[0022] The embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 The sensor mounting device for leak detection comprises a gas pipe 1, a plurality of groups of sensors 3 and a plurality of groups of sealing mounting pieces 2. A plurality of mounting holes are formed in the gas pipe 1, and the mounting holes, the sensors 3 and the sealing mounting pieces 2 correspond one by one. The sealing mounting piece 2 is used for mounting the sensor 3 on the gas pipe 1. The plurality of groups of sensors 3 are arranged at different positions of the gas pipe 1. The sensor 3 monitors the vibration signal in the gas pipe 1. Since the vibration signals at the leakage position and the normal pipeline position are different, the signals monitored by the sensors 3 at different positions are different.

[0025] Specifically, a plurality of mounting holes are formed through the wall of the gas pipe 1. The sealing mounting piece 2 comprises two groups of assembling pieces 21, a sealing piece 22 and a reinforcing assembly 23. The two groups of assembling pieces 21 embrace the sensor 3. The sealing piece 22 is mounted at one end of the two groups of assembling pieces 21 close to the gas pipe 1. The sealing piece 22 is fixedly inserted into the mounting hole. The probe 31 of the sensor 3 is inserted into the mounting hole through the center hole between the two groups of assembling pieces 21. The reinforcing assembly 23 embraces the gas pipe 1 and is mounted at the two ends of the two groups of assembling pieces 21.

[0026] The assembling piece 21 comprises a fastening ring 211 and two groups of splicing strips 212. The two groups of splicing strips 212 are mounted at the two ends of the fastening ring 211. The two sides of the two groups of fastening rings 211 are fixed by fasteners to fix the two groups of splicing strips 212 close to each other, so that the fastening ring 211 firmly fixes the sensor 3. The inner wall of the fixed fastening ring 211 abuts against the outer wall of the sensor 3.

[0027] The sealing piece 22 comprises a sealing ring 221 and two groups of insertion rings 222. The insertion rings 222 are correspondingly arranged at one end of the fastening ring 211 close to the gas pipe 1. The sealing ring 221 is sleeved on the two groups of insertion rings 222 after merging. The probe 31 is inserted into the inner ring of the sealing ring 221. The inner ring wall of the sealing ring 221 abuts against the outer wall of the probe 31. The outer ring wall of the sealing ring 221 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0028] Preferably, the outer ring outer diameter of the sealing ring 221 is greater than the inner diameter of the mounting hole, so as to ensure sufficient sealing between the sealing ring 221 and the mounting hole. At the same time, for the gas pipe 1 with smaller pressure, the abutting sealing ring 221 can ensure the mounting effect of the sealing mounting piece 2 inserted into the gas pipe 1. At this time, the reinforcing assembly 23 can be removed to save cost and operation time.

[0029] The reinforcing assembly 23 comprises a first clamp 231 and a second clamp 233, which together enclose the trachea 1. One end of the first clamp 231 and the second clamp 233 is respectively installed on the two sets of fastening rings 211, and the other end of the first clamp 231 and the second clamp 233 is respectively provided with a first assembly bar 232 and a second assembly bar 234. The first assembly bar 232 and the second assembly bar 234 are adjacent and fixed by fasteners.

[0031] Preferably, the sensor 3 is a CA-YD-103 vibration sensor.

[0032] It is worth noting that the above is one of the preferred ways. The assembly part 21 can be multiple sets, and the adjacent two sets of assembly parts 21 are fixedly connected at the head and tail. The multiple sets of assembly parts 21 can fix the sensor 3. Correspondingly, the fastening ring 211 corresponds to the assembly part 21 one by one, and the plug-in ring 222 corresponds to the fastening ring 211 one by one.

[0033] Preferably, a plurality of through holes are formed on the outer edge of the fastening ring 211. The two sets of reinforcing assemblies 23 are detachably installed on the fastening ring 211 through the through holes and fasteners to facilitate replacement, so as to adapt to tracheas 1 of different diameters. Other detachable installation methods can also be used, such as installing a clamping assembly on the reinforcing assembly 23, which can arbitrarily clamp the fastening ring 211.

[0034] During installation, the multiple sets of assembly parts 21 enclose the sensor 3, and the sealing ring 221 is sleeved on the assembled plug-in ring 222. The fastening ring 211 is tightly clamped on the sensor 3 by tightening the fasteners on the assembly bar 212, and the sealing ring 221 is further tightly attached to the probe 31 to increase the sealing effect. The plug-in ring 222 sleeved with the sealing ring 221 is inserted into the mounting hole, so that the sealing ring 221 tightly abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole to achieve sealing. Then, the first clamp 231 and the second clamp 233 enclose the trachea 1, and finally the first assembly bar 232 and the second assembly bar 234 are fixed by fasteners.

[0035] The device has simple structure and universality, can adapt to sensors 3 and tracheas 1 of different sizes, and can complete sealing during installation of the sensor 3 to the trachea 1, which is convenient to install and greatly saves time and cost.
