Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of conveying pipelines, and particularly relates to a method for repairing damages of a multi-way oil pipe. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of energy demand, the extraction and transportation technologies of oil, natural gas and chemical products face higher requirements for pipeline performance. However, for multi-way oil pipes, there are many problems in traditional designs. For example, the splicing and forming process used not only has a complex process, but also results in weak joints, poor sealing performance and insufficient durability, making it difficult to cope with complex high-temperature, high-pressure and corrosive environments. Any minor damage may trigger more serious safety accidents such as rupture and leakage, increasing potential safety hazards. Therefore, the immediate damage repair of multi-way oil pipes is of great significance.

[0003] In the prior art, most repair methods rely on manual repair and external reinforcement, with limited restoration effect on the pressure-bearing capacity of pipelines, and the repair process cannot achieve immediate response.

[0004] Although fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been used in the health monitoring of composite structures in the prior art. For example, a patent application with the publication number CN102564332A discloses a method for embedding FBG sensors into three-dimensional braided composite parts to monitor the strain and damage inside the material. However, the technical solution of this patent application only monitors the damage inside the material and does not disclose how to perform damage repair. If manual repair methods are used, the ideal repair effect still cannot be achieved, and due to the time lag of manual repair response, it is impossible to immediately repair the damage.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to research a method for repairing damages of multi-way oil pipes with immediate and automated repair. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and provide a method for repairing damages of a multi-way oil pipe.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A method for repairing damages of a multi-way oil pipe (i.e., an oil pipe with three or more connection ports), fixing an optical fiber sensor, a resistance wire, a first microcapsule and a second microcapsule at the pipe connection or branch of the multi-way oil pipe. When the optical fiber sensor detects damage at the pipe connection or branch of the multi-way oil pipe, power is supplied to the resistance wire to make the resistance wire heat up, causing the first microcapsule to rupture and release a second liquid resin, and at the same time causing the second microcapsule to rupture and release a second curing agent. The second liquid resin and the second curing agent undergo a second curing reaction, thus completing the repair.

[0009] The multi - way oil pipe is obtained from a first liquid resin, a first curing agent, and a multi - way oil pipe preform;

[0010] After the resistance wire generates heat, the temperature is lower than the glass transition temperatures of the first liquid resin and the second liquid resin, preventing the resin from softening or flowing out prematurely and affecting the repair effect.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution:

[0012] For a method for repairing damage to a multi - way oil pipe as described above, the fiber optic sensor is an optical fiber with multiple Bragg gratings engraved on its surface, which can respond and send a trigger signal within 1 - 2 seconds after damage occurs.

[0013] For a method for repairing damage to a multi - way oil pipe as described above, the number of fiber optic sensors is multiple and arranged in parallel, and the distance between two adjacent fiber optic sensors is 2 - 4 mm. For example, the number of fiber optic sensors is 3 - 6;

[0014] For a method for repairing damage to a multi - way oil pipe as described above, the duration of energizing the resistance wire ≤ 40 s; the temperature after the resistance wire generates heat reaches 85 - 89 °C; the wall materials of the first microcapsule and the second microcapsule are one of polyurethane and polystyrene; the second liquid resin is one of unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, and bismaleimide resin, and the second curing agent is one of acid anhydride, peroxide initiator, dicyandiamide, imidazole, and polyetheramine. The second liquid resin and the second curing agent can undergo a second curing reaction at 20 - 60 °C, and can quickly restore the sealing performance and strength at the connection or branch of the oil pipe.

[0015] For a method for repairing damage to a multi - way oil pipe as described above, the mass ratio of the second liquid resin to the second curing agent is 100:1.5 - 90.

[0016] For a method for repairing damage to a multi - way oil pipe as described above, the preparation process of the multi - way oil pipe is: after injecting the mixture of the first liquid resin and the first curing agent into the multi - way oil pipe preform, a first curing reaction is carried out to obtain the multi - way oil pipe. Among them, the multi - way oil pipe preform is woven from yarns. In this way, a seamless integral - formed structure can be obtained through the weaving process, which is beneficial to improving the connection strength and sealing performance at the branch of the multi - way oil pipe.

[0017] For a method for repairing damage to a multi - way oil pipe as described above, the implementation method of fixing the fiber optic sensor at the connection or branch of the multi - way oil pipe is: during the process of weaving the multi - way oil pipe preform, when weaving the connection or branch of the multi - way oil pipe preform, the fiber optic sensor and the yarn are combined and woven together, so as to ensure that the fiber optic sensor is stably and reliably fixed at the connection or branch of the multi - way oil pipe.

[0018] For a method of repairing damage to a multi-way oil pipe as described above, the implementation of fixing the resistance wire at the pipe connection or branch of the multi-way oil pipe is as follows: During the process of braiding the preform of the multi-way oil pipe, when braiding the pipe connection or branch of the preform of the multi-way oil pipe, the resistance wire and the yarn are combined and braided together, so as to ensure that the resistance wire is stably and reliably fixed at the pipe connection or branch of the multi-way oil pipe.

[0019] For a method of repairing damage to a multi-way oil pipe as described above, the implementation of fixing the first microcapsule and the second microcapsule at the pipe connection or branch of the multi-way oil pipe is as follows: During the process of braiding the preform of the multi-way oil pipe, when braiding the pipe connection or branch of the preform of the multi-way oil pipe, the first microcapsule and the second microcapsule are incorporated into the central position of the preform of the multi-way oil pipe by using the round tube braiding process.

[0020] For a method of repairing damage to a multi-way oil pipe as described above, the axial tensile strength of the repaired multi-way oil pipe is 91-95% of the axial tensile strength of the multi-way oil pipe before damage. The repaired multi-way oil pipe does not leak during the sealing test and can maintain good performance in the actual working environment.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) In the present invention, the optical fiber sensor, the resistance wire, the first microcapsule and the second microcapsule are fixed at the pipe connection or branch of the multi-way oil pipe. When the optical fiber sensor detects damage, the system automatically triggers the resistance wire to heat up, causing the first microcapsule to rupture and release the second liquid resin, and at the same time causing the second microcapsule to rupture and release the second curing agent. The second liquid resin reacts with the second curing agent to repair the damage at the pipe connection or branch. It not only realizes the instant and rapid detection of damage to the multi-way oil pipe, but also can immediately start the repair process automatically after detecting the damage, quickly restore the pipe sealing performance, without shutdown or manual intervention, realizing instant and automatic repair of damage, and significantly improving the repair efficiency.

[0023] (2) The method for repairing damage to the multi-way oil pipe of the present invention is easy to operate, reduces the maintenance cost, and is applicable to scenarios with high requirements for pipe sealing performance in industries such as oil extraction and chemical transportation.
