Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline testing, and in particular to a pipeline testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Newly built ships may face pipeline blockage issues during the commissioning phase. Commissioning personnel often assume the pipelines are unobstructed and are unaware of actual blockages. If a blockage occurs, it may be necessary to disassemble flanges one by one for troubleshooting. Since different types of pipelines vary in length, some pipelines may be hundreds of meters long and pass through multiple compartments or sections, which poses a significant challenge to the method of disassembling flanges for troubleshooting. In addition, if the pipeline is filled with oil or water, the liquid may leak out when the flange is disassembled, potentially polluting the ship's environment. In short, this method of troubleshooting pipeline blockages not only increases the labor costs of commissioning but also delays the commissioning cycle.

[0003] Patent application CN116626162A discloses a device and method for detecting the concentration and blockage of feed pipeline materials, relating to the field of pipeline material detection technology. The device includes a vibrator disposed on one side of the outer wall of the pipeline to be tested, with the vibrating head of the vibrator abutting against and vibrating against the outer wall of the pipeline to generate sound waves within the pipeline; a sound wave converter disposed on the opposite side of the outer wall of the pipeline to be tested, opposite to the vibrator, with the receiving end of the sound wave converter having a gap or contact with the outer wall of the pipeline to receive and generate sound wave feedback signals; a main control system and a host computer; both the vibrator and the sound wave converter are electrically connected to the main control system and are controlled by the main control system; the main control system has a built-in wireless communication module and is wirelessly connected to the host computer; and a power supply mechanism electrically connected to the main control system.

[0004] The existing detection devices have complex structures, making it difficult to quickly detect the fluid status in pipelines, resulting in high troubleshooting costs and long troubleshooting times.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipeline inspection device that can quickly determine the fluid state in the pipeline, avoiding the need to disassemble flanges section by section for inspection when the location of pipeline blockage is unknown during the commissioning phase of various ship systems. This shortens the commissioning cycle, saves manpower and material costs, and also effectively prevents pollution to the ship's environment due to fluid (oil or water) leakage during flange disassembly.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:

[0008] A pipeline testing device includes a pipeline clamping and fixing bracket, a vibrator, a shielding box, a radiated noise tester, and a control box. The pipeline clamping and fixing bracket includes a sector plate, a telescopic rod, and a connecting plate. Two sets of sector plates are arranged parallel to each other along the pipeline axis. The shielding box is fixed between the upper and lower sector plates on one side, and the radiated noise tester is fixed between the upper and lower sector plates on the other side.

[0009] By adopting the above structure, the device can quickly detect the fluid status of the pipeline, avoiding the need to remove flanges to inspect the pipeline. It is easy to operate, reduces troubleshooting costs, and shortens troubleshooting time.

[0010] Preferably, bolt holes are provided at the far ends of the two sets of sector plates, and the shielding box is fixed between the two sector plates by bolts and bolt holes. The radiated noise tester is fixedly connected to the sector plates by bolts and bolt holes.

[0011] By adopting the above structure, the device can fit well with the pipeline surface, improving the stability of the device fixation.

[0012] Preferably, each of the two sets of sector plates has a connecting plate at its opposite ends, and a telescopic rod is provided between the opposite sector plates, with the telescopic rod installed in the opening of the connecting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the telescopic rod consists of two parts, which are connected by a thread, and the length of the telescopic rod can be adjusted by rotating the thread.

[0014] By adopting the above structure, the opening degree of the measuring device can be adjusted, enabling measurements to be taken on pipes of different diameters.

[0015] Preferably, the vibrator is axially perpendicular to the surface of the pipeline and is positioned at the center of the shielding box. The shielding box is fan-shaped, with fan-shaped micro-perforated plates arranged radially at equal intervals inside the shielding box, and sound-absorbing cotton is uniformly radiated outside the shielding box.

[0016] By adopting the above structure, the radiated noise generated outside the pipeline at the excitation source when the vibrator applies excitation force to the pipeline can be shielded by the shielding box. The micro-perforated plate and sound-absorbing cotton can both absorb the radiated noise at the excitation source and prevent interference with the test results of the radiated noise tester.

[0017] Preferably, the radiated noise tester is square, with one side attached to the pipe wall and a control box fixed on the other side. The control box includes a data processor, buttons, and a display screen.

[0018] By adopting the above structure, the radiated noise tester can accurately measure the radiated noise of the fluid medium in the pipeline.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The device of this utility model has a compact and simple structure, which can quickly detect the fluid status of pipelines, avoid the need to remove flanges to inspect pipelines, and is easy to operate, reducing troubleshooting costs and time.

[0021] 2. The radiation noise tester set in this utility model device can accurately measure the radiation noise of the fluid medium in the pipeline.

[0022] 3. The device of this utility model adopts a fan-shaped plate fixing structure, which can fit well with the surface of the pipeline and improve the stability of the device fixing.

[0023] 4. The detection method adopted in this utility model can realize centralized operation and control, visualize the measurement results, and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a pipeline inspection device includes a clamping and fixing bracket for the pipeline 1, a vibrator 3, a shielding box 2, a radiated noise tester 6, and a control box 7. The clamping and fixing bracket for the pipeline 1 includes sector plates 8, telescopic rods 9, and connecting plates 4. Two sets of sector plates 8 are arranged parallel to each other along the axial direction of the pipeline 1. The shielding box 2 is fixed between the upper and lower sector plates 8 on one side, and the radiated noise tester 6 is fixed between the upper and lower sector plates 8 on the other side. This device can quickly detect the fluid state of the pipeline, avoiding the need to disassemble flanges for pipeline inspection. It is easy to operate, reduces inspection costs, and shortens inspection time.

[0030] Both sets of sector plates 8 have bolt holes 5 at their far ends. The shielding box 2 is fixed between the two sector plates 8 by bolts and bolt holes 5. The radiated noise tester 6 is fixedly connected to the sector plates 8 by bolts and bolt holes 5. Each set of sector plates 8 has a connecting plate 4 at its opposite ends. A telescopic rod 9 connects the opposing sector plates 8, and the telescopic rod 9 is installed in the opening of the connecting plate 4. The telescopic rod 9 consists of two parts connected by a thread, and its length can be adjusted by rotating the thread. The angle of the sector plates 8 can be between 30-60°. The sector plates 8 are arranged in two parallel groups along the pipeline axis. The upper and lower pieces of each group of sector plates 8 are also arranged parallel to each other, with a spacing of approximately 5-8 times the thickness of the sector plate 8. The bolt holes 5 of the four sector plates 8 are arranged on the same plane. The device can fit well with the pipeline surface, improving the stability of the device.

[0031] The vibrator 3 is axially perpendicular to the surface of the pipe 1 and is positioned at the center of the shielding box 2. The shielding box 2 is fan-shaped, with fan-shaped micro-perforated plates arranged radially at equal intervals inside. The outside of the shielding box 2 is uniformly covered with radiating sound-absorbing cotton. The radiated noise tester 6 is square, with one side attached to the pipe wall and the other side fixed to a control box 7. The control box 7 includes a data processor, buttons, and a display screen. The data processor stores the radiated noise intensity measured during the factory production stage of the measuring device when carbon steel or stainless steel pipes of different diameters are injected with different fluids (air, fuel oil, lubricating oil, water) under a fixed excitation force. The buttons include a vibrator on / off control button, a radiated noise tester start / stop button, and a fluid medium type selection button. The display screen shows the measurement results. When the device is in use, the radiated noise generated outside the pipe at the excitation source when the vibrator 3 applies excitation force to the pipe can be shielded by the shielding box 2. The micro-perforated plates and sound-absorbing cotton can absorb the radiated noise at the excitation source, preventing interference with the test results of the radiated noise tester. The radiated noise tester 6 can accurately measure the radiated noise of the fluid medium in the pipe. It can achieve centralized control of the vibrator 3 and the radiated noise tester 6, as well as the processing and display of test data.

[0032] A method for testing a pipeline testing device includes the following steps:

[0033] Step 1: Use an acoustic camera or vibration noise tester in an anechoic chamber to measure the radiated noise intensity of carbon steel pipes or stainless steel pipes of different diameters when different fluids are injected into them under a fixed excitation force. The fluids are air, fuel oil, lubricating oil or water. Store the measurement results in the data processor of control box 7.

[0034] Step 2: Adjust the length of the telescopic rod 9 so that the clamping and fixing bracket of the pipeline 1 can be stably fixed on the surface of the pipeline being tested;

[0035] Step 3: Use the fluid medium selection button on the control box 7 to select the type of fluid medium in the pipeline to be tested, and switch the data processor to the corresponding fluid detection range;

[0036] Step 4: Operate the switch button of the vibrator 3 on the control box 7. The vibrator 3 provides excitation force to the pipeline 1, and the radiated noise tester 6 starts to synchronously detect the radiated noise intensity. When the output signal of the radiated noise tester 6 is consistent with the detection range of the data processor, the display screen on the control box 7 shows "qualified", indicating that the fluid medium selected before the test is the medium to be measured. When the output signal of the radiated noise tester 6 is inconsistent with the detection range of the data processor, the display screen on the control box 7 shows "alarm status", indicating that the fluid medium selected before the test is not the medium to be measured.

[0037] This invention enables rapid detection of fluid conditions in pipelines, eliminating the need to disassemble flanges for inspection. It simplifies operation, reduces troubleshooting costs and time, and prevents fluid spillage during flange removal, thus avoiding pollution of the ship's environment. The radiated noise meter provides accurate measurement of radiated noise from the fluid medium in the pipeline. This device allows for centralized operation and control, visualized measurement results, and ease of use. It is not limited to detecting vertically arranged pipelines as shown in the attached diagram; it is also applicable to horizontally arranged pipelines. Furthermore, this device is not limited to pipeline inspection on ships; it is suitable for pipeline inspection in other fields as well.
