Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of thermal steam injection, and particularly relates to a cross-road protection device for steam injection pipelines. Background Technique

[0002] In the complex operation environment of heavy oil development by thermal recovery, as a key device connecting the steam source and the oil layer, the operation status of the steam injection pipeline is directly related to production efficiency and operation safety. These pipelines not only need to continuously and stably transport steam under extreme conditions of high temperature and high pressure, but also have to face the changeable terrain and heavy traffic load in the oil field. Especially at the intersection of internal roads in the oil field, the crossing of steam injection pipelines has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Traditionally, for steam injection pipelines that need to cross roads, oil field operators often adopt a simple burying method, that is, taking soil nearby to cover the pipeline. However, this treatment method seems inadequate when dealing with high-frequency and high-load vehicle traffic. With the continuous deepening of oil field development activities, the traffic flow is increasing day by day, and the extrusion and impact of vehicles on the pipeline are also intensifying. This not only directly leads to the deformation and damage of the outer protection cylinder of the pipeline, destroys the insulation layer of the pipeline, reduces the efficiency of steam transmission, but also exacerbates the mechanical wear of the pipeline and shortens its service life.

[0004] More seriously, the pushing of the pipeline by the wheels may also cause slight movement of the pipeline. This seemingly insignificant displacement, when accumulated over a long time, will have a serious impact on the connection stability of the overall pipe network. Each component and joint in the pipe network is prone to looseness, dislocation or even fracture under the action of repeated stress, thus triggering safety accidents such as steam leakage. Once a leakage occurs, it will not only cause energy waste and environmental pollution, but also pose a threat to the safety of surrounding facilities and personnel, bringing immeasurable losses to oil field production.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and reliable cross-road protection device to ensure the safe and stable operation of steam injection pipelines. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a cross-road protection device for steam injection pipelines, which has excellent stability and safety; can firmly fix the pipeline, can effectively absorb and disperse external impacts, and protect the integrity of the pipeline.

[0071] (2) Through the cooperation of the base and the cover plate, the pipeline is completely wrapped, accurately fixed in the protection device, and its position is kept stable to prevent it from moving or shifting.

[0072] (3) Through the design of the slope, the gravity of vehicle driving is divided to reduce the maximum stress.

[0073] (4) Through modular design, the number of cross-road protection devices (single sections) can be increased or decreased to meet the needs of different lengths of road surfaces.

[0074] (5) By placing reflective signs, vehicles passing by can be effectively reminded to pay attention to driving even at night.

[0075] (6) The connection and cooperation of the countersunk screws and the connecting pins make the disassembly of the device more convenient and fast.

[0076] (7) Durability design: The cross-road protection device for steam injection pipelines needs to be able to withstand long-term use and maintain its performance in various harsh environments.
