[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a natural gas pipeline with a natural gas sampling device, comprising: a pipeline body 1, a sampling pipe 2 installed on the pipeline body 1, a control valve 3 provided on the sampling pipe 2, a filter plate 4 coaxially rotatably arranged inside the sampling pipe 2 behind the control valve 3, the filter plate 4 being driven by a drive assembly; a cleaning assembly is provided at one end of the filter plate 4 near the control valve 3 that can move horizontally back and forth, the cleaning assembly being used to clean the dust filtered on the filter plate 4;
[0032] An absorption tube 14 is installed at the end of the sampling tube 2 away from the pipe body 1. A sampling container 15 is provided at the tail of the absorption tube 14. The sampling container 15 is connected to the absorption tube 14 by a quick-connect assembly, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the sampling container 15.
[0033] It should be explained that the pipeline body 1 is used to transport natural gas, the sampling pipe 2 is used to connect with the natural gas pipeline body 1 to provide a sampling channel for the sampling tank 15, and the control valve 3 is used to control the opening and closing of the sampling pipe 2.
[0034] When natural gas is sampled, control valve 3 is opened, and the natural gas in pipeline body 1 passes through filter plate 4 to filter out solid impurities. Then, it flows into sampling tank 15 to collect the natural gas sample. During this process, under the rotation drive of the drive component, filter plate 4 filters the natural gas while rotating, avoiding local blockage of filter plate 4 and extending the service life of filter plate 4. At the same time, the horizontal reciprocating movement of the cleaning component cooperates with the rotating filter plate 4 to clean different parts of filter plate 4, ensuring that filter plate 4 filters natural gas efficiently and improving the accuracy of natural gas sampling.
[0035] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes: a servo motor 7 installed on the outside of the sampling tube 2, a turntable 8 installed at the output end of the servo motor 7, the axis of the turntable 8 being parallel to the axis of the sampling tube 2, and a protruding post 9 being vertically eccentrically arranged on the side of the turntable 8 away from the servo motor 7.
[0036] A limiting hole is radially opened through the pipe wall of the pipe body 1. A connecting rod 11 is slidably arranged along the radial direction of the pipe body 1 at one of the limiting holes. A cleaning brush 12 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 11 inside the pipe body 1. The cleaning brush 12 elastically abuts against the surface of the filter plate 4. A limiting frame 10 is arranged in a T-shape at the other end of the connecting rod 11. The limiting frame 10 has a rectangular frame structure, and the inner wall of the limiting frame 10 slides with the protruding post 9.
[0037] Furthermore, a protective cover 13 is provided on the outside of the cleaning component, and the protective cover 13 is installed on the pipe body 1.
[0038] The servo motor 7 rotates to drive the eccentric protrusion 9 to rotate, which cooperates with the limiting hole 1, thereby driving the limiting frame 10 to move back and forth. This allows the cleaning brush 12 to thoroughly clean different positions on the filter plate 4, ensuring that the filter plate 4 is always in a state of high-efficiency filtration and improving the accuracy of natural gas sampling.
[0039] Furthermore, the quick-connect assembly includes a male connector disposed on the body of the sampling tube 2 and a female connector disposed on the body of the absorption tube 14.
[0040] The male connector includes a fixing plate 16 and a pin 19. The fixing plate 16 is symmetrically arranged at 180° on the end of the sampling tube 2 near the absorption tube 14. The pin 19 is vertically fixed on the side of the fixing plate 16 facing the absorption tube 14.
[0041] The female connector includes a second fixing plate 18. The first fixing plate 16 is symmetrically arranged at 180° on the end of the sampling tube 2 near the absorption tube 14. The second fixing plate 18 has a U-shaped mounting cavity. The opening of the U-shaped mounting cavity is arranged radially towards the absorption tube 14. A boss is formed inside the second fixing plate 18 on the opening side of the U-shaped mounting cavity. A slot 17 is provided on the second fixing plate 18 corresponding to the pin 19. The slot 17 is located in the middle of the boss. A locking unit is installed in the U-shaped mounting cavity for locking the pin 19 after it is inserted into the slot 17.
[0042] Furthermore, the locking unit includes:
[0043] A pressure rod 20 is slidably inserted at the bottom of the U-shaped mounting cavity. A hinge seat 21 is provided on the rod body of the pressure rod 20 inside the U-shaped mounting cavity. One end of a support rod 22 is symmetrically hinged to both sides of the hinge seat 21.
[0044] The U-shaped mounting cavity is located on both sides of the boss and communicates with the slot 17 with a second limiting hole. A sliding cylinder 23 is slidably inserted in the second limiting hole. A limiting rod 24 is slidably provided at the end of the sliding cylinder 23 away from the slot 17. The limiting rod 24 is fixed on the inner wall of the U-shaped mounting cavity. The end of the sliding cylinder 23 away from the slot 17 is hinged to the support rod 22.
[0045] The pressure rod 20 has a deep hole coaxially opened at one end inside the U-shaped mounting cavity. A fixing rod 25 is fixedly installed on the boss. The fixing rod 25 is slidably inserted into the deep hole. A spring 26 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 25. The spring 26 elastically supports the end face of the boss and the pressure rod 20.
[0046] In the initial state, under the elastic force of the spring 26, the two support rods 22 are in a figure-eight shape.
[0047] It should be explained that when the sampling tube 2 and the absorption tube 14 are quickly connected using the quick-connect assembly, pressing the two pressure rods 20 on both sides compresses the spring 26, increases the angle between the two support rods 22, and causes the sliding cylinders 23 to move in opposite directions. Then, the sampling canister 15 is held and the slot 17 and the pin 19 are inserted together. Finally, the pressure rod 20 is released, and under the elastic force of the spring 26, the sliding cylinders 23 move towards each other to lock and limit the pin 19, thus completing the quick connection between the sampling tube 2 and the absorption tube 14.
[0048] When sampling is complete and the sampling container 15 needs to be removed, press the lever 20 to move the slide cylinder 23 to release the locking limit of the pin 19, and then remove the sampling container 15.
[0049] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes: a mounting bracket 5 installed at the rear end of the filter plate 4, a drive motor 6 fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 5, and the output end of the drive motor 6 being coaxially fixedly connected to the filter plate 4.
[0050] Furthermore, a sealing ring 27 is coaxially bonded to one end of the sampling tube 2 near the absorption tube 14, and a sealing groove 28 is opened on the absorption tube 14 corresponding to the sealing ring 27. The sealing ring 27 is elastically locked in the sealing groove 28 to ensure the sealing performance when the sampling tube 2 and the absorption tube 14 are quickly connected.
[0051] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed on the pin 19 corresponding to the outer diameter of the slide cylinder 23.
[0052] Specifically, when the slide cylinder 23 locks and limits the pin 19, it is locked in the limiting groove to prevent the pin 19 from sliding out.
[0053] In practice, pressing the lever quickly connects the sampling tank to the sampling pipe. Then, opening the control valve allows the natural gas in the pipeline to flow into the sampling tank after being filtered by the filter plate, thus completing the natural gas sampling. Furthermore, the filter plate can be cleaned in real-time or periodically using a cleaning assembly to ensure long-term, efficient filtration of the natural gas, improving sampling accuracy and making the test results closer to the true quality of the natural gas.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
