[0033] Mixing device 10 includes the mixing tank that is provided with stirring device 12. Preferably, vertical stirring form is adopted, and the mixing tank is preferably vertical mixing tank 11, which is taken as an example for description hereinafter. Vertical mixing tank 11 is used for bearing mixed fracturing fluid, and the mixing condition in vertical mixing tank 11 can be observed through the observation port on vertical mixing tank 11. Stirring device 12 includes stirring blade and its driving device (such as driving motor, etc.), which is used for stirring the fracturing fluid in vertical mixing tank 11, more specifically, the mixing of slurry is realized by driving the stirring blade to rotate through the driving device.

The liquid supply manifold 35 communicates with the liquid inlet of the mixing device 10 to supply the guar gum liquid into the mixing device 10.
[0040] The mixing device 10 can mix the guar gum liquid and the proppant into the fracturing fluid, which is injected into the coal seam at high pressure, and the proppant carried in plays a supporting role in the fracture, which can ensure that the fracture does not close or does not close completely, that is, a fracture with sufficient length, width and height is formed in the coal seam, so that the gas in the coal seam can flow from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, and the gas in the coal seam can be collected in advance before the coal seam is mined, thereby reducing the probability of gas accidents and improving the safety of the coal seam.
[0041] The discharge device 20 includes a fracturing fluid inlet manifold 23, a discharge centrifugal pump 21 and a discharge manifold 24 arranged in sequence along the delivery direction of the fracturing fluid, the fracturing fluid inlet manifold 23 communicates with the mixing tank liquid supply port 15 of the mixing device 10, and the discharge manifold 24 communicates with the fracturing pumping equipment, so as to supply the mixed fracturing fluid to the fracturing pumping equipment.
[0042] Further, the discharging device 20 can further comprise a liquid inlet valve 22 and discharging valves.

The number of the discharging valves is not limited in the present application, and can be designed and selected according to the actual situation by those skilled in the art. Exemplarily, in the present embodiment, the discharging valves comprise a first discharging valve 25 and a second discharging valve 26. According to the actual site situation, the first discharging valve 25 and the second discharging valve 26 can be selectively connected to different fracturing pumping equipment. By setting different numbers of discharging valves, the coal seam fracturing fluid mixing equipment can supply fracturing fluid to fracturing pumping equipment of different numbers.

The operator can control the feeding of the proppant, etc. by controlling the electric proportional valve 34 on the operation platform 52.
[0045] The working process of the coal seam fracturing fluid mixing equipment in the present application is as follows:
[0046] The proppant conveying device 54 and the liquid inlet device 30 are used to continuously feed the material into the mixing device 10, and the mixing device 10 is continuously stirred. The discharging device 20 is connected to the mixing device 10 and the fracturing pumping equipment respectively, and the stirred fracturing fluid is continuously supplied to the fracturing pumping equipment while the mixing device 10 is stirring.
[0047] During the process, the liquid level change in the vertical mixing tank 11 can be monitored through the observation port on the vertical mixing tank 11, when the liquid level is lower than the set liquid level height range, the opening of the electric proportional valve 34 can be adjusted to increase the auger rotating speed of the proppant conveying device 54, and the amount of guar gum liquid and proppant is proportionally increased. When the liquid level rises to the set liquid level range, the opening of the electric proportional valve 34 is appropriately adjusted to decrease the auger rotating speed of the proppant conveying device 54. When the liquid level in the tank is higher than the set liquid level height range, the opening of the electric proportional valve 34 can be adjusted to decrease the auger rotating speed of the proppant conveying device 54, and the amount of guar gum liquid and proppant is proportionally decreased. When the liquid level decreases to the set liquid level range, the opening of the electric proportional valve 34 is appropriately adjusted to increase the auger rotating speed of the proppant conveying device 54. Through the above-mentioned mode, the working condition of stable liquid feeding, stable liquid level in the tank and stable discharge capacity is finally formed.
[0048] Alternatively, when the liquid level in the vertical mixing tank 11 is lower than the set liquid level height range, the rotating speed of the fracturing pumping equipment and the rotating speed of the discharge centrifugal pump 21 can be adjusted to decrease. When the liquid level rises to the set liquid level range, the rotating speed of the fracturing pumping equipment and the rotating speed of the discharge centrifugal pump 21 are appropriately adjusted to increase. When the liquid level in the tank is higher than the set liquid level height range, the rotating speed of the fracturing pumping equipment and the rotating speed of the discharge centrifugal pump 21 are adjusted to increase. When the liquid level in the tank decreases to the set liquid level range, the rotating speed of the fracturing pumping equipment and the rotating speed of the discharge centrifugal pump 21 are appropriately adjusted to decrease. Through the above-mentioned mode, the working condition of stable discharge flow, stable liquid level in the tank and stable liquid feeding is finally formed.
[0049] Obviously, the operator can also use the above-mentioned two modes for adjustment at the same time.
[0050] In summary, the guan gum liquid and the proppant can be mixed into the fracturing fluid through the setting of the liquid feeding device, the proppant conveying device and the mixing device, when the fracturing fluid is injected into the coal seam, the proppant can play a supporting role in the fracture, so that the fracture is not closed or not completely closed, and the gas in the coal seam can flow from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, the gas in the coal seam is collected in advance before the coal seam is mined, the probability of gas accident is reduced, and the safety of the coal seam is improved.
