Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of long-distance natural gas transmission, and in particular relates to a natural gas sampling device for long-distance natural gas pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Utility model patent application number 202222986953.2 discloses a natural gas pipeline with a natural gas sampling device, including a pipeline with a connecting pipe fixedly connected to its top end. A placement plate is fixedly attached to the bottom side of the connecting pipe, and sampling cylinders are placed on top of the placement plate. The sampling cylinders are located around the connecting pipe, and four sampling cylinders can simultaneously collect four natural gas samples, allowing for more samples to be analyzed and improving the accuracy of the analysis. The sampling cylinders are detachably mounted on the placement plate, and the connecting pipe is connected to the sampling cylinders via a gas guide pipe. A piston plate and a sealing gasket are installed inside the sampling cylinder. After sampling, the sampling cylinder is pulled back, the gas guide pipe is removed, and the piston plate is moved upwards to above the connecting pipe, so that the sampled natural gas is placed between the piston plate and the sealing gasket, maintaining a leak-proof seal. The sampling cylinders are easy to install and remove.

[0003] However, when the gas delivery pipe is pulled out of the connecting pipe, the pressure difference between the cylinder and atmospheric pressure will cause natural gas to leak from the connecting pipe. Moreover, pulling the piston plate up to the top of the connecting pipe will further compress the natural gas, causing the leakage to increase. This not only poses a safety hazard but also makes operation inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] One object of this invention is to provide a natural gas sampling device for long-distance natural gas pipelines, and to provide at least the advantages described below.

[0005] Another objective of this invention is to provide a natural gas sampling device for long-distance natural gas pipelines, which avoids the risk of natural gas leakage through multiple protections including a fixed sleeve, a liftable sealing block, a sampling sleeve, a sampling chamber sealing column, a fixed base, a protective cap, and a clamp.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0014] And a clamp, which is set at the joint between the fixed base and the protective cap.

[0015] Preferably, in the natural gas sampling device for long-distance natural gas pipelines,

[0016] The sampling port of the long-distance natural gas pipeline has a connecting pipe, the inner diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the liftable sealing block;

[0017] A lifting cylinder is provided at the top of the protruding middle position of the convex cavity, and the output end of the lifting cylinder is vertically downward and connected to the liftable sealing block.

[0018] A silicone sealing baffle is provided at the lower end of the liftable sealing block.

[0019] Preferably, in the natural gas sampling device for long-distance natural gas pipelines,

[0020] A translation cylinder is provided on each side of the bottom end of the convex cavity, and the output end of the translation cylinder is horizontally positioned and faces the sampling port of the long-distance natural gas pipeline.

[0021] The output end of the translation cylinder is provided with a semi-cylindrical sealing plate with an L-shaped cross section. The two semi-cylindrical sealing plates are joined together and attached to the upper surface of the liftable sealing block.

[0025] Preferably, in the natural gas sampling device for long-distance natural gas pipelines, multiple sealing rings are provided between the clamp, the fixed base, and the sampling sleeve.

[0026] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The liftable sealing block can descend and seal the connecting pipe after sampling is completed. At the same time, the translation cylinder drives the semi-cylindrical sealing plate to dock and seal on the upper surface of the liftable sealing block, so that the long-distance natural gas pipeline is completely sealed.

[0028] After the sampling tube is removed, the sampling chamber is sealed with a sampling chamber sealing column, and then a protective cap is installed and fixed with clamps to make the entire structure more airtight and prevent natural gas leakage.
