Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of blasting technology, in particular to a bursting disc energy-gathering cutting device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bursting disc is a non-reseating overpressure relief device, which is divided into reseating and non-reseating according to the reset condition after pressure relief. The safety valve is a reseating pressure relief device, and the bursting disc device and the fusible plug are non-reseating pressure relief devices. Generally, it is composed of a bursting disc and a holder. Simply put, the bursting disc is a one-time pressure relief device, which is widely used in chemical, petroleum, light industry, fire protection, aviation and other industrial departments. Its working principle is that the bursting disc breaks or falls off rapidly due to the limit of the pressure difference between the two sides under the set temperature environment, thereby forming a discharge port and discharging the medium. According to the structure, the bursting disc is generally divided into positive arch type, reverse arch type and flat plate type, and according to the material, it is divided into metal, non-metal and metal composite non-metal.

[0003] The bursting disc is characterized by reliable sealing, no leakage, suitable for various working media, unlimited discharge capacity, and quick explosion reaction. It is an ideal safety device for widely used super-high pressure vessels. The bursting disc mainly relies on the strength limit of the diaphragm to control the bursting pressure. For many years, many people engaged in the research of bursting disc have sought a calculation method to accurately calculate the bursting pressure of the bursting disc. However, due to many factors affecting the bursting pressure of the bursting disc, even if the theoretical calculation formula is very accurate, it is difficult to make the design value and the actual value completely consistent. For example, the tolerance of the thickness and diameter of the diaphragm, the change of the metallographic structure and the difference of the chemical composition of the diaphragm material, and the surface quality of the diaphragm and the clamping method will all cause the actual bursting pressure value of each diaphragm to be unstable, and there will be a certain deviation between the actual bursting pressure and the design bursting pressure.

[0004] The existing bursting disc often appears in two conditions during use. One is that the actual bursting pressure of the bursting disc is smaller than the designed bursting pressure, that is, the bursting disc explodes prematurely when the pressure value of the pressure vessel has not reached the set value. The other is that the actual pressure value of the bursting disc is greater than the designed bursting pressure, that is, the bursting disc does not explode when the pressure vessel has reached the upper limit of the pressure. The above two situations will cause the pressure vessel to rupture due to overpressure, resulting in significant property loss and even personnel injury accidents. Therefore, in view of the above situation, it is urgent to develop a bursting disc energy-gathering cutting device to overcome the shortcomings in current practical application. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a bursting disc energy-gathering cutting device to solve the problems raised in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A bursting disc energy-gathering cutting device, comprising:

[0008] a cutting head assembly;

[0009] an initiating device connected with the cutting head assembly through a transmission assembly;

[0010] The cutting head assembly comprises a cutting unit, a protective shell and double-sided adhesive tape, the cutting unit is installed in a sliding groove at the bottom of the protective shell, one side of the double-sided adhesive tape is attached to the bottom of the protective shell, and the other side is detachably attached to the bursting disc.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the bursting disc energy-gathering cutting device has the following advantages:

[0012] During the overall assembly of the energy-gathering cutting device, the back of the cutting unit is first coated with adhesive, and is then installed in the sliding groove of the protective shell; all the cutting units are installed in the sliding groove of the protective shell in the same way, and then the output end of the transmission assembly is installed from the central hole at the top of the protective shell until it is attached to the cutting unit; subsequently, the double-sided adhesive tape is attached to the bottom of the protective shell, so that the energy-gathering cutting device is perfectly attached to the surface of the bursting disc during use; finally, the input end of the transmission assembly is connected with the initiating device.

[0013] During the use of the energy-gathering cutting device, the cutting head assembly is pre-installed on the non-pressure surface of the bursting disc, and the wall thickness of the bursting disc is preferably 3 mm; when the actual pressure in the pressure equipment exceeds the burst pressure of the bursting disc, the bursting disc has not yet worked, or when the pressure needs to be released in advance before the pressure reaches the burst pressure of the bursting disc;

[0014] In the two cases, the initiating device rapidly starts the cutting unit through the transmission assembly, one end of the transmission assembly is installed in the central hole at the top of the protective shell of the cutting head assembly and is connected with the cutting unit, and the other end is connected with the initiating device; when the cutting unit works, 3-10 cracks can be cut on the bursting disc in an instant, so that the high-pressure substance (gas or liquid) in the pressure equipment is rapidly released from the cutting seam, the effect of rapidly reducing the pressure in the pressure device is achieved, and accidents such as equipment damage, property loss and even personnel injury are avoided, which is worth promoting.
