[0013] 1. The utility model relates to a drying device for preparing ceramsite proppants. By arranging a tension spring, a drying box body, a fixed column, a touch block, a return spring and a thermal insulation layer, the drying box body can store the ceramsite proppants, and the ceramsite proppants are put into the interior of the drying box body through a feeding hopper. As the vibration motor is started, the vibration seat and the drying chamber are driven to vibrate.

The resistance wire is a nickel-chromium alloy. When current passes through the resistance wire, heat is generated. When the resistance wire is working, the temperature inside the drying chamber gradually increases, thereby achieving the effect of drying the ceramsite proppants in the drying box. When the movable block moves at one end of the fixed column, it will apply pressure to the reset spring. The reset spring will be compressed and deformed when it is subjected to force, and will return to its initial state when it is not subjected to force, thereby driving the touch block to move back and forth.

[0021] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution for a drying device for preparing ceramsite proppants:

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a drying device for preparing ceramsite proppant comprises a vibration base 1, a drying chamber 2 and a vibration motor 3. The drying chamber 2 is arranged on the top of the vibration base 1, the vibration motor 3 is arranged on one side of the vibration base 1, and a reinforcement base 4 is arranged at the bottom of the vibration base 1. Two support plates 7 are arranged inside the drying chamber 2, and one side of each of the two support plates 7 is provided with a tension spring 8. A drying box body 9 is arranged inside the drying chamber 2, and two fixed columns 11 are arranged inside the drying chamber 2. One end of each of the two fixed columns 11 is provided with a moving block 12, and the top of each of the two moving blocks 12 is provided with a touch block 13. A resistance wire 15 is arranged inside the drying chamber 2. When the drying chamber 2 vibrates, the moving block 12 can move left and right at one end of the fixed column 11. The touch block 13 installed on its top will apply an upward force to the bottom of the drying box body 9 during this process, thereby further increasing the vibration amplitude of the drying box body 9, so that the ceramsite proppant vibrates in a wider range inside the drying box body 9.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, one end of the two tension springs 8 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the drying box body 9, the bottom ends of the two touch blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the top ends of the two moving blocks 12, and the interior of the drying chamber 2 is provided with a thermal insulation layer 16. The tops of several spring shock absorbers 5 are respectively connected to the bottom of the vibration seat 1. The utility model provides a drying device for preparing ceramsite proppants. By providing a support plate 7, a moving block 12, a filter 10 and a feeding hopper 6, the filter 10 can screen the particulate matter mixed between the ceramsite proppants. The thermal insulation layer 16 is made of glass fiber and has good heat insulation and sound insulation effects. The resistance wire 15 is a nickel-chromium alloy, and heat is generated when current passes through the resistance wire 15.

[0026] Working principle: Ceramic proppant is a proppant used in oil and gas extraction, mainly used in fracturing operations. The production of ceramic proppant involves a drying process to remove moisture and solidify its structure. The drying device includes a vibration dryer, which vibrates to make the ceramic proppant shake evenly in the drying chamber 2 to improve the drying efficiency. The vibration dryer is equipped with a heating system, an air flow system, an exhaust system and a control system. The heating system provides the necessary heat, including electric heating, which is the resistance wire 15. The vibration motor 3 is provided to provide vibration movement. Several spring shock absorbers 5 are provided between the vibration seat 1 and the reinforcement seat 4 to play a buffering effect. The drying box body 9 can store the ceramic proppant and put the ceramic proppant into the interior of the drying box body 9 through the feeding hopper 6. As the vibration motor 3 is started, the vibration seat 1 and the drying chamber 2 are driven to vibrate. The drying box body 9 will shake inside the drying chamber 2 under the connection of two tension springs 8, which increases the ceramic proppant. The shaking amplitude of the support agent improves the drying efficiency. When the drying chamber 2 vibrates, the moving block 12 can move left and right at one end of the fixed column 11. The touch block 13 installed on the top will exert an upward force on the bottom of the drying box body 9 during this process, thereby further increasing the vibration amplitude of the drying box body 9, so that the ceramsite support agent vibrates in a wider range inside the drying box body 9. The filter 10 can screen the particulate matter mixed between the ceramsite support agents. The thermal insulation layer 16 is made of glass fiber and has good heat insulation and sound insulation effects. The resistance wire 15 is a nickel-chromium alloy. When current passes through the resistance wire 15, heat is generated. When the resistance wire 15 is working, the internal temperature of the drying chamber 2 gradually increases, thereby achieving the drying effect of the ceramsite support agent in the drying box body 9. When the moving block 12 moves at one end of the fixed column 11, it will apply pressure to the return spring 14. The return spring 14 can be compressed and deformed when it is under force, and will return to its initial state when it is not under force, thereby driving the touch block 13 to move back and forth.
