AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing subsea insulation pipes are used in high temperature environments, it is difficult to ensure support reliability when the wood blocks age, and the anti-slip force between the aerogel insulation layer and the inner tube is insufficient, which poses a risk of slippage of the insulation layer.

Method used

A high-temperature resistant support ring for subsea gel insulation pipe is designed, including a mirror-symmetrical support ring monomer. The support ring monomer consists of an arc-shaped insulation plate, sheath and bolt group. The outer wall of the sheath is covered with slide strips. The insulation plate and inner tube are fixedly connected through the bolt group to provide additional anti-slip force.

Benefits of technology

The support ring can withstand temperatures up to 260℃ for a long time, which increases the service temperature of the submarine insulation pipe. During the assembly and laying of the insulation pipe on the surface, it ensures a stable connection between the insulation layer and the inner pipe, and avoids the risk of slippage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of pipeline support rings, and in particular relates to a high-temperature resistant support ring for a submarine aerogel insulation pipe. Background Art

[0002] At present, submarine insulation pipes are usually steel-jacketed steel insulation pipes, and the insulation layer is usually of low strength. In order to prevent the insulation layer from being damaged by the pressure of the inner pipe, a support device needs to be installed on the inner pipe to support the inner pipe. When polyurethane foam is used as the insulation layer, the temperature of the medium transported by the insulation pipe is lower than 120°C, and wooden blocks can be tied to the inner pipe for support. With the development of deep-sea oil and gas, the oil and gas production temperature can reach 150°C or even higher. Therefore, high-temperature resistant insulation pipes with aerogel composite materials as insulation layers have emerged. Due to the increase in service temperature, the wood blocks are severely aged and it is difficult to ensure the support reliability of the entire life cycle of the sea pipe. Therefore, wooden blocks are no longer applicable as support devices. Moreover, since the aerogel composite material is formed by multiple layers of coating on the inner pipe to form an insulation layer, the anti-slip force between the insulation layer and the inner pipe is low, and it is difficult for the tied wooden blocks to provide sufficient anti-slip force. There is a risk of slippage of the insulation layer during the assembly of the insulation pipe and the offshore welding and laying. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model is proposed to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a high temperature resistant supporting ring for a submarine aerogel insulation pipe.

[0004] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0005] A high temperature resistant supporting ring for a submarine aerogel insulation pipe comprises a pair of supporting ring monomers arranged in mirror symmetry, the supporting ring monomers comprising an arcuate insulation board and an arcuate sheath arranged on the outer wall of the insulation board; a plurality of sliding strips are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the sheath along the circumference; the insulation board, the sheath and the inner pipe are fixedly connected by a bolt group; an insulation strip is arranged in the gap between the longitudinal end faces of the pair of supporting ring monomers, and the insulation strip is closely attached to the longitudinal end faces of the two supporting ring monomers.

[0006] In the above technical solution, a pair of the supporting ring monomers and the two insulation strips form a sleeve structure.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the bolt group mounting holes and the slide bar mounting holes are evenly distributed on the sleeve.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the bolt group includes a screw rod, a nut and a gasket.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the slide bar is arranged parallel to the axis of the sheath.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the slide bar and the sheath are fixedly connected by at least one flat head screw, and the flat head screw lies in the slide bar.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the length of the sliding bar is the same as the length of the sheath.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The utility model provides a high-temperature resistant supporting ring for submarine aerogel insulation pipes. Compared with the maximum service temperature of wooden blocks of traditional supporting devices of only 120°C, the supporting ring of the utility model can withstand temperatures as high as 260°C for a long time, which can increase the service temperature of submarine insulation pipes; and the supporting ring can be tightly installed on the inner pipe, which can provide additional anti-slip force for the aerogel insulation layer, ensuring that the insulation layer and the inner pipe do not displace and slip when the insulation pipe is assembled and welded and laid at sea.
