Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corrosion detection, in particular to a movable mounting bracket for a pipeline ultrasonic thickness gauge. Background Art

[0002] During the purification process of sour natural gas, the acidic gas, acidic water, rich amine liquid and other media in the device will corrode the equipment pipeline, resulting in corrosion problems such as wall thickness thinning, local corrosion and dew point corrosion perforation in the pipeline equipment. In order to ensure the safe operation of the device and pipeline, real-time monitoring of the corrosion of key parts is required. The existing solution is to weld screws or drill installation holes on the pipeline or equipment, and then connect the detection end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge to the object to be detected. After practice, the inventor found that this operation method has the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Welding or punching will cause irreversible damage to equipment or pipelines;

[0004] 2. The welding or punching operation is cumbersome, which prolongs the installation period of the ultrasonic thickness gauge;

[0005] 3. After the ultrasonic thickness gauge is fixed on the equipment or pipeline, it is not convenient to move and needs to be re-welded or drilled.

[0006] Therefore, a technical solution is currently needed to solve the technical problems of long installation period, damage to equipment or pipelines, cumbersome operation and inconvenient movement when installing ultrasonic thickness gauges on pipelines or equipment by welding or drilling. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the invention of the utility model is to provide a movable installation bracket for a pipeline ultrasonic thickness gauge in view of the technical problems of long installation period, damage to equipment or pipelines, cumbersome operation and inconvenient movement when installing an ultrasonic thickness gauge on a pipeline or equipment by welding or punching.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0009] A movable mounting bracket for a pipeline ultrasonic thickness gauge comprises at least one clamp unit, wherein the clamp unit comprises a first half clamp and a second half clamp, wherein the first half clamp and the second half clamp are detachably connected, and a stud is provided on a side of the first half clamp away from the second half clamp, and a locking nut is sleeved on the stud.

[0010] The utility model discloses a movable installation bracket for an ultrasonic thickness gauge for a pipeline. When in use, a second clamp is sleeved on one side of a device or a pipeline, and then the second clamp is sleeved on the other side of the device or the pipeline, then the first clamp is connected to the second clamp, and finally the ear piece at the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is sleeved on the stud of the first half clamp, and a locking nut is used to press the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge onto the first half clamp, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the ultrasonic thickness gauge and the pipeline or the equipment. The utility model realizes a detachable connection between the ultrasonic thickness gauge and the pipeline or the equipment by detachably installing a clamp unit on the pipeline or the equipment and installing the ultrasonic thickness gauge through the stud on the clamp unit, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the ultrasonic thickness gauge and the pipeline or the equipment, and the operation is simple, the installation period of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is shortened, damage to the equipment or the pipeline is avoided, and the position of the clamp unit can be adjusted according to the change of the detection point.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the clamp unit further includes a connecting bolt, first ears are respectively provided on both sides of the first half clamp, second ears are respectively provided on both sides of the second half clamp, the first ears are provided with mounting holes adapted to the connecting bolts, and the second ears are provided with connecting holes adapted to the mounting holes. When in use, the first half clamp and the second half clamp are respectively clamped on the upper and lower sides of the pipeline or equipment, and the first ear is aligned with the second ear, and the connecting bolts are sequentially passed through the mounting hole on the first ear and the connecting hole on the second ear, thereby tightening the first half clamp and the second half clamp on the pipeline or equipment.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a first stiffening rib is connected between the first ear piece and the first half hoop. When the pipeline or equipment is large, in order to facilitate installation and save materials, the first half hoop and the second half hoop we make cannot surround the equipment or pipeline in a full circle, that is, after the first half hoop and the second half hoop are installed on the pipeline or equipment, there is a certain gap between the first ear piece and the second ear piece. Under the tension of the connecting bolt, the first ear piece and the second ear piece are at risk of bending and breaking. By adding the first stiffening rib, the structural strength of the first ear piece can be improved.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a second stiffening rib is connected between the second ear piece and the second half hoop. The second stiffening rib can strengthen the structural strength of the second ear piece and improve the service life of the entire hoop unit.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the first half hoop and the second half hoop are both configured in an arc shape. The arc-shaped first half hoop and the second half hoop can match pipelines and cylindrical equipment, increase the contact surface between the clamp unit and the equipment or pipeline, and make the clamp unit more firmly installed on the equipment or pipeline.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the first half hoop and the second half hoop are both stainless steel structural parts. Stainless steel has good processing performance, light weight and corrosion resistance. The light weight can reduce the load of equipment or pipelines, and the corrosion resistance can extend the life of the hoop unit in a corrosive environment.

[0016] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a pad is connected to the top of the first half hoop, and the stud is arranged on the pad. The arc-shaped top of the first half hoop has a small contact surface with the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge, which is not conducive to the stable installation of the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the first half hoop. By arranging the pad on the first half hoop, the installation area of ​​the ultrasonic thickness gauge can be increased, making the installation of the ultrasonic thickness gauge more stable.

[0017] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the stud is arranged perpendicular to the pad, so that the ultrasonic thickness gauge and the pad fit more smoothly, and the installation stability of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is further improved.

[0018] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the number of the studs is several, and they are arranged along the side of the first half hoop away from the second half hoop. By connecting different studs with the ultrasonic thickness gauge, the installation position of the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the pipeline or equipment can be changed, so as to facilitate thickness monitoring of different areas.

[0019] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the number of the clamp units is two, and the two clamp units are used to connect the two sides of the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge. The two clamp units are respectively connected to the two sides of the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge, so that the overall force of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is balanced and the installation is more stable, the force of a single clamp unit is reduced, and the service life of the clamp unit is extended.

[0020] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] The present application realizes a detachable connection between the ultrasonic thickness gauge and the pipeline or equipment by detachably installing a clamp unit on the pipeline or equipment and installing the ultrasonic thickness gauge through the studs on the clamp unit. The operation is simple, the installation period of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is shortened, damage to the equipment or pipeline is avoided, and the position of the clamp unit can be adjusted according to changes in the detection point.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, 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 here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present embodiment is a movable mounting bracket for an ultrasonic thickness gauge for a pipeline, comprising at least one clamp unit 1, wherein the clamp unit 1 comprises a first half clamp 11 and a second half clamp 12, wherein the first half clamp 11 and the second half clamp 12 are detachably connected, a stud 111 is provided on a side of the first half clamp 11 away from the second half clamp 12, a locking nut 112 is sleeved on the stud 111, wherein the first half clamp 11 and the second half clamp 12 are both made of stainless steel structural parts, and the material model is: 316L.

[0031] When in use, the second clamp 12 is clamped on one side of the equipment or pipeline 2, and then the second clamp 12 is clamped on the other side of the equipment or pipeline 2, and then the first clamp 11 is connected to the second clamp 12, and finally the ear piece at the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge 3 is mounted on the stud 111 of the first half hoop 11, and the locking nut 112 is used to press the end 3 of the ultrasonic thickness gauge onto the first half hoop 11, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the ultrasonic thickness gauge 3 and the pipeline 2 or equipment.

[0032] Specifically, the clamp unit 1 also includes a connecting bolt 13, and first ear pieces 113 are respectively provided on both sides of the first half clamp 11, and second ear pieces 121 are respectively provided on both sides of the second half clamp 12, the first ear piece 113 is provided with a mounting hole 1131 adapted to the connecting bolt 13, and the second ear piece 121 is provided with a connecting hole 1211 adapted to the mounting hole 1131; when in use, the first half clamp 11 and the second half clamp 12 are respectively clamped on the upper and lower sides of the pipeline 2 or the equipment, and the first ear piece 113 is aligned with the second ear piece 121, and the connecting bolt 13 is sequentially passed through the mounting hole 1131 on the first ear piece 113 and the connecting hole 1211 on the second ear piece 121, thereby tightening the first half clamp 11 and the second half clamp 12 on the pipeline 2 or the equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, each first ear piece 113 is connected to the side of the first half hoop 11 with two first stiffening ribs 114, and the two first stiffening ribs 114 are arranged on both sides of the first ear piece 113 to improve the structural strength of the first ear piece 113; each second ear piece 121 is connected to the side of the second half hoop 12 with two second stiffening ribs 122, and the two second stiffening ribs 122 are arranged on both sides of the second ear piece 121 to improve the structural strength of the second ear piece 121.

[0034] Furthermore, the first half hoop 11 and the second half hoop 12 are both configured to be in an arc shape. The arc-shaped first half hoop 11 and the second half hoop 12 can match pipelines and cylindrical equipment, increase the contact area between the clamp unit 1 and the equipment or pipeline 2, and make the clamp unit 1 more securely installed on the equipment or pipeline 2. Of course, in actual use, the shapes of the object to be measured are various, and the first half hoop 11 and the second half hoop 12 can be changed accordingly according to the shape of the object to be measured. For example, if the cross-section of the object to be measured is rectangular, the first half hoop 11 and the second half hoop 12 can be configured to be a semi-rectangular frame, or they can be configured to be a plate-shaped clamp mounted on both sides of the object to be measured.

[0035] Example 2

[0037] In this embodiment, since the contact area between the top of the arc-shaped first half hoop 11 and the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is small, it is not conducive to the stable installation of the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the first half hoop 11. By arranging a pad 115 on the first half hoop 11, the installation area of ​​the ultrasonic thickness gauge can be increased, making the installation of the ultrasonic thickness gauge more stable.

[0038] Furthermore, the stud 111 is arranged perpendicular to the pad 115, so that the ultrasonic thickness gauge and the pad 115 fit more smoothly, further improving the installation stability of the ultrasonic thickness gauge.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the number of the studs 111 is several and they are evenly arranged along the outer arc surface of the first half hoop 12 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the installation position of the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the pipeline 2 or the equipment can be changed by connecting different studs 111 to the ultrasonic thickness gauge, thereby facilitating thickness monitoring of different areas.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the number of the clamp units 1 is two, and the two clamp units 1 are used to connect the two sides of the end of the ultrasonic thickness gauge 3.

[0044] In this embodiment, two clamping units 1 are respectively connected to the two sides of the end 3 of the ultrasonic thickness gauge, so that the overall force of the ultrasonic thickness gauge 3 is balanced and the installation is more stable, the force of a single clamping unit 1 is reduced, and the service life of the clamping unit 1 is extended.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
