Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acoustic logging pipe docking technology, specifically to acoustic logging pipe docking and sealing installation clamps. Background Technology

[0002] Sonic logging tubes are crucial for inspecting the integrity of foundation piles in building engineering, primarily used for ultrasonic transmission testing of pile foundation quality. In large-scale projects such as bridges and high-rise buildings, pile foundations are considered concealed works, and their quality directly impacts the overall structural safety. Sonic logging tubes are typically embedded inside the pile. During testing, an ultrasonic probe transmits and receives ultrasonic signals through coupling water within the tube to determine the density and defects of the pile concrete. As project scale increases, the connection technology of sonic logging tubes becomes particularly critical. Reliable connection ensures unobstructed testing channels, stable ultrasonic signal transmission, and provides accurate data for pile foundation quality assessment.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods are mostly used for connecting sonic logging pipes. The connection structure is prone to loosening, resulting in poor sealing and affecting the accuracy of the test data. In addition, the connection structure lacks an effective locking device, which poses a risk of displacement of the connected parts during use, affecting the overall stability and service life of the sonic logging pipe. In view of this, we propose a sonic logging pipe connection and sealing installation clamp. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamp for connecting and sealing sonic logging pipes, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A sonic logging pipe docking and sealing installation clamp includes a sonic logging pipe body. Two sonic logging pipe bodies are docked and sealed at the docking point using a docking clamp mechanism. The docking clamp mechanism includes a docking component for docking the two sonic logging pipe bodies and a locking component for abutting and fixing the docking component to the sonic logging pipe body. The docking component includes a sleeve with a through hole in the middle. Both ends of the sleeve are provided with threaded tapered sleeves. The edges of the openings on both sides of the through hole on the sleeve are provided with docking sleeves. The end of the sonic logging pipe body is sleeved on the outside of the docking sleeve and is clamped inside by the threaded tapered sleeve and the docking sleeve. A sealing ring is embedded in the inner wall of the threaded tapered sleeve. The sealing ring is squeezed by the threaded tapered sleeve and the sonic logging pipe body. The locking component is sleeved on the outside of the threaded tapered sleeve and threadedly connected to the threaded tapered sleeve. The threaded tapered sleeve has several through slots, which divide the threaded tapered sleeve into multiple independent protruding structures.

[0007] Preferably, the outer peripheral surface of the end of the acoustic tube body is provided with an outwardly protruding positioning ring, and the inner wall of the threaded tapered sleeve is provided with a positioning ring groove. When the acoustic tube body is inserted into the outside of the docking sleeve and abuts against the sleeve post, the positioning ring extends into the positioning ring groove.

[0008] In this configuration, the positioning protrusion and the positioning ring groove work together to accurately determine the insertion position of the acoustic tube, improving the accuracy and stability of the connection.

[0009] Preferably, the inner ring of the sealing ring is provided with guide bevels at both the top and bottom edges, and the guide bevels are used to guide the acoustic tube body when it is fitted into the outside of the docking sleeve and moves toward the sleeve post;

[0010] In this setting, the guide bevel reduces obstruction when inserting the acoustic logging tube, making the installation process smoother.

[0011] Preferably, a concave annular cavity is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the docking sleeve, and a sealing ring is sleeved in the annular cavity. When the acoustic logging tube is sleeved on the outside of the docking sleeve, the sealing ring is in a squeezed state between the acoustic logging tube and the docking sleeve.

[0012] In this configuration, the sealing ring fills the gap after being compressed, enhancing the sealing performance between the acoustic logging tube and the mating sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a handle with a tapered threaded hole therein, and the handle is threadedly connected to the threaded tapered sleeve through the threaded hole;

[0014] In this setup, by rotating the handle, the threaded tapered sleeve can apply a clamping force to the acoustic logging tube body, achieving a firm connection between the two.

[0015] Preferably, a locking mechanism is provided on the outer side of the docking clamp mechanism, the locking mechanism being used to lock the positions of the two locking components on the docking clamp mechanism;

[0016] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a pair of annular abutments and a plurality of fixing rods connected between the two abutments, the abutments abutting against the outer end of the locking assembly;

[0017] In both of these configurations, the locking mechanism's stop plate and fixing rod work together to provide a constraint base for the locking assembly, preventing it from loosening or shifting.

[0018] Preferably, both ends of the fixing rod are threaded and the abutment plate is threaded through and connected to a locking nut. By tightening the locking nuts at both ends of the fixing rod, the two abutment plates can apply a compressive force to the two locking components, thereby locking the locking components in position on the mating components.

[0019] In this setting, tightening the locking nut causes the abutment to press against the locking assembly, limiting its range of motion and preventing the locking assembly from loosening.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. The sonic logging pipe docking and sealing installation clamp, through the cooperation of the docking components, locking components and locking mechanism, allows the sonic logging pipe body to be docked by fitting it on the docking sleeve, which can make the docking neat. The sealing ring and sealing ring can effectively prevent leakage, and achieve the purpose of aligning and sealing the connection part of the sonic logging pipe body.

[0022] 2. The sonic logging pipe is fitted with a sealing clamp. The locking mechanism can fix the position of the locking components, prevent the mating parts from loosening or shifting, and ensure the stability and sealing of the sonic logging pipe during use. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0035] Please see Figures 1-6 The sonic logging pipe docking and sealing installation clamp includes a sonic logging pipe body 100. Two sonic logging pipe bodies 100 are docked and sealed at the docking point using a docking clamp mechanism 200. The docking clamp mechanism 200 includes a docking component 210 for docking the two sonic logging pipe bodies 100 and a locking component 220 for abutting and fixing the docking component 210 to the sonic logging pipe body 100. The docking and fixing between the sonic logging pipe bodies 100 is achieved through the cooperation of the docking component 210 and the locking component 220.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this utility model, the docking assembly 210 includes a sleeve 211 with a through hole in the middle. Both ends of the sleeve 211 are provided with threaded tapered sleeves 212. The threaded tapered sleeves 212 have several through slots 2123, which divide the threaded tapered sleeves 212 into multiple independent protruding structures. The locking assembly 220 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded tapered sleeves 212 and threadedly connected to them. The locking assembly 220 includes a handle 221 with a tapered threaded hole 222. The handle 221 is threaded to the threaded tapered sleeves 212 through the threaded hole 222. The through slots 2123 of the threaded tapered sleeves 212 allow them to deform when threadedly connected to the handle 221, achieving a tight fit against the acoustic logging tube 100. The sleeve 211 provides the mounting base for each component.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, specifically, a sealing ring 2122 is embedded in the inner wall of the threaded tapered sleeve 212. The sealing ring 2122 is compressed by the threaded tapered sleeve 212 and the sonic logging tube 100. Guide bevels 2124 are provided at both the top and bottom edges of the inner ring of the sealing ring 2122. The guide bevels 2124 guide the sonic logging tube 100 as it is inserted into the outer side of the mating sleeve 213 and moves towards the sleeve post 211. The sealing ring 2122 fills the gap under compression, achieving a sealing effect. The guide bevels 2124 reduce the resistance when the sonic logging tube 100 is inserted, facilitating installation.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, a mating sleeve 213 is provided at the top and bottom edges of the through hole on the sleeve 211. The end of the acoustic logging tube 100 is sleeved on the outside of the mating sleeve 213 and is clamped inside by the threaded tapered sleeve 212 and the mating sleeve 213. The mating sleeve 213 provides insertion positioning for the acoustic logging tube 100 and forms a stable clamping structure with the threaded tapered sleeve 212.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a concave annular cavity 2131 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the docking sleeve 213. A sealing ring 2132 is fitted in the annular cavity 2131. When the acoustic logging tube 100 is fitted onto the outside of the docking sleeve 213, the sealing ring 2132 is compressed between the acoustic logging tube 100 and the docking sleeve 213. The sealing ring 2132 further enhances the sealing performance at the connection between the acoustic logging tube 100 and the docking sleeve 213 under the compressed state.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the outer peripheral surface of the end of the acoustic logging tube 100 is provided with an outwardly protruding positioning ring 110, and the inner wall of the threaded tapered sleeve 212 is provided with a positioning ring groove 2121. When the acoustic logging tube 100 is inserted into the outside of the mating sleeve 213 and abuts against the sleeve post 211, the positioning ring 110 extends into the positioning ring groove 2121. The positioning ring 110 and the positioning ring groove 2121 cooperate to accurately position the insertion depth of the acoustic logging tube 100 and improve the stability of the connection.

[0041] In this embodiment, when using the sonic logging pipe docking and sealing installation clamp, firstly, align the end of the sonic logging pipe body 100 with the docking sleeve 213, and guide the insertion using the guide bevel 2124 of the sealing ring 2122, so that the positioning protrusion 110 is embedded in the positioning ring groove 2121; then, thread the handle 221 through the threaded hole 222 to the threaded tapered sleeve 212. By tightening the handle 221, the threaded tapered sleeve 212 will deform through the through gap 2123 under the action of the tapered thread, thereby squeezing the sealing ring 2122 and pressing it against the sonic logging pipe body 100; finally, the docking and sealing of the two sonic logging pipe bodies 100 is completed. At this time, the sonic logging pipe body 100 and the docking sleeve 213 squeeze the sealing ring 2132, enhancing the sealing effect. Example

[0042] To prevent the clamping mechanism 200 from loosening or shifting after the two acoustic logging tubes 100 are connected, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a locking mechanism 300 is sleeved on the outer side of the docking clamp mechanism 200. The locking mechanism 300 is used to lock the positions of the two locking components 220 on the docking clamp mechanism 200. The locking mechanism 300 includes a pair of annular abutments 310 and a number of fixing rods 320 connected between the two abutments 310. The abutments 310 abut against the outer end of the locking components 220.

[0043] Specifically, both ends of the fixing rod 320 are threaded, and the abutment plate 310 passes through it and is threadedly connected to a locking nut 330. By tightening the locking nuts 330 at both ends of the fixing rod 320, the two abutment plates 310 can exert a compressive force on the two locking components 220, thereby locking the locking components 220 on the docking component 210. When the locking nuts 330 are tightened, the abutment plates 310 compress the locking components 220, restricting their movement and ensuring the overall stability of the docking clamp mechanism 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, when using the sonic logging pipe docking and sealing installation clamp, firstly, the docking and sealing steps of the two sonic logging pipe bodies 100 are completed; then, the abutment plate 310 of the locking mechanism 300 is aligned with the outer end of the locking assembly 220 and put on, so that the fixing rod 320 passes through the abutment plate 310; next, the locking nuts 330 are screwed on both ends of the fixing rod 320 and gradually tightened, so that the two abutment plates 310 press against the locking assembly 220; finally, the position of the docking clamp mechanism 200 is locked to prevent the locking assembly 220 from loosening.

[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
