Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of natural gas leakage detection, in particular to a natural gas leakage detection device. Background Art
[0002] Natural gas refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon gases naturally stored in the earth. In petroleum geology, it usually refers to oilfield gas and gasfield gas, which is mainly composed of hydrocarbons and contains non-hydrocarbon gases. Natural gas leakage can cause fires, and when the content in the air reaches a certain level, it can cause people to experience symptoms of hypoxia. When natural gas accumulates in closed environments such as houses and reaches a certain proportion, it can easily trigger a powerful explosion.
[0003] Existing natural gas needs to be transported through pipelines when in use, but the joints of the pipelines are often prone to leakage. When the natural gas in the pipeline leaks, it will cause safety hazards. The existing natural gas leak detection device is installed on the connecting flange of the pipeline, but it needs to be sleeved on the flange before the pipeline is installed. When the leak detection device is damaged, it is inconvenient to repair and replace it. In addition, the existing leak detection device does not have a pressure relief function. When the internal pressure of the leak detection device is high, it is easy to cause the leak detection device to be damaged, and eventually it will cause natural gas leakage.

[0028] The sealing assembly 2 includes a gas detector 21, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the semicircular sleeves 1. Semicircular rings 22 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the two semicircular sleeves 1. Ring grooves 23 are provided on the inner walls of the four semicircular rings 22. Semicircular sealing rings 24 are clamped inside the four ring grooves 23. Arc rings 25 are clamped inside the four ring grooves 23. Arc plates 26 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the four arc rings 25. The four arc plates 26 are clamped on the inner walls of the four arc openings 27. The arc-shaped openings 27 are provided on the outer walls of the four semicircular rings 22. The other ends of the four arc plates 26 are respectively inserted into the four arc slots 29. The four arc slots 29 are provided on the surfaces of the two swivel rings 28. The two semicircular sleeves 1 are sleeved on both ends of the flange of the pipeline, and then the arc plates 26 are inserted into the corresponding arc slots 29. The arc slots 29 are rotated to drive the arc plates 26 to slide inside the arc-shaped openings 27, and then the arc plates 26 are driven to rotate the arc ring 25 through the arc plate 26, so that the arc ring 25 blocks the connection of the four semicircular sealing rings 24.
[0029] Specifically, the fixing assembly 3 includes four fixing blocks 31, which are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls at both ends of the two semicircular sleeves 1. The four fixing blocks 31 are rotatably connected to the rotating shafts 32, and the four rotating shafts 32 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped plates 33. The inner walls of the four U-shaped plates 33 are clamped on the inner walls of the four arc grooves 35. The four arc grooves 35 are opened on the surfaces of the four fixing bars 34. The four U-shaped plates 33 are rotated so that the inner walls of the U-shaped plates 33 are clamped in the arc grooves 35 on the four fixing bars 34. In this way, the fixing bars 34 can be fixed to the fixing blocks 31, thereby fixing the position of the arc ring 25.
[0030] Specifically, the locking assembly 4 includes a fixing column 41, and the four fixing columns 41 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the four semicircular rings 22. The four fixing columns 41 are clamped on the inner walls of the two clamping rings 42. The outer walls of both ends of the two clamping rings 42 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 43. The four connecting blocks 43 are provided with threaded holes 44. The interiors of the four threaded holes 44 are threadedly connected with bolts 45. The four bolts 45 are inserted into the interiors of four sockets 46. The four sockets 46 are provided on the outer walls of the two rotating rings 28. The two ends of the clamping ring 42 are clamped in the corresponding fixing columns 41. The two symmetrical semicircular rings 22 are clamped and fixed to each other through the clamping ring 42, so that the semicircular sealing rings 24 in the two semicircular rings 22 can be stably sealed.
[0031] Specifically, the exhaust assembly 5 includes a gas pipe 51, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower end of a semicircular sleeve 1. The other end of the gas pipe 51 is fixedly connected to a strip pipe 52, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the semicircular sleeve 1. A piston 53 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the strip pipe 52, and one end of the piston 53 is fixedly connected to a push rod 54. A trigger 55 is movably sleeved inside the strip pipe 52. A through hole 56 is provided at one end of the strip pipe 52. When natural gas leaks from the flange of the pipeline, natural gas will be input into the strip pipe 52 through the gas pipe 51, and the pressure of the natural gas will push the piston 53 to move, so that the piston 53 pushes the push rod 54 to move. After the push rod 54 moves, it hits the trigger 55, and the trigger 55 sends an alarm signal to remind people of natural gas leakage. At the same time, the pressure in the semicircular sleeve 1 is relieved through the strip pipe 52 through the moving piston 53 and trigger 55, preventing the leak detection device from being damaged and leaking due to excessive pressure.
[0032] Specifically, the inner wall of the semicircular sealing ring 24 corresponds to the inner wall of the arc ring 25 , so that the arc ring 25 can block the gap at the connection of the semicircular sealing ring 24 .
[0033] Specifically, four fixing bars 34 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two swivels 28 , and the swivels 28 can be fixed by the fixing bars 34 .
[0034] Specifically, both ends of the clamping ring 42 are provided with grooves that are mutually clamped with the fixing column 41 , so that the clamping ring 42 is stably clamped on the surface of the fixing column 41 .
[0035] Specifically, the through hole 56 is provided at one end of the strip tube 52 away from the gas delivery pipe 51 , so that the gas in the strip tube 52 is discharged through the through hole 56 .
[0036] When in use, first clamp the four semicircular sealing rings 24 into the four annular grooves 23, then clamp the four arc rings 25 into the four annular grooves 23, and finally sleeve the two semicircular sleeves 1 onto the two ends of the flange of the pipe, and then insert the arc plate 26 into the corresponding arc clamping groove 29, rotate the arc clamping groove 29 to drive the arc plate 26 to slide inside the arc opening 27, and then drive the arc ring 25 to rotate through the arc plate 26, so that the arc ring 25 blocks the connection of the four semicircular sealing rings 24, and then rotate the four U-shaped plates 33 to make the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 33 clamped into the arc groove 35 on the four fixing bars 34, so that the fixing bars 34 can be fixed correspondingly to the fixing blocks 31, thereby fixing the position of the arc ring 25, and then Then, the two ends of the clamping ring 42 are clamped in the corresponding fixing columns 41, and the two symmetrical semicircular rings 22 are clamped and fixed to each other through the clamping ring 42, so that the semicircular sealing rings 24 in the two semicircular rings 22 can stably seal each other. When natural gas leaks from the flange of the pipeline, natural gas will be input into the strip tube 52 through the gas pipeline 51, and the piston 53 is pushed to move by the pressure of the natural gas, so that the piston 53 pushes the push rod 54 to move. After the push rod 54 moves, it hits the trigger 55, and the trigger 55 sends an alarm signal to remind of the natural gas leakage. At the same time, the pressure in the semicircular sleeve 1 is relieved through the strip tube 52 through the moving piston 53 and the trigger 55, so as to prevent the leak detection device from being damaged and leaking due to excessive pressure.
