[0024] like Figures 1-4 ;
[0025] A mixing device for fracturing fluid used in oil production includes a mixing tank 1, with support legs 11 installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 and a tank cover 12 bolted to the top of the mixing tank 1. A mixing mechanism 2 is provided on the mixing tank 1 and the tank cover 12, which can mix and clean the fracturing fluid used in oil production. A discharge mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, which can improve the discharge efficiency of the fracturing fluid.
[0026] The mixing mechanism 2 includes a support pipe 21, a mixing rod 27, a first cleaning component 25, and a second cleaning component 26. The support pipe 21 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the tank cover 12. The support pipe 21 is used not only to drive the mixing rod 27 to rotate, but also to introduce liquid ingredients into the mixing tank 1. The mixing rod 27 is mounted on the side wall of the support pipe 21 and rotates inside the mixing tank 1 to mix the fracturing fluid inside. The second cleaning component 26 is mounted on the mixing rod 27 and is used to clean the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. The first cleaning component 25 is mounted on the tank cover 12 and is used to further clean the inside of the mixing tank 1, improving the cleaning effect. The side wall of the support pipe 21 has a liquid outlet 211. After liquid ingredients are added to the support pipe 21, they flow out through the liquid outlet 211. The lower end of the support pipe 21 is open, and liquid also flows out from the lower end of the support pipe 21. The outer wall of the support pipe 21 is rotatably connected to a support... A support frame 212 is installed inside the mixing tank 1 by bolt sealing. The support frame 212 is easy to disassemble and is used to provide auxiliary support for the lower end of the support tube 21, so that the lower end of the support tube 21 can rotate stably. A liquid inlet hopper 22 is installed at the upper end of the support tube 21, through which liquid ingredients flow into the support tube 21. A feed hopper 28 is installed at the upper end of the tank cover 12, which is used to add powdered ingredients and base liquid into the mixing tank 1. A first gear 23 is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the support tube 21. A motor base 24 is also installed at the upper end of the tank cover 12. The motor base 24 is used to support and install a geared motor 241. The geared motor 241 is installed inside the motor base 24. The output end of the geared motor 241 is connected to a second gear 231. The second gear 231 meshes with the first gear 23. The geared motor 241 drives the second gear 231 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 23 to rotate, and the first gear 23 drives the support tube 21 to rotate.
[0027] Furthermore, the second cleaning component 26 includes a first connecting rod 261, a second connecting rod 262, a scraper 263, and a scraper 264. One end of the first connecting rod 261 is fixedly mounted on the mixing rod 27. The first connecting rod 261 can not only mix the fracturing fluid in the mixing tank 1, but also support and connect the second connecting rod 262. One end of the second connecting rod 262 is fixedly mounted on the scraper 263. The second connecting rod 262 is used to support and install the scraper 263. The second connecting rod 262 is easy to disassemble, so the scraper 263 can also be removed from the mixing rod. Disassembling the first connecting rod 261, the other end of the second connecting rod 262 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the mixing rod 27 and connected to the first connecting rod 261 by bolts. The scraper 263 slides against the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, which can not only mix the fracturing fluid in the mixing tank 1, but also scrape off and clean the fracturing fluid adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 after discharge. The scraper 264 is installed on the bottom side wall of the support pipe 21. The scraper 264 slides against the inclined surface at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, which can not only mix the fracturing fluid in the mixing tank 1, but also scrape off and clean the fracturing fluid adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 after discharge. The liquid scraping cleaning process involves a first cleaning component 25, which includes a first water guide pipe 251, a second water guide pipe 252, and a connector 253. The first and second water guide pipes 251 and 252 are respectively installed on the upper end of the tank cover 12. The first and second water guide pipes 251 and 252 are internally connected. Water enters the first and second water guide pipes 251 and 252 through the connector 253. The connector 253 is connected to the side wall of the first water guide pipe 251, and a first valve 254 is installed on the connector 253. The first valve 254 controls the opening and closing of the connector 253. 53 A water pump is connected to an external water pipe, and water is introduced into the first water pipe 251 through the connector 253. The water then flows into the second water pipe 252. A first high-pressure nozzle 255 is threaded on the bottom of the first water pipe 251. The water in the first water pipe 251 is sprayed into the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and onto the scraper 263 through the first high-pressure nozzle 255 for further cleaning. A second high-pressure nozzle 256 is threaded on the bottom of the second water pipe 252. The water in the second water pipe 252 is sprayed into the interior of the mixing tank 1 and onto the mixing rod 27 through the second high-pressure nozzle 256 for cleaning.
[0028] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism 3 includes a discharge pipe 31, a second valve 32, and a pump 33. The discharge pipe 31 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and the second valve 32 is installed on the discharge pipe 31. The second valve 32 controls the discharge pipe 31 to open. The pump 33 is installed below the mixing tank 1. The pump 33 is a 250ZJ-1-A60 pump manufactured by Hebei Borui Pump Industry Co., Ltd. The pump 33 is used to accelerate the discharge of fracturing fluid from the mixing tank 1. Since the structure and operating principle of the pump 33 are existing technologies, their structure and operating principle will not be described in detail here. The other end of the discharge pipe 31 is connected to the pump 33. The pump 33 draws fracturing fluid from the mixing tank 1 through the discharge pipe 31 to improve the fracturing fluid discharge efficiency.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the support pipe 21 can rotate between the tank cover 12 and the support frame 212. Powdered ingredients and base liquid are added into the mixing tank 1 through the feed hopper 28. Liquid ingredients flow into the support pipe 21 through the liquid inlet hopper 22 and then flow out through the liquid outlet 211. The lower end of the support pipe 21 is open, and liquid also flows out from the lower end of the support pipe 21. The reduction motor 241 drives the second gear 231 to rotate, the second gear 231 drives the first gear 23 to rotate, the first gear 23 drives the support pipe 21 to rotate, and finally the support pipe 21 drives the mixing rod 27 and the scraper 264 to rotate and mix. After mixing is completed, the discharge pipe 31 is opened by opening the second valve 32, and the pump 33 draws fracturing fluid from the mixing tank 1 through the discharge pipe 31. To improve the fracturing fluid discharge efficiency, the mixing rod 27 drives the scraper 263 to rotate. The scraper 263 slides against the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 to scrape off and clean the fracturing fluid adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 after discharge. The scraper 264 slides against the inclined bottom surface of the mixing tank 1 to scrape off and clean the fracturing fluid adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 after discharge. The connector 253 is connected to an external water pump through a water pipe. Finally, the first valve 254 is opened, and water enters the first water guide pipe 251 through the connector 253. The water then flows into the second water guide pipe 252. The water in the first water guide pipe 251 is sprayed into the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and the scraper 263 through the first high-pressure nozzle 255 for further cleaning. The water in the second water guide pipe 252 is sprayed into the interior of the mixing tank 1 and the mixing rod 27 through the second high-pressure nozzle 256 for cleaning.
[0030] In summary, by installing a second cleaning component inside the mixing tank, the scraper and scraper can not only be used to mix the fracturing fluid, but also to scrape off and clean the fracturing fluid adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 after discharge. By installing a first cleaning component on the top of the mixing tank, water is sprayed onto the inner wall of the mixing tank and the mixing rod by a high-pressure nozzle for further cleaning. By installing a pump at the bottom of the mixing tank, the pump draws fracturing fluid from the mixing tank through the discharge pipe, thereby improving the fracturing fluid discharge efficiency.
