Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fracturing fluid supply switching technology, specifically a drilling fracturing fluid supply switching device. Background Technology

[0002] In the exploration and extraction of resources such as oil and natural gas, well fracturing is a commonly used technical method. Well fracturing involves injecting high-pressure liquids or gases to create fractures in the rock, thereby increasing the permeability and production capacity of oil and gas. A well fracturing fluid supply switching device is a key piece of equipment used in oil and gas field fracturing operations, which is used to quickly switch between different fluid supply sources to ensure the continuity and efficiency of fracturing operations.

[0003] In existing fracturing fluid supply switching devices, different fracturing fluids all enter the subsequent supply through the same pipeline, inevitably leading to mixing between different fracturing fluids, which affects the supply effect. Furthermore, in existing technologies, fracturing fluid flows in the pipeline for a long time, and residual sand adheres to the inner wall of the pipeline, which is not easy to clean and affects the flow rate of the pipeline. To address these issues, we propose a drilling fracturing fluid supply switching device. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment, a drilling fracturing fluid supply switching device includes an installation pipe 1 and a pump body 2.

An installation rod 10 is fixedly installed inside the fixed pipe 8, and a telescopic rod 11 is slidably installed inside the installation rod 10. A piston rod 12 is slidably installed inside the telescopic rod 11. A fixing frame 17 is fixedly installed inside the fixing tube 8. A sliding plug 19 is slidably sleeved on the fixing frame 17. Two sets of symmetrically distributed springs 18 are fixedly sleeved on the fixing frame 17. The two ends of the springs 18 are fixedly connected to the sliding plug 19 and the fixing frame 17, respectively. A retaining ring 20 is fixedly installed inside the fixing tube 8. The sliding plug 19 is movably engaged with the retaining ring 20. The water tank 9 is located between the piston rod 12 and the sliding plug 19. A screw rod 13 is rotatably installed inside the mounting rod 10. A screw tube 15 is rotatably installed inside the telescopic rod 11. The right end of the screw rod 13 passes through the telescopic rod 11 and is threadedly connected to the telescopic rod 11. The right end of the screw tube 15 passes through the piston rod 12 and is threadedly connected to the piston rod 12. Two sets of symmetrically distributed keys are provided on the screw rod 13. The spiral tube 15 is provided with two sets of symmetrically distributed key blocks 16, which are correspondingly arranged with the keyway 14. The spiral tube 15 is slidably connected to the screw 13 through the key blocks 16. When the fracturing fluid switching gap is adjusted, the three sets of rotary valves 6 are closed, and the motor in the mounting rod 10 is started to drive the screw 13 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the mounting rod 10, the telescopic rod 11 slides. Under the limiting action of the key blocks 16 and the keyway 14, the spiral tube 15, which slides with the telescopic rod 11, also rotates synchronously with the screw 13. Therefore, under the limiting action of the telescopic rod 11, the piston rod 12 slides in the fixed tube 8, pushing the cleaning water from the water tank 9 into the fixed tube 8 to the right end of the fixed tube 8, squeezing the sliding plug 19. After the sliding plug 19 moves away from the retaining ring 20, the cleaning water enters the mounting tube 1 to flush and clean the fracturing fluid remaining in the mounting tube 1.

[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, an installation ring 21 is rotatably installed inside the installation tube 1, and a scraper rod 22 is fixedly installed on the installation ring 21. The scraper rod 22 is fitted against the inner wall of the installation tube 1. A first toothed ring 25 is sleeved on the installation ring 21. A first gear 26 is rotatably installed inside the installation tube 1, and the first gear 26 meshes with the first toothed ring 25. A scraper block 23 is slidably sleeved on the scraper rod 22. A lead screw 24 is rotatably installed inside the scraper rod 22, and the lead screw 24 passes through the scraper block 23 and is threadedly connected to the scraper block 23. A rotating ring 27 is rotatably installed inside the discharge tube 7, and a second toothed ring 28 is sleeved on the rotating ring 27. Multiple sets of annularly distributed closed plates 29 are rotatably installed inside the discharge tube 7. The multiple sets of closed plates 29 are rotatably connected to the discharge tube 7 through an installation shaft 30. A second gear 31 is sleeved on the installation shaft 30. The second gear 31 is meshed with the second gear ring 28. The motor on the synchronous installation pipe 1 starts and drives the first gear 26 to rotate. In conjunction with the first gear ring 25, the installation ring 21 drives the scraper 22 to rotate on the installation pipe 1. The scraper 22 cleans the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the installation pipe 1. The motor in the synchronous scraper 22 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the scraper 22, the scraper block 23 slides on the scraper 22 to clean the impurities remaining on the scraper 22. The installation pipe 1 is set at a slight inclination. With the flushing of cleaning water, with the pump body 2 and the rotary valve 6 closed, the impurities and water flow into the discharge pipe 7. The motor in the discharge pipe 7 drives the installation shaft 30 to rotate. In conjunction with the second gear 31 and the second gear ring 28, multiple sets of closing plates 29 open synchronously to complete the discharge of impurities and cleaning water, which facilitates the switching of different fracturing fluids.

[0024] This utility model provides a drilling fracturing fluid supply switching device. The specific working principle is as follows: The installation pipe 1 is connected to different fracturing fluid supply tanks via the connecting pipe 5. Through the cooperation between the pump body 2 and the rotary valve 6, different fracturing fluids enter the installation pipe 1 according to the actual fluid supply requirements. During the fracturing fluid switching interval, the three sets of rotary valves 6 are closed. The motor in the installation rod 10 drives the screw 13 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the installation rod 10, the telescopic rod 11 slides. Under the limiting action of the key block 16 and the keyway 14, the screw tube 15, which slides with the telescopic rod 11, also rotates synchronously with the screw 13. Therefore, under the limiting action of the telescopic rod 11, the piston rod 12 slides in the fixed pipe 8, pushing the clean water entering the fixed pipe 8 from the water tank 9 towards the right end of the fixed pipe 8, squeezing the sliding plug 19. After the sliding plug 19 moves away from the retaining ring 20, clean water enters... The installation pipe 1 is flushed and cleaned of residual fracturing fluid. Simultaneously, the motor on the installation pipe 1 starts and drives the first gear 26 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the first toothed ring 25, causes the installation ring 21 to drive the scraper 22 to rotate on the installation pipe 1. The scraper 22 cleans the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the installation pipe 1. Simultaneously, the motor in the scraper 22 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the scraper 22, the scraper block 23 slides on the scraper 22 to clean the residual impurities on the scraper 22. The installation pipe 1 is set at a slight inclination. With the flushing of cleaning water, and with the pump body 2 and rotary valve 6 both closed, the impurities and water flow into the discharge pipe 7. The motor in the discharge pipe 7 drives the installation shaft 30 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the second gear 31 and the second toothed ring 28, causes multiple sets of closing plates 29 to open simultaneously, completing the discharge of impurities and cleaning water, facilitating the switching of different fracturing fluids.
