Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a grounding wire device, in particular to an oil and gas pipeline grounding device. Background Art

[0002] As a highly efficient energy source, oil and natural gas are one of the most widely used energy sources at present. From the extraction and processing of oil and natural gas to the sale and use, a key link in this process is the transmission of oil and gas, and the most important channel for oil and gas transmission is the oil and gas pipeline. In the process of oil and gas flowing in the pipeline, since the oil and gas rub against the inner wall of the pipeline in the form of fluid, static electricity will inevitably be generated. If the static electricity generated cannot be discharged in time, the static electricity voltage will gradually increase over time, and it is likely to cause the oil and gas pipeline to explode. Installing grounding wires on oil and gas pipelines is an important way to discharge static electricity and ensure the safety of oil and gas transmission.

[0003] At present, the common grounding wire connection method is to vertically weld a screw (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the grounding wire is connected to the screw rod through the split wire nose at one end, and then the nut is tightened on the screw rod to crimp the wire nose to fix it on the screw rod, so as to achieve the purpose of installing and fixing the grounding wire. However, it is found in the process of use that this grounding wire connection method has the following defects:

[0004] 1. Since the screw terminals in the grounding wire are exposed to the outside world for a long time and are affected by the weather such as wind, sun, rain, etc., the terminals are very prone to corrosion after a period of use, especially in a high-salt and high-humidity environment. This situation is particularly obvious. As an important channel for oil and gas transmission, oil and gas pipelines normally contain oil and gas. When the grounding wire terminal is corroded, if the grounding wire terminal needs to be replaced safely, the oil and gas in the pipeline must be emptied. Therefore, the transmission of oil and gas is greatly hindered and the transmission efficiency is affected;

[0005] 2. Since the grounding wire is crimped with a wire nose, the crimped wire nose will age and reduce pressure after a period of use, causing the originally compacted grounding wire to loosen, eventually causing the grounding wire to be poorly grounded or loose. If personnel cannot discover and deal with it in time, it will cause great safety hazards to the transmission safety of oil and gas in the pipeline;

[0006] 3. Since the grounding wire is a wire, during the use of the grounding wire, it is exposed to the outdoors and will swing with the wind in windy weather. If the grounding wire swings for a long time, the wire nose connection of the grounding wire is prone to breakage due to stress, which will eventually cause the grounding function of the grounding wire to fail.

[0007] 4. Since the terminal is a screw with flat surfaces at both ends, the contact surface of the grounding wire is not easy to fit with the pipe when welded on the pipe, resulting in the terminal being not firmly fixed and easily loosened and falling off, greatly reducing the grounding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an oil and gas pipeline grounding device, which makes the connection between the grounding wire and the oil and gas pipeline more convenient, stable, safe and reliable, effectively reduces the corrosion rate and prolongs the service life of the grounding wire, and facilitates the later maintenance of the grounding wire, saves maintenance costs, and ensures the safety of oil and gas transmission.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting end between the crimping groove and the connecting piece is provided with an upwardly tilted and enlarged wire insertion port.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the grounding wire passes through the circular hole of the grounding fixing body, and then continues to pass through the inner through hole of the connecting piece and then extends into the crimping groove of the fixing head.

[0013] Furthermore, an elastic rubber pad is sleeved in the inner through hole of the connector, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the elastic rubber pad for the grounding wire to pass through.

[0014] Furthermore, the through hole of the elastic rubber pad is consistent with the diameter of the elongated groove of the crimping groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the grounding fixing body is provided with an arc structure that matches the outer surface of the oil and gas pipeline.

[0016] Furthermore, the grounding fixing body is made of ordinary copper sheet material.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower end of the protective cover is a box structure with an opening.
