Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of diffusion pipe, in particular to a natural gas intelligent diffusion pipe. BACKGROUND

[0002] The natural gas diffusion pipe is an indispensable safety device in the operation, maintenance and emergency repair of urban gas pipeline network. Its main function is to safely guide the residual natural gas in the pipeline to the high altitude far from the operation area for release and dilution when the pipeline is shut down, replaced, repaired or leaks, thereby effectively preventing the accumulation of gas in low-lying areas or enclosed spaces and avoiding safety accidents such as fire, explosion or oxygen deficiency asphyxiation, and is a key device to protect the lives and property of workers and the public.

[0003] At present, the traditional diffusion pipe commonly used in the daily operation and emergency rescue of the gas industry has many shortcomings. First of all, the specifications, models and interface types of the gas diffusion pipe in use are various, resulting in large space occupation and messy placement in the storage of the repair vehicle, and it is difficult to quickly identify and use in emergency situations. Secondly, in order to deal with pipelines of different diameters and pressures, workers usually need to carry a large number of accessories and tools such as diffusion pipes of multiple models, various conversion joints, valves, pressure gauges and adjustable wrenches, making the entire set of equipment heavy and inconvenient to carry, which reduces the emergency response efficiency. Thirdly, for facilities such as valve wells and pressure regulating boxes located in deep wells or underground spaces, the existing diffusion pipe is often difficult to effectively extend to the wellhead for safe diffusion due to its fixed length and rigid structure, which poses a safety hazard. In addition, the existing detection operation process has complicated steps: before detecting the gas concentration and pressure, valves, pressure gauges and various conversion joints need to be temporarily assembled on the diffusion pipe, which not only consumes time and effort in operation, but also easily causes interface wear during repeated disassembly and assembly, introducing new leakage points. Most importantly, when detecting the gas concentration, the connection between the pipeline and the detection instrument usually lacks effective in-situ leakage detection function. If gas leaks occur at this connection, the leaked gas will directly escape into the atmosphere without being captured by the detection instrument, resulting in a lower detected gas concentration than the actual concentration in the pipeline. This "negative deviation" can seriously mislead the judgment of the workers on the safety of the site, which may misjudge the dangerous environment as a safe environment, thereby burying a huge safety accident hazard.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention is a natural gas intelligent venting pipe, including a first venting pipe fitting 200 connected to a venting valve 101 on a gas pipeline 100. A flexible pipe 300 is connected to the end of the first venting pipe fitting 200 away from the gas pipeline 100, and a second venting pipe fitting 400 is connected to the end of the flexible pipe 300 away from the first venting pipe fitting 200. A support frame 500 placed on the ground is installed on the outer wall of the second venting pipe fitting 400, and the support frame 500 is used to support the weight of the second venting pipe fitting 400. A bypass pipe fitting 600 is installed near the top of the first venting pipe fitting 200, and the bypass pipe fitting 600 is used to vent and replace the natural gas in the gas pipeline 100. A monitoring mechanism 700 for real-time detection of natural gas concentration is installed at the end of the second venting pipe fitting 400 away from the flexible pipe 300, and a gas leakage detection mechanism 800 is installed between the monitoring mechanism 700 and the second venting pipe fitting 400.

[0024] It should be noted that during use, the first vent fitting 200 is connected to the vent valve 101 of the gas pipeline 100. After the valve is opened, the natural gas flows sequentially through the first vent fitting 200, the flexible pipeline 300, and the second vent fitting 400. The flexible pipeline 300 can flexibly adjust its direction and length according to the site terrain to adapt to complex environments such as deep wells. The second vent fitting 400 is stably supported on the ground by the support frame 500, which not only ensures a safe venting height but also effectively reduces the pressure on the vent valve 101, making it less prone to damage due to excessive weight. The bypass fitting 600 integrated on the first vent fitting 200 can perform pressure monitoring and nitrogen injection to achieve pipeline replacement operations. The monitoring mechanism 700 located at the end of the system performs real-time concentration detection of the flowing natural gas, while the leak detection mechanism 800 continuously monitors the sealing status at the connection between the monitoring mechanism 700 and the second vent fitting 400 to ensure the accuracy of the detection data.

[0025] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the first venting pipe fitting 200 includes a first steel pipe 202 with a conversion joint 201, a second steel pipe 204 with a first quick connector 203, and a ball valve 205. The conversion joint 201 is installed at the bottom end of the first steel pipe 202, and the first steel pipe 202 is connected to the exhaust port of the venting valve 101 through the conversion joint 201. The ball valve 205 is installed between the top end of the first steel pipe 202 and the bottom end of the second steel pipe 204, and the ball valve 205 is used to control the on / off state of the first steel pipe 202 and the second steel pipe 204. The first quick connector 203 is installed at the top end of the second steel pipe 204, and the end of the flexible pipeline 300 away from the second venting pipe fitting 400 is inserted into the first quick connector 203.

[0026] It should be noted that the first vent fitting 200 is quickly adapted to the exhaust port of the vent valve 101 through the conversion connector 201 at its bottom. During operation, the ball valve 205 can be operated to control the gas flow. The gas flows through the first steel pipe 202 and the second steel pipe 204 in sequence, and finally connects to the flexible pipeline 300 through the first quick connector 203 installed at the top of the second steel pipe 204. In this embodiment, the first quick connector 203 is a high-pressure socket quick connector. The high-pressure socket structure of the first quick connector 203 ensures both the convenience of the connection process and the reliability of the sealing at the interface, effectively solving the problem of having to carry multiple connectors and tools in traditional operations, and significantly improving the efficiency of on-site installation.

[0027] like Figures 2-3As shown, the second venting pipe fitting 400 includes a second quick connector 401, a third steel pipe 402, and a threaded connector 403. The second quick connector 401 is installed at the bottom end of the third steel pipe 402. The end of the flexible pipe 300 away from the first venting pipe fitting 200 is inserted into the second quick connector 401. The threaded connector 403 is installed at the top end of the third steel pipe 402, and the third steel pipe 402 is connected to the monitoring mechanism 700 through the threaded connector 403.

[0028] It should be noted that the flexible pipeline 300 achieves rapid connection with the third steel pipe 402 of the second venting fitting 400 through the second quick connector 401. In this embodiment, the second quick connector 401 has the same structure as the first quick connector 203, and is also a high-pressure socket quick connector, ensuring that the intermediate connection and the inlet connection maintain the same convenience and sealing reliability. After the gas flows through the third steel pipe 402, it establishes a connection with the monitoring mechanism 700 through the threaded connector 403 at the top. This standardized design using quick connectors of the same specification significantly improves the standardization of pipeline connection and disassembly and assembly efficiency, effectively solving the cumbersome operation problem of frequently changing different specification connectors in traditional operations.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring mechanism 700 includes a housing 701 with a threaded interface 7011, a laser 702, a reflector 703, and a photodetector 704. The housing 701 has symmetrically arranged partitions that divide the air chamber. The threaded interface 7011 is installed at the bottom of the housing 701 and communicates with the air chamber. The threaded interface 7011 is threadedly connected to the threaded connector 403. Two reflectors 703 are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the two partitions. The laser 702 and the photodetector 704 are installed on the side wall of one of the partitions near both ends. The laser beam emitted by the laser 702 is received by the photodetector 704 after being reflected multiple times by the two reflectors 703.

[0030] It should be noted that the monitoring mechanism 700 achieves a sealed connection with the threaded joint 403 of the second venting pipe 400 through the threaded interface 7011 at the bottom of the housing 701. After the gas enters the gas chamber inside the housing 701, the laser 702 emits a near-infrared laser beam with a wavelength precisely tuned to the characteristic absorption line of methane. This laser beam undergoes multiple reflections through two mirrors 703 within the gas chamber, forming a long optical path propagation, which greatly increases the interaction distance between the laser and the gas molecules. When methane gas is present, the gas molecules absorb the laser energy of a specific wavelength, causing the light intensity to attenuate. After multiple reflections, the laser is finally received by the photodetector 704. By comparing the difference between the emitted and received light intensities, the gas concentration can be accurately calculated based on the Lambert-Beer law. This detection method using long-path laser absorption spectroscopy significantly improves the detection sensitivity, enabling the detection of trace leaks at the ppm level. It effectively solves the measurement deviation problem caused by inaccurate sampling in traditional detection methods, providing reliable data support for on-site operations.

[0031] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the support frame 500 includes a mounting ring 501, telescopic legs 502, a connecting rod 503, and a sliding member 504. The mounting ring 501 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the third steel pipe 402. The three telescopic legs 502 are evenly distributed around the mounting ring 501 and are hinged to the mounting ring 501. The sliding member 504 is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the third steel pipe 402. One end of the connecting rod 503 is hinged to the side wall of the telescopic leg 502, and the other end of the connecting rod 503 is hinged to the side wall of the sliding member 504.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the telescopic leg 502 can be adjusted in length as needed. During operation, the sliding part 504, which is movably sleeved on the third steel pipe 402, is adjusted up and down, which drives the connecting rod 503 hinged to it to push the telescopic leg 502 to unfold or retract, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment of the support height. This allows the entire support frame 500 to be adjusted by a single person, ensuring that the second venting pipe 400 is always at a safe venting height. It also effectively solves the problems of cumbersome adjustment and inconvenience of carrying traditional supports, and is particularly suitable for stable operation in uneven sites such as deep wells and slopes.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figures 4-5 As shown, the monitoring mechanism 700 also includes a display screen 705, a microprocessor 706, a battery pack 707, a remote transmission antenna 708, and a warning indicator light 709. The display screen 705 is embedded in one side wall of the housing 701. The microprocessor 706 and the battery pack 707 are both installed on the inner side wall of the housing 701. The remote transmission antenna 708 and the warning indicator light 709 are both installed on the top of the housing 701. The top of the housing 701 is also equipped with a vent 7012 that communicates with the air chamber.

[0034] It should be noted that the microprocessor 706 processes the laser intensity data collected by the photodetector 704 in real time and calculates the gas concentration. The processing result is displayed in real time on the display screen 705 on the side wall of the housing 701. The battery pack 707 provides independent power supply for the laser 702, photodetector 704 and microprocessor 706. When the gas concentration exceeds the standard, the microprocessor 706 immediately triggers the top warning indicator 709 to issue a visual alarm. At the same time, the concentration data and alarm information are wirelessly transmitted to the monitoring center through the remote transmission antenna 708. The detected gas is finally safely discharged through the vent 7012 on the top of the housing 701. This intelligent design that integrates detection, display, alarm and remote communication realizes the dual guarantee of real-time local reading of gas concentration data and remote monitoring. It effectively solves the problems of data recording relying on manual and delayed alarm response in traditional detection, and significantly improves the safety of on-site operations and the level of information management.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the bypass fitting 600 includes a branch pipe 601, a pressure gauge 602, and a nitrogen injection port 604 with a nitrogen injection valve 603. The branch pipe 601 is connected to the side wall of the first steel pipe 202 near the top, and the end of the branch pipe 601 away from the first steel pipe 202 is a closed structure. The nitrogen injection port 604 is connected to the top position of the end of the branch pipe 601 away from the first steel pipe 202. The nitrogen injection valve 603 is installed on the nitrogen injection port 604. The pressure gauge 602 is installed on the branch pipe 601 and is located between the first steel pipe 202 and the branch pipe 601.

[0036] It should be noted that the pressure gauge 602, installed on the branch pipe 601, can monitor the pressure changes of the main pipeline in real time. When pipeline replacement work is required, nitrogen gas is introduced from the nitrogen injection port 604 by opening the nitrogen injection valve 603. The nitrogen gas enters the first steel pipe 202 through the branch pipe 601 to achieve safe replacement. This design, which integrates pressure monitoring and gas replacement functions, allows operators to complete pressure reading and inert gas injection operations without disassembling the main pipeline.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figures 7-9As shown, the leak detection mechanism 800 includes a liquid storage shell 801, a piston 802, a connecting member 803, an elastic compression member 804, and a detection shell 805. The liquid storage shell 801 and the detection shell 805 are both fitted onto the outer wall of the third steel pipe 402 near the top, and the detection shell 805 is located above the liquid storage shell 801. The piston 802 is installed inside the liquid storage shell 801, and the piston 802 is slidably connected to the third steel pipe 402. The connecting member 803 is installed between the piston 802 and the detection shell 805. The elastic compression member 804 is installed on the piston 802. When the threaded interface 7011 is tightened with the threaded joint 403, the piston 802 is compressed by the elastic compression member 804 and slides down, so that the liquid in the liquid storage shell 801 enters the detection shell 805 through the connecting member 803.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the liquid in the storage shell 801 is water, and the detection shell 805 is made of transparent acrylic. When the threaded interface 7011 of the monitoring mechanism 700 is tightened with the threaded connector 403, the axial pressure generated pushes the piston 802 downward in the storage shell 801 through the elastic extrusion member 804, pressing the liquid in the storage shell 801 into the detection shell 805 above through the connecting member 803 to form a visible liquid column. This design realizes the self-verification function of the connection sealing state through mechanical linkage. The detection preparation is automatically completed during the tightening process. When a leak occurs at the connection, external gas will enter the detection shell 805 through the leak point, generating continuous bubbles in the liquid column to form an intuitive visual warning. This effectively solves the problem that it is difficult to detect the slight leakage at the connection of the detection instrument in traditional operations, which leads to inaccurate concentration readings, and provides an important guarantee for the reliability of the detection data.

[0039] like Figures 9-10 As shown, the elastic compression member 804 includes a slide rod 8041 and a spring 8042. The slide rod 8041 is mounted on the top of the piston 802, and the top end of the slide rod 8041 slides through the top edge of the liquid storage shell 801 and extends upward. The spring 8042 is mounted between the piston 802 and the top edge of the liquid storage shell 801, and the spring 8042 is sleeved on the slide rod 8041. A pressure ring 900 for compressing the slide rod 8041 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the threaded interface 7011.

[0040] It should be noted that when the threaded interface 7011 of the monitoring mechanism 700 is tightened with the threaded connector 403, the pressure ring 900 fixed to the threaded interface 7011 moves down and squeezes the slide rod 8041. The slide rod 8041 drives the piston 802 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 8042 and move smoothly down in the liquid storage shell 801, thereby pressing the liquid in the liquid storage shell 801 into the detection shell 805 through the connecting member 803 to form a detection liquid column. When a leak occurs at the connection, external gas enters the detection shell 805 and generates continuous bubbles in the liquid column, forming a visual leak warning. When disassembling, as the threaded interface 7011 is unscrewed, the pressure ring 900 releases the pressure on the slide rod 8041, the spring 8042 pushes the piston 802 to reset, and the liquid in the detection shell 805 flows back to the liquid storage shell 801 through the connecting member 803, realizing automatic reset.

[0041] like Figures 9-10 As shown, the connecting member 803 includes a fixed tube 8031 ​​and a flexible tube 8032. The fixed tube 8031 ​​passes through the piston 802 and its top end is connected to the flexible tube 8032. The end of the flexible tube 8032 away from the fixed tube 8031 ​​is connected to the bottom of the liquid storage shell 801.

[0042] It should be noted that when the piston 802 is squeezed downwards, the liquid in the reservoir 801 is forced into the detection shell 805 through the hose 8032 and the fixed tube 8031; when the piston 802 rises and resets under the action of the spring 8042, the fixed tube 8031 ​​moves upwards accordingly and its top end is tightly pressed against the bottom of the detection shell 805 at the connection point of the hose 8032, forming a mechanical seal, ensuring that the liquid flowing back to the reservoir 801 will not leak out. This automatic sealing design not only ensures the reliability of the detection process, but also realizes the complete reset of the system, providing convenience for reuse.

[0043] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely a few specific examples of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
