Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a technical solution: a steel lining four-fluorine reducing pipe, comprising a reducing pipe part 1, the reducing pipe part 1 has different diameters at two ends, one end of the reducing pipe part 1 is integrally machined and fixedly provided with a fixed flange 2, the other end is movably provided with a movable flange 3, the inner wall surface of the reducing pipe part 1 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene layer 4, and the inner wall surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene layer 4 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5; the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5 has conductivity by modification, the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5 is modified by adding 2%-5% of graphene, so as to have conductivity, and the graphene forms a continuous conductive network in the matrix through direct contact and tunnel effect by virtue of the excellent conductivity of the graphene, and the electrons realize directional migration through the passages. Meanwhile, the addition of the graphene can also improve the wear resistance of the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5, the graphene disperses external force in the friction process to the lamellar structure of the graphene by load transfer, so as to reduce micro cracks and peeling of the polytetrafluoroethylene matrix due to local stress concentration; therefore, the polytetrafluoroethylene lining of the steel lining four-fluoro reducing pipe is not negatively affected.

[0030] The polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5 and the reducing pipe part 1 are insulated by the polytetrafluoroethylene layer 4, the polytetrafluoroethylene layer 4 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material and does not need to be modified, the insulation performance of the polytetrafluoroethylene itself is used as an insulation base, annular stepped grooves 6 are formed at two positions of the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5, copper foil rings 7 are arranged in the annular stepped grooves 6, and the two ends of the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5 are connected in conduction by the copper foil rings 7, so as to monitor the resistance change of the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3 The surface of the copper foil ring 7 away from the polytetrafluoroethylene modified layer 5 is provided with an insulating film 701, the copper foil ring 7 is clamped between end faces when the steel lining four-fluoro reducing pipe is installed in pipeline butt joint, and the copper foil ring 7 avoids forming a conduction path with a matched pipeline, a connecting contact piece 702 is connected and arranged on the copper foil ring 7, and the connecting contact piece 702 is used as a detection electrical connection pin.

[0032] An annular cavity 201 is formed in the fixed flange 2, the annular cavity 201 is coaxial with the fixed flange 2, an inertia ring 202 is arranged in the annular cavity 201, hemispherical grooves 203 are formed in the two side surfaces of the inertia ring 202, and steel balls 204 are movably arranged in the hemispherical grooves 203, and the inertia ring 202 is in rolling contact with the inner wall surface of the annular cavity 201 through the steel balls 204.

[0033] A piston wall pipe 205 is welded and fixed on the inner wall surface of the annular cavity 201, and the piston wall pipe 205 is located on the inner side of the inertia ring 202; a piston part 206 is arranged in the piston wall pipe 205, and the piston part 206 is in sealing sliding contact with the inner wall surface of the piston wall pipe 205. A connecting shaft 207 is welded and fixed on the piston part 206, an arc surface pressing rod 208 is welded and fixed on the end of the connecting shaft 207, the arc surface pressing rod 208 is in extrusion contact with the inner wall surface of the inertia ring 202, a limiting insertion shaft 209 is welded and fixed on the arc surface pressing rod 208, a limiting side plate 210 is welded and fixed on the piston wall pipe 205, and the limiting insertion shaft 209 penetrates through the limiting side plate 210, so that the arc surface pressing rod 208 is vertically limited.

[0034] An arc-shaped elastic sheet 211 is arranged on the outside of the arc surface pressing rod 208, the arc-shaped elastic sheet 211 applies elastic pressure to the arc surface pressing rod 208, so that the arc surface pressing rod 208 has an elastic tendency of moving in the direction of the inertia ring 202.

[0035] An intercommunication loop 212 and a communication cavity loop 213 are formed in the inside of the fixed flange 2, the ends of the piston wall pipe 205 are in communication with the intercommunication loop 212, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the number of the piston wall pipe 205 is several groups, Figure 7 and eight groups are taken as an example, the ends of the eight groups of piston wall pipes 205 are in communication through the intercommunication loop 212, so that the piston parts 206 in part of the piston wall pipes 205 can be extruded and driven to different degrees when the inertia ring 202 moves radially, and the intercommunication loop 212 and the communication cavity loop 213 are in communication with each other.

[0036] An arc-shaped piston pipe 214 is welded and fixed on the surface of the fixed flange 2, the end of the arc-shaped piston pipe 214 is in communication with the communication cavity loop 213, and an arc-shaped plug shaft 215 is arranged in the arc-shaped piston pipe 214; when the inertia ring 202 moves radially relative to the fixed flange 2, the piston part 206 can be driven by the inertia ring 202, so that the medium in the piston wall pipe 205 enters the arc-shaped piston pipe 214 through the intercommunication loop 212 and the communication cavity loop 213, and the arc-shaped plug shaft 215 is driven to extend by a corresponding distance.

[0037] An end block 216 is welded and fixed to the end of the arc-shaped plug shaft 215. A limiting plate 217 is welded and fixed to the surface of the reducing pipe section 1. A side groove 218 is provided on the end block 216. The limiting plate 217 is limited and locked in the side groove 218 to support the end block 216.

[0038] A drawing pen tip 219 is embedded in the end block 216, and an arc-shaped sticker 220 is affixed to the surface of the fixed flange 2. When the arc-shaped plug shaft 215 extends and moves, the drawing pen tip 219 is driven by the end block 216 to draw on the surface of the arc-shaped sticker 220 to record the trajectory. The arc-shaped sticker 220 can be replaced to achieve cyclic use.

[0039] When the steel-lined PTFE reducer of the present invention is in use, the external resistance detection device is connected to the copper foil ring 7 through the connecting contact piece 702, and electrically connected to both ends of the PTFE modified layer 5 through the copper foil ring 7, thereby detecting the resistance of the PTFE modified layer 5.

[0040] Resistance formula , Resistivity For length, Let be the cross-sectional area. According to the formula above, with a constant resistivity and length, the cross-sectional area of ​​the PTFE modified layer 5 will decrease as it wears down, leading to an increase in resistance. Although the PTFE modified layer 5 has uneven thickness, the above variation still applies. For PTFE modified layers 5 of varying thicknesses, they can be divided into countless tiny uniform segments along the axial direction, and the sum of these segments can be calculated. An increase in the resistance of any small segment will increase the total resistance.

[0041] Since wear is determined by changes in resistance, continuous monitoring is required when a medium is flowing through the PTFE-lined reducer. The medium must be an insulating medium, such as organic solvents like ethanol or acetone, oils like engine oil or diesel, or deionized water. If a non-insulating medium is being transported through the PTFE-lined reducer, the reducer must be emptied before monitoring can begin.

[0042] In actual use, the most significant impact vibration on PTFE-lined reducers is the radial impact force perpendicular to the pipe. This radial impact force, perpendicular to the pipe axis, can cause the pipe to bend or deform laterally. Furthermore, there is a certain degree of frictional movement between the flange connection end faces, posing a risk of lining peeling and cracking, as well as leakage between the end faces. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the radial impact forces historically experienced by PTFE-lined reducers in actual use.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the PTFE-lined reducer is subjected to radial impact, due to the inertia of the inertia ring 202, a radial relative movement will occur between the inertia ring 202 and the fixed flange 2, such as... Figure 6 As shown, when the inertial ring 202 moves radially, it compresses the arc-shaped pressure rod 208, causing the piston portion 206 to move axially inside the piston wall tube 205. The medium in the piston wall tube 205 enters the connecting cavity 213 through the interconnecting loop 212, and then drives the arc-shaped plug shaft 215 to extend through the arc-shaped piston tube 214.

[0044] The greater the radial impact force on the steel-lined PTFE reducer, the greater the compression amplitude of the inertia ring 202 on the arc-shaped pressure rod 208, resulting in a greater axial movement distance of the piston section 206, more medium output from the piston wall tube 205, and a greater extension length of the arc-shaped plug shaft 215.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, during the extension of the arc-shaped plug shaft 215, the end locking block 216 drives the drawing pen tip 219 to draw on the surface of the arc-shaped sticker 220, leaving a trace record. The trace length reflects the magnitude of the radial impact force that the steel-lined PTFE reducer has historically suffered. Workers can directly check the trace length during inspections, and focus on checking pipe sections with longer trace lengths.

[0046] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
