Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of oil transportation pipeline cleaning technology, and particularly to pipelines with special hard objects. Background Technology

[0002] During oil extraction and long-distance pipeline transportation, crude oil has a complex composition, containing substances such as paraffin, asphalt, colloids, and salts. Combined with fluctuations in the transportation environment, such as temperature and pressure, these substances easily deposit and solidify on the inner wall of the pipeline, forming hard blockages such as wax blockage and scale blockage. These hard deposits inside the pipeline cause many serious problems: First, they reduce the effective flow cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline, increasing the resistance to crude oil transportation, leading to a significant increase in transportation energy consumption and oil transportation costs. Second, in severe cases, they can cause partial or complete blockage of the pipeline, forcing the interruption of oil transportation operations. This not only affects the normal supply of oil but also requires a large investment of manpower and resources for unblocking, resulting in huge economic losses. Third, the long-term adhesion of hard deposits to the inner wall of the pipeline accelerates corrosion, reduces the service life of the pipeline, and may even cause pipeline leaks and other safety accidents, threatening the ecological environment and personnel safety.

[0003] However, existing pipeline cleaning tools suffer from drawbacks in removing hard objects from oil pipelines, including high energy consumption, limited effectiveness, inconvenient operation, and high cost. These drawbacks make it difficult to efficiently and economically solve the problem of hard object blockage in pipelines. These drawbacks are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] (1) Existing pigging tools' hooks or cleaning mechanisms are mostly designed with fixed dimensions, lacking radial adaptive adjustment capabilities. They cannot adapt to pipelines with slight diameter changes or fluctuations, nor can they meet the cleaning needs of pipelines with multiple diameter series. In actual operation, pigging tools need to be customized for different pipe diameters, resulting in high equipment replacement costs and low efficiency. Furthermore, fixed-size cleaning mechanisms are prone to problems such as loose fit and sudden changes in operating resistance at diameter changes or pipe bends, which can lead to blockage accidents and increase the risk of production shutdown.

[0005] (2) Existing pigs mostly use a single mechanical scraping or a single chemical dissolution method. When encountering special hard objects, it is difficult to achieve effective cleaning by relying solely on mechanical physical collision, i.e., the scraping ability is insufficient. Pure chemical pigs, due to the lack of reasonable mechanical design, will have the phenomenon of non-targeted solvent spraying and easy waste, which seriously increases the operating cost.

[0006] (3) The existing pipeline cleaning tools lack linkage design among their functional modules, and the solvent spray pressure cannot be maintained stably. This can easily lead to problems such as insufficient spray force and uneven softening effect. At the same time, there will be a phenomenon of asynchronous mechanical cleaning and solvent spraying actions. The scale softened by the solvent cannot be removed by mechanical force in time, causing it to re-attach to the pipe wall.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adaptive mechanochemical composite scale removal pig. Through an adaptive spring radially adjustable structure, the pig can achieve close contact with the pipe wall in variable-diameter pipelines, adapting to different pipe diameter conditions and avoiding rigid contact that could scratch the pipe wall. A scale contact pressure differential triggering mode enables on-demand solvent injection, automatically releasing customized solvent only when the hooks cannot move the scale, avoiding solvent waste. An accumulator plate and energy storage spring pressure storage structure ensure effective pressure storage and stable high-pressure solvent injection, guaranteeing directional penetration and softening of scale, solving the problem of stubborn scale that is difficult to remove.

The spring boss and the annular valve sleeve groove are integral with the cavity and circumferentially surround the cavity. The bottom connecting boss of the fixed outer ring is connected and fixed to the threaded surface VI of the top connecting boss of the pig housing through the threaded surface IV. The top anti-leakage boss is fastened into the fixed ring deep groove of the solvent storage cavity. The solvent storage cavity is connected and fixed to the threaded surface VIII of the cavity base through the threaded surface III, transmitting the hydraulic driving force brought by the push rod end.

[0011] Furthermore, the pig's outer casing includes a top connecting boss, a threaded surface VI, a hook base platform, an outer casing body, outer casing nozzles, a solvent inlet, a bottom connecting boss, a threaded surface VII, a sealing groove II, a push rod through hole I, and a rear cover connecting boss. The hook base platform is located above the outer casing body. Ten outer casing nozzles are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer casing body, with the nozzle tips facing the arc-shaped hooks. The solvent inlet is located at the bottom of the outer casing body. The push rod through hole I is located at the bottom of the outer casing body and communicates with the inner hole of the bottom connecting boss. The bottom connecting boss is connected to the threaded surface in the push rod through hole II of the rear cover via the threaded surface VII. X is connected and fixed to connect the tail components of the pig; the rear cover includes a rear cover plate, screw hole IV, rear cover body, threaded surface X, and push rod through hole II; the tail rubber includes a rear cover through hole, tail groove, and screw hole III; there are 10 screw holes IV and 10 screw holes III, which are evenly distributed circumferentially at the bottom of the rear cover plate and the tail rubber; the push rod through hole II is opened in the rear cover body and communicates with the push rod through hole I; the threaded surface X is set on the top layer of the push rod through hole II; the rear cover passes through the rear cover through hole, and the rear cover plate and the tail groove are tightly fitted together and are tightly fixed by screws in the screw holes III and screw holes IV of both.

[0012] Furthermore, the hook base ring includes a spring fixing platform and a base ring body. The spring fixing platform includes a spring slot and a hook claw hole. The hook claw rod includes a rod fixing end, a rod body, and a rod protection end. An adaptive spring is set in the spring slot. Both ends of the rod fixing end are fixed in the hook claw hole. The hook claw rod expands radially within the pipe with the hole as the axis. The adaptive spring supports the rod body and provides preload to the hook claw rod. The arc-shaped hook claw includes an arc-shaped claw tip and a claw protection end. The rod protection end is a slot with a built-in threaded pair, and the claw protection end is a boss with a built-in threaded pair. The two are connected by the threaded pair. The claw protection end can rotate to play an adjustment and protection role. The accumulator plate includes a spring top plate, a sealing base plate, a spring groove II, and a sealing groove III. The accumulator plate is set inside the solvent storage chamber. The spring groove II is set on the top of the sealing base plate, and the sealing groove III seals the outer circumference of the base plate. The outer ring surface of the sealing base plate is tightly fitted with the inner cavity surface of the solvent storage chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the cavity base includes a cavity support platform, a solvent through hole, a push rod connecting groove, a base core, and a threaded surface IX. The threaded surface IX is located above the cavity support platform, and the push rod connecting groove is located at the center of the bottom of the base core. The lower end of the solvent storage cavity is supported by the cavity support platform, and the upper end of the base push rod is embedded in the push rod connecting groove. Four solvent through holes are evenly distributed around the circumference on the base core, connecting the solvent storage cavity with the solvent in the pig shell. The base push rod passes through push rod through hole I and push rod through hole II and moves axially within the through holes to transmit hydraulic driving force. The outer side of the push rod sleeve sealing ring is tightly fitted with the inner side of the push rod through hole II to prevent the driving fluid from seeping into the push rod through hole II. The push rod sleeve sealing ring is located in the sealing groove of the push rod sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the energy storage spring is located between the spring groove I on the front cover and the spring groove II on the accumulator plate, and the energy storage spring is tightly wrapped around the spring top plate. The accumulator plate stores pressure energy in the solvent energy storage chamber through the energy storage spring, which facilitates high-pressure solvent injection. The reset spring is located between the spring groove III on the middle platform of the fixed outer ring and the spring groove IV on the spring boss of the solvent energy storage chamber. The solvent energy storage chamber can move axially and release and close the solvent port under the action of hydraulic pressure and obstacle pressure difference through spring II. The annular valve sleeve is located in the annular valve sleeve groove. The inner side of the annular valve sleeve is tightly fitted with the groove opening, and the outer side is tightly fitted with the outer shell nozzle. It moves axially with the solvent energy storage chamber, fitting and leaving the nozzle opening to realize the opening and closing of the solvent release port.

[0015] Furthermore, the sealing ring I is disposed in the sealing groove I to prevent external mixtures from penetrating into the solvent cavity and causing the solvent to become ineffective; the sealing ring II is disposed in the sealing groove III to prevent the solvent from contacting the spring I and causing corrosion; the sealing ring III is disposed in the sealing groove II to prevent the solvent in the solvent cavity from leaking out from the push rod through hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the cleaning process of the adaptive mechatronic descaling pig includes the following steps:

[0017] S1: Preparations before cleaning the pipeline, equipment assembly;

[0018] S2: Inject a customized scale-dissolving solvent into the solvent storage chamber through the solvent addition port at the bottom of the pig's outer casing until the accumulator reaches a certain pressure.

[0019] S3: Deploy the pipeline pig, using the thrust of the high-pressure fluid on one side of the pipeline to drive the pig to move along the pipeline axis;

[0020] S4: If the fluid thrust at the tail end is greater than the resistance of the hard scale, the arc-shaped hook will directly grab and clean the hard scale; when the arc-shaped hook is insufficient to clean the hard scale, the hard scale contacts and the pressure difference triggers, and the pressure difference is transmitted to the cavity base through the base push rod, which is converted into an axial thrust on the solvent storage cavity. When the thrust exceeds the preload of spring II, it pushes the solvent storage cavity to move forward along the axis of the pig.

[0021] S5: When the solvent storage chamber moves axially, the annular valve sleeve in its annular valve sleeve groove moves synchronously with the chamber, releasing the sealing state of the outer shell nozzle on the pig outer shell. The solvent pre-pressurized in the solvent storage chamber flows into the internal flow channel of the pig outer shell through the solvent through hole of the chamber base, and finally sprays onto the hard scale surface in a high-pressure mist form through the outer shell nozzle. The accumulator plate continuously applies pressure under the elastic force of spring I to ensure stable solvent injection pressure.

[0022] S6: The adaptive spring on the hook base ring provides a stable preload to the hook rod, so that the arc-shaped claw tip of the arc hook always fits tightly against the pipe wall, adapting to changes in pipe diameter. The arc-shaped claw tip accurately grabs and scrapes the softened hard scale, peeling the loose hard scale from the pipe wall.

[0023] S7: After the hard scale is peeled off from the pipe wall, the resistance of the arc-shaped hook disappears, and the spring II pushes the solvent storage chamber to reset under the action of elastic restoring force. At this time, the annular valve sleeve re-seals the outer nozzle, the solvent stops being released, and the initial cleaning operation state is restored.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0025] (1) The radially adjustable hook mechanism supported by the compression spring achieves flexible contact with the pipe wall through the preload of the compression spring. This ensures close contact with the pipe wall in pipelines with slight fluctuations in pipe diameter, while also avoiding scratches to the pipe wall caused by rigid contact. It is suitable for cleaning needs under different pipe diameter conditions.

[0026] (2) When the hook encounters an obstruction, it automatically releases chemical solvents for cleaning. The accumulator releases pre-stored solvents to dissolve stubborn obstacles in a targeted manner, greatly improving the thoroughness of descaling.

[0027] (3) The solvent flow channel adopts a pressure threshold mechanical interlock switch. When the downstream liquid pressure exceeds the spring preload, the flow channel is opened. When there is no obstruction, it remains locked to avoid solvent waste and achieve reliable control of spraying on demand. It also solves the problem of weak cleaning ability of existing pigs when encountering hard objects. It is suitable for oil and gas pipelines with frequent scaling and can greatly improve the efficiency of pigging. Attached Figure Description

Four solvent storage chambers are evenly distributed around the base core 804, connecting the solvent storage chamber 3 to the solvent in the pig housing 18; the base push rod 9 passes through the push rod through hole I 1805 and the push rod through hole II 1203, and moves axially in the through hole to transmit hydraulic driving force; the outer side of the push rod sleeve sealing ring 22 is tightly fitted with the inner side of the push rod through hole II 1204 to prevent the driving fluid from seeping into the push rod through hole II 1204; the push rod sleeve sealing ring 22 is set in the sealing groove of the push rod sleeve 21.

[0049] In this example, the energy storage spring 13 is disposed between the spring groove I 1032 on the front cover 1 and the spring groove II 1403 on the accumulator plate 14, and the energy storage spring 13 is tightly wrapped around the spring top plate 1401. The accumulator plate 14 stores pressure energy in the solvent energy storage chamber 3 through the energy storage spring 13, which facilitates high-pressure solvent injection. The reset spring 16 is disposed between the spring groove III 4031 on the middle platform 403 of the fixed outer ring 4 and the spring groove IV 30201 on the spring boss 302 of the solvent energy storage chamber 3. The solvent energy storage chamber 3 can move axially and release and close the solvent port under the action of hydraulic pressure and obstacle pressure difference through the spring II 16.

[0051] In this example, the cleaning process of the adaptive mechanochemical composite descaling pig includes the following steps:

[0052] S1: Preparations before cleaning the pipeline, equipment assembly;

[0053] S2: Inject a customized scale-dissolving solvent into the solvent storage chamber 3 through the solvent addition port 180302 at the bottom of the pig housing 18 until the accumulator plate 14 stores a certain pressure and then stops.

[0054] S3: Deploy the pipeline pig, using the thrust of the high-pressure fluid on one side of the pipeline to drive the pig to move along the pipeline axis;

[0055] S4: If the thrust of the tail fluid is greater than the resistance of the hard scale, the arc-shaped hook 10 directly grabs and cleans the hard scale; when the arc-shaped hook 10 is insufficient to clean the hard scale, the hard scale contacts and the pressure difference triggers, and the pressure difference is transmitted to the cavity base 8 through the base push rod 9, which is converted into an axial thrust on the solvent storage cavity 3. When the thrust exceeds the preload of the spring II 16, it pushes the solvent storage cavity 3 to move forward along the axis of the pig.

[0056] S5: When the solvent storage chamber 3 moves axially, the annular valve sleeve 19 in its annular valve sleeve groove 303 moves synchronously with the chamber, releasing the blocking state of the outer shell nozzle 180301 on the pig outer shell 18. The solvent with pre-stored pressure in the solvent storage chamber 3 flows into the internal flow channel of the pig outer shell 18 through the solvent through hole 802 of the chamber base 8, and finally sprays onto the hard scale surface in a high-pressure mist form through the outer shell nozzle 180301. The accumulator plate 14 continuously applies pressure under the elastic force of the spring I 13 to ensure stable solvent injection pressure.

[0057] S6: The adaptive spring 5 on the hook base ring 6 provides a stable preload to the hook rod 7, so that the arc-shaped claw tip 1001 of the arc-shaped hook 10 always fits tightly against the pipe wall, adapting to changes in pipe diameter. The arc-shaped claw tip 1001 accurately grabs and scrapes the softened hard scale, peeling the loose hard scale from the pipe wall.

[0058] S7: After the hard scale is peeled off from the pipe wall, the resistance of the arc-shaped hook 10 disappears, and the spring II 16 pushes the solvent storage chamber 3 to reset under the action of elastic restoring force. At this time, the annular valve sleeve 19 re-seals the outer shell nozzle 180301, the solvent stops being released, and the initial cleaning operation state is restored.
