Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring device technology, and in particular to a real-time monitoring device for the insulation performance of steam pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal insulation is crucial for steam pipelines: it effectively reduces heat loss, improves energy efficiency, prevents excessively high pipe surface temperatures, protects personnel safety, and reduces damage to the pipelines caused by thermal expansion and contraction. In addition, thermal insulation also provides sound insulation and fire resistance, enhancing the durability of the pipelines. Temperature monitoring, on the other hand, ensures that the pipelines operate within a safe temperature range, prevents overheating or overcooling, monitors the effectiveness of the insulation layer, and promptly detects potential hazards such as corrosion, cracks, and leaks, thereby ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the steam pipelines. The two complement each other and work together to maintain the stable operation of the steam pipeline system.

[0003] Traditionally, insulation is achieved by wrapping the outer wall of the pipe with insulation cotton. In order to observe whether the temperature changes, temperature detectors are used for detection, but this is only a random detection and cannot achieve real-time monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a real-time monitoring device for the thermal insulation performance of steam pipelines, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A real-time monitoring device for the thermal insulation performance of a steam pipeline includes a pipeline with thermal insulation cotton covering its outer wall. A fixing mechanism 1 is located at one end between the thermal insulation cotton and the pipeline. Monitoring mechanisms are located above both ends of the outer wall of the thermal insulation cotton. A fixing mechanism 2 is located below the monitoring mechanisms located away from the fixing mechanism 1. A connecting component is provided between the fixing mechanism 1 and the fixing mechanism 2. The fixing mechanism 1 includes an arc-shaped patch, with a monitoring tube 1 fixed to the top of the arc-shaped patch. An annular groove 1 is carved into the outer wall of the top end of the monitoring tube 1. The fixing mechanism 2 includes two clamps 1, with bolts 1 installed at both ends between the two clamps 1. A monitoring tube 2 is located at the top of the upper clamp 1, with an annular groove 2 carved into the outer wall of the top end of the monitoring tube 2. The monitoring mechanism includes a temperature monitor, with a monitoring rod at the bottom of the temperature monitor and a monitoring probe below the monitoring rod. The connecting component includes a fixing rod, with two clamps 2 at both ends of the fixing rod. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to two adjacent clamps 2, and bolts 2 are installed at both ends between the two clamps 2 at both ends.

[0007] Preferably, the arc-shaped patch is welded to the outer wall of the pipe, the monitoring tube is connected to the insulation cotton, and the monitoring probe of one of the monitoring mechanisms is installed inside the monitoring tube.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the hoop are detachably connected by bolts, and the hoop is fitted over the outside of the insulation cotton.

[0009] Preferably, the two clamps at both ends of the fixing rod are respectively fitted inside the annular groove one and the annular groove two, and the two clamps in the annular groove one and the two clamps in the monitoring tube two are detachably connected by bolts two.

[0010] Preferably, the monitoring probe of the other monitoring device is installed inside the annular groove two.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This device performs real-time temperature monitoring through two monitoring mechanisms. One mechanism can monitor the pipeline in real time, and the other can monitor the insulation cotton. This not only ensures that the temperature of the pipeline can be monitored, but also ensures that the insulation performance of the insulation cotton is not compromised, thus improving its practicality.

[0013] 2. The monitoring mechanism that matches the pipeline can be installed on the pipeline through fixing mechanism one, while the monitoring mechanism that matches the insulation cotton can be fixed on the insulation cotton through fixing mechanism two, and then fixed to the outside of fixing mechanism one that matches the pipeline through connectors. No other fixing parts are needed. It is suitable for use with some pipelines that are far from the ground. It is simple and convenient to install and disassemble. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a real-time monitoring device for the insulation performance of a steam pipeline includes a pipeline 1, with insulation cotton 2 covering the outer wall of the pipeline 1. A fixing mechanism 3 is provided at one end between the insulation cotton 2 and the pipeline 1. Monitoring mechanisms 5 are provided above both ends of the outer wall of the insulation cotton 2. A fixing mechanism 4 is provided below the monitoring mechanisms 5, away from the fixing mechanism 3. A connecting piece 6 is provided between the fixing mechanism 3 and the fixing mechanism 4. The fixing mechanism 3 includes an arc-shaped patch 31, and a monitoring tube 32 is fixed to the top of the arc-shaped patch 31. An annular groove 33 is carved into the outer wall of the top of the monitoring tube 32. The fixing mechanism 4 includes two clamps. Bolts 42 are installed at both ends of the two clamps 41. A monitoring tube 43 is installed at the top of the upper clamp 41. An annular groove 44 is carved on the outer wall of the top of the monitoring tube 43. The monitoring mechanism 5 includes a temperature monitor 51. A monitoring rod 52 is installed at the bottom of the temperature monitor 51. A monitoring probe 53 is installed below the monitoring rod 52. The connecting part 6 includes a fixing rod 61. Two clamps 62 are installed at both ends of the fixing rod 61. The fixing rod 61 is fixedly connected to the two adjacent clamps 62 respectively. Bolts 63 are installed at both ends between the two clamps 62.

[0021] Specifically, the arc-shaped patch 31 is welded to the outer wall of the pipe 1, the monitoring tube 32 is connected to the insulation cotton 2, and the monitoring probe 53 of one of the monitoring mechanisms 5 is installed inside the monitoring tube 32, so that the monitoring mechanism 5 can be fixed in the position of the pipe 1 by means of the fixing mechanism 3.

[0022] Specifically, both ends of the hoop 41 are detachably connected by bolt 42. The hoop 41 is fitted onto the outside of the insulation cotton 2, which facilitates the positioning of the monitoring mechanism 5 foundation on the outside of the insulation cotton 2.

[0023] Specifically, the two clamps 62 at both ends of the fixing rod 61 are respectively fitted inside the annular groove 33 and the annular groove 44. The two clamps 62 in the annular groove 33 and the two clamps 62 in the monitoring tube 43 are detachably connected by bolts 63, which facilitates disassembly and assembly and can fix the monitoring mechanism 5 at the position of the fixing mechanism 4. This is suitable for use in environments with high ground clearance where grounding fixing parts cannot be used.

[0024] Specifically, the monitoring probe 53 of another monitoring agency 5 is installed inside the annular groove 44.

[0025] Working principle: This device monitors the temperature in real time through two monitoring mechanisms 5. One mechanism monitors the pipe 1 in real time, while the other monitors the insulation cotton 2. This not only ensures that the temperature of the pipe 1 is monitored, but also ensures that the insulation performance of the insulation cotton 2 is not compromised, thus improving its practicality. The monitoring mechanism 5 matched with the pipe 1 can be installed on the pipe 1 through fixing mechanism one 3. The monitoring mechanism 5 matched with the insulation cotton 2 is fixed on the insulation cotton 2 through fixing mechanism two 4, and then fixed to the outside of the fixing mechanism one 3 matched with the pipe 1 through the connector 6. No other fixing parts are needed. It is suitable for use with pipes 1 located far from the ground. It is simple and convenient to install and disassemble.

[0026] The technical structure of monitoring agency 5 is a publicly available and very mature technology, and will not be elaborated further in this application.

[0027] The circuits, electronic components, and control modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon.
