[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a natural gas pipeline detection device, including a support frame 1, an operating platform 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 1, a display controller 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame 1, a pressurizing mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the support frame 1, a natural gas pipe body 6 is slidably connected inside the pressurizing mechanism 4, and a fixing mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the operating platform 2.

[0030] In this solution, the support frame 1 is used to fix the display controller 3, the operating platform 2 and the pressurizing mechanism 4. The fixing mechanism 5 is installed on the upper end of the operating platform 2, and the natural gas pipe body 6 is fixed through the action of the fixing mechanism 5, which is convenient for using the pressurizing mechanism 4 to pressurize the inside of the natural gas pipe body 6. After pressurization, the fixing mechanism 5 is used to detect the natural gas pipe body 6 to distinguish the quality of the natural gas pipe body 6.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pressurizing mechanism 4 includes a double-port air pump 41, the lower end of the double-port air pump 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the support frame 1, two output ends of the double-port air pump 41 are jointly fixedly connected with a communicating pipe 42, two output ends of the double-port air pump 41 are both fixedly connected with an air outlet pipe 43, and rubber plug heads 44 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two air outlet pipes 43, and the outer surfaces of the two rubber plug heads 44 are movably connected with the inner surface of the natural gas pipe body 6.

[0032] In this solution, the rubber plug heads 44 are respectively inserted into both ends of the natural gas pipe body 6, and then the display controller 3 is used to control the double-port air pump 41 to start, so that the double-port air pump 41 allows the gas to enter the inside of the natural gas pipe body 6 through the two air outlet pipes 43, making the pressure inside the natural gas pipe body 6 greater than the outside, and realizing the pressurization process.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 3-5, the fixing mechanism 5 includes two positioning plates 51. The lower ends of the two positioning plates 51 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the operating table 2. The left end of the positioning plate 51 on the left is fixedly connected with a motor 52. The output end of the motor 52 is fixedly connected with a bevel gear set 53 through a coupling. The inner surface of the bevel gear set 53 is fixedly connected with a lead screw 54. The outer surface of the lead screw 54 is rotatably connected to the inner surfaces of the two positioning plates 51. The outer surface of the lead screw 54 is threadedly connected with a detection component 55. A guide rod 56 is slidably connected inside the detection component 55. The upper ends of the two positioning plates 51 are both fixedly connected with a fixing component 57.

[0034] The fixing component 57 includes a bracket 571. The lower ends of the two brackets 571 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two positioning plates 51. The inner surface of the bracket 571 is fixedly connected with an internally threaded block 572. The inner surface of the internally threaded block 572 is threadedly connected with a screw rod 573. The upper end of the screw rod 573 is fixedly connected with a turning handle 574. The lower end of the screw rod 573 is rotatably connected with a clamping plate 575.

[0035] The detection component 55 includes a housing 551. The inner surface of the housing 551 is fixedly connected with a pressure sensor 552. The outer surface of the housing 551 is fixedly connected with a moving block 553. The inner surface of the moving block 553 is threadedly connected with the outer surface of the lead screw 54. The outer surface of the housing 551 is fixedly connected with a sliding block 554. The inner surface of the sliding block 554 is slidably connected with the outer surface of the guide rod 56.

[0036] In this solution, by sequentially turning the two turning handles 574 clockwise, the two screw rods 573 are rotated clockwise under the action of the two turning handles 574. Since the inner surface of the internally threaded block 572 is threadedly connected with the screw rod 573 and the position of the internally threaded block 572 is fixed, when the screw rod 573 rotates clockwise, it will move upward on the inner surface of the internally threaded block 572. At this time, place the natural gas pipe body 6 on the two positioning plates 51 and make it pass through the inside of the detection component 55. Then, sequentially turn the two turning handles 574 counterclockwise, and use the combined action of the two clamping plates 575 and the two positioning plates 51 to fix the natural gas pipe body 6. Then, use the display controller 3 to control the motor 52 to start, so that the bevel gear set 53 transmits the force of the motor 52 to the lead screw 54, enabling the lead screw 54 to rotate on the inner surfaces of the two positioning plates 51. Because the inner surface of the moving block 553 is threadedly connected with the outer surface of the lead screw 54, when the lead screw 54 rotates, it will drive the moving block 553 to move, so that the pressure sensor 552 located inside the housing 551 can move on the outer surface of the natural gas pipe body 6. And under the combined action of the sliding block 554 and the guide rod 56, the pressure sensor 552 is more stable when moving. When the pressure sensor 552 senses that the pressure of a certain section of the natural gas pipe body 6 is too high, it means that there is a leakage phenomenon in this section. At this time, the pressure sensor 552 transmits a signal to the display controller 3, and the display controller 3 controls the motor 52 to stop running. The position covered by the housing 551 is the leakage position.

[0037] It should be noted that the specific installation methods, circuit connection methods, and control methods of the display controller 3, double-air pump 41, motor 52, and pressure sensor 552 in the present utility model are all conventional designs, and the present utility model will not elaborate in detail.

[0038] Working principle: When it is necessary to conduct quality inspection on the natural gas pipeline before leaving the factory, first turn the two turning handles 574 clockwise. Under the action of the two turning handles 574, the two screw rods 573 rotate clockwise. When the screw rods 573 rotate clockwise, they will move upward on the inner surface of the internal thread block 572. At this time, place the natural gas pipe body 6 on the two positioning plates 51 and make it pass through the inside of the detection assembly 55. Then turn the two turning handles 574 counterclockwise, and use the combined action of the two clamping plates 575 and the two positioning plates 51 to fix the natural gas pipe body 6. Then, respectively insert the rubber stoppers 44 into both ends of the natural gas pipe body 6. Then, use the display controller 3 to control the start of the double-air pump 41, so that the double-air pump 41 injects gas into the inside of the natural gas pipe body 6 through the two air outlet pipes 43, making the pressure inside the natural gas pipe body 6 greater than the outside. At this time, use the display controller 3 to control the start of the motor 52, so that the bevel gear set 53 transmits the force of the motor 52 to the lead screw 54, enabling the lead screw 54 to rotate on the inner surface of the two positioning plates 51. When the lead screw 54 rotates, it will drive the moving block 553 to move, so that the pressure sensor 552 located inside the housing 551 moves on the outer surface of the natural gas pipe body 6. When the pressure sensor 552 senses that the pressure of a certain section of the natural gas pipe body 6 is too high, it means that there is a leakage phenomenon in this section. At this time, the pressure sensor 552 transmits a signal to the display controller 3, and the display controller 3 controls the motor 52 to stop running. The position covered by the housing 551 is the leakage position.

[0039] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present utility model; however, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its improved concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
