DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, a turbine fracturing equipment, including a transporter 2, a turbine engine 5, a reduction gearbox 6, a transmission mechanism 7 and a plunger pump 8, wherein the turbine engine 5 is the power source for the power transmission system of the whole equipment, an output end of the turbine engine 5 is connected to one end of the reduction gearbox 6, the other end of the reduction gearbox 6 is connected to the plunger pump 8 through the transmission mechanism 7; the transporter 2 is used to support the turbine engine 5, the reduction gearbox 6, the transmission mechanism 7 and the plunger pump 8; the transporter 2 includes a chassis provided with a transport section, a bearing section and a lapping section which are connected in sequence; while the turbine fracturing equipment is in working state, the bearing section of the chassis can contact with the ground, while the turbine fracturing equipment is in transport state, the bearing section of the chassis does not contact with the ground. The chassis is further provided with components such as battery wires, a fuel tank, a lubricating oil tank, a hydraulic oil tank and the like, providing oil and support for the up-loading components such as the turbine engine 5, the reduction gearbox 6, the plunger pump 8 and the like. The reduction gearbox 6 is used to slow down and increase the torque of the power output of the turbine engine 5, and then drives the plunger pump 8 to work through the transmission mechanism 7.

[0031] The transporter 2 includes wheels and axles, the wheels are disposed at both ends of the axles, the axles are connected to the chassis, and the number of the axles is 3 or above, to ensure an adequate bearing capacity.

[0032] The axles are disposed at the transport section of the chassis.

[0033] While the turbine fracturing equipment is in working state, the bottom of the bearing section of the chassis is at the same level as the bottom of the wheels. The bottom itself of the bearing section is a horizontal surface 12 plus a slope surface 13, while in working state, the horizontal surface 12 at the bottom of the bearing section fully contact with the ground, increasing the stability of the equipment in operations. The slope surface 13 allows the raised chassis to be lifted off the ground for easy walking when the turbine fracturing equipment is in transport state.

[0034] While the turbine fracturing equipment is in transport state, the lapping section assists in transporting the transporter 2 under the action of external towing force.

[0035] The bottom of the lapping section is provided with a bevel 10 which is provided with a bulge 11. While the turbine fracturing equipment is in transport state, the bevel 10 can be used in conjunction with external towing equipment, the bulge 11 assists in fixing the transporter 2 and preventing the transporter 2 from separating from the external towing equipment. The external towing equipment may be a tractor 9 and the like, and the bulge may be a traction pin.

[0036] The turbine engine 5 is provided with an exhaust system on an opposite side of the reduction gearbox 6. The exhaust system includes an exhaust silencer 3 and an exhaust duct 4, the exhaust silencer 3 is connected to an exhaust port of the turbine engine 5 through the exhaust duct 4. The exhaust duct 4 is used to direct the exhaust of the turbine engine 5 into the exhaust silencer 3, which can reduce the noise of the exhaust.

[0037] The exhaust system, the turbine engine 5, the reduction gearbox 6, the transmission mechanism 7 and the plunger pump 8 are disposed in a straight line along the transmission direction of power. The linear connection of the turbine engine 5, the reduction gearbox 6, the transmission mechanism 7 and the plunger pump 8 along the transmission direction of power can avoid excessive transmission loss, thus ensuring efficient transmission performance. The turbine engine 5 itself has the advantages of small volume, light weight and high power density. For the same size and weight, the unit-power of a turbine fracturing equipment is more than twice that of conventional diesel fracturing equipment. The turbine engine 5 can be fueled by 100% natural gas directly, greatly reducing the use cost compared with the diesel consumption in diesel drive and the investment on gas generator sets of electric drive fracturing equipment. Of course, the turbine engine 5 can also use 100% fuel oil as the fuel, preferably natural gas, which can reduce more fuel costs than fuel oil. Meanwhile, the turbine fracturing equipment are usually operated with the plunger pump 8 drived one-to-one, unlike in electric drive fracturing equipment, a single high-power gas generator set is used to drive multiple plunger pumps. That is to say, a turbine fracturing equipment is employed to distribute the failure risk of a single high-power gas generator onto each turbine fracturing equipment, avoiding that the failure of a single gas generating equipment causes the risk of breakdown of the whole set of fracturing equipment.

[0038] The transmission mechanism 7 is a transmission shaft or a coupling.

[0039] A hydraulic power unit 1 is disposed on a gooseneck of the semi-trailer body, the hydraulic power unit 1 is used to drive the hydraulic system on the turbine fracturing semi-trailer. The hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor, various valves, a hydraulic oil tank, a hydraulic oil radiator, and the like, (the hydraulic system is mainly used to drive the fuel pump of the turbine engine 5, the starting motor of the turbine engine 5, the lubrication system at the power end of the plunger pump 8, the lubrication system of the reduction gearbox 6, and various oil radiators, and the like).

[0040] The hydraulic power unit 1 is driven by a diesel engine or driven by an electric motor.

[0041] A cooling system is disposed on a gooseneck of the semi-trailer body, the cooling system cools the oil used on the turbine fracturing semi-trailer. The oil used includes the engine oil for the turbine engine 5, hydraulic oil, the lubricating oil for the plunger pump 8, the lubricating oil for the reduction gearbox 6, and the like.

[0042] The power of the plunger pump 8 is 5000 hp or above, the higher the power of the plunger pump 8 is, the more suitable for lone-time and high-load continuous operation conditions.
