Background Art

[0002] Polyurethane lined steel pipes are widely used in the mining industry, mainly for high-pressure sand-carrying fluid transportation. As the use time increases, the polyurethane lining layer gradually wears out. At present, the wear degree of the lining layer is difficult to monitor outside the pipe, resulting in untimely replacement and leakage. In response to the above problems, the prior art solution with patent application number CN202311562941 discloses a method for preparing a service life alarm sensor for a polyurethane lined steel pipe, and a polyurethane-based high-conductivity sensor is made and buried in the lining layer. When the lining layer is worn to a certain height, the conductive part of the sensor is worn and broken, the loop resistance changes, and the alarm signal is triggered. However, during the use of this type of technology, due to the high resistance value of the polyurethane-based conductive sensor element, when the content of conductive substances (such as ions, etc.) in the conveying medium is high, the sensing sensitivity is low. At the same time, the height of the sensor element and the wire penetrating the lining layer is the set warning height, and the sensor element and the wire form a penetrating stress concentration point in the lining layer, forming a structural defect that is easily damaged. In addition, the inner lining of the polyurethane-lined steel pipe is constantly subjected to pressure and impact during transportation, and the polyurethane-based sensor elements embedded inside are prone to fatigue fracture, causing damage to the sensor.

After being kept warm and cross-linked at 120℃ for 14h and slowly cured at room temperature for 100h, the sensor embedding is completed.

[0101] The method of using the conductive sensor is as follows: a multi-channel micro-current monitoring device is installed at the flange to monitor the current generated at each sensor location in real time. When the inner lining layer is under pressure or impact, relative movement occurs between the coil and the magnetic powder-filled polyurethane circular film, and a current signal is generated in the sensor coil, which can monitor whether a large impact or vibration occurs in the pipe; in addition, when the magnetic powder-filled polyurethane circular film disappears due to wear, the coil no longer generates a micro-current signal, indicating that the polyurethane lining at a certain point has been worn to the preset thickness of the sensor. At this time, the corresponding line of the monitoring device sends an alarm to provide a periodic reminder of the wear of the inner wall.

[0102] A polyurethane lined steel pipe monitoring sensor, comprising:

[0103] A polyurethane lined steel pipe monitoring sensor is prepared according to the preparation method of the polyurethane lined steel pipe monitoring sensor described in this embodiment.
