[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment of a natural gas pipeline geometric deformation detector, including a base 9, a third drive motor 6 is arranged on one side of the base 9, and a bidirectional screw 17 is arranged inwardly through the output end of the third drive motor 6. The bidirectional screw 17 can be rotated by starting the third drive motor 6. Two second thread blocks 18 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 17. A slot 16 is provided at the upper end of the base 9. Under the action of the threaded connection, the second thread block 18 can drive the two movable frames 4 to move relative to each other, so that the positioning member 10 can correspond to the two ends of the pipeline to achieve its rapid positioning function;

[0026] The second threaded block 18 passes through the slot 16 and is provided with a movable frame 4 upwardly. The inner side of the movable frame 4 is rotatably connected with a positioning member 10. The outer side of the positioning member 10 is fixedly connected with a first gear 3. The four lower ends of the base 9 are fixedly connected with a support frame 8. The outer side of the movable frame 4 is provided with a second drive motor 5. The output end of the second drive motor 5 passes through and is provided with a second gear 7 inwardly. The first gear 3 and the second gear 7 are meshed with each other. By starting the second drive motor 5, the second gear 7 can be rotated, and under the action of meshing, the first gear 3 and the positioning member 10 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing its rotation detection operation;

[0027] A plurality of second cylinders 20 are fixedly connected inside the positioning member 10, and an arc-shaped clamping member 19 is fixedly connected to the extended end of the second cylinder 20. The arc-shaped clamping member 19 is driven to move by starting the second cylinder 20, thereby positioning and clamping the two ends of the pipeline to ensure stability and accuracy during detection;

[0028] The upper ends of the base 9 are fixedly connected with a connecting frame 1, a fixing frame 15 is arranged inside the connecting frame 1, and a first driving motor 2 is arranged outside the fixing frame 15. A lead screw 13 is arranged inwardly through the output end of the first driving motor 2, and a first threaded block 14 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13. By starting the first driving motor 2, the internal lead screw 13 can be rotated, and under the action of the threaded connection, the first threaded block 14 can drive the detection component below to move, so that detection operations can be performed on it at different positions, thereby improving its detection effect;

[0029] The lower end of the first threaded block 14 is fixedly connected to the first cylinder 12, and the extending end of the first cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the arc plate 11. The two ends of the arc plate 11 are movably connected to the sliding rods 21. One end of the sliding rod 21 is provided with a roller 24. The sliding rod 21 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 23, and the outer side of the sliding rod 21 is provided with a spring 22. The upper two ends of the arc plate 11 are provided with distance sensors 25. If there is a depression or bulge on the side wall of the pipeline to be detected, the roller 24 will be driven to move. At this time, the distance sensor 25 detects that the distance between detections has changed. The distance sensor 25 transmits the signal to the controller, and the controller controls the alarm to sound an alarm, reminding the staff to record the deformed part.

[0030] Working principle: When the device is used, the natural gas pipeline to be tested is first placed in the middle of the two movable frames 4. Starting the third drive motor 6 can rotate the internal bidirectional screw 17. Under the action of the threaded connection, the second threaded block 18 can drive the two movable frames 4 to move relative to each other, so that the positioning member 10 can correspond to the two ends of the pipeline. Then, the second cylinder 20 is started to drive the arc clamping member 19 to move, so as to position and clamp the two ends of the pipeline to ensure its stability and accuracy during detection. Then, starting the first cylinder 12 can drive the arc plate 11 to move downward, so that the roller 24 can contact the outside of the pipeline. Then, starting the second drive motor 5 can drive the second gear 7 to rotate. Under the action of meshing, it can drive the first gear 3 and the positioning member 10 to rotate, and realize the rotation detection operation of the pipeline. If the side wall of the pipeline to be detected is concave or convex, it will drive the roller 24 to move. At this time, the distance sensor 25 detects that the distance between the detections has changed. The distance sensor 25 transmits the signal to the controller, and the controller controls the alarm to alarm, reminding the staff to record the deformation.

Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
