Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pipeline weld detection, and in particular to a pipeline girth weld detection system and a method of using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the petroleum, natural gas, chemical and other industrial fields, the safety and reliability of pipelines, which are the main means of material transmission, are of great importance. A pipeline system is usually formed by connecting long sections of steel pipes through welding, forming a continuous material transmission channel. At the girth weld, cracks, slag inclusions, incomplete fusion and other defects are prone to occur, which directly affect the overall strength and sealing performance of the pipeline. In severe cases, it may lead to material leakage and even cause safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the girth weld of the pipeline.

[0003] In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of pipeline girth weld detection, while reducing the cost of pipeline girth weld detection, an automatic pipeline girth weld detection device has emerged.

[0033] The technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0034] Pipeline 5 is widely used in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemicals, serving to transport materials. The material of pipeline 5 is selected according to the different media being transported, such as carbon steel or stainless steel. To improve the corrosion resistance of pipeline 5, a rubber protective layer is also coated on its outer wall.

[0035] Since the material conveying distance is usually long, and the length of a single pipe 5 is limited, it is necessary to use welding to connect multiple pipes 5 to meet the length requirements of the actual project. The connection position of two adjacent pipes 5 will generate an annular pipe weld 501.

[0036] If welding parameters are not properly controlled or the operation is not standardized during the welding process, defects such as cracks, slag inclusions, and lack of fusion may occur, which will damage the structural strength and sealing of pipeline 5 and affect the transportation of materials.

[0037] The pipeline circumferential weld inspection system of the present invention includes a steel strip 1, two walking devices 2, a radiation generating device 3 and a radiation imaging device 4, which are installed on the pipeline 5 and inspect the pipeline weld 501 by means of DR inspection (Digital Radiography).

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the steel strip 1 is fixed around the periphery of the pipe 5 and is located next to the pipe weld 501. The traveling device 2 is set on the steel strip 1 and can move along the steel strip 1. The two traveling devices 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The radiation generating device 3 and the radiation imaging device 4 are respectively fixed on the two traveling devices 2. The traveling devices 2 drive the radiation generating device 3 and the radiation imaging device 4 to move in a circle on the pipe 5.

[0039] The X-ray generating device 3 and the X-ray imaging device 4 are positioned relative to each other about the axis of the pipe 5. The X-rays emitted by the X-ray generating device 3 penetrate the pipe weld 501 and are received by the X-ray imaging device 4. Digital conversion is used to form an image reflecting the state of the pipe weld 501, thus achieving non-destructive testing of the pipe weld 501. The traveling device 2 moves in a circle along the steel belt 1, and the two traveling devices 2 move synchronously on the steel belt 1, allowing the X-ray imaging device 4 to receive complete information about the pipe weld 501 for comprehensive inspection of the circular pipe weld 501.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a spacer is provided between the steel strip 1 and the pipe 5, forming a uniform annular gap between the steel strip 1 and the sidewall of the pipe 5. Figure 12 As shown, the walking device 2 is equipped with two drive wheels and two clamping wheels, and the distance between the clamping wheels and the drive wheels is adjustable. By adjusting the distance between the clamping wheels and the drive wheels, the walking device 2 can be clamped on the steel belt 1, and then the walking device 2 can be moved on the steel belt 1 by driving the drive wheels.

[0041] The drive wheel contains gears, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple toothed grooves 102 are provided on the annular sidewall of the steel belt 1. The multiple toothed grooves 102 are arranged in a circumferential array along the steel belt 1. The distance between two adjacent toothed grooves 102 is 0, thereby forming multiple continuous tooth-like structures on the annular sidewall of the steel belt 1. These tooth-like structures mesh with the gears in the drive wheel, thereby improving the movement stability of the walking device 2 on the steel belt 1.

[0042] The pipes 5 used in industries such as petroleum and chemical engineering are relatively large, which leads to an increase in the weight and size of the steel strip 1 installed around the pipe 5. This is not conducive to improving the ease of installation of the steel strip 1, nor is it conducive to improving the detection efficiency of this detection system.

[0043] Therefore, this application makes improvements to steel strip 1. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the steel strip 1 includes a first strip body 11, a second strip body 12, a quick-connect buckle 13, and a screw-on buckle 14. Both the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12 are arc-shaped, and the length of the first strip body 11 is less than the length of the second strip body 12. The quick-connect buckle 13 and the screw-on buckle 14 are both arranged between the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12, so that the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12 form a ring and surround the periphery of the pipe 5.

[0044] When installing the steel strip 1, the quick-connect buckle 13 is located directly below the steel strip 1, and the screw-on buckle 14 is located above the side of the steel strip 1. First, the screw-on buckle 14 is used to connect the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12, thus separating the quick-connect buckle 13 and forming an opening at the lower part of the steel strip 1, so that the steel strip 1 can be fitted onto the periphery of the pipe 5 from top to bottom. After the steel strip 1 is fitted onto the periphery of the pipe 5, the quick-connect buckle 13 is connected, and the screw-on buckle 14 is tightened, thus fixing the steel strip 1 onto the pipe 5.

[0045] During the above process, the screw-on clip 14 is located above the side of the pipe 5, which facilitates the screwing operation for the operator. This eliminates the need for the operator to perform the screwing operation in an uncomfortable position, and also avoids the need to rotate the steel strip 1, thus preventing damage to the rubber coating around the pipe 5. At the same time, the screw-on clip 14 does not need to be separated throughout the process, eliminating the need for alignment operations of its components, further improving the ease of operation.

[0046] In one preferred embodiment, the quick-connect buckle 13 includes a first clamping rod 131, a second clamping rod 132, a spring 133, a limiting block 134, and a pad 135, as shown below. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 are both rotatably mounted on the first belt body 11, and a limiting groove 101 is provided at one end of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132. The spring 133 is abutted between the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 and is located at the end of the first clamping rod 131 away from the limiting groove 101. The limiting block 134 is fixedly mounted on the second belt body 12.

[0047] When the second belt 12 approaches the first belt 11, the limiting block 134 will abut against the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132, causing them to rotate. This will separate the ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 that are close to the second belt 12, and bring the ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 that are away from the second belt 12 together, causing the spring 133 to contract. When the limiting block 134 moves to the position of the limiting groove 101 between the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132, the spring 133 will extend, causing the ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 that are close to the second belt 12 to converge, so that the limiting block 134 is engaged with the limiting groove 101, thereby realizing the connection of the quick-connect buckle 13 to the first belt 11 and the second belt 12.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, when the left ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 are manually pressed and brought closer together, the right ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 can be separated, thereby allowing the limiting block 134 to quickly disengage from the limiting groove 101, thus realizing the quick disassembly of the quick-connect buckle 13.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the pad 135 is fixedly disposed between the first clamping rod 131 and the first belt body 11, and also fixedly disposed between the second clamping rod 132 and the first belt body 11, and the pad 135 is fixedly disposed between the limiting block 134 and the second belt body 12.

[0050] The pad 135 is arc-shaped on the side near the first belt 11 and the second belt 12 to fit against the first belt 11 and the second belt 12, and the side of the pad 135 away from the first belt 11 and the second belt 12 is flat, so that the limiting block 134 can be quickly assembled with the limiting groove 101.

[0051] The quick-connect buckles 13 are preferably configured in pairs, with the two quick-connect buckles 13 arranged opposite each other, so as to improve the connection stability and reliability of the quick-connect buckles 13 to the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12.

[0052] like Figures 5-8 As shown, the limiting groove 101 includes a sliding groove 1011, a through groove 1012, and a locking groove 1013. The sliding groove 1011 is formed in the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132. The through groove 1012 is formed in the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 and extends to the side of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 near the first belt body 11. The locking groove 1013 is formed in the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 and communicates with the sliding groove 1011.

[0053] like Figure 8As shown, the limiting block 134 includes a connecting rod 1341 and a locking block 1342. The connecting rod 1341 is fixedly mounted on the second belt body 12 or the pad 135 and slidably mounted in the through groove 1012. The locking block 1342 is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 1341 and slidably mounted in the slide groove 1011. The locking block 1342 can engage with the locking groove 1013, thereby improving the connection stability between the limiting block 134 and the limiting groove 101.

[0054] The through slot 1012 can also extend to the side of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 away from the first belt body 11, so as to facilitate external observation of the engagement state of the locking block 1342 and the locking slot 1013.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side of the locking block 1342 away from the spring 133 is inclined, and the side of the slot 1013 away from the spring 133 is also inclined. When the fastener 14 is tightened, the two inclined surfaces abut against each other, thereby preventing the right ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 from separating and improving the connection firmness of the quick-connect buckle 13.

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, edge line m is the intersection line between the side of the locking block 1342 away from the spring 133 and the side of the locking block 1342 close to the spring 133, and edge line n is the intersection line between the side of the slot 1013 away from the spring 133 and the slide groove 1011, and edge line m and edge line n are located on the same side of the through groove 1012.

[0057] When the locking block 1342 slides within the slide groove 1011, the locking block 1342 will only engage with the slot 1013 after the edge line m coincides with the edge line n. Figure 7 As shown, this state is the instant the locking block 1342 is inserted into the slot 1013. At this moment, the end of the second belt body 12 abuts against the end of the first belt body 11, thus preventing the locking block 1342 from sliding further to the left. However, the locking block 1342 is spaced apart from the side of the slot 1013 away from the spring 133. At this time, the locking block 1342 can be brought into contact with the side of the slot 1013 away from the spring 133 by tightening the screw-on buckle 14, i.e. Figure 6 The state shown.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, when the card block 1342 is just inserted into the card slot 1013, that is, when the end of the second belt body 12 abuts against the end of the first belt body 11, the distance between the edge line m and the edge line n in the length direction of the slide groove 1011 is 0; Figure 6As shown, when the locking block 1342 abuts against the side of the slot 1013 away from the spring 133, the distance between the edge line m and the edge line n along the length of the slide groove 1011 is equal to the width of the tooth groove 102, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, when the second belt 12 and the first belt 11 are connected, the distance between the second belt 12 and the first belt 11 is the width of the tooth groove 102. The ends of the first belt 11 and the second belt 12 both form a half-tooth structure. This not only ensures the continuity of the tooth structure and enables the walking device 2 to move stably, but also increases the end face area of ​​the first belt 11 and the end face area of ​​the second belt 12, thereby improving the docking stability of the second belt 12 and the first belt 11.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, when the right end of the first clamping rod 131 and the right end of the second clamping rod 132 are separated, the limiting block 134 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 101 to separate the second belt body 12 and the first belt body 11. Therefore, during the transportation of the steel belt 1, both ends of the first belt body 11 can be connected with both ends of the second belt body 12, thereby avoiding damage to the ends of the first belt body 11 or the second belt body 12 during transportation.

[0060] In one preferred embodiment, the screw-on buckle 14 includes a fixed base 141, a rotating frame 142, a screw 143, and a clamping base 144, such as Figure 9 As shown, the fixed seat 141 is fixedly mounted on the second belt body 12, one end of the rotating frame 142 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 141, the screw 143 is threadedly connected to the other end of the rotating frame 142, and the clamping seat 144 is fixedly mounted on the first belt body 11. By rotating the rotating frame 142, the screw 143 is moved to the side of the clamping seat 144 away from the second belt body 12. By rotating the screw 143, the screw 143 and the side of the clamping seat 144 away from the second belt body 12 can be made to abut against each other, thereby achieving the tensioning of the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12, so that the two are connected together.

[0061] In the prior art, in order to facilitate the wrapping and fixing of the steel strip 1 around the pipe 5, the steel strip 1 needs to have a certain degree of elasticity so that its two ends can be separated. However, the elastic steel strip 1 will undergo certain deformation during processing, transportation and disassembly, affecting the walking trajectory of the walking device 2, which will affect the detection accuracy of the detection system, and may even affect the normal operation of the detection system.

[0062] To ensure testing accuracy, this application specifies that the steel strip 1 is made of a rigid material, preventing deformation during processing, transportation, and assembly / disassembly. Correspondingly, the screw-on buckle 14 has been modified as follows:

[0063] The screw-on buckle 14 also includes a threaded sleeve seat 145, which is fixedly mounted on the first belt body 11. The screw 143 includes a thin screw 1431 and a coarse screw 1432. The thin screw 1431 is threadedly connected to the rotating frame 142. The outer diameter of the coarse screw 1432 is larger than the outer diameter of the thin screw 1431, and the coarse screw 1432 is coaxially fixed to the thin screw 1431. Figure 9 As shown, by rotating the thin screw 1431, the coarse screw 1432 can be made to abut against the clamping seat 144, thereby connecting the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12.

[0064] like Figure 10 As shown, the threaded sleeve seat 145 has a threaded hole. By rotating the fine screw 1431, the coarse screw 1432 can be moved away from the clamping seat 144, and the coarse screw 1432 can be fixedly connected to the threaded hole of the threaded sleeve seat 145 through thread engagement.

[0065] The rotation axis of the rotating frame 142 corresponds to the connection position of the first belt body 11 and the second belt body 12. When the coarse screw 1432 is fixed together with the screw sleeve seat 145 by threads, the rotation of the rotating frame 142 can make the steel belt 1 form as shown in the figure. Figure 11 The state shown is so that the steel strip 1 can be installed on the pipe 5.

[0066] like Figure 9 As shown, by rotating the thin screw 1431, the coarse screw 1432 can be separated from the screw sleeve seat 145 to cooperate with the clamping seat 144, thereby realizing the switching of the state of the screw 143.

[0067] The method of using the pipeline circumferential weld inspection system of the present invention is as follows:

[0068] S1, firstly, by separating the ends of the first clamping rod 131 and the second clamping rod 132 away from the spring 133, the quick-connect buckle 13 is released; then, by rotating the thin screw 1431, the thick screw 1432 is fixedly connected to the screw sleeve seat 145, and by rotating the rotating frame 142, the end of the first belt body 11 away from the screw fastening buckle 14 is separated from the end of the second belt body 12 away from the screw fastening buckle 14.

[0069] S2, place the first belt 11 and the second belt 12 on the pipe 5 from top to bottom, and position the first belt 11 and the second belt 12 on one side of the pipe weld 501, position the screw fastener 14 above the side of the pipe 5 closest to the operator, and position the quick-connect fastener 13 on the bottom side of the pipe 5.

[0070] S3, bring the end of the first belt 11 away from the screw-on buckle 14 and the end of the second belt 12 away from the screw-on buckle 14 closer together, so that the limiting block 134 is engaged in the limiting groove 101, and the quick-connect buckle 13 is connected. Then rotate the thin screw 1431 in the screw-on buckle 14 so that the thick screw 1432 abuts against the clamping seat 144, thereby realizing the docking of the end of the first belt 11 away from the quick-connect buckle 13 and the end of the second belt 12 away from the quick-connect buckle 13.

[0071] S4, install the X-ray generating device 3 and the X-ray imaging device 4 on the two walking devices 2 respectively.

[0072] S5, two walking devices 2 are installed on the first belt 11 or the second belt 12, and by moving the two walking devices 2, the X-ray generating device 3 and the X-ray imaging device 4 are set relative to each other about the axis of the pipe 5. Finally, the two walking devices 2 are moved synchronously on the steel belt 1, so that the X-rays emitted by the X-ray generating device 3 can pass through different positions of the pipe weld 501 and be received by the X-ray imaging device 4, so as to realize the comprehensive inspection of the pipe weld 501.

[0073] 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.
