Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pressure testing pipe technology for hydraulic structures, and more particularly to a device for detecting and removing siltation and damage to omnidirectional rotating pressure testing pipes and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of hydraulic engineering, piezometers are key facilities for monitoring uplift pressure in hydraulic structures. Their normal operation is crucial to ensuring the stability and safety of structures such as dams and sluices. Accurate measurement of uplift pressure by piezometers within the piezometers allows for timely understanding of the stress state of the hydraulic structure foundations, providing important data for project safety assessments and maintenance decisions.
[0003] However, piezometers currently face numerous serious problems in practical applications. On the one hand, they are prone to siltation and blockage. Due to the long-term erosion and weathering of hydraulic structures, debris and other contaminants from structural components can easily fall into the piezometers, causing siltation. After normal maintenance, if the pipe cap is not properly closed, rainwater carrying mud and debris can flood into the piezometers during rainy weather, accelerating the siltation process. On the other hand, the piezometers themselves are easily damaged, with cracks or breaks frequently occurring in the pipe walls. Both siltation and pipe wall damage can prevent the piezometer from functioning properly, leading to distorted or missing uplift pressure measurements. This severely affects the accurate assessment of the safety status of hydraulic structures, increases operational risks, and may even trigger catastrophic accidents such as sluice gate collapse and dam failure.
[0004] Furthermore, the structural characteristics of piezometers pose significant challenges to inspection and maintenance. Piezometers often have bends at the bottom and narrow diameters, making it difficult for traditional inspection equipment to penetrate deep into the pipe for comprehensive and detailed inspection. Once a problem occurs, staff cannot promptly and accurately locate the fault and assess the extent of damage, hindering effective repairs and further exacerbating operational risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology or device that can effectively solve the problems of piezometer blockage and damage, and facilitate inspection and maintenance, to ensure the safe and stable operation of hydraulic structures. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0021] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connected," and "linked" 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 can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a universal rotating pressure measuring tube siltation and damage detection and removal device, including a protective tube 1, a first moving mechanism 2 at the lower end of the protective tube 1, a second moving mechanism 3 below the first moving mechanism 2, a multi-angle rotating mechanism 4 between the first moving mechanism 2 and the second moving mechanism 3, a removal tube 5 below the second moving mechanism 3, a crushing mechanism 6 inside the removal tube 5, the removal tube 5 being connected to a silt removal component 7, a monitoring component 8 mounted on the second moving mechanism 3, a detection component 9 mounted on the first moving mechanism 2, and a control box 10 for controlling the operation of the device on the protective tube 1.
[0023] In the technical solution of this invention, the device is slowly lowered to the designated position through the pressure measuring pipe opening by adjusting the first moving mechanism 2 and the second moving mechanism 3. The detection direction of the device is adjusted by controlling the multi-angle rotation mechanism 4. The blockage is broken by the high-speed rotation of the crushing mechanism 6. During the crushing process, the dredging component 7 continuously suctions under negative pressure to completely remove the broken debris. The monitoring component 8 captures real-time images of the inside of the pipe. Combined with the ultrasonic detection results of the detection component 9, a report on the siltation and damage status of the pressure measuring pipe is generated. By integrating the control functions of modules such as movement, steering, crushing, dredging, and monitoring, remote control and automatic operation of preset programs are supported, reducing manual intervention and operational risks. Through the deep integration of mechanical structure, monitoring technology and intelligent control, the problem of detecting and removing siltation and damage to the pressure measuring pipe is not only solved, but also a standardized and automated technical solution is provided for the safety monitoring of water conservancy projects, significantly reducing the project operation and maintenance costs and safety risks.
[0024] Each component is detachable and replaceable. When a module fails, there is no need to rework the entire system. The detection component 9 and the monitoring component 8 can be upgraded to higher precision sensors as needed to adapt to different working conditions.
[0025] Specifically, the control box 10 coordinates the various functional modules. According to preset programs or remote commands, it controls the traveling speed and direction of the moving mechanism, the turning angle of the rotating mechanism, the rotation speed of the crushing mechanism, the suction force of the dredging components, and the operating frequency of the monitoring and detection components. Each module operates in an orderly manner according to the commands, and at the same time, it feeds back the operating data and detection results to the control box 10. The control box 10 optimizes the control strategy in real time based on the feedback information, so as to achieve efficient and intelligent operation of the entire device.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first moving mechanism 2 includes a first outer tube 201, a first inner tube 202 connected inside the first outer tube 201, and a plurality of first telescopic members 203 connected between the first inner tube 202 and the first outer tube 201. A first universal wheel 204 is connected to the outside of the first telescopic member 203. The first universal wheel 204 is extended and retracted by the first telescopic member 203, which can adapt to the change of the pressure measuring tube diameter and ensure stable movement in narrow pipes.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second moving mechanism 3 includes a second outer tube 31, a second inner tube 32 connected inside the second outer tube 31, a plurality of second telescopic members 33 connected between the second inner tube 32 and the second outer tube 31, and a second universal wheel 34 connected outside the second telescopic member 33; the second telescopic member 33 cooperates with the second universal wheel 34 to enhance the mobility of the device in pipe bends or irregular sections.
[0028] Both the first moving mechanism 2 and the second moving mechanism 3 employ a "outer pipe-inner pipe-telescopic component-universal wheel" structural design. In the first moving mechanism, the first telescopic component 203 between the first inner pipe 202 and the first outer pipe 201 can extend and retract according to changes in the diameter of the pressure measuring pipe, causing the external first universal wheel 204 to conform to the pipe wall, enabling the device to move stably within pressure measuring pipes of different diameters. Similarly, the second telescopic component 33 of the second moving mechanism, in conjunction with the second universal wheel 34, further enhances the stability and maneuverability of the device when moving within the pipeline. This adaptive design avoids the problem of the device getting stuck or unable to move forward due to changes in pipe diameter, ensuring the continuity of detection and dredging operations.
[0029] The first moving mechanism 2 and the second moving mechanism 3 are positioned front and rear, forming a stable support structure. After the device enters the pressure measuring pipe, the two moving mechanisms can be adjusted independently according to the pipeline conditions to maintain the balance of the device. When encountering pipeline bends or irregular areas, the front and rear moving mechanisms adjust in tandem to ensure that the device will not tilt or overturn, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of other components such as the crushing mechanism and monitoring components, making the detection and dredging operations more accurate and safe.
[0030] Specifically, multiple third telescopic components 13 are connected between the first inner pipe 202 and the first outer pipe 201, and multiple first scrapers 14 are connected to the third telescopic components 13. Multiple fourth telescopic components 15 are connected between the second inner pipe 32 and the second outer pipe 31, and multiple second scrapers 16 are connected to the third telescopic components 203. The second scrapers 16 are staggered with the first scrapers 14. The first scrapers 14 extend and retract with the third telescopic components 13, which can simultaneously remove debris attached to the pipe wall and prevent jamming during movement. The staggered arrangement of the second scrapers 16 and the first scrapers 14 forms a "double-layer scraping" effect, making the scraping range more comprehensive and preventing any missed areas. Through the pre-cleaning with double scrapers, not only is the workload of the subsequent crushing mechanism and sludge removal components reduced, but large debris is also effectively prevented from entering the device, reducing the risk of equipment damage and improving overall work efficiency.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the multi-angle rotation mechanism 4 includes a first fixed plate 41 and a second fixed plate 42. The first fixed plate 41 is detachably connected to the first moving mechanism 2, and the second fixed plate 42 is detachably connected to the second moving mechanism 3. A hollow rotating tube 43 is provided between the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 42. Four turning tubes 44 are provided around the hollow rotating tube 43, and all four turning tubes 44 are connected to the wire feeding machine 46 via ropes 45. Multiple limiting discs 47 are provided on the hollow rotating tube 43 and the turning tubes 44. The design of the multi-angle rotation mechanism, with four turning tubes 44 around the hollow rotating tube 43 and connected to the wire feeding machine 46 via ropes 45, enables the device to rotate 360° omnidirectionally within the pressure measuring tube. When the device needs to turn, the wire feeding machine 46 pulls the turning tubes 44 by winding and unwinding the ropes 45, thereby causing the hollow rotating tube 43 to change its angle, allowing the device to smoothly pass through the bend at the bottom of the pressure measuring tube. Compared with traditional testing equipment, this device completely solves the problem of inaccessible testing due to bends, greatly improving the ability to test the pressure tube across the entire range and ensuring that no potential problem areas are missed.
[0032] Among them, the protective tube 1 is made of corrosion-resistant alloy, which is suitable for the humid and high water pressure environment of water conservancy projects; the hollow rotating tube 43 is made of alloy, and the turning tube 44 is made of tungsten wire with good ductility resistance, which can withstand frequent turning operations without deformation; the inner wall of the cleaning tube 5 is smooth and has an anti-adhesion coating to reduce sludge adhesion; the support frame 61 of the crushing mechanism has a slot design that takes into account both strength and debris flow, avoiding mechanism jamming caused by long-term use; the hollow rotating tube 43 made of alloy material ensures structural strength, and the tungsten wire turning tube 44 has both ductility resistance and flexibility, which can be adapted to the complex bends at the bottom of the pressure measuring tube.
[0033] Specifically, a dual-movement mechanism and a multi-angle rotation mechanism provide positional support for detection and dredging. The moving mechanism adjusts its extension and retraction according to the diameter of the pressure measuring pipe to maintain stable movement, while the steering mechanism allows the device to flexibly turn and reach the target position. During movement and turning, the monitoring and detection components work synchronously to detect the pipeline condition in real time. Once a problem is detected, the moving mechanism can immediately stop or adjust its path, and the crushing and dredging components can be quickly activated to handle the situation, forming a dynamic response mechanism.
[0034] The first fixed plate 41 of the multi-angle rotation mechanism is detachably connected to the first moving mechanism 2, and the second fixed plate 42 is detachably connected to the second moving mechanism 3. This design facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the rotation mechanism components when the device malfunctions or needs upgrading, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. Simultaneously, the detachable structure also allows for flexible adjustment of the rotation mechanism parameters or replacement of adaptable components in pressure testing scenarios with different specifications or requirements, improving the device's versatility and applicability.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the crushing mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61, which is detachably connected to the inside of the cleaning pipe 5. A drive motor 62 is installed on the support frame 61, and a dredging drill bit 63 is connected to the drive end of the drive motor 62. Multiple holes and slots 64 are opened on the support frame 61. The drive motor 62 drives the dredging drill bit 63 to rotate at high speed, which can crush hard objects such as gravel and clumps of silt in the pipe. The holes and slots 64 are designed to facilitate the diffusion of debris and avoid secondary blockage.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dredging component 7 includes a suction hose 71, one end of which is connected to the cleaning pipe 5. The suction hose 71 passes through the protective pipe 1 and is connected to the sludge pump box 72. The sludge pump box 72 generates negative pressure through the suction hose 71, which sucks away the crushed debris and liquid sludge in real time, forming a "crushing-suction" closed loop, which improves the efficiency by more than 50% compared with traditional manual dredging.
[0037] Among them, the first scraper 14 and the second scraper 16 scrape off the sludge and debris on the pipe wall in advance during the movement, reducing the workload of the crushing mechanism and reducing the risk of blockage of the sludge removal components.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the monitoring component 8 includes a first mounting box 81, which is fitted onto the outside of the cleaning pipe 5. The first mounting box 81 is detachably connected to the second moving mechanism 3. Multiple high-definition cameras 82 are installed on the first mounting box 81. The high-definition cameras 82 capture images of the inside of the pipe in real time, providing intuitive feedback on the degree of siltation and the condition of the pipe wall damage.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the detection component 9 includes a second mounting box 91, which is fitted outside the protective pipe 1. The second mounting box 91 is detachably connected to the first moving mechanism 2. Multiple phased array flexible probes 92 are installed on the second mounting box 91. By emitting ultrasonic waves through the phased array flexible probes 92 against the pipe wall, the ultrasonic waves can penetrate the pipe wall to detect the seepage of the external soil and the stability of the foundation structure, thus overcoming the limitations of traditional visual inspection.
[0040] In this system, after the detection component 9 and monitoring component 8 accurately locate the locations of siltation and damage, the control box 10, based on the detection results, prioritizes controlling the crushing mechanism 6 and the dredging component 7 to treat the blocked areas. During the dredging process, the monitoring component 8 monitors the dredging effect in real time. If residual or new siltation points are found, the crushing and dredging strategies are adjusted promptly to ensure thorough dredging while avoiding excessive operation that could damage the pipe wall.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a third mounting box 11 is installed on the monitoring component 8, and multiple pulse generators 12 are installed circumferentially on the third mounting box 11. Stress waves are emitted by the pulse generators 12, and hidden damage such as pipe wall cracks and corrosion is detected by echo analysis, with a detection accuracy of up to 0.1 mm.
[0042] Specifically, the camera provides visual positioning, the phased array probe and pulse generator provide physical parameter analysis, and combined with the positioning function of the multi-angle rotation mechanism, the fault location error can be controlled within ±5cm, which facilitates rapid response by maintenance personnel.
[0043] A control method for a universal rotating pressure testing tube sludge and damage detection and removal device includes the following steps: S1, connecting the protective tube 1 and the integrated control box 10 to an external power supply and control terminal; adjusting the first moving mechanism 2 and the second moving mechanism 3 to slowly lower the device through the pressure testing tube opening to a designated position; S2, activating the control box 10 to control the multi-angle rotation mechanism 4 to adjust the device's detection direction; using the detection component 9 to perform non-destructive testing on the pressure testing tube wall and surrounding structure to locate the sludge location and the damaged area of the tube wall; S3, controlling the first scraper 14 and the second scraper 16 to adhere to the tube wall. S4. Scrape off the silt and debris attached to the pipe wall surface, and simultaneously activate the sludge removal component 7 to suck up and discharge the scraped debris; S5. For stubborn clumps or gravel blockages, activate the crushing mechanism 6 to rotate at high speed to crush the blockage. During the crushing process, cooperate with the sludge removal component 7 to continuously suction under negative pressure to completely remove the crushed debris; S6. The monitoring component 8 captures real-time images of the inside of the pipe, and the pulse generator 12 emits stress waves to detect cracks in the pipe wall. The images and stress wave data are transmitted synchronously to the control terminal. Combined with the ultrasonic detection results of the detection component 9, a report on the siltation and damage status of the pressure measuring pipe is generated.
[0044] Specifically, the protective tube 1 and the integrated control box 10 are connected to an external power supply and control terminal. By adjusting the first telescopic component 203 of the first moving mechanism 2 and the second telescopic component 33 of the second moving mechanism 3, the first universal wheel 204 and the second universal wheel 34 are adapted to the diameter of the pressure measuring tube, and the device is slowly lowered to the designated position through the pressure measuring tube opening. The control box 10 is started to control the wire feeding machine 46 of the multi-angle rotation mechanism 4 to feed and reel in the wire 45, drive the steering tube 44 to rotate the hollow rotating tube 43, and adjust the detection direction of the device. Ultrasonic waves are emitted by the phased array flexible probe 92 of the detection component 9 to perform non-destructive testing on the pressure measuring tube wall and surrounding structure, and locate the siltation location and the damaged area of the tube wall. The third telescopic component 13 of the first moving mechanism 2 and the fourth telescopic component 15 of the second moving mechanism 3 are extended, causing the first scraper 14 and the second scraper 16 to adhere to the pipe wall. This drives the first and second moving mechanisms to move along the pressure measuring pipe, scraping away the silt and debris attached to the pipe wall surface. Simultaneously, the silt pump box 72 of the sludge removal component 7 is activated, sucking and discharging the scraped debris through the sludge suction hose 71. For stubborn clumps or gravel blockages, the drive motor 62 of the crushing mechanism 6 is activated, driving the unblocking drill bit 63 to rotate at high speed to crush the blockage. During the crushing process, the slots 64 of the support frame 61 assist the flow of debris, and in conjunction with the continuous negative pressure suction of the sludge removal component 7, the crushed debris is thoroughly removed. The high-definition camera 82 of the monitoring component 8 captures real-time images of the inside of the pipe, and the pulse generator 12 emits stress waves to detect cracks in the pipe wall. The images and stress wave data are transmitted synchronously to the control terminal, and combined with the ultrasonic detection results of the detection component 9, a report on the siltation and damage status of the pressure measuring pipe is generated. After the dredging and silt removal are completed, the control device is retrieved along the original path of the pressure testing pipe. The crushing mechanism 6 and the suction hose 71 of the dredging component 7, which are easily damaged, are disassembled from the dredging pipe 5 for cleaning and repair. The extension and steering functions of the first and second moving mechanisms and the multi-angle rotating mechanism are checked to ensure the equipment is reusable. The control box 10 centrally controls the operation of all components, supporting remote control and automatic operation via preset programs. Throughout the entire operation, operators do not need to directly enter the hazardous pressure testing pipe environment; they can operate the equipment and collect data through the control terminal, greatly reducing the intensity of manual operation and safety risks. Simultaneously, automated operation reduces operational errors and detection errors caused by human factors, improving work stability and reliability, and effectively reducing labor and time costs.
