Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drive device technology, specifically to an expansion tube feeding and powder spreading device. Background Technology

[0002] With the global development of oil and gas extraction and transportation to highly corrosive environments such as oceans and deep wells, the high levels of corrosive substances such as CO2 and H2S in oil and gas fields often lead to significant economic losses and accidents due to pipeline corrosion. These problems include: 1) severe scaling and corrosion in water injection well tubing; 2) corrosion, scaling, and perforation in surface pipelines; 3) uneven wear and corrosion of downhole pipes, resulting in the scrapping of a large number of pipes; and 4) the inability of existing lined and coated pipes to withstand high temperatures, leaving corrosion and uneven wear in deep well sections unresolved. Therefore, improving the corrosion resistance of steel pipes is one of the most important research topics in the current steel pipe industry.

[0003] Bimetallic composite pipes are one of the safest and most economical ways to solve the corrosion problem of oil and gas pipelines. They consist of two different metal pipes: one inner layer primarily resists corrosion, while the other outer layer provides strength support. The pipe layers are tightly bonded together using various deformation and connection techniques. Bimetallic composite pipes maximize the complementary advantages of materials, saving alloying elements and reducing engineering costs. While maintaining the performance of the original base pipe, they improve the pipeline's corrosion resistance and wear resistance, extending its service life. They are a substitute for pure stainless steel pipes, copper pipes, or other corrosion-resistant alloy pipes.

[0004] Commonly used manufacturing methods include: cold forming, hot rolling, hot extrusion composite method, combined bimetallic hydraulic composite method, centrifugal casting or centrifugal aluminothermic method, explosive welding composite method, composite plate welding method, powder metallurgy method, spray forming method, surfacing welding method, laser cladding method, etc. These manufacturing processes all have their own shortcomings, such as complex procedures and low efficiency, or the products produced have defects such as stress, pinholes, and pores.

[0005] To address this issue, a hydraulic expansion process for manufacturing stainless steel-lined bimetallic composite pipes was developed. This process utilizes a pressurization system with multiple elastic expansion bags to simultaneously expand and pressurize multiple composite pipes, causing the stainless steel lining pipe to expand and form a tight bond with the outer base pipe, resulting in a novel composite pipe. This process solves the problems of low efficiency and defects such as stress, pinholes, and bubbles found in existing bimetallic composite pipe manufacturing processes.

[0006] As existing devices are used, the shortcomings of this technology have gradually become apparent, mainly in the following aspects:

[0007] First, existing expansion tubes can only expand and pressurize a single inner steel liner, reducing the production efficiency of bimetallic composite pipes.

[0008] Secondly, before the expansion tube expands and pressurizes the inner steel pipe, it is necessary to coat the surface of the expansion tube with talcum powder to facilitate the separation and demolding of the expansion tube and the inner steel pipe in the later stage. Currently, the talcum powder is applied to the surface of the expansion tube manually, which is inefficient.

[0009] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an expansion tube feeding and powdering device to solve the problems of traditional expansion tubes being able to only expand and pressurize a single inner steel liner, thus reducing the production efficiency of bimetallic composite pipes; and the need to coat the surface of the expansion tube with talcum powder before expanding and pressing the inner steel liner to facilitate the later separation and demolding of the expansion tube and the inner steel liner, which is currently done manually, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0012] An expansion tube feeding powder spreading device includes a platform with a longitudinally slidable feeding platform. A laterally extending liquid distribution chamber is fixedly connected to the feeding platform. Several hydraulic expansion tubes, communicating with the liquid distribution chamber, are fixedly connected side-by-side to the liquid distribution chamber, and the hydraulic expansion tubes extend longitudinally.

[0013] A powder-spreading box is fixedly connected to the other end of the platform near the hydraulic expansion tube. The powder-spreading box is located above the hydraulic expansion tube, and the bottom of the powder-spreading box has a powder-dropping hole that is opposite to the position of each hydraulic expansion tube.

[0014] As an optimized solution, the platform is provided with a number of support wheels arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction for each of the hydraulic expansion tubes, and the lower surface of the hydraulic expansion tubes is in frictional contact with the support wheels.

[0015] As an optimized solution, the longitudinal section of the powder-spreading box is funnel-shaped, and the upper end of the powder-spreading box is open.

[0016] As an optimized solution, the lower end of the powder-spreading box is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped bottom shell, and the powder-falling hole is opened on the arc-shaped bottom shell.

[0017] As an optimized solution, a rotating shaft arranged in a horizontal direction is rotatably installed inside the powder dispensing box. The peripheral wall of the rotating shaft is surrounded by material-dispensing blades, and the outer end of the material-dispensing blades is in frictional contact with the inner bottom surface of the arc-shaped bottom shell.

[0018] As an optimized solution, the support wheel has a V-shaped annular guide groove on its wheel wall.

[0019] As an optimized solution, the platform is provided with two longitudinally extending guide rails in parallel, and the feed platform is slidably supported on the guide rails by guide seats.

[0021] As an optimized solution, both ends of the powder-spreading box are fixed to the platform via side frames.

[0022] As an optimized solution, the platform is provided with a powder collection shell located below the powder dispensing box, and the upper end of the powder collection shell is open.

[0023] As an optimized solution, the liquid distribution chamber is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed platform, and a hydraulic booster system connected to the liquid distribution chamber is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed platform.

[0024] As an optimized solution, a motor for driving the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the outer end wall of the liquid distribution chamber shell.

[0026] By setting up a liquid distribution chamber and fixing several hydraulic expansion tubes in parallel on the liquid distribution chamber, it is possible to fill several hydraulic expansion tubes with liquid at the same time. The liquid distribution chamber is driven to move by the feed platform, which can drive several hydraulic expansion tubes at the same time. This enables several inner steel pipes to be expanded and pressurized at the same time, improving the production efficiency of bimetallic composite pipes.

[0027] By setting up a powder-spreading box on the platform, which is located near the end of the hydraulic expansion tube, the powder-spreading box can automatically spread powder onto the surface of the hydraulic expansion tube during the feeding process. The bottom of the heat dissipation box has powder-spreading holes corresponding to each hydraulic expansion tube, which can make the talcum powder fall accurately onto the hydraulic expansion tube through the powder-falling holes, reducing the amount of talcum powder used.
