[0015] Referring to the figures, the utility model specifically adopts the following implementation mode: it includes a device shell 1, a fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3 and a sand inlet pipe 2, the fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3 and the sand inlet pipe 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the device shell 1, the fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3 and the sand inlet pipe 2 are welded into an integrated pipe, and a discharge pipe 19 is arranged at the bottom of the fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3 and the sand inlet pipe 2, the integrated pipe is covered with a stirring tank 13, a guide pipe 12 is arranged on the outer wall of the stirring tank 13, a gear ring 14 is arranged in the middle of the outer wall of the stirring tank 13, a stirring tank 2 6 is arranged below the stirring tank 13, a support shaft 5 passes through the middle of the stirring tank 2 6, and a support shaft 5 is arranged to support the stirring tank 2 6. The two ends of the shaft 5 are connected to the device shell 1. A guide pipe 2 10 is provided on the outer wall of the mixing tank 2 6. A gear ring 2 9 is sleeved in the middle of the outer wall of the mixing tank 2 6. The gear rings 2 9 and 14 are meshed with the gear teeth of the main gear 8. The main gear 8 is connected to the motor 4 through the transmission shaft 7. The guide pipe 1 12 and the guide pipe 2 10 are respectively provided with a solenoid valve 1 11 and a solenoid valve 2 15. A discharge pipe 18 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 6. The discharge pipe 18 is provided with a solenoid valve 3. The solenoid valve 1 11, the solenoid valve 2 15, the solenoid valve 3 and the motor 4 are respectively connected to the external controller 16 through wires. A part of the discharge pipe 18 is fixed on the device shell 1, and the part of the discharge pipe 18 located in the device shell 1 is an elastic pipe. The guide pipe 1 12 and the guide pipe 2 10 use pipes of the same diameter. The ports of the guide pipe 1 12 and the guide pipe 2 10 match after rotating 180 degrees. Both ends of the mixing tank 1 13 and the mixing tank 2 6 are closed, and sealed bearings are installed at the connection between the mixing tank 1 13 and the mixing tank 2 6 and the integrated pipe and the support shaft 5. The transmission shaft 7 passes through the device shell 1 and is connected to the motor 4, and a sealed bearing is installed at the connection between the transmission shaft 7 and the device shell 1. Flow meters are installed on the fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3 and the sand inlet pipe 2. The outer wall of the integrated pipe located in the mixing tank 13 and the support shaft 5 located in the mixing tank 2 6 are both provided with spiral blades 17.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , is the initial state, the port of the guide pipe 1 12 faces upward, and the port of the guide pipe 2 10 faces downward. When the present integrated fracturing fluid mixing and sand mixing automatic device is used, the fracturing fluid enters the device shell 1 through the fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3, and is discharged into the mixing tank 13 through the discharge pipe 19. Fine sand particles are transported to the device shell 1 through the sand particle inlet pipe 2, and are also discharged into the mixing tank 13 through the discharge pipe 19. When the fracturing fluid and sand particles enter, the corresponding flow meter measures the entering amount, so as to achieve the purpose of perfect proportioning of the fracturing fluid and the sand particles.

[0017] The fracturing fluid and sand particles first pass through the mixing tank 13, and the fracturing fluid and sand particles are allowed to blend for a period of time. After the fracturing fluid and sand particles are blended for a period of time, the motor 4 is started through the external controller 16, and the motor 4 drives the transmission shaft 7 connected thereto to transmit, and the transmission shaft 7 drives the main gear 8 thereon to rotate, and the gear teeth of the main gear 8 are meshed with the gear teeth of the ring gear 14 and the ring gear 2 9. When the main gear 8 rotates, the mixing tank 13 and the mixing tank 2 6 rotate in opposite directions, and the rotating mixing tank 13 itself plays the role of oscillating the mixture of the fracturing fluid and the sand particles, and then stirring the mixture. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor 4 is used to achieve the initial stirring of the fracturing fluid and the sand particles. After stirring for a period of time, the motor 4 drives them to rotate 180 degrees from the initial position, referring to Figure 3 After rotating 180 degrees, the port of the material guide pipe 1 12 faces downward, and the port of the material guide pipe 2 10 faces upward. The ports of the material guide pipe 1 12 and the material guide pipe 2 10 are connected and fit together. The corresponding solenoid valve 1 11 and the solenoid valve 2 15 are controlled to open by the external controller 16, so that the mixing tank 1 13 and the mixing tank 2 6 are connected. The preliminarily stirred fracturing fluid and sand mixture in the mixing tank 1 13 completely enters the mixing tank 2 6 through the material guide pipe 1 12 and the material guide pipe 2 10, and the solenoid valve 1 11 and the solenoid valve 2 15 are controlled to close by the external controller 16, and then the mixing tank 1 13 and the mixing tank 2 6 are connected again. The fracturing fluid inlet pipe 3 and the sand inlet pipe 2 convey a new wave of fracturing fluid and fine sand into the mixing tank 13, and the motor 4 is controlled by the external controller 16 to continue to rotate, so that the mixing tank 13 and the mixing tank 2 6 rotate at the same time, and the upper and lower mixing tanks rotate back and forth together. The mixing tank 13 is used to preliminarily mix and stir the new wave of fracturing fluid and sand, and the mixing tank 2 6 is used to further stir the previous wave of fracturing fluid and sand mixture, which not only achieves the purpose of uniform mixing, but also the two mixing tanks operate at the same time, realizing the function of uninterrupted operation and meeting the use requirements.

[0018] After the stirring is completed, the external controller 16 is used to control the electromagnetic valve 3 to open, and the mixture of the fracturing fluid and sand particles in the stirring tank 2 6 is discharged through the discharge pipe 18 for subsequent use.

[0019] The design of the spiral blades 17 also plays a role in stirring the fracturing fluid and the sand particles during the rotation of the mixing tank, thereby mixing the fracturing fluid and the sand particles more evenly.

[0020] In summary, the integrated fracturing fluid mixing and sand mixing automated device is reasonably designed, safe and reliable. The simultaneous rotation of the spiral blades and the two mixing tanks improves the mixing efficiency, mixes the fracturing fluid and sand evenly, and facilitates subsequent use. The use of two mixing tanks realizes continuous operation, and uninterrupted mixing meets the use requirements.
