Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fracturing pump technology, and in particular to a hydraulic end structure of a fracturing pump with a magnetic locking component. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of oil and gas extraction, fracturing pumps are devices that use plungers to reciprocate in a cylinder to pressurize liquids. They are characterized by compact structure, high pressure, and high efficiency. The hydraulic end refers to all parts and components of the fracturing pump that come into contact with the transported medium. Existing suction end covers are generally fixed by threaded connections or retaining rings.

[0003] However, when the fracturing pump operates under high frequency and large pressure fluctuation conditions for a long time, the suction end cover may become loose due to vibration and impact. During operation, the end cover may easily shift or fall off, causing the valve seat to fail to seal reliably. This can lead to internal leakage and pressure loss at the hydraulic end, and in severe cases, it can cause the suction end cover to pop out and liquid to spray out, resulting in safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic end structure for a fracturing pump with a magnetic locking component, which solves the problem that when the fracturing pump operates under high-frequency and high-pressure fluctuation conditions for a long time, the suction end cover will loosen due to vibration and impact, and the end cover is prone to displacement or falling off during operation. This leads to unreliable sealing of the valve seat, causing internal leakage and pressure loss in the hydraulic end, and in severe cases, it can cause safety accidents such as suction end cover popping out and liquid jetting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a hydraulic end structure for a fracturing pump with a magnetic locking assembly, comprising a hydraulic end valve box, a discharge valve assembly, a suction valve assembly, a plunger, a sealing ring, a locking nut, a suction end cover, a suction end cover retaining ring, a magnetic locking assembly, a discharge end cover, a discharge valve retaining ring, and a discharge end cover retaining ring.

The base is embedded in the suction end cap retaining ring, the spring-loaded plunger is movably disposed on the base and movably connected to the suction end cap, and the cylindrical permanent magnet is embedded in the base.

[0007] The discharge valve assembly includes a discharge valve body and a discharge valve seat. The discharge valve seat is connected to the hydraulic end valve box and is located in the first channel. The discharge valve body is connected to the discharge valve seat.

[0008] The suction valve assembly includes a suction valve body and a suction valve seat. The suction valve seat is connected to the hydraulic end valve box and is located in the second channel. The suction valve body is connected to the suction valve seat.

[0009] The hydraulic end structure of the fracturing pump with magnetic locking assembly also includes a discharge end cover sealing ring, which is connected to the suction end cover and sleeved on the outside of the suction end cover.

[0010] This utility model discloses a hydraulic end structure for a fracturing pump with a magnetic locking assembly. The first and second channels are vertical within the hydraulic end valve box, while the third and fourth channels are horizontal, forming a cross shape. The discharge valve assembly and the suction valve assembly are placed on the vertical channels, with the discharge valve assembly above and the suction valve assembly below. The discharge valve retaining ring is embedded in the discharge end cap and placed above the discharge valve assembly.
