Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-temperature stop valve vibration sensing detection, and in particular to a low-temperature stop valve vibration detection device and detection method. Background Art

[0002] Cryogenic globe valves are valves specifically designed to operate in cryogenic environments, typically at relatively low operating temperatures. Widely used in cryogenic liquid media systems such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquid oxygen, and liquid nitrogen, these valves precisely control and interrupt the flow of fluids. During operation, loose components within the valve or excessively high media flow rates can cause the valve to emit abnormal noise and significant vibration, potentially affecting normal operation and potentially leading to leakage. Therefore, timely vibration monitoring of cryogenic globe valves is essential.

[0003] In the prior art, flange connections are generally used between the cryogenic shut-off valve and the pipes connected at both ends. In the prior art, vibration detection of the cryogenic shut-off valve is performed by simply installing a vibration sensor on the valve body. The vibration sensor detects the shaking of the valve body to determine whether the valve body is within a safe and usable range.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the internal structure of the cryogenic stop valve determines that there is liquid impact inside it. When the liquid flow rate is fast or lasts for a long time, the vibration generated by the liquid impact may cause the flange connection bolts between the two ends of the cryogenic stop valve and the connected pipes to loosen, thereby posing a risk of leakage. In addition, simply installing a vibration sensor cannot determine the vibration amplitude and direction of the cryogenic stop valve, so improvements are made to this. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to detect the possible leakage risks at the flange connections between the two ends of the low-temperature stop valve and the connected pipes, remove and reinstall the bolts at the risk points and their symmetrical positions, and detect the vibration amplitude and vibration direction of the valve body, the present application provides a low-temperature stop valve vibration detection device and detection method.

[0006] The low-temperature stop valve vibration detection device provided in this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The low-temperature stop valve vibration detection device includes a valve body, a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe, the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe are respectively arranged at the two ends of the valve body through flange connections, and two groups of vibration detection mechanisms are provided on the valve body, and the two groups of vibration detection mechanisms are respectively arranged at the two ends of the valve body and at the connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. The vibration detection mechanism includes a first mounting ring, a mounting seat and a vibration detection assembly, the first mounting ring is arranged on the mounting seat, and the vibration detection assembly is arranged on the first mounting ring, which is used to detect the amplitude and direction of the valve body, and can also be used to detect whether there is a leakage risk in the flange connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. A second mounting ring is also provided on the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, and the second mounting ring is provided with a locking mechanism for re-locking the bolts at the flange connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe where leakage may occur and the bolts at its symmetrical position.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, flange bolts are generally used to connect the two ends of the valve body to the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, and the internal structure of the low-temperature stop valve determines that there is liquid impact inside it. When the flow rate of the liquid is fast or lasts for a long time, the vibration generated by the liquid impact may cause the flange connection bolts between the two ends of the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe to loosen, and the vibration generated by the installation position of the valve body may also cause the flange connection bolts to loosen, thereby causing the risk of leakage. However, the vibration detection component on the first mounting ring in the present application can detect the leakage risk at the connection between the two ends of the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, thereby helping the staff to promptly detect potential leaks. The leakage risk can be dealt with, and the vibration detection component in the present application can also detect the vibration amplitude and direction of the valve body, so as to further assist the staff in investigating and repairing the cause of the vibration of the valve body, and the locking component can detect the detection results of the connection between the two ends of the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe through the vibration detection component, and remove and re-tighten the connecting bolts at the corresponding positions and the connecting bolts at the symmetrical positions, thereby reducing the leakage risk caused by the staff's failure to deal with it in time. Re-tightening the bolts at the position where there may be a leakage risk and the bolts at the symmetrical position can avoid the problem of the flange connection being unable to seal due to unbalanced tightening of the diagonal bolts of the flange, thereby ensuring the tightness and stability of the flange connection.

[0009] Optionally, the vibration detection component includes a mounting ear plate, an infrared temperature sensor and an amplitude detection structure, the first mounting ring is sleeved on the flange of the valve body, and multiple groups of mounting ear plates and the infrared temperature sensors are provided, multiple groups of the mounting ear plates are spaced apart on the side wall of the first mounting ring, multiple groups of the infrared temperature sensors are respectively provided on multiple groups of the mounting ear plates, and the infrared temperature sensors are aligned with the connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. When the connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe is loose due to vibration and leakage may occur, the infrared temperature sensor can detect that the color of the connection where the leakage is about to occur is darker, and the amplitude detection structure is provided on the first mounting ring for detecting the vibration amplitude and direction of the valve body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is a risk of leakage at the connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, the sealing distance between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe will increase. Since the liquid flowing in the valve body is a low-temperature liquid, the temperature at the possible leakage location will become lower. At this time, the infrared temperature sensor installed on the mounting ear plate will detect the possible leakage risk through the temperature drop at the connection, thereby assisting the staff to deal with the potential leakage risk in a timely manner, and the amplitude detection structure can detect the vibration amplitude and direction of the valve body, thereby further assisting the staff to investigate and repair the cause of the vibration of the valve body.

[0011] Optionally, the amplitude detection structure includes a pressure sensor, a mounting bracket, a fixed column, a telescopic column, a first spring and an abutment plate, wherein the pressure sensors are provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of pressure sensors are embedded and arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the first mounting ring, the mounting bracket is provided with multiple groups of the pressure sensors, and the multiple groups of mounting brackets are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the first mounting ring, the fixed column is slidably arranged on the mounting bracket, a socket slot is provided on the fixed column, and the telescopic column is socketed and arranged in the socket slot, the first spring is arranged in the socket slot and is arranged between the fixed column and the telescopic column, and the abutment plate is arranged on the end of the telescopic column away from the fixed column. In an initial state, the abutment plate is in contact with both ends of the valve body, and the fixed column and the pressure sensor just abut against each other. When the valve body vibrates, the telescopic column drives the first spring to squeeze the fixed column, and the vibration amplitude of the valve body is determined by the abutment force between the fixed column and the pressure sensor, and the vibration direction is determined by the abutment between the multiple groups of fixed columns and the multiple groups of pressure sensors.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the valve body vibrates, the vibration of the valve body can cause the telescopic column to retract into the socket through the abutment plate to squeeze the first spring. The deformation of the first spring can transmit the squeezing force to the fixed column, thereby changing the squeezing force between the fixed column and the pressure sensor. The vibration amplitude of the valve body can be known by the change in the squeezing force detected by the pressure sensor, and the vibration direction of the valve body can be known by the output values ​​of multiple sets of pressure sensors, thereby further assisting the staff to investigate and repair the cause of the vibration of the valve body.

[0013] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a bolt head sleeve, a locking plate, a passive gear, a drive assembly and a reset structure, the bolt head sleeve is arranged on the bolt, a locking groove is opened on the bolt head sleeve, the passive gear is rotatably arranged on the second mounting ring, the locking plate is movably arranged on the passive gear, the drive assembly is used to drive the second mounting ring to approach or move away from the first mounting ring, and drive the second mounting ring to rotate forward and reverse, and the reset structure is used to make multiple mutually symmetrical groups of the locking plates extend or retract the passive gear arrangement.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving assembly drives the second mounting ring to approach the first mounting ring, and at the same time drives the second mounting ring to rotate forward until the locking plate on the driven gear enters the locking groove, and then drives the second mounting ring to rotate in the opposite direction, and the bolts are removed under the action of the locking plate and the locking groove. During the disassembly process, under the action of the reset structure, the locking plate is retracted into the driven gear until the disassembly is completed, and the reset structure can also make multiple sets of mutually symmetrical locking plates extend out of the passive gear setting, thereby realizing the disassembly of multiple sets of mutually symmetrical bolts at possible leakage risks. After the disassembly is completed, the second mounting ring is driven forward to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous installation of multiple sets of mutually symmetrical bolts at possible leakage risks, avoiding the problem of the flange connection being unable to be sealed due to unbalanced locking of the diagonal bolts of the flange, and ensuring the tightness and stability of the flange connection.

[0015] The transmission gear of the present invention is connected with the gear train of the said first gear and the gear train is connected with the gear of the said second gear train.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric telescopic rod is started, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is extended to drive the second mounting ring to move in the direction of the first mounting ring. The drive motor is started in the forward direction, and the gear column on the output shaft of the drive motor drives the outer gear ring to rotate. Since the outer gear ring and the inner gear ring are fixedly connected, the inner gear ring can drive the rotation of the passive gear, thereby entering the locking groove through the locking plate on the passive gear. The drive motor is then started in the reverse direction to remove the bolt. After the disassembly is completed, the drive motor is started in the forward direction to install the bolt.

[0017] Optionally, the reset structure includes a reset groove, an electromagnet and a second spring, the reset groove is opened on the side of the passive gear away from the fixed plate, the locking plate is movably arranged in the reset groove, the electromagnet is arranged at the bottom of the reset groove, the second spring is arranged in the reset groove and between the electromagnet and the locking plate, and multiple groups of the electromagnets are respectively electrically connected to multiple groups of the infrared temperature sensors.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the electromagnet is started, the electromagnet can adsorb the locking plate and completely retract it into the reset groove. At this time, the second spring is in a compressed state. After the electromagnet is turned off, the locking plate can be extended from the reset groove under the action of the second spring. In the initial state, the electromagnet is in an open state. Since the electromagnet is electrically connected to the infrared temperature sensor, the multiple groups of electromagnets can be controlled by multiple groups of infrared temperature sensors. When the infrared temperature sensor detects a decrease in temperature at the connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, the infrared temperature sensor and the infrared temperature sensor at a symmetrical position can turn off the corresponding electromagnet to make the locking plate extend from the reset groove.

[0019] Optionally, the end of the locking groove close to the second mounting ring is provided with an outwardly expanding inclined surface.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the socket slot close to the second mounting ring is provided with an outwardly expanded inclined surface, which can further facilitate the locking plate to enter the locking slot.

[0021] The present application also includes a method for detecting vibration of a cryogenic shut-off valve, comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1: The sealing distance between the valve body and the first and second connecting pipes increases, and the temperature at the possible leakage location decreases. The infrared temperature sensor installed on the mounting lug will detect the possible leakage risk through the temperature drop at the connection.

[0023] S2: The vibration of the valve body can change the extrusion force detected by the pressure sensor, which can be used to determine the vibration amplitude of the valve body. The output values ​​of multiple sets of pressure sensors can be used to determine the vibration direction of the valve body.

[0024] S3: When the infrared temperature sensor detects a decrease in the temperature at the connection between the valve body and the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, the infrared temperature sensor and the infrared temperature sensor at the symmetrical position thereof can turn off the corresponding electromagnet to cause the locking plate to extend from the reset groove and enter the locking groove;

[0025] S4: Start the drive motor in reverse direction to remove the bolts. After the removal is completed, start the drive motor in forward direction to install the bolts.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. When leakage risks may occur at the connection between the valve body and the first and second connecting pipes, the sealing distance between the valve body and the first and second connecting pipes will increase. Since the valve body is filled with cryogenic liquid, the temperature at the potential leakage location will drop. At this time, the infrared temperature sensor installed on the mounting lug will detect the potential leakage risk through the temperature drop at the connection, thereby helping personnel to promptly address the potential leakage risk.

[0028] 2. When the valve body vibrates, the vibration of the valve body can cause the telescopic column to retract into the socket through the abutment plate, squeezing the spring. The deformation of the first spring can transmit the squeezing force to the fixed column, thereby changing the squeezing force between the fixed column and the pressure sensor. The change in squeezing force detected by the pressure sensor can be used to determine the vibration amplitude of the valve body, and the output values ​​of multiple sets of pressure sensors can be used to determine the vibration direction of the valve body, thereby further assisting personnel in troubleshooting and repairing the cause of the valve body vibration.

[0029] 3.

During the disassembly process, under the action of the reset structure, the locking plate is retracted into the driven gear until the disassembly is completed, and the reset structure can also make multiple sets of mutually symmetrical locking plates extend out of the passive gear setting, thereby realizing the disassembly of multiple sets of mutually symmetrical bolts at possible leakage risks. After the disassembly is completed, the second mounting ring is driven forward to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous installation of multiple sets of mutually symmetrical bolts at possible leakage risks, avoiding the problem of the flange connection being unable to seal due to unbalanced locking of the diagonal bolts of the flange, and ensuring the tightness and stability of the flange connection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The present application discloses a low-temperature stop valve vibration detection device and detection method, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vibration detection device of the low-temperature stop valve includes a valve body 1, a first connecting pipe 11 and a second connecting pipe 12. The first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 are respectively installed at both ends of the valve body 1 through flange connections. Two sets of vibration detection mechanisms are installed on the valve body 1. The two sets of vibration detection mechanisms are respectively installed at both ends of the valve body 1 and are installed at the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12. The vibration detection mechanism includes a first mounting ring 2, a mounting seat 3 and a vibration detection assembly 4. The first mounting ring 2 is welded and installed on the mounting seat 3. A second mounting ring 5 is also installed on the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12, and a locking mechanism 6 is installed on the second mounting ring 5.

[0039] The two ends of the valve body 1 are generally connected to the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 by flange bolts, and the internal structure of the low-temperature stop valve determines that there is liquid impact inside it. When the flow rate of the liquid is fast or lasts for a long time, the vibration generated by the liquid impact may cause the flange connection bolts between the two ends of the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 to loosen, and the vibration generated by the installation position of the valve body 1 may also cause the flange connection bolts to loosen, thereby causing the risk of leakage. However, in this embodiment, the vibration detection component 4 on the first mounting ring 2 can detect the leakage risk at the connection between the two ends of the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12, thereby helping the staff to promptly detect potential leaks. The risk can be handled, and the vibration detection component 4 in this embodiment can also detect the vibration amplitude and direction of the valve body 1, so as to further assist the staff in investigating and repairing the cause of the vibration of the valve body 1, and the locking component can detect the detection results of the connection between the two ends of the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 through the vibration detection component 4, and remove and re-tighten the connecting bolts at the corresponding positions and the connecting bolts at the symmetrical positions, thereby reducing the leakage risk caused by the staff's failure to deal with it in time. Re-tightening the bolts at the position where there may be a leakage risk and the bolts at the symmetrical position can avoid the problem of the flange connection being unable to seal due to the unbalanced tightening of the diagonal bolts of the flange, thereby ensuring the tightness and stability of the flange connection.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 The vibration detection assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a mounting ear plate 41, an infrared temperature sensor 42 and an amplitude detection structure 43. The first mounting ring 2 is sleeved on the flange of the valve body 1. Multiple groups of mounting ear plates 41 and infrared temperature sensors 42 are provided. Multiple groups of mounting ear plates 41 are installed at intervals on the side walls of the first mounting ring 2. Multiple groups of infrared temperature sensors 42 are respectively installed on the multiple groups of mounting ear plates 41. The infrared temperature sensors 42 are aligned with the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12. The amplitude detection structure 43 is installed on the first mounting ring 2. In this embodiment, there are eight groups of bolts installed on the flange, so eight groups of infrared temperature sensors 42 are installed corresponding to the number of bolts. Eight groups are a preferred method of this embodiment. In other embodiments, it can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0041] When there is a risk of leakage at the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12, the sealing distance between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 will increase. Since the valve body 1 flows with a low-temperature liquid, the temperature at the possible leakage location will become lower. At this time, the infrared temperature sensor 42 installed on the mounting ear plate 41 will detect the possible leakage risk through the temperature drop at the connection, thereby assisting the staff to deal with the potential leakage risk in a timely manner, and the amplitude detection structure 43 can detect the vibration amplitude and direction of the valve body 1, thereby further assisting the staff to investigate and repair the cause of the vibration of the valve body 1.

[0042] In order to further assist the staff to investigate and repair the vibration cause of valve body 1, refer to Figure 3 The amplitude detection structure 43 includes a pressure sensor 431, a mounting frame 432, a fixed column 433, a telescopic column 434, a first spring 435 and a contact plate 436. The pressure sensor 431 is provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of pressure sensors 431 are embedded and installed at intervals on the inner wall of the first mounting ring 2. The mounting frame 432 is provided with multiple groups of pressure sensors 431, and the multiple groups of mounting frames 432 are installed at intervals on the inner wall of the first mounting ring 2.

In the initial state, the abutment plate 436 is in contact with both ends of the valve body 1, and the fixed column 433 is just in contact with the pressure sensor 431. In this embodiment, eight groups of pressure sensors 431 are installed. Eight groups of pressure sensors 431 are a preferred method of this embodiment. In other embodiments, it can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements.

[0043] When the valve body 1 vibrates, the vibration of the valve body 1 can cause the telescopic column 434 to retract into the socket through the abutment plate 436 to squeeze the first spring 435. The deformation of the first spring 435 can transmit the squeezing force to the fixed column 433, thereby changing the squeezing force between the fixed column 433 and the pressure sensor 431. The change in the squeezing force detected by the pressure sensor 431 can be used to determine the vibration amplitude of the valve body 1, and the vibration direction of the valve body 1 can be determined through the output values ​​of multiple sets of pressure sensors 431, thereby further assisting the staff in troubleshooting and repairing the cause of the vibration of the valve body 1.

The locking plate 62 is movably installed on the passive gear 63. The end of the locking groove close to the second mounting ring 5 is an outward-expanding inclined surface.

[0045] The driving assembly 64 drives the second mounting ring 5 to approach the first mounting ring 2, and at the same time drives the second mounting ring 5 to rotate forward until the locking plate 62 on the driven gear 63 enters the locking groove, and then drives the second mounting ring 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the bolt is disassembled under the action of the locking plate 62 and the locking groove. During the disassembly process, under the action of the reset structure 65, the locking plate 62 is retracted into the driven gear 63 until the disassembly is completed, and the reset structure 65 can also make the multiple sets of mutually symmetrical locking plates 62 extend out of the driven gear 63, thereby realizing the disassembly of multiple sets of mutually symmetrical bolts at possible leakage risks. After the disassembly is completed, the second mounting ring 5 is driven forward to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous installation of multiple sets of mutually symmetrical bolts at possible leakage risks, avoiding the problem that the flange connection cannot be sealed due to unbalanced locking of the diagonal bolts of the flange, ensuring the tightness and stability of the flange connection, and the end of the socket near the second mounting ring 5 is an outward-expanded inclined surface setting, which can further facilitate the locking plate 62 to enter the locking groove.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving assembly 64 includes a fixed plate 641, an electric telescopic rod 642, a driving motor 643, an outer gear ring 644, an inner gear ring 645 and a gear column 646. The fixed plate 641 is installed on the side of the second mounting ring 5 away from the first mounting ring 2. The second mounting ring 5 is slidably installed on the first connecting tube 11 and the second connecting tube 12. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 642 is installed on the fixed plate 641. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 642 passes through the fixed plate 641 and is installed on the side of the second mounting ring 5 away from the first mounting ring 2. The outer gear ring 644 It is sleeved on the inner gear ring 645, and the inner gear ring 645 and the outer gear ring 644 are fixedly connected. The inner gear ring 645 and the outer gear ring 644 are both rotatably mounted on the second mounting ring 5. The drive motor 643 is mounted on the fixed plate 641, and the output shaft passes through the fixed plate 641. The gear column 646 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 643. The gear column 646 and the outer gear ring 644 are engaged with each other, and in the length direction of the gear column 646, the outer gear ring 644 and the gear column 646 are slidably connected, and the driven gear 63 is engaged with the inner gear ring 645.

[0047] Start the electric telescopic rod 642, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 642 extends to drive the second mounting ring 5 to move toward the first mounting ring 2, and start the drive motor 643 in the forward direction. The tooth column 646 on the output shaft of the drive motor 643 drives the outer gear ring 644 to rotate. Since the outer gear ring 644 and the inner gear ring 645 are fixedly connected, the inner gear ring 645 can drive the rotation of the driven gear 63, thereby entering the locking groove through the locking plate 62 on the driven gear 63, and then start the drive motor 643 in the reverse direction to remove the bolt. After the disassembly is completed, start the drive motor 643 in the forward direction to install the bolt.

The electromagnet 652 is installed at the bottom of the reset groove 651. The second spring 653 is installed in the reset groove 651 and is installed between the electromagnet 652 and the locking plate 62. Multiple groups of electromagnets 652 are electrically connected to multiple groups of infrared temperature sensors 42 respectively.

[0049] When the electromagnet 652 is started, the electromagnet 652 can adsorb the locking plate 62 and completely retract it into the reset groove 651. At this time, the second spring 653 is in a compressed state. After closing the electromagnet 652, under the action of the second spring 653, the locking plate 62 can extend from the reset groove 651. In the initial state, the electromagnet 652 is in an open state. Since the electromagnet 652 is electrically connected to the infrared temperature sensor 42, the multiple groups of electromagnets 652 can be controlled by multiple groups of infrared temperature sensors 42. When the infrared temperature sensor 42 detects that the temperature at the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 decreases, the infrared temperature sensor 42 and the infrared temperature sensor 42 at the symmetrical position can turn off the corresponding electromagnet 652 to make the locking plate 62 extend from the reset groove 651.

[0050] The implementation principle of the low-temperature stop valve vibration detection device in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0051] When there is a risk of leakage at the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12, the sealing distance between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 will increase. Since the valve body 1 is filled with low-temperature liquid, the temperature at the possible leakage location will become lower. At this time, the infrared temperature sensor 42 installed on the mounting ear plate 41 will detect the possible leakage risk through the temperature drop at the connection, thereby assisting the staff to deal with the potential leakage risk in a timely manner.

[0052] When the valve body 1 vibrates, the vibration of the valve body 1 can cause the telescopic column 434 to retract into the socket through the abutment plate 436 to squeeze the first spring 435. The deformation of the first spring 435 can transmit the squeezing force to the fixed column 433, thereby changing the squeezing force between the fixed column 433 and the pressure sensor 431. The change in the squeezing force detected by the pressure sensor 431 can be used to determine the vibration amplitude of the valve body 1, and the vibration direction of the valve body 1 can be determined through the output values ​​of multiple sets of pressure sensors 431, thereby further assisting the staff in troubleshooting and repairing the cause of the vibration of the valve body 1.

[0053] When it is necessary to re-tighten the bolts on the flange, the electromagnet 652 is turned off. Under the action of the second spring 653, the locking plate 62 can be extended from the reset groove 651. Therefore, the multiple sets of electromagnets 652 can be controlled by multiple sets of infrared temperature sensors 42. When the infrared temperature sensor 42 detects that the temperature at the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 is reduced, the infrared temperature sensor 42 and the infrared temperature sensor 42 at the symmetrical position can turn off the corresponding electromagnet 652 to make the locking plate 62 extend from the reset groove 651, start the electric telescopic rod 642, and the electric The telescopic end of the movable telescopic rod 642 extends to drive the second mounting ring 5 to move toward the first mounting ring 2, and the drive motor 643 is started in the forward direction. The tooth column 646 on the output shaft of the drive motor 643 drives the outer gear ring 644 to rotate. Since the outer gear ring 644 and the inner gear ring 645 are fixedly connected, the inner gear ring 645 can drive the rotation of the passive gear 63, thereby entering the locking groove through the locking plate 62 on the passive gear 63, and then the drive motor 643 is started in the reverse direction to disassemble the bolt. After disassembly is completed, the drive motor 643 is started in the forward direction to install the bolt.

[0054] The present application also includes a method for detecting vibration of a cryogenic shut-off valve, comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1: The sealing distance between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12 will increase, and the temperature at the possible leakage location will decrease. The infrared temperature sensor 42 installed on the mounting ear plate 41 will detect the possible leakage risk through the temperature drop at the connection;

[0056] S2: The vibration of the valve body 1 can change the squeezing force detected by the pressure sensor 431, so the vibration amplitude of the valve body 1 can be determined. The output values ​​of the multiple pressure sensors 431 can be used to determine the vibration direction of the valve body 1.

[0057] S3: When the infrared temperature sensor 42 detects a decrease in the temperature at the connection between the valve body 1 and the first connecting pipe 11 and the second connecting pipe 12, the infrared temperature sensor 42 and the infrared temperature sensor 42 at the symmetrical position thereof can turn off the corresponding electromagnet 652 to cause the locking plate 62 to extend from the reset groove 651 and enter the locking groove;

[0058] S4: Start the driving motor 643 in the reverse direction to dismantle the bolts. After the dismantling is completed, start the driving motor 643 in the forward direction to install the bolts.
