Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of production line equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic and manual production equipment for multi-layer composite insulation pipes. Background Technology

[0002] First-line pipes are one of the most important components used in oil extraction. Many factors need to be considered. Since oil pipes are typically several kilometers long, rapid heat dissipation during well operations often leads to oil thickening and clumping, causing blockages, cracks, and even breakage, posing significant safety hazards. Traditional insulation, waterproofing, and corrosion protection materials often require sufficient thickness to be effective, which is limited by the diameter of the well casing. Furthermore, the complex bonding or spraying processes required for traditional materials restrict their application, resulting in traditional materials not providing effective insulation and corrosion protection for the oil pipes. Currently, most first-line pipe production relies on semi-automation or heavy manual labor, hindering capacity growth, increasing labor costs, and wasting time. The construction of lining materials and casing is currently done manually or with individual machines, making processing difficult, cumbersome to move pipes back and forth, and occupying significant production space.

[0003] The existing steel pipe production line, disclosed in CN210677277U, requires no manual operation. After the pipes are processed, they are automatically transported to the discharge area, while simultaneously feeding one piece into the loading area for processing. This improves production efficiency and product quality, making it suitable for mass production. However, it still suffers from limitations in processing efficiency during casing construction. Furthermore, the entire production line occupies a large area, and the back-and-forth transfer of pipe fittings is cumbersome. The layout of the production line cannot be changed according to actual needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose an automatic and manual multi-layer composite insulation pipe production equipment, including a first pipe feeding module, which includes an automatic and manual pipe feeding mechanism for automatically or manually transporting the first pipe to the production line.

The resistance-increasing material is applied to the outside of the first pipe and then the insulation material is wrapped around the outside of the first pipe.

[0007] The pressurized wrapping and winding machine module, which is located at one end of the conveying module, includes an automatic fastening and wrapping film tape wrapping machine for fastening the insulation material wrapped around the outside of the first pipe.

[0009] The variable frequency traction sleeve module, which is set at one end of the conveying module, includes a variable frequency sleeve pulling machine for connecting the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0010] The pipe-pressing module, located at one end of the conveying module, includes multiple sets of automatic radial shrinking pipe-pressing machines distributed on the conveying module, used to crimp and fasten the first pipe and the second pipe together.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: it also includes a second pipe automatic and manual feeding module, including an automatic feeding mechanism for transporting the second pipe to the conveying module and then into the frequency conversion pulling sleeve module for sleeve installation.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, it also includes a storage and automatic unloading module.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the first pipe feeding module and the second automatic and manual pipe feeding module are both located on one side of the conveying module. The interior of the automatic feeding mechanism includes a pipe storage rack. One end of the pipe storage rack is provided with a lifting conveying device. The lifting conveying device is provided with a limiting conveying hinge. The limiting conveying hinge is a block-shaped groove hinge. The other end of the limiting conveying hinge is connected to a support frame.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution: the length of the conveying module between the fastening material covering and tension winding module and the frequency conversion traction sleeve module is 15m-30m.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution: The storage and automatic unloading module is also equipped with the automatic feeding mechanism, and the tilt angle of the automatic feeding mechanism in the storage and automatic unloading module is opposite to the tilt angle of the automatic feeding mechanism in the first pipe feeding module and the second pipe automatic and manual feeding module.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution: the conveying module is internally provided with multiple sets of conveying mechanisms, each conveying mechanism including a support frame, the upper end of the support frame being provided with multiple sets of parallel rollers, and the outside of the rollers being provided with motors for driving the rotation of the rollers.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic and manual multi-layer composite insulation pipe production equipment, including a first pipe feeding module 1, which includes an automatic pipe feeding mechanism 100 for automatically transporting the first pipe to the production line.

[0031] The conveying module 2 is used to transport the first pipe and the second pipe to various modules for processing. The conveying module 2 is adjustable and can be adjusted according to the slope or unevenness of the ground to maintain the horizontal state of the conveying module 2.

[0032] The resistance-increasing material coating and insulation material wrapping module (3) is set at one end of the conveying module (2), including a resistance-increasing material coating machine and an insulation material winding wrapping machine. The resistance-increasing material is applied to the outside of the first pipe and then the insulation material is wrapped around the outside of the first pipe.

[0033] The pressurized wrapping machine module (4) located at one end of the conveying module (2) includes an automatic fastening wrapping film tape wrapping machine, which is used to fasten the insulation material wrapped around the outside of the first pipe.

[0034] The reinforcement auxiliary winding module (5) set at one end of the conveying module (2) includes a fastening material winding and wrapping machine for winding and fastening the outer fastening and wrapping material of the first pipe, etc.

[0035] The variable frequency traction sleeve module (6) is set at one end of the conveying module (2), including a variable frequency sleeve pulling machine, for connecting the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0036] The pipe pressing module (7) located at one end of the conveying module (2) includes multiple sets of automatic radial shrinking pipe pressing machines distributed on the conveying module (2) for pressing and fastening the first pipe and the second pipe together.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a second pipe automatic and manual feeding module 8, which includes an automatic feeding mechanism 100 for transporting the second pipe to the conveying module 2 and then into the frequency conversion pulling sleeve module 6 for sleeve installation.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a storage and automatic unloading module 9.

[0039] Furthermore, the first pipe feeding module 1 and the second automatic and manual pipe feeding module 8 are both located on one side of the conveying module 2. The automatic feeding mechanism 100 includes a pipe storage rack 101 inside. One end of the pipe storage rack 101 is provided with a lifting conveying device 102. The lifting conveying device 102 is provided with a limiting conveying hinge 103. The limiting conveying hinge 103 is a block-shaped groove hinge. The other end of the limiting conveying hinge 103 is connected to the support frame 201.

[0040] Furthermore, the pipe storage rack 101 is provided with a 5° tilt angle, which can provide a downward automatic force to the first or second pipe, enabling it to automatically reach the upper end of the lifting and conveying device.

[0041] Furthermore, the length of the conveying module 2 between the fastening material coating and tension winding module 4 and the frequency conversion pulling sleeve module 5 is 15m-30m. Before entering the fastening material coating and tension winding module 4, the pipes are all queued in this area and then pass through in sequence to make the first pipe wrap the coating material.

[0042] Furthermore, the covering material is fiberglass cloth.

[0043] Furthermore, the storage and automatic unloading module 9 is also equipped with an automatic feeding mechanism 100, and the tilt angle of the automatic feeding mechanism 100 in the storage and automatic unloading module 9 is opposite to the tilt angle of the automatic feeding mechanism 100 in the first pipe feeding module 1 and the second pipe automatic and manual feeding module 8.

[0044] According to the above technical solution, the tilt angle of the second pipe automatic and manual feeding module 7 is the same as that of the first pipe feeding module, so that the second pipe, i.e. the metal pipe, can be automatically fed into the upper end of the conveying module 2. The tilt angle of the automatic feeding mechanism 100 in the storage and automatic unloading module 9 is opposite to that of the automatic feeding mechanism 100 in the second pipe automatic and manual feeding module 8. After the insulation pipe is processed by the automatic sleeve machine, it reaches the conveying mechanism 200 at both ends of the pressing module 6 through the automatic feeding mechanism 100. Then, it is pressed and fastened by the automatic radial pressing and shrinking machine to realize the production of multi-layer composite material insulation pipe.

[0045] Furthermore, the conveying module 2 is internally provided with multiple sets of conveying mechanisms 200. Each conveying mechanism 200 includes a support frame 201. The upper end of the support frame 201 is provided with multiple sets of parallel rollers 202. The outside of the rollers 202 is provided with a motor 203 for driving the rotation of the rollers 202.

[0046] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of the resistance-increasing material coating and insulation material covering module 3, the pressure-applying wrapping machine module 4, the reinforcement auxiliary wrapping module 5, the frequency conversion pulling sleeve module 6, and the pressing tube module 7 are all connected to the conveying module 2. The conveying module 2 conveys the pipe fittings through the above-mentioned modules via the internal roller 202.

[0047] Furthermore, it also includes a cutting module 10 and a handling module 11. The cutting module 10 includes a residual pipe cutting machine inside. The handling module 11 is a sliding crane set above the conveying module 2. The residual pipe cutting machine can cut off the excess part of the sleeve after the compression pipe is completed. The sliding crane is located above the entire production line and can lift the first pipe onto the first pipe loading module 1. It can also unload the completed sleeve from the storage and automatic unloading module 9. At the same time, the sliding crane can lift each module to different positions as needed for assembly, thereby realizing flexible cooperation between modules.

[0048] Through the above scheme, the production equipment realizes the production of insulation pipes by cooperating between different modules. Different modules can be combined according to their characteristics and functions, and their positions can be changed at any time. When maintenance is required, only some specially selected modules need to be removed and replaced for maintenance, without delaying the normal production of insulation pipes. At the same time, the production area can be flexibly arranged to reduce the floor space. The bottom of each module is designed to be adjustable and level, so as to ensure that the module is in a horizontal state. Furthermore, each module is designed with data cable and power connector.

[0049] Meanwhile, the equipment employs a conveyor mechanism 200, an automatic feeding mechanism 100, an automatic fastening and wrapping film tape machine, a fastening material wrapping machine, a frequency conversion tube pulling machine, and multiple sets of automatic radial shrinking and pressing machines. This combination enables the automatic production of insulation pipes, achieving the overall effect of saving labor and increasing production efficiency.

[0050] Working principle: When using this equipment, the first pipe to be processed is first lifted by the sliding crane in the handling module 11 onto the pipe storage rack 101 of the automatic feeding mechanism 100. Since the pipe storage rack 101 has an inclined surface with an inclination of 5°, and the cross-section of the first pipe is circular, the first pipe will roll down onto the lifting conveyor 102, causing the first pipe to engage with the limiting conveying hinge 103. Then, driven by the lifting conveyor 102, the first pipe is transported to the support frame 2 connected to the automatic feeding mechanism 100. On the support frame 201, multiple sets of parallel rollers 202 are arranged inside, and the sides of the rollers 202 are connected by chains or transmission belts. A motor 203 is connected to the outside of one set of rollers. The motor 203 drives the rollers 202 to rotate, so that the first pipe moves to the next module. It is then conveyed forward by the conveying module 2 to the friction-increasing material coating and insulation material wrapping module 3, which includes a friction-increasing material coating machine and an insulation material winding and wrapping machine. After the friction-increasing material is applied to the outside of the first pipe, the insulation material is then wrapped around the first pipe. After the outer packaging is completed, the pressure wrapping machine module 4, including the automatic fastening wrapping film tape wrapping machine, is used to fasten the insulation material wrapped around the outside of the first pipe. A 15-30m conveyor module 2 is set between the material fastening wrapping tension wrapping module 4 and the fastening wrapping film tape module 3. The materials are queued in this area and then sequentially conveyed to the reinforcement auxiliary wrapping module 5. The reinforcement auxiliary wrapping module 5 completes the wrapping of the material, fastening the fiberglass cloth wrapped around the outside of the first pipe to ensure it completely adheres to the outside of the insulation material. Then... The first pipe is conveyed to the variable frequency tube drawing machine via the conveying module 2, while the second pipe is transported to the variable frequency tube drawing machine via the automatic and manual feeding module 8. The variable frequency tube drawing machine then connects the first pipe and the second pipe together. After one or more sets of shrinking and pressing machines, the first pipe and the second pipe are pressed together to ensure the stability of the connection. The fully pressed tube is then cut off by the excess tube cutting machine inside the cutting module 10, and then conveyed to the storage and automatic unloading module.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
