Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heating pipe detection equipment, and specifically discloses an external inspection device for a heating pipe network. Background Technique
[0002] A heating pipe network is composed of multiple heating pipes that start from a boiler room, a direct-fired machine room, a heating center, etc. and lead from the heat source to the building heat inlet. During the long-term use of the heating pipes, corrosion and weld cracking will occur on the pipe surface, and most of them are pipe corrosion. Therefore, the heating pipes need to be regularly inspected to timely discover leakage hazards for timely repair to ensure the normal operation of the heating pipes.
[0003] The heating pipes need to have strict requirements for airtightness. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent heat steam leakage or other damage to the heating pipes. However, in general, heat steam leakage is not easily detected by the staff, which requires the use of detection equipment. For heating pipes laid overhead outdoors, common detection methods include inspection methods, acoustic wave methods, infrared thermometry methods, endoscopy detection methods, etc. The existing endoscopy method uses video to monitor and photograph the internal deposition, pipe damage, foreign object penetration, leakage, branch pipe hidden connection, etc. of the pipe, and can clearly see and record the internal condition of the pipe over a long distance. Then the video is transmitted to the main control machine for storage, and the staff can understand the operation condition of the pipe and the degree of damage of the pipe after analyzing the video data. However, the endoscopy method will affect the normal operation of the heating pipes, and manual operation is required during detection, which is not easy to take and place, and the abnormal positions of the pipes cannot be marked and located, which is rather troublesome. If the entire section of the heating pipe needs to be manually detected, the workload is huge and very laborious. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Specific embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1-13, A device for external inspection of a heat supply pipeline network, used to detect the heat supply pipeline 1, including an inspection component 2 sleeved outside the heat supply pipeline 1. The inspection component 2 includes a housing 22, an auxiliary crawling part 21, a crawling part 23, a detection part 24, a spraying part 25, and a magnetization part 26. The housing 22 is in a circular ring shape. The auxiliary crawling part 21 is arranged at the openings at both ends of the housing 22. The crawling part 23 is slidably arranged at both ends of the housing 22. The detection part 24 and the spraying part 25 are both arranged on the inner surface of the housing 22. The magnetization part 26 is fixedly arranged on the crawling part 23;
[0039] The housing 22 includes four arc-shaped plates 221. The arc-shaped plates 221 are spliced in sequence to form a ring. Four gaps are respectively formed between adjacent two arc-shaped plates 221, which are the first gap, the second gap, the third gap, and the fourth gap in sequence. The first gap is opposite to the third gap, and the second gap is opposite to the fourth gap. An expansion member 224 is arranged at the second gap and the fourth gap. A hinge seat 226 is arranged at the first gap. The arc-shaped plates 221 at both ends of the first gap are hinged through the hinge seat 226. A locking member 225 is arranged at the third gap. The arc-shaped plates 221 at both ends of the third gap are connected or separated through the locking member 225.

[0040] Furthermore, there are eight auxiliary crawling parts 21 and eight crawling parts 23. Two auxiliary crawling parts 21 located on the same arc-shaped plate 221 form a group, and two crawling parts 23 located on the same arc-shaped plate 221 form a group. One group of crawling parts 23 corresponds to one group of auxiliary crawling parts 21. A flange 11 is arranged at the connection of the heat supply pipeline 1. A plurality of reinforcing plates 12 are arranged on the side of the flange 11. The rollers 211 and the crawling wheels 232 are aligned with the reinforcing plates 12 along the direction parallel to the axis of the heat supply pipeline 1, and the rollers 211 and the crawling wheels 232 can roll on the inclined surfaces of the reinforcing plates 12.
[0041] Furthermore, the auxiliary crawling part 21 includes a connecting plate 214 and a support rod 212.

If any abnormal situation is found, the sensor 241 or the camera device 242 will transmit the signal to the control part 29. After receiving the signal, the control part 29 starts the first motor 254. The output shaft of the first motor 254 rotates, driving the first bevel gear 2541 to rotate. The second bevel gear 2551 meshing with the first bevel gear 2541 rotates, driving the lead screw 255 to rotate. The piston plate 252 threadedly connected with the lead screw 255 rotates, and the piston plate 252 moves in the spraying tank 251, squeezing the spraying liquid. The spraying liquid flows out from the nozzle 256 and sprays onto the outer wall of the heat supply pipeline 1 to mark the abnormal part of the heat supply pipeline 1, which is convenient for the staff to find and repair. The photoelectric shaft angle encoder 28 will detect the displacement and position information of the crawling part 23.
[0050] When crossing the flange 11, the auxiliary crawling part 21 and the crawling part 23 cross in sequence. The roller 211 on the side close to the flange 11 rolls along the inclined surface of the reinforcing plate 12. At this time, the support rod 212 rotates outward towards the outside of the heating pipeline 1, and the first spring 213 is compressed. When the roller 211 moves to the reinforcing plate 12, the support rod 212 resets under the action of the first spring 213 and rotates inward towards the inside of the heating pipeline 1, making the roller 211 roll closely along the reinforcing plate 12. When the crawling wheel 232 moves to the flange 11, the crawling wheel 232 rolls along the inclined surface of the reinforcing plate 12, and the connecting rod 234 slides away from the heating pipeline 1 along the through hole 2211. The fourth spring 233 is compressed, and the fifth spring 235 is stretched. At the same time, the plugging block 2242 and the first connecting column 2243 move away from each other, and the second spring 223 is stretched, and the entire inspection component 2 expands slightly. When the crawling wheel 232 on the side close to the flange 11 moves to the reinforcing plate 12, the connecting rod 234 gradually resets under the action of the fourth spring 233 and the fifth spring 235 and moves towards the direction close to the heating pipeline 1. At the same time, the crawling wheel 232 is made to roll closely along the reinforcing plate 12. The first convex block 2241 and the second convex block 2244 approach each other again under the action of the second spring 223, and the entire inspection component 2 resets. At this time, the auxiliary crawling part 21 and the crawling part 23 on one side complete the crossing. When the crawling wheel 232 on the other side crosses the flange 11, the actions of each part are the same as above. When encountering an obstacle that cannot be crossed, the locking part 225 can be opened, the entire inspection component 2 can be removed, moved over the obstacle, and then sleeved outside the heating pipeline 1 and the locking part 225 is locked. Repeating the above process can achieve the purpose. The magnetization part 26 and the sensor 241 provided in the device are used in combination, which can find the leakage points of the heating pipeline 1 in all directions. And a camera device 242 is provided, which can detect the overall appearance of the outside of the heating pipeline 1, facilitating the detection of the corrosion condition of the pipeline. The spraying part 25 can mark the abnormal parts of the pipeline in time, facilitating the staff to find and repair. The provided crawling part 23 enables the inspection component 2 to automatically crawl along the heating pipeline 1. The surface of the crawling wheel 232 is an arc that fits the heating pipeline 1, which increases the stability of the entire inspection component 2 during movement. The auxiliary crawling part 21 can play a guiding and supporting role, making the entire device have better flexibility. The entire device is automated through the control part 29, controlling the movement of the device and the detection of the pipeline, and can also inspect the heating pipeline 1 when it is working, which is very convenient.
