Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramsite proppant processing, and in particular to an adjustment mechanism for ceramsite proppant drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of oil and gas extraction, hydraulic fracturing technology is one of the key means to increase oil and gas production. Ceramsite proppant, as an indispensable material in hydraulic fracturing operations, plays an important role in opening rock fractures and maintaining oil and gas flow channels. With the continuous expansion of the scale of oil and gas resource development, the demand for ceramsite proppant is increasing day by day, and at the same time, the quality requirements for it are becoming more and more stringent.

[0003] The ceramsite proppant needs to be dried during the production process, and the quality of the drying directly affects the performance and stability of the ceramsite proppant. Therefore, an adjustment mechanism for the ceramsite proppant drying equipment is required.

[0004] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219607567U, which discloses a drying device for semi-finished ceramsite proppant, relating to the field of ceramsite proppant production technology. The device includes a proppant cylinder with a drying assembly inside. The drying assembly comprises a mounting block, a hot air blower, a support block, a gas collecting plate, a connecting pipe, a heat-conducting mechanism, and a stirring assembly. The mounting block is fixedly located at the bottom of one side of the proppant cylinder, and the hot air blower is fixedly mounted on its surface. The support block is fixedly located at the bottom of the inner wall of the proppant cylinder, and the gas collecting plate is fixedly mounted at the top of the support block. The beneficial effects of this invention are: the ceramsite proppant can flow more rapidly through several connecting grooves at the bottom of the stirring plate, resulting in more uniform heating; the airflow is accelerated with the help of the air outlet, making it easier for moisture to evaporate, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the semi-finished ceramsite proppant. Furthermore, connecting the ventilation pipe to external pipes facilitates the timely discharge of evaporated water vapor, keeping the proppant cylinder in a high-temperature, dry state.

[0005] In the above-mentioned technology, after the semi-finished ceramsite proppant material is directly added into the interior during drying, although the ceramsite proppant can be rotated by the stirring plate, it cannot be turned upside down. During drying, the heat is higher and the drying effect is better near the heat conduction plate, so the material at the bottom dries faster, resulting in uneven drying and increasing the drying time, thereby reducing production efficiency. To address this issue, an adjustment mechanism for ceramsite proppant drying equipment is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an adjusting mechanism for a ceramic proppant drying device, applied to a cylinder 1. A heat-conducting plate and a hot air blower are installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1 for drying. A servo motor 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the cylinder 1 to drive a support plate 21 to rotate. The bottom of the output shaft of the servo motor 2 is fixedly connected to the support plate 21, which drives two sets of support rods 22 to rotate. An adjusting frame 3 for controlling the feeding speed is fixedly connected to the left side of the cylinder 1. A stirring assembly for increasing the stirring effect is provided at the bottom of the support plate 21. The stirring assembly includes a support rod 22 that supports and drives a first stirring plate 23 and a second stirring plate 24 to rotate. The support rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 21. Two sets of the first stirring plate 23, which is inclined and can scoop up and flip the material, are fixedly connected to the right side of the support rod 22. The second stirring plate 24, which is inclined and can scoop up and flip the material, is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the support rod 22.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the adjusting frame 3 is fixedly connected to a feeding hopper 33 for adding ceramsite proppant semi-finished material. The top of the adjusting frame 3 is provided with an adjusting component for adjusting the feeding speed near the bottom of the feeding hopper 33. The adjusting component includes a baffle 311 that blocks the material inlet and a rotating disk 31 that drives the bevel gear 36 to rotate. A round rod 312 that supports the baffle 311 is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle 311. The round rod 312 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the adjusting frame 3 near the bottom of the feeding hopper 33.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The support rods 22 are arranged in two sets and are symmetrical about the center line of the support plate 21. Both sides of the two sets of support rods 22 are provided with a first stirring plate 23 and a second stirring plate 24. The first stirring plate 23 is inclined. By being inclined, the material can be scooped up and the bottom material can be flipped to the top, while the top material flows backward to the bottom. Thus, the material is heated and dried evenly by flipping. The second stirring plate 24 is inclined and can flip the material at the bottom of the support plate 21.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top front of the adjusting frame 3 is fixedly connected to a support frame 34 that supports the rotating disk 31. The rotating disk 31 passes through and is rotatably connected to the front surface of the support frame 34. The rear surface of the rotating disk 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 34, which drives the first bevel gear 35 to rotate. The rear bottom end of the second bevel gear 36 meshes with the first bevel gear 35, which drives the threaded rod 38 to rotate. The bottom end of the first bevel gear 35 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 38, which is threadedly connected to the guide block 39 and thus drives the guide block 39 to move. The threaded rod 38 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the front inner wall of the adjusting frame 3 near the support frame 34. The threaded rod 38 passes through and is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support frame 34.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The threaded part of the outer wall of the threaded rod 38 is threadedly connected to a guide block 39 that drives the guide frame 310 to move. The rear surface of the guide block 39 is fixedly connected to a guide frame 310 that drives the guide rod 37 to move downward and drives the baffle 311 to rotate and open, and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 310. The guide frame 310 and the guide block 39 are slidably connected to the front inner wall of the adjustment frame 3 near the rear of the threaded rod 38. The inner wall of the adjustment frame 3 is provided with a groove for the guide block 39 and the guide frame 310 to move. The bottom end of the front inner wall of the adjustment frame 3 near the rear of the threaded rod 38 is set as an inclined surface. By setting it as an inclined surface, the material can slide down without getting stuck at the bottom end of the groove.

[0037] Furthermore, a guide rod 37 is fixedly connected to the right front surface of the baffle 311, which drives the baffle 311 to rotate and open. The guide rod 37 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 310. The front part of the round rod 312 passes through and is rotatably connected to the front surface of the adjustment frame 3. The front end of the round rod 312 is fixedly connected to a marking plate 32 near the front surface of the adjustment frame 3. The marking plate 32 can be used to determine the opening size of the baffle 311. The marking plate 32 rotates synchronously with the baffle 311. The bottom inner wall of the adjustment frame 3 is set to be inclined and connected to the cylinder 1. The inclined shape allows the material to slide down to the inner wall of the cylinder 1.

[0038] Working principle: During use, rotating the rotating disk 31 drives the second bevel gear 36 to rotate and mesh with the first bevel gear 35. Simultaneously, this drives the first bevel gear 35 and the threaded rod 38 to rotate. The threaded rod 38 is threadedly connected to the guide block 39, causing the guide block 39 to move downwards. The guide block 39 then drives the guide frame 310 downwards, simultaneously causing the guide rod 37 to move downwards and slide against the inner wall of the guide frame 310. The guide rod 37, along with the baffle 311 and the round rod 312, rotate around the center of the round rod 312, thus driving the guide rod... 37. The baffle 311 and the round rod 312 rotate to open the baffle 311. By setting two sets of baffles 311, the opening size of the two sets of baffles 311 can be adjusted simultaneously. The rotation of the round rod 312 drives the marking plate 32 to rotate. The marking plate 32 is used to determine the opening size. Thus, the opening size of the two sets of baffles 311 can be accurately controlled according to actual production needs, thereby adjusting the feeding speed. This allows the material entering the drying equipment to be added in an orderly manner, increasing the efficiency and stability of the drying process, and further improving production quality and efficiency.

[0039] By starting the servo motor 2, the support plate 21 is driven to rotate. The support plate 21 drives the two sets of support rods 22 to rotate, and at the same time, the stirring plates 23 and 24 connected to the left and right sides of the two sets of support rods 22 rotate simultaneously. Since both stirring plates 23 and 24 are set to be inclined, during the rotation of stirring plates 23 and 24, the material at the bottom is scooped up along the inclined surface, allowing the material that was originally at the bottom to move to the upper space. At the same time, the material at the top is moved to the bottom by the inclined surface. This can turn over the ceramic proppant material accumulated inside the drying equipment, thereby ensuring that the material is heated evenly and thus improving production efficiency.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
