Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air classifier technology, specifically to an air volume regulating device for an air classifier. Background Technology
[0002] Proppants are commonly used in hydraulic fracturing operations during oil and gas extraction. They increase oil and gas production by keeping rock fractures open. Air classifiers play a crucial role in the production and processing of proppant. They precisely classify the particle size of proppant, ensuring the product meets specific particle size distribution requirements. Air classifiers remove substandard particles, improving the overall quality of the proppant. This includes removing excessively fine or coarse particles, as well as defective or unevenly distributed particles.
[0003] The air volume of the air classifier directly affects its classification efficiency and product quality. By adjusting the air volume, the particle size distribution of the proppant can be controlled. Currently used air classifiers have difficulty controlling the air volume, and the air volume of the air classifier is difficult to adjust steplessly, resulting in a small controllable range of the particle size of the air classifier.
[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN222469805U discloses an airflow regulating device for a classifier, including a housing and an regulating component. The upper opening of the housing is sealed by a transparent cover plate, and both ends of the housing are connected to connecting pipes. The regulating component includes a fixed cylinder, a rotating cylinder, and a screw. The fixed cylinder is a cylindrical body with an outer circle and an inner square. The two ends of the fixed cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower inner surfaces of the housing. A sliding hole is provided on the peripheral wall of the fixed cylinder. The rotating cylinder is circumferentially slidably fitted around the fixed cylinder. An inclined sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder. A baffle plate is connected to the front and rear ends of the peripheral wall of the rotating cylinder. A movable block is provided inside the fixed cylinder. A drive rod is provided on the side of the movable block. The free end of the drive rod passes through the sliding hole and extends into the sliding groove. The screw is threadedly connected to the movable block. The lower end of the screw is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the housing, and the upper end passes through the cover plate. This utility model solves the problem that the airflow of the classifier is difficult to adjust steplessly when classifying proppant powder.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: Addressing the issue that relying on a single baffle to control airflow has low accuracy and cannot meet high-precision requirements, this example provides an airflow regulating device for a classifier. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 The embodiment provides an airflow regulating device for a classifier, which can precisely control the size of the air outlet by moving the baffles closer or further apart along the internal guide rail of the guide disc two. This airflow regulating device for a classifier includes a first ventilation pipe 1, a second ventilation pipe 101, and a flange 102. The second ventilation pipe 101 is installed at the right end of the first ventilation pipe 1, and the flange 102 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first ventilation pipe 1 and the right end of the second ventilation pipe 101. The airflow regulating device is provided at the right end of the first ventilation pipe 1.
[0025] The airflow regulating device includes a motor 4, a fixed plate 401, a guide plate 402, a gear ring 403, a baffle 404, a connecting shaft 405, a gear 406, a connecting frame 407, and a second guide plate 408. The motor 4 is mounted on one side of the fixed plate 401, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ventilation duct 1. The first guide plate 402 is mounted on one side of the second guide plate 408 and rotatably connected to the outer surface of the right end of the ventilation duct 1. The gear ring 403 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first guide plate 402. The baffle 404 is mounted on the right side of the first guide plate 402. The connecting shaft 405 is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle 404 and slidably connected to the internal slide rail of the first guide plate 402. The gear 406 is connected to the output end of the motor 4. The connecting bracket 407 is fixedly connected to the left side of the guide plate 408 and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ventilation pipe 1. The guide plate 408 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the left end of the ventilation pipe 101. The connecting shaft 405 is fixedly connected to the two ends of the limiting block and the length of the connecting shaft 405 is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the guide plate 402, the baffle plate 404 and the guide plate 408. The fixing plate 401 has a threaded hole on one side. The motor 4 is connected to the fixing plate 401 by bolt thread through the threaded hole. The outer surface of the ventilation pipe 1 and the ventilation pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the sealing groove 2. The front and rear sides of the sealing groove 2 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 201. The connecting surface of the two sealing grooves 2 has a groove and a sealing ring 202 is fixedly connected to the groove.
[0026] In this embodiment, the motor 4 drives the gear 406 and the gear ring 403 to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate 402 to rotate and the connecting shaft 405 to move. This causes the wind deflector 404 to move closer or further away from each other along the internal guide rail of the guide plate 408, thus controlling the size of the air vent with high precision. The two ventilation pipes are connected by fixing the two mounting plates 201 with bolts, making installation and removal more convenient. The sealing ring 202 can improve air tightness and reduce wind loss.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figures 1-4It can filter dust and impurities in the air to prevent contamination of raw materials during powder selection.

A sliding groove is fixedly connected inside the filter box 3. A filter plate 303 is slidably connected inside the filter box 3 through the sliding groove. A connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected above the filter plate 303. A limit frame 301 is fixedly connected above the filter box 3. A limit rod 304 is rotatably connected above the connecting plate 302. The limit rod 304 matches the inside of the limit frame 301.
[0028] In this embodiment, the filter plate 303 can filter dust and impurities in the air to prevent contamination of raw materials during powder selection. The limit rod 304 is rotated to lock into the limit frame 301 to limit the filter plate 303 and prevent the filter plate 303 from falling out of the filter box 3.
[0029] Working principle: The motor 4 drives the gear 406 and gear ring 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide plate 402 to rotate and the connecting shaft 405 to move. This causes the baffle plate 404 to move closer or further away from each other along the internal guide rail of the guide plate 408, controlling the size of the air outlet with high precision. The two ventilation pipes are connected by fixing the two mounting plates 201 with bolts, making installation and removal more convenient. The sealing ring 202 can improve airtightness and reduce wind loss. The filter plate 303 can filter dust and impurities in the air to prevent contamination of raw materials during powder selection. Rotating the limit rod 304 makes it lock into the limit frame 301 to limit the filter plate 303 and prevent the filter plate 303 from falling out of the filter box 3.
