BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] Figure 2 is a schematic side view structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS Embodiment

[0015] The simulation water pressure load test pipeline bearing capacity evaluation equipment of this embodiment is as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it includes: a reaction frame 1 and an annular pressure bag 2 sleeved on the reaction frame 1; the reaction frame 1 can be arranged in the test pipeline 3, and under the support of the reaction frame 1, the annular pressure bag 2 can apply pressure to the inner wall of the test pipeline 3; the reference beam 4 has an independent support structure, and this support structure spans the test section of the test pipeline 3 to provide support for the reference beam 4, thereby avoiding the position change of the reference beam 4 caused by strain. In this way, the position of the reference beam 4 is stable during the test. A number of displacement monitoring sensors 5 are arranged between the inner wall of the test pipeline and the reference beam to measure the deformation data of the inner wall of the test pipeline 3 during the test. The reaction frame 1 extends with a number of brackets, and traveling wheels are installed on the brackets; the reaction frame 1 can move along the test pipeline 3 through the traveling wheels. The annular pressure bag 2 can be an air-powered air bag or a liquid-powered liquid bag according to site needs.

[0016] A number of strain gauges are arranged at intervals on the circumference corresponding to the annular pressure bag 2 on the inner wall of the test pipeline. The strain gauges are used to measure the strain of the inner wall of the test pipeline. In order to avoid the pressure interference of the annular pressure bag 2 on the strain gauges, a rigid strain protection cover 6 is covered on the strain gauges.

[0017] A displacement lead-out part for the loading center position is installed on the circumference corresponding to the annular pressure bag 2 on the inner wall of the test pipeline; this component is set to enable the displacement monitoring sensor 5 to accurately measure the displacement generated by the position of the loading center of the annular pressure bag 2. The displacement lead-out part for the loading center position is a rigid component, one end of which is fixed on the inner wall of the test pipeline, and the other end is led out from the side of the annular pressure bag 2. The displacement generated on the inner wall of the test pipeline will drive the displacement lead-out part for the loading center position to generate the same displacement. The displacement monitoring sensor 5 is arranged between the displacement lead-out part and the reference beam 4. In this way, by using the immovable reference beam 4 as a reference, the displacement generated by the position of the inner wall of the test pipeline corresponding to the loading center of the annular pressure bag 2 can be detected.

[0018] The usage method of the simulation water pressure load test pipeline bearing capacity evaluation equipment in this embodiment includes the following steps: (1) After wire breakage detection and appearance inspection, select the pipe fittings that need to be tested and evaluated to determine the safe water transmission pressure of the water transmission pipeline; (2) During the water cut-off period, transport the reaction frame 1, the annular pressure bag 2, the test monitoring instruments, sensors and acquisition instruments to the test site; (3) According to the wire breakage detection data, design the loading load scheme; theoretically calculate the load-displacement and load-strain process curves; (4) Formulate the loading mechanism, including loading grading, the magnitude of each level of load, the duration, and design the load according to the theoretical and measured responses and the time process trend, analyze whether to continue loading, and analyze the bearing capacity of the pipe fittings; analyze the state of the structure as elastic or plastic according to the residual displacement and strain before and after loading and unloading. After testing one point, move the loading and testing equipment and then conduct testing at another point. Each point can be tested more than 3 times, and one pipe fitting can be tested at more than 3 points; (6) Comprehensively evaluate the pipe fittings by integrating the broken wire detection data, appearance investigation data, material property data, and loading test data; (7) After testing and analyzing multiple representative pipe fittings and measuring points, evaluate the overall pipeline capacity and put forward operation suggestions and maintenance suggestions.

[0019] Furthermore, the annular pressure bladder 2 can be continuous, spaced, or spaced in compartments to achieve the combined effect of different internal and external pressures of the simulated pipeline in different specified areas, and to evaluate the pipeline state by means of an asymmetric loading method. The present invention is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiments. In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention can also have other embodiments. Any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement falls within the protection scope required by the present invention.
