Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probe installation technology, and in particular to an installation mechanism and a gas detection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the monitoring of flammable gases on offshore oil drilling and production platforms, the platform's facilities and characteristics often determine the placement of flammable gas probes. To ensure effective monitoring of the flammable gas system, probes should be placed in all equipment and locations where combustible gases and potentially hydrogen sulfide gases may be present. For flammable gas probes placed overboard or at high altitudes, maintenance personnel often need to erect scaffolding and climb to perform repairs and maintenance. This not only exposes maintenance personnel to significant safety risks but also makes operation inconvenient, consumes a large amount of manpower, and is inefficient. Furthermore, improper operation may cause the flammable gas probes to fall and be damaged, increasing maintenance costs. In addition, the maintenance process may also affect the access of production operations below the flammable gas probes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address at least one defect of the related technologies mentioned in the background: for gas detectors installed outside the ship, maintenance personnel often need to build scaffolding and climb to high places for repair and maintenance. This not only exposes maintenance personnel to greater safety risks, but also makes operation inconvenient, consumes a lot of manpower, and is inefficient. Therefore, this utility model provides an installation mechanism and a gas detection device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to construct an installation mechanism suitable for gas probes, the installation mechanism comprising:

[0005] The base body is used to fix it to an external fastener;

[0006] A support member is fixed to one side of the seat body in the height direction, and the support member is a hollow structure with openings at both ends;

[0007] An extension member that passes through and is confined on the support member, and the extension member is a telescopic structure;

[0008] The mounting component is fixed to one end of the protrusion away from the support component, and the mounting component is used to mount the gas probe;

[0009] The detection pipeline and gas detection interface are provided. One end of the detection pipeline is connected to the outlet of the gas probe, and the other end of the detection pipeline is connected to the gas detection interface.

[0010] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the support member is set at an angle to the height direction of the seat.

[0011] In some embodiments, the end of the protrusion that is away from the support and the mounting member is a bent structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism further includes:

[0013] The limiting member has a connecting hole on the supporting member. The limiting member is connected to the connecting hole and abuts against the outer wall surface of the protruding member to limit the protruding member.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mounting component includes:

[0015] The mounting portion, which is a groove-shaped structure surrounding the protruding member, includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall. The second and third sidewalls are oppositely disposed and fixedly connected to the first sidewall, forming a groove. The first sidewall is used to mount the gas probe, the second sidewall has a third through hole, and the third sidewall has a fourth through hole corresponding to the third through hole.

[0016] The second fixing component is used to pass through the third through hole and the fourth through hole on the second sidewall and to fix it.

[0017] In some embodiments, the mounting component further includes:

[0018] The anti-slip layer is provided on the inner side of the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the third sidewall respectively.

[0025] The gas probe is mounted on the mounting component of the mounting mechanism, and the gas outlet of the gas probe is connected to one end of the detection pipeline.

[0026] By implementing this utility model, the following beneficial effects can be achieved:

[0027] This utility model discloses an installation mechanism. When the gas probe needs repair and maintenance, maintenance personnel only need to use the support member as a fulcrum to pull back the extension member with the gas probe installed. Maintenance personnel can easily complete the repair and maintenance of the external gas probe from the ground, eliminating the need for scaffolding and high-altitude operations. This achieves a safe and reliable maintenance method for external gas probes, effectively avoiding the safety risks associated with climbing, significantly shortening repair and maintenance time, improving work efficiency, and reducing the impact of repair and maintenance on production operations. This indirectly reduces downtime costs associated with repair and maintenance, resulting in overall cost savings.

[0030] It should be noted that the dimensions or proportions shown in the figure are merely examples to illustrate the structural composition and are not actual dimensions or proportions. Detailed Implementation

[0031] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "fixing," "connection," "linking," "located in," and "located in" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection (or an integral structure), a detachable connection, a mechanical connection, a chemical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of this utility model disclose an installation mechanism suitable for a gas probe 11. The gas probe 11 is used to obtain gas to the sensor through natural diffusion or active extraction. For example, active extraction involves drawing gas using a built-in air pump. The sensor detects gas concentration, gas composition, and gas temperature. For instance, the gas probe 11 is a fire gas probe; however, this is merely an example and not intended to limit the scope of this application, and other types are also possible. The installation mechanism includes a base 1, a support 2, an extension 3, a mounting component 4, a detection pipeline 5, and a gas detection interface 6, as detailed below:

[0036] The base 1 is used to fix the entire mounting mechanism to external fasteners to ensure stability, such as walls or floors.

[0037] The support member 2 is fixed to one side of the base 1 in the height direction, and the support member 2 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. The protruding member 3 passes through the support member 2 and can be limited on the support member 2. The support member 2 provides support for the protruding member 3 to ensure the stability of the protruding member 3 during the pushing or pulling process. In addition, the protruding member 3 is a telescopic structure, and its length can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0038] Mounting component 4 is fixed to the end of the protruding component 3 away from the supporting component 2. Mounting component 4 is used to install gas probe 11. Mounting component 4 ensures that gas probe 11 will not be displaced or fall off during maintenance and repair.

[0039] One end of the detection line 5 is connected to the outlet of the gas probe 11, and the other end of the detection line 5 is connected to the gas detection interface 6. The detection line 5 and the gas detection interface 6 provide a convenient channel for gas detection, which is convenient for maintenance and testing operations.

[0040] When maintenance and repair of the gas probe 11 are required, maintenance personnel only need to use the support 2 as a fulcrum and pull back the extension 3 on which the gas probe 11 is installed. Maintenance personnel can easily complete the maintenance and repair of the gas probe 11 outside the ship from the ground. There is no need to build scaffolding or climb to work at heights. This achieves a safe and reliable maintenance method for the gas probe 11 outside the ship, effectively avoiding the safety risks caused by maintenance personnel climbing to heights. It also greatly shortens the maintenance and repair time, improves work efficiency, and reduces the impact of maintenance and repair on production operations. This indirectly reduces the downtime costs caused by maintenance and repair, and achieves overall cost savings in maintenance.

[0041] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the support member 2 is set at an angle to the height direction of the seat body 1, for example, the opening direction of the support member 2 is perpendicular to the height direction of the seat body 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism further includes an extension 7, which is fixed to one side of the seat 1 in the height direction and extends away from the seat 1, and a support 2 is fixed to the end of the extension 7 away from the seat 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the protruding member 3 is a rod-shaped structure, and the supporting member 2 is a cylindrical structure. The protruding member 3 is a rod made of metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, etc. The stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and copper mentioned here are just examples and are not intended to limit this application; other materials may also be used.

[0044] In some embodiments, in order to effectively avoid the risk of the probe falling due to the operation error of maintenance personnel and reduce costs, the end of the protrusion 3 away from the support 2 and the mounting part 4 is a bent structure. That is, when the maintenance personnel push the protrusion 3 out, the bent structure can be locked onto the support 2, thereby preventing the protrusion 3 (i.e. the gas probe 11) from falling.

[0045] In some embodiments, the extender 3 includes at least two nested cantilever sections 31 and at least one first fixing component 32. In each pair of cantilever sections 31, one cantilever section 31 has at least one first through-hole penetrating both side walls, and the other cantilever section 31 has at least two second through-holes arranged along its length penetrating both side walls. The first fixing component 32 passes through and fixes the two cantilever sections 31 through the first and second through-holes, thereby fixing the telescopic length of the extender 3. It is understood that at least one can be one, two, three, or any number.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first fixing component 32 includes a first through member and a first connecting member, the first connecting member being connected to the first through member. For example, the first through member is a bolt and the first connecting member is a nut. The bolt and nut here are just examples and are not intended to limit this application. Others may also be used.

[0047] For example, each pair of cantilever sections 31 includes an outer cantilever and an inner cantilever. The outer cantilever has a first through hole that penetrates both side walls, and the inner cantilever has two second through holes that are arranged along the length direction and penetrate both side walls. When it is necessary to adjust the telescopic length, the first through hole on the outer cantilever can be aligned with either of the second through holes on the inner cantilever, and then the bolts are passed through the first and second through holes and locked with nuts.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first fixing component 32 may be located on the end of the protrusion 3 away from the support 2 and the mounting component 4, that is, the maintenance personnel can pass through the support 2 after adjusting the telescopic length on the ground.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first fixing component 32 is basically flush with the outer wall surface of the protrusion 3 after installation. In this case, the bending structure on the protrusion 3 can prevent the protrusion 3 (i.e., the gas probe 11) from falling off. In other embodiments, the first fixing component 32 protrudes from the outer wall surface of the protrusion 3 after installation. In this case, the first fixing component 32 can be engaged with the support component 2 to prevent the protrusion 3 (i.e., the gas probe 11) from falling off.

[0050] In some embodiments, to fix the detection angle of the gas probe 11, i.e., to ensure that the protruding member 3 does not rotate, the mounting mechanism also includes a limiting member 8. The support member 2 is provided with a connecting hole, and the limiting member 8 is connected to the connecting hole and abuts against the outer wall surface of the protruding member 3, thereby limiting the protruding member 3 through friction. For example, the limiting member 8 is a bolt, and the connecting hole is a threaded hole. The bolt and threaded hole here are only examples and are not intended to limit this application; other types are also possible.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mounting member 4 includes a mounting portion 41 and a second fixing component 42. The mounting portion 41 has a groove-shaped structure and surrounds the protruding member 3. It includes a first sidewall 411, a second sidewall 412, and a third sidewall 413. The second sidewall 412 and the third sidewall 413 are arranged opposite to each other and fixedly connected to the first sidewall 411. The second sidewall 412 and the third sidewall 413 form a groove. The first sidewall 411 is used to mount the gas probe 11. The second sidewall 412 has a third through hole, and the third sidewall 413 has a fourth through hole corresponding to the third through hole. The second fixing component 42 is used to pass through the third through hole on the second sidewall 412 and the fourth through hole on the third sidewall 413 and fix it.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first sidewall 411 and the gas probe 11 are snap-fitted, such as a spherical snap-fit. The base of the gas probe 11 is provided with a ball head, the first sidewall 411 is provided with a spherical groove, and a rotating member is provided on the outer periphery of the spherical groove. The inner wall surface of the rotating member and the outer wall surface of the spherical groove are connected by a threaded engagement. When the rotating member rotates, it squeezes the spherical groove to lock the ball head contained in the spherical groove.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second fixing component 42 includes a second through member and a second connecting member, which are connected to the second through member. For example, the second through member is a bolt and the second connecting member is a nut. The bolt and nut are just examples and are not intended to limit this application. Other types of bolts and nuts are also possible.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mounting part 41 is a mounting body made of metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, etc. Stainless steel, aluminum alloy and copper are just examples and are not intended to limit this application. Other materials may also be used.

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the mounting component 4 is stable and does not fall off, the mounting component 4 also includes an anti-slip layer (not shown). The inner sides of the first sidewall 411, the second sidewall 412 and the third sidewall 413 are respectively provided with anti-slip layers, such as silicone layers. The silicone layer here is only an example and is not intended to limit this application. Other types are also possible.

[0056] In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the mounting member 4 and prevent it from falling off, a groove (not shown) is provided on the outer wall surface of the protruding member 3, and the mounting part 41 is engaged in the groove. Specifically, the first side wall 411, the second side wall 412 and the third side wall 413 are engaged in the groove, so that when the second fixing component 42 is fixed subsequently, the stability of the mounting member 4 can be ensured and it will not fall off.

[0057] In some embodiments, to facilitate the connection between the detection line 5 and the gas probe 11, the installation mechanism also includes a probe connection port 9, one end of which is connected to the gas outlet of the gas probe 11, and the other end of which is connected to one end of the detection line 5.

[0058] In some embodiments, the installation mechanism further includes a binding member 10, which surrounds the protruding member 3 and is used to bind the detection pipeline 5 to the protruding member 3. For example, the binding member 10 is a binding rope. The binding rope here is only an example and is not intended to limit this application. Other binding members are also possible.

[0059] In some embodiments, the gas detection interface 6 is equipped with a valve, which can be opened manually or electrically when gas detection is required. In other embodiments, the gas probe 11 has a valve at its outlet, which can be wirelessly controlled to open. This technology is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In some embodiments, during actual installation, the base 1 is first installed in a suitable position, then the length of the protrusion 3 is adjusted, the protrusion 3 is passed through the support 2 and the mounting 4 is fixed on the protrusion 3, the gas probe 11 is installed on the mounting 4, and finally the protrusion 3 is pushed out and limited on the support 2, so that the gas probe 11 corresponds to the position to be measured. In addition, the detection pipeline 5 is connected to the gas probe 11 and the gas detection interface 6.

[0061] During maintenance and repair, maintenance personnel can pull back the protruding part 3 with the gas probe 11 installed as a whole and loosen the binding part 10 according to the actual situation, thereby realizing convenient maintenance and repair of the gas probe 11.

[0062] Some embodiments of this utility model disclose a gas detection device, including the installation mechanism described in any of the above embodiments and a gas probe 11. The installation mechanism will not be described in detail here. The gas probe 11 is installed on the mounting part 4 of the installation mechanism, and the gas outlet of the gas probe 11 is connected to one end of the detection pipeline 5.

[0063] In some embodiments, the gas detection device further includes a gas detector connected to the gas detection interface 6 for acquiring gas and performing maintenance testing operations.

[0064] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate some implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments or technical features without departing from the concept of this utility model, and can also make several modifications and improvements, all of which fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
