[0028] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of new valve body assembly and oil and gas field fracturing construction plunger pump, it can adapt to high working pressure and collision frequency, while it can realize the life of valve body assembly increase.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present application are described in more detail below. Figures 1-4 The technical solutions of the present application are described in more detail below.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the plunger pump is a key component in the fracturing equipment, which opens the formation by pumping high-pressure fracturing medium to realize oil and gas production. The plunger pump provides power through the power end, drives the plunger 3 to move at high speed, and then pushes the fracturing medium in the plunger pump liquid end valve box (liquid end pump head 4) to realize pumping. The valve body assembly 2 and the valve seat 1 are key components of the fracturing medium suction channel 5 and the discharge channel 6. During the continuous suction and discharge of the fracturing medium, the valve body assembly 2 is opened and closed at high speed. The valve body assembly 2 with the valve rubber is in high-speed reciprocating collision with the valve seat 1 during high-speed movement. This collision causes the service life of the valve body assembly 2 to be extremely low, and the valve body assembly 2 becomes a consumable and needs to be replaced frequently.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] In view of the above problems, as shown in the figure, the present application provides a new valve body assembly 2, which comprises a valve body assembly 2 and a rubber piece 22, wherein: the valve body assembly 2 comprises a matching part for contacting with the valve seat 1, the matching part is provided with a clamping groove 23, and the rubber piece 22 is sleeved in the clamping groove 23; the contact area of the rubber piece 22 with the valve seat 1 is in the numerical range of 1 / 3-1 compared with the contact area of the matching part with the valve seat 1, as shown in the figure; or, the contact area of the matching part with the valve seat 1 is in the numerical range of 1 / 3-1 compared with the contact area of the rubber piece 22 with the valve seat 1, as shown in the figure. Figures 1-4 Figure 2 Figure 3

[0033] In the prior art, the contact area ratio of the valve body 21 and the valve rubber to the valve seat 1 is basically 50%:50%, which is difficult to improve the service life of the valve body assembly 2.

[0034] The new valve body assembly 2 of the present application sleeves the rubber piece 22 in the clamping groove 23 to prevent the rubber from separating from the valve body 21, and changes the contact area ratio of the valve body 21 and the valve rubber to the valve seat 1 in the valve body assembly 2, which can adapt to high working pressure and collision frequency, and at the same time, can realize the service life increase of the valve body assembly 2. The new valve body assembly 2 is suitable for the plunger 3 pump in oil and gas field fracturing construction. At the same time, it is also suitable for the plunger 3 pump in cementing construction and acidification construction.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, referring to Figures 2-4 ​​​As shown, the mating part in this embodiment includes an inclined surface 211, which is inclined relative to the axis of the valve body 21. The inclined surface 211 is used to contact the working surface of the valve seat 1.

[0036] The above structure can ensure the contact area between the valve body 21 and the valve seat 1, thereby improving the sealing performance between the two.

[0037] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, a portion of the rubber part 22 protrudes from the slot 23. The rubber part 22 includes a compression portion 221. The compression portion 221 and the rest of the rubber part 22 are located on opposite sides of the inclined surface 211. The compression portion 221 can undergo elastic deformation when it collides and is compressed with the working surface of the valve seat 1, thereby sealing and engaging with the valve seat 1.

[0038] The extrusion part 221 is not coplanar with the inclined surface 211 of the valve body 21. The extrusion part 221 and the rest of the rubber part 22 are located on opposite sides of the inclined surface 211. With this arrangement, when the valve body assembly 2 and the valve seat 1 collide with each other, the extrusion part 221 is squeezed by the valve seat 1 and can undergo elastic deformation. It is compressed by the valve seat 1, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the valve body assembly 2 and the valve seat 1.

[0039] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the extrusion section 221 includes a conical structure, the narrow end of which is used to collide and extrude with the valve seat 1.

[0040] This design facilitates elastic deformation of the extrusion section 221, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the valve assembly 2 and the valve seat 1.

[0041] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, a groove 231 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 23. The groove 231 is recessed in the direction away from the inner wall of the slot 23. The groove 231 contacts the rubber part 22 to increase the friction.

[0042] See Figure 3 As shown, the above-described structure of the slot 23 and the rubber part 22 can further prevent the rubber part 22 from shifting or detaching within the slot 23, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the rubber part 22 and the valve body 21.

[0043] As an optional implementation, see Figure 2 As shown, the contact area between the rubber part 22 and the valve seat 1 is 66.6% to 33.4% of the contact area between the mating part and the valve seat 1.

[0044] The valve assembly 2 reduces the contact area of the valve 21 with the valve seat 1 and increases the contact area of the rubber part 22 with the valve seat 1, so that the valve assembly 2 has high sealing performance and long service life in a high-pressure environment.

[0045] Through actual production and on-site testing, it is found that in a high-pressure environment (i.e., the Sichuan and Chongqing shale gas block), the structure of the preferred embodiment 1 is implemented, and the service life of the new valve assembly 2 can reach 10-12 segments (i.e., 20-24 hours), which is at least 20% longer than the service life of 6-8 segments (i.e., 12-16 hours) of the conventional valve assembly.

[0046] The principle of the embodiment is that when the working pressure of the valve assembly 2 is higher, the frequency of the reciprocating motion of the plunger is higher, the proportion of the contact area of the rubber part 22 with the valve seat 1 is increased, the overall weight is lighter, the impact force is relatively smaller, the buffering force of the rubber part 22 is better, and the valve assembly 1 and the valve seat are protected.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the contact area of the rubber part 22 with the valve seat 1: the contact area of the matching part with the valve seat 1 = 33.4%: 66.6%.

[0049] The new valve assembly 2 has the structure that the proportion of the rubber part 22 and the valve 21 is changed, the sealing performance is improved, and the service life of the valve assembly 2 is improved.

[0050] In a low-pressure environment (the Shanxi coal seam gas block), the new valve assembly 2 of the embodiment 2 is preferred, and the service life can reach 30-40 segments (i.e., 60-80 hours), which is at least 25% longer than the service life of 20-24 segments of the conventional valve assembly.

[0051] The principle of the embodiment is that when the working pressure of the valve assembly 2 is low, the frequency of the reciprocating motion of the plunger is low, the proportion of the contact area of the valve 21 with the valve seat 1 is increased, the overall weight is heavier, the impact force is relatively larger, and a better sealing effect is achieved.

[0052] The new valve assembly 2 is applied to oil and gas field fracturing operations, increases the service life of the valve assembly, improves the user experience, and achieves the preset purpose.

[0053] Embodiment 3

[0054] The embodiment provides a plunger pump for oil and gas field fracturing construction, which comprises a valve seat 1 and the new valve assembly 2.

[0055] The plunger pump for oil and gas field fracturing construction of the embodiment has the above-mentioned new type valve body assembly 2, and the service life of the valve body assembly 2 is increased by changing the proportion of the valve body 21 and the rubber piece 22 and the contact surface of the valve seat 1, thereby meeting the demand of the oil field fracturing for the long service life valve body assembly 2.

[0056] In the description of the specification, a specific feature, structure or characteristic can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
