In the ball type fracturing sliding sleeve, the contact surface between the ball socket and the fracturing ball is the most vulnerable part to failure. Once the contact surface fails, the sealing of the fracturing sliding sleeve will fail, the fracturing fluid will leak, and finally the fracturing will fail. The contact condition between the ball socket and the fracturing ball is mainly determined by the cone angle of the ball socket. In order to improve the contact condition between the ball socket and the fracturing ball as much as possible, and extend the service life of the sliding sleeve, based on fluid erosion and finite element structural analysis, this paper has carried out the analysis of the cone angle of the fracturing sliding sleeve. Firstly, the erosion of the ball seat is analyzed, and the erosion rate of the ball seat under different cone angles is obtained. The conclusion is that the erosion rate of the ball seat is proportional to the cone angle of the ball seat. Combined with the working conditions of the ball socket fracturing, the finite element analysis of the ball socket structure is carried out, and the stress conditions of different cone angles are compared. Finally, combined with the erosion rule and force analysis of the ball socket, the optimal cone angle of the ball socket is 20 °. When the cone angle of the ball socket is 20 °, the force of the ball socket meets the strength requirements of the ball socket, and can obtain a higher service life.
