Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring structure technology, specifically a monitoring structure for a sleeve compensator. Background Technology
[0002] A sleeve expansion joint is a device that compensates for displacement caused by thermal expansion, mechanical vibration, or foundation settlement of a pipeline through an axial sliding sleeve structure. Its core function is to maintain the continuity of the pipeline system and prevent stress concentration. It absorbs displacement by using the relative sliding of the inner and outer sleeves, and achieves zero leakage of the medium in conjunction with sealing packing or flexible seals. It is suitable for straight pipelines or small-angle deflection scenarios.
[0003] However, existing sleeve compensators lack a monitoring structure, making it impossible to monitor leakage during actual use. This results in the inability to detect leaks in a timely manner and to repair them promptly. To address this issue, a sleeve compensator monitoring structure is provided. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sleeve compensator monitoring structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sleeve compensator monitoring structure, including a base, a frame disposed at the top of the base, a sliding assembly disposed in the inner cavity of the frame, a fixed plate disposed at the top of the sliding assembly, a through hole in the middle of the fixed plate, a sliding groove disposed in the inner cavity of the through hole, a rotating plate rotatably embedded in the inner cavity of the sliding groove, a circular hole disposed in the middle of the rotating plate, a thermal imaging device disposed in the inner cavity of the circular hole, and a driving assembly disposed on the rear side of the fixed plate.
[0005] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a bracket, a first motor, a gear ring, and a gear. The bracket is disposed on the rear side of the rotating plate, the gear ring is disposed on the rear end of the bracket, the first motor is disposed on the front end of the fixed plate, the output end of the first motor extends to the rear side of the fixed plate, and the gear is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the first motor.
[0006] Preferably, the gear meshes with a ring gear.
[0007] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a second motor, a lead screw, a sliding plate, and a limiting assembly. The second motor is located at the front end of the frame, and its output end extends into the inner cavity of the frame. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the frame via a bearing, and the other end of the lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The sliding plate is screwed onto the outer wall of the lead screw and fixedly connected to a fixed plate. The limiting assembly is located at the bottom end of the inner cavity of the frame and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding plate.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting groove and a limiting block. The limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame, and the limiting block is slidably embedded in the inner cavity of the limiting groove and fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide plate.
[0009] Preferably, the inner cavity of the limiting groove and the outer wall of the limiting block are adapted to each other and are both in the shape of a "T".
[0010] Preferably, a sleeve compensator is inserted into the inner cavity of the circular hole.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. The first motor drives the gear to rotate. Since the gear meshes with the gear ring, when the gear rotates, the gear ring drives the bracket and the rotating plate to rotate, which in turn causes the thermal imaging device inside the circular hole on the rotating plate to rotate. This allows for monitoring of leakage around the outer circumference of the sleeve compensator. The second motor drives the lead screw to rotate. Under the rotational force of the screw's outer thread, when the lead screw rotates, the slide plate, under the limiting action of the limiting groove and the limiting block, moves along a straight line, driving the fixed plate, the rotating plate, and the thermal imaging device to slide. This allows the thermal imaging device to slide while rotating, thus monitoring the leakage around the entire outer circumference of the sleeve compensator. This solves the problem that existing sleeve compensators lack a monitoring structure, making it impossible to monitor leakage during actual use, resulting in the inability to detect and repair leakage in a timely manner.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sleeve compensator monitoring structure, including a base 1, a frame 2 at the top of the base 1, a sliding assembly in the inner cavity of the frame 2, a fixed plate 3 at the top of the sliding assembly, a through hole 4 in the middle of the fixed plate 3, a sliding groove 5 in the inner cavity of the through hole 4, a rotating plate 6 rotatably embedded in the inner cavity of the sliding groove 5, a circular hole 17 in the middle of the rotating plate 6, a thermal imaging device 7 in the inner cavity of the circular hole 17, and a driving assembly on the rear side of the fixed plate 3. Through the driving assembly, the circular hole 17 on the rotating plate 6 can be... The thermal imaging 7 rotates, thereby monitoring the leakage around the outer circumference of the sleeve compensator. The sliding component drives the fixed plate 3 to slide, which in turn allows the rotating plate 6 and the thermal imaging 7 to slide. This allows the thermal imaging 7 to rotate and slide simultaneously, thus enabling monitoring of the leakage around the entire outer circumference of the sleeve compensator. This solves the problem that existing sleeve compensators lack a monitoring structure, making it impossible to monitor leakage during actual use, resulting in the inability to detect leakage in a timely manner and to repair it promptly.
[0020] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a bracket 8, a first motor 10, a gear ring 9, and a gear 11. The bracket 8 is located on the rear side of the rotating plate 6, the gear ring 9 is located on the rear end of the bracket 8, the first motor 10 is located on the front end of the fixed plate 3, the output end of the first motor 10 extends to the rear side of the fixed plate 3, and the gear 11 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the first motor 10.
[0021] In this embodiment, gear 11 meshes with gear ring 9. The first motor 10 drives gear 11 to rotate. Since gear 11 meshes with gear ring 9, when gear 11 rotates, gear ring 9 can drive bracket 8 and rotating plate 6 to rotate, thereby causing thermal imaging 7 of the inner cavity of the circular hole 17 on rotating plate 6 to rotate, so as to monitor the leakage of the outer circumference of the sleeve compensator.
[0022] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly includes a second motor 12, a lead screw 13, a sliding plate 14, and a limiting assembly. The second motor 12 is located at the front end of the frame 2, and its output end extends into the inner cavity of the frame 2. One end of the lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the frame 2 via a bearing, and the other end of the lead screw 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 12. The sliding plate 14 is screwed onto the outer wall of the lead screw 13 and fixedly connected to the fixed plate 3. The limiting assembly is located at the bottom end of the inner cavity of the frame 2 and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding plate 14. The second motor 12 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate. Under the action of the rotational force of the thread on the outer wall of the lead screw 13, when the lead screw 13 rotates, the sliding plate 14 can slide along a straight line under the limiting action of the limiting groove 15 and the limiting block 16, thereby allowing the thermal imaging 7 to slide while rotating, thus enabling the monitoring of the leakage of the entire outer circumference of the entire sleeve compensator.
[0023] In this embodiment, the limiting component includes a limiting groove 15 and a limiting block 16. The limiting groove 15 is formed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame 2. The limiting block 16 is slidably embedded in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 15 and fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide plate 14. Under the combined action of the limiting groove 15 and the limiting block 16, the slide plate 14 can be prevented from rotating with the lead screw 13 when the lead screw 13 rotates, thereby improving the stability of the sliding component during use.
[0024] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the limiting groove 15 and the outer wall of the limiting block 16 are adapted to each other and are both in the shape of a "T". This allows one end of the limiting block 16 to always remain embedded in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 15, thereby improving the stability of the limiting component during use.
[0025] In this embodiment, a sleeve compensator is inserted into the inner cavity of the circular hole 17, so that the thermal imaging 7 can rotate and slide around the sleeve compensator.
