Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas pipeline inspection technology, and in particular to an online inspection device for polyethylene gas pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Polyethylene gas pipelines are pipes made of polyethylene material, primarily used for transporting natural gas. Polyethylene gas pipelines are resistant to corrosion from various chemicals, thus reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, lowering costs. They also have good anti-aging properties, maintaining their performance and appearance for a long time. Compared to other metal pipelines, polyethylene gas pipelines are lighter, facilitating installation and transportation. Online gas pipeline monitoring ensures the pipeline is in a safe condition, removes obstacles that may affect monitoring, and allows for appropriate preventative measures. Online gas pipeline monitoring devices are professional gas detection equipment, such as infrared gas analyzers or combustible gas detectors, used to detect leaks inside the pipeline. If a leak is detected, its location and cause should be further determined.

[0003] A search revealed prior art, patent application number CN202321150559.3, which discloses an online gas pipeline inspection device. Through the cooperation of a worm gear, handle, worm wheel, first support rod, second support rod, support plate, first motor, and rollers, the handle drives the worm gear to rotate, the worm gear drives two worm wheels to rotate, the worm wheels drive the first support rod to rotate, the first support rod drives the second support rod to move, the two second support rods drive the support plate to move, the support plate drives the first motor and rollers to move, the first motor drives the rollers to rotate, and the drive mechanism drives the housing to move along the gas pipeline, thereby driving the outer shell and sleeve to move. This allows for the inspection of different locations on the gas pipeline without requiring manual inspection by holding the device and using a safety rope while climbing buildings, thus facilitating inspection while ensuring personal safety.

[0004] The above technical solution also has the following drawbacks: Before using the detection device, the entire device needs to be manually fixed to the gas pipeline. After the detection of a vertical gas pipeline is completed, the entire device also needs to be manually disassembled. During the installation and disassembly of the detection device, not only is the time of the staff greatly wasted, but also when the device is used to detect gas pipelines with a lot of dirt or cracks on the surface, the casing of the detection device will shake violently during the movement, which may even cause the detection device to fall and be damaged in severe cases. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

A shell is welded to one outer wall of the load-bearing plate. A cavity is formed in the inner wall of the shell, and a detector is installed inside the cavity.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the base box. A first sliding frame is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the front end of the base box. A first box door is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first sliding frame. A first forward and reverse motor is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the base plate, and a second forward and reverse motor is fixedly connected to the other end of the top of the base plate. The first forward and reverse motor can rotate together with the first threaded post on the first shaft core at the top of the first turntable. The second forward and reverse motor can rotate together with the second shaft core and the second threaded post on the outer wall of the slide rod at the top of the second turntable.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: Support plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer wall of the other side of the first side plate. A shaft is welded to the top of the opposite side of the support plate. A push-pull plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the shaft.

The outer wall of the first shaft core is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the center of the bottom of the first slide cabinet. A first threaded column is welded to the top of the first shaft core. A first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the first threaded column. The outer wall of the first threaded column is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first slider. When the first threaded column rotates, the first slider will slide up and down on the outer wall of the first threaded column. At this time, the second side plate and the second slide cabinet on one side of the outer wall of the first slider will also slide up and down together, thereby adjusting the height of the detection device.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: A load-bearing baffle is fixedly connected to the other end of the top of the base box. A second turntable is fixedly connected to the movable end of the second forward and reverse motor. Slide rods are welded to both ends of the top of the second turntable. A second shaft is slidably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the slide rod. The top of the outer wall of the second shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall at the center of the bottom of the second slide cabinet. A second threaded column is fixedly connected to the top of the second shaft. The top of the outer wall of the slide rod is slidably connected to both ends of the inner wall of the second threaded column. A second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the second threaded column. The outer wall of the second threaded column is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the second slider. When the second threaded column rotates, the second slider will slide up and down on the outer wall of the second threaded column. At this time, the mounting plate and detection mechanism on one side of the outer wall of the second slider will also slide up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the detection device.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: An installation ring is fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the cavity. An air suction hood is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the installation ring. A dustproof net is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the air suction hood. An air intake fan is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air suction hood. By setting a simple connection method between the air suction hood and the installation ring, the disassembly and assembly of the air suction hood is more convenient and quick, and it is also easy to clean the dust adhering to the surface of the dustproof net.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: A detection sensor is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the outer wall of the detector, and the center of one side of the outer wall of the load-bearing plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the detector. An air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one bottom end of the housing, and a control module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one top end of the housing. By setting the air outlet pipe, excess gas in the detection mechanism can be quickly discharged.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: A data cable is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the control module, and the bottom of the data cable is fixedly connected to the top center of the detector. An alarm light is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the control module, and an alarm is fixedly connected to the other end of the top of the control module. A second sliding frame is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the front end of the housing, and a second door is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding frame. After opening the second door, the detector can be replaced and repaired.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Workers can lift the handle frame and insert the handle bar at the bottom of the top block vertically downwards into the mounting plate to fix the entire testing mechanism. Workers can also hold a set of handle bars with one hand to operate and move the entire testing mechanism. If it is necessary to test a high gas pipeline, the testing mechanism can be installed on the mounting plate first, and then the entire device can be moved to the designated position. Then, by adjusting the second forward and reverse motor, the second slider can be moved upwards with the testing mechanism. At this time, the gas pipeline at a higher position can be tested. When the second slider moves to the top and can no longer move upwards, the second forward and reverse motor can be turned off while the first forward and reverse motor is adjusted. At this time, the first slider will continue to move upwards with the second slide cabinet and the testing mechanism. This structure not only expands the testing range of the testing device, but also reduces the workload of the testing personnel.

[0015] By installing a dustproof net at the top of the inner wall of the air intake hood, external dust can be prevented from being sucked into the detection mechanism, which not only improves the service life of the detection mechanism but also enhances its safety. By installing alarm lights and sirens, when a natural gas leak is detected, the alarm lights will illuminate and the sirens will sound. If the sound of the sirens disturbs residents, the sirens can be turned off separately. Attached Figure Description
