Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of energy dissipation and vibration reduction of petrochemical pipelines, and relates to a pipeline vibration reduction damper that dissipates energy in stages. Background Art

[0002] Reciprocating plunger pumps are critical equipment in the core petrochemical industry, and their operational stability directly impacts the efficiency and safety of the entire water injection system. However, during operation, these pumps often experience severe vibrations in the pump itself and its associated pipelines due to uneven discharge pressure, particularly in the discharge pipeline and high-pressure water distribution valve area. The vibration amplitude often exceeds the safety threshold specified in the design specifications. This vibration not only exacerbates noise pollution at the production site and poses a threat to the physical and mental health of operators, but more importantly, it can severely damage the structural integrity of the piping system over the long term, potentially causing fatigue damage to the pipeline material, cracking of the pipe rack foundation, and even failure of the entire support structure, threatening the safe and stable operation of the entire production process.

[0003] To address this issue, a vibration reduction measure using metal particles to dissipate energy and dampen vibrations is currently being implemented in oilfield pipelines. This measure can reduce pipeline vibration and reduce noise. Specifically, under high water pressure, pipeline vibration amplitude increases dramatically. While metal particles can be effective, the effect is limited, making it difficult to effectively curb the increase in amplitude. In some extreme cases, the damping structure itself can even be damaged by excessive stress, exacerbating potential damage to the piping system and supporting structures.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the vibration reduction and energy dissipation effect of pipelines under different degrees of vibration, so that the vibration reduction structure will not suffer fatigue damage under high-frequency and low-amplitude vibration, and at the same time be able to effectively dissipate energy and reduce vibration when encountering low-frequency and high-amplitude vibration and ensure the safety of the vibration reduction equipment, is a problem that the existing technology needs to solve. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pipeline vibration damper with phased energy consumption, which can meet the vibration reduction needs of pipelines under different amplitudes and frequencies, set up multiple energy consumption lines, and gradually dissipate energy and reduce vibration to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology that the pipeline amplitude is large when the pressure of the water outlet pipe is large, the noise reduction and vibration reduction effects of the vibration reduction equipment are not very significant, and when the amplitude is too large, the vibration reduction structure itself will be damaged, causing damage to structural components such as pipeline supports and pipeline foundations.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A pipeline vibration damper with staged energy consumption includes a viscous damping chamber and a metal damping chamber. The metal damping chamber is nested on the outer wall of the pipeline. Friction plate groups are arranged on both sides of the viscous damping chamber. The top of the friction plate group is connected to the friction top plate. The viscous damping chamber is connected to the top plate through a tension and compression plate passing through the friction top plate; the top plate and the metal damping chamber are fixedly connected by a connecting pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the viscous damping chamber is fixedly enclosed by viscous chamber side panels and a viscous chamber enclosure, with the top fixedly connected to the viscous chamber top plate and the bottom fixedly connected to the bottom plate. A piston plate is disposed within the viscous damping chamber, dividing the chamber into upper and lower compartments. The piston plate is movable within the viscous damping chamber, and the lower compartment is filled with viscous liquid. The piston plate is connected to the top plate via a tension and compression plate. When vibration transmitted from the pipeline is relatively low, the pipeline drives the piston plate downward through the connecting pipe and the top plate, thereby squeezing the viscous liquid. The viscous liquid flows into the upper compartment of the chamber through the piston hole. As the viscous liquid passes through the piston hole, it generates frictional damping force, dissipating energy and achieving a vibration reduction effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the friction top plate and the viscous chamber top plate are provided with holes, and the tension and pressure plate includes a first tension and pressure plate, a second tension and pressure plate and a third tension and pressure plate. One end of the first tension and pressure plate, the second tension and pressure plate and the third tension and pressure plate are connected to the piston plate and the other end is connected to the top plate through the holes of the viscous chamber top plate and the friction top plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of piston holes are provided on the piston plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the friction plate group includes an upper friction plate, with left and right friction plates disposed on its left and right sides. A left friction pad is disposed between the upper and left friction plates, and a right friction pad is disposed between the upper and right friction plates. When the vibration amplitude is large, the pipeline drives the piston plate downward through the connecting pipe and the top plate, causing the top plate to contact the friction top plate, pushing the friction top plate downward. At this time, friction is generated between the upper friction plate and the right and left friction pads, thereby dissipating energy and reducing vibration.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper friction plate, right friction plate, right friction washer, left friction plate, and left friction washer are connected by bolt fasteners, with gaps left between the bolt fasteners and the friction plates. The pressure between the friction plates can be determined by adjusting the bolt preload, thereby adjusting the friction force during friction and achieving different levels of friction energy dissipation.

[0013] Furthermore, the metal damping chamber is divided into an upper arc chamber and a lower arc chamber, both of which are filled with metal particles. When the pipeline vibrates, the metal particles collide with the inner wall of the metal damping chamber, consuming energy through collision and friction.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper arc chamber and the lower arc chamber are connected by bolts, and a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the bottom plate; the damper can be modularly prefabricated in batches in a factory and assembled and connected on site, which greatly improves the construction speed.

[0015] Furthermore, the top plate and the friction top plate are made of Q345 steel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] This utility model provides a pipeline vibration damper with phased energy dissipation, which can meet the vibration reduction requirements of pipelines under different amplitudes and frequencies. It sets multiple energy dissipation lines to gradually dissipate energy and reduce vibration. The energy dissipation path is actively adjusted according to the vibration amplitude, achieving significant energy dissipation and vibration reduction effects for different amplitudes and frequencies. When the pipeline amplitude is small, the viscous damping chamber and the metal damping chamber provide vibration reduction. When the pipeline amplitude is large, the viscous damping chamber, the metal damping chamber, and the friction plate group provide vibration reduction. This utility model adopts different vibration reduction methods for different vibration levels, so that the vibration reduction structure will not suffer fatigue damage under high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration, while effectively dissipating energy and reducing vibration when encountering low-frequency, high-amplitude vibration, ensuring the safety of the vibration reduction equipment.

[0018] Specifically, when the pipeline vibration amplitude is small, the metal particles in the metal damping chamber collide with the chamber wall, dissipating energy and reducing vibration. Furthermore, the pipeline vibration drives the connecting pipe and top plate downward, which in turn drives the piston plate downward, squeezing the viscous liquid. The viscous liquid flows through the piston hole into the upper space of the chamber. As the viscous liquid passes through the piston hole, it generates frictional damping force, thereby dissipating energy and achieving a vibration reduction effect. When the pipeline vibration amplitude is large, the pipeline, through the connecting pipe and top plate, drives the piston plate downward, causing a large displacement. At this time, the viscous damping chamber and the metal damping chamber provide vibration reduction, while the top plate contacts the friction top plate, pushing it downward. The upper friction plate generates friction with the right and left friction pads, dissipating energy and reducing vibration. The damper's vibration reduction effect can be adjusted by adjusting the metal material, particle diameter, and particle density of the metal particles in the metal damping chamber. The friction plate group is provided with bolt fasteners, and the tightening of the bolts can be adjusted to adjust the preload between the friction plates, achieving different degrees of friction energy dissipation.

[0019] Specifically, the connecting pipe fittings are made of waste pipes from oil field stations, which are reused to achieve the effect of cost saving and green environmental protection.

[0020] Specifically, the upper arc-shaped chamber and the lower arc-shaped chamber are connected by bolts, and a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the bottom plate; the damper can be prefabricated in batches in a factory and assembled on site, which greatly improves the construction speed. The pipeline is assembled with the damper, which is convenient for construction and also easy to repair quickly after damage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
