Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrosion detection, and in particular to a pipeline corrosion monitoring sensor with a fixed structure that can be quickly installed. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as petroleum, chemical, and power, insulated pipelines serve as critical infrastructure for media transmission. Operating under complex conditions for extended periods, they are highly susceptible to corrosion. Pipeline corrosion not only shortens service life but can also lead to media leaks, causing serious safety accidents and environmental pollution, resulting in significant economic losses for enterprises. Currently, inductive corrosion probes and online thickness measurement to monitor remaining wall thickness are commonly used in engineering to monitor the corrosion of insulated pipelines. However, these methods are localized monitoring approaches, only acquiring corrosion information at specific monitoring points and failing to comprehensively reflect the corrosion status of the entire pipeline. Due to the non-uniform and localized nature of pipeline corrosion, these localized monitoring methods may miss severely corroded areas, leading to inaccurate monitoring results and hindering reliable assurance for pipeline safety. To overcome the shortcomings of these localized monitoring methods, fiber optic sensor technology has been introduced into the field of pipeline corrosion monitoring. Fiber optic sensors offer significant advantages in in-situ and long-term monitoring, enabling real-time and continuous acquisition of pipeline corrosion information, comprehensively reflecting the pipeline corrosion situation. While existing fiber optic technology is relatively mature, its fixing methods have significant shortcomings in monitoring insulated pipelines. Existing methods for fixing fiber optic sensors mainly include adhesive fixing and clip fixing. Adhesive fixing softens at high temperatures, causing the fiber optic sensor to loosen its connection to the pipe surface, severely affecting monitoring accuracy and effectiveness. While adjustable prefabricated clip fixing can adapt to different pipe types to some extent, the complex manufacturing process of prefabricated clips makes on-site installation cumbersome and inefficient, hindering large-scale application. Therefore, we propose a pipe corrosion monitoring sensor with a fixed structure that allows for rapid installation. Utility Model Content

By setting the dovetail tenon fixedly installed at the upper end of the strap, the strap can be easily connected to the optical fiber connector, improving the convenience and stability of the device.
[0007] Furthermore, the strap passes through the lock body and is fixed by the locking device inside the lock opening. The strap is adapted to the lock opening. By setting the strap to pass through the lock body and be fixed by the locking device inside the lock opening, the device can be integrated, making installation convenient and enabling rapid construction, thus improving the convenience of the device.
