Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas pipeline detection technology, specifically a gas leak metering and detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Gas is an essential commodity in people's lives. It mainly includes natural gas, manufactured gas, and liquefied petroleum gas for residential and industrial use. Household natural gas is usually connected through pipelines. However, after long-term use, the sealing rings may corrode and break, requiring maintenance personnel to conduct regular inspections. Natural gas has an odor. Excessive leaks can be detected by human senses, but small gas leaks are difficult to detect.

[0003] For example, a gas leak metering and detection device with authorization announcement number CN214467935U includes a gas pipe, a valve body movably connected to the inner cavity of the gas pipe, a handle on the top of the valve body, sealing rings at the junctions of the valve body with the inner and outer walls of the gas pipe, a flow port in the inner cavity of the gas pipe, and a PVC pipe on the left side of the valve body. However, this document still has shortcomings. During use, since the main component of natural gas is hydrocarbons, which are insoluble in water, the gas pressure will compress the aqueous solution on the right, causing the water level on the left to rise. When the aqueous solution becomes unbalanced, the water level on the left will rise. The device lifts a thin plate, which in turn lifts a linkage rod. A measuring plate is mounted on the top of the linkage rod, and the outer ring of the measuring plate is tangent to the sensor. The sensor can accurately obtain the position of the rising measuring plate and the corresponding scale reading, thereby accurately detecting leaking gas and enabling timely maintenance of the pipeline to prevent accidents caused by gas leaks. However, the detection device described in the above document can only detect at a fixed position on the gas pipe, making it inconvenient to detect different positions on the gas pipe according to actual usage needs. In addition, the detection mechanism in the above document is fixed in position, making it inconvenient to disassemble and repair the detection mechanism when it malfunctions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of inconvenience in detecting different locations of gas pipes according to actual usage needs, and to propose a gas leak metering and detection device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A gas leak metering and detection device is designed, including a gas pipe and a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is disposed above the gas pipe. A fixing mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the gas pipe. A first connector is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe. The first connector is clearance-fitted with the outer wall of a second cylinder. The end of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the second connector. The outer wall of the second connector is in contact with the first connector. A connecting mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the second connector.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a rubber pad that fits against the outer wall of the gas pipe. The rubber pad has a through hole inside and is fixed to the inner wall of the semi-circular ring. The upper semi-circular ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the connecting pipe. An ear plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the semi-circular ring. The through hole in the ear plate is clearance-fitted with the outer wall of the screw. A nut is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw.

The outer wall of the wedge block is in contact with a support rod. The outer wall of the support rod is slidably connected to the first connector. A second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod. Both ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the first connector and the support rod, respectively. The end of the support rod is engaged with a slot provided inside the second cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the second connector is fixedly connected to one end of the bend, and the interior of the bend contains an aqueous solution.

[0010] Preferably, a floating plate floats above the aqueous solution, and the outer wall of the floating plate is fitted with the bend in the tube.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected above the floating plate, the outer wall of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the bent pipe and the housing, and a sensor is fixedly installed inside the housing.

[0012] Preferably, a measuring plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod, and the housing is fixedly connected to the bent pipe via a vertical rod.

[0013] Preferably, the gas pipe has a valve body inside and an automatic pressure reducing valve on its outer wall.

[0014] The gas leak metering and detection device proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: Through the cooperation of a rubber pad, through-hole, semi-circular ring, ear plate, screw, nut, and bolt, the upper semi-circular ring is fastened to the top of the gas pipe, and the lower semi-circular ring is fastened to the bottom of the gas pipe, with the two semi-circular rings facing each other. The position of the through-hole corresponds to the location of corrosion and wear on the gas pipe. At this time, the upper and lower ear plates are in contact. The screw passes through the through-hole in the two ear plates, and the screw, nut, and bolt connect and fix the upper and lower ear plates.

The end of the support rod separates from the slot provided in the second cylinder, pulling the bend. The second cylinder separates from the first connector, allowing the detection mechanism to be disassembled for maintenance. After maintenance, the second cylinder is inserted into the interior of the first connector. The first cylinder is released, and the first spring, under its elastic action, drives the wedge block to move in the opposite direction. The wedge block drives the support rod to slide in the opposite direction, and the support rod compresses the second spring. The end of the support rod is inserted into the slot provided in the second cylinder, securing the second cylinder inside the first connector. The positions of the first and second connectors are relatively fixed, completing the installation of the detection mechanism. This facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the detection mechanism in case of malfunction. Attached Figure Description

In case of failure of the detection mechanism, it is convenient to disassemble and repair the detection mechanism.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When using a gas leak metering and detection device to perform leak metering and detection on gas pipe 1;

[0031] Installation phase of the testing agency:

[0032] When corrosion and wear occur at a certain point on gas pipe 1, and it is necessary to detect whether a gas leak has occurred at the location of the corrosion and wear, the upper semicircular ring 303 is fastened to the top of gas pipe 1, and the lower semicircular ring 303 is fastened to the bottom of gas pipe 1, with the two semicircular rings 303 facing each other and the position of the through hole 302 corresponding to the location of corrosion and wear on gas pipe 1. At this time, the upper and lower ear plates 304 are in contact. The screw 305 is passed through the through hole in the two ear plates 304, and the nut 306 is rotated, so that the screw 305 is screwed into the nut 307. Inside, screw 305, nut 306 and nut 307 connect and fix the upper and lower ear plates 304. Both semicircular rings 303 are fixed to the outer wall of the gas pipe 1. The upper semicircular ring 303 fixes the position of the connecting pipe 2, thereby fixing the position of the detection mechanism. Rubber gasket 301 increases the sealing between the gas pipe 1 and the semicircular ring 303. The fixing mechanism 3 can fix the detection mechanism at the required position on the outer wall of the gas pipe 1 according to actual use needs, which is convenient for detecting different positions of the gas pipe according to actual use needs.

[0033] Testing phase:

[0034] When a leak occurs inside the gas pipe 1, the leaked gas enters the interior of the connecting pipe 2 through the through hole 302, and then enters the interior of the bend pipe 8 through the first connector 5, the second cylinder 6, and the second connector 7. An aqueous solution 9 is provided in the inner cavity of the bend pipe 8. Since the main component of natural gas is hydrocarbons, which are insoluble in water, the gas pressure will squeeze the aqueous solution 9 on the right side, causing the water level on the left side to rise. When the water solution 9 is out of balance, the water level on the left side rises, lifting the floating plate 10. The floating plate 10 drives the connecting rod to move upward. A metering plate 12 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod. The outer ring of the metering plate 12 is tangent to the sensor 14. The sensor 14 can accurately obtain the rising position of the metering plate and the corresponding scale value, thereby accurately detecting the leaked gas and timely maintaining the gas pipe 1 to avoid accidents caused by gas leaks.

[0035] Disassembly and repair phase of the testing agency:

[0036] When the testing mechanism malfunctions and needs to be disassembled and repaired, the first cylinder 402 is pulled towards the bend 8. The first cylinder 402 drives the wedge block 403 to move, separating the wedge block 403 from the support rod 405 and compressing the first spring 404. The wedge block 403 no longer compresses the support rod 405, and the second spring 406 drives the support rod 405 to slide. The end of the support rod 405 separates from the groove provided inside the second cylinder 6. The bend 8 is pulled, and the second cylinder 6 separates from the first connector 5, allowing the testing mechanism to be disassembled for repair. After the repair is completed, the first... The two cylinders 6 are inserted into the interior of the first connector 5. The first cylinder 402 is released, and the first spring 404 drives the wedge block 403 to move in the opposite direction under the elastic action. The wedge block 403 drives the support rod 405 to slide in the opposite direction. The support rod 405 compresses the second spring 406 and the end of the support rod 405 is inserted into the slot provided in the second cylinder 6, which clamps and fixes the second cylinder 6 inside the first connector 5. The positions of the first connector 5 and the second connector 7 are relatively fixed, completing the installation of the detection mechanism. In case of failure of the detection mechanism, it is convenient to disassemble and repair the detection mechanism.
