Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline treatment technology, and specifically discloses an adjustable pipeline pickling and passivation device. Background Technology
[0002] Pharmaceutical manufacturing plants utilize numerous pipelines for transporting pharmaceutical solutions. After installation, these pipelines undergo acid pickling. The purpose of acid pickling is to remove oxides and oil from the metal pipe surface through chemical action, achieving a shiny metallic surface and ensuring the cleanliness of the pipe's inner wall. Simultaneously, the rust-prevention treatment following acid pickling protects the underlying metal of the pipe wall from further corrosion. Therefore, pipeline acid pickling is a crucial step in pipeline construction.
[0003] Existing pickling and passivation equipment, such as the technical solution in the document with application number CN212222159438.9, is a mobile pickling and passivation device that connects to the pipe to be pickled via a flexible hose. However, the following problems still exist:
[0004] 1. When dealing with pipes of different heights, the bending angle of the hose is also different. When the bending angle of the hose is too large, the inner wall of the hose is prone to deformation at the connection between the hose and rigid pipes such as the circulating pump and the inlet pipe, which may lead to a decrease in the flow of the hose or even the hose blockage, resulting in the equipment not being able to operate or the circulating pump being damaged.
[0005] 2. When the equipment starts or stops, the flow rate in the hose changes significantly, which disrupts the force balance within the hose and causes it to sway. The swaying hose can easily disturb surrounding equipment or personnel. Utility Model Content

[0040] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0041] The circulation pump 2 is started, and it draws pickling solution from the bottom of the pickling tank 1 through the flexible suction pipe 12. After entering the circulation pump 2, the pickling solution is transported to the buffer tank 10. The spiral guide plate 16 inside the buffer tank 10 optimizes the liquid flow path, and the pressure balancing hole 15 at the top balances the pressure inside the tank, thus buffering the impact force of the liquid flow. The buffered pickling solution enters the inlet pipe 3 through the flexible connecting pipe 11. The inner lining of the flexible connecting pipe 11, the stainless steel wire braided layer, and the outer rubber protective layer ensure the sealing, corrosion resistance, and flexibility of the connection. The pickling solution enters the pipeline to be treated through the inlet pipe 3 for pickling and passivation treatment. The treated pickling solution then... The return liquid is fed back through pipe 4. The flow stabilizer 21 at the outlet of pipe 4 stabilizes the flow of the returned liquid, making the liquid flow more stable. The pH value monitoring and alarm device 22 on pipe 4 monitors the pH value of the returned liquid in real time. Its electrode is inserted into the pipe through a compression fitting, and the signal line is connected to the PLC module of control cabinet 20. When the pH value is abnormal, an alarm signal is issued. The liquid level sensor 19 in pickling tank 1 monitors the liquid level in real time and transmits the signal to the liquid level monitoring module in control cabinet 20. When the liquid level sensor 19 detects that the liquid level is lower than the set threshold, the liquid level monitoring module controls the automatic shutdown to prevent the circulation pump 2 from running dry and being damaged. After the pickling and passivation treatment is completed, the circulation pump 2 is turned off.
