Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline leak plugging and reinforcing devices, in particular to a preventive reinforcing and leak plugging device for petroleum pipelines. Background Art

[0002] Offshore oil extraction requires the use of pipelines to transport crude oil, but during long-term use, the pipeline is subject to the risk of damage and leakage due to long-term corrosion by seawater and sea breeze. The corrosion damage of the pipeline is mainly manifested in severe rust on the surface of the sea pipe and thinning of the pipe wall. The current temporary plugging tool for sea pipes uses a multi-bolt squeeze rubber cylinder. By setting a sealing rubber cylinder on the outside of the pipeline, and then tightening the bolts with bolts, the two pipe clamps squeeze the rubber cylinder to achieve sealing and plugging. Although this can plug the pipeline, the strength of the pipeline at the damaged part is not improved, resulting in the expansion of the damaged part. At the same time, since the thickness of the pipe wall at the damaged part becomes thinner, the external squeezing will also cause the pipeline to deform, seriously affecting the service life of the pipeline.

[0003] Therefore, we need to design a preventive reinforcement and plugging device for oil pipelines to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] Such an arrangement can prevent the molten alloy solution from flowing into the preheating tube and causing the preheating tube to be blocked after cooling.

[0017] Preferably, the lifting ring is respectively installed on the upper pipe clamp and the lower pipe clamp through threads.

[0018] Such arrangement makes it easy to install and connect the lifting ring with the upper pipe clamp and the lower pipe clamp.

[0030] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0031] Example 1: Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a preventive reinforcement and plugging device for oil pipelines includes an upper pipe clamp 7 and a lower pipe clamp 6, the upper pipe clamp 7 is connected to the lower pipe clamp 6 by a fastening bolt 5, and sealing pads 9 are fitted on the inner walls of the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6, a heating chamber 2 is fixedly provided on the upper pipe clamp 7, a cover plate 1 is fitted on the heating chamber 2, a plurality of crucibles 14 are arranged in the heating chamber 2, the output end of the crucible 14 is connected to the inner side of the upper pipe clamp 7, a partition 17 is rotatably arranged in the output end of the crucible 14, the crucible 14 above the partition 17 is filled with alloy powder 8, an eddy current coil 10 is fitted on the outer side of the crucible 14, the partition 17 between two adjacent crucibles 14 is rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 16, one of the rotating shafts 16 is also fixedly sleeved with a worm gear 19, a driving motor 18 is provided on one side of the worm gear 19, a worm 20 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the driving motor 18, and the worm 20 is meshed with the worm gear 19.

[0032] Specifically, a preheating tube 15 is also provided on the crucible 14, one end of the preheating tube 15 is connected to the output end of the crucible 14, and the connection point is located below the partition 17, and the other end of the preheating tube 15 is connected to the pot body of the crucible 14, and the connection point is located above the alloy powder 8. This arrangement is used to preheat the gap between the upper tube clamp 7, the lower tube clamp 6 and the pipeline to avoid the formation of pores after the high-temperature alloy solution is filled and cooled, thereby affecting the strength of the alloy protective shell.

[0033] Specifically, the heating chamber 2 is filled with an insulating filler 13, and the insulating filler 13 and the sealing gasket 9 are both made of asbestos. The insulating filler 13 can reduce the heat diffusion when the crucible 14 is heated, avoid the heating chamber temperature being too high to scald the staff, and avoid damage to the sealing gasket 9 after the alloy solution fills the gap.

[0034] Specifically, the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6 are both fixedly provided with lifting rings 3, so that the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6 can be lifted easily.

[0035] Specifically, a hinge 4 is also provided on one side where the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6 are fitted together. There are two groups of hinges 4. A limiting block 12, a connecting block 21, and a limiting frame 11 are also provided between the two groups of hinges 4. The connecting block 21 and the limiting block 12 are respectively fixedly provided on the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6. One end of the limiting frame 11 is hinged to the connecting block 21, and the other end is engaged with the limiting block 12. Such a setting can quickly make the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6 be assembled and fixed.

[0036] Specifically, the axis of the output end of the preheating pipe 15 forms an angle a with the horizontal plane, and 0° < a < 30°. Such a setting can prevent the molten alloy solution from flowing into the preheating pipe 15 and causing the preheating pipe 15 to be blocked after cooling.

[0037] Specifically, the lifting rings 3 are respectively installed on the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6 by threads. Such a setting facilitates the installation and connection of the lifting rings 3 with the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6.

[0038] The working process of this embodiment: This device is mainly used for preventive reinforcement and leakage plugging of submarine pipelines on the sea surface. Generally, the pipelines on the seabed will be lifted by a crane on the ship to the water surface and then reinforced.

[0039] During use, first lift the upper pipe clamp 7 by a lifting device. Since the lower pipe clamp 6 and the upper pipe clamp 7 are hinged to each other by the hinge 4, the lower pipe clamp 6 will also be lifted after the upper pipe clamp 7 is lifted, and the lower pipe clamp 6 will open. Then place the upper pipe clamp 7 on the pipeline to be reinforced. Then rotate the lower pipe clamp 6 by using the hinge 4 to make the lower pipe clamp 6 fit with the upper pipe clamp 7. Then fix the upper pipe clamp 7 and the lower pipe clamp 6 together by tightening bolts 5.

[0040] Then open the cover plate 1, and then add metal powder into the crucible 14. It should be noted that the filling height of the metal powder in the crucible 14 should not exceed the connection height of the crucible 14 and the preheating pipe 15. Then cover the cover plate 1 back on the heating chamber 2. Then start the eddy current coil 10. After the eddy current coil 10 is powered on, it will heat the alloy powder 8 in the crucible 14. The alloy powder 8 melts after being heated. When the alloy powder 8 melts, start the driving motor 18. Drive the turbine to rotate through the worm 20 on the driving motor 18. After the worm gear 19 rotates, the alloy solution will flow from the output end of the crucible 14 into the gap formed by the upper pipe clamp 7, the lower pipe clamp 6 and the pipeline. After the alloy solution cools, an alloy protective shell will be recast on the outside of the pipeline, which can thicken the wall thickness of the pipeline and achieve preventive reinforcement and leakage plugging of the pipeline.

[0041] Among them, in order to avoid the appearance of pores in the alloy protective shell after casting due to the low temperature of the gap between the upper tube clamp 7 and the lower tube clamp 6 and the pipeline when the alloy solution is filled, a preheating tube 15 is also provided on the crucible 14. The high-temperature gas after the alloy powder 8 in the crucible 14 is melted is introduced into the gap between the upper tube clamp 7 and the lower tube clamp 6 and the pipeline through the preheating tube 15 for preheating, so as to reduce the appearance of pores and improve the quality and strength of the alloy protective shell.

[0042] In order to prevent the alloy solution after the alloy powder 8 is melted from flowing into the preheating tube 15 when casting the alloy protective shell, the angle a between the output end angular axis of the preheating tube 15 and the horizontal plane is between 0° and 30 degrees to avoid reverse flow and blockage of the preheating tube 15.

[0043] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
