Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to an automatic detection system for defect parameters of atmospheric storage tanks and a risk assessment method. Background Art

[0002] Atmospheric storage tanks are special equipment with danger in the petrochemical industry. The volume of the largest oil tank in the world reaches 240,000 cubic meters, and the volume of the largest storage tank built and used in China is 150,000 cubic meters, among which 100,000 cubic meter storage tanks are quite common. In recent years, with the continuous strengthening of China's petroleum strategic position, the number of storage tanks in China has also been increasing continuously, and the storage tanks are developing towards the trend of large-scale. Most of the storage media in atmospheric storage tanks have characteristics such as flammability, explosiveness or toxicity. At the same time, due to the influence of the storage tank structure, operating conditions, insufficient experience of management personnel and loose management, the failure probability of storage tanks is greatly increased. Once a leakage occurs, it may trigger catastrophic accidents such as fires, explosions and poisoning, causing serious environmental pollution, and bringing huge losses and hazards to social economy, production and people's lives and property. Therefore, the management problem of atmospheric storage tanks is the focus of attention of society and enterprises.

[0003] At present, the management of atmospheric storage tanks by petrochemical enterprises in China has not yet been incorporated into the track of legal management. Moreover, the number of storage tanks is large, and it is difficult to conduct inspections one by one. In order not to affect production, each enterprise adopts the method of sampling inspection. However, this sampling inspection method often relies on manual experience and does not have a reasonable classification and grading management method, and its results will cause two disadvantages: on the one hand, the results of sampling inspection show that most storage tanks have no defects. If the tank opening inspection is frequent, it will cause serious economic losses; on the other hand, storage tanks with greater potential risks cannot be inspected on schedule, and the storage tanks are severely aged and over-serviced, resulting in many potential safety hazards.

[0004] The risk-based inspection (RBI) technology is used to conduct risk assessment on atmospheric storage tanks, analyze and calculate the failure possibility and failure consequences of atmospheric storage tanks, determine the risk levels of each equipment item of the storage tanks, and analyze the factors that may cause risks to provide reference and basis for the comprehensive inspection of common storage tanks. The risk-based inspection (RBI) technology for in-service atmospheric storage tanks, as an advanced management concept with risk assessment as the core, integrates the information management technology and detection and evaluation technology of the storage tank area, which is a higher level of the current storage tank system management. It solves the problems of over-detection and under-detection existing in traditional inspections, greatly reduces the risk of the tank area and the inspection and maintenance costs, and has important significance for enterprises to improve the operation and production efficiency and achieve long-term safe operation of equipment.

[0005] However, during the implementation of RBI, API 581 (American Petroleum Institute) risk-based resource documents have achieved good results in the implementation in the US petrochemical industry. Since the introduction of RBI technology into China, it has gone through three stages: technology transformation, pilot application, and wide application. The RBI technology has entered the fourth stage in China - the stage of substantial application. In this stage, it is more necessary to think about and correct the problems existing in the RBI assessment work according to China's national conditions, truly digest and improve foreign related technologies, reject replication, and strengthen the formulation and revision of systematic laws, regulations, and related standards.

[0006] The following problems mainly exist in the risk-based inspection of in-service atmospheric storage tanks: There is still a large gap in the failure mechanism for calculating the failure probability of the risk-based inspection method compared with foreign countries; there is a lack of failure data; less consideration is given to the original defects; it is required that the evaluation personnel have rich on-site inspection experience of in-service atmospheric storage tanks, and at the same time need to master multiple disciplines such as metal materials science and non-destructive testing, with relatively high comprehensive qualities; evaluation methods are given in GB / T 26610 and GB / T 30578, the calculation formulas are complex, and if manual calculation is used, the calculation is cumbersome, the efficiency is low, and errors are prone to occur.

[0007] In addition, during the risk assessment calculation process, it is necessary to first detect the defects of the in-service atmospheric storage tank to be evaluated to obtain parameters such as corrosion data of the tank wall and the bottom of the storage tank, which are used as part of the basic data for risk assessment; for example, in the prior art, acoustic emission detection technology is commonly used to perform non-destructive detection on the defect parameters of the storage tank. During detection, acoustic emission sensors are arranged along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the storage tank, and the acoustic emission sensors are fixed at set positions in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction. During detection, each acoustic emission sensor transmits data to the host computer for calculation, so as to calculate the corrosion condition of the storage tank, such as calculating the corrosion thinning data or local corrosion data at the bottom of the storage tank. The above detection process is usually completed manually. The storage tanks in the petrochemical field are usually large in size, and it is necessary to accurately arrange acoustic emission sensors in the circumferential direction and at high positions, with high operation difficulty and low accuracy of position positioning. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an automatic detection system for defect parameters of an atmospheric storage tank.

[0074] Refer to Figures 1 - 19, the detection device includes a mounting base 9 and an acoustic emission sensor 1 disposed on the mounting base 9. The acoustic emission sensor 1 is used to detect the corrosion data of the wall of the atmospheric storage tank. Additionally, a vertical driving mechanism for driving the acoustic emission sensor 1 to move vertically and a vertical guiding mechanism for guiding the vertical movement of the acoustic emission sensor 1 are provided between the mounting base 9 and the acoustic emission sensor 1. Among them, the acoustic emission sensor 1 is mounted on the sensor seat 2; the vertical driving mechanism is mounted on the mounting base 9, and this vertical driving mechanism adopts a driving method combining a vertical motor 7 and a vertical screw drive mechanism.

[0077] See Figures 1 - 19, the control and processing device is used to receive the data information uploaded by the detection device, and through analyzing and calculating the data information, realize the risk assessment of the wall of the atmospheric storage tank to obtain the defect parameters of the atmospheric storage tank. Among them, the control and processing device is a computer, and the computer calculates the corresponding defect parameters according to the existing defect parameter calculation methods; at the same time, the computer can also establish a corresponding calculation model by applying the calculated defect parameters according to the existing risk assessment methods, and retrieve the pre-stored data of the corresponding atmospheric storage tank stored in the database. The pre-stored data includes but is not limited to the service life of the atmospheric storage tank, the original wall thickness of the bottom plate or wall plate of the atmospheric storage tank, and the number of inspections; combining all the data of the atmospheric storage tank (including detection data), the computer automatically calculates the risk level of the atmospheric storage tank through the pre-established calculation model, and at the same time sends the risk assessment situation to the user.

[0078] See Figures 1 - 19 , the front adsorption device 8 includes front electromagnets 801 arranged on both sides of the vertical driving mechanism and a connecting member for connecting the front electromagnets 801 to the mounting seat 9. Among them, during the power-on process, the front electromagnets 801 are elastically pressed against the wall of the atmospheric storage tank; the connecting member includes a connecting rod 806, a connecting sleeve 803, and a connecting spring 807 arranged between the connecting rod 806 and the connecting sleeve 803. Among them, the upper end of the connecting rod 806 is connected to the mounting seat 9, and the lower end extends into the connecting sleeve 803; a connecting channel for the vertical sliding of the connecting rod 806 is arranged in the connecting sleeve 803, and the lower end of the connecting channel communicates with the inner cavity 804 of the connecting sleeve 803, and the diameter of the inner cavity 804 is larger than the diameter of the connecting channel; the lower end of the connecting rod 806 passes through the connecting channel and is connected to a limiting block 805 located in the inner cavity 804, and the diameter of the limiting block 805 is larger than the diameter of the connecting channel, so as to prevent the connecting sleeve 803 from separating from the connecting rod 806; the connecting spring 807 is sleeved on the connecting rod 806, the upper end of the connecting spring 807 acts on the mounting seat 9, and the lower end acts on the connecting sleeve 803; the elastic force of the connecting spring 807 urges the connecting sleeve 803 to press down on the wall of the atmospheric storage tank; the connecting sleeve 803 and the front electromagnet 801 are connected through a ball head bearing 802, and the ball head bearing 802 can support the multi-angle swing of the front electromagnet 801.

By setting the above structure, the crawling device can not only move linearly, but also turn; specifically: before or after the front adsorption device 8 moves forward, the rotation motor 24 drives the gear transmission mechanism 15 to rotate. Since the rear adsorption device 16 has adsorbed on the wall body, under the reaction force, the support 14 above the fixed seat 161 and each module on the support 14 will rotate around the rotating shaft. Among them, the rotation angle is flexibly selected according to the actual situation. When the forward direction of the front adsorption device 8 is adjusted, the telescopic driving device drives the front adsorption device 8 to continue the crawling action.

[0080] In addition, in this embodiment, the rear electromagnets 162 are three groups, and the included angle between two adjacent groups of rear electromagnets 162 among the three groups of rear electromagnets 162 is 120 degrees; by adopting this setting method, it is beneficial to ensure the stability of the crawling device during the crawling process.

[0081] See Figures 1 - 19 , a first rotating seat 11 is arranged on the support 14, the first rotating seat 11 is rotatably connected to the support 14, and the rotation center of the rotational connection is located on one side of the support 14 close to the detection device and on one side of the first rotating seat 11 close to the detection device; the telescopic driving device is arranged on one side of the first rotating seat 11 close to the detection device, and the telescopic driving device includes a through motor 10 and a linear lead screw 13. Among them, the through motor 10 is installed on the first rotating seat 11, and after the linear lead screw 13 passes through the through motor 10, one end of the linear lead screw 13 is connected to the mounting seat 9. By driving the linear lead screw 13 to rotate through the through motor 10, the linear lead screw 13 is driven to perform a linear motion, so as to drive the mounting seat 9 connected to the linear lead screw 13 to perform a linear motion. In addition to this implementation method, the telescopic driving device can also adopt the driving methods of a linear motor or an electric push rod.

[0082] See Figures 1 - 19, the telescopic driving device further includes two sets of linear guiding mechanisms 12 arranged on both sides of the through motor 10. Each set of linear guiding mechanisms 12 includes a guide rod and a guide sleeve. Among them, the guide sleeve is installed on the first rotating seat 11. One end of the guide rod passes through the guiding hole on the guide sleeve and is connected to the mounting seat 9, and a limiting portion can be provided at the other end. By providing the linear guiding mechanism 12, the linear motion of the mounting seat 9 can be guided, which is beneficial to ensuring the motion accuracy of the front end suction device 8, thereby ensuring the motion accuracy of the crawling device. In addition, the function of the added limiting portion is to limit the maximum telescopic stroke of the telescopic driving device, that is, to limit the maximum crawling stroke of the crawling device for a single time.

[0083] See Figures 1 - 19 , the lifting driving device includes a front end driving mechanism for driving the front end suction device 8 to lift and a rear end driving mechanism for driving the rear end suction device 16 to lift.

[0084] See Figures 1 - 19, the front-end drive mechanism includes a lifting motor and a lifting lead screw transmission mechanism 25. Among them, at the end of the first rotating seat 11 far from the detection device, a connecting shaft 26 is provided. Both sides of the connecting shaft 26 extend into the first rotating seat 11 respectively; at both sides of the connecting shaft 26 on the first rotating seat 11, first limiting grooves 110 are provided. Both ends of the connecting shaft 26 extend into the first limiting grooves 110 respectively; one end of the lifting lead screw in the lifting lead screw transmission mechanism 25 is connected to the main shaft of the lifting motor, and the other end vertically passes through the middle of the connecting shaft 26. An internal threaded hole matching the external thread of the lifting lead screw is provided in the middle of the connecting shaft 26, and the internal threaded hole constitutes the lifting lead screw nut in the lifting lead screw transmission mechanism 25. Through the above settings, when it is necessary to drive the front-end adsorption device 8 to move vertically, the lifting lead screw is driven to rotate by the lifting motor, thereby driving the connecting shaft 26 to move vertically. And because the part of the first connecting seat close to the detection device is hinged on the support 14, therefore, the first connecting seat is equivalent to a "lever mechanism". In fact, the front-end drive mechanism is located on one side of the lever mechanism, while the telescopic drive device, the detection device, and the front-end adsorption device 8 are located on the other side of the lever mechanism (wherein, because both the detection device and the front-end adsorption device 8 are connected through the mounting seat 9, and the mounting seat 9 is installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic drive device, therefore, both the detection device and the front-end adsorption device 8 can be regarded as being located on the other side of the lever mechanism); by the downward movement of the connecting shaft 26, the other side of the lever mechanism can be pulled downward, so that the detection device and the front-end adsorption device 8 swing upward, thereby separating the front-end adsorption device 8 from the wall body; at the same time, when the lifting drive mechanism drives the connecting shaft 26 to move upward, the detection device and the front-end adsorption device 8 swing downward, so that the front-end adsorption device 8 adsorbs on the wall body. And because the first limiting grooves 110 are provided on both sides of the first rotating seat 11 and the connecting shaft 26, the first limiting grooves 110 can be set as oblong, which can not only prevent the connecting shaft 26 from being stuck during the vertical movement process, but also the length of the first limiting grooves 110 determines the vertical movement stroke of the connecting shaft 26, which is beneficial to limiting the swing range of the detection device and the front-end adsorption device 8. In addition, because the rotation center of the first rotating seat 11 is set on the side of the first rotating seat 11 close to the detection device; that is to say, the "long rod" in the lever mechanism is connected to the connecting shaft 26, which also plays a role in saving effort and is beneficial to reducing the power of the lifting motor.

[0085] See Figures 1 - 19 , the rear-end drive mechanism includes a lever mechanism and a support mechanism, among which,

[0086] The support mechanism includes a support base 19 and support members arranged on both sides of the support base 19. Among them, the support members include wheel seats 22 and traveling wheels 23 arranged on the wheel seats 22. Among them, the wheel seats 22 and the support base 19 are connected by support rods 20. The lower end of the support rod 20 is connected to the wheel seat 22, and the upper end vertically passes through the support base 19 and is connected to the limit plate. The support base 19 is provided with a guide groove at a position corresponding to the support rod 20, and the guide groove enables the support rod 20 to slide vertically; the diameter of the limit plate is larger than the diameter of the guide groove; a compression spring 21 is also sleeved on the support rod 20. The upper end of the compression spring 21 acts on the support base 19, and the lower end acts on the wheel seat 22; the elastic force of the compression spring 21 urges the traveling wheels 23 to press downward against the wall body; the support 14 is provided with an avoidance groove at a position corresponding to the wheel seat 22;

[0087] The lever mechanism includes a second rotating seat 17. The support 14 is provided with a hinge seat 18. The middle part of the second rotating seat 17 is hinged on the hinge seat 18. One end of the second rotating seat 17 is connected to the connecting shaft 26, and the other end is connected to the support base 19; among them, the second rotating seat 17 is provided with a second limit groove 172 at a position corresponding to the connecting shaft 26, and the connecting shaft 26 passes through the second limit groove 172; the middle part of the support base 19 is rod-shaped, and the second rotating seat 17 is provided with a third limit groove 171 at a position corresponding to the support base 19, and the middle part of the support base 19 is located in the third limit groove 171.

[0088] With the above settings, while the lifting motor drives the connecting shaft 26 to move vertically, the connecting shaft 26 also drives one end of the second rotating seat 17 to swing vertically, thereby driving the other end of the second connecting seat to swing vertically. Since the other end of the second rotating seat 17 is connected to the support seat 19, when the second rotating seat 17 rotates around the hinge seat 18, the support mechanism will also move up and down; among them, the up and down movement of the support mechanism is synchronized with the up and down movement of the front end suction device 8, that is, when the support mechanism moves downward, correspondingly, the front end suction device 8 also moves downward; vice versa; in this way, when it is necessary to ensure that the rear end suction device 16 crosses an obstacle, the lifting motor drives the connecting shaft 26 to move upward through the lifting screw transmission mechanism 25, and through the two sets of lever mechanisms on both sides, the front end suction device 8 and the support mechanism move downward at the same time, so that the rear end suction device 16 located in the middle is gradually supported by the front end suction device 8 and the support mechanism, making the rear end suction device 16 suspended. In this way, driven by the crawling device, the rear end suction device 16 can cross the obstacle. When it is necessary to ensure that the front end suction device 8 crosses an obstacle, only the lifting motor needs to drive the connecting shaft 26 to move downward through the lifting screw transmission mechanism 25, and through the two sets of lever mechanisms on both sides, the front end suction device 8 and the support mechanism move upward at the same time, and then through the drive of the telescopic drive device, the front end suction device 8 crosses the obstacle, and then the lifting motor drives the lifting screw transmission mechanism 25 to reset, so that the front end suction device 8 and the support mechanism on both sides are reset. In addition, through the above settings, the front end drive mechanism and the rear end drive mechanism can share a set of lifting drive mechanisms, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost and simplifying the structure. In addition, a corresponding lifting guide mechanism 27 can be provided for the lifting drive mechanism. The lifting guide mechanism 27 can be two groups. The two groups of lifting guide mechanisms 27 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting screw. Each group of lifting guide mechanisms includes a guide seat provided on the support 14 and a guide rod cooperating with the guide seat. Among them, the upper end of the guide rod is connected to the connecting shaft 26. If the guide rod needs to pass through the first rotating seat 11 or the second rotating seat 17, an avoidance hole needs to be provided on the first rotating seat 11 and the second rotating seat 17. The avoidance hole is oblong, and the extending direction is the same as the extending directions of the first limiting groove 110, the second limiting groove 172 and the third limiting groove 171, so as to ensure that the guide rod will not interfere with the first rotating seat 11 or the second rotating seat 17 during the lifting movement.

Among them, the calculation steps of the risk assessment calculation model include:

[0094] (3-1). Calculate the failure probability F(t) of the atmospheric storage tank:

[0095] F(t) = F G ×D f-total ×FM ;
