[0002] Oil and gas are gases that come out of oil wells along with petroleum. Their main components are methane, ethane, etc. They are used as fuel and chemical raw materials. Oil and gas are usually transported through pipelines. If cracks appear on the surface of the pipeline, oil and gas leakage will occur.
[0003] Chinese patent number CN217540414U discloses an environmental monitoring device for oil and gas pipelines, including an oil and gas pipeline, on which a first monitoring device, a second monitoring device and a third monitoring device are respectively installed. The utility model detects the oil and gas pressure value through a plurality of monitoring devices.
[0004] Existing leakage detection and positioning devices can usually only locate the leaking pipe section between two devices, but cannot locate the specific leakage position of the pipeline. After detecting the leaking pipe, the operator is required to hold the device and inspect the pipeline point by point, which is rather troublesome. For this reason, we propose a leakage detection and positioning device. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a leakage detection and positioning device, comprising an upper clamping ring 1 and an ultrasonic pipeline crack detector 4, one end of the upper clamping ring 1 is rotatably connected to a lower clamping ring 2 through a hinge, and a microcontroller 7 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the upper clamping ring 1 through screws, a detection probe 5 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the upper clamping ring 1, and the detection probe 5 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic pipeline crack detector 4, the ultrasonic pipeline crack detector 4 is electrically connected to the microcontroller 7, the upper clamping ring 1 and the lower clamping ring 2 are both provided with mounting grooves 10, and PZT sensors 11 equidistantly distributed are installed inside the mounting grooves 10 through screws, and the PZT sensors 11 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 7.
[0023] From the above description, it can be seen that the utility model has the following beneficial effects: by setting up the PZT sensor 11 and the pipeline crack detector 4, the PZT sensor 11 is used to detect whether there is a crack in the axial direction of the pipeline. After determining that there is a crack in the axial linear direction of the pipeline, the ultrasonic pipeline crack detector 4 can be used to determine the specific location of the leakage crack in the pipeline, so as to facilitate the operator to perform subsequent maintenance.
[0024] For further information, see Figure 1 , indicator lights 6 are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of one side of the upper retaining ring 1 and the lower retaining ring 2 by screws, and the position of the indicator light 6 corresponds to the position of the PZT sensor 11, the indicator light 6 is electrically connected to the microcontroller 7, the upper retaining ring 1 and the lower retaining ring 2 are provided with a protective groove 15, and the inside of the protective groove 15 is provided with a motor 16 by screws, the output end of the motor 16 is keyed to a gear 17, and the motor 16 is electrically connected to the microcontroller 7, the upper retaining ring 1 and the lower retaining ring 2 are rotatably connected to a roller 18 through a bearing, and a tooth groove 19 is provided on the side outer wall of the roller 18, and the tooth groove 19 is meshed with the gear 17.
[0025] Embodiment 2:
[0026] See also Figures 1 to 4As shown, based on the first embodiment, the utility model provides a technical solution: the inner walls of the side surfaces of the upper retaining ring 1 and the lower retaining ring 2 are provided with sliding grooves 12 which are equidistantly distributed, and the interior of the sliding groove 12 is slidably connected with a contact cap 13, and a spring 14 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the contact cap 13 by means of screws, and the spring 14 is in contact with the input end of the adjacent PZT sensor 11.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, a contact cap 13 is provided, and the contact cap 13 directly contacts the pipeline. After the device is worn out after long-term use, the contact cap 13 can be directly replaced without causing wear of the PZT sensor 11, which can effectively reduce the use and maintenance costs of the device.
[0028] For further information, see Figure 2 A clamping block 3 is integrally formed at one end of the upper clamping ring 1, and a fixing block 9 is integrally formed on one side outer wall of the clamping block 3. A fixing groove 8 is opened on one side outer wall of the lower clamping ring 2, and the fixing block 9 is clamped inside the fixing groove 8.
[0029] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, the operator first opens the upper clamp ring 1 and the lower clamp ring 2, and then clamps the two to the outside of one end of the pipe to be detected, and connects and fixes the upper clamp ring 1 and the lower clamp ring 2 through the fixing groove 8 and the fixing block 9. At this time, the contact cap 13 is in contact with the surface of the pipe. After starting the device, the operator uses a metal ball to gently tap the surface of the other end of the pipe along the circumference. At this time, multiple PZT sensors 11 will pick up a group of stress waves. The microcontroller 7 compares the stress waves of multiple PZT sensors 11. If the attenuation degree of one group is greater than the preset threshold, it means that the PZT sensor 11 is on the pipe axis. When a crack appears, the microcontroller 7 will start the indicator light 6 corresponding to the PZT sensor 11. At this time, the operator rotates the upper clamp ring 1 and the lower clamp ring 2, and the upper clamp ring 1 and the lower clamp ring 2 drive the detection probe 5 to move, so that the detection probe 5 moves to the axis of the indicator light 6. Finally, the operator starts the motor 16, and the motor 16 drives the roller 18 to move through the gear 17 and the tooth groove 19. The roller 18 drives the upper clamp ring 1, the lower clamp ring 2 and the detection probe 5 to move axially on the pipeline until the ultrasonic pipeline crack detector 4 detects the specific position of the crack through the detection probe 5. The microcontroller 7 controls the motor 16 to stop, and the corresponding position of the detection probe 5 is where the leakage crack exists.
