Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline detection, and in particular to a device for detecting gas leakage in a buried pipeline. Background Art
[0002] Gas pipelines are an important part of urban municipal construction. The landfill environment and landfill time will affect the sealing of the pipelines, making them at risk of leakage. This kind of leakage is usually at an unknown location, and the leakage rate is generally small at the beginning, but it is not ruled out that the leakage volume will accumulate or the pipeline will be damaged over time. Because the buried pipeline has a certain depth, when the pipeline leaks, the rescue personnel cannot intuitively determine the specific leakage location and repair it. Generally, they make judgments by continuously excavating the covering soil layer, operating the detection settings from the outside, and combining personal experience. The judgment process of this leakage point is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the accuracy is poor.

[0004] The above device detects leaks from the outside of the pipeline. The gas needs to pass through the soil layer and diffuse into the air. This process reduces its concentration. Therefore, the error is large when detecting gas leaks from the outside, and it is difficult to detect the location of a small amount of leaks. During the detection process, the device needs to be manually pushed along the pipeline, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also the movement trajectory is affected by the road conditions and deviates. It is also difficult to ensure the accuracy of the detection, which is not conducive to locating the leak point. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Embodiment 1
[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a detection device for gas leakage in a buried pipeline proposed by the present invention comprises a detection cylinder 1, a driving member 4, an adjusting member 5, a sealing member 2 and a detection member 3. The detection cylinder 1 connects two adjacent sections of the pipeline through the mounting flange 101 to form a detection section; by setting the detection section at intervals along the buried pipeline, the buried pipeline is segmented for gas leakage detection. The driving member 4 is located inside the detection cylinder 1, and a rotating driving end is arranged on both sides thereof. The bottom of the adjusting member 5 extends into the ground, and cooperates with the driving member 4 in transmission, and the top extends out of the ground for operation by the staff; the staff can drive through the adjusting member 5 to start the driving member 4 by operating on the ground, and then start the subsequent detection work. Two groups of sealing members 2 are arranged in a mirror image on both sides of the driving member 4, covering the tube mouth of the detection cylinder 1, and each group of sealing members 2 is a double-layer structure. The double-layer structure drives the upper and lower layers to rotate alternately through the rotating driving end to achieve single-sided blocking / unblocking of the pipeline; by cooperating with the two groups of devices, the two ends of the pipeline can be blocked, and the sealed blocking section can be tested for gas leakage. In the non-detection state, the gas can still flow through the pipeline. The detection component 3 is arranged on the side of the sealing component 2 facing the tube mouth of the detection tube 1, and the detection function is activated when the pipeline is blocked. Through the cooperation of the two sets of devices, the corresponding detection components 3 detect the gas leakage in the blocking section from both ends. Embodiment 2
[0024] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, this embodiment discloses the specific structures of the sealing member 2 and the detection member 3 .
[0025] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the sealing member 2 includes a fixed ventilation disk 201 and a rotating disk 202 coaxially arranged on one side of the ventilation disk 201, and the two form a double-layer structure; the ventilation disk 201 is closer to the tube mouth of the detection tube 1 than the rotating disk 202, and a ventilation port 1 2011 is arranged on it; the ventilation port 2021 and the blocking member 2022 are staggered on the rotating disk 202; the ventilation port 2021 and the blocking member 2022 are respectively opposite / staggered with the ventilation port 1 2011 as the rotating disk 202 rotates. When the ventilation port 2021 is opposite to the ventilation port 1 2011, the gas circulates in the pipeline and enters the gas supply mode. When the blocking member 2022 is opposite to the ventilation port 1 2011, the pipeline is blocked and enters the detection mode.
[0026] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, a mounting groove 2023 is provided at the center of the rotating disk 202; a through hole 2012 is provided on the ventilation disk 201, which is opposite to the notch of the mounting groove 2023; the detection member 3 is installed on the mounting groove 2023, and its detection end enters and exits the through hole 2012 as the rotating disk 202 rotates. When the vent 2021 is opposite to the vent 1 2011, the gas circulates in the pipeline and enters the gas supply mode. At this time, the detection member 3 is stored in the through hole 2012 and enters the dormant state. When the blocking member 2022 is opposite to the vent 1 2011, the pipeline is blocked and enters the detection mode. At this time, the detection member 3 exposes the detection end toward the pipeline side and enters the activated state.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the detection member 3 includes a mounting seat 302; the mounting seat 302 is threadedly connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 2023, and horizontal movement is achieved by rotating the rotating disk 202; a passive laser gas detector 301 is arranged in the through hole 2012; the non-detection end of the passive laser gas detector 301 extends into the mounting groove 2023, connected to the mounting seat 302, the detection end is opposite to the opening of the through hole 2012, and a guide block 303 is arranged on the side wall and is slidably connected to the hole wall of the through hole 2012, and a position sensor is also arranged. When the rotating disk 202 rotates, the mounting seat 302 is pushed forward and backward, so that the detection end of the passive laser gas detector 301 extends out, and after the position sensor is touched by the guide block 303, the passive laser gas detector 301 is activated, and the pipeline can be detected for gas leakage. The detection principle is as follows: According to Lambert-Beer's law, gas molecules have absorption characteristics for lasers of specific wavelengths. The detection laser will be absorbed and attenuated by the methane molecules, the main component of the gas, and the attenuation degree has a stable proportional relationship with the gas concentration. In addition, passive means that the monitoring optical terminal at the detection site does not need power supply to work. Ultimately, safe, multi-point, real-time, continuous, long-distance, stable and reliable detection of gas pipelines is achieved. Embodiment 3
[0028] On the basis of the above embodiments, this embodiment discloses the structure of the driving member 4 and the adjusting member 5 to realize the control of the sealing member 2 and the detecting member 3 .

The staff drives the driving shaft 405 to rotate through the adjusting member 5 on the ground. Through the transmission of the gear 1 403 and the gear 2 404, the two sets of rotating shafts 401 are driven to rotate synchronously and in the opposite direction, and finally the relative rotation of the rotating disk 202 and the ventilation disk 201 is realized, and the two sets of double-layer structures are synchronously blocked / unblocked. In addition, the passive laser gas detector 2 6 can be activated synchronously with the passive laser gas detector 1 301 to detect gas leaks in the space between the two sets of seals 2, which can verify the sealing performance of the double-layer structure on the one hand and reduce detection blind spots on the other hand, making it easier to locate the leak point.

The staff rotates the operating frame 502, which drives the adjusting rod 501 to rotate and drives the driving shaft 405 to rotate synchronously. The operating frame 502 can also be set to be electronically controlled, and driven by a motor, the detection section can detect multiple points. Embodiment 4

The staff starts the charging and discharging equipment on the ground, and the gas enters and exits the air box 406 through the air cavity and the air head 407. Then the blocking airbag enters and exits through the pipe 408 to control its expansion / contraction and adjust the sealing performance of the double-layer structure.
[0033] It should be further explained that the regulating rod 501 is hollow, the bottom end is connected to the air cavity, the top end is provided with an air valve 503, and the outside is sleeved with a protective tube.
