Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum transportation technology, specifically a petroleum pipeline support and fixing device used in petroleum engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Petroleum, also known as crude oil, is a brownish-black, flammable, viscous liquid extracted from deep underground. Petroleum is primarily used as fuel oil and gasoline, which together constitute one of the world's most important primary energy sources. Petroleum pipeline systems, used to transport petroleum and petroleum products, mainly consist of pipelines, pumping stations, and other auxiliary equipment, and are among the key pieces of equipment in the petroleum storage and transportation industry. Pipeline support and fixing equipment is required during the installation and fixing of petroleum pipelines. Existing petroleum pipeline support equipment has the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Existing oil pipeline support and fixing equipment is usually structurally fixed, making it difficult to adjust the height of the oil pipeline to adapt to different environments, thus failing to meet the support and protection requirements of oil pipelines in different environments.

[0004] 2. Furthermore, since oil pipelines are transported in the open, they are easily affected by external forces such as wind, causing them to shift on the pipeline support. If the position of the oil pipeline changes, it is easy for oil to leak at the pipeline connection, resulting in waste of resources, reduced transportation efficiency, and a high risk of safety accidents.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pipeline support and fixing device for petroleum engineering that can freely adjust its height and monitor leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems of inability to adapt to various environmental heights and difficulty in monitoring leaks, the present invention aims to provide an oil pipeline support and fixing device for petroleum engineering, which can adapt to different environments and monitor leaks by adjusting the height of the support point and adding sensors.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an oil pipeline support and fixing device for petroleum engineering, comprising an outer shell, electric control cylinders fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom inner wall of the outer shell, support legs fixedly connected to the bottom of each electric control cylinder, a level fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, a support opening provided at the top of the outer shell, a spring frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell, a support body fixedly connected to the top of the spring frame, and an oil detection sensor provided at the top of the support body.

[0008] The basic principle of the installation scheme is as follows: During installation, referring to the already installed pipeline, first use a level to find a suitable height and position, ensuring that the pipeline is on the same horizontal line and straight without any bends or tilts. Then, activate the electric cylinder to extend the support bracket, fix it in place, and level again using the level. The height of the support bracket can be adjusted as needed using the electric cylinder. The spring frame raises the support body from the support opening to above the top of the outer casing, allowing the support body to better support the pipeline. When the top of the support body comes into contact with oil, the sensor sends an alarm signal.

[0009] The basic design offers several advantages: Leveling with a spirit level ensures smooth and stable connections between pipes; the varying extension heights of the electrically controlled cylinders at different locations maintain pipe stability on uneven surfaces, enhancing equipment flexibility; sensors detect oil leaks, providing real-time and accurate alarm signals, saving troubleshooting time and reducing the accident rate. Pipelines are typically installed in exposed, open areas, making them susceptible to displacement or damage from external impacts. Spring supports cushion and absorb shocks when pipes are subjected to external impacts, enhancing the system's pressure resistance.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the two side walls of the outer casing is rotatably connected to a single-sided ball screw structure. Each single-sided ball screw structure includes a screw, and each screw is threadedly connected to a nut seat. Each nut seat is fixedly connected to a clamping body. The threads on the screws are in opposite directions. Each single-sided ball screw structure is located in a moving groove, and each clamping body is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped guide plate on its side.

[0011] The basic solution offers the following advantages: When the pipe is placed on the support, rotating the screw and nut causes the clamping body to move closer to the pipe's side wall. Rotating the screw in the opposite direction causes the clamping body to move closer to the other side wall of the pipe. During clamping, gaps are usually left between the hard layers, preventing full clamping. The arc-shaped guide plate allows the clamping body to fully contact the pipe, improving the clamping effect. It also enhances the system's vibration damping and improves equipment stability, thus achieving the goal of clamping the pipe. Rotating the screw in the opposite direction allows the pipe to be loosened for replacement. The reverse screw thread direction makes it easier to identify the rotation direction and reduces failure costs in case of malfunction. Flexible pipe replacement shortens maintenance time.

[0012] Furthermore, a movable groove is provided on the top of the outer casing.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: the clamping body can be adjusted arbitrarily along the screw direction; if the pipeline sways during operation, it will hit the moving tank wall, thereby limiting the swaying direction and enhancing the stability of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotating handle is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw away from the support body, and an anti-slip rubber strip is fixedly connected to the rotating handle.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the basic solution are: the rotating handle drives the lead screw to rotate coaxially, the rotating handle can amplify the rotation angle, saving effort during rotation, the anti-slip rubber strip can increase friction in rainy environments, making clamping operation easier, and the anti-slip rubber strip can also protect the rotating handle from weathering damage in the natural environment.

[0016] Furthermore, a buffer layer is provided at the contact points between the support and the pipe. The buffer layer is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped guide plate and forms a two-thirds circle that wraps around the pipe.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: the buffer layer can buffer the impact force on the pipeline, and the arc-shaped guide plate and the buffer layer fully wrap the pipeline. No matter where the leak occurs, due to the guiding and diversion effect of the arc-shaped guide plate and the buffer layer, the leaked oil will converge to the lowest point of the buffer layer for easy collection and treatment.

[0018] Furthermore, the top buffer layer of the support is provided with several filter holes.

[0019] The benefits of the basic solution are: in the event of an oil leak, the oil can be centrally processed through the filter holes, reducing losses and filtering impurities, thus minimizing pollution from the leaked oil. Furthermore, since oil leaks pose a flammable and explosive hazard in the natural environment, collecting the oil can buy time for maintenance and enhance system safety.

[0020] Furthermore, the support body has a collection chamber inside, the filter holes are connected to the collection chamber, and a piston is slidably connected to the inner wall of the collection chamber.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: when the leaked oil flows into the collection chamber after being filtered through the filter holes, gravity will cause the piston to move downwards, flexibly increasing the storage space for the leaked oil and reducing the problem of secondary pollution of oil.

[0022] Furthermore, a telescopic trigger rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston, a switch is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection chamber, and telescopic support rods are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the outer casing near the support feet. The telescopic support rods are connected to the switch signal.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: when the oil is stored to a certain weight, the weight on the equipment increases, the telescopic trigger rod contacts the switch at the bottom of the collection chamber, triggering the extension of the telescopic support rod next to the support leg, and issuing an alarm signal. The extension of the telescopic support rod and the support leg form a triangular mechanism, which enhances the load-bearing capacity of the equipment and reduces the problem of the equipment collapsing due to insufficient load-bearing capacity caused by the increase in the weight of stored oil.

[0024] Furthermore, several springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting cavity, and the bottom of the springs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: during the oil collection process, the spring at the bottom of the collection chamber can further buffer and dampen the collection chamber, enhancing the equipment's pressure resistance.

[0026] Furthermore, anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of each support leg.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the basic solution are: oil pipelines are transported in the open air and are easily affected by external forces such as wind, which can cause the oil pipeline support to shift. The anti-slip pads can reduce the shift and enhance the stability of the system. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of an oil pipeline support and fixing device used in petroleum engineering, as described in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 3 This is a partial sectional view of an oil pipeline support and fixing device used in petroleum engineering according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0032] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: housing 1, electric control cylinder 2, support leg 3, support port 4, spring frame 5, support body 6, lead screw 7, nut seat 8, clamping body 9, arc-shaped guide plate 10, spring 11, anti-slip pad 12, rotating handle 13, moving groove 14, buffer layer 15, filter hole 16, collecting chamber 17, piston 18, telescopic trigger rod 19, switch 20, telescopic support rod 21.

[0033] Example 1, basically as shown in the attached document. Figures 1-3 The diagram shows a pipeline support and fixing device for petroleum engineering, comprising a housing 1. Electric control cylinders 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. Support legs 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each electric control cylinder 2, and anti-slip pads 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each support leg 3. A level is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A support opening 4 is provided at the top of the housing 1. A spring frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 1, and a support body 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring frame 5. Single-sided ball screw structures 7 are rotatably connected to both side walls of the housing 1. Each single-sided ball screw structure includes a screw 7, each screw 7 is threadedly connected to a nut seat 8, and each nut seat 8 is fixedly connected to a clamping body 9. The threads on the screw 7 are in opposite directions, and each single-sided ball screw structure is located within a moving groove 14.

[0034] The top of the outer casing 1 has a moving groove 14 along the movement trajectory of the clamping body 9. A rotating handle 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 7 away from the support body 6, and an anti-slip rubber strip is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 13. A buffer layer 15 is provided at the contact portion between the support body 6 and the pipe.

[0035] The specific implementation process is as follows: During installation, referring to the already installed pipeline, first use a level to find a suitable height and position, ensuring that the pipeline is on the same horizontal line and straight without any bends or tilts. Then, activate the electric control cylinder 2 to extend the support bracket 3. After fixing it in place, use the level again to find the level, and adjust the height of the support bracket 3 as needed using the electric control cylinder 2. Oil pipelines are transported outdoors and are easily affected by external forces such as wind, which can cause the oil pipeline support to shift. The anti-slip pad 12 can reduce the shift and enhance the stability of the system.

[0036] The spring frame 5 raises the support body 6 from the support opening 4 to a height above the top of the outer casing 1, allowing the support body 6 to better support the pipeline. Leveling is achieved using a spirit level, ensuring smooth and stable connections between pipelines. The electric control cylinders 2 extend to different heights at different locations, maintaining pipeline stability on uneven surfaces and enhancing equipment flexibility. Sensors detect oil leaks and issue real-time, accurate alarm signals, saving troubleshooting time and reducing the accident rate. Pipelines are typically installed in exposed, open areas, making them susceptible to displacement or damage from external impacts. The spring frame 5 cushions and absorbs shocks when the pipeline is subjected to external impacts, enhancing the system's pressure resistance.

[0037] The pipe is placed on the support body 6. Rotating the screw 7 causes the nut seat 8 to move the clamping body 9 closer to the side wall of the pipe. Rotating the screw 7 on the other side causes the nut seat 8 to move the clamping body 9 on the other side of the pipe closer to the other side wall of the pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the pipe. Rotating the screw 7 in the opposite direction can loosen the pipe for replacement. The opposite thread direction of the screw 7 makes it easier to identify the direction of rotation and can also reduce the cost of failure when a fault occurs. Flexible pipe replacement can shorten maintenance time.

[0038] The clamping body 9 can be adjusted arbitrarily along the direction of the lead screw. If the pipeline sways during operation, it will hit the wall of the moving groove 14, thereby limiting the sway direction and enhancing the stability of the equipment. The rotating handle 13 rotates, driving the lead screw 7 to rotate coaxially. The rotating handle 13 can amplify the rotation angle, saving effort during rotation. The anti-slip rubber strip can increase friction in rainy environments, facilitating clamping operations. The anti-slip rubber strip can also protect the rotating handle 13 from weathering damage in the natural environment.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The difference from the above embodiments is that the clamping body 9 is fixedly connected to the side with an arc-shaped guide plate 10, the top of the support body 6 is provided with an oil detection sensor, the top buffer layer 15 of the support body 6 is concave and pocket-shaped, the buffer layer 15 and the arc-shaped guide plate 10 are fixedly connected to form a two-thirds circle wrapping the pipe, and the top buffer layer 15 of the support body 6 is provided with a number of filter holes 16. The support body 6 is provided with a collection chamber 17, the filter holes 16 are connected to the collection chamber 17, and a piston 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the collection chamber 17. The bottom of the piston 18 is fixedly connected to a telescopic trigger rod 19, the bottom of the collection chamber 17 is fixedly connected to a switch 20, and the bottom of the outer shell 1 near the four corners of the support bracket 3 is fixedly connected to a telescopic support rod 21, the telescopic support rod 21 and the switch 20 are signal connected. The bottom of the collection chamber 17 is fixedly connected to a number of springs 11, and the bottom of the springs 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell 1.

[0041] The specific implementation process is as follows: When performing the clamping operation, gaps are usually left between the hard layers, which cannot be fully clamped. The arc-shaped guide plate 10 can make the clamping body 9 fully contact the pipeline to improve the clamping effect, and can also enhance the system's shock absorption effect and improve the equipment's stability.

[0042] Oil pipelines, operating in the open, are susceptible to displacement from their supports due to external forces such as wind. This displacement can easily lead to oil leaks. When the top of the support 6 comes into contact with oil, a sensor triggers an alarm. The arc-shaped guide plate 10 and buffer layer 15 fully enclose the pipeline. Regardless of the location of the leak, the guide plate 10 and buffer layer 15 direct the leaking oil to the lowest point of the buffer layer 15. The oil then passes through the filter holes 16 into the collection chamber 17 for centralized processing, reducing losses and filtering impurities, thus minimizing oil contamination. Furthermore, oil leaks pose a flammable and explosive hazard in natural environments; collecting the leaked oil provides time for maintenance and enhances system safety. As the leaked oil flows into the collection chamber 17 after being filtered through the filter holes 16, the piston 18 descends under gravity as the oil volume increases, flexibly increasing the storage space for the leaked oil proportional to the volume, thus reducing secondary pollution.

[0043] When the oil reaches a certain weight, the piston 18 continues to descend, and the telescopic trigger rod 19 contacts the switch 20 at the bottom of the collection chamber 17. This triggers the extension of the telescopic support rod 21 next to the support leg 3, emitting an alarm signal again. The extension of the telescopic support rod 21 forms a triangular mechanism with the support leg 3, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the equipment and reducing the risk of collapse due to insufficient load-bearing capacity caused by the increased weight of stored oil. During the oil collection process in the collection chamber 17, the spring 11 at the bottom of the collection chamber 17 provides further cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing the equipment's pressure resistance and buying time for maintenance.
