Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and gas pipeline plugging technology, and in particular to a hydraulic control system for a plugging device. Background Technology

[0002] my country's total oil and gas pipeline mileage has reached 165,000 kilometers, and it is projected to exceed 240,000 kilometers by 2025. As pipelines age, corrosion and leakage accidents are increasingly common due to external interference, environmental corrosion, or material defects caused by immature early materials technology, making pipeline failure a growing problem. Repair and maintenance operations, such as replacing failed pipelines or control hydraulic valves, adding branches, modifying pipeline lines, and replacing pipe sections, are becoming more frequent, leading to increased attention being paid to pipeline sealing and repair equipment and related technologies.

[0003] For the repair and maintenance of oil and gas transportation pipelines, the first step in dealing with damaged pipeline sections is to seal the damaged areas. Currently, sealing devices for oil and gas pipeline repair and maintenance are mainly divided into two types: 1. Live-line tapping sealing devices, and 2. Pipeline robotic sealing devices. Compared with traditional live-line tapping sealing devices, pipeline robotic sealing devices have significant advantages: they eliminate the need for tapping, reducing the scale of construction, lowering costs, and minimizing damage to the pipeline. The working principle of the pipeline robotic sealing device is that it enters the pipeline from the pipe opening. Driven by the pipeline cleaning power module, the intelligent pipeline sealing robot, propelled by the medium, reaches the section of the pipeline that needs to be sealed and squeezes the rubber cartridge to achieve the sealing operation.

[0004] Existing plugging device control systems employ either single-sided or multi-sided sealing cylinder configurations, each with its own problems: The single-sided hydraulic cylinder makes it difficult to control the propulsion force, which greatly affects the sealing efficiency and stability of the plug.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a hydraulic control system for a plugger provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0020] See Figure 1 As can be seen, this embodiment provides a hydraulic control system for a plugging device, the control system being arranged around the plugging device, and the control system includes: The parameter acquisition module 100 is configured to acquire the pressure parameters inside the pipeline where the plug is located, and generate an adjustment strategy based on the pressure parameters. Specifically, in this embodiment, the parameter acquisition module 100 is used to acquire the pressure parameters inside the pipeline where the plug is located. The parameters include the pressure parameters of the plug and the displacement parameters of the plug.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the hydraulic valve adjustment module 200 contains several hydraulic valves, and the control of subsequent cylinders is achieved through the adjustment between each hydraulic valve. The hydraulic valve adjustment module 200 is filled with hydraulic oil and, through electrical connection with the parameter acquisition module 100, realizes electro-hydraulic control of the plugging device control system.

[0023] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the hydraulic valve regulating module 200 includes: An electro-hydraulic proportional multi-way valve 210 has a plurality of plate valves, and the electro-hydraulic proportional multi-way valve 210 is configured to drive the opening or closing of each of its internal plate valves according to the adjustment strategy.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connector 211 is used to uniformly supply oil to all the valves, thereby achieving unified management of all valves. Each valve corresponds to two sealing cylinders, that is, one valve manages two sealing cylinders. The last connector 216 serves to connect all the valves.

[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first connector 211 includes a three-way flow control valve 2111, a first relief valve 2112, a pilot oil filter 2113, and a pilot oil pressure reducing valve 2114; the pilot oil pressure reducing valve 2114 is connected to the oil supply module 400, the pilot oil filter 2113, the pilot oil pressure reducing valve 2114, and the three-way flow control valve 2111 are connected in sequence, and the first relief valve 2112 is connected in parallel between the pilot oil filter 2113 and the three-way flow control valve 2111.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the oil bladder 420 squeezes the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 410 into the hydraulic valve regulating module 200 to prevent the oil tank from rotating in the pipeline and the oil suction port from being at the top, resulting in a situation where oil cannot be sucked in.

[0041] An air filter 430 is disposed at the upper end of the oil tank 410. The air filter 430 is configured to filter air in the hydraulic oil. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air filter 430 is used to prevent negative pressure from occurring in the oil tank after the hydraulic oil enters the system.

The return oil filter 440 is configured to filter the hydraulic oil returning from the hydraulic valve regulating module 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the return oil filter 440 filters impurities in the return oil.

[0043] This embodiment has the following advantages: 1. The hydraulic control system of the plugging device adopts an electro-hydraulic proportional control system, allowing for direct on-site observation and intervention without manual intervention. Using an electro-hydraulic proportional valve as the main control element, the system continuously and proportionally controls the pressure, flow rate, and direction of the fluid flow according to the magnitude of the input signal (current), preventing shock phenomena during pressure or speed changes. It can easily achieve automatic control, remote control, and program control.

[0044] 2. The sealing cylinders can be divided into multiple groups, arranged symmetrically along the circumference. This prevents uneven stress from causing ineffective sealing. Following the redundancy principle, even if one group of cylinders fails, the other two groups can still provide an effective seal.
