Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline inspection, and in particular to an installation device for a pipeline leak detection body. Background Technology

[0002] Steel mills, aluminum plants, heating plants, and power plants all contain high-temperature, high-pressure boiler pipelines and pressurized gas pipelines. As these pipelines age and are corroded and eroded by external gases and dust, leaks can occur. These leaks directly impact the safety and stability of the boilers, causing serious damage. In particular, for heating companies, pipeline leaks result in a significant loss of hot water daily, greatly wasting heat and water resources and increasing costs.

[0003] Existing pipeline leak detection systems typically employ distributed fiber optic temperature measurement to detect leaks. This method involves laying optical fibers along the pipeline's axial direction before the pipeline is pre-buried, with each fiber secured to the pipeline by multiple binding ropes. The pipeline with the fiber optic cable is then buried underground. When the fiber optic cable detects that the liquid near the pipeline is above zero degrees Celsius, it transmits the leak signal to a host computer via a fiber optic analyzer, triggering an alarm. However, this method has several drawbacks: it can only be installed before laying entirely new pipelines, and the installation process is lengthy. Furthermore, heating pipelines are often segmented, requiring each segment to be connected to a separate fiber optic analyzer, leading to high costs. Additionally, if water from other domestic water pipes flows into the pipeline underground, the signal collected by the fiber optic temperature measurement cable may be inaccurate, indicating that this detection method is highly susceptible to external environmental factors, resulting in significant resource waste.

[0004] To address this, existing research has developed a device that can be installed at intervals on pipelines to detect multiple leaks. This method involves placing the detection unit between pipelines, extending downwards so that the detection module directly contacts the liquid, and then measuring the pressure of the liquid in the nearby pipelines. If a leak is detected, the detection unit sends an alarm to the central control room, allowing for accurate identification of the leak point. While this detection method is accurate and unaffected by external environmental factors, it is limited to adding detection units to new pipelines before installation. It cannot be modified for existing pipelines. Furthermore, if the detection unit is damaged or malfunctions, it cannot be replaced or repaired, reducing its practicality and reliability.
