Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding device technology, and more specifically, to a material feeding device in the fracturing construction process. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of fracturing, the design and application of material feeding devices are of great significance for improving work efficiency and ensuring construction quality. To ensure that various materials in the fracturing process can be fed in accordance with the set ratio and sequence, the material feeding device must have high efficiency, accuracy and reliability.
[0003] Most existing material feeding devices have a fixed height, which is not convenient to adjust according to the needs of use and can easily affect the fracturing effect of materials. At the same time, the discharge port angle of some devices is fixed, which is not convenient to adjust according to the needs of use and affects the efficiency of construction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a material feeding device in the fracturing process, which can adjust the height and the feeding angle so as to make the material evenly dispersed in the fracturing fluid.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to construct a material feeding device in the fracturing construction process, including a device base, fixed columns fixed on both sides of the top of the device base, and a movable column slidably inserted in the fixed column, a rack embedded in the movable column, an L-shaped plate opened on the front of the fixed column, and a gear slidably inserted in the L-shaped plate, the gear being connected to a motor, and the gear meshing with the rack.
[0006] The top of the movable column is fixed with a fixing plate, and the top of the fixing plate is fixed with a connecting column. The top of the connecting column is fixed with a placement plate, and a feeding plate is hinged to one side of the placement plate. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting column, and an L-shaped column is slidably inserted into the sliding groove. The L-shaped column is located above the fixing plate. An electric push rod is installed on the back of the L-shaped column. A connecting block is hinged to one side of the L-shaped column, and the end of the connecting block away from the L-shaped column is fixedly connected to one end of the placement plate.
[0007] In the above scheme, a round rod is rotatably inserted into the gear, and one side of the round rod is connected to the motor.
[0008] In the above scheme, the gears are provided in two sets, and the two sets of gears are symmetrically fixed on the round rod.
[0009] In the above scheme, the rack is provided in two sets, and the two sets of racks mesh with two sets of gears respectively.
[0010] In the above scheme, two sets of L-shaped columns and connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged.
[0011] The material feeding device for fracturing operations according to this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This utility model can achieve the purpose of adjusting the usage height, allowing the material to be evenly dispersed in the fracturing fluid, reducing local concentrations that are too high or too low, reducing the aggregation of material particles, thereby improving the fracturing effect, making the material more evenly distributed in the fracturing fluid, enhancing the fluidity and permeability of the fracturing fluid, and also helping to maintain a stable injection speed and pressure, reducing downtime caused by unstable injection devices, and improving overall construction efficiency.
[0013] 2. This utility model optimizes the flow direction of materials by allowing for easy adjustment of the feeding angle, enabling them to enter the fracturing fluid more smoothly. This improves the uniformity and fluidity of the materials, reduces sedimentation inside the device or pipelines, and allows the materials to be transported to the target location more effectively. It also facilitates more precise control of the amount and speed of material addition, contributing to more refined material management and enhancing construction results. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a material feeding device for fracturing operations, including a device base 1 with fixed columns 5 fixed on both sides of the top end, and a movable column 6 slidably inserted in the fixed column 5. A rack 10 is embedded in the movable column 6. An L-shaped plate 11 is opened on the front of the fixed column 5, and a gear 3 is slidably inserted in the L-shaped plate 11. A round rod 2 is rotatably inserted in the gear 3, and a motor 4 is installed on one side of the round rod 2. Two sets of gears 3 are provided, and the two sets of gears 3 are symmetrically fixed on the surface of the round rod 2. Two sets of racks 10 are provided, and the two sets of racks 10 are respectively meshed with the two sets of gears 3.
[0023] In the above embodiment, the entire device is powered by an external power source. The operator starts the device by pressing the fixed column 5. When the operating height needs to be increased, the motor 4 is started. The output end of the motor 4 drives the round rod 2 to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the round rod 2 drives the two sets of gears 3 to rotate simultaneously in the L-shaped plate 11, which then drives the meshing rack 10 to move upward. The movement of the rack 10 drives the moving column 6 to move upward in the fixed column 5, and finally pushes the fixed plate 7 to the operating position. When the operating height needs to be lowered, the same principle applies: the motor 4 drives the round rod 2 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0024] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on the same concept as the above embodiment, this embodiment further proposes: a fixing plate 7 is fixed to the top of the movable column 6, and a connecting column 15 is fixed to the top of the fixing plate 7. A placement plate 8 is fixed to the top of the connecting column 15, and a feeding plate 9 is hinged to one side of the placement plate 8. Sliding grooves 16 are provided on both sides of the connecting column 15, and L-shaped columns 13 are slidably inserted into the sliding grooves 16. An electric push rod 12 is installed on the back of the L-shaped column 13, and a connecting block 14 is hinged to one side of the L-shaped column 13. Two sets of L-shaped columns 13 are symmetrically arranged, and one end of the L-shaped column 13 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 16. The top of the L-shaped column 13 is movably connected to the top of the fixing plate 7. Two sets of connecting blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged, and the ends of the two sets of connecting blocks 14 away from the L-shaped column 13 are fixedly connected to one end of the placement plate 8.
[0025] In the above embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the material feeding angle downward, the two sets of electric push rods 12 are activated. The piston end of the electric push rod 12 retracts, causing the L-shaped column 13 to move backward. Then, one end of the L-shaped column 13 slides in the slide groove 16. The movement of the L-shaped column 13 causes the hinged connecting block 14 to change its angle. Finally, the angle change of the connecting block 14 causes the feeding plate 9 to rotate clockwise downward in the placement plate 8. The material flows out of the feeding plate 9 in the placement plate 8. When it is necessary to adjust the feeding plate 9 upward, the piston end of the electric push rod 12 is extended in the opposite direction.
[0026] The motor 4 and electric push rod 12 used in this application are products that can be purchased directly from the market. The motor 4 has the functions of self-locking and forward and reverse rotation. Its principle and connection method are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0027] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
