provided with a storage groove 30.
[0058] A bottom mounting bracket 12 is provided inside the outer casing 4. A sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom mounting bracket 12. A first rotating ring 16 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 13. An impeller 14 is fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 16. A sliding rod 23 is movably connected inside the sleeve 13. The sliding rod 23 is fixedly connected to the second sealing block 24.
[0059] A plurality of insertion tubes 38 are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring sleeve 16. Insertion rods 39 are inserted into the insertion tubes 38. A fourth spring is connected between the end of the insertion rods 39 and the insertion tubes 38. The insertion rods 39 are fixedly connected to the second rotating ring sleeve 25.
[0060] A sliding ring 29 is rotatably connected to the second rotating ring 25, and the sliding ring 29 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 23.
[0061] A first moving rod 9 is fixedly connected to the second sealing block 24. The first moving rod 9 is slidably connected to the top mounting bracket 7. The first spring 8 is sleeved on the first moving rod 9.
[0062] The first sealing block 6 is provided with a toothed disc 20, which meshes with a gear 19. The gear 19 is connected to a first rotating rod 18, and a ratchet assembly 40 that enables the gear 19 to rotate in one direction is provided between the first rotating rod 18 and the gear 19. The first rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to a mounting rod 17, and the mounting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the second sealing block 24.
[0063] A second torsion spring 41 is provided on the first rotating rod 18, and the two ends of the second torsion spring 41 are fixedly connected to the mounting rod 17 and the first rotating rod 18 respectively.
[0064] One end of the first pull rope 21 is fixedly wound on the first rotating rod 18, and the other end of the first pull rope 21 is fixedly connected to the top mounting bracket 7.
[0065] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows:
[0066] When excessive pressure is released, the liquid pushes the first sealing block 6 away from the sealing groove 5. The liquid flows out from the gap between the sealing groove 5 and the first sealing block 6, reducing the pressure in the fracturing well. When the first sealing block 6 moves away from the sealing groove 5, it will drive the sliding ring 29 and the second rotating ring 25 to move through the second sealing block 24 and the sliding rod 23. The cleaning shell 22 is separated from the receiving groove 30, which drives the support rod 26 to push the cleaning shell 22 until the trigger block 33 contacts the inner wall of the outer shell 4 and continues to squeeze. The trigger rod 31 retracts into the cleaning shell 22 and pulls the second pull rope 37 so that the cleaning head 35 overcomes the resistance of the first torsion spring 36 and moves out and contacts the first sealing gasket 10. When the liquid flows through the impeller 14, it will drive the impeller 14 to rotate, which will then drive the second rotating ring 25 to rotate through the insertion tube 38 and the insertion rod 39. The rotation of the second rotating ring 25 will drive the cleaning shell 22 to rotate through the support rod 26, that is, the cleaning head 35 will rotate and continuously sweep the surface of the first sealing gasket 10 to keep the surface of the first sealing gasket 10 clean.
[0067] As the first sealing block 6 moves away from the sealing groove 5, the first pull rope 21 is wound onto the first rotating rod 18 under the action of the second torsion spring 41. During this process, the first rotating rod 18 rotates while the gear 19 remains stationary due to the action of the ratchet assembly 40. After the pressure is released, the first sealing block 6 approaches the sealing groove 5, the first pull rope 21 extends, causing the first rotating rod 18 to rotate and drive the gear 19 to rotate, thereby causing the first sealing block 6 to rotate. The relative position between the second sealing gasket 11 on the first sealing block 6 and the first sealing gasket 10 on the sealing groove 5 changes, avoiding the problem of the second sealing gasket 11 not being able to seal tightly with the first sealing gasket 10 due to different wear levels caused by different liquid flow settings in the maintenance channel 15.
[0068] Example 3:
[0069] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 Based on embodiments 1-2, the main pipe 1 and the bypass pipe 2 are both fixed to the pipe to be connected 42 by fixing components. The main pipe 1 and the bypass pipe 2 are each provided with a first fixing plate 43, and the pipe to be connected 42 is provided with a second fixing plate 44.
[0070] A rotating shaft 46 is fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 43. A rotating mounting block 47 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 46. A handle 45 is rotatably connected to the rotating mounting block 47. A second rotating rod 48 is rotatably connected to the handle 45. A locking piece 49 is bolted to the second rotating rod 48.
[0071] The handle 45 is provided with a limiting rod 50, which is located on one side of the rotating shaft 46. The rotating shaft 46 is provided with a hole corresponding to the limiting rod 50.
[0072] A sealing gasket is provided between the first fixing plate 43 and the second fixing plate 44.
[0073] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows:
[0074] When connecting the pipe to be connected 42 to the main pipe 1 and the bypass pipe 2, the first fixing plate 43 and the second fixing plate 44 are attached together, and the handle 45 is rotated so that the locking piece 49 is engaged with the surface of the second fixing plate 44. The handle 45 is rotated again to return the handle 45 to its original position, and the limiting rod 50 is inserted into the hole on the rotating shaft 46 to limit the rotation of the handle 45. This completes the connection of the pipe to be connected 42 to the main pipe 1 and the bypass pipe 2, which is convenient and quick.
