Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas pipeline safety monitoring technology, specifically to a gas pipeline autonomous inspection system. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas, as an important clean energy source, is closely related to people's daily lives. While bringing convenience, it also poses significant safety hazards. Due to its flammable, explosive, and toxic properties, leaks can easily trigger fires, explosions, and other catastrophic accidents, causing irreparable loss of life and property. Therefore, to ensure the safety of gas pipeline networks, it is essential to strengthen leak monitoring.

[0003] Currently, domestic gas companies generally use manual inspections to monitor gas pipeline leaks. However, manual inspections typically have the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) Heavy workload, low efficiency, and high labor costs. Statistics show that the average distance between residential buildings in some large cities is only about 20 meters, which greatly increases the number of residences within a community. At the same time, this also means a high concentration of population, especially in bustling city centers where hundreds of people may live per square meter. Therefore, the intensity of comprehensive inspections of these communities is considerable, requiring a wide range of inspections and numerous details. Manual inspections are inefficient in this environment, often requiring a significant amount of time to complete a single comprehensive check. More importantly, the cost of manual inspections also increases due to the large manpower required. According to relevant data, manual inspections alone require millions of yuan annually. Therefore, the density of urban residential communities and the concentration of population not only increase the intensity of comprehensive inspections but also highlight the problems of low efficiency and high cost of manual inspections.

[0005] (2) Limited Inspection Areas and Blind Spots. Due to the difficulty or inaccessibility of certain areas, blind spots may form. Someone might mistakenly use gas pipelines as load-bearing supports or grounding wires, which can damage the pipelines and increase the risk of gas leaks. There is also the issue of enclosing gas risers, which can hinder normal gas supply and maintenance. Due to the limitations of manual inspection, these problems may not be detected and corrected in a timely manner. Utility Model Content
