Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of boiler maintenance technology, specifically to a device and method for scanning and indicating the temperature difference of an oilfield steam injection boiler body. Background Technology

[0002] Steam injection boilers are the main equipment for heavy oil extraction in oil fields, and are mainly divided into two types: mobile steam injection boilers and stationary steam injection boilers. The boiler uses natural gas as a heat source, heating softened water in the furnace tubes to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam which is then injected into the bottom layer. The boiler body has a steel outer shell, and for safety reasons and to reduce heat loss, a 20cm thick insulation layer is installed inside the boiler shell for heat preservation.

[0003] Oilfield steam injection boilers are frequently relocated, and with increasing service life, the internal insulation layer of the furnace will show varying degrees of damage. The boiler is approximately 18 meters long, with a radiant section of over 6 meters. During boiler operation, the hot spots on the furnace surface pose a safety hazard to on-site operators, resulting in burns and scalds.

[0004] To obtain information about the location of hot spots in a boiler, the only way is to measure and record the boiler body temperature while the boiler is running using a thermal imager or a single-point temperature gun. Current temperature measurement methods are limited to measuring the boiler surface. Repairing boiler insulation mainly involves entering the furnace to repair the internal insulation. Current temperature measurement methods cannot accurately locate the hot spots inside the furnace; they can only describe a general area. Repairing this requires replacing the insulation in the entire area, which is time-consuming, cumbersome, and requires significant financial investment.

[0005] The confined space and limited ventilation inside boilers make boiler insulation maintenance a confined space operation. Furthermore, the aluminum silicate insulation material produces dust that can harm workers' respiratory systems. In summary, there is currently a lack of precise technical means to record and indicate the location or area of ​​overheated spots on the boiler surface, making it difficult to provide sufficiently accurate positioning support for boiler internal insulation maintenance.

[0006] Announcement No. CN221350288U discloses an infrared thermometer, including a cylindrical outer cover and a thermometer disposed inside the outer cover and attached to the inner wall of the outer cover. The outer cover has an opening along the axial direction, with one side opening for the thermometer probe to pass through and the other end for the control end face of the thermometer's control part to be exposed. By setting a laser aiming head on the probe, the alignment and adjustment effect is achieved through a visible light spot or optical path, thereby saving space at the tail of the entire cylindrical thermometer structure, making it easier to reduce the size, and moving the wiring head to the tail facilitates uniform isolation of the outer cover.

[0007] The existing technology can only measure in a traditional way, and can only obtain an area where there is a hot spot, which cannot accurately guide boiler maintenance and construction.

[0008] Announcement No. CN221529105U discloses an intelligent temperature control device for an electric heating control system. Under the drive of a lead screw, the positioning frame can slide left and right along the opening direction of the through hole on the surface of the limiting column, thereby driving the temperature sensor on the outside to move left and right, thereby monitoring the surface temperature of the reactor body in real time and preventing excessive internal temperature difference from causing long-term overheating operation and thus damaging the internal equipment.

[0009] This existing technology can be used for scanning boiler surface temperatures, but it cannot accurately indicate the location of hot spots inside the boiler.

[0010] Publication No. CN118391662A discloses a device for establishing a boiler wall-mounted atmosphere temperature field through wall temperature measurement. The device includes a boiler base and a boiler wall temperature monitoring mechanism. A first-pass flue and a second-pass flue are installed inside the boiler body. A high-level water-cooled wall tube and a low-level water-cooled wall tube are installed on the top of the header. One end of the infrared imaging monitoring port is connected to an infrared imager. Multi-point temperature monitoring of the boiler body, high-level water-cooled wall tubes, and low-level water-cooled wall tubes allows for timely adjustment of the combustion position temperature based on statistical data. This ensures uniform flame distribution within the furnace, uniform heat load on each heating surface pipe, and safe and stable unit operation.

[0011] The existing technology can be used to measure the surface temperature of boilers, but setting up a large number of fixed detection points is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are gaps between the points, making it impossible to accurately indicate the location of overheating points.

[0012] In summary, the technical solutions, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the above-disclosed technologies are all different from those of the present invention. Regarding the more technical features, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the present invention, the above-disclosed technical documents do not provide any technical inspiration.

The upper grooved wheel is hooked onto the upper end face of the secondary rail, and the lower end of the secondary rail extends into the lower grooved wheel. Both the upper and lower grooved wheels are rotatably connected to the movable box.

[0024] The movable box is equipped with a movable motor, the output shaft of which extends out of the movable box and is connected to a drive wheel. The drive wheel is in contact with the lower end face of the secondary rail.

[0025] A quick-release fastening bracket is fixedly installed on the end face of the movable box away from the secondary rail, and the quick-release fastening bracket is connected to the scanning module.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper and lower grooved wheels are I-shaped grooved wheels;

[0027] A wheel space is provided between the primary rail and the secondary rail.

[0033] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for using a temperature difference scanning and coordinate indication device for an oilfield steam injection boiler, comprising the following steps:

[0034] S1. Scanning: Mark both sides of the boiler's radiant section. First, stop the wheeled base at the marked position on one side of the radiant section; the reciprocating scanning bracket drives the scanning module to perform reciprocating scanning; after completing the scan, scan the other side of the radiant section.

[0035] S2. After the data scanning is completed, the scanning module performs noise reduction and merging based on the cloud point data coordinates and thermal imaging to achieve three-dimensional mapping.

[0036] S3. Download the 3D thermal imaging map generated by the scanning module to the projection module, install the projection module inside the boiler radiant section at the position corresponding to the mark, and project the 3D image of the boiler's external temperature difference and overheating; the construction personnel formulate a construction plan based on the projection to accurately locate the hot spots and the distribution of overheating areas.

[0037] Further, step S1 includes:

[0038] S101. Scanning preparation: The moving mechanism and secondary rail are moved to the extreme position on one side as the initial scanning position. The vertical telescopic bracket does not move, the stepper motor moves, driving the primary slider and secondary rail to move quickly. At the same time, the drive wheel on the moving mechanism moves quickly, driving the moving mechanism to continue moving until it reaches the extreme position, and each module stops moving.

[0039] S102. Start scanning. The device moves slowly in the opposite direction, following the sequence of first moving mechanism and then stepper motor, driving the scanning module to the limit position on the other side. The scanning module continues to run during the movement.

[0042] Further, step S3 includes:

[0043] S301. Download the 3D thermal imaging model generated by the scanning module to the projection module. The projection module scales down the model proportionally to make it suitable for projection inside the furnace.

[0044] S302. When the boiler equipment is shut down, after the internal temperature of the furnace drops to a working temperature, the projection module is installed in the center of the boiler's radiant section. The projection module will project 3D images of the boiler's external temperature difference and overheating at a fixed time frequency. Construction personnel can formulate a construction plan based on the projection and accurately locate the hot spots and the distribution of overheating areas.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0046] 1. This invention is applicable to the establishment of surface temperature records for oilfield steam injection boilers and the construction of internal insulation maintenance, and has advantages such as accurate positioning, convenient use, and reduced labor intensity.

This data can serve as first-hand information for evaluating boiler insulation, helping users to understand changes in boiler insulation. It can also accurately project hot spot information inside the furnace to guide workers in construction, thus solving the problem of inaccurate overall evaluation of boiler insulation and the inability to effectively and continuously track it.

[0048] 3. Under the projection guidance of the projection device, the present invention can detect the initial and small-area overheating points inside the furnace body, thereby formulating targeted small-area maintenance measures to prevent further damage and deterioration of the insulation in the overheated areas. This achieves "preventive" repair of boiler insulation, effectively extends the service life of the boiler insulation, and reduces the safety risk of workers being scalded or burned.
