Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of emergency leak sealing equipment technology, and in particular relates to an emergency leak sealing plate adapted to robots for preventing leaks in ships and hazardous chemical storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Petrochemical facilities, pipelines, and ships are highly susceptible to leaks when subjected to accidental damage such as collisions, corrosion, or fatigue damage. Existing leak-sealing plates generally employ a planar rigid or simple flexible gasket structure. When the damaged area of ​​the facility, pipeline, or ship is on a curved surface, the planar leak-sealing plate cannot fit well against the hull. Furthermore, most hull damage is caused by impacts, which can lead to local dents or warping of the hull, further widening the gap between the leak-sealing plate and the hull. This allows water to flow through the gap into the ship, resulting in poor leak sealing or ineffective sealing of the damaged area. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose an emergency leak-sealing plate adapted for robots to prevent leaks in ships and hazardous chemical storage tanks, in order to solve the problem that leak-sealing plates cannot effectively seal leaks in the curved parts of the ship's hull.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution created by this invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] An emergency leak-stopping plate adapted for robots to prevent leaks in ships and hazardous chemical storage tanks includes: a base plate, a filling mechanism, and a sealing mechanism;

[0006] The substrate has a built-in magnet, and one end of the substrate has a gripping position adapted to the robotic arm. A sealing mechanism is installed on the end of the substrate opposite to the gripping position. The sealing mechanism is configured as a flexible sealing gasket layer with a filling chamber. The filling mechanism is disposed on the substrate and has a glue storage chamber communicating with the filling chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, the filling mechanism includes a glue can and a sealing control assembly;

[0008] The glue container has a glue storage cavity and an installation cavity communicating with the glue storage cavity. The sealing control component is disposed in the installation cavity and is used to seal and control the glue storage cavity. The sealing control component has a first flow channel, and the substrate has a second flow channel. The glue storage cavity, the first flow channel, the second flow channel, and the filling chamber are interconnected.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing control assembly includes a fixed cylinder, a sealing rod, and a connecting cylinder. The fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting cylinder, and one end of the connecting cylinder opposite to the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the glue container. The first flow channel includes an interconnected discharge passage and a plug-in passage. The connecting cylinder is provided with the discharge passage, which connects to the glue storage cavity through the glue discharge port of the glue container. The fixed cylinder is provided with the plug-in passage, and the sealing rod is plugged into the plug-in passage to seal the end of the discharge passage opposite to the glue discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing control assembly also includes a contact plate, and the end of the sealing rod facing away from the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the contact plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing control assembly also includes a limiting screw. The fixed cylinder is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection of the limiting screw. The threaded hole communicates with the insertion passage. The limiting screw extends into the insertion passage through the threaded hole and abuts against the sealing rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing control assembly also includes a limiting sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder. The limiting sleeve has a through hole, and the through hole, the insertion passage, and the second flow channel are interconnected. The diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the insertion passage.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing control component also includes an isolation layer, which is laid on the outer wall of the glue container to cover and seal the opening of the mounting cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, there are two storage cavities, each used to store two-component polyurethane expandable filler adhesive.

[0015] Furthermore, the glue can is disposed at the center of the substrate, and there are two gripping positions. The two gripping positions are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the substrate, and the glue can is located between the two gripping positions.

[0016] Furthermore, the number of magnets is multiple.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, by setting magnets inside the substrate, rapid adsorption and fixation between the leak-sealing plate and the ship's metal hull are achieved, and initial positioning can be completed without the need for external tools, greatly improving the response speed and convenience of the leak-sealing operation. The substrate is equipped with a gripping position adapted to a robotic arm, allowing the leak-sealing plate to be flexibly connected to mobile equipment such as wall-climbing robots, enabling remote deployment and precise positioning, and improving the operational capability in complex sea conditions. The sealing mechanism adopts a flexible sealing gasket structure with a filling chamber inside. This structure can adapt to the surface morphology of the hull damage, such as dents, warped edges, or uneven curvature, enhancing the adhesion performance of the sealing surface and avoiding sealing failure caused by rigid structures being unable to adapt to deformation. The filling mechanism has a glue storage chamber connected to the chamber, which can inject sealing material into the sealing gasket during use. Under the action of filling pressure, it deforms, which not only further enhances the adhesion but also extends and embeds into the damaged gaps. The internal pressure difference forms a reliable internal pressure sealing effect, thereby effectively preventing seawater from seeping into the cabin. Attached Figure Description

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0025] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] In the complex and ever-changing maritime environment, ships inevitably encounter various sudden structural damages during missions or routine navigation, such as collisions, corrosion, and fatigue cracking. These factors can all lead to hull damage and seawater leakage. Currently commonly used leak-stopping plate structures mainly employ planar rigid materials or are supplemented with simple flexible gasket designs. While these can be applied to flat surfaces, they have significant limitations in practical use.

[0029] Specifically, when the damaged area is located on a curved surface of the hull (such as the side, bow and stern corners), a planar sealing plate is difficult to fit well with such complex curved surfaces, easily creating gaps at the joints. Furthermore, most ship damage is caused by external impacts, which typically result in localized dents, warping, or structural deformation of the hull. These irregular geometric features further widen the gap between the sealing plate and the hull, leading to seal failure.

[0030] Under water pressure, seawater will seep into the compartment through these gaps, which can lead to continuous water ingress and even endanger the ship's buoyancy and stability in severe cases, making traditional leak-sealing plates ineffective in emergency sealing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of leak-sealing plate that can adapt to complex curved surfaces and has good deformation matching capabilities to improve the adaptability and sealing performance of damaged areas of the hull and ensure reliable leak-sealing results under extreme conditions.

[0031] Based on this, in the specific embodiments provided in this disclosure, an emergency leak-stopping plate adapted for robots to prevent leaks in ships and hazardous chemical storage tanks is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the emergency leak-sealing plate adapted for preventing leaks in ships and hazardous chemical storage tanks includes a base plate 1, a filling mechanism, and a sealing mechanism. The base plate 1 contains a magnet 2 for rapid adsorption onto the ship's metal hull in emergency situations, significantly improving the response efficiency and operational safety of the leak-sealing operation. One end of the base plate 1 has a gripping position 101 for connecting with a robotic arm, enabling rapid connection between the base plate 1 and the robotic arm of a wall-climbing robot. A sealing mechanism is installed at the end of the base plate 1 opposite to the gripping position 101. This sealing mechanism is configured as a flexible sealing pad 3 with a filling chamber 301, which conforms to the hull. The irregular curved surfaces at the damaged area, such as depressions, warped edges, or twisted and deformed surfaces, significantly improve the sealing fit and avoid the sealing failure caused by the inability of traditional rigid sealing plates to adapt to the deformation of the hull. The filling mechanism is installed on the base plate 1 and has a glue storage cavity 401 that communicates with the sealing mechanism chamber. The glue storage cavity 401 stores sealing material. When the sealing material is injected into the flexible sealing gasket 3, the flexible sealing gasket 3 deforms under the combined action of filling pressure and magnetic attraction. The deformed flexible sealing gasket 3 not only achieves a tight fit with the outer surface of the hull, but can also extend into the damaged part of the hull to form a reliable adhesion and internal pressure sealing effect, thereby effectively preventing seawater from seeping into the cabin through the damaged gap.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, by setting a magnet 2 inside the substrate 1, the leak-sealing plate is quickly adsorbed and fixed to the metal hull of the ship, and the initial positioning can be completed without the need for external tools, which greatly improves the response speed and convenience of the leak-sealing operation. The substrate 1 is provided with a gripping position 101 adapted to the robotic arm, which allows the leak-sealing plate to be flexibly connected to mobile equipment such as wall-climbing robots, realizing remote deployment and precise positioning, and improving the operation capability in complex sea conditions. The sealing mechanism adopts a flexible sealing gasket 3 structure, and sets a filling chamber 301 in it. This structure can adapt to the surface morphology of the hull damage, such as dents, warped edges or different curvatures, enhance the adhesion performance of the sealing surface, and avoid sealing failure caused by the rigid structure being unable to adapt to deformation. The filling mechanism is provided with a glue storage chamber 401 connected to the chamber, which can inject sealing material into the sealing gasket during use, so that it deforms under the action of filling pressure, which not only further enhances the adhesion, but also extends and embeds into the damaged gaps. The internal pressure difference forms a reliable internal pressure sealing effect, thereby effectively preventing seawater from seeping into the cabin.

[0033] In addition, the emergency leak-sealing plate adapted for robots to prevent leaks in ships and hazardous chemical storage tanks is not only suitable for emergency leak sealing needs in the event of sudden damage to ships in complex marine environments, but also for sealing leaks in tanks or metal pipes.

[0034] In tank applications, especially for chemical storage tanks, fuel tanks, or hydraulic oil tanks, the structures are mostly large metal containers, often spherical, cylindrical, or curved in shape. When they break due to corrosion, impact, or stress concentration, they are often accompanied by localized dents or edge warping. Traditional planar sealing structures are difficult to completely conform to the tank wall surface, resulting in poor sealing performance. The sealing plate disclosed in this invention uses a magnet 2 to achieve rapid positioning and stable adsorption of the metal tank. The flexible sealing gasket 3 and sealing material can efficiently adapt to various complex curvature changes at the tank wall damage site, ensuring high fit and sealing effect, and preventing secondary disasters caused by hazardous liquid leakage.

[0035] In the case of metal pipelines, especially industrial pipeline systems used to transport high-pressure liquids or gases, such as main pipelines and branch pipelines in industries like oil, natural gas, water treatment, and chemicals, there is often a risk of local leakage due to aging, weld defects, or accidental mechanical damage. Since the pipeline cross-section is arc-shaped, the leakage point is often located on the curved surface of the outer wall or in the transition area of ​​structures such as bends and joints. This leak-sealing plate, with its gripping position 101 that can be connected to the robotic arm of a wall-climbing robot, can be flexibly deployed near the leakage point. It is quickly fixed to the metal pipeline by magnetic attraction using magnet 2, and actively adapts to the shape of the pipeline surface using a deformable flexible sealing pad 3. The sealing material in the filling mechanism can further enhance the sealing effect, thereby achieving efficient emergency sealing of metal pipelines.

[0036] Specifically, the robotic arm of the wall-climbing robot can dock with sealing plates of different specifications and features. The hardness index of its rubber carrier has a wide range of adjustment characteristics. Under the strong magnetic field of magnet 2, its radius of curvature has a good fit with the container and the pipe body. In particular, the instantaneous magnetic force closes and positions the connection, laying a successful foundation for subsequent perfect operation.

[0037] Emergency leak-sealing plates adapted for robotic leak prevention on ships and in hazardous chemical storage tanks are reliable and quick to manufacture, effectively addressing leaks in various extreme conditions and complex environments, with a wide range of applications. Typical applicable scenarios include:

[0038] 1. Emergency handling of ship hull leakage in aquatic environment: Applicable to sudden events such as hull damage and water ingress during ship navigation or combat at sea. It can achieve rapid sealing and leakage prevention through magnetic attraction and flexible sealing, ensuring the hull's stability and the safety of the cabin.

[0039] 2. Investigation, treatment, and leak sealing repair of underwater crude oil, refined oil, and gas pipelines. Oil and gas pipelines laid on the seabed or in rivers face the risk of leakage due to corrosion, impact, etc. Leak sealing plates can be used in conjunction with wall-climbing robots or diving platforms to achieve precise location and rapid sealing of underwater leak points.

[0040] 3. Drones equipped with robotic arms can be used to plug leaks in large storage tanks. In land-based storage and transportation systems, such as large oil tanks, LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage tanks, low-carbon chain gas storage tanks, and gas holders in the petrochemical industry, if gas or liquid media leaks, drones can be equipped with plugging plates to achieve remote deployment and rapid leak stabilization. This is particularly suitable for emergency response in high-altitude and high-risk areas.

[0041] 4. Emergency handling of sulfur hexafluoride leakage in power transmission and distribution systems: For the arc-extinguishing positive pressure sulfur hexafluoride gas insulation devices widely used in power company power transmission and distribution stations, once the seal fails and leaks, it will affect the insulation performance and safety of the system. The leak-sealing plate in this disclosure can be used to seal the leak.

[0042] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 As shown, the substrate 1 contains multiple magnets 2 arranged in a predetermined distribution pattern to provide a larger adsorption area and stronger magnetic adsorption force. The multiple magnets 2 can form multi-point distributed adsorption on the surface of the ship structure, which not only improves the overall stability of the sealing plate, but also adapts to local unevenness or curved deformation of the hull surface, enhances its adhesion and anti-detachment ability, and further improves the fixing reliability of the sealing plate under complex marine working conditions such as high humidity, vibration or impact, effectively ensuring the continuity and sealing performance of the sealing mechanism in the sealing process.

[0043] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filling mechanism includes a glue tank 4 and a sealing control component 5; the glue tank 4 has a glue storage cavity 401 and an installation cavity 402 communicating with the glue storage cavity 401, the sealing control component 5 is disposed in the installation cavity 402, the sealing control component 5 is used to seal the glue storage cavity 401, the sealing control component 5 has a first flow channel, the substrate 1 has a second flow channel 102, and the glue storage cavity 401, the first flow channel, the second flow channel 102 and the filling chamber 301 are interconnected.

[0044] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filling mechanism includes a glue tank 4 and a sealing control component 5. The glue tank 4 has a glue storage cavity 401 inside and an installation cavity 402 communicating with the glue storage cavity 401. The sealing control component 5 is disposed in the installation cavity 402 and is used to seal and control the glue dispensing process of the glue storage cavity 401 to prevent the sealing material in the glue storage cavity 401 from being discharged before the substrate 1 is adsorbed onto the damaged part of the hull. The sealing control component 5 has a first flow channel, and the substrate 1 has a second flow channel 102 communicating with it. The glue storage cavity 401, the first flow channel, the second flow channel 102 and the filling chamber 301 inside the flexible sealing pad 3 constitute a continuous fluid passage, thereby realizing the directional delivery and controlled injection of the sealing material. Under the control of the operator, the sealing material can pass from the glue storage cavity 401 through the relevant channels of the sealing control component 5 and the substrate 1 in sequence, and finally enter the filling chamber 301 of the flexible sealing pad 3.

[0045] In practical use, the sealing control component 5 can realize the directional release control of the sealing material, avoiding material waste or leakage failure caused by premature glue injection before the substrate 1 has been fully absorbed.

[0046] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing control assembly 5 includes a fixed cylinder 501, a sealing rod 502, and a connecting cylinder 503. The fixed cylinder 501 and the connecting cylinder 503 are fixedly connected. The glue tank 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting cylinder 503 away from the fixed cylinder 501. The first flow channel consists of an interconnected discharge passage 6 and a plug-in passage 7. The discharge passage 6 is formed inside the connecting cylinder 503. The discharge passage 6 is connected to the glue storage chamber 401 through the glue discharge port of the glue tank 4. The plug-in passage 7 is formed inside the fixed cylinder 501 for installing the sealing rod 502. The sealing rod 502 is plugged into the plug-in passage 7. One end of the sealing rod 502 is used to block the end of the discharge passage 6 away from the glue discharge port.

[0047] Specifically, the sealing rod 502 has a sealing state and an unsealing state. Before the substrate 1 is adsorbed and fixed, the sealing rod 502 is in the sealing state. At this time, the sealing rod 502 can seal the end of the discharge passage 6 away from the discharge port, blocking the sealing material from flowing from the storage cavity 401 to the outside, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of premature leakage of sealing material due to the leak-stopping plate not being in place.

[0048] After the substrate 1 is transported by the robotic arm of the wall-climbing robot and firmly attached to the hull, the sealing rod 502 is pulled out. At this time, the sealing rod 502 switches from the sealing state to the unsealing state, and the controlled release of the sealing material can be achieved.

[0049] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the sealing control assembly 5 also includes a contact plate 504. The end of the sealing rod 502 facing away from the fixed cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to the contact plate 504. By setting the contact plate 504, the robotic arm can quickly pull out the sealing rod 502 through simple clamping or other actions after the sealing plate has completed the stable adsorption of the damaged position of the hull, thereby opening the flow path of the sealing material and starting the glue injection process.

[0050] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the sealing control assembly 5 also includes a limiting screw 505. The fixed cylinder 501 has a threaded hole for threaded connection of the limiting screw 505. The threaded hole communicates with the insertion passage 7, allowing the limiting screw 505 to extend into the insertion passage 7 and abut against the sealing rod 502. By setting the limiting screw 505, the insertion position of the sealing rod 502 can be limited and fixed, preventing displacement or dislodgement of the sealing rod 502 due to vibration or other external forces during transportation, installation, or operation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the sealing state. Simultaneously, the limiting screw 505 also facilitates unlocking by unscrewing when the sealing rod 502 needs to be removed, making the sealing operation more controllable and safer, and improving the ease of operation and structural stability of the device in practical applications.

[0051] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the sealing control assembly 5 also includes a limiting sleeve 506, which is fixed to the fixed cylinder 501 and has a through hole 5061 inside. The through hole 5061 is interconnected with the insertion passage 7 and the second flow channel 102 provided in the substrate 1 to form a continuous path for the sealing material to reach the filling chamber 301.

[0052] Meanwhile, the diameter of the through hole 5061 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion passage 7. Through this size difference design, when the sealing rod 502 is inserted into the insertion passage 7, the smaller diameter of the through hole 5061 can effectively limit the insertion depth of the sealing rod 502, and after the sealing rod 502 is pulled out, it provides a stable channel for the sealing material, ensuring that it flows smoothly into the second flow channel 102 and the filling chamber 301.

[0053] Regarding the discharge path of the sealing material: After the sealing rod 502 switches from the sealing state to the unsealing state, the sealing material located in the glue storage cavity 401 flows sequentially through the glue discharge port, the discharge passage 6, the insertion passage 7, the through hole 5061 and the second flow channel 102, and then is discharged into the filling chamber 301.

[0054] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 As shown, the sealing control assembly 5 also includes an isolation layer 507, which is laid on the outer wall of the glue container 4 to cover and seal the opening of the mounting cavity 402.

[0055] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 As shown, the sealing control assembly 5 also includes an isolation layer 507, which is laid on the outer wall of the glue container 4 to cover and seal the opening of the mounting cavity 402. That is, by setting the isolation layer 507, moisture, dust, or other impurities from the external environment can be effectively prevented from entering the mounting cavity 402, avoiding these impurities from affecting the normal operation of the sealing control assembly 5 and ensuring the smooth operation of components such as the sealing rod 502 and the limiting sleeve 506. In addition, the isolation layer 507 provides an additional sealing effect, enhancing the protective performance of the entire filling mechanism and improving the reliability and service life of the sealing plate in complex environments.

[0056] For example, a two-component polyurethane expandable filler can be used as the sealing material, based on the inherent properties of the two-component polyurethane expandable filler, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, there are two storage cavities 401. The two storage cavities 401 are used to store component A and component B in the two-component polyurethane expandable filler, respectively. Specifically, by setting two independent storage cavities 401, it can be ensured that component A and component B remain in a separate state before injection, avoiding premature mixing that could lead to curing or failure.

[0057] After the substrate 1 is positioned and adsorbed onto the damaged part of the hull by the robotic arm, the sealing control component 5 releases the seal, and components A and B enter the filling chamber 301 of the flexible sealing pad 3 through their respective flow paths. They mix and undergo a chemical reaction in the filling chamber 301, producing an expansion and curing effect to form a stable sealing structure.

[0058] In some embodiments, silicone foam filler can also be used as the sealing material. Multiple storage cavities 401 can be used to store the silicone foam filler. After being injected into the filling cavities 301 of the flexible sealing gasket 3, the silicone foam filler can rapidly expand and solidify, causing the flexible sealing gasket 3 to deform and better conform to the irregular surface of the damaged area of ​​the hull. The silicone foam filler has good elasticity and weather resistance, maintaining stable performance under various environmental conditions, ensuring that the sealing gasket maintains good adhesion and sealing effect over a long period.

[0059] In addition, the expansion properties of silicone foam fillers can effectively fill and seal tiny cracks and gaps, further improving sealing performance. They are particularly suitable for shipboard leak sealing scenarios that require rapid response and long-term sealing effect.

[0060] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 As shown, the glue can 4 is positioned at the center of the substrate 1. There are two gripping positions 101, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the substrate 1, with the glue can 4 located between them. By placing the glue can 4 at the center of the substrate 1, the overall center of gravity of the substrate 1 is ensured to be stable, avoiding instability caused by center of gravity shift during operation. The two gripping positions 101, arranged opposite each other along the length of the substrate 1, allow the robotic arm to grip and position the substrate 1 from both ends, improving the installation flexibility and ease of operation. Simultaneously, it ensures more even support of the substrate 1 by the robotic arm during operation, reducing the risk of structural deformation or detachment due to uneven force at a single point, and improving the reliability and stability of the sealing plate in complex environments.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
