Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of buried pipeline protection in ground engineering, and in particular to an additional cathode protection device for an in-service gas pipeline based on data detection. Background Art

[0002] At present, the most commonly used method for judging stray current is to manually collect the cathodic protection potential of the buried pipeline at the test pile. If the pipeline potential is abnormal, it indicates that there may be stray current interference on the pipeline. The secondary high-voltage pipeline of the bypass line (Wan'an Gas Distribution Station-Zhonghe New Station) is 11.51KM long, with a specification of D159, a design pressure of 1.6MPa, and an operating pressure of 0.8MPA. The pipeline is laid in parallel with Chengdu Metro Line 1 and Line 18. The pipeline uses seamless steel pipes with a material of No. 20. Three layers of PE are used for corrosion protection. The entire line is protected by sacrificial anode protection. However, after the sacrificial anode was installed in this section of the pipeline in July 2019, the cathodic protection potential of the pipeline has never reached the minimum protection unit specified in GB / T21448-2017 [Technical Specifications for Cathodic Protection of Buried Steel Pipelines]. It was found in daily testing that the cathodic protection potential fluctuated greatly, and the fluctuation pattern was closely related to the operation and suspension of the subway, which was suspected to be interfered by dynamic stray current. To this end, currently, manual measurement of power-off potential is often used for detection. However, this method is highly dependent on synchronous switches and manual power-off measurements, and there is also a problem of large measurement requirements for daily maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an additional cathodic protection device for an in-service gas pipeline based on data detection. By means of test piles arranged at intervals beside the gas pipeline, the gas pipeline is independently monitored in sections, and anomalies in local sections of the gas pipeline can be located in time, thereby improving the accuracy of gas pipeline monitoring and reducing the need for daily maintenance measurements. In addition, the cathodic protection data acquisition and sensing system can also improve the traceability and detection efficiency of monitoring data.

[0004] In order to achieve the above technical requirements, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An additional cathodic protection device for an in-service gas pipeline based on data detection includes test piles arranged in an array at intervals beside the gas pipeline, each of which is provided with a cathodic protection data acquisition and sensing system;

[0013] A further technical solution of the cathodic protection device is that when the CPU control module detects that the AC disturbance voltage is higher than 4V, the CPU control module transmits the position information of the corresponding test pile to the system platform module, thereby improving the accuracy of gas pipeline monitoring and reducing the need for daily maintenance measurements.

[0014] A further technical solution of the cathodic protection device is that the system platform module includes a data transmission module and a cloud server. The data transmission module collects data from the CPU control module and transmits the data information to the cloud server via a wired or wireless network. The data transmission module uses specific communication technology to transmit and remotely monitor the processed data, thereby improving the traceability and detection efficiency of the monitoring data.

[0015] A further technical solution of the cathodic protection device is that a front-end processing module is further arranged between the cathodic protection data acquisition module and the CPU control module, and the front-end processing module acquires and converts the front-end data and transmits it to the CPU control module.

[0016] A further technical solution of the cathodic protection device, the cathodic protection device also includes an auxiliary acquisition module, the auxiliary acquisition module includes various sensor probes for monitoring the outside of the gas pipeline, the auxiliary acquisition module collects some pipe body parameters in addition to the conventional parameters of the cathodic protection, and assists in evaluating the operating status of the cathodic protection, mainly including ultrasonic monitoring, optical fiber temperature monitoring, optical fiber Bragg grating strain monitoring, ER corrosion monitoring and soil pH monitoring near the pipeline.

[0017] A further technical solution of the cathodic protection device is that the cathodic protection device also includes a power supply module, which is arranged on the test pile, and the power supply module provides power for the cathodic protection data acquisition and sensing system, and the power supply module supplements electricity through efficient and clean energy.

[0018] A further technical solution of the cathodic protection device is that the outer shell of the test pile is made of hot-dip galvanized steel, and the outer surface of the test pile is sprayed with long-lasting anti-corrosion paint, so that the cathodic protection data acquisition and sensing system meets the requirements of long-term outdoor work.

The front-end processing module collects and converts the data and transmits it to the CPU control module. The CPU control module is connected to the intelligent constant current instrument to adjust the potential value input by the intelligent constant current instrument to the gas pipeline. Specifically, when the potential change of the gas pipeline is greater than 0.5mV / m or the potential offset between the gas pipeline and the surrounding soil exceeds ±20mV, the CPU control module adjusts the potential value input to the gas pipeline; when the CPU control module detects that the AC disturbance voltage is higher than 4V, the CPU control module transmits the position information of the corresponding test pile to the system platform module.
