Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline corrosion monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a corrosion-adhesive device for sulfur-containing natural gas pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] During the transportation of sulfur-containing natural gas, corrosion often occurs inside pipelines due to the presence of acidic media such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, severely affecting the safe operation and service life of the pipelines. Currently, the assessment of pipeline corrosion often uses the plate-hanging method, but existing plate-hanging devices are often simple in structure and cannot be flexibly deployed according to different corrosive environments, making it difficult to comprehensively reflect the corrosion status at different locations within the pipeline.

[0003] However, most traditional corrosion-resistant plate devices are fixed installations, and the position of the plates cannot be adjusted. They also usually require mechanical transmission through the pipe wall, which poses risks of sealing difficulties and gas leakage in high-pressure and flammable environments. They cannot meet the dual requirements of safety and test representativeness for sulfur-containing natural gas pipelines. Therefore, in order to address the above technical problems, a corrosion-resistant plate device for sulfur-containing natural gas pipelines is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant hanging device for sulfur-containing natural gas pipelines. By using an external magnetic block to drive the internal components without contact, the device achieves precise positioning and lifting of the hanging plates at different heights within the pipeline, completely avoiding the leakage risks caused by dynamic seals. It can safely and reliably obtain representative data from key corrosion-sensitive areas such as the top, middle, and bottom of the pipeline.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 An embodiment of this utility model proposes a corrosion-resistant hanging plate device for sulfur-containing natural gas pipelines, comprising a device body 1. The device body 1 serves as the core load-bearing structure of the entire device, used to install internal components and withstand pipeline medium pressure. A cover 2 is detachably connected to one side of the device body 1. The cover 2 is used to seal the device body 1 and serves as the mounting base for external transmission components. The inner sides of the device body 1 and the cover 2 are hollow structures, which form a sealed cavity to simulate the internal corrosion environment of the pipeline.

[0025] The outer side of the cover 2 has two sets of symmetrically arranged mounting grooves 10. The mounting grooves 10 are used to accommodate and fix the thin plate 11 and provide space for the magnetic block to move. The thin plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting groove 10. The thin plate 11 is used to isolate the internal and external environment of the pipeline while allowing magnetic force to penetrate and be transmitted. The outer side of the thin plate 11 is slidably connected to the first magnetic block 12. The first magnetic block 12 is used as an external magnetic driving source and is used to move under the drive of the height adjustment mechanism. The inner side of the thin plate 11 is slidably connected to the second magnetic block 13. The second magnetic block 13 is used as an internal magnetic follower and is used to drive the hanging plate mounting mechanism to move synchronously under magnetic adsorption. The second magnetic block 13 and the first magnetic block 12 are attracted to each other. This magnetic adsorption pairing realizes contactless power transmission and avoids seal penetration.

[0026] A mounting mechanism is installed between the two sets of second magnetic blocks 13. The mounting mechanism is used to install and fix the corrosion test hanging plate, so that it is in a specific corrosion environment. A connecting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cover 2. The connecting seat 5 serves as the mounting base of the height adjustment mechanism and provides motion guidance. A height adjustment mechanism is installed between the connecting seat 5 and the first magnetic block 12. The height adjustment mechanism is used to drive the first magnetic block 12 to precisely raise and lower to adjust the height position of the internal hanging plate.

[0027] Connecting pipes 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the main body 1. The connecting pipes 3 are used to connect to external pipelines and transport sulfur-containing natural gas. Flanges 4 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipes 3. The flanges 4 are used to seal the connection with the external pipelines by bolts and ensure the stability of the device installation.

[0028] The thin plate 11 is made of a corrosion-resistant non-magnetic material. This material selection ensures that the thin plate 11 can work stably for a long time in a corrosive environment without affecting the magnetic force transmission. The exterior of the second magnetic block 13 is coated with a corrosion-resistant material. This corrosion-resistant coating protects the second magnetic block 13 from corrosion and maintains its magnetic performance.

[0029] The mounting plate mechanism includes a mounting plate 15, a positioning seat 16, and a mounting plate body 17. The mounting plate 15 is used to connect two sets of second magnetic blocks 13 and provide a mounting base for the positioning seat 16. The positioning seat 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 15. The positioning seat 16 is used to accurately install and fix the mounting plate body 17. The mounting plate body 17 is detachably connected to the outside of the positioning seat 16. The mounting plate body 17 serves as a corrosion test sample and is used to expose to a corrosive environment to obtain corrosion data.

[0030] The height adjustment mechanism includes a drive motor 6, a lead screw 7, a slider 8, a limiting groove 9, and a connecting plate 14. The drive motor 6 serves as a power source to provide rotational motion and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting seat 5. The lead screw 7 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the output shaft of the drive motor 6. The lead screw 7 is used to convert rotational motion into linear motion and is rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting seat 5. The slider 8 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 7 and is used to move linearly along the limiting groove 9 under the drive of the lead screw 7. The slider 8 is limited and slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting seat 5.

[0031] Limiting grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the connecting seat 5. Limiting grooves 9 are used to limit the movement trajectory of slider 8 and prevent it from rotating. Connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected between the first magnetic block 12 and slider 8. Connecting plate 14 is used to connect slider 8 and first magnetic block 12 and transmit linear motion. Connecting plate 14 is slidably connected to the inside of limiting groove 9.

[0032] An observation window 18 is provided on the outside of the main body 1 of the device. The observation window 18 is used to directly observe the condition of the internal plates and the corrosion without damaging the seal.

[0033] The working principle of a corrosion-resistant hanging device for sulfur-containing natural gas pipelines, based on an embodiment, is as follows: the device drives the motor 6 to rotate the lead screw 7, which in turn drives the slider 8 to move up and down along the limiting groove 9. This, in turn, causes the connecting plate 14 to synchronously move the first magnetic block 12 outside the cover 2. Since the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 13 sealed inside the device body 1 are attracted to each other through the thin plate 11, forming magnetic coupling, the movement of the external first magnetic block 12 can drive the internal second magnetic block 13 and its connected mounting plate 15, positioning seat 16, and hanging body 17 to rise and fall synchronously without contact. This magnetic drive method achieves non-contact power transmission from the outside to the inside, completely avoiding the penetration structure of traditional dynamic seals, fundamentally eliminating the potential leakage risk under high pressure and sulfur-containing conditions in natural gas pipelines, and greatly improving the sealing reliability and safety of the device.

[0034] Using this device, operators can safely control the main body 17 of the hanging plate to precisely stop at typical locations inside the pipeline, such as the top where liquid may accumulate, the middle of the main gas phase region, and the bottom where corrosive deposits may accumulate, to conduct long-term hanging plate corrosion tests. The device is installed on the pipeline via the connecting pipe 3 and flange 4, and the internal condition can be observed through the observation window 18. This method can obtain representative data from different corrosion-sensitive areas of the pipeline, providing a more comprehensive and accurate basis for pipeline safety assessment and corrosion protection.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
