Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline leakage detection, in particular to an inflatable pipeline leakage monitoring and drainage device. Background Art
[0002] At present, pipelines are widely used in industrial equipment and facilities. In some specific environments, such as hydropower plants and water plants, pipeline flanges and pipeline leakage are often encountered. Important equipment or adjacent passages are often arranged near the fault point, and some pipelines cannot be isolated and repaired in time due to special reasons. Such defects and hidden dangers are not easy to find, and usually rely on personnel inspections to find them. As a result, such defects cannot be isolated and handled in the first place, which leads to large-scale pipeline leakage, posing certain safety risks. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an inflatable pipeline leakage monitoring and drainage device.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: an inflatable pipeline leakage monitoring and drainage device, including a leak-proof pad, an airbag, a connecting structure and a water immersion sensor; the leak-proof pad is rectangular and is used to cover the outer wall of the pipeline, and the leak-proof pad is elastic; the airbag is long and narrow, and two of the airbags are respectively arranged on the two side edges of the leak-proof pad in the length direction; the connecting structure is arranged on the two side edges in the width direction of the leak-proof pad, and the connecting structure is used to make the two side edges in the width direction of the leak-proof pad detachable and connected; the water immersion sensor is arranged on the inner side of the leak-proof pad when it covers the pipeline.
[0005] The utility model covers the leak-prone points of the pipeline with a flexible leak-proof pad, connects the ends of the leak-proof pad into a ring through a connecting structure, and arranges an air bag on the leak-proof pad to press the two ends of the leak-proof pad against the pipeline, so that the two ends of the leak-proof pad are sealed. When the leak-prone part of the pipeline leaks, water will accumulate in the space between the leak-proof pad and the pipeline. The leak-proof pad can accommodate a certain amount of water by deformation. When water is stored in the leak-proof pad, the water immersion sensor will be triggered, and the water immersion sensor will report the water leakage information, so that the staff can go to the leaking place to deal with the water leakage in time.
[0006] In some embodiments, the airbag is arranged on the outer side of the leakage-blocking pad when the leakage-blocking pad covers the pipeline. The airbag is arranged on the outer side of the leakage-blocking pad so that the airbag presses the edge of the leakage-blocking pad tightly against the pipeline, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.
[0007] In some embodiments, the connection structure includes a Velcro tape, the Velcro tape includes a first Velcro sheet and a second Velcro sheet, the first Velcro sheet and the second Velcro sheet are respectively arranged on both side edges of the leakage-blocking pad in the width direction. The Velcro tape can be reused so that the device can be reused, and it is also convenient for the staff to remove the leakage-blocking pad when they reach the leakage site.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first hook and loop fastener is arranged at the edge of the leakage-blocking pad and located on the surface of the leakage-blocking pad, and the edge of the second hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the edge of the leakage-blocking pad. The first hook and loop fastener is arranged on the leakage-blocking pad, and the second hook and loop fastener is only connected to the leakage-blocking pad at the edge, so that when the first hook and loop fastener are connected, the leakage-blocking pad itself will not overlap, and thus the airbags will not overlap, so as to avoid the airbags from overlapping and causing the airbags to tilt and form openings, thereby improving the sealing performance.
[0009] In some embodiments, a drainage structure is further included, wherein the drainage structure includes a drainage pipe, the drainage pipe is connected to the leakage-blocking pad, and the opening of the drainage pipe is located on the inner side of the leakage-blocking pad when the pipeline is covered. When the pipeline leaks a large amount, the leaked water can be discharged in a timely and controllable manner through the drainage pipe to avoid a large amount of leaked water splashing everywhere.
[0010] In some embodiments, the opening of the drainage tube is located at the center of the leak-proof pad. When the leak-proof pad is applied to a transversely arranged pipeline, when installing the device, the connection structure is located at the top of the pipeline. At this time, since the opening of the drainage tube is located at the center of the leak-proof pad, the opening of the drainage tube will naturally be located at the bottom of the pipeline. When a leak occurs, the leaked water can be discharged in time to avoid the accumulation of the leaked water.
[0011] In some embodiments, the water sensor is located next to the opening of the drainage tube. Since the opening of the drainage tube is located at the center of the leak-proof pad, after the device is installed, the water sensor is also located at the bottom of the pipe. Once water leaks from the pipe, the water will flow to the bottom of the leak-proof pad due to gravity, and the water sensor can report the water leakage in time.
[0012] In some embodiments, an air inlet pipe is provided at one end of the airbag, which is convenient for storage during the storage of the device and for installation of the device.
[0013] The utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] The utility model uses a flexible leak-proof pad to cover the leak-prone part of the pipeline, and uses a connection structure to connect the head and tail of the leak-proof pad so that the leak-proof pad is covered on the pipeline, and the air bags at both ends of the leak-proof pad are used to press the leak-proof pad against the pipeline to achieve a certain degree of sealing. A water immersion sensor is also provided on the leak-proof pad; when the pipeline leaks, the leaked water will accumulate in the space between the leak-proof pad and the pipeline, and the water immersion sensor will report the leak after sensing the water, so that the staff can handle it in time. The utility model can prevent the splashing and leakage of the pipeline from affecting the equipment around the pipeline, and the water immersion sensor can be used to timely handle the leak point by the staff.

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model, that is, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following description.
[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, an inflatable pipeline leakage monitoring and drainage device includes a leak-proof pad 1, an airbag 2, a connection structure and a water sensor 4; the leak-proof pad 1 is rectangular and used to cover the outer wall of the pipeline, and the leak-proof pad 1 is elastic; the airbag 2 is long and strip-shaped, and two airbags 2 are respectively arranged on the two side edges of the leak-proof pad 1 in the length direction; the connection structure is arranged on the two side edges of the leak-proof pad 1 in the width direction, and the connection structure is used to make the two side edges of the leak-proof pad 1 in the width direction detachable and connected; the water sensor 4 is arranged on the inner side of the leak-proof pad 1 when it covers the pipeline. Specifically, in this embodiment, the water sensor 4 sends a water signal through a cable to notify the staff. In some other embodiments, the water sensor 4 can also send a water signal through a wireless connection such as WiFi or Bluetooth; in this embodiment, the leak-proof pad 1 is made of a flexible material such as rubber and has a certain elasticity. When applying this embodiment, the two airbags 2 are respectively placed at the upstream and downstream positions of the leak-prone part of the pipeline, and the two strip-shaped airbags 2 are wrapped around the pipeline to cover the pipeline, so that the leak-proof pad 1 covers the pipeline. After the leak-proof pad 1 covers the pipeline, the connection structures at both ends connect the leak-proof pad 1 end to end. When the pipeline leaks, the water pressure causes the leak-proof pad 1 to deform and expand, so that a space for water storage is formed between the leak-proof pad 1 and the pipeline, thereby preventing splashing leakage from the pipeline and affecting the equipment around the pipeline. When the water immersion sensor 4 detects water, it sends out a water immersion signal, so that the staff can discover and deal with the leak in time. The water immersion sensor 4 is a commonly used component for technicians in this field, and its structure is not described here.
[0022] Preferably, the airbag 2 is arranged on the outer side of the leak-proof pad 1 when it covers the pipe. Specifically, in this embodiment, the length of the airbag 2 is the same as that of the leak-proof pad 1. The airbag 2 is arranged on the inner side of the leak-proof pad 1, and the leak-proof pad 1 can be pressed against the pipe by the airbag 2, so that both ends of the leak-proof pad 1 have a certain sealing property, thereby improving the leak-proof effect.
[0023] Preferably, the connection structure includes a Velcro tape, and the Velcro tape includes a first Velcro sheet 31 and a second Velcro sheet 32, and the first Velcro sheet 31 and the second Velcro sheet 32 are respectively arranged on the two side edges of the width direction of the leakage-blocking pad 1. The Velcro tape is easy to use and quick and convenient to install. In this embodiment, the length of the Velcro tape is equal to the width of the leakage-blocking pad 1. It is worth noting that the main purpose of the utility model is to prevent a large amount of water leakage from the pipeline from splashing to the surrounding equipment and technically notifying the technicians, not to make the leakage-blocking pad 1 completely sealed, so a small amount of water leakage is allowed at the Velcro tape.
[0024] Preferably, the first Velcro sheet 31 is arranged at the edge of the leakage-proof pad 1 and is located on the surface of the leakage-proof pad 1, and the edge of the second Velcro sheet 32 is fixedly connected to the edge of the leakage-proof pad 1. In this embodiment, the first Velcro sheet 31 is the fur surface of the Velcro tape, and the second Velcro sheet 32 is the hook surface of the Velcro tape. By arranging the first Velcro sheet 31 on the surface of the leakage-proof pad 1 and connecting the edge of the second Velcro sheet 32 to the edge of the leakage-proof pad 1, when the first Velcro sheet 31 is connected to the second Velcro sheet 32, the leakage-proof pad 1 itself does not overlap, and further, the airbag 2 on the leakage-proof pad 1 does not overlap, so that the leakage-proof pad 1 is completely attached to the outer wall of the pipeline, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0025] Preferably, it also includes a drainage structure, which includes a drainage pipe 5, which is connected to the leakage-blocking pad 1, and the opening of the drainage pipe 5 is located on the inner side of the pipeline when the leakage-blocking pad 1 covers the pipeline. In this embodiment, the end of the drainage pipe 5 is placed in a convenient place for drainage. When the pipeline covered by the leakage-blocking pad 1 leaks, the leaked water is drained through the drainage pipe 5, so that the leakage of the pipeline can be discharged in a controllable manner.
[0026] Preferably, the opening of the drainage tube 5 is located at the center of the leakage-blocking pad 1. Specifically, when the utility model is applied to a horizontally arranged pipeline, when the leakage-blocking pad 1 is arranged, the connection structure is arranged at the top of the pipeline, and the drainage tube 5 is located at the bottom of the pipeline. When a water leak occurs, the leaked water will flow to the bottom of the pipeline due to gravity, so the leaked water can be discharged from the leakage-blocking pad 1 in the first place.
[0027] Preferably, the water sensor 4 is located next to the opening of the drainage tube 5. When the water sensor 4 is arranged next to the opening of the drainage tube 5, since the opening of the drainage tube 5 is located at the center of the leakage-blocking pad 1, when the leakage-blocking pad 1 covers the horizontally arranged pipe, the leaked water flows into the drainage tube 5 and is discharged, which can be detected by the water sensor 4, so that the water leakage can be known to the staff in the first time.
[0028] Preferably, an air inlet pipe 21 is provided at one end of the airbag 2. The air inlet pipe 21 is provided to facilitate the inflation and deflation of the airbag 2. When the device is stored, the gas in the airbag 2 is emptied for easy storage. When the device is used, the airbag 2 is inflated to press the leak-proof pad 1.

Any technician familiar with the field can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the utility model by using the above-mentioned technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the utility model, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes. Therefore, any changes, modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technology of the utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
