[0002] After the rotary compensator operates for a period of time, the sealing material will wear and leakage will occur, which requires regular inspection. Usually, it is manual visual inspection. This method cannot detect leakage in time. In addition, due to the installation position of the rotary compensator, such as being installed underground or at a high altitude, it is inconvenient for visual inspection.

Detailed implementation manners

[0013] A rotary compensator with a leakage monitoring function, which comprises an outer pipe 6, an inner pipe 4, and a compression sleeve 3. The right part of the outer pipe is reduced in diameter and shrunk, and a connecting pipe 8 is hermetically welded to the shrinking part. The inner pipe is inserted into the outer pipe. A sealing packing 5 is arranged between the outer pipe and the inner pipe. The reduced-diameter wall 7 of the outer pipe is in contact with the right end face of the sealing packing. A compression sleeve flange 9 is arranged in the middle of the compression sleeve. The right end face of the compression sleeve is in contact with the sealing packing. The compression sleeve flange is connected to the outer pipe flange 10 of the outer pipe through bolts 11.

[0014] A through hole 16 is arranged on the wall of the left part of the compression sleeve. An insulating sleeve 13 is inserted into the opening of the through hole. The insulating sleeve has a flange, and the flange is connected to the outer wall of the compression sleeve. A rod body 14 made of a metallic material is inserted into the insulating sleeve. The lower part of the rod body has a threaded part 15 with a reduced diameter, and the threaded part is connected to the insulating sleeve. The top end of the rod body is flush with the inner wall of the compression sleeve. The rod body and the inner wall of the through hole form a conductivity electrode 17.

[0015] Its working principle is that the rod body and the compression sleeve form a conductivity electrode. When there is no electrolyte solution in the conductivity electrode, the conductance between them is close to 0. When there is electrolyte solution in the conductivity electrode, the conductance increases. Whether there is leakage can be judged by detecting the conductance. When the sealing performance of the rotary compensator deteriorates, the leakage path of the fluid medium is: through the contact surface between the inner pipe and the sealing packing → the inner wall of the left part of the compression sleeve → flowing out from the left end of the compression sleeve. When the leaked fluid accumulates between the conductivity electrodes, the conductance increases, and whether there is leakage can be judged by detecting the conductance.

[0016] The detection of the conductance can be carried out manually. The wire on the conductivity electrode can be led to a position accessible to the detector, so as to overcome the problem that the installation position of the rotary compensator is not conducive to manual detection, and the detection is convenient.

[0017] The detection of the conductance can be carried out automatically. The conductivity electrode 17 is connected to the input end of a conductivity measuring instrument 18, and the output end of the conductivity measuring instrument has the function of transmitting measurement data.

[0018] A ring-shaped water baffle 1 is connected to the left end of the compression sleeve. A sealing ring 2 is arranged between the inner circle of the water baffle and the inner pipe. Adopting such a structure can prevent external rainwater or sprinkling water from entering the conductivity electrode, and ensure the accuracy of leakage detection.

[0019] A drain hole 12 is arranged on the compression sleeve. The drain hole is located on the left side of the through hole. The function of the drain hole is to let the leaked fluid flow out of the compression sleeve.

[0020] In use, the extended end of the inner tube of the rotary compensator is connected to a cross-section of the pipeline, and the connecting pipe of the rotary compensator is connected to a cross-section of the pipeline. When the pipeline expands or contracts due to temperature changes, the outer tube and the inner tube of the rotary compensator rotate relative to each other to compensate for the expansion and contraction of the pipeline.
