Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas system, running other medium's pipeline, especially to a kind of urban gas pipeline continuous pipe sleeve device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The prior art status is as follows:

[0003] 1. Standard specification:

[0004] According to industry standards, when gas pipelines cross drainage pipes, heat pipe trenches, comprehensive pipe galleries, tunnels and other various purpose trenches, the gas pipelines should be laid in the sleeve, and the two ends of the sleeve need to be sealed with flexible corrosion-resistant materials to prevent groundwater or other media from entering the inside of the sleeve.

[0005] 2. Installation period problem:

[0006] During the early construction stage, some gas pipelines failed to strictly follow the current standards to install sleeves, resulting in some gas pipelines being directly exposed near other pipelines or structures, increasing the risk of leakage and maintenance difficulty.

[0007] 3. Changes in operating environment:

[0008] With the development of cities, the use of underground space becomes more complex, and factors such as soil conditions around the original gas pipelines without sleeves and the layout of adjacent pipelines may change, further affecting the safety and stability of the gas pipelines.

[0009] 4. Traditional repair method:

[0010] Traditional repair schemes usually involve shutting down gas, installing sleeves, welding restoration, and rerouting operations on running gas pipelines. This method requires long-term gas shutdown and fire operation, which not only has high safety risks, but also brings inconvenience to residents' life, and increases engineering cost and time cost.

[0011] The existing problems and shortcomings of the urban gas pipeline sleeve installation technology include:

[0012] 1. Gas leakage safety hazard:

[0013] Once the gas pipeline without sleeve leaks, especially in confined spaces (such as trenches and valve wells), gas is easy to accumulate to form explosive mixtures, increasing the likelihood of accidents and threatening public safety.

[0014] 2. Maintenance difficulty:

[0015] Gas pipelines without casing protection are more susceptible to external factors such as corrosion, mechanical damage, etc., making daily inspection and maintenance more difficult to detect potential problems and take preventive measures in a timely manner.

[0016] 3. High economic cost:

[0017] Using traditional methods to install casings on existing gas pipelines involves complex construction processes, including gas shutdown, excavation, welding, and a series of procedures that generate high direct and indirect costs, as well as economic losses and social negative impacts due to gas supply interruptions.

[0018] 4. Large social impact:

[0019] Gas supply needs to be temporarily suspended during construction, causing significant disruption to daily life for residents; in addition, hot work operations also pose additional safety hazards, especially in densely populated urban areas, where any safety incidents can lead to serious social consequences.

[0020] In summary, although existing casing installation technology for urban gas pipelines has clear standards to guide it, it still faces many challenges in practical application. To address these issues, it is necessary to explore more efficient, safe, and economical new technologies and methods to ensure the safe and stable operation of urban gas pipeline networks.

[0048] In Figures 1 to 3 the embodiment of the present application provides a device for continuously sleeving a city gas pipeline, comprising:

[0049] a sleeve assembly for sleeving the city gas pipeline;

[0050] a centering assembly for centering and positioning the sleeve assembly and the city gas pipeline and forming a sealed filling cavity with the sleeve assembly;

[0051] a filling assembly for filling adhesive into the sealed filling cavity.

[0052] In the above technical solution, the sleeve assembly is arranged to sleeve the city gas pipeline, the centering assembly is arranged to center and position the sleeve assembly and the city gas pipeline 1 and form a sealed filling cavity with the sleeve assembly, and the filling assembly is arranged to fill adhesive into the sealed filling cavity, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of city gas pipeline construction.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the device further comprises a sleeve clamp, wherein

[0054] the sleeve clamp is arranged to clamp and fix the sleeve assembly. The specific structure of the sleeve clamp is not shown in the figure and is a known technology, which will not be described here.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the sleeve assembly comprises two semicircular pipes 6, wherein

[0056] the two ends of the semicircular pipes are connected to the city gas pipeline through the centering assembly.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the centering assembly comprises a centering rubber ring 4, wherein

[0058] the centering rubber ring is arranged to be fixed to the city gas pipeline and the semicircular pipe to form the sealed filling cavity. Specifically, the centering rubber ring is fixed to the city gas pipeline 1 through the adhesive resin 2.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the semicircular pipe is provided with an adhesive inlet and an adhesive outlet, and the adhesive inlet and the adhesive outlet are in communication with the sealed filling cavity.

[0060] Specifically, the semicircular pipe is provided with an epoxy resin outlet 3 and an epoxy resin inlet 8.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the adhesive inlet is arranged on the semicircular pipe below the city gas pipeline, and the adhesive outlet is arranged on the semicircular pipe above the city gas pipeline.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the semi-circular pipe is wrapped with a composite material 7 on the outside.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the adhesive filling pressure of the filling assembly is less than 0.01 MPa.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the sealed filling cavity is filled with adhesive.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the adhesive uses epoxy resin. Specifically, the adhesive uses filling epoxy resin 5.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 3 Specifically, the device for continuously sleeving the urban gas pipeline includes:

[0067] Semi-circular pipe: two semi-circular pipes are selected as the sleeve main body, and the inner diameter thereof should be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the gas pipeline to be protected; a certain arc-shaped semi-pipe, a square pipeline semi-pipe, etc. can also be used; in addition, multiple sleeve materials can be used according to the needs of the protection structure. The interface between the semi-pipes can be flat, or can be a stepped, toothed or other meshing structure.

[0068] Sealing structure: in order to ensure good sealing between the sleeve and the gas pipeline, a positioning centering rubber rod is arranged at the end of the two semi-circular pipes, and the annular gap and the joint position of the sleeve and the gas pipeline are coated with adhesive resin; the butt joint of the sleeve can also be wrapped and sealed using sealing tape and other materials.

[0069] Composite material outer layer: a layer or multiple layers of high-performance composite material are wrapped outside the assembled sleeve to enhance the overall strength and durability of the sleeve, and also to play a role in corrosion prevention.

[0070] Filling epoxy resin: the epoxy resin is injected into the gap between the protected pipe and the sleeve by using negative pressure suction or filling.

[0071] When filling the epoxy resin between the sleeve and the gas pipeline, vacuum degassing treatment can be performed, or direct filling or suction can be performed. When vacuum degassing treatment is performed, the negative pressure should be lower than one atmosphere, and is preferably lower than 0.01 MPa. This has multiple effects: first, the sealing performance is significantly enhanced, the fine gaps between the sleeve and the gas pipeline are fully filled, and gas leakage is effectively prevented; second, an additional protective layer is formed to isolate external moisture and chemicals from corroding the pipeline, thereby strengthening the corrosion resistance of the pipeline; third, the structural stability is improved, the sleeve and the gas pipeline are tightly connected, the overall stability is enhanced, and the risk of pipeline displacement or deformation caused by external factors is reduced; fourth, good insulation performance is achieved to prevent current interference and ensure normal operation of the gas pipeline.

[0072] The construction process of the device for continuously sleeving the urban gas pipeline is:

[0073] ① On-site investigation: detailed on-site investigation of the gas pipeline section requiring sleeve installation is performed to determine the specific construction location, surrounding environmental conditions, and possible technical difficulties;

[0074] ② On-site work: excavation, measurement of the gas pipeline diameter and sleeve installation length and position, and cleaning of the gas pipeline to ensure accurate subsequent operation;

[0075] ③ Preparation work: necessary tools and materials are prepared, including half-round pipes, adhesive resin, epoxy resin pouring, and composite materials;

[0076] ④ Half-round pipe installation: the end of the upper and lower half-round pipes of the sleeve is installed, centered, and glued with a rod, the diameter of the rod is determined according to the gap between the sleeve and the gas pipe, a margin is reserved, and the end of the half-round pipe is aligned; adhesive resin is applied to the end face of the half-round pipe;

[0077] ⑤ Adhesive resin application: the sleeve is fixed on the gas pipeline using a sleeve clamp, adhesive resin is applied to the joint position of the half-round pipe; at the end of the sleeve, the annular gap between the sleeve and the gas pipeline is coated with adhesive resin; after the resin solidifies, the next step is performed;

[0078] ⑥ Composite material reinforcement: the clamp is removed, the composite material is cut to the appropriate size, and is uniformly wound around the surface of the pipeline; after winding is completed, ultraviolet light is used for curing;

[0079] ⑦ Epoxy resin pouring: the main agent and curing agent of the pouring epoxy resin are weighed according to the proportion and thoroughly mixed; the pouring epoxy resin is vacuum degassed to ensure the compactness of the pouring epoxy resin. The negative pressure of the epoxy resin degassing is less than 0.01 MPa; the pouring epoxy resin is injected into the sleeve by negative pressure suction.

[0080] ⑧ Quality inspection: after construction is completed, the newly installed sleeve is comprehensively quality inspected according to relevant standards to ensure that all indicators meet the requirements;

[0081] ⑨ Backfilling and restoration: the construction site is cleaned, all construction equipment and waste are removed, the original topography is restored, and the normal use of the surrounding environment and public facilities is ensured.

[0082] In the above technical solution, the positive effects of the present application include:

[0083] 1. Safety is significantly improved

[0084] Non-welding operation: cold connection technology is adopted, avoiding the need for welding operation in the traditional process, eliminating the risk of fire or explosion caused by open flame.

[0086] Leakage prevention design: Through special sealing structure, even if the gas pipeline leaks, it can effectively prevent gas from gathering in the closed space, thereby reducing the potential safety hazards.

[0087] 2. Convenient and efficient construction

[0088] Quick installation: The use of two half-round pipes to form a complete sleeve, combined with a composite outer layer, makes the entire installation process simple and fast, greatly shortening the construction time.

[0089] No line change: No need to adjust the original gas pipeline direction or position, simplifying the construction process and reducing interference with surrounding infrastructure.

[0090] Strong adaptability: Suitable for different diameters and materials of gas pipelines, as well as various complex underground environments, with wide applicability.

[0091] 3. Economic cost reduction

[0092] Reduced direct costs: Compared with traditional high-cost operations such as disconnecting gas pipelines, installing sleeves, and welding to restore, the invention greatly reduces material and labor costs.

[0093] Indirect benefits are obvious: Avoiding economic losses and social impacts caused by gas stop, while reducing additional costs such as traffic control and environmental restoration.

[0094] Low long-term maintenance cost: High-quality sealing performance and durable composite outer layer extend the service life of the sleeve, reducing the frequency of subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0095] 4. Environmentally friendly

[0096] Reducing air pollution: Avoiding harmful gas emissions that may occur during hot work, helping to improve air quality.

[0097] 5. Improve public service quality
