Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drainage pipe leakage detection technology, specifically a drainage pipe leakage detection device. Background Technology
[0002] As a core facility in building and municipal engineering, drainage pipes are mostly made of materials such as cast iron, PVC, and HDPE and are responsible for the discharge of rainwater and sewage. However, drainage pipes often leak due to disrepair over the years. Pipe leaks are mainly caused by aging and corrosion, foundation settlement, mechanical external force or failure of connection seals, water seepage erosion of building structures, pollution of soil and groundwater, and the growth of bacteria and the emission of odors, which threaten public health and safety and the durability of facilities.
[0003] Existing detection methods (such as visual inspection and segmented water pressure testing) require partial shutdown of the system and disassembly of the pipeline. Leakage points are identified by manual entry or equipment endoscopy. The operation process is highly destructive, time-consuming, and cannot cover hidden parts (such as buried pipe sections). At the same time, static detection is difficult to simulate dynamic drainage conditions and cannot accurately locate micro-leakage or crack propagation risks, leaving room for improvement.

A water inlet tank and a water return tank are fixedly installed on one side of the base, and a walking mechanism is provided on the side of the base away from the water inlet tank and the water return tank. The water inlet tank and the water return tank are both connected to the venting chamber through pipe openings.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, further comprising a sealing ring, wherein the venting chamber is disposed at the center of the detection ring, and the sealing ring is fixedly installed at the edge of the venting chamber.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, wherein a traveling roller is rotatably connected inside the base, a sprocket is fixedly connected to one end of the traveling roller passing through the base, and a chain is sleeved on the outside of the sprocket.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, further comprising a ball screw nut assembly, the ball screw nut assembly comprising a screw and a nut, the nut being movably connected to the screw, the screw being rotatably connected to the base, and a detection ring being fixedly connected to the nut.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, which also includes a loosening bolt, wherein the two sets of detection rings are connected by the loosening bolt.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, wherein a servo motor is fixedly installed on one side of the base, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a sprocket.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, wherein a sliding rod is fixedly connected to one side of the base, a sliding seat is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod, and a set of detection rings is fixedly connected to the sliding seat.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drainage pipe leakage detection device, which further includes corrugated pipes, one end of one set of corrugated pipes is fixedly connected to a water inlet tank and the other end is fixedly connected to a pipe opening, one end of another set of corrugated pipes is fixedly connected to a water return tank and the other set is fixedly connected to a pipe opening, and a gas sensor is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the water return tank.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:
[0014] Since the two sets of detection rings are hinged together, and each set of detection rings has an internal ventilation chamber, a water inlet tank and a water return tank are fixedly installed on one side of the base. A walking mechanism is provided on the side of the base away from the water inlet tank and the water return tank. The water inlet tank and the water return tank are connected to the ventilation chamber through pipe openings.

One end of the other set of corrugated pipes is fixedly connected to the water return tank and the other end is fixedly connected to the pipe opening. A gas sensor is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the water return tank. Therefore, when the detection ring is fitted around the pipe, water can be injected into the ventilation chamber through the water inlet tank along the corrugated pipe and the pipe opening to fill the gap between the pipe and the detection ring with water. If the pipe leaks air, it will enter the water return tank through the pipe opening and the corrugated pipe and then be discharged from the gas sensor. The axial position of cracks or leaks can be effectively monitored without the need for personnel to disassemble the pipe for inspection, making the inspection convenient. Attached Figure Description
