Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydraulic joint disassembly and assembly equipment, in particular to a device that can assist divers in installing and disassembling hydraulic hot-pluggable joints. Background Technique

[0002] Deep-sea pipelines are closed pipelines that continuously transport a large amount of oil (gas) on the seabed and are the main components of the offshore oil (gas) field development and production system. Currently, the number of deep-sea pipelines at home and abroad is increasing continuously. Due to reasons such as pipeline design, marine environment, and pipeline corrosion, leakage accidents of deep-sea pipelines will occur. Once the pipeline is damaged, it will cause great losses to the operation of deep-water oil and gas fields. To reduce huge economic losses such as oil and gas production suspension and marine environmental pollution, it is particularly important to repair damaged pipelines safely, quickly, and reliably.

[0003] Currently, for deep-sea pipeline emergency repair equipment (including pipe lifting frames, mechanical connectors, maintenance pipe clamps, etc.) for water depths below 500 meters, underwater robots ROVs are generally used for auxiliary installation and operation. When conducting pool experiments on the research and development of these deep-sea pipeline emergency repair equipment, due to the high rental cost of operation-class ROVs and the high space requirements for pool laboratories, in order to save test costs, divers are generally used to replace ROVs for auxiliary installation operations of the equipment, and a land-based hydraulic workstation is used to simulate the hydraulic oil source of the ROV to provide hydraulic power for the deep-sea pipeline emergency repair equipment.

[0004] There are at least the following problems in the prior art: Divers will encounter two problems when installing or disassembling the hydraulic hot-pluggable joints of the equipment. One is that the required insertion and extraction force is relatively large, sometimes reaching 800N; the other is that the joint will generate a jamming phenomenon due to thermal expansion after the equipment is supplied with oil, further resulting in the inability of divers to operate smoothly underwater.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the longitudinal adjustment device 10 includes a longitudinal slide rail 101 and a longitudinal slide block 102. There are two groups of longitudinal slide rails 101 arranged in parallel. Both ends of the longitudinal slide rail 101 are fixedly arranged on the auxiliary mounting frame 1. The longitudinal slide block 102 is slidably arranged on the longitudinal slide rail 101. There is a chute on the longitudinal slide rail 101. The longitudinal slide block 102 includes a main body and side plates. The side plates are detachably arranged on the main body by bolts.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, when installing the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13, the connector tool 5 is an installation tool with a "U"-shaped head and a screw at the tail. The diver installs the screw at the tail of the connector tool 5 on the output end of the manual telescopic device 4. Secondly, connect the two groups of first clamps 3 to one end of the interface panel 12, and then check the situation at the other end of the interface panel 12. If the other end of the interface panel 12 is a free end with an installation position, adjust the sliding mounting bracket 6, connect the second clamp 8 to the other end of the interface panel 12, and tighten the first fastening bolt 9 to fix the sliding mounting bracket 6 on the auxiliary mounting bracket 1. If there is no installation position at the other end of the interface panel 12, there is no need to install the second clamp 8. Then, adjust the longitudinal adjustment device 10 to align the connector tool 5 longitudinally with the plug socket 14, and tighten the second fastening bolt 103 to complete the fixation. Then, adjust the transverse adjustment device 11 to align the connector tool 5 transversely with the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13, and tighten the third fastening bolt 113 to complete the fixation. Finally, the diver pre-installs the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13 on the plug socket 14, and then operates the manual telescopic device 4. The output end of the manual telescopic device 4 stably pushes the handle of the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13 through the connector tool 5, so that the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13 is stably inserted into the plug socket 14. After the insertion is completed, the diver can remove the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 8.

[0032] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, when disassembling the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13, the connector tool 5 is a disassembly tool with a hook-shaped head and a screw at the tail. The diver installs the disassembly tool on the output end of the manual telescopic device 4, and then installs the first clamp 3 on one end of the interface panel 12, and installs the second clamp 8 according to the situation. Then, adjust the longitudinal adjustment device 10 and the transverse adjustment device 11 to align the disassembly tool with the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13, and adjust the head of the disassembly tool to hook the handle of the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13. Finally, the diver operates the manual telescopic device 4. The output end of the manual telescopic device 4 stably pulls out the handle of the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13 through the disassembly tool, and stably pulls out the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13 from the plug socket 14. After it is completely pulled out, the diver can remove the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 8. The utility model can be conveniently installed on or disassembled from the interface panel 12, and can stably and efficiently install or disassemble the hydraulic hot pluggable connector 13, effectively improving the working efficiency of the diver and reducing the operation difficulty of the diver.
