Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pipeline nondestructive testing, and in particular, relates to a pipeline nondestructive testing device. Background Art

[0002] In-pipeline inspection refers to the use of pipeline media to drive the detector to run in the pipeline, real-time detection and recording of pipeline deformation, corrosion and other damage conditions, and accurate positioning operations. Most oil and gas pipelines are laid underground. Through in-pipeline inspection, various defects and damages can be discovered in advance, and the degree of danger of each pipe section can be understood. Accidents can be prevented and effectively reduced, and pipeline maintenance funds can be saved. It is an important measure to ensure pipeline safety.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent number CN214749969U discloses a nondestructive testing device for acoustic flaw detection of steel pipes, including a nondestructive testing device body, the nondestructive testing device body includes a fixed cylinder, a slot is opened on the fixed cylinder, a connecting block is installed inside the slot, a limiting plate is welded at the bottom of the connecting block, a fixed plate is welded at the top of the connecting block, the fixed plate is installed on the fixed cylinder by fastening bolts, a threaded seat is welded on the fixed plate, a threaded rod is installed inside the threaded seat, when the device is used, the sound wave generators on the multiple arc plates are not on the same plane, the multiple sound wave generators and the arc plates are adjusted and fixed in the slot in a trapezoidal shape, when in use, the multiple arc plates cooperate to expand the detection width, and the steel pipe is spirally detected by rotating the arc plate and the fixed cylinder, thereby improving the detection efficiency;

[0004] However, the above patent needs to be set outside the pipeline when in use. However, in outdoor environments, there are often various obstacles outside the pipeline, which makes it impossible to set the patent outside the pipeline for flaw detection.

[0005] When encountering a pipeline that cannot be inspected from the outside, the operation and maintenance personnel will perform flaw detection from the inside of the pipeline. However, due to the limitation of the inner diameter of the pipeline, it is difficult for the operation and maintenance personnel to enter the pipeline for flaw detection. They can only manually insert the non-destructive testing device using the ultrasonic principle into the inside of the pipeline and move the non-destructive testing device back and forth to complete the flaw detection. When moving the non-destructive testing device, in order to protect the non-destructive testing device and avoid scratches between the non-destructive testing device and the pipeline as much as possible, the operation and maintenance personnel need to stably support the non-destructive testing device on the inside of the pipeline, which will increase the physical exertion of the operation and maintenance personnel, making the detection process very time-consuming and laborious.

[0031] The working principle of a pipeline nondestructive testing device proposed in the present invention is that when using the device, the device is first placed as a whole into the interior of the pipeline, and then the roller 8 is squeezed by the inner wall of the pipeline, thereby driving the second connecting rod 7 to rotate, and then driving the first connecting rod 6 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block 4 to move along the connecting shaft 3, and then the compression spring 5 can be squeezed, so that the roller 8 can be rotated in the direction of the pipeline robot body 1, and then it can be suitable for the detection of different pipeline diameters. Then, the remote controller is started to drive the roller 8 to rotate, so as to facilitate the movement of the device inside the pipeline, and the cleaning mechanism can be started synchronously to clean the inner wall of the pipeline to prevent dust from affecting the detection work of the pipeline robot body 1. At the same time, the ultrasonic flaw detection device 11 is used to detect the inside of the pipeline. When the ultrasonic wave encounters defects such as cracks, pores, inclusions, etc. inside the pipeline or the interface of different media, reflection, refraction or scattering will occur. By detecting these reflected ultrasonic signals, the defects inside the material can be inferred.

[0033] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned pipeline robot body 1 , a connecting plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the pipeline robot body 1 , and the driving motors 10 are fixedly installed on the connecting plate 12 .

[0034] The working principle of the pipeline nondestructive testing device proposed in the present invention is that when the pipeline robot body 1 is separated from the pipeline, the compression spring 5 is used to drive the sliding block 4 to reset, thereby driving the roller 8 to move in the opposite direction away from the pipeline robot body 1, thereby completing the reset.

[0035] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism includes a rotating disk 21 arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor 10, the rotating disk 21 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 13, the fixed frame 13 is fixedly mounted inside the disc 14, the rotating disk 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 10, the fixed frame 13 is slidably connected with a cleaning brush 22, the cleaning brush 22 is fixedly mounted with a protrusion 15, the protrusion 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the arc-shaped slide groove 16, the arc-shaped slide groove 16 is opened on the rotating disk 21, and the cleaning brush 22 is slidably connected to the disc 14.

[0039] It is worth noting that the distance that the cleaning brush 22 moves can be changed by the number of revolutions of the rotating disk 21, so that it can be suitable for cleaning the inner walls of different pipes.

[0040] In one embodiment, for the ultrasonic flaw detection device 11, the ultrasonic flaw detection device 11 is fixedly installed above the support frame 2, and the support frame 2 is fixedly installed with the pipeline robot body 1 by bolts.

[0041] The working principle of the pipeline nondestructive testing device proposed by the present invention is that the device is driven to move inside the pipeline by the rotation of the roller 8. Every time the device moves a certain distance, it will stop and start the camera 19 to take pictures of the inner wall of the pipeline for detection.
