A first arc-shaped plate is integrally formed on the adjacent side of each of the two second plates, with the inner wall of the first arc-shaped plate fitting against the outer wall of the pipeline.

[0003] However, during actual use, the applicant found that the second arc-shaped plate used to compress the carbon fiber cloth could not be replaced, making the device unsuitable for the maintenance of natural gas transmission pipelines of different diameters. In view of this, we propose a maintenance device for natural gas transmission pipelines. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A maintenance device for a natural gas pipeline includes a maintenance frame 1. A stud 2 is threaded through the top of the maintenance frame 1. A first turntable 21 is fixedly fitted onto the upper end of the stud 2, and a connecting seat 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the stud 2. Guide rods 41 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the connecting seat 4, with the upper end of the guide rods 41 movably penetrating the top of the maintenance frame 1. A clamping seat 5 is locked to the bottom of the connecting seat 4 by bolts 43. A T-shaped connecting groove 42 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 4. A T-shaped connecting block 51 is provided on the upper part of the clamping seat 5, and the T-shaped connecting block 51 mates with the T-shaped connecting groove 42. One end of the bolt 43 is threaded into a threaded hole on one side of the connecting seat 4 and inserted into a limiting insertion hole on the side wall of the T-shaped connecting block 51. An arc-shaped iron plate 8 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping seat 5. A carbon fiber cloth 9 is adhered and fixed to the bottom of the arc-shaped iron plate 8. The lower surface of the carbon fiber cloth 9 is coated with epoxy adhesive. A pipe clamping plate 6 is symmetrically slidably connected to the top of the inner side of the maintenance frame 1. A guide groove is opened on the top of the inner side of the maintenance frame 1. A guide slider is provided on the upper part of the pipe clamping plate 6, and the guide slider slides along the guide groove. A claw 61 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the lower part of the pipe clamping plate 6. There are two claws 61 on the inner wall of the pipe clamping plate 6, one above the other. By providing two claws 61 on the inner walls of the two pipe clamping plates 6, the device can be clamped and fixed on natural gas transportation pipelines of different diameters. By disassembling and replacing the clamping seat 5 at the bottom of the connecting seat 4, the carbon fiber can be... The cloth 9 is tightly pressed against natural gas transportation pipelines of different diameters, thus enabling the device to be used for the maintenance of natural gas transportation pipelines of different diameters. Double-ended screws 3 are rotatably connected to the maintenance frame 1 on both sides of the stud 2 via bearings. The threads at both ends of the double-ended screws 3 have opposite directions, and the threads at both ends of the double-ended screws 3 respectively penetrate the upper part of the two pipe clamping plates 6. A drive box 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the maintenance frame 1. One end of each of the two double-ended screws 3 extends into the drive box 7 and is fitted with a driven gear 73. A rotating shaft 71 is rotatably connected to the drive box 7 between the two double-ended screws 3 via bearings. A driving gear 72 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 71, and both driven gears 73 are meshed with the driving gear 72. One end extends to the outside of the drive box 7 and is fitted with a second turntable 711. When maintaining a leak in a natural gas pipeline, a suitable clamping seat 5 can be selected according to the pipe diameter. The T-shaped connecting block 51 on the upper part of the clamping seat 5 is slid into the T-shaped connecting groove 42. Then, the bolt 43 is tightened to limit and fix the T-shaped connecting block 51 in the guide rod 41, thus completing the fixation of the clamping seat 5. Next, the carbon fiber cloth 9 is fixed to the bottom of the arc-shaped iron plate 8 using epoxy adhesive. Then, the surface of the pipeline to be repaired is derusted and coated with resin to fill the surface of the pipeline. The lower surface of the carbon fiber cloth 9 is coated with epoxy adhesive, and the maintenance frame 1 is put on the pipeline. Then, the position of the clamping seat 5 is adjusted so that the carbon fiber cloth 9 is facing the position to be repaired.Next, manually rotate the second turntable 711 clockwise to rotate the shaft 71. The rotation of the shaft 71 drives the drive gear 72, which in turn drives the two driven gears 73 along with the two double-ended screws 3. The rotation of the two double-ended screws 3 causes the two pipe clamping plates 6 to move closer together, making the claws 61 abut against the outer wall of the pipe. Finally, manually rotate the first turntable 21 clockwise to rotate the stud 2. The rotation of the stud 2 causes the connecting seat 4 along with the clamping seat 5 to move downwards. The clamping seat 5 and the arc-shaped iron plate 8 then press and fix the carbon fiber cloth 9 to the location on the pipe to be repaired, allowing for pipe leak repair without interrupting airflow.

[0023] The curved iron plate 8 is magnetically adsorbed onto the clamping seat 5. A magnet is embedded in the curved surface of the bottom of the clamping seat 5. The curved iron plate 8 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping seat 5 by the magnet. The carbon fiber cloth 9 is fixed to the lower surface of the curved iron plate 8 with epoxy adhesive. The magnetic attraction force of the clamping seat 5 to the curved iron plate 8 is much less than the adhesive attraction force of the carbon fiber cloth 9 to the curved iron plate 8. By fixing the curved iron plate 8 to the bottom of the clamping seat 5 by magnetic adsorption, it is easier for personnel to remove the clamping plate after the carbon fiber cloth 9 is adhered to the pipe. The clamping seat 5 separates from the arc-shaped iron plate 8 without damaging the adhesion. At the same time, by welding the edge of the arc-shaped iron plate 8 to the pipe surface, the repair quality of the pipe leak can be further improved. After the carbon fiber cloth 9 is glued and fixed to the pipe surface, the clamping seat 5 can be moved upward by rotating the stud 2 in the opposite direction, which can separate the clamping seat 5 from the arc-shaped iron plate 8. After the device is removed from the pipe, the edge of the arc-shaped iron plate 8 can be welded and fixed to the pipe surface, which further improves the repair quality of the pipe leak.

[0024] Working Principle: When maintaining a leak in a natural gas pipeline, select a suitable clamping seat 5 according to the pipeline diameter. Slide the T-shaped connecting block 51 on the upper part of the clamping seat 5 into the T-shaped connecting groove 42. Then tighten the bolt 43 to fix the T-shaped connecting block 51 in the guide rod 41, thus fixing the clamping seat 5. Next, use epoxy adhesive to fix the carbon fiber cloth 9 to the bottom of the arc-shaped iron plate 8. Then, remove rust from the surface of the pipeline to be repaired and apply resin to fill the surface. Apply epoxy adhesive to the lower surface of the carbon fiber cloth 9 and place the maintenance frame 1 on the pipeline. Then, adjust the position of the clamping seat 5 so that the carbon fiber cloth 9 is facing the repair location. Then, manually rotate the second turntable 711 clockwise to drive the rotating shaft 71 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 71 drives the drive gear 72 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive gear 72 simultaneously... The two driven gears 73, along with the two double-ended screws 3, rotate together. At this time, the rotation of the two double-ended screws 3 can drive the two pipe clamping plates 6 to move closer synchronously, and make the claws 61 abut against the outer wall of the pipe. Finally, manually rotate the first turntable 21 clockwise to drive the stud 2 to rotate. The rotation of the stud 2 can drive the connecting seat 4 and the clamping seat 5 to move downward together. The carbon fiber cloth 9 is pressed and fixed to the position of the pipe to be repaired by the clamping seat 5 and the arc-shaped iron plate 8. The pipe leak can be repaired without stopping the gas. After the carbon fiber cloth 9 is glued and fixed to the pipe surface, the clamping seat 5 is moved upward by rotating the stud 2 in the opposite direction, which can separate the clamping seat 5 from the arc-shaped iron plate 8. After the device is removed from the pipe, the edge of the arc-shaped iron plate 8 can be welded and fixed to the pipe surface by welding, which further improves the repair quality of the pipe leak.
