Abstract

Fracturing equipment includes: a plunger pump, a main motor and a noise reduction device. The plunger pump is used for pressurizing liquid. The main motor is connected to the plunger pump by transmission for providing driving force to the plunger pump. The noise reduction device is constructed as a cabin structure and covers outside the main motor and isolates the main motor from the plunger pump. With the fracturing equipment according to the present disclosure, the fracturing equipment is driven by the main motor with relatively low noise during operation. The noise reduction device isolates the main motor from the outside, which can effectively reduce the noise intensity transmitted to the outside during operation, thereby achieve the effect of noise reduction. In addition, the plunger pump is isolated from the main motor by the noise reduction device, thus realizing isolation of high-pressure dangerous areas and ensuring safe operation.

Claims (39)

1. Fracturing equipment, comprising:

a plunger pump for pressurizing liquid;

a main motor connected to the plunger pump by a transmission and configured to provide a driving force to the plunger pump;

an oil tank containing lubricating oil;

a lubrication driving device for driving the lubricating oil from the oil tank to the plunger pump to lubricate the plunger pump, wherein the lubrication driving device includes a lubrication pump and a lubrication motor; and

a primary exhaust silencer connected with an exhaust port of a cooling fan configured to cool the main motor, wherein the exhaust port of the cooling fan is connected to the primary exhaust silencer via a soft connection, and wherein a flow area of an airflow passage in the soft connection gradually increases along an airflow direction.

2. The fracturing equipment according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cooler having a fan being configured to dissipate heat from the lubricating oil by air blast cooling; and

a cooler motor connected to the cooler and configured to provide the driving force to the cooler;

wherein, the cooler and the cooler motor are arranged inside a noise reduction device.

3. The fracturing equipment according to claim 2 , wherein the cooler is arranged above the main motor, and a top of the noise reduction device is provided with a cooler window at a position corresponding to the cooler.

4. The fracturing equipment according to claim 2 , wherein the cooler is configured as a cuboid and comprises at least two fans arranged along a length of the cuboid.

5. The fracturing equipment according to claim 2 , wherein at least one side of the noise reduction device is provided with at least one air inlet.

6. The fracturing equipment according to claim 2 , wherein a wall of the noise reduction device is constructed as a sandwich structure filled with a noise reduction material.

7. The fracturing equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling fan is configured to cool the main motor through air suction cooling.

8. The fracturing equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the primary exhaust silencer is arranged inside a noise reduction device.

9. The fracturing equipment according to claim 8 , further comprising a secondary exhaust silencer which is provided on the noise reduction device and corresponds to an exhaust port of the primary exhaust silencer.

10. The fracturing equipment according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the main motor is wrapped with a noise reduction material.

11. Fracturing equipment, comprising:

a plunger pump for pressurizing liquid;

a main motor connected to the plunger pump by a transmission and configured to provide a driving force to the plunger pump;

an oil tank containing lubricating oil;

a lubrication driving device for driving the lubricating oil from the oil tank to the plunger pump to lubricate the plunger pump, wherein the lubrication driving device includes a lubrication pump and a lubrication motor;

a cooler having a fan and configured to dissipate heat from the lubricating oil;

a cooler motor connected to the cooler and configured to provide the driving force to the cooler; and

a primary exhaust silencer connected with an exhaust port of a cooling fan configured to cool the main motor, wherein the exhaust port of the cooling fan is connected to the primary exhaust silencer via a soft connection, and wherein a flow area of an airflow passage in the soft connection gradually increases along an airflow direction.

12. The fracturing equipment according to claim 11 , wherein a cabin covers the lubrication pump or the lubrication motor.

13. The fracturing equipment according to claim 12 , wherein a top of the cabin is provided with a cooler window.

14. The fracturing equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the cooler comprises at least two fans.

15. Fracturing equipment, comprising:

a plunger pump for pressurizing liquid;

a main motor connected to the plunger pump by a transmission and configured to provide a driving force to the plunger pump;

a cooling fan configured to cool the main motor; and

a primary exhaust silencer connected with an exhaust port of the cooling fan, wherein the exhaust port of the cooling fan is connected to the primary exhaust silencer via a soft connection, and wherein a flow area of an airflow passage in the soft connection gradually increases along an airflow direction.

16. The fracturing equipment according to claim 15 , wherein the cooling fan is configured to cool the main motor through air suction cooling.

17. The fracturing equipment according to claim 15 , further comprising:

a cooler having a fan and configured to dissipate heat from lubricating oil by air blast cooling; and

a cooler motor connected to the cooler and configured to provide the driving force to the cooler;

wherein, the cooler and the cooler motor are arranged inside a noise reduction device.
