Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline detector technology, and in particular to a protective cover for a pipeline detector. Background Technology

[0002] Pipeline detectors, as key tools for locating and detecting underground pipelines, play a vital role in many fields such as water supply, gas transmission, railway communication, municipal construction, and industrial and mining infrastructure. They typically consist of a receiver and a transmitter, which work together to detect underground pipelines. In practical applications, pipeline detectors employ various detection methods to adapt to different detection scenarios and needs. Among these, the induction method detects the target pipeline by inductively exciting it; the clamp method applies the transmitter signal to clamps, which are then placed on the metal pipeline or cable being detected to transmit and detect the signal; and the direct connection method connects the transmitter directly to one end of the pipeline outcrop and the other end to the vertical pipe leading to the ground, thus establishing the necessary circuit for detection.

[0003] Because different detection methods require different components to work with the transmitter, pipeline detector kits, in addition to the receiver and transmitter, also include a series of pipeline components such as standard clamps, grounding extension cables, straight-through cables, magnetic clips, and grounding rods. Currently, pipeline detector kits are typically packaged and carried in bags, containing the transmitter, receiver, and other pipeline components together. However, bags themselves offer insufficient protection and cannot adequately safeguard the internal pipeline components. Especially in harsh outdoor operating environments, such as complex terrain and high-frequency collisions, pipeline components are easily damaged, affecting the normal operation of detection work and increasing usage costs and maintenance difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a protective cover for a pipeline detector, the purpose of which is to improve the protection of pipeline components in the pipeline detector.

[0005] The solution provided by this utility model includes:

[0006] A protective cover for a pipeline detector is disposed at the bottom of a transmitter and includes a cover body. The cover body has a storage cavity and an opening at its top. The opening of the cover body corresponds to the bottom of the transmitter. The cover body is provided with a fastener for snap-fit ​​connection with the transmitter.

[0007] As a further optional solution, the first end of the fastener is provided with a hinge portion, which is hinged to the cover; the second end of the fastener is provided with a hook portion, which is used to fasten the transmitter; an arc-shaped connecting portion is integrally connected between the hinge portion and the hook portion.

[0008] As a further optional feature, the second end of the fastener is also provided with a toggle part.

[0009] As a further optional solution, the enclosure includes a base plate, a surrounding plate disposed around the base plate, a support plate extending horizontally outward from the upper edge of the surrounding plate, and a protective plate disposed around the support plate; the support plate is used to support the bottom of the transmitter, the protective plate surrounds the periphery of the bottom of the transmitter, and the storage cavity is formed between the base plate and the surrounding plate.

[0010] As a further optional solution, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs are provided between the outer side of the enclosure and the bottom of the support plate.

[0011] As a further optional solution, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs are provided between the top of the base plate and the inner side of the enclosure.

[0012] As a further optional solution, a sealing rubber gasket is provided on the top of the support plate. When the fastener is snapped into place with the transmitter, a compression fit is formed between the bottom of the transmitter and the sealing rubber gasket, so as to form a sealed connection between the transmitter and the support plate.

[0013] As a further optional feature, the bottom of the base plate is provided with a cushioning pad.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the pipeline detector protective cover of this application has at least the following advantages:

[0015] The protective cover can be installed at the bottom of the transmitter, and its storage compartment can neatly store pipeline components such as straight-through cables. This prevents pipeline components from scattering or becoming tangled during transport and storage, making the entire pipeline detector kit more compact and organized, and convenient for users to carry and operate. Centralizing pipeline components within the protective cover's storage compartment allows users to quickly locate the required components, reducing search time and improving the continuity and smoothness of the work. At the same time, centralized storage also facilitates unified management and maintenance of components, making it easy to check the quantity and condition of components and ensuring the smooth progress of detection work.

[0016] The protective cover provides a robust physical barrier for pipeline components, effectively preventing external impacts, pressure, and scratches. During outdoor operations, when equipment is accidentally dropped or subjected to external impact, the protective cover can cushion the impact, reducing damage to pipeline components and protecting their integrity and functionality.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0029] refer to Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model shows a protective cover for a pipeline detector, which is disposed at the bottom of a transmitter 100 and includes a cover body 1. The cover body 1 has a storage cavity 11 and an opening disposed at its top. The opening of the cover body 1 corresponds to the bottom of the transmitter 100. The cover body 1 is provided with a fastener 2 for snap-fit ​​connection with the transmitter 100.

[0030] The protective cover can be installed at the bottom of the transmitter 100, and its storage cavity 11 can reasonably store pipeline components such as straight-through cables, preventing them from being scattered or tangled during transport and storage. This makes the entire pipeline detector kit more compact and orderly, facilitating user carrying and operation. Centralized storage of pipeline components within the protective cover's storage cavity 11 allows users to quickly locate the required components, reducing search time and improving the continuity and smoothness of the work. Simultaneously, centralized storage also facilitates unified management and maintenance of components, making it easy to check the quantity and condition of components and ensuring the smooth progress of detection work.

[0031] The protective cover 1 provides a robust physical barrier for the pipeline components, effectively preventing external impacts, pressure, and scratches. During outdoor operations, when equipment is accidentally dropped or subjected to external impact, the protective cover can cushion the impact, reduce damage to the pipeline components, and protect the integrity and functionality of the components.

[0032] The cover 1 is connected to the transmitter 100 by a fastener 2, which allows for quick disassembly and retrieval of pipeline components without tools.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first end of the fastener 2 is provided with a hinge portion 21, which is hinged to the cover 1; the second end of the fastener 2 is provided with a hook portion 22, which is used to fasten the transmitter 100; an arc-shaped connecting portion 23 is integrally connected between the hinge portion 21 and the hook portion 22.

[0034] Among them, the arc-shaped connecting part 23 has a certain degree of elasticity, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmitter 100 has a latching part 110 on its outer casing for the hook 22 to engage. When engaging, the arc-shaped connecting part 23 can be pressed to move the hook 22 away from the hinge part 21, so that the hook 22 moves upward and passes over the latching part 110. Then, after releasing the arc-shaped connecting part 23, the arc-shaped connecting part 23 returns to its original position, so that the hook 22 engages with the latching part 110.

[0035] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second end of the fastener 2 is also provided with a toggle part 24. Thus, during operation, in addition to pressing the arc-shaped connecting part 23, the toggle part 24 can also be toggled to make the hook part 22 flip up, making it easier for the hook part 22 to fasten or disengage from the latch part 110 of the transmitter 100.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover 1 includes a base plate 12, a surrounding plate 13 disposed around the base plate 12, a support plate 14 extending horizontally outward from the upper edge of the surrounding plate 13, and a protective plate 15 disposed around the supporting plate 14; the support plate 14 is used to support the bottom of the transmitter 100, the protective plate 15 surrounds the periphery of the bottom of the transmitter 100, and the storage cavity 11 is formed between the base plate 12 and the surrounding plate 13.

[0037] The support plate 14 and the protective plate 15 can achieve vertical positioning with the bottom of the transmitter 100, which can ensure that the cover 1 and the transmitter 100 will not move relative to each other in the lateral direction. At the same time, the fastener 2 is used to achieve vertical fixation between the cover 1 and the transmitter 100, ensuring that the cover 1 and the transmitter 100 are firmly connected.

[0038] In this embodiment, there are two fasteners 2, which are fastened to both sides of the transmitter 100 respectively; the outer wall contour of the bottom structure of the transmitter 100 corresponds to the inner wall contour of the protective plate 15 of the cover 1.

[0039] In some embodiments, to enhance the structural strength of the cover 1, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 16 are provided between the outer side of the enclosure 13 and the bottom of the support plate 14. A plurality of second reinforcing ribs 17 are provided between the top of the bottom plate 12 and the inner side of the enclosure 13.

[0040] In some embodiments, to improve the protection of pipeline components in harsh environments, a sealing rubber gasket (not shown) can be provided on the top of the support plate 14. When the fastener 2 is snapped into the transmitter 100, a compression fit is formed between the bottom of the transmitter 100 and the sealing rubber gasket, so that a sealed connection is formed between the transmitter 100 and the support plate 14.

[0041] In this way, in environments such as wind and sandstorms or heavy rain, it can effectively prevent wind and sand or rainwater from entering the storage cavity 11, and prevent the components from getting damp, rusting or short-circuiting.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a buffer pad 18 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 12. Thus, the buffer pad 18 is made of rubber, which can improve the placement stability of the protective cover and prevent slippage.

[0043] In summary, this application provides a protective cover for a pipeline detector. This cover can be installed at the bottom of the transmitter 100, and its storage cavity 11 can reasonably accommodate pipeline components such as straight-through cables, preventing them from scattering or becoming tangled during transport and storage. This makes the entire pipeline detector kit more compact and organized, facilitating user carrying and operation. Centralized storage of pipeline components within the storage cavity 11 of the protective cover allows users to quickly locate the required components, reducing search time and improving the continuity and smoothness of work. Simultaneously, centralized storage also facilitates unified management and maintenance of components, making it easy to check the quantity and condition of components and ensuring the smooth progress of detection work.

[0044] The protective cover 1 provides a robust physical barrier for the pipeline components, effectively preventing external impacts, pressure, and scratches. During outdoor operations, when equipment is accidentally dropped or subjected to external impact, the protective cover can cushion the impact, reduce damage to the pipeline components, and protect the integrity and functionality of the components.

[0045] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
