[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil and gas gathering and transportation, in particular to a pump filling operation monitoring device for a centrifugal pump. Background Art

[0002] As the core equipment of crude oil gathering and transportation stations, centrifugal oil pumps rely on motors to drive the impeller inside the pump to rotate at high speed. The impeller then drives the fluid in the pump to generate centrifugal force. The pressure of the fluid increases after flowing through the volute inside the pump, thereby converting the mechanical energy of the motor into fluid potential energy. It is worth noting that, since the gas weight is less than the liquid weight, the impeller cannot throw out the gas during rotation, and a vacuum is formed in the center of the impeller, that is, the liquid cannot be sucked into the pump, which easily forms a vacuum phenomenon and damages the pump unit. Therefore, the centrifugal oil pump needs to be primed before starting. After searching, it is found that the typical priming operation monitoring device in the prior art is a priming operation monitoring device for a centrifugal pump with publication number CN220726609U, which belongs to the technical field of oil and gas gathering and transportation, including an exhaust pipe and a differential pressure transmitter, the exhaust pipe is connected to an inlet pipe, the differential pressure transmitter is connected to the exhaust pipe through the inlet pipe, a float is provided in the exhaust pipe, the density of the float is less than the density of crude oil, the upper end and the lower end of the exhaust pipe are both funnel-shaped, and the diameters of the upper port and the lower port of the exhaust pipe are both smaller than the diameter of the float; a first gate valve for controlling the on-off of the inlet pipe is provided on the inlet pipe, the first gate valve is located at a position where the differential pressure transmitter is far away from the exhaust pipe, and a second gate valve for controlling the on-off of the lower end of the exhaust pipe is provided at the lower end of the exhaust pipe. Its main features are accurate judgment, intuitive display and remote monitoring. It is suitable for centrifugal pump priming operations in crude oil gathering and transportation stations, and can achieve the purpose of accurate, time-saving and intuitive monitoring of pump priming operations.

[0003] In summary, the existing pump filling operation monitoring device has a single monitoring method, which is easy to cause the monitoring component to fail due to oil scale blocking the pipeline or other reasons, resulting in inaccurate monitoring results. In view of the above problems, the existing equipment needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a pump filling operation monitoring device for a centrifugal pump, comprising a delivery pipeline and an overflow alarm mechanism,

[0006] The two ends of the delivery pipeline are respectively connected to the joint and the branch pipe, and the end of the branch pipe away from the delivery pipeline is connected to the flow monitoring mechanism, and the other end of the flow monitoring mechanism is connected to the filling pump pipeline. The overflow warning mechanism is connected to the top of the filling pump pipeline through the overflow pipeline. The overflow warning mechanism includes an overflow tank, a squeeze switch and a piston head, and the piston head is arranged in the overflow tank. At the same time, the overflow tank is connected to the delivery pipeline through a recovery pipeline.

[0007] Preferably, the delivery pipeline is S-shaped, and the recessed portion of the delivery pipeline is connected to the recovery pipeline.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] In a further embodiment, the delivery pipeline 1 is S-shaped, and the recessed portion of the delivery pipeline 1 is connected to the recovery pipeline 9 .

[0026] In a further embodiment, a one-way valve 6 is installed on the filling pump pipe 5, and the one-way valve 6 is arranged on the inner side of the overflow pipe 7, and the overflow pipe 7 is inclined.

[0027] The overflow warning mechanism 8 includes an overflow tank 801 , a squeeze switch 802 and a piston head 803 , and the piston head 803 is arranged in the overflow tank 801 . Meanwhile, the overflow tank 801 is connected to the conveying pipeline 1 through the recovery pipeline 9 .

[0028] In a further embodiment, a buzzer 11 is installed on the outer wall of the overflow tank 801 , and the buzzer 11 is arranged outside the squeeze switch 802 .

[0029] In a further embodiment, the piston head 803 is slidably connected to the inside of the overflow tank 801, and the bottom of the overflow tank 801 is connected to the recovery pipe 9. At the same time, the piston head 803 is connected to a side wall of the overflow tank 801 away from the extrusion switch 802 through a reset spring. The reset spring drives the piston head 803 to reset after the oil inside the overflow tank 801 is drained. When the piston head 803 moves and resets, the oil remaining on the inner wall of the overflow tank 801 can be scraped off to avoid its long-term accumulation and affect its use.

The flow monitoring mechanism 4 will monitor its flow, and the oil discharged through the flow monitoring mechanism 4 is discharged into the centrifugal pump through the pump filling pipe 5 for pump filling operation. When the pump is saturated, the oil flows to the interior of the overflow tank 801 through the overflow pipe 7 under the action of the one-way valve 6, and pushes the piston head 803 to move. When the piston head 803 moves and contacts the squeezing switch 802, the squeezing switch 802 controls the buzzer 11 to warn, and at the same time opens the electric valve 10. The oil inside the overflow tank 801 will be discharged to the interior of the conveying pipe 1 through the recovery pipe 9 under the action of gravity, avoiding the overflow tank 801 from rupture due to excessive internal pressure, thereby improving the stability and safety of the device structure.

The flow monitoring component 402 is a device for detecting flow, which is an existing device with mature technology and rich types, and is described in detail in the encyclopedia, and its structure and monitoring principle are not described in detail here.

[0035] In a further embodiment, the bottom of the liquid inlet pipe 401 is arranged above the flow monitoring component 402 , and the flow monitoring component 402 is electrically connected to the display panel 405 , and the display panel 405 is installed on the outer wall of the detection tank 403 .

[0036] Specifically, the flow monitoring component 402 monitors the oil flowing into the detection tank 403 through the liquid inlet pipe 401 and displays the detection result on the display panel 405, and the oil entering the detection tank 403 is discharged to the priming pipe 5 through the discharge pipe 404 for subsequent priming operation.
