[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of valve opening tools, in particular to a ground well valve opening tool with the function of detecting flammable and toxic gases. Background Art

[0002] Liquid chemical terminal storage facilities are equipped with firefighting manhole valves. Due to their geographical location and environmental influences, these manhole valves are prone to failure. Repairing or replacing damaged valves requires disconnecting the manhole valves upstream and downstream. According to GB30871, entering a manhole to open or close valves constitutes entering a confined space and requires a confined space work permit. Special work procedures must be followed, strictly adhering to the replacement and inspection procedures before proceeding. Furthermore, the manholes are confined, making valve opening and closing difficult. Furthermore, the terminal storage area stores hazardous chemicals, most of which have a vapor density greater than air. Leaks can easily accumulate in low-lying areas such as storm drains and manholes, posing a high operational risk. In the event of a valve leak at night, obtaining a work permit is challenging, hindering on-site response efficiency. A commonly used approach involves obtaining a confined space work permit and then manually closing the valve. This approach presents challenges such as lengthy work permit issuance, requiring multiple permits, requiring significant personnel and resources, and increasing operational risk.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a well valve opening tool with combustible and toxic gas detection includes a sleeve 3 and a lifting rod 10. The sleeve 3 has a square sleeve structure, that is, the inner hole of the sleeve 3 is a square hole, and the sleeve 3 is preferably square in shape. The lifting rod 10 is a square rod that adapts to the inner hole of the sleeve 3. The lifting rod 10 slides vertically through the square hole and adapts to the inner hole to form a limit structure, so that the lifting rod 10 can only move up and down axially relative to the sleeve 3, but cannot rotate relative to the circumference. In other words, the lifting rod 10 and the sleeve 3 can rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction, but cannot rotate relative to each other. A rotating rod 7 is radially provided on the upper portion of the sleeve 3. The rotating rod 7 is manually driven to rotate the sleeve 3, which drives the lifting rod 10 to rotate. Several levers 5 are set at the bottom end of the lifting rod 10 through the ratchet structure 9. The levers 5 are an odd number, such as 3 or 5. The specific number is determined according to the handwheel model of the ground well valve. The lever 5 is inserted into the handwheel of the ground well valve. The lifting rod 10 rotates, driving the lever 5 to rotate, and then driving the handwheel of the ground well valve to rotate, opening or closing the ground well valve.

[0031] The outer side of the sleeve 3 is rotated to set the rotating shaft 13 through the base 16, and the rotating shaft 13 is axially arranged with a gear 6 and a winding wheel 1 in sequence, wherein the gear 6 corresponds to the lifting rod 10, and the sleeve 3 is provided with a notch corresponding to the gear 6, and the lifting rod 10 is vertically matched with a rack structure. The inner end of the gear 6 enters the sleeve 3 through the notch and engages with the rack structure of the lifting rod 10. The rotating shaft 13 rotates, driving the gear 6 to rotate, and then driving the lifting rod 10 to move vertically up and down. The extension length of the bottom end of the lifting rod 10 is adjusted according to the depth of the ground well valve, so that the lever 5 is inserted into the handwheel of the ground well valve. At this time, the upper part of the sleeve 3 is located outside the wellhead of the ground well, so that the ground well valve can be screwed to open or close it using this tool outside the wellhead.

[0032] The winding wheel 1 is located outside the sleeve 3. The outer diameter of the winding wheel 1 corresponds to the outer diameter of the gear 6. The winding wheel 1 is wound with a detection hose 11. One end of the detection hose 11 is a movable end, which is set at the bottom end of the lifting rod 10. The other end of the detection hose 11 is a fixed end, which is connected to the inlet of the gas detection alarm 2 set on the side plate 101 of the winding wheel 1. The winding wheel 1 and the gear 6 rotate synchronously, so that the detection hose 11 can be released or wound synchronously with the lifting and lowering of the lifting rod 10. When the detection hose 11 is released, its movable end enters the underground well along with the lifting rod 10. If there is a gas leak in the underground well, the leaked gas enters the gas detection alarm 2 through the detection hose 11. When the gas detection alarm 2 detects that the gas concentration reaches the critical point set by the explosion or poisoning alarm, the gas detection alarm 2 will send an alarm signal to remind workers to take safety measures and improve work safety.

[0033] In the present invention, the ratchet structure 9 is similar to a ratchet wrench, comprising a driving body 91, and a ratchet 92 and a pawl 93 disposed within the driving body 91. The driving body 91, the pawl 93, and the ratchet 92 are assembled in a matched manner, wherein the driving body 91 is used to connect to a driving member. For example, in a conventional ratchet wrench structure, the driving body is radially connected to a holding sleeve. Rotating the holding sleeve drives the driving body 91, and the ratchet 92 is rotated unidirectionally by the action of the pawl 93. In the present invention, the driving member of the ratchet structure is a lifting rod 10. The bottom end of the lifting rod 10 is connected to the top surface of the driving element 91 through a connecting member 18. At this time, the lifting rod 10 is axially arranged relative to the driving body 91. The shifting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the ratchet 92. Rotating the lifting rod 10 drives the driving body 91 to rotate. The ratchet 92 is rotated by the action of the pawl, and then the shifting rod 5 is rotated, driving the handwheel of the ground well valve to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing action of the ground well valve. The function of the lifting rod 10 is similar to that of the holding sleeve. This structure is a conventional choice made by those skilled in the art to adapt to specific operating methods (such as applying power at the wellhead and realizing unidirectional rotation of the ratchet in the well in this embodiment), and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In the present invention, a crank 15 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 13 away from the winding reel 1. The crank 15 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, and then drives the gear 6 and the winding reel 1 to rotate, so that the detection hose 11 is released or retracted simultaneously with the up and down movement of the lifting rod, that is, when the lifting rod moves downward, the detection hose 11 is released; when the lifting rod moves upward, the detection hose 11 is wound around the winding reel 1.

[0035] The sleeve 3 is provided with a limiting structure to prevent the sleeve 3 from moving downward under the action of gravity. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting structure includes a limiting plate 12, which is installed on the side wall of the sleeve 3. The rotating shaft 13 passes through the limiting plate 12. The limiting plate 12 is tightly and evenly provided with a number of limiting screw holes 121 around the circumference of the rotating shaft 13. Under the action of gravity, the sleeve 3 moves downward, facing the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 13 and close to the limiting screw hole 121 of the crank 15, which is adapted to the limiting bolt 14. The limiting bolt 14 limits the crank 15 and thus limits the rotation of the rotating shaft 13, locking the relative position of the sleeve 3 and the lifting rod 10 to prevent the sleeve from moving downward under the action of gravity after the lifting rod 10 extends to a length that meets the requirement (at this time, the lever is inserted into the handwheel of the ground well valve and is adapted to connect with the handwheel). That is, when the lifting rod 10 is adjusted to an appropriate length, that is, the lever 5 can be inserted into the handwheel of the ground well valve, the position of the sleeve 3 on the lifting rod 10 is determined by the limiting mechanism, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 3 is prevented from sliding downward under the action of gravity. At this time, the overall height of the tool is determined. By rotating the sleeve 3, the lifting rod 10 drives the shifting rod to rotate, thereby opening or closing the well valve.

[0036] More preferably, two limit bolts 14 may be used and arranged on the left and right sides of the sleeve 3 to prevent the rotating shaft 13 from rotating, thereby locking the relative positions of the sleeve 3 and the lifting rod 10.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom end of the sleeve 3 is provided with an anti-fall net 4, which is a circular ring-shaped net structure with a radial cutout. A fixing sleeve 8 is provided at the bottom end of the sleeve 3, and an annular groove 81 is provided on the outer annular surface of the fixing sleeve 8. The anti-fall net 4 is evenly distributed along the circumference of the anti-fall net 4, with several connecting rods 41 arranged radially along the anti-fall net 4. The inner ends of the connecting rods 41 are provided with balls 17, which slide within the annular groove 81, with a distance between each adjacent ball 17. When the anti-fall net 4 is opened, it covers the wellhead, preventing debris from falling into the well and improving the safety of the well valve opening or closing operation. The detection hose 11 then passes through the cutout 43 of the anti-fall net 4. The anti-fall net 4 is provided with adhesive tape 44 on the cutout 43, which bonds the two ends of the cutout of the anti-fall net 4 together. After the operation is completed, the adhesive function of the adhesive tape 44 is released. At this time, the cut end of the anti-fall net 4 is a free end, the balls 17 move in the groove 81 and move closely together, and the anti-fall net 4 is retracted upward and collected in the cable 19 on the sleeve 3. Figure 4 shown.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
