[0041] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in common dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the prior art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless specifically defined as herein.
[0042] The present application provides a pipeline protection device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pipeline protection device includes: a clamp 1, a column 2, a settlement monitoring device 3, a vibration monitoring device 4 and a power supply assembly 5; the clamp 1 is used to be sleeved on the pipeline; one end of the column 2 is connected to the clamp 1, and the other end of the column 2 extends vertically upward; the settlement monitoring device 3 is arranged on the column 2 and is communicated with the external control system; the vibration monitoring device 4 is arranged on the clamp 1 and is communicated with the external control system; the power supply assembly 5 is arranged on the column 2 and is respectively connected to the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4.
[0043] Specifically, the clamp 1 is a circular ring structure and is used to be sleeved onto the pipeline. The column 2 is used to support the power supply assembly 5 and the settlement monitoring device 3, and the end of the column 2 away from the clamp 1 is used to extend to the ground. The settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4 both use existing technology, and the data monitored by the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4 can be transmitted to an external control system, allowing personnel to obtain the settlement and vibration conditions of the pipeline. The power supply assembly 5 is used to supply power to the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4 respectively.
[0044] In this application, after the clamp 1 is put on the pipeline, the relative positioning of the vibration monitoring device 4 and the pipeline is achieved by fixing the clamp 1 to the pipeline, and the settlement monitoring device 3 is positioned by the column 2, so that the settlement and vibration data of the pipeline can be obtained by the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4 respectively, so that the staff can understand the pipeline situation in real time, ensure the safety of the pipeline, and reduce safety risks.
[0045] It is understandable that the settlement monitoring device 3 can be exposed on the ground along with the column 2, or can be buried underground along with the column 2; when the settlement monitoring device 3 is exposed on the ground, it is convenient to maintain or replace the settlement monitoring device 3.
[0046] It should be noted that the clamp 1 described in this application is sleeved on the pipeline and is in direct contact with the pipeline; while the column 2 is not in direct contact with the pipeline, which will cause the vibration signal to attenuate or even be filtered, thereby reducing the sensitivity of vibration monitoring. Therefore, this application sets the vibration monitoring device 4 on the clamp 1, so that the vibration monitoring device 4 can directly collect tiny vibration signals around the pipeline, such as vibrations caused by construction machinery, and these vibrations are effectively transmitted to the external control system through the clamp 1.
[0047] The column 2 is a stable supporting structure that can directly reflect the settlement of the foundation or the surrounding environment. Therefore, the column 2 can transmit the foundation movement signal more stably and avoid interference from pipeline operation or vibration. The settlement monitoring device 3 needs to measure the settlement or displacement of the overall environment. The clamp 1 is fixed to the pipeline, and the pipeline may cause local displacement or deformation due to operation or changes in internal and external pressure, resulting in interference with the settlement monitoring data and reducing measurement accuracy. Therefore, in this application, the settlement monitoring device 3 is fixed on the column 2, and the column 2 provides a stable reference point for the settlement monitoring device 3 to accurately sense the settlement of the pipeline.
[0048] In one embodiment of this application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power supply assembly 5 includes a solar panel 51 , and the solar panel 51 is arranged at an end of the column 2 away from the clamp 1 .
[0049] Specifically, the end of the column 2 away from the clamp 1 extends vertically upward to the ground, and the solar panel 51 is installed at the top of the column 2 to receive solar energy, convert the solar energy into electrical energy, and transmit it to the settlement monitoring equipment 3 and the vibration monitoring equipment 4 to power the settlement monitoring equipment 3 and the vibration monitoring equipment 4.
[0050] In one embodiment of this application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power supply assembly 5 further includes a battery 52 , which is disposed between the column 2 and the clamp 1 ; the battery 52 is connected to the solar panel 51 .
[0051] Specifically, the battery 52 is directly electrically connected to the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4, thereby directly powering the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4; at the same time, the battery 52 is also connected to the solar panel 51, so that the electric energy converted by the solar panel 51 can be stored in the battery 52, thereby powering the settlement monitoring device 3 and the vibration monitoring device 4 to save electric energy.
[0052] The battery 52 is heavy. If installed at a higher position, it may cause the overall center of gravity of the pipeline protection device to be too high, reducing stability. Furthermore, if the battery 52 is installed in the upper middle portion of the column 2, it will be more susceptible to the adverse effects of rain, sunlight, or other external conditions, thereby reducing the lifespan and performance of the battery 52. However, placing the battery 52 between the column 2 and the clamp 1, that is, placing the battery 52 at the bottom end of the column 2, can effectively lower the center of gravity, improve the anti-overturning ability of the entire device, and ensure the stability of the settlement monitoring device 3 in harsh environments (such as strong winds and construction vibrations).
[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, the pipeline protection device further includes a first clamping portion 6, a second clamping portion 7 (such as Figure 1 As shown) and the locking portion 8 (as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown); the locking portion 8 is arranged at one end of the column 2 close to the clamp 1; the clamp 1 has an opening, the first clamping portion 6 is arranged at one end of the opening, and the second clamping portion 7 is arranged at the other end of the opening; the first clamping portion 6 and the second clamping portion 7 are both engaged with the locking portion 8.
[0054] Specifically, the first engaging portion 6 and the second engaging portion 7 are both used to engage with the locking portion 8, thereby positioning the clamp 1 in a circular ring structure; when the first engaging portion 6 and / or the second engaging portion 7 are disengaged from the locking portion 8, the opening is opened, and the clamp 1 can pass through the periphery of the pipeline, thereby being sleeved on the pipeline, and then by engaging the first engaging portion 6 and the second engaging portion 7 with the locking portion 8, the opening can be closed, and the clamp 1 is positioned on the pipeline.
[0055] In this embodiment, the pipeline protection device can be disassembled and installed on the pipeline through the cooperation of the first engaging portion 6, the second engaging portion 7 and the locking portion 8.
[0056] In one embodiment of this application, Figure 4 As shown, a first card slot 81 and a second card slot 82 are provided on the side of the locking portion 8 facing away from the column 2 . The first card slot 81 cooperates with the first engaging portion 6 , and the second card slot 82 cooperates with the second engaging portion 7 .
[0057] Specifically, the battery 52 is disposed between the locking portion 8 and the column 2; the locking portion 8 is provided with a first slot 81 and a second slot 82. The first slot 81 is configured to engage with the first engaging portion 6, and the second slot 82 is configured to engage with the second engaging portion 7. When the first engaging portion 6 is inserted into the first slot 81 and the second engaging portion 7 is inserted into the second slot 82, the opening is closed, and the clamp 1 is locked in the annular structure. When the first engaging portion 6 is removed from the first slot 81 and / or the second engaging portion 7 is removed from the second slot 82, the opening is opened, and the clamp 1 can be removed from the pipeline.
[0058] Example 1 in this application
[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamp 1 includes a first clamp body 11, a second clamp body 12 and a plurality of elastic protrusions 10; one end of the first clamp body 11 is connected to the column 2, and the other end of the first clamp body 11 has a notch; the first clamp body 11 is a hollow structure, and a plurality of assembly holes 9 are provided on the inner wall of the first clamp body 11, and the plurality of assembly holes 9 are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the clamp 1; one end of the second clamp body 12 is inserted into the first clamp body 11 from the notch, and can be pulled and moved relative to the first clamp body 11; a plurality of elastic protrusions 10 are provided on the second clamp body 12; the elastic protrusions 10 correspond to the assembly holes 9 one by one.
[0060] Specifically, the clamp 1 is a separate structure formed by a first clamp body 11 and a second clamp body 12. The first clamp body 11 accommodates a portion of the second clamp body 12 through the notch, resulting in a partial overlap between the first and second clamp bodies 11, 12. The second clamp body 12 can also be pulled relative to the first clamp body 11 to change the overlap between the first and second clamp bodies 11, thereby changing the diameter of the clamp 1 when it is positioned to form a circular ring structure. This adjusts the diameter of the pipeline that the clamp 1 can accommodate, thereby expanding the applicability of the clamp 1. When the second clamp body 12 moves inward from the first clamp body 11, the overlap between the first and second clamp bodies 11, 12 decreases, and the diameter of the pipeline that the clamp 1 can accommodate decreases. When the second clamp body 12 moves outward from the first clamp body 11, the overlap between the first and second clamp bodies 11, 12 increases, and the diameter of the pipeline that the clamp 1 can accommodate increases.
[0061] The elastic clamping protrusion 10 is used to fix the overlapping length between the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12 to prevent relative movement between the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12. Specifically, when each of the elastic clamping protrusions 10 is correspondingly engaged with one of the assembly holes 9, the overlapping length between the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12 is the largest, and the diameter of the pipeline applicable to the clamp 1 is the smallest; the second clamp body 12 is pulled outward from the first clamp body 11 so that the elastic clamping protrusion 10 corresponds to the outer assembly hole 9, and the overlapping length between the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12 is reduced; when the outermost elastic clamping protrusion 10 is engaged with the outermost assembly hole 9, the overlapping length between the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12 is the smallest, and the diameter of the pipeline applicable to the clamp 1 is the largest.
[0062] It is understood that, because the elastic latch 10 is elastic, by pressing the elastic latch 10, the height of the elastic latch 10 relative to the second hoop body 12 is reduced, thereby eliminating interference between the elastic latch 10 and the assembly hole 9. As a result, the second hoop body 12 can be pulled and moved to change the overlapping length between the first hoop body 11 and the second hoop body 12. When the elastic latch 10 moves to correspond to a particular assembly hole 9 and the external pressure on the elastic latch 10 is removed, the elastic latch 10 can restore its elastic deformation and be inserted into the corresponding assembly hole 9, thereby achieving relative positioning between the first hoop body 11 and the second hoop body 12.
[0063] Example 2 in this application
[0064] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the clamp 1 includes a first clamp body 11, a second clamp body 12 and a rotating shaft 101; a portion of the second clamp body 12 is arranged overlapping with the first clamp body 11; the rotating shaft 101 is respectively connected to the overlapping parts between the first clamp body 11 and the second clamp body 12, and the first clamp body 11 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 101.
[0065] Specifically, the portion of the first hoop body 11 that overlaps with the second hoop body 12 is located on the inner side of the second hoop body 12, and the rotating shaft 101 connects the overlapping portion between the first hoop body 11 and the second hoop body 12, and enables the first hoop body 11 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 101, so that the first hoop body 11 can rotate to overlap with the second hoop body 12 (at this time, the overlapping area reaches the maximum, such as Figure 6As shown in the figure), the space occupied by the pipeline protection device as a whole is reduced, which is more conducive to the storage of the pipeline protection device when settlement and vibration monitoring are not performed. When the first clamp body 11 can also be rotated until the overlapping area with the second clamp body 12 is minimized (as shown in the figure), the first clamp body 11 can be rotated until the overlapping area with the second clamp body 12 is minimized (as shown in the figure). Figure 7 As shown), the clamp 1 forms a circular ring structure as a whole, so as to be fixed on the pipeline for settlement and vibration monitoring.
[0066] In one embodiment of this embodiment, the vibration monitoring device 4 is disposed on the first clamp body 11. Because the portion of the first clamp body 11 that overlaps with the second clamp body 12 is located on the inner side of the second clamp body 12, the first clamp body 11 can be closer to the pipeline when the clamp 1 is assembled on the pipeline. Therefore, by disposing the vibration monitoring device 4 on the first clamp body 11, the vibration monitoring device 4 can be closer to the pipeline, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring.
[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, the pipeline protection device further includes a protective sleeve 102 , and the protective sleeve 102 is sleeved outside the clamp 1 .
[0068] Specifically, the protective sleeve 102 is sleeved on the outside of the clamp 1. When the clamp 1 is installed on the pipeline, the protective sleeve 102 can contact the pipeline, so that the surface of the pipeline is protected by the protective sleeve 102, preventing the outer surface of the pipeline from being damaged during the installation of the pipeline protection device.
[0069] In summary, the present application provides a pipeline protection device, which includes: a clamp for being put on the pipeline; a column, one end of which is connected to the clamp and the other end of which extends vertically upward; a settlement monitoring device, which is arranged on the column and is communicatively connected to an external control system; a vibration monitoring device, which is arranged on the clamp and is communicatively connected to an external control system; a power supply component, which is arranged on the column and is respectively connected to the settlement monitoring device and the vibration monitoring device. In the present application, after the clamp is put on the pipeline, the relative positioning of the vibration monitoring device and the pipeline is achieved by fixing the clamp and the pipeline, and the settlement monitoring device is positioned by the column, so that the settlement and vibration data of the pipeline can be obtained by the settlement monitoring device and the vibration monitoring device respectively, so that the staff can understand the pipeline situation in real time, ensure the safety of the pipeline, and reduce safety risks.
