Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas pipeline assessment, in particular to a gas pipeline assessment device capable of automatic detection. Background Art

[0002] Production safety is a core component of gas companies' entire production and operations management process. Improving inspection efficiency and coverage while ensuring personnel safety is paramount in daily operations and maintenance. Currently, gas inspections within urban communities and gas plants primarily rely on handheld or vehicle-mounted detection equipment to check for leaks or equipment anomalies. While these methods are numerous, most have drawbacks. For example, manual inspections suffer from low quality, limited methods, high labor intensity, significant exposure to inclement weather, difficulty in identifying abnormal targets, and potential safety risks. Furthermore, inspection quality varies due to varying personnel qualifications. Community environments differ from typical environments. Gas pipelines are laid in complex locations, covering large areas, and are located close to buildings. This makes it difficult for handheld detection equipment or vehicles to access and effectively inspect hidden leaks or hazardous areas.

[0003] At the same time, with the rapid development of the hydrogen energy industry, blending hydrogen into natural gas at a certain ratio and then transporting it via natural gas pipelines has become an effective way to achieve large-scale hydrogen transportation. Currently, urban gas pipeline leak detection mostly focuses on methane, with some on-board detection equipment also detecting ethane to distinguish between other methane emission sources in the city, such as manholes, rivers, gas stations, and motor vehicles. However, with the progress of cleaner urban gas, more and more biomass gas and hydrogen are being added to gas pipelines, which will greatly dilute the proportion of ethane in the gas. Therefore, new gas detection technologies are urgently needed to improve detection accuracy.

[0004] To sum up, this patent proposes an automatic inspection device for hydrogen blending plants or residential areas, which can replace or assist personnel in working in extremely dangerous environments, reduce the labor intensity of inspectors, ensure stable and efficient inspection quality in harsh environments, significantly reduce safety risks, and ensure the safety of inspectors. Therefore, there is a need for a gas pipeline evaluation device that can automatically detect. Utility Model Content

At the same time, whether to turn on the lighting lamp 3 is selected according to the detection at night or during the day.

[0027] An alarm device 13 is movably installed on the upper part of the gas detector 1, an AI intelligent sensing module 16 is movably installed on the top of the alarm device 13, and a high-definition video camera 17 is electrically connected and installed on the front side of the AI ​​intelligent sensing module 16.

[0028] The bottom of the gas detector 1 is snap-fitted with a mounting base 18, and a battery module 19 is snap-fitted inside the base 18. The battery module 19 is electrically connected to the gas detector 1. A laser radar 22 is movably installed at the bottom of the base 18. During the inspection process, the laser radar 22, the rangefinder 9 and the high-definition video camera 17 are turned on in real time. On the one hand, they monitor the equipment body to avoid accidents such as collisions and falls; on the other hand, they monitor the surrounding environment above the pipeline network and use the AI ​​intelligent perception module 16 to analyze whether there are any third-party dangerous operations such as construction and illegal occupation. When there is an abnormality, the background alarm feedback is given, and the high-definition video camera 17 can adjust the monitoring height and monitoring angle through the angle control frame 14 and the support seat 15.

[0029] The gas detector 1 has air inlets 2 symmetrically provided on the left and right sides, and a locator 4 is bolted onto the upper surface of the gas detector 1. During the inspection process, the gas detector 1 is turned on in real time, and the gas is pumped into the gas detector 1 through the air inlet 2. When the methane gas content exceeds 5000ppm, the ethane and hydrogen detectors are automatically turned on to analyze whether the gas contains ethane or hydrogen content.

[0030] The upper surface of the gas detector 1 is bolted with a mounting seat 5 on the rear side of the locator 4, and a slide groove 6 is opened inside the mounting seat 5. Two sets of limit seats 7 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the slide groove 6 inside the mounting seat 5. The locator 4 is a Beidou positioning device, which can cooperate with the laser radar 22 to realize autonomous planning of the inspection route. At the same time, it can better enable the staff to capture the device and monitor the position of the device in real time. The installed mounting seat 5 and the limit seat 7 set inside the mounting seat 5 limit the mobile seat 10, and the movement of the mobile seat 10 is controlled by the internal driving structure of the mobile seat 10, so that the alarm 13, AI intelligent perception module 16 and high-definition video camera 17 on the upper part of the mobile seat 10 can be more flexibly moved and used.

[0031] A moving seat 10 is slidably installed in the position of the slide groove 6 inside the mounting seat 5, and the left and right sides of the moving seat 10 are inserted into the limit seat 7 for sliding installation. A rotating control seat 12 is rotatably installed on the top of the moving seat 10, and the alarm instrument 13 is bolted and installed on the upper surface of the rotating control seat 12.

The corrugated connecting tube 11 provided at the bottom of the movable seat 10 facilitates the movement of the movable seat 10 to protect the circuit. After the internal wire of the corrugated connecting tube 11 is connected to the internal chip of the gas detector 1, the algorithm of the gas detector 1 can be used to assist in reducing the false alarm interference source and improve the stability of the use of the alarm 13.

[0033] An angle control frame 14 is electrically connected to the outside of the rotation control seat 12, a support seat 15 is installed on the top of the angle control frame 14, and an AI intelligent sensing module 16 is bolted to the top of the support seat 15. The angle control frame 14 and the support seat 15 can independently control the use angle of the AI ​​intelligent sensing module 16 to better capture the surrounding environment information, making the device safer during use.

[0034] Four groups of limit buckles 20 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base 18. The limit buckles 20 are movably connected to the gas detector 1. A protective seat 21 is installed at the bottom of the base 18. Two groups of control legs 23 are installed in front and behind the protective seat 21, and a moving wheel 24 is arranged on the outside of each group of control legs 23. The battery module 19 installed inside the base 18 provides working power for the device. Since the base 18 as a whole is inserted into the lower part of the gas detector 1 through the limit buckles 20, the base 18 and the battery module 19 are easier to be removed and replaced. At the same time, the protective seat 21 is provided to protect the laser radar 22, so that the laser radar 22 is not easily damaged during use, and the cooperation between the laser radar 22 and the locator 4 is more stable and accurate. The control legs 23 and the moving wheels 24 are controlled to move, making the overall movement of the device more convenient.

[0035] In addition, when the ethane or hydrogen content in the gas exceeds 100ppm and is analyzed by the algorithm as a non-biogas source, the point will be recorded and feedback will be given, and the next time the point is tested, it will be tested again. When the point has an alarm for more than three times, the point will be recorded as a point to be manually reviewed, and the feedback will be given to the background record to start the manual review procedure. When the methane content in the environment exceeds 5%vol and the ethane or hydrogen content is greater than 1000ppm, the 6-alarm device will automatically turn on on site with a flashing yellow light, and the background will give feedback and start manual review immediately. During the inspection process, the equipment operating status will be monitored in real time. When the battery module 19 is less than 20%, or when the main detection modules such as the gas detector 1 and the high-definition video camera 17 fail, the feedback will be recorded in the background, and the inspection data will be uploaded and the inspection task will be ended early and returned to the base.
