Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of municipal pipeline inspection technology, and in particular to a precise leak detection device for municipal pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] Municipal pipelines are an important component of municipal engineering and a vital basic infrastructure for cities. Municipal pipeline projects include water supply pipelines, drainage pipelines, gas pipelines, heating pipelines, and more. Nowadays, before leaving the factory, to ensure the quality of manufactured municipal pipelines, workers typically use leak detection equipment to inspect the pipe walls for leaks. This allows for the timely detection of leaks and prevents greater economic losses during the subsequent use of the municipal pipelines.
[0003] Most existing leak detection equipment consists of ultrasonic flaw detectors. When detecting leaks in municipal pipelines, workers typically hold the probe of the ultrasonic flaw detector by hand. Since municipal pipelines are cylindrical, the probe needs to be moved in a straight line and in a circle to check for leaks. This process is cumbersome, labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Furthermore, during manual testing, it is difficult to control the movement trajectory of the probe to ensure it covers the pipeline evenly and comprehensively, which can easily lead to missed leaks. Therefore, we propose a precise leak detection device for municipal pipelines to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

The traction assembly is used to pull the cylindrical base 9 to move horizontally and linearly inside the municipal pipeline 4.
[0034] In this embodiment, the number of guide support components is set to two sets, which are respectively distributed on the left and right sides of the cylindrical base 9. The guide support components include four first electric telescopic rods 12 and four rollers 13. Four grooves 11 are formed on the outer wall of the cylindrical base 9. The four grooves 11 are distributed in a ring with equal spacing. The four first electric telescopic rods 12 are respectively fixedly installed in the corresponding grooves 11. The output shaft ends of the four first electric telescopic rods 12 extend to the outside of the corresponding grooves 11. The four rollers 13 are respectively rotatably installed on the output shaft ends of the corresponding first electric telescopic rods 12. All four rollers 13 are in rolling contact with the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4. The first electric telescopic rods 12 can be used to control the movement of the rollers 13. All 3 roll against the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4, supporting and positioning the cylindrical seat 9 inside the municipal pipeline 4, so as to maintain the smooth and linear movement of the cylindrical seat 9 within the municipal pipeline 4.

The top of the device extends to the outside of the cylindrical base 9 and is located between the two annular inflatable bladders 14. The second solenoid valve 22 is fixedly installed on the second inflation tube 21. The air pressure detector 23 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cylindrical base 9 and is located between the two annular inflatable bladders 14. After the two annular inflatable bladders 14 are inflated, they fit tightly against the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4, sealing the space enclosed by the cylindrical base 9, the two annular inflatable bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4. The air pump 15 can be used to inflate the inside of the two annular inflatable bladders 14 and to inflate the space enclosed by the cylindrical base 9, the two annular inflatable bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4. The air pressure detector 23 can be used to monitor the air pressure value of the space enclosed by the cylindrical base 9, the two annular inflatable bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4.By judging whether the air pressure value changes, it can be determined whether there is a leak in the municipal pipeline 4 between the two annular airbags 14. This allows for a preliminary screening of leak locations on the municipal pipeline 4. It should be noted that the outer surface of the annular airbag 14 is coated with a smooth, wear-resistant coating or has wear-resistant rubber adhered to it, making the annular airbag 14 wear-resistant and durable. The aforementioned leak detection component two includes an ultrasonic flaw detector 27, an annular electric guide rail 28, an electric slide 29, a second electric telescopic rod 30, a support plate 31, and a detection probe 32.

The third electric telescopic rod 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 31 and located in front of the detection probe 32. The bar stamp 34 is fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the third electric telescopic rod 33. The top surface of the bar stamp 34 is coated with ink. Using the third electric telescopic rod 33, the bar stamp 34 can be controlled to move linearly. The bar stamp 34 can then imprint the ink onto the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4, thus marking the leak location on the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4. This facilitates subsequent work by personnel to locate leaks in the municipal pipeline 4. The aforementioned traction assembly includes a winch 36 and a traction rope 37. The winch 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 and located on the left side of the municipal pipeline 4. A rope drum is fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the winch 36.

[0039] With the above structure, the municipal pipeline precise leak location and detection equipment provided by this invention can comprehensively and quickly locate and detect leaks in the municipal pipeline 4 without any missed detections. It can also mark the locations of detected leaks on the municipal pipeline 4 for subsequent repair and rework. It has the advantages of convenient operation, saving time and effort, and improving work efficiency. In specific operation, the municipal pipeline 4 is placed on the arc-shaped support plate 3. By controlling the extension of the hydraulic cylinder 7, the arc-shaped pressure plate 8 is controlled to move vertically downwards until it firmly contacts the top surface of the municipal pipeline 4. At this point, a secure and stable clamping and fixation of the municipal pipeline 4 is achieved. Then, the winch 36 is controlled to reverse and gradually release the traction rope 37, pulling the traction rope 37 away from the winch 36. When one end of the traction rope 37 passes through the municipal pipeline 4, stop the operation of the winch 36 and tie the end of the traction rope 37 away from the winch 36 to the semi-circular pull ring 10 on the left side of the cylindrical seat 9. Then, insert the cylindrical seat 9 into the municipal pipeline 4 from the right end. By controlling the extension of the eight first electric telescopic rods 12, all eight rollers 13 can be tightly pressed against the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4. At this time, the cylindrical seat 9 can be stably supported and positioned inside the municipal pipeline 4. Then, by controlling the opening of the two first solenoid valves 20 and keeping the second solenoid valve 22 and the two solenoid vent valves 26 in the closed state, the air pump 15 is controlled to run, which can inflate the two annular air bladders 14. The two annular air bladders 14 gradually expand until they are tightly fitted against the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4. When the air pump 15 is stopped, the two first solenoid valves 20 are closed, and the second solenoid valve 22 is opened. The air pump 15 is then kept running, allowing air to be inflated into the sealed space formed by the cylindrical seat 9, the two annular inflatable bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4. The air pressure is monitored by turning on the air pressure detector 23. When the sealed space has a certain air pressure, the air pump 15 is stopped, and the winch 36 is turned forward to gradually wind up the traction rope 37. The traction rope 37 then moves the cylindrical seat 9 in a straight line from right to left inside the municipal pipeline 4. During the movement, when the sealed space formed by the cylindrical seat 9, the two annular inflatable bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4 reaches a certain pressure, the air pump 15 is stopped. The winch 36 is then turned forward to gradually wind up the traction rope 37. The traction rope 37 then moves the cylindrical seat 9 in a straight line from right to left inside the municipal pipeline 4. When the air pressure in the sealed space remains constant, it indicates that there are no leaks on the pipe wall of this section of municipal pipeline 4. When the air pressure in the sealed space formed by the cylindrical seat 9, the two annular inflatable bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4 decreases, it indicates that there are leaks on the pipe wall of the municipal pipeline 4 between the two annular inflatable bladders 14. At this time, the winch 36 is stopped, and the ultrasonic flaw detector 27 is turned on. The second electric telescopic rod 30 is extended so that the detection probe 32 contacts the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4. Then, the electric slide 29 is moved on the annular electric guide rail 28, which controls the detection probe 32 to perform circular motion to accurately detect the location of leaks on the pipe wall. When a leak is detected, the third electric telescopic rod 33 is extended.The bar stamp 34 can be controlled to move and imprint ink onto the inner wall of the municipal pipeline 4 to mark the leak point. After detecting and marking the leak point between the two annular air bladders 14, the sliding of the electric slide 29 is stopped, the ultrasonic flaw detector 27 is turned off, and the second electric telescopic rod 30 and the third electric telescopic rod 33 are controlled to retract and reset. Then, the winch 36 is controlled to rotate forward and wind up the traction rope 37, pulling the cylindrical seat 9 to continue moving straight to the left inside the municipal pipeline 4. The sealed space enclosed by the cylindrical seat 9, the two annular air bladders 14, and the municipal pipeline 4 is re-inflated according to the above inflation steps until it has a certain pressure. With a set air pressure value, leak detection of municipal pipeline 4 can continue, enabling rapid and comprehensive leak location detection without any missed leaks. When the cylindrical seat 9 is about to be removed from the left end of municipal pipeline 4, the winch 36 is stopped. By controlling the retraction and reset of the eight first electric telescopic rods 12, the cylindrical seat 9 can be removed from municipal pipeline 4. Then, one end of the traction rope 37 is untied from the semi-circular pull ring 10. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 7 is reset, causing the arc-shaped pressure plate 8 to rise and release the clamping fixation on municipal pipeline 4, allowing the inspected municipal pipeline 4 to be removed.
