Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of pipeline flange installation, and in particular to a pipeline flange quick installation device and a use method. Background Art
[0002] Pipe flange is a kind of connector that is easy to disassemble and is widely used in the petroleum and chemical industries. It forms a forced sealing structure with gaskets and nuts, and plays the role of connecting various pressure-bearing equipment and making them form a pipe network system. The nut preload in the flange connection system has a great influence on the system seal and the stiffness and strength of each component.
[0003] Applying precise and uniform bolt preload can not only improve the reliability, tightness and rigidity of the connection, but also improve the anti-loosening ability and fatigue resistance of the bolts; however, if the preload value is too high or too low, it may cause the flange sealing structure to fail or the bolts to loosen, thus causing leakage. At the same time, when the parameters such as the medium temperature or pressure in production change, it may cause the sealing of the flange and gasket to fail, causing leakage of the connection structure, resulting in waste of resources and environmental pollution. It can be seen that it is very important to determine the nut preload of the flange connection system. However, there are many technical problems that cannot be ignored during flange installation: the order of preload bolts in the preload process of the pipeline flange is different, which has a great impact on the sealing of the flange. In the bolt flange connection, since all bolts cannot be loaded at the same time, but there is a certain sequence, the bolts loaded later will cause concave deformation on the flange surface when clamping, and the concave part will affect the preload force of the bolts loaded in front, causing the load of the front bolts to decrease, resulting in the interaction between the bolts, and the uneven actual preload force of each bolt, which seriously affects the sealing of the flange. The "false strain" caused by ignoring the strain gauge when detecting the flange preload due to load changes results in the nut preload after installation being too large or too small. Currently, no scholar has discussed how to effectively eliminate the detection error caused by this. Summary of the invention
[0004] In response to the above problems, this paper invents a quick installation device and method for pipe flanges, which accurately detects the preload force of flange bolts and can correctly apply the preload force.

[0011] Furthermore, the bolt plate at the center of the flange bolt push module is spliced in half, and the outer side of the bolt plate is the protective shell.

[0014] Further, the installed flange is arranged on the left side of the quick installation device of the pipeline flange, and is the flange after installation, and the resistance strain gauge is arranged on the surface of each bolt;
[0015] On the other hand, the present application provides a method for quickly installing a pipe flange, which is applied to a quick installation device for a pipe flange as described above, comprising:
[0016] Acquire attribute information of the flange to be installed, and fix the flange to be installed on the quick installation device of the pipeline flange, wherein the attribute information includes the number of bolts, flange type, predetermined value of bolt preload and target bolt preload;

[0027] Further, when the corrected preload is used as the minuend and the target preload is used as the subtrahend, and the difference between the corrected preload and the target preload is greater than zero, the preload after the bolt is installed with 100% of the target preload is increased;
[0028] Further, when the corrected preload is used as the minuend and the target preload is used as the subtrahend, and the difference between the corrected preload and the target preload is less than zero, the preload after the bolt is installed with 100% of the target preload is reduced.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The present invention provides a quick installation device and method for a pipe flange, which realizes the precise installation of the pipe flange nut. At the same time, because the motor drives all bolts to be pre-tightened in an orderly manner, the concave deformation of the flange surface during the bolt pre-tightening can be effectively reduced, the elastic interaction of the bolts can be reduced, and the uniformity of the bolt pre-tightening force applied by each bolt can be ensured to meet the design requirements of the flange, thereby improving the sealing of the flange.

[0050] A method for quickly installing a pipe flange, applied to a quick installation device for a pipe flange as described above, comprising:
[0051] Acquire attribute information of the flange to be installed, and fix the flange to be installed on the quick installation device of the pipeline flange, wherein the attribute information includes the number of bolts, flange type, predetermined value of bolt preload and target bolt preload;
[0052] Assemble the flange bolt pushing module, flange nut installation module and flange gasket installation module, control the flange gasket installation module to push the flange gasket to be stably installed in the flange plate, and after the cylinder returns to its position, control the flange bolt pushing module to install the bolts to the corresponding bolt hole positions.

[0064] In the implementation mode, Figure 6-Figure 7 , a method for quickly installing a pipe flange, the specific steps are as follows:
[0065] S1. Preparation stage
[0066] S11. According to the specific model of the flange, including the number of bolts, flange type, and the predetermined value of the bolt preload, the matching module model is used to determine the target bolt preload of the flange as F. a ;
[0067] S12. Assemble the flange bolt push module, install the bolt plate, and fix the large cylinder through four arc-shaped fixing plates, fixing parts and a protective shell to achieve the fixation of the overall structure of the module; the cylinder is fixed through a fastening groove and a fixing plate, and connected to the push rod to achieve the installation function of the flange bolt.
[0068] S13. Assemble the flange nut installation module, install the fixing nut positioning joint, and fix the cylinder through the cylinder groove and the protective cover to achieve the fixation of the overall structure of the module; the motor and the circular drive motor are fixed through the motor fixing plate, and the motor driving gear, the compound external meshing gear, the special bearing, and the external meshing gear are rotated to achieve the installation function of the flange nut.
[0069] S14, assemble the flange gasket installation module, install and fix the gasket installation plate, fix the double-acting cylinder by tightening the double-acting cylinder groove and the gasket, push the action rod, the lifting ear and the gasket mounting frame to realize the installation function of the flange gasket;
[0070] S2. Installation phase
[0071] S2. Installation phase
[0072] S21, after the flange bolt pushing module and the flange gasket installation module have completed the installation of the flange bolts and the flange gaskets, the flange bolt pushing module starts to work, and after the bolts are installed to the corresponding bolt hole positions, the bolt strain data ε is started to be recorded;
[0073] S22. To ensure that the bolts are aligned parallel to each other during flange installation and that the gasket is fixed at the corresponding position of the flange, the bolts are installed with a 30% target preload force through the flange nut installation module. The resistance strain gauge records the bolt strain data ε and the surface temperature x of the bolt in real time. The motor speed V during installation 1 The relationship with strain ε is:
[0074]
[0075] Where E is the elastic modulus of the bolt; A is the axial cross-sectional area of the bolt. When the bolt strain data ε determines that it reaches the strain requirement of 30% of the target preload, proceed to the next step;
[0076] S23. Since the bolt will have obvious elastic interaction after reaching 70% of the target preload, the resistance strain gauge is used to transmit a signal to the motor for slow driving to reduce the influence of the elastic interaction. The bolt is installed with 70% of the target preload, so the motor speed V 2 The relationship with strain ε is:
[0077]
[0078] The resistance strain gauge records the bolt strain data ε and the surface temperature x of the bolt in real time. When the bolt strain data ε is determined to reach 70% of the target preload requirement, the next step is entered;
[0079] S3: Precision processing of preload force
[0080] S31, the sensitive grid element is the main detection element in the resistance strain gauge. The resistance value of the sensitive grid material changes to detect the bolt surface strain. The resistance value of the sensitive grid changes due to the temperature increase, which affects the detection of the bolt preload. In order to reduce the influence of temperature in the resistance strain gauge and improve the detection accuracy of the bolt preload, the prediction correction curve method is used to fit the temperature data x and strain data ε obtained during data collection to obtain the sensitive correction coefficient K a .
[0081] S32, based on the sensitivity correction coefficient K of the resistance strain gauge a , install the bolts with 100% target preload force to achieve full preload of the flange nuts, where the motor speed V 3 The relationship with strain ε is:
[0082]
[0083] S4: Preload force error range analysis stage
[0084] S41. According to the precise test results, error analysis is performed to determine whether the precise bolt preload can reach the error range to ensure the uniformity of the bolt preload distribution of the flange. The judgment criteria are:
[0085]
[0086] S42: If the error does not meet the requirement, it indicates that the motor pre-tightening process in step S32 has a deviation due to excessive pre-tightening force, and the motor speed V3 is corrected:
[0087]
[0088] Where ΔV 电机As the speed change of the motor, if its error meets the requirement, an end signal is transmitted to the motor to end its working state and cut off the power. After the device is installed, it is disassembled and stored;
[0089] Furthermore, in step S42, according to the formula K=FF a If K<0, the motor rotates forward and continues to increase the bolt preload. If K>0, the motor rotates reversely to reduce the bolt preload. The preload is large during preload, and the fatigue life of the bolt needs to be considered. The speed change of the motor ΔV 电机 :
[0090]
[0091] Where N is the fatigue life of the bolt under the target preload.
[0092] Furthermore, K in step S32 a The analysis process of the sensitivity correction coefficient is as follows: According to a large amount of data on the "false strain" of the resistance strain gauge, it is related to the size of the sensitive grid inside the strain gauge and the size of the measured part. The reasoning process is as follows. The displacement of one end of the sensitive grid is dy, and the formula is obtained:
[0093]
[0094] Where τ(x,y) is the shear strain in the y direction at temperature x. The formula is obtained by differential principle:
[0095]
[0096] Consider the axial deformation as:
[0097]
[0098] Substituting the axial deformation function △u(x,y) into the equation, we can get:
[0099]
[0100] By integrating △udε, we can get the sensitivity correction coefficient K which changes with temperature. a :
[0101]
[0102] where t g —Sensitive grid thickness, W g —Sensitive gate width, E g — Elastic modulus of sensitive grid, x— Temperature, W m — Width of the detection part, t m —Thickness of the testing part, E m—Elastic modulus of the test part;
[0103] Furthermore, the data transmission process in step S42 is performed according to the formula K=FF. a If K<0, the motor rotates forward and continues to increase the bolt preload. If K>0, the motor rotates reversely and reduces the bolt preload. The motor speed change ΔV 电机 :
[0104]
[0105] Where N is the fatigue life of the bolt under the target preload.
[0106] Example:
[0107] Under the working environment of 21℃, the elastic modulus of the bolts of the ordinary sixteen-bolt flange is E=200GPa, the diameter of the bolt is d=38.1mm, and the applied bolt preload is F a =508650N, after the flange is installed, the average strain value ε is detected by ordinary resistance strain gauge = 2.0651mm. Sensitive grid thickness t g =5μm, sensitive gate width W g =24.5μm, elastic modulus of sensitive grid E g =190GPa, detection area width W m =0.06mm, thickness of the testing part t m =0.05mm, after pre-tightening the bolt, the surface temperature of the bolt rises from 21℃ to 22.5℃, and an analysis is made on this situation.
[0108] Method 1: Use the traditional method to solve the problem. First, find the cross-sectional area of the bolt:
[0109]
[0110] Then calculate the bolt preload F:
[0111] F=EεS=470842N
[0112] Finally, find the error:
[0113]
[0114] Method 2: Use the patented correction method to solve the problem. First, calculate the sensitivity correction coefficient K. a :
[0115]
[0116] The sensitivity correction factor K a Substitute into the formula to get the new F
[0117] F=K a ΕεS≈508193N
[0118] Finally, find the new error:

After the bolts are installed, pre-tighten the flange bolts by controlling the speed of the driving motor of the flange nut installation module; In order to ensure that the bolts are aligned parallel to each other during flange installation and that the gasket is fixed at the corresponding position of the flange, the motor in the flange nut installation module is driven to install the bolts with a 30% target preload force, and the first bolt strain data and the first surface temperature of the bolt are recorded in real time through the resistance strain gauge; When the bolt strain data reaches 30% of the target preload requirement, the greater the preload when preloading the bolt, the more obvious the elastic interaction between the bolt and the flange connection. Therefore, by slowing down the motor speed and increasing the torque, the bolt is installed with 70% of the target preload, and the second bolt strain data and the second surface temperature of the bolt are recorded in real time through the resistance strain gauge. Obtaining a sensitivity correction coefficient of the resistance strain gauge as it changes with temperature; Since the bolt will have obvious elastic interaction after reaching 70% of the target preload, the corrected preload is calculated based on the measurement data of the resistance strain gauge, and the bolt is installed with 100% of the target preload based on the corrected preload.
