Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline inspection, and in particular to an isolation device for downhole signal lines. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pipeline leak detection systems offer a method for detecting multiple leak points that can be installed at intervals along a pipeline. The detection method involves placing a detection unit between pipeline sections, with signal lines connected to the unit. These signal lines collect pipeline signals to detect the pressure of liquids passing through nearby pipes and transmit this information to the detection unit. The detection unit then sends the data to a control room for real-time monitoring. Once a leak is detected, the detection unit sends an alarm to the control room, enabling precise identification of the leak point.

[0003] The existing signal lines are directly exposed to the outside world and in contact with the ground surface. During detection, they are easily affected by the ground environment, which in turn affects the signal acquisition effect of the signal lines and leads to inaccurate detection by the detection subject.

[0028] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, an isolation device for a downhole signal line includes a pressure housing 1 covering the signal line. The bottom of the pressure housing 1 is open. A first partition plate 2 and a second partition plate 3 are provided in the inner cavity of the pressure housing 1 to divide the pressure housing 1 into an insulation space 4, an air-blocking space 5, and a containment space 6.

[0030] An isolation device for downhole signal lines includes a pressure housing 1 covering the top of the signal line connector 300. The pressure housing 1 has an insulated space 4 and an air-blocking space 5 at its top. The insulated space 4 isolates the signal line from the surface temperature, ensuring the signal line temperature is unaffected by external factors. Furthermore, the air-blocking space 5 isolates gases, effectively preventing the spread of fire if the insulation layer within the insulated space 4 is ignited. This ensures the signal line connector 300 has an independent detection environment, resulting in accurate signal acquisition and further ensuring the accuracy of the detection unit 200. This solves the technical problem of existing signal lines being directly exposed to the outside environment and in contact with the surface, making them susceptible to surface environmental influences during detection, thus affecting signal acquisition and leading to inaccurate detection by the detection unit 200.

[0031] Furthermore, the insulated space 4 is provided with a first insulation layer 41, a second insulation layer 42, and a third insulation layer 43 from top to bottom. Insulation is effectively achieved by using the third insulation layer. The first insulation layer 41 is rock wool, the second insulation layer 42 is glass wool, and the third insulation layer 43 is a polyurethane foam layer.

[0032] Furthermore, the thickness ratio of the first insulation layer 41, the second insulation layer 42, and the third insulation layer 43 is 2:1:1.5. This ratio ensures the insulation effect and heat insulation of the insulation layers.

[0033] Furthermore, a miniature air pump 7 is provided to block the external connection of the air space 5. The specific model of this miniature air pump 7 is PC3025N.

[0034] Furthermore, the second partition 3 includes two layers of fireproof boards 31 and a PET film 32 disposed between the two layers of fireproof boards 31. This effectively prevents the spread of fire. When the top fireproof board 31 catches fire, the PET film 32 isolates the fire source.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a water-absorbing layer 8, which is disposed below the fireproof board 31 to prevent water leakage from the signal line connector 300.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes an anti-wear washer disposed on the bottom annular end face of the pressure housing 1. This improves the wear resistance of the end of the pressure housing 1, thereby ensuring the service life of the pressure housing 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, a signal line through hole is also provided on the end face of the mounting flange 100. The top of the signal line through hole forms a signal line connection end face along its radial direction. Multiple signal line screw holes are provided on the signal line connection end face. The signal line screw holes are distributed circumferentially. A signal connection plate 301 is provided on the signal line connector 300. Multiple second mounting screw holes are provided on the signal connection plate 301. The second mounting screw holes correspond to the signal line screw holes.

[0038] It also includes a second bolt 400, which passes through the second mounting screw hole and the signal line screw hole respectively, and is screwed to both the second mounting screw hole and the signal line screw hole.

[0039] In this embodiment, the signal cable connector 300 is augmented with an annular signal connection disc 301 that abuts against the annular signal cable connection end face. Multiple connection points are spaced circumferentially from the annular signal connection disc 301 using a second bolt 400. This ensures a more stable connection and better guarantees the installation effect of the signal cable connector 300. This further ensures the effectiveness of signal cable and pipeline detection and improves detection accuracy.
