Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of storage tank weld detectors, and in particular to a super-large LNG cryogenic storage tank weld and tank surface flatness quality detector. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tank weld quality detector is a key device to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the tank. Weld quality inspection for ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks usually involves a variety of advanced technologies and equipment to ensure that the quality of the weld meets the design requirements.

[0003] The diameter of the existing ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks is very large, reaching 100 meters. At the same time, the height of the cryogenic storage tanks also exceeds 100 meters. When setting up the storage tank, pieces of welding plates are welded together to form a layer, and then welded again on the basis of this layer. Therefore, each time a layer of the tank is welded, the inner wall of the tank needs to be inspected for circumferential welds and welds between longitudinal welding plates.

[0004] Ultrasonic detection technology, digital radiographic imaging technology and vacuum leak detection technology are often used in the existing technology to detect tank welds. However, the above technologies have great limitations and cannot meet the requirements of weld detection of ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks. In actual detection, since LNG cryogenic storage tanks are large, the detection time is long and the detection is difficult. At the same time, since the storage tanks are welded layer by layer, the storage tanks on the same layer are welded together by pieces of metal plates. There is a problem that the height of one layer of storage tanks is inconsistent after welding, which affects the welding of the next layer. The existing weld detection device cannot detect this point, and the existing equipment cannot quickly detect this problem.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a super-large LNG cryogenic tank weld quality detector that can detect the flatness of the tank surface and the horizontal and longitudinal welds of the tank. Summary of the invention

[0056] When welding the tank wall, it is necessary to set up a platform frame for workers to weld the weld position. A work frame 11 will be placed on the platform frame to facilitate the workers to weld longitudinally and transversely. A laser receiving device 9 is arranged on the top of the work frame 11, and a laser receiving base 907 is arranged on the laser receiving base 907. A power control box 905 is arranged on the laser receiving base 907. Side panels 906 are arranged on the side walls of the power control box 905. A horizontal plate is arranged between the side panels 906. A rotating shaft is arranged between the horizontal plate and the side panels 906, and the horizontal plate can rotate. Two telescopic rods 904 are arranged on the lower side of the horizontal plate, and the telescopic rods 904 are connected to the horizontal plate and the power control box 905 up and down. A panel telescopic frame 903 is arranged on the upper side of the horizontal plate, and a rotating component 902 and a laser receiving panel 901 are arranged on the panel telescopic frame 903. An infrared sensor is arranged behind the laser receiving panel 901, which can feed back the received infrared light to the power control box 905 through a Bluetooth signal, and the power control box 905 receives the signal for processing. A level sensor is provided inside the laser receiving panel 901. When the laser receiving panel 901 is in a tilted position, the sensor sends a signal to the power control box 905 via Bluetooth. The control processor inside the power control box 905 receives the signal and gives feedback to control the two telescopic rods 904 to adjust to a horizontal state. The laser receiving panel 901 is divided into a receiving area and an exceeding area. The receiving area is the middle part of the laser receiving panel 901, and the exceeding area is on the outer circle of the receiving area. The infrared light emitted by the laser transmitter 8 irradiates the laser receiving panel 901, and the infrared laser emitted by the laser transmitter 8 is at the laser receiving area. The receiving panel 901 records the lines. When the infrared light irradiates the exceeded area, the signal is transmitted to the power control box 905. After processing, the power control box 905 controls the rotating component 902 to rotate, driving the laser receiving panel 901 to rotate and irradiate the infrared light to the receiving area. When the infrared laser signal received by this device is this straight line, it means that the flatness is consistent. When there is a deviation in the flatness, the infrared laser irradiation light will show ups and downs, indicating that the tank wall here is undulating. And the infrared laser movement route is sent to the background center, so that the staff of the background center can observe the detection situation in real time.

[0057] The tank seam detection trolley rotates around the tank top, and the laser signal emitted by the laser transmitter 8 can always be irradiated on the laser receiving panel 901, and the flatness of the tank surface is detected by the horizontal motion trajectory of the laser signal on the laser receiving panel 901.

[0058] At the same time, a marking device can be set on the vertical travel module 7 of the X-ray machine. When the laser infrared movement signal received on the laser receiving panel 901 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the signal is sent to the marking device via Bluetooth. The marking device quickly sprays the mark to facilitate the staff to find it.

[0059] The laser receiving device 9 is set on the work frame 11. When the workers finish welding one layer, the work frame 11 on the platform frame quickly sets up the laser receiving device 9 on the top. At the same time, the workers evacuate the work area. The work frame 11 is placed on the platform frame to serve as a benchmark and is used as a reference. The laser activity trajectory on the laser receiving device can help determine whether there is a deviation in the flatness of the entire tank layer. At the same time, a panel telescopic frame 903 is set on the laser receiving device to more conveniently adjust the height of the laser receiving panel 901. According to the actual situation, the laser emitted by the laser transmitter 8 is directly projected on the laser receiving panel 901. The damping plate 804 on the ground of the laser transmitter 8 can reduce the jitter of the laser transmitter 8 during the walking process of the detector, thereby reducing the error. There is a laser signal error range in the background system, which can deal with the errors caused by the walking of the detector and the rotation of the laser receiving panel 901, which causes the system to misjudge.

[0060] Working principle: The horizontal walking module 2 is set up on the tank wall 1, and the main vehicle reducer 206 and the main vehicle servo motor 207 cooperate with each other to drive the roller 208 to walk on the wall.

Both modules are provided with lifting structures, tensioning devices and anti-falling devices. The two modules are respectively provided with imaging modules 5 and ray modules 6. The ray port 607 of the ray machine 606 on the ray module 6 emits rays to irradiate the weld of the tank wall. The imaging board 502 on the imaging module 5 extends out to take pictures and send the structure to the background control center for processing through 5G signals; the lifting devices set in the imaging board vertical walking module 3 and the ray machine vertical walking module 7 can detect the longitudinal welds, and the annular welds of the same layer can be detected by the movement of the horizontal walking module 2. In the weld detection, the flatness of the tank layer after welding is also detected by the cooperation of the laser transmitter 8 and the laser receiving device 9.

[0061] like Fig.23 As shown in the effect demonstration diagram, the inspection trolley is set on the tank wall 1, and there are layers of platform frames on the inner wall of the tank, and there are working frames on the platform frames. The laser beam is emitted from the laser transmitter on the inspection trolley and irradiates the laser receiving device 9 on the working frame. The inspection trolley moves along with the tank top, and the laser direction always irradiates the laser receiving device 9. There are layers of platform frames in the tank, and a layer of platform frames is set up after each layer is welded. The spacing between each layer of platform frames is 7-8 meters. The overall height of the tank is more than 100 meters, and the diameter of the tank also reaches 100 meters.
