DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, a discharging device for proppant granulation comprises a discharge barrel 1 and a shell 2; the two ends of the discharge barrel 1 are open, a plurality of air holes 3 are evenly distributed on the peripheral wall of the discharge barrel 1, a plurality of elastic sheets 4 corresponding to the air holes 3 are arranged on the outer wall of the discharge barrel 1, the upper end of the elastic sheet 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge barrel 1 on the upper side of the corresponding air holes 3, and the lower part covers the corresponding air holes 3, the air holes 3 are circular holes penetrating the inner and outer walls of the discharge barrel 1, the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the discharge barrel 1 are sleeved and fixed with connecting rings 5, the connecting ring 5 is a rectangular annular body with an inner ring fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge barrel 1, and the shell 2 is a rectangular cylinder with two ends open, The shell 2 is sleeved on the outside of the two connecting rings 5 ​​and is detachably connected to the two connecting rings 5. The left and right parts of the peripheral wall of the shell 2 are provided with air holes 6. The outer wall of the shell 2 is provided with elastic sheets 7 corresponding to the air holes 6. The upper end of the elastic sheet 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 2 on the upper side of the corresponding air holes 6, and the lower part covers the corresponding air holes 6. A screen 8 is provided in the air holes 6, and the air holes 6 are circular holes that penetrate the inner and outer walls of the shell 2; the space between the shell 2 and the discharge barrel 1 is a collecting chamber, and a driving member is provided in the lower part of the collecting chamber, and the driving member drives the gas in the discharge barrel 1 to enter the collecting chamber through the air holes 3, and then discharge the gas from the collecting chamber through the air holes 6.

[0023] The discharge barrel 1 is a barrel with a round inner side and a square outer side. The elastic sheet 1 4 and the elastic sheet 2 7 are both made of polyethylene material and are elastic rectangular sheets.

[0024] The upper end of the peripheral wall of the shell 2 is penetrated by multiple bolts 9, and the end of each bolt 9 extends into and is threadedly connected to the connecting ring 5 on the upper side; the lower end of the peripheral wall of the shell 2 is penetrated by multiple bolts 10, and the end of each bolt 10 extends into and is threadedly connected to the connecting ring 5 on the lower side.

[0025] The front and rear parts of the outer wall of the lower barrel 1 between the two connecting rings 5 ​​are connected with partitions 11, and the partitions 11 are rectangular plates; the upper and lower ends of the partitions 11 are fixedly connected to the two connecting rings 5 ​​respectively, and the opposite ends of the two partitions 11 are in contact with the shell 2.

[0026] The driving member includes a movable plate 12 and a pull rope 13. The movable plate 12 is a C-shaped plate body. The two movable plates 12 slide up and down and are stuck outside the left and right parts of the unloading barrel 1. The ends of the two movable plates 12 both slide in contact with the partition 11 on the same side, and the outer side surfaces of the two movable plates 12 slide in contact with the inner surface of the shell 2; a hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixed to the left part of the top surface of the lower connecting ring 5, and the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is connected to the left movable plate 12, and a spring 15 is connected between the right movable plate 12 and the lower connecting ring 5. One end of the pull rope 13 is connected to the bottom front of the left movable plate 12, and the other end moves through the front partition 11 to connect to the bottom front of the right movable plate 12.

[0027] When the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the left movable plate 12 to move downward to the limit state, the spring 15 is in a natural state, the right movable plate 12 moves upward to the limit state and is lower than the elastic sheet 4 at the lower end, and the right movable plate is higher than the left movable plate; when the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the left movable plate 12 to move upward to the limit state, the left movable plate 12 is lower than the elastic sheet 4 at the lower end.

[0028] The upper end of the lower barrel 1 is connected with a connecting pipe 16 , and the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 16 is equal to the inner diameter of the lower barrel 1 .

[0029] A bearing column 17 is provided in the middle of the discharge barrel 1 . The bearing column 17 is a cylinder. A spiral guide plate 18 is fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the bearing column 17 . The outer end of the guide plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge barrel 1 .

[0030] The utility model is connected to the discharge port of the granulation device through the connecting pipe 16, and is arranged vertically; when in use, in the initial state, the spring 15 is in a natural state, and the movable plate 12 on the right is higher than the movable plate 12 on the left; the proppant after the granulation of the granulation device is completed enters the discharge barrel 1 through the connecting pipe 16, and because the guide plate 18 in the discharge barrel 1 is spiral, the proppant moves downward along the guide plate 18, which can extend the time for the proppant to move in the discharge barrel 1; at the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 14 is started, and the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the movable plate 12 on the left The plate 12 moves upward, and when the movable plate 12 on the left moves upward, the movable plate 12 on the right moves downward through the pull rope 13, and the spring 15 is compressed. When the movable plate 12 on the left moves upward, the gas in the collecting chamber on the left side of the partition 11 is squeezed, and the elastic sheet 27 is pressed outward, and the elastic sheet 27 is bent, and the pore 26 on the left side of the shell 2 is opened, while the elastic sheet 14 on the left side of the partition 11 is arranged in the collecting chamber, and the elastic sheet 14 is squeezed and does not deform, and the pore 13 is still blocked, and the gas in the collecting chamber on the left side of the partition 11 passes through the pore 27 on the left side. 6 is discharged from the collecting chamber; when the movable plate 12 on the right side moves downward, the air pressure in the collecting chamber on the right side of the partition 11 decreases, and the gas in the lower barrel 1 will press the elastic sheet 1 on the right side of the partition 11, causing the elastic sheet 14 to deform, and the air hole 13 on the right side of the partition 11 opens, while the elastic sheet 27 is located outside the shell 2. When the air pressure in the collecting chamber on the right side of the partition 11 decreases, the elastic sheet 27 will not deform. Therefore, the gas in the lower barrel 1 will carry the powder mixed in the proppant into the collecting chamber on the right side of the partition 11 through the air hole 13 on the right side of the partition 11. When the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the movable plate 12 on the left to move downward, the movable plate 12 on the right moves upward under the restoring force of the spring 15, and the gas in the discharge barrel will carry the powder mixed in the proppant into the collecting chamber on the left side of the partition 11 through the air hole 13 on the left side of the partition 11. When the right movable plate 12 moves upward, the gas in the collecting chamber on the right side of the partition 11 is driven to be discharged through the air hole 2 6 on the right side. Since the screen 8 is provided on the air hole 2 6, only the gas can pass through, and the powder in the collecting chamber on the right side of the partition 11 will still be retained in the collecting chamber;

[0031] Therefore, when the granulated proppant is discharged through the discharge barrel 1, the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the two movable plates 12 to reciprocate up and down, which can drive the powder in the discharge barrel 1 into the collection chamber. Since the proppant is heavier than the powder, it is less affected by the gas, so the powder and the granulated proppant can be separated, and the powder can be collected.

[0032] The shell 2 can be disassembled to collect the powder in the collection chamber for reuse.

[0033] The preferred implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Without violating the spirit of the present invention, i.e., the disclosure scope, any equivalent or equivalent deformation or replacement of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
