Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline operation equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Water pipe engineering is divided into two types: outdoor pipe installation and indoor pipe installation. Outdoor water supply pipe refers to the pipe installation project from the water supply gate outside the building to the water meter well, while indoor water supply pipe refers to the water supply pipe installation inside the building.

[0003] Nowadays, pipelines are generally equipped with multiple valves to enable the opening and closing of certain areas. These valves are usually controlled by an external power source or manually. Manual valve control is inconvenient, while external power supply requires the pre-installation of long electrical wires to power valves in different areas, which increases the installation steps and workload. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the current deficiency that pipelines cannot independently provide power to valves by providing a pipeline self-powered operation device.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: a pipeline self-generating power supply device, including a pipeline body, a butterfly valve installed on the inner wall of the pipeline body, a power mechanism connected to the outer wall of the pipeline body, a receiving mechanism installed on the inner wall of the pipeline body, an adjusting mechanism installed on the receiving mechanism, and a sealing mechanism installed inside the receiving mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a connecting pipe, a generator, a battery, a differential pressure shut-off valve, a maintenance valve, and a support rod. The connecting pipe is fixedly connected to and communicates with the outer wall of the pipeline body. One end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the generator, and the other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the maintenance valve. The support rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe, and the battery is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod. The differential pressure shut-off valve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe, and a controller is installed and fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the battery.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting pipe is U-shaped, and the butterfly valve is located between the two ends of the connecting pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the storage mechanism includes a storage box, a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic rod, and a placement groove. The placement groove is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pipe body. The placement groove is located between the butterfly valve and the generator. A through hole is opened on the outer wall of the placement groove. The through hole communicates with the storage box. The outer wall of the storage box is fixedly connected to the pipe body. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box. A hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed plate, a motor, a first through hole, a turntable, a second through hole, a rotating shaft, and sensors. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic rod, and the turntable is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate. Both the fixed plate and the turntable are located in a placement slot. The motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the turntable. The outer wall of the fixed plate has four first through holes arranged in a circumferential array, and the outer wall of the turntable has four second through holes arranged in a circumferential array. Sensors are provided on the outer walls of both the turntable and the fixed plate. The first and second through holes are both arc-shaped, and the included angle of the first through hole and the included angle of the center of the second through hole are both 45°.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes an arc-shaped groove, an electric push rod, and a sealing cover. The outer wall of the placement groove is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped groove. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to the sealing cover, and the outer wall of the sealing cover is in contact with the arc-shaped groove.

[0011] Preferably, the electric push rod, motor, sensor, butterfly valve and differential pressure shut-off valve are all electrically connected to the battery, the battery is electrically connected to the generator, and the battery is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] Preferably, the combined thickness of the turntable and the fixed plate is equal to the inner thickness of the storage box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1) Water enters from the main pipe body, flowing from the generator towards the maintenance valve. Simultaneously, water flows into the connecting pipe, driving the generator to generate electricity, which is stored in the battery. The battery powers the butterfly valve and differential pressure shut-off valve. A controller controls the battery to power the butterfly valve. When the butterfly valve closes, the differential pressure shut-off valve detects the pressure difference and closes, preventing further flow in the main pipe body and shutting off the maintenance valve, thus blocking water flow in the connecting pipe for easier maintenance.

[0014] 2) Activate the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder, through the hydraulic rod, pushes the adjusting mechanism from the storage box into the placement slot. The controller controls the rotation amplitude of the motor, causing the motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the turntable to rotate, thereby adjusting the overlap area between the second and first through holes. This achieves the effect of controlling the flow rate of water in the pipeline body, thus regulating the flow rate of water flowing into the connecting pipe, increasing the generator's power output, and quickly charging the battery. This is useful in situations where the pipeline body is shut down due to maintenance, resulting in insufficient battery power. Using two sensors, when the sensor on the turntable detects the sensor on the fixed plate, it indicates that the first and second through holes are completely aligned. This allows the turntable to move the second through hole back to its original position, facilitating the next adjustment of the turntable angle. When the adjusting mechanism is no longer needed, simply activate the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic rod retracts the fixed plate into the storage box, thus retracting the entire adjusting mechanism into the storage box to avoid interfering with the water flow in the pipeline body.

[0015] 3) After the adjustment mechanism is retracted into the storage box, the controller hole electric push rod pushes the cover into the through hole to isolate the storage box from the pipe body, so that the water flow is always inside the pipe body and prevents water from entering the storage box.

[0019] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Reference Appendix Figure 1-8 The pipeline self-generating power supply device includes a pipeline body 1, a butterfly valve 2 installed on the inner wall of the pipeline body 1, a power mechanism 3 connected to the outer wall of the pipeline body 1, a storage mechanism 4 installed on the inner wall of the pipeline body 1, an adjustment mechanism 5 installed on the storage mechanism 4, and a sealing mechanism 6 installed inside the storage mechanism 4. The electric push rod 602, motor 502, sensor 507, butterfly valve 2 and differential pressure shut-off valve 304 are all electrically connected to the storage battery 303. The storage battery 303 is electrically connected to the generator 302 and the controller.

[0021] Reference Appendix Figure 1-4The power mechanism 3 includes a connecting pipe 301, a generator 302, a battery 303, a differential pressure shut-off valve 304, a maintenance valve 305, and a support rod 306. The connecting pipe 301 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the outer wall of the pipeline body 1. The generator 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 301, and the maintenance valve 305 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 301. The support rod 306 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 301, and the battery 303 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod 306. The differential pressure shut-off valve 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 301. A controller is installed and fixed on the outer wall of the battery 303. The connecting pipe 301 is U-shaped, and the butterfly valve 2 is located between the two ends of the connecting pipe 301.

[0022] Water enters from the main pipe 1 and flows from the generator 302 to the maintenance valve 305. Simultaneously, water flows into the connecting pipe 301, driving the generator 302 to generate electricity, which is stored in the battery 303. The battery 303 powers the butterfly valve 2 and the differential pressure shut-off valve 304. A controller controls the battery 303 to power the butterfly valve 2. When the butterfly valve 2 is closed, the differential pressure shut-off valve 304 detects the pressure difference and closes, preventing further flow in the main pipe 1 and closing the maintenance valve 305 to block water flow in the connecting pipe 301, facilitating maintenance of any issues within the connecting pipe 301.

[0023] Reference Appendix Figure 5-6 The storage mechanism 4 includes a storage box 401, a hydraulic cylinder 402, a hydraulic rod 403, and a placement groove 404. The placement groove 404 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pipe body 1. The placement groove 404 is located between the butterfly valve 2 and the generator 302. A through hole is opened on the outer wall of the placement groove 404, which communicates with the storage box 401. The outer wall of the storage box 401 is fixedly connected to the pipe body 1. The hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 401. The hydraulic rod 403 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 402.

[0024] Reference Appendix Figure 2-7The adjusting mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 501, a motor 502, a first through hole 503, a turntable 504, a second through hole 505, a rotating shaft 506, and a sensor 507. The fixed plate 501 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic rod 403, and the turntable 504 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 501. Both the fixed plate 501 and the turntable 504 are located in the placement slot 404. The motor 502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 501, and the rotating shaft 506 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 502. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 506 is fixedly connected to the turntable 504. The fixed plate 501 has four first through holes 503 arranged in a circular array on its outer wall, and the turntable 504 has four second through holes 505 arranged in a circular array on its outer wall. Sensors 507 are provided on the outer walls of both the turntable 504 and the fixed plate 501. The first through holes 503 and the second through holes 505 are both arc-shaped. The included angle of the first through hole 503 and the included angle of the center of the second through hole 505 are both 45°. The sum of the thicknesses of the turntable 504 and the fixed plate 501 is equal to the inner thickness of the storage box 401.

[0025] Hydraulic cylinder 402 is activated, and via hydraulic rod 403, it pushes adjusting mechanism 5 into storage box 401 and into placement slot 404. The controller controls the rotation amplitude of motor 502, causing motor 502 to drive rotating shaft 506, which in turn drives turntable 504 to rotate. This adjusts the overlap area between second through hole 505 and first through hole 503, thereby controlling the flow rate of water within pipe body 1. By utilizing turntable 504 located at the junction of connecting pipe 301 and pipe body 1, obstructed water flow is directed towards one end of connecting pipe 301, thus regulating the flow rate of water entering connecting pipe 301. This increases the power generation of generator 302 and enables rapid storage. The battery 303 is used to charge the pipe body 1 to address the situation where the water supply is interrupted due to maintenance, resulting in insufficient power in the battery 303. Two sensors 507 are used. When the sensor 507 on the turntable 504 senses the sensor 507 on the fixed plate 501, it indicates that the first through hole 503 and the second through hole 505 are completely aligned. This is used to move the turntable 504 and the second through hole 505 back to their original position, making it convenient to adjust the angle of the turntable 504 next time. When the adjustment mechanism 5 is no longer needed, only the hydraulic cylinder 402 needs to be activated. The hydraulic rod 403 will retract the fixed plate 501 into the storage box 401, so that the entire adjustment mechanism 5 is retracted into the storage box 401 to avoid interfering with the water flow of the pipe body 1.

[0026] Reference Appendix Figure 5-8 The sealing mechanism 6 includes an arc-shaped groove 601, an electric push rod 602, and a sealing cover 603. The outer wall of the placement groove 404 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 601. The outer wall of the arc-shaped groove 601 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 602. The output end of the electric push rod 602 is connected to the sealing cover 603. The outer wall of the sealing cover 603 is in contact with the arc-shaped groove 601.

[0027] After the adjustment mechanism 5 is retracted into the storage box 401, the controller hole electric push rod 602 pushes the cover 603 into the through hole to isolate the connection between the storage box 401 and the pipe body 1, so that the water flow is always located inside the pipe body 1 and will not enter the storage box 401.
