Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of online monitoring and automatic cleaning and maintenance technology for high-pressure shielded pumps, specifically to a self-flushing system and flushing method for the sight glass of a high-pressure shielded pump. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial fields such as oil and gas transportation and chemical fluid transfer, high-pressure canned motor pumps are core equipment for achieving long-distance, high-pressure transportation of media. To monitor the flow status of the media in the pump body and pipeline in real time and avoid equipment failure caused by abnormal media, a sight glass device needs to be installed in the canned motor pump pipeline. The flow rate, cleanliness, and operational stability of the media can be directly observed through the transparent sight glass tube. This is a key link to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the entire transportation system.
[0003] However, in actual operation, the medium in the high-pressure pipeline often carries tiny particulate impurities. After long-term operation, these impurities gradually adhere to the inner wall of the sight glass tube, forming a layer of dirt that is difficult to clean. Under certain operating conditions, the medium may also cause scaling due to changes in temperature and pressure, further obstructing the observation line of sight. To address this problem, existing technologies mostly rely on manual periodic disassembly and wiping or external simple flushing pipelines. This is not only cumbersome to operate and has a short maintenance cycle, but it is also ineffective at cleaning stubborn scale, and can easily lead to safety hazards due to blind spots in the observation.
[0004] Meanwhile, existing flushing solutions generally suffer from a lack of pressure control. The flushing medium pressure relies entirely on manual experience for adjustment, which can easily damage the sight glass and pipeline sealing structure due to improper pressure. Furthermore, flushing operations require shutdown and pipe disconnection, severely impacting the continuous operating efficiency of the delivery system. In addition, under manual operation and maintenance, the timing of sight glass cleaning depends entirely on the judgment of inspection personnel, making precise timed cleaning impossible. This results in both untimely cleaning and potential equipment damage due to over-cleaning. Moreover, the entire cleaning process lacks effective pressure monitoring and safety protection mechanisms, failing to automatically warn or shut down when pipelines are overpressurized, posing a significant safety risk to system operation.
[0005] On the other hand, the characteristics of media and the types of impurities vary greatly in different industrial scenarios, and the requirements for cleaning methods also differ. However, the cleaning components of traditional sight glasses are fixed and cannot be replaced, and the observation angle is limited, making it difficult to adapt to diverse working conditions.
[0006] Against this backdrop, developing a high-pressure shielded pump sight glass self-flushing system that can achieve automatic cleaning, pressure control, safety monitoring, and strong adaptability has become an urgent need to solve the pain points of existing technologies and improve the operational stability of high-pressure transmission systems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a self-rinsing system and method for high-pressure shielded pump sight glasses, which solves the problems of incomplete cleaning leading to blind spots, unstable rinsing pressure requiring shutdown, high manual maintenance costs and lack of safety protection, fixed structure, non-replaceable cleaning components, and poor adaptability in existing high-pressure shielded pump sight glasses during use.

[0037] As an optimized solution, the middle section of the monitoring horizontal tube is also equipped with a solenoid valve, which is connected to the PLC controller via a cable.
[0038] As an optimized solution, when using a self-flushing system to flush the sight glass of the high-pressure shielded pump, the specific flushing method is as follows: when the preset flushing cycle is reached or a manual start signal is received, the PLC controller triggers the flushing program.
[0039] First, open the diversion stop valve and the return stop valve to allow the diversion medium from the main oil and gas pipeline to flow into the pressure stabilizing and filtration module. After filtration and pressure stabilization, it is used as the flushing medium. Second, start the flushing supply pump and the rotary drive motor to perform rotary spraying and scraping.
[0040] Meanwhile, the pipeline pressure is monitored in real time by a pressure gauge, and the PLC controller adjusts the flushing supply pump power or the opening of the pressure regulating valve based on the pressure feedback.
[0041] After the preset rinsing time is reached, each actuator is shut down in sequence, and the system returns to standby mode.
[0042] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0043] 1. Significantly improves the efficiency of sight glass cleaning and the reliability of observation.
[0044] The system adopts a combined cleaning method of high-pressure jetting and mechanical scraping, which solves the problem that a single flushing method cannot thoroughly clean stubborn scale: During operation, the rotary drive motor drives the flushing bend, the flushing intermediate pipe and the cleaning scraper to move in a circular motion along the inner wall of the sight glass. The high-pressure medium sprayed by the pressurized flushing nozzle can impact and peel off the impurities attached to the inner wall of the sight glass, while the synchronously rotating cleaning scraper mechanically scrapes the inner wall. The two effects are combined to achieve efficient cleaning.
[0045] Meanwhile, the replaceable angled flushing pipe and angled flushing nozzle can adjust the media spray angle to form a specific impact angle with the scale, achieving precise cleaning of stubborn dirt under different working conditions, effectively avoiding blind spots in the observation of media flow status caused by sight glass contamination, and ensuring that operators can monitor the operation of media in the pipeline in real time.
[0046] 2. Ensure a stable and controllable flushing process to avoid damage to the sight glass and pipelines.
[0047] The design of the pressure-stabilizing filter module solves the problem of equipment damage caused by fluctuations in flushing pressure: the pressure regulating valves on the drain pipe and return pipe form a pressure linkage regulation mechanism through the pressure stabilizing pipe, which can accurately control the flushing medium pressure, avoiding both excessive pressure that could cause the sight glass to break and seals to be damaged, and excessive pressure that could affect the flushing effect.
[0048] The high-pressure filter filters the circulating medium to prevent new impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the sight glass during the rinsing process, ensuring the cleanliness of the sight glass after rinsing.
[0049] Meanwhile, the flushing medium circuit operates independently from the main oil and gas pipeline, and the flushing process does not interfere with the normal transport of the medium in the main pipeline, realizing online flushing and non-stop maintenance, which greatly improves the continuity of equipment operation.
[0050] 3. Achieve intelligent operation and full-process security protection, reducing manual operation and maintenance costs.
[0051] The monitoring and feedback module relies on the PLC controller to build an automated and intelligent operation system: the system supports flexible setting of rinsing cycle and rinsing duration, and can complete timed cleaning without manual supervision, which significantly reduces the workload of manual operation and maintenance.
[0052] Two monitoring risers collect the medium pressure in the front connection seat and the distribution box respectively, and the data is fed back to the pressure gauge in real time, so that the operator can intuitively grasp the system status;
[0053] The safety valve can automatically open to release pressure when the pipeline pressure exceeds a preset threshold. The PLC controller, through linkage with the solenoid valve, automatically adjusts the operating power of the flushing supply pump based on pressure monitoring data, or triggers shutdown protection when the pressure is abnormal. This fundamentally avoids safety hazards such as pipeline rupture and media leakage caused by overpressure operation, and improves the safety and reliability of system operation.
[0054] 4. Enhance system structural compatibility and operating condition adaptability
[0055] The shielded pump sight glass module adopts a modular assembly structure. The front pump cylinder, sight glass cylinder, and rear pump cylinder are fixed to the mounting base plate through the front connecting seat and the rear connecting seat, which makes disassembly and assembly convenient and facilitates later maintenance and replacement.
[0056] The shunt box features a centrally symmetrical observation port and glass window, which, together with a transparent viewing tube, enables multi-directional observation to meet the needs of different observation angles.
[0057] Meanwhile, the interchangeable design of the intermediate flushing pipe and the inclined flushing pipe allows the system to flexibly adjust the flushing scheme according to the type of medium and the characteristics of impurities, adapting to the high-pressure shielded pump sight glass cleaning needs under different working conditions, and possessing strong versatility and expandability.

[0097] The monitoring and feedback module includes a PLC controller 34, which is a small programmable logic controller that supports timed flushing parameter settings (flushing cycle adjustable from 1 to 24 hours, flushing duration adjustable from 5 to 30 seconds).
[0098] The PLC controller 34 is fixed with a monitoring pipeline assembly connected thereto. The monitoring pipeline assembly includes a monitoring horizontal pipe 35, and two monitoring vertical pipes 36 are fixedly connected to the monitoring horizontal pipe 35. The lower end of one monitoring vertical pipe 36 is fixed to the front connecting seat 6 and extends to its inner circumferential wall. The lower end of the other monitoring vertical pipe 36 is fixed to the diversion box 12 and extends to its outer inner wall.
[0099] An overflow connection port 37 is provided on the inner wall of the inner ring of the distribution box 12.
[0100] Safety valve 38 and pressure gauge 39 are installed on each horizontal monitoring pipe 35, and one-way valve 40 is installed on each vertical monitoring pipe 36.
[0101] A solenoid valve 41 is also installed in the middle section of the monitoring horizontal tube 35. The solenoid valve 41 is connected to the PLC controller 34 via a cable.
[0102] like Figures 11 to 13 In the second embodiment shown, the intermediate flushing pipe 24 between the two flushing bends 23 can be replaced with an oblique flushing pipe 42. Each oblique flushing pipe 42 has two oblique flushing nozzles 43 fixed on it. The above scheme can change the spray angle of the flushing medium so that it forms a specific flushing angle with the impurities and scale attached to the inner wall of the sight glass barrel 3. Combined with the rotation flushing method, it can effectively flush stubborn dirt.
[0103] When using this invention:
[0104] When the system is in the initial standby state, the medium in the main oil and gas transmission pipeline flows into the front pump cylinder 2 through the diversion oil inlet pipe 8, passes through the front connecting seat 6, the sight glass cylinder 3, and the rear connecting seat 7 in sequence, and finally enters the rear pump cylinder 4 and flows back to the main pipeline through the diversion return oil pipe 9, forming a medium flow loop.
[0105] At this time, the operator can use the transparent sight glass tube 3, along with the glass window 15 of the observation port 14 of the diversion box 12, to observe the flow status of the medium in the pipeline in real time.
[0106] When the system has been running for a long time and a large amount of impurities or dirt have accumulated on the surface of the sight glass 3, affecting observation, the PLC controller 34 triggers a rinsing command according to preset parameters, and the system enters the self-rinsing stage:
[0107] On one hand, the rotary drive motor 17 starts, and its output shaft drives the support turntable 19 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two flushing bends 23, several flushing intermediate pipes 24 and cleaning scraper 26 connected to the support turntable 19 to make circular motion along the inner circumferential wall of the sight glass tube 3.
[0108] On the other hand, the flushing supply pump 16 starts and delivers the flushing medium through the flushing supply pipe 21 to the three-way pipe joint 22. After being split, it enters the two flushing bends 23 and sprays high-pressure flushing medium onto the inner wall of the sight glass barrel 3 through the pressurized flushing nozzle 25 on the flushing intermediate pipe 24 to impact and peel off the attached impurities and scale.
[0109] At the same time, the cleaning scraper 26, which rotates synchronously with the flushing bend 23, mechanically scrapes against the inner wall of the sight glass barrel 3, forming a synergistic cleaning effect with the high-pressure jet and improving flushing efficiency.
[0110] If a stronger flushing effect is required, the intermediate flushing pipe 24 can be replaced with an angled flushing pipe 42. The angled flushing nozzle 43 can be used to change the spray angle of the flushing medium, so that it forms a specific impact angle with the impurities on the inner wall of the sight glass barrel 3. Combined with the rotating flushing action, it can achieve thorough cleaning of stubborn scale.
[0111] During the rinsing process, the pressure stabilizing and filtering module continuously ensures that the rinsing pressure is stable and controllable: the pressure regulating valve 32 on the drain pipe 27 and the return pipe 29 work together to achieve pressure balance regulation through the pressure stabilizing pipe 33, accurately controlling the pressure of the rinsing medium, avoiding damage to the sight glass tube 3 due to excessive pressure or affecting the rinsing effect due to excessively low pressure; the pure medium filtered by the high pressure filter 31 is continuously supplied to the rinsing execution module to ensure that no new impurities adhere to the inner wall of the sight glass tube 3 during the entire rinsing process, ensuring the clarity of observation of the sight glass after rinsing.
[0112] The monitoring and feedback module monitors the system's operating status throughout the process: two monitoring vertical pipes 36 collect the medium pressure in the front connection seat 6 and the diversion box 12 respectively, and the pressure data is transmitted to the pressure gauge 39 through the monitoring horizontal pipe 35, which is convenient for operators to view intuitively; the safety valve 38 is on standby in real time, and automatically opens to release pressure when the pipeline pressure exceeds the preset threshold, ensuring the safe operation of the system.
[0113] The PLC controller 34 is linked to the solenoid valve 41 on the monitoring horizontal pipe 35 via a cable. It automatically adjusts the operating power of the flushing supply pump 16 according to the pressure monitoring data, or triggers the shutdown protection when the pressure is abnormal, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the flushing process.
[0114] After the rinsing time reaches the preset value of PLC controller 34, the system stops rinsing: the rotary drive motor 17 and the rinsing supply pump 16 stop, the cleaning scraper 26 and the high-pressure jet action stop; the diversion check valve 28 and the return check valve 30 close, and the pressure stabilizing filter module stops working; the system returns to the initial standby state, waiting for the next rinsing cycle to be triggered, while the sight glass 3 remains clear, allowing the operator to continuously observe the flow of the medium.
