Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas detection equipment, in particular to a detection and maintenance equipment for natural gas pipelines. Background Art
[0002] A natural gas pipeline refers to a pipeline that transports natural gas (including associated gas produced in oil fields) from the mining site or processing plant to the urban gas distribution center or industrial enterprise users. It is also called a gas transmission pipeline. Using a natural gas pipeline to transport natural gas is a way to transport large quantities of natural gas on land. Natural gas pipeline transportation has the advantages of low transportation cost, small footprint, fast construction, large oil and gas transportation volume, high safety performance, small transportation loss, no "three wastes" emissions, low risk of leakage, low environmental pollution, little impact from severe weather, small equipment maintenance, easy management, and easy remote centralized monitoring. Natural gas pipelines are connected by flanges, and there is a risk of leakage at the connection.
[0003] Through patent search, it was found that the publication number: CN214467926U discloses a natural gas pipeline leakage monitoring device, including a natural gas transmission pipe, the outer ring of the natural gas transmission pipe is provided with a monitoring body, the inner side of the monitoring body is provided with a body inner groove, the inner side of the body inner groove is provided with a natural gas detector, the outer ring of the monitoring body is provided with a monitoring box, and the front end of the monitoring body is provided with a connecting plate. Through the setting of the signal generator, when the natural gas detector detects a natural gas leakage, the signal generator transmits a signal to the remote monitoring equipment, and the alarm system of the remote monitoring equipment sounds, thereby improving the staff to repair its natural gas transmission pipe. Moreover, through the setting of the signal generator, it is used together with the alarm and the alarm light to realize a double alarm reminder when natural gas leaks, thereby improving the effect of using the natural gas transmission pipeline leakage monitoring device.
[0004] The existing natural gas transmission pipeline leakage monitoring equipment monitors the leakage points at the pipeline connection during use. When the leakage point size is small, the leakage of natural gas is small. The natural gas is mixed with the air in the monitoring equipment to dilute the natural gas, resulting in a lower concentration of natural gas, which will affect the monitoring sensitivity of the natural gas concentration monitor. At the same time, the detection speed is slow. In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes a detection and maintenance equipment for natural gas pipelines. Utility Model Content

[0030] It should be noted that the sealing cover 3 is covered at the connection of the natural gas transmission pipe 1, and the pressure relief valve 12 is closed. The air in the sealing cover 3 can be extracted by the vacuum pump 13 to make the sealing cover 3 in a vacuum state. The negative pressure value in the sealing cover 3 can be monitored by the negative pressure gauge 10. When a leak occurs at the connection of the natural gas transmission pipe 1, the leakage rate of the natural gas can be accelerated under the action of the negative pressure, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the natural gas pipeline. Since the sealing cover 3 is in a vacuum state and there is no air, when the natural gas pipeline connection leaks, the leaked natural gas is stored in the sealing cover 3 without the influence of air, so that the purity of the natural gas in the sealing cover 3 can be higher, and a small amount of natural gas leakage can be quickly detected by the natural gas concentration monitor 9, which not only improves the accuracy of natural gas leakage detection, but also improves the detection efficiency of natural gas leakage. After detection, the pressure relief valve 12 is opened to release the pressure of the sealing cover 3.

Since the sealing cover 3 is in a vacuum state and there is no air, when the connection of the natural gas pipeline leaks, the leaked natural gas is stored in the sealing cover 3 without the influence of air, so that the purity of the natural gas in the sealing cover 3 can be higher. A small amount of natural gas leakage can be quickly detected by the natural gas concentration monitor 9, which not only improves the accuracy of natural gas leakage detection, but also improves the detection efficiency of natural gas leakage. After detection, the pressure relief valve 12 is opened to relieve the pressure of the sealing cover 3.
