Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pipeline valve maintenance devices, in particular to a grease injection maintenance device for natural gas long-distance pipeline valves. Background Art

[0002] The laying of natural gas long-distance pipelines is inseparable from the installation of valves. Through valves, the transportation of natural gas can be better managed. Valves require maintenance in daily use, and regular greasing is one of the maintenance items of natural gas long-distance pipelines. Usually, staff need to grease the valves through greasing devices.

[0003] Chinese patent number CN202222008346.9 discloses a natural gas long-distance pipeline valve grease injection maintenance device, comprising: a grease storage cylinder, the top of the above-mentioned grease storage cylinder is connected to a drive shell, the above-mentioned drive shell and the grease storage cylinder are connected, one side of the above-mentioned drive shell is connected to a handle, a drive mechanism is arranged between the above-mentioned drive shell and the inside of the grease storage cylinder, the other side of the above-mentioned drive shell is connected to a linkage mechanism, the above-mentioned linkage mechanism is connected to the driving mechanism, the above-mentioned linkage mechanism is connected to a cleaning cylinder, the above-mentioned cleaning cylinder is provided with two wiping mechanisms, the bottom of the above-mentioned grease storage cylinder is threadedly connected to a connecting block, the bottom of the above-mentioned connecting block is connected to a grease injection tube, one end of the above-mentioned grease injection tube is connected to a grease injection port connector, and the above-mentioned grease injection port connector is provided with a pressure gauge.

[0004] From the above, it can be seen that by opening the forward and reverse motors in the forward direction, the sleeve will rise on the outer surface of the screw rod when the screw rod rotates, so that the piston block slides upward inside the fat storage cylinder to draw the fat into the fat storage cylinder. The forward and reverse motors can be opened in the reverse direction to allow the fat inside the fat storage cylinder to be injected into the valve through the grease injection tube and the grease injection port connector. However, this case also has the following shortcomings: the prior art usually uses an air compressor with the help of the air tank pressure of the air respirator to achieve the output of grease injection, but this pressure consumption is too fast, and an air tank cannot fill many valves. The air pressure inside the air tank often needs to be supplemented, which lacks a certain efficiency during use and increases the operating coefficient of personnel.

[0027] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] Example: Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the natural gas long-distance pipeline valve grease injection maintenance device of this embodiment includes a mobile carrier 1, a mounting frame 2, an energy accumulator 3, a grease storage bin 4 and a compression energy storage system. The mounting frame 2 is mounted on the mobile carrier 1, and the energy accumulator 3, the grease storage bin 4 and the compression energy storage system are respectively mounted on the mounting frame 2. The energy accumulator 3 is connected to the top of the grease storage bin 4 through a pipeline, and the grease storage bin 4 is connected to the valve grease injection nozzle hanging ring 5 through a pipeline. The compression energy storage system is connected to the energy accumulator 3 for storing high-pressure gas in the energy accumulator 3.

[0029] The usage process is as follows:

[0030] The compressed energy storage system compresses air (its main function is to compress and cool the air) to a certain pressure and temperature, and then transports the compressed air into the energy accumulator 3 for storage, and then during the grease injection process, the energy accumulator 3 is connected with the grease storage bin 4 to generate pressure (positive pressure) inside the grease storage bin 4, and the grease inside the grease storage bin 4 is transported by pressure to make it reach the valve grease injection nozzle hanging ring 5 through the output pipeline, and then the valve connected with the valve grease injection nozzle hanging ring 5 is used for grease injection maintenance (or other external grease injection business). The structural design of the entire device is simple and reasonable, and air is input into the energy accumulator for storage through the compressed energy storage system, and the energy accumulator is connected with the grease storage bin to generate pressure inside the grease storage bin, and the grease is output under the influence of the internal positive pressure, thereby realizing the function of charging output, solving the problem of needing to supplement the air pressure inside the energy accumulator, and improving the efficiency of grease injection.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting frame 2 is a hollow frame.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the mounting frame 2 adopts a hollow frame, which can reduce consumables, reduce weight, and facilitate transportation. At the same time, the mounting frame 2 adopts a three-dimensional hollow frame, and the energy storage device 3, the fat storage bin 4, and the compressed energy storage system are all installed in the mounting frame 2, which plays a certain protective role for the above components. The overall structural design is simple, which is conducive to the stable installation and use of the energy storage device 3, the fat storage bin 4, and the compressed energy storage system.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the mobile carrier 1 includes a base 11 , a handrail guardrail 12 arranged on one side of the upper end of the base 11 , and a walking mechanism 13 installed on the lower end of the base 11 .

[0034] In the above-mentioned implementation scheme, the base 11 can also serve as the bearing unit of the entire device, and a relatively strong frame structure can be adopted. A mounting table can be set at the upper end of the frame structure. A handrail guardrail 12 is installed on one side of the upper end of the base 11, which can not only assist the operators to stand and climb, but also the operators can push the entire device to walk along the ground through the walking mechanism 13 at the bottom of the base 11 by holding the upper part of the handrail guardrail 12. The design is simple and easy to use.

[0035] In this embodiment, the handrail guardrail 12 adopts a door-shaped structure and is vertically installed on one side of the upper end of the base 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, the walking mechanism 13 includes a plurality of walking wheels installed at intervals at the lower end of the base 11 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the energy storage device 3 is a conventional high-pressure energy storage tank, which is provided with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is connected to the compressed energy storage system through a pipeline, and the outlet is connected to the fat storage tank 4 through a pipeline. Compressed air enters the energy storage device 3 to achieve normal pressurized storage.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, a control valve is provided at the outlet of the energy storage tank, and the control valve may be an existing control valve with a pressure reducing function (such as a precision pressure reducing control valve).

[0039] In the above implementation scheme, the design of the control valve at the outlet can be flexibly opened and closed according to usage requirements, thereby achieving pressure release or output.

[0040] In this embodiment, a pressure gauge is provided on the top of the energy storage tank. The pressure gauge can provide real-time feedback of the pressure value inside the energy storage device 3, and the operator can judge or adjust the subsequent use (such as continued use or the need for stamping) according to the pressure value. At the same time, the pressure value can also be used as a monitoring of the safety pressure inside the energy storage device 3 to ensure safe stamping.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the above-mentioned fat storage bin 4 is provided with a grease injection port with a valve (denoted by A in the figure) and a punching port, and the bottom of the above-mentioned fat storage bin 4 is provided with a grease outlet, the above-mentioned punching port is connected to the above-mentioned energy storage device 3 through a pipeline, and the above-mentioned grease outlet is connected to the above-mentioned valve grease injection nozzle hanging ring 5 through a pipeline (denoted by B in the figure), and the above-mentioned grease outlet is provided with a precision pressure reducing valve 41.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the grease injection port is opened to facilitate the replenishment of lubricating grease, and closed to store grease normally. The precision pressure reducing valve 41 adjusts the flow of the medium by controlling the opening of the opening and closing parts in the valve body to reduce the pressure of the medium. At the same time, the opening of the opening and closing parts is adjusted by the effect of the pressure after the valve, so that the pressure after the valve is kept within a certain range. When the inlet pressure is constantly changing, the outlet pressure is kept within the set range to prevent the grease output from the valve grease injection nozzle hanging ring 5 from being more or less uneven.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned compressed energy storage system includes a diesel tank 61, a diesel engine 62 and an air compressor 63, the output shaft of the above-mentioned diesel engine 62 is drivingly connected to the input shaft of the above-mentioned air compressor 63, the compressed gas outlet of the above-mentioned air compressor 63 is connected to the above-mentioned energy storage device 3 through a pipeline, and the above-mentioned diesel tank 61 is connected to the oil inlet of the above-mentioned diesel engine 62 through a pipeline.

[0044] In the above embodiment, when in use, the diesel tank 61 delivers diesel to the diesel engine 62 (a conventional small diesel engine on the market is used) through an oil pipeline. The diesel engine 62 generates energy by burning diesel, and then transmits the generated mechanical energy to the air compressor 63. The air compressor 63 compresses the air to a higher pressure and compresses it. Its main function is to compress and cool the air to a certain pressure and temperature. When the diesel engine 62 is working, the air compressor 63 starts to rotate, and sucks air into the machine while rotating. After continuous compression, the air is forced to be discharged outward. At this time, the air has been compressed and cooled, so that the air compressor 63 inputs the compressed air into the energy storage device 3 for storage. Its structural design is reasonable, and the diesel engine 62 drives the air compressor 63 to run to realize the output of compressed gas. It runs smoothly and has strong endurance, and is suitable for use in various environments.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, a mounting plate 21 is provided on an upper portion of one side of the mounting frame 2 , and the diesel tank 61 is mounted on the mounting plate 21 , and its height is higher than the oil inlet of the diesel engine 62 .

[0046] In the above implementation scheme, the position design of the mounting plate 21 makes the diesel tank 61 at a high position, which is conducive to the transportation of diesel to the interior of the diesel engine 62. At the same time, this layout can reduce the horizontal footprint of the entire device, and the structural design is more compact.
