Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline inspection, and specifically discloses a pressure pipeline inspection instrument. Background Art
[0002] In the transportation of chemical products and natural gas, pressure pipelines are used for transportation. Natural gas and chemical products are both dangerous goods, so pressure pipelines need to be inspected regularly to check whether there are corrosion or crack problems in the pressure pipelines, so as to prevent leakage and accidents caused by defects in pressure pipelines, avoid damage to life and property and pollution to the environment.
[0003] When inspecting open-air pressure pipelines, since the pressure pipelines are exposed outdoors, they are easily affected by natural factors such as wind, rain, and dust, causing impurities such as mud, dust, etc. to adhere to the outer wall of the pressure pipeline. At the same time, there may be bird droppings on the pressure pipeline. Therefore, when cleaning the pressure pipeline, it is necessary to remove the impurities on the outer wall of the pipeline before testing it to avoid the pressure pipeline inspection results being interfered by impurities. Since the pipeline is curved, it is inconvenient for the staff to clean the impurities on the pipeline, and it takes a lot of time to clean the pipeline, which increases the time for inspecting the pressure pipeline, thereby reducing the efficiency of inspecting the pressure pipeline. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a pressure pipeline inspection instrument to solve the technical problem that it is inconvenient for workers to clean impurities on the pipeline, which consumes a lot of time and reduces the efficiency of pressure pipeline inspection.

[0006] Further, the scraper mechanism includes several groups of scrapers, one end of the scraper is provided with a fixed block, the fixed block is clamped on the fixed frame, several groups of the scrapers are connected end to end, several groups of the scrapers form a hollow truncated cone, and the other end of the scraper is tightly connected to the pressure pipe; two groups of second matching blocks are fixedly connected to the fixed frame by bolts, and two groups of the second matching blocks are provided with several groups of second connecting rods and third matching blocks, the fixed block is located between the fixed frame and the second matching block, and the third matching block is in contact with one end of the scraper. The scraper mechanism scrapes off impurities on the pressure pipe through several groups of scrapers, and several groups of scrapers can form a closed shape. At the same time, one end of the scraper is arc-shaped, which can fit tightly with the outer wall of the pressure pipe, and can ensure that all impurities around the pressure pipe are scraped off. The third matching block can strengthen the strength of the scraper, so that the pressure pipe is cleaned more cleanly, and can help the staff to quickly remove impurities on the pressure pipe, thereby improving the efficiency of inspecting the pressure pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the fixing frame includes two groups of first matching blocks and several groups of first connecting rods, and the two ends of the first connecting rods are fixedly connected to the two groups of the first matching blocks respectively; the first matching block is provided with a second clamping block on one side and a second clamping slot on the other side, and the second clamping block is clamped in the second clamping slot on the adjacent first matching block, and the two groups of the first matching blocks are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0013] After completing the inspection of one section of the pressure pipeline, the staff pushes the inspection instrument, and the inspection instrument moves along the length direction of the pressure pipeline, driving the roller to roll on the outer wall of the pressure pipeline, and at the same time, one end of the scraper moves on the outer wall of the pressure pipeline to scrape off the impurities on the outer wall of the pressure pipeline. After the inspection instrument moves a certain distance, the pushing of the inspection instrument is stopped, and the ultrasonic detector is started again to inspect the pressure pipeline. This reciprocating process is repeated to inspect the entire section of the pressure pipeline. While the inspection instrument moves on the pressure pipeline, the scraper mechanism will scrape off the impurities on the pressure pipeline, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the inspection results.

[0026] Among them, ultrasonic detector is a technical means commonly used by technical personnel in the field, and its structure, connection method and use method are all technologies well known to technical personnel in the field.
[0027] When implementing
[0028] When installing the inspection instrument, first clean the pressure pipe of the installation section, then move the two sets of fixing frames 1 to both sides of the pressure pipe, and then clamp the second clamping block 14 on one set of fixing frames 1 into the second clamping groove 15 on the adjacent fixing frame 1. At this time, the pressure pipe is located in the circular frame formed by the two sets of fixing frames 1, and then fix the two sets of fixing frames 1 by bolts. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the display 21 is located above the pressure pipe, so that the staff can observe the display 21 conveniently; while installing the fixing frame 1, the roller 26 first contacts the pressure pipe, and as the fixing frame 1 moves, the position of the roller 26 remains unchanged, and the connecting shaft 24 slides on the first connecting rod 3 to compress the spring 25;
[0029] Then, by rotating the hand wheel 19, the threaded rod 18 is driven to rotate, and the threaded rod 18 is threadedly connected to the first connecting rod 3, so that the rotational motion of the threaded rod 18 can be converted into the movement of the ultrasonic sensor 16 along the length direction of the threaded rod 18 until the ultrasonic sensor 16 contacts the pressure pipe;
[0030] Then install the scraper mechanism. First, distribute several groups of scrapers 7 around the pressure pipe. The third clamping block 27 is clamped in the third clamping groove 28 of the adjacent scraper 7, so that the several groups of scrapers 7 are connected in the first position to form a truncated cone. At this time, the several groups of scrapers 7 surround the pressure pipe. Then rotate the several groups of scrapers 7 to align the several groups of fixing blocks 5 with the several groups of fixing grooves 6 respectively, clamp the fixing blocks 5 in the fixing grooves 6, and then move the two groups of second matching blocks 4 to both sides of the pressure pipe. Clamp the first clamping block 8 on one group of the second matching blocks 4 into the first clamping groove 9 on the adjacent second fixing block 5. The two groups of second matching blocks 4 form a closed ring. At this time, the pressure pipeline is located between the two groups of matching blocks. Then rotate the two groups of second matching blocks 4 to ensure that the second matching blocks 4 can be mounted on the screw 10. Move the two groups of matching blocks horizontally to allow the screw 10 to be installed on the second matching blocks 4. Then rotate the nut 11 on the screw 10. Through the cooperation of the nut 11 and the screw 10, the two groups of second matching blocks 4 are fixed to the two groups of fixed frames 1. At the same time, the second matching blocks 4 fix the fixed blocks 5 to the fixed frames 1. The two groups of third matching blocks 13 fix one end of several groups of scrapers 7. At this time, one section of several groups of scrapers 7 is close to the wall of the pressure pipeline. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the scraper mechanism is located at the front end of the inspection instrument.
[0031] When in use, the ultrasonic detector is started, and the ultrasonic sensor 16 emits ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves propagate in the pressure pipeline. When the ultrasonic waves propagate in different media, reflection, transmission, refraction and waveform conversion phenomena will occur. The ultrasonic sensor 16 receives the ultrasonic waves reflected back from the pressure pipeline and transmits them to the processor. The processor automatically calculates according to the data transmitted back by the ultrasonic sensor 16 and outputs the results to the display screen. The staff can observe the display screen to intuitively see the data of the pressure pipeline inspection, thereby judging whether the pressure pipeline is qualified. After a section of the pressure pipeline is inspected, the staff pushes the inspection instrument, and the roller 26 moves on the outer wall of the pressure pipeline, thereby driving the inspection instrument to move. At the same time, one end of the scraper 7 moves on the pressure pipeline close to the pipe wall to scrape off the impurities on the pressure pipeline to prevent the impurities on the pipeline from affecting the inspection of the pressure pipeline, thereby causing inaccurate inspection results. After the inspection instrument moves a certain distance, the staff stops pushing the inspection instrument, starts the ultrasonic detector, and inspects the pressure pipeline until the pressure pipeline is fully inspected. When the inspection instrument moves on the pipeline, the impurities on the pipeline will be removed by the scraper mechanism, and the staff does not need to manually clean the impurities, thereby saving the time of cleaning impurities and improving the efficiency of detection.
[0032] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the utility model, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the utility model.
