[0002] With the increasing demand of domestic oil and gas and the rapid development of social economy, the deep well drilling technology of oil and gas is more and more mature, the drilling depth is more and more deep, and the rated working pressure of drilling equipment is more and more high.
[0003] The sand prevention effect of the conventional flat valve is poor, and fine sand can easily enter the valve cavity of the flat valve body during oil wellhead operation, affecting the normal opening and closing operation of the flat valve, and even causing the site to stop working and unable to continue operation. Therefore, a 175MPa liquid sand prevention type large-diameter fracturing valve is needed, which can be used in a pressure environment of 140MPa or above for a long time, and the liquid fracturing valve is a key equipment for shale gas high-pressure large-diameter fracturing.
[0004] Most of the traditional fracturing valves are manually operated, and with the factors of high pressure and large diameter of fracturing, the manual operation torque is large, the operation efficiency is low, and there is a safety risk, so the remote control liquid fracturing valve is gradually favored by users, but the fracturing valve needs to be repaired after a certain period of use. When the fracturing valve is disassembled and the sealing element is replaced, the fracturing valve needs to be completely disassembled, especially the liquid cylinder part needs to be completely disassembled, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the liquid replacement manual structure is complex.
[0005] The traditional sand prevention sealing device adopts a fracturing valve, and particles such as sand and mud are very easy to enter the inner cavity of the valve body of the fracturing valve during fracturing operation, causing a large amount of sediment, affecting the opening and closing and sealing performance of the fracturing valve, and there is a risk of failure, so the sand prevention fracturing valve with sand removal function is gradually favored by users.
[0006] Chinese invention patent application publication No. CN117685383A discloses a 175MPa high-pressure resistant flat valve that can be quickly opened and closed, and the top of the right valve seat and the left valve seat is fixed with a sand prevention plate, but the patent does not provide a sand removal opening and a sand removal and cleaning maintenance channel on the right valve seat and the left valve seat, which is not conducive to sand removal and cleaning during maintenance.

However, the patent does not set a sand discharge opening and a sand discharge and cleaning maintenance channel on the valve seat, which is not conducive to sand discharge and cleaning during maintenance.
[0008] The Chinese invention patent application publication No. CN116557558A discloses a 175MPa sand prevention type flat plate valve, which can avoid the direct or indirect entry of pressure sand between the valve seat and the valve plate through the cooperation of the elastic valve seat sealing and the spacer ring, block the path of direct entry of pressure sand between the valve seat and the valve plate, block the path of indirect entry of pressure sand between the valve seat and the valve plate, avoid the phenomenon of valve jamming, and meet the working condition of conveying superhigh pressure fracturing fluid. However, the patent does not set a sand discharge opening and a sand discharge and cleaning maintenance channel on the valve seat, which is not conducive to sand discharge and cleaning during maintenance.
[0009] The Chinese invention patent application publication No. CN115750819A discloses a flat plate gate valve sealing structure sealing mechanism for 175MPa superhigh pressure, which is provided with a first sealing device on the first side of the valve body and a third sealing device on the third side. By setting the first sealing device and the third sealing device on the valve seat, the sealing effect of the gate valve is improved, the medium is prevented from entering the valve cavity, the flexibility of valve opening and closing is improved, and the sealing effect is improved. However, the patent does not set a sand discharge opening and a sand discharge and cleaning maintenance channel on the valve seat, which is not conducive to sand discharge and cleaning during maintenance.
