Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas construction technology, specifically to a buried gas pipeline. Background Technology
[0002] Buried gas pipelines, as an important component of urban infrastructure, are widely used for transporting gaseous media such as natural gas and coal gas. Traditional buried gas pipelines mainly use a single welded connection method, which is susceptible to geological subsidence, temperature changes, and external load impacts during long-term operation. This can lead to stress concentration, structural fatigue, and even damage or leakage at the pipe connection points. In addition, existing pipeline connection structures generally lack stress buffering and intelligent monitoring devices, resulting in poor maintenance and risk warning capabilities. Consequently, they fail to meet the comprehensive requirements of modern gas engineering for safety, reliability, and maintainability. Therefore, this paper proposes a new type of buried gas pipeline to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] A buried gas pipeline includes a left unit pipe body 1 and a right unit pipe body 2, which are welded together. A reinforcing connection structure is installed on the outside of the connection between the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2. The reinforcing connection structure includes a reinforcing rod 5 and a reinforcing cylinder 6. The reinforcing rod 5 is installed on the outside of the connection between the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2, with its two ends installed on the outside of the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2, respectively. The reinforcing cylinder 6 is installed on the outside of the reinforcing rod 5. This solution improves the mechanical strength of the connection by welding the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2 together and adding a reinforcing connection structure (reinforcing rod 5 and reinforcing cylinder 6) on the outside. It also enhances the stability and resistance to external pressure at the interface, making it suitable for use in complex buried environments.
[0026] A spring tube structure 3 is installed on the side of the left unit pipe body 1 away from the right unit pipe body 2 and on the side of the right unit pipe body 2 away from the left unit pipe body 1. A standard pipe body 4 is installed on the other side of the spring tube structure 3. By connecting the standard pipe body 4 and the spring tube structure 3 at both ends, axial stress caused by geological settlement or temperature changes can be effectively absorbed, improving the overall flexibility of the pipeline, reducing the risk of damage to the welded parts, and enhancing the long-term reliability of the buried gas pipeline. There are multiple reinforcing rods 5, which are evenly installed on the outside of the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2. The cross-section of the reinforcing rod 5 is arc-shaped. The reinforcing rods 5 are arranged in a circular shape and are attached to the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2. Multiple arc-shaped reinforcing rods 5 are used, attached to the pipe surface, which enhances the overall structural strength of the pipe joint, improves the uniformity of stress distribution, reduces point stress concentration, and improves seismic and compressive strength. Fixing bolts 7 are installed on the outer sides of both the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2. The reinforcing rods 5 are installed on the outer sides of the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2 through the fixing bolts 7 and the fixing bracket. The fixing bolts 7 firmly connect the reinforcing rods 5 to the pipe body, and the fixing bracket helps prevent the reinforced structure from collapsing during long-term operation. If loosening or displacement occurs, fixed threaded rings 8 are installed on the outer sides of both the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2. A reinforcing cylinder 6 is spirally installed on the outer side of the threaded ring 8. This fixed threaded ring structure allows the reinforcing cylinder 6 to be screwed onto the outside of the pipe, facilitating replacement and maintenance. The threaded connection further enhances sealing and structural strength. The distance between the threaded rings 8 on both sides is equal to the length of the reinforcing rod 5, and both ends of the reinforcing rod 5 are fitted against the inner side of the threaded rings 8. By ensuring that the length of the reinforcing rod 5 is equal to the distance between the threaded rings 8 on both sides and that they fit together, the overall structural integrity is improved. To ensure that the reinforcing structure can effectively transfer stress and be fixed to the pipe surface, strain gauges 9 are provided on the outside of the reinforcing cylinder 6. A mounting bracket 10 is installed on one side of the strain gauge 9, and the strain gauge 9 is connected to the cable of the pipeline. Fixing seats 11 are installed on the inner sides of both ends of the mounting bracket 10, and the fixing seats 11 are fixed to the standard pipe body 4. Fixing rings 12 are installed on the outer sides of both ends of the mounting bracket 10. The strain gauge 9 and cable connection structure are integrated on the outside of the reinforcing cylinder 6, which can monitor the stress state of the connection part in real time. Combined with the mounting bracket and fixing seats, precise positioning and stable installation are achieved, providing data-driven safety monitoring for buried gas pipelines.
[0027] Workflow: First, the left unit pipe body 1 and the right unit pipe body 2 are welded together to form a complete gas passage. A reinforcing connection structure is installed outside the interface, including multiple reinforcing rods 5 evenly distributed along the outer arc of the pipe body and fixed to the outer shell of the pipe body by fixing brackets 7. Then, reinforcing cylinders 6 are fitted on the outside of the reinforcing rods 5. The reinforcing cylinders 6 can be tightened and fixed by fixing threaded rings 8, while ensuring that the two ends of the reinforcing cylinders 6 are tightly fitted to the two ends of the reinforcing rods 5. For the left and right ends away from the interface, spring tube structures 3 are installed to alleviate the axial displacement of the pipeline caused by thermal expansion and contraction or geological stress during operation. The end of the spring tube structure 3 is connected to the standard pipe body 4 to complete the interface conversion of the standard section of the pipeline system. Strain gauges 9 are installed on the outside of the reinforcing cylinder 6 and fixed to the standard pipe body 4 by mounting brackets 10. The mounting brackets have fixing seats 11 and fixing rings 12 at both ends for auxiliary positioning and cable laying. The strain gauges 9 are connected to the cables laid with the pipeline to realize real-time detection and remote monitoring of the stress state of the gas pipeline interface.
