Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pigging ball receiving for natural gas gathering and transportation pipelines, and specifically relates to a ball receiving device and an automatic ball receiving system applicable to natural gas gathering and transportation pipelines. Background Art

[0002] Single wells in gas production well stations and gathering and transportation pipelines of the stations are often affected by dirt and liquid accumulation, which affects the transportation efficiency, causes the transmission pressure to rise, and even leads to overpressure shutdown, affecting the normal production of gas wells. Especially in winter, as the temperature drops, the saturated water vapor in the raw gas is more likely to condense into water, reducing the pipeline transportation efficiency.

[0003] By regularly pigging the pipeline, the pressure loss of natural gas transportation can be reduced, ensuring the efficient operation of the pipeline, the full play of the gas well production capacity, and the safe operation of the entire pipe network.

[0004] The existing pigging operation mode requires operators to go to each single well station for ball receiving operations. The pigging device generally uses a pigging valve (see Figure 1 ). On-site employees listen for monitoring. After predicting that the ball is received, the inlet ball valve 1 and the outlet ball valve 3 are manually closed successively, and then the pipeline is vented. The employees open the pigging valve 2 to take out the ball. Then the pigging valve 2 and the venting are closed, and the outlet ball valve 3 and the inlet ball valve 1 are opened successively. During the above ball taking process, the pipeline needs to be vented before manually taking out the ball from the pipeline. This process is time-consuming and cumbersome, and is faced with great operation risks. Venting some natural gas will also cause environmental pollution and resource waste.

[0005] In view of this, this patent application is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0033] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present utility model.

[0036] A pig receiver device applicable to natural gas gathering pipelines, comprising a pig receiver cylinder body 4, a pig receiving pusher 6, a pig receiving channel 16, and a pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8.

[0037] The pig receiver cylinder body 4 has two open ends, and a through hole in the middle. This hole is respectively communicated with the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline located on both sides of the pig receiver cylinder body 4. Natural gas flows from the upstream pipeline to the downstream pipeline. Connecting flanges are installed at the connection points of the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline. Both ends of the pig receiver cylinder body 4 are connected to the upstream and downstream pipelines through the connecting flanges, forming a sealed natural gas flow channel.

[0038] The pig receiving pusher 6 is on the side of the pig receiver cylinder body 4, and one end of the pig receiving pusher 6 penetrates through the pig receiver cylinder body 4 and extends to the outside of the pig receiver cylinder body 4. The pig receiving channel 16 is arranged through the pig receiving pusher 6. The pig receiving channel 16 can accommodate a pigging ball 17. The pig receiving channel 16 corresponds to the position of the through hole inside the pig receiver cylinder body 4 in the initial state and the reset state, forming a communicating channel through which natural gas can pass.

[0039] The pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8 is located on the side of the pig receiver cylinder body 4 away from the pig receiving pusher 6. One end of the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8 can enter and exit the pig receiving channel 16. When the pig receiving channel 16 is pushed out of the pig receiver cylinder body 4 by the pig receiving pusher 6, the pigging ball 17 can be pushed out of the pig receiving channel 16, thus preventing the pigging ball 17 from blocking the pig receiving channel 16.

[0040] A pig receiving reciprocating drive mechanism and a pig receiving auxiliary reciprocating drive mechanism are respectively connected to the pig receiving pusher 6 and the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8, which are respectively used to push the pig receiving pusher 6 to push the pig receiving channel 16 out of the pig receiver cylinder body 4 and at the same time pull the pig receiving pusher 6 back; and to push the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8 into the pig receiving channel 16 to push out the pigging ball 17 and pull back the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, by the mutual cooperation of the pig receiving pusher 6 and the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8, when it is found that the pigging ball 17 blocks the pipeline, it is not necessary to empty the natural gas in the pipeline, nor to manually remove the pigging ball 17. It only needs to respectively start the pig receiving reciprocating drive mechanism and the pig receiving auxiliary reciprocating drive mechanism, push the pig receiving channel 16 out of the pig receiver cylinder body 4, then use the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8 to push the pigging ball 17 out of the pig receiving channel 16, and then respectively reset the pig receiving auxiliary pusher 8 and the pig receiving pusher 6 to make the pig receiving channel 16 unblocked with the upstream and downstream pipelines on both sides.

[0042] Since this utility model does not require emptying the pipeline and does not require manually removing the pigging ball 17 from the pipeline, it reduces the operation risk and also avoids the pollution of the environment by the emptied natural gas and the waste of resources. And this process saves time and effort and is simple to operate.

[0043] Furthermore, the ball receiving pusher 6 and the ball receiving auxiliary pusher 8 in this embodiment are both push rod structures and serve as push rods. And a through channel is provided in the ball receiving cylinder 4 along a direction perpendicular to its opening. The ball receiving pusher 6 passes through the through channel and is slidably engaged with the through channel. And the ball receiving channel 16 is arranged on the ball receiving pusher 6 along a direction parallel to the opening direction of the ball receiving cylinder 4. The aperture of the ball receiving channel 16 is also larger than the outer diameter of the pigging ball 17.

[0044] Due to the fact that the pigging ball 17 is pushed by the gas pressure difference up and down and will carry dirt and liquid into the ball receiving channel 16, a retaining strip 15 is provided inside the ball receiving cylinder 4 in this embodiment. The retaining strip 15 is located on one side of the ball receiving channel 16 and corresponds to the outlet position of the ball receiving channel 16. The retaining strip 15 is arranged near the downstream pipeline, and retaining teeth are provided on the retaining strip 15. In this way, the pigging ball 17 can be blocked to prevent it from moving into the downstream pipeline, and the entered dirt and liquid can continue to move downstream after passing through the retaining strip 15.

[0045] Embodiment 2:

[0046] Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the ball receiving reciprocating driving mechanism includes a driving motor 5, a planetary commutator, a lead screw 18, and a nut 19. The driving motor 5 is in transmission cooperation with the planetary commutator. The lead screw 18 is connected to the power output shaft of the planetary commutator. The nut 19 is in threaded cooperation with the outside of the lead screw 18. The end of the nut 19 is fixedly connected to the ball receiving pusher 6. When the driving motor 5 works, it drives the lead screw 18 to rotate, so that the nut 19 in threaded cooperation with it can move linearly along the outside of the lead screw 18, thereby driving the ball receiving pusher 6 to move, so that the ball receiving pusher 6 extends or contracts.

[0047] And the ball receiving auxiliary reciprocating driving mechanism includes an auxiliary motor 7, and the ball receiving auxiliary pusher 8 is connected to the power output end of the auxiliary motor 7. The auxiliary motor 7 drives the ball receiving auxiliary pusher 8 to extend or contract.

[0048] In order to facilitate the collection of the pigging ball 17, a collection box 10 is further included in this embodiment. The collection box 10 is located at the outlet of the through channel of the ball receiving cylinder 4, and the end of the ball receiving auxiliary pusher 8 penetrates into the collection box. It is used to collect the pigging ball 17.

[0049] In order to further improve the convenience of using the device, the pig receiver of this embodiment further includes an upstream pressure transmitter 11, a downstream pressure transmitter 12, a displacement sensor 13, and a controller 14. The upstream pressure transmitter 11 and the downstream pressure transmitter 12 are respectively installed on the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline, and are located on both sides of the pig receiver cylinder 4. The upstream pressure transmitter 11 and the downstream pressure transmitter 12 are both connected to the controller 14. The drive motor 5 and the auxiliary motor 7 are both connected to the controller 14. The displacement sensor 13 is installed at the outlet of the through pipeline of the collection cylinder.

[0050] Since fluids such as natural gas cannot pass through the pigging channel 16 temporarily, a certain pressure difference is formed between its upstream and downstream. The upstream pressure transmitter 11 and the downstream pressure transmitter 12 feedback the pressure signals to the controller 14. The controller 14 issues an instruction to make the drive motor 5 drive the screw to rotate, and the pigging pusher 6 moves to move the pigging channel 16 out of the pig receiver cylinder 4. When the front end of the pigging pusher 6 passes the displacement sensor 13, the displacement sensor 13 sends a signal to the controller 14. After a set time, the mouth of the pigging channel 16 is exactly opposite to the pigging auxiliary pusher 8. At this time, the controller 14 issues an instruction, and the auxiliary motor 7 starts to drive the pigging auxiliary pusher 8 to move to the right, pushing the pig 17 into the collection box 10. Then the pigging auxiliary pusher 8 retracts to the left to reset, and then the drive motor 5 drives the pigging pusher 6 to reset.

[0051] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the controller 14 with the pressure transmitter, the displacement sensor 13, and the motor, automatic pig receiving based on the pigging pressure difference induction of the natural gas gathering pipeline can be realized, and automatic pig receiving is achieved. There is no need for manual cleaning one by one. Since natural gas is a flammable and explosive medium, and some pipeline transmission pressures are high and sulfur-containing, the safety risk of manual operation is relatively large. In this embodiment, the risk of operation can be reduced through automatic induction pig receiving, and manpower is also saved, without the need for multiple people to cooperate.

[0052] Embodiment 3:

[0053] An automatic pig receiver system applicable to natural gas gathering pipelines includes the pig receiver of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, and further includes an upstream pipeline, a downstream pipeline, a bypass pipeline, and a bypass ball valve 9. The pig receiver cylinder 4 of the pig receiver is fixedly connected to both sides of the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline. The two ends of the bypass pipeline are respectively connected to the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline. The bypass ball valve 9 is installed on the bypass pipeline, and the bypass ball valve 9 is connected to the controller 14.

[0054] When the pigging ball 17 enters the pig receiving channel 16, a certain pressure difference is formed between its upstream and downstream. The upstream pressure transmitter 11 and the downstream pressure transmitter 12 feedback the pressure signals to the controller 14, and the controller 14 issues an instruction to open the bypass ball valve 9 to ensure the normal fluid transportation in the pipeline. After the pigging ball 17 is removed, the bypass ball valve 9 is closed to complete the entire pig receiving operation.

[0055] The above specific implementation manners have further elaborated on the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present utility model. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation manners of the present utility model and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
