[0023] refer to Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] A water supply pipe with heat preservation and monitoring includes an outer protective layer 1, a composite reinforcement layer 2 and an inner lining layer 3. The outer protective layer 1 and the composite reinforcement layer 2 are sequentially fitted onto the inner lining layer 3. A plurality of heating cables 4 are provided in the inner lining layer 3. The plurality of heating cables 4 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the inner lining layer 3. A monitoring optical cable 5 is spirally wound on the outer wall of the composite reinforcement layer 2.
[0025] Specifically, in actual use, water supply pipes are mostly made of steel pipes, which suffer from problems such as scaling, waxing, and corrosion after long-term use. The scale can also clog the steel pipes and reduce the flow rate. The inner lining 3 is made of heat-resistant polyethylene, which has the advantages of smooth surface and low fluid resistance. Compared with existing steel water supply pipes, the inner wall of the inner lining 3 is smooth and does not accumulate scale or wax. It can ensure stable flow rate after long-term use. The inner lining 3 with a smaller diameter can meet or even exceed the flow rate of larger diameter steel pipes.
[0026] Specifically, the heating cable 4 can be made of highly flexible materials such as carbon fiber and alloy resistance wire, which facilitates the installation and laying of water pipes. The water supply pipes can be installed by trenching and backfilling or by direct outdoor installation. However, both installation methods may involve pipe bending. Flexible carbon fiber and alloy resistance wire can ensure that the heating cable 4 will not break easily.
[0027] Specifically, the conductor diameter of the heating cable 4 is 1.12±0.001mm, the resistance is 0.01687-0.01785Ω / m, the maximum electric heating power is 30w / m, and it is powered by 380V. In cold environments, the heating cable 4 heats the inner lining layer 3 to maintain its working temperature between 30°C and 50°C. The inner lining layer 3 transfers the heat generated by the heating cable 4 to the water in the pipe through heat transfer. Considering the heat loss during heat transfer, the water in the pipe can be kept at a normal temperature of 10°C-20°C to avoid ice blockage. Of course, the inner lining layer 3 can also adjust the power of the heating cable 4 according to the actual ambient temperature. For example, when the temperature is close to the freezing point, the heating power is increased; when the temperature returns to normal, the heating is reduced or stopped to achieve energy saving.
[0028] Specifically, in order to ensure the strength of the water pipe, the composite reinforcement layer 2 is made of glass fiber reinforced polyethylene prepreg tape wound and melt-molded. The polyethylene matrix has a low density, and after being combined with glass fiber reinforcement, the overall material is lightweight and its mechanical strength is significantly improved. Its tensile strength and bending performance are close to those of metal materials, which can effectively improve the overall strength of the water pipe.
[0029] Specifically, the monitoring optical cable 5 is an optical fiber for monitoring the temperature of the inner liner 3 in real time, thereby indirectly monitoring the water temperature in the pipeline. The temperature monitoring is specifically achieved by using an existing distributed optical fiber temperature sensing system (DTS) which uses Raman effect for temperature measurement. The distributed optical fiber temperature sensing system shoots a pulsed laser into the monitoring optical cable 5, obtains backscattered light at the sending end, and analyzes the backscattered light.
[0030] When the pulsed laser is transmitted in the monitoring optical cable 5, it has inelastic collision with molecules in the medium of the monitoring optical cable 5, thereby generating Raman scattering (mainly backscattering). The distributed optical fiber temperature sensing system separates the returned scattered light into two paths, Stokes scattered light and Anti-Stokes scattered light. The wavelength of the Stokes scattered light is longer than that of the incident light, corresponding to the molecular vibration energy absorption process. The wavelength of the Anti-Stokes scattered light is shorter than that of the incident light, corresponding to the molecular vibration energy release process. The intensity ratio of the two is directly related to the temperature. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0031] T = C·ln(I AS / I S ),
[0032] wherein T is the temperature, I AS represents the intensity of the Anti-Stokes scattered light, I S represents the intensity of the Stokes scattered light, and C is a calibration coefficient.
[0033] In addition, the position of the scattering point is calculated by the time difference between the pulse emission and reception. The specific formula is as follows:
[0034] L = C·t / (2n),
[0035] wherein t is the time difference between the pulse emission and reception, n is the refractive index of the optical fiber, and c is the speed of the pulsed laser.
[0036] In addition, the monitoring optical cable 5 can also use the distributed optical fiber temperature sensing system to monitor whether the pipeline has a leakage, a rupture, or the like in real time. Generally, the water temperature at each position in the entire pipeline is roughly the same, as shown in FIG. 2. When the pipeline has a leakage, a rupture, or the like, the leaked water will cause the temperature around the pipeline to rise. At this time, the sudden change point of the temperature can be used to quickly and accurately locate the rupture point, thereby improving the repair efficiency of the pipeline. Figure 3
[0037] Specifically, the wall thickness of the inner lining layer 3 is 5-80mm, and the wall thickness of the composite reinforcing layer 2 is 5-10mm. The specific wall thickness is selected according to the actual diameter of the inner lining layer 3 and the composite reinforcing layer 2. In this utility model, the inner diameter of the inner lining layer 3 is between 20-1000mm. By selecting an appropriate wall thickness according to the actual diameter, the maximum operating pressure of the pipeline can reach 10MP, thereby improving the stability during use.
[0038] Specifically, the outer protective layer 1 is used to prevent damage to the monitoring optical cable 5 from the external environment during use. The outer protective layer 1 is made of heat-resistant polyethylene and has certain flexibility, wear resistance, impact resistance and UV resistance.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, if the external environment is too cold, an insulation layer 6 can be added on top of the outer protective layer 1. The insulation layer 6 is made of insulation materials such as polyurethane foam, which can effectively concentrate the heat lost by the heating cable 4 and reduce the heat loss rate of the heating cable 4.
