Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of corrosion online monitoring test, and particularly relates to an improved probe sealing cavity structure. Background Art

[0002] During the long-term service life of pipelines, the inner wall of the pipeline will inevitably undergo physical and chemical reactions with the conveying medium, resulting in corrosion. To investigate the corrosion status of the inner wall caused by corrosive media inside the pipeline and evaluate the long-term stability of the pipeline, interventional corrosion monitoring probe technology is often used to monitor the internal corrosion status of the pipeline. A data collector equipped with corresponding test probes measures and collects real-time corrosion data on the inner wall of the pipeline. Finally, the on-site corrosion data is transmitted to the data analysis platform via wired or wireless means for display and analysis.

[0003] Currently, intrusive corrosion monitoring probes are often installed using a specific access device, coupled with a suitable sealing structure to effectively seal potential leaks in the probe, preventing leakage of the internal medium. However, conventional sealing methods for probe leaks, such as using a gland to compress the packing, while this sealing structure provides good sealing performance, often make it difficult to remove the probe during major overhauls, when the probe system needs to be disassembled for maintenance, and after the effective measurement portion of the probe has been depleted, due to the hardening of the packing. Therefore, further improvements to the probe's sealing cavity structure are needed. Utility Model Content

[0019] In order to solve at least one of the above problems, the present invention provides an improved probe sealing cavity structure. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the sealed chamber structure includes: a probe 1, a locking spring 2, a locking nut 3, a compression nut 4, a limit nut 5, a pressure ring 6, a sealing chamber 7, a flange short circuit 8, a sealing ring 9, and a probe electrode installed at one end of the probe 1. After the probe 1 passes through the locking nut 3, compression nut 4, pressure ring 6, sealing ring 9, sealing chamber 7, and the extraction device of the flange short circuit 8 in sequence, one end of the probe 1 with the probe electrode 11 extends into the interior of the pipe 10 and is fixed by the locking nut 3.

[0020] The pipe 10 is provided with a connection and extraction device for the flange short-circuit 8, through which the probe 1 can be extended into the interior of the pipe; one end of the outer side of the flange short-circuit 8 is processed with an external thread that matches the internal thread at the lower end of the sealing cavity 7. The lower end of the sealing cavity 7 is threadedly connected to the flange short-circuit 8 and tightened, and a sealing effect is achieved by using raw tape or sealant between the threads. A sealing groove is provided inside the sealing cavity 7, and a number of sealing rings 9 are placed in the sealing groove by longitudinal and lateral installation so that after being pressurized, many tortuous chambers are formed in the sealing cavity 7 to reduce leakage. The sealing groove structure of the sealing cavity 7 can be rectangular, triangular, or other shapes. The degree of compression between the several sealing rings 9 is controlled by tightening the compression nut 4 to drive the pressure ring 6 so that the sealing ring 9 undergoes elastic deformation and expansion in the radial direction, and the axial tight fit with the specially constructed sealing cavity structure produces a tortuous path. The upper and lower surfaces of the pressure ring 6 can be set to be flat, conical or concave-convex surfaces; preferably, the upper surface of the pressure ring 6 is consistent with the compression surface of the clamping nut 4 and forms good contact; the lower surface of the pressure ring 6 adopts a structural form that matches the surface of the sealing ring 9. In addition, the limiting nut 5 is thread-matched with the clamping nut 4. On the one hand, the degree of compression of the clamping nut 4 on the sealing ring 9 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the limiting nut 5. On the other hand, the limiting nut 5 has the function of tightening the clamping nut 4. The upper end of the clamping nut 4 is thread-matched with the locking nut 3, and the locking spring 2 is concentrically placed inside the locking nut 3. When the rotating locking nut 3 is matched with the clamping nut 4, the locking spring 2 is prompted to move downward and can wrap the probe 1 inward.

[0021] Example 1: First, a flange short-circuit 8 outlet device that matches the probe system is pre-installed on the pipeline 10. Before the sealing cavity 7 and the flange short-circuit 8 are matched and installed, an appropriate amount of raw tape must be wrapped around the thread or an appropriate amount of sealant must be applied before installation. After installation, the valve on the outlet device must be opened to ensure that the threads at the flange short-circuit 8 do not leak. First, slowly loosen the clamping nut 4, and then loosen the locking nut 3 until the medium in the pipeline 10 does not leak from the threads of the clamping nut 4 and the locking nut 3, and the probe 1 can just be pressed into the interior of the pipeline 10. After the probe 1 is installed in place, first tighten the clamping nut 4, then tighten the locking nut 3, and finally fix the limit nut 5 to complete the installation.

[0022] Due to pressure rating and sealing requirements, increases in the internal pressure of pipeline 10 can affect the sealing performance of the probe system, thereby affecting operational stability and reliability. The compression seal structure of the probe 1 inserted into pipeline 10 can adapt to large fluctuations in internal pipeline pressure by cooperating with the compression nut 4, lock nut 3, limit nut 5, and sealing ring 9 to ensure its sealing performance.

All technical features described in the present invention can be freely combined or combined in any way unless there is a contradiction between them.
