[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 The present invention discloses a specific embodiment of a gas inlet pipeline protection box, comprising a mounting frame 1 and a cover 2. The mounting frame 1 is fixed to the exterior wall of the building at the inlet. The cover 2 covers the gas inlet pipeline and has interconnected top plate 21, front side plate 22, left side plate 23, and right side plate 24. The front side plate 22 has vertically spaced warning reflective strips 25. The left side plate 23 is hinged to the mounting frame 1 via two or more hinges 3. The right side plate 24 has an anti-theft triangular lock 26 that cooperates with the mounting frame 1. Ventilation louvers 27 are respectively provided on the left side plate 23 and the right side plate 24. This configuration constitutes a gas inlet pipeline protection box that is simple in structure, low in cost, safe, reliable, and highly practical. In practical applications, using the protection box to protect the gas inlet pipeline improves the safety, reliability, and service life of the gas pipeline. This utility model improves the convenience of disassembling and assembling the protective box by setting an installation frame 1, improves the convenience of opening and closing the protective box by setting a hinged box cover 2, improves the warning effect by setting a warning reflective strip 25 to prevent unauthorized contact and damage by irrelevant personnel, prevents the protective box from being opened without authorization by setting an anti-theft triangular lock 26 to prevent it from being damaged by human intervention, and ensures the ventilation effect of the protective box by setting a ventilation louver.
[0025] In a specific embodiment, this invention provides two or more positioning pins 28 facing the mounting frame 1 on the right side plate 24 of the cover 2. Correspondingly, positioning holes that mate with the positioning pins 28 are provided on the mounting frame 1. This arrangement, when the cover 2 is closed, allows the positioning pins 28 to insert into the corresponding positioning holes, providing a certain degree of support to prevent uneven deformation of the cover 2 and improving structural stability and service life. In another specific embodiment, this invention employs the following structure for the mounting frame 1: an inverted U-shaped back plate 11 is provided, and a cross brace 13 is fixed between the lower ends of the two vertical plates of the back plate 11 using stainless steel screws 12. The back plate 11 is fixed to the exterior wall of the building at the inlet using expansion bolts. This mounting frame 1 features a simple structure, easy processing, and convenient assembly and disassembly. In practical applications, to improve the rust prevention and corrosion resistance of the protective box, this invention typically uses stainless steel for both the mounting frame 1 and the cover 2. Meanwhile, this utility model also provides a locking wrench 4 that matches the anti-theft triangular lock 26, and the locking wrench 4 is equipped with a triangular head 41 that matches the anti-theft triangular lock 26, so that the box cover 2 can be opened quickly by the locking wrench 4.
[0026] In a specific implementation, this utility model adopts the following configuration for the inlet gas pipeline: it includes an inlet ball valve 5, an underground gas pipe connector 6, and a household gas pipe connector 7. A first flange 51 and a second flange 52 are respectively installed at the inlet and outlet ends of the inlet ball valve 5, allowing the lower end of the underground gas pipe connector 6 to connect to the buried gas pipeline. A third flange 61, sealed to the first flange 51 by connecting bolts, is installed at the upper end of the underground gas pipe connector 6. The household gas pipe connector 7 adopts an L-shaped structure, allowing its horizontal section to pass through the wall and connect to the gas pipeline installed in the building. A fourth flange 71, sealed to the second flange 52 by connecting bolts, is installed at the lower end of the vertical section of the household gas pipe connector 7. This configuration of the inlet gas pipeline features a simple structure, convenient assembly and disassembly, and a high degree of standardization. In a specific implementation, this utility model uses prefabricated integrated welded pipe fittings for both the underground gas pipe connector 6 and the household gas pipe connector 7. All welds on both the underground gas pipe connector 6 and the household gas pipe connector 7 undergo radiographic testing, and the weld quality meets safety requirements. Both the underground gas pipe connector 6 and the household gas pipe connector 7 have an anti-corrosion layer on their outer surfaces. This design ensures welding quality through comprehensive radiographic testing of the welds and guarantees anti-corrosion effectiveness through standardized overall anti-corrosion treatment of the welded parts. This avoids safety hazards caused by incomplete welding and improves the anti-corrosion effect, ensuring the service life of the inlet valve and pipe fittings.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, this invention provides an anti-corrosion layer consisting of a fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating and a weather-resistant PE powder coating arranged from the inside out. The thickness of the fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating is greater than or equal to 400 μm, and the thickness of the weather-resistant PE powder coating is greater than or equal to 500 μm. This anti-corrosion layer has the advantages of simple structure, easy construction, and good anti-corrosion effect. In another specific embodiment, this invention also provides a cleaning pipe connector 62 on the underground gas pipe connector 6 at a position above ground, and installs a first anti-tampering plug 63 on the cleaning pipe connector 62; similarly, a pressure testing pipe connector 72 is provided on the vertical pipe section of the household gas pipe connector 7, and a second anti-tampering plug 73 is provided on the pressure testing pipe connector 72. This setup, through the cleaning pipe connector 62, allows for the insertion of a gas ball into the underground gas pipe connector 6 when needed. The ball is then inflated to cut off the pipeline before the inlet valve, facilitating valve replacement or maintenance of other components. This improves the convenience of maintenance operations. Similarly, by installing a pressure testing pipe connector 72, a pressure gauge can be connected to monitor the pressure holding status of the user pipe and gas appliances downstream of the inlet ball valve outlet. The pressure holding status can then be used to determine if there is a leak, further enhancing the convenience of maintenance operations.
