Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pipeline positioning technology, and more specifically, to a pressure pipeline positioning and detection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the architecture of modern industrial and urban infrastructure, pressure pipelines play a central role in natural gas transmission systems, and their safety and reliability form an indispensable cornerstone for the stable operation of the entire system. However, with the continuous expansion of pipeline networks and the increasing complexity of their structures, accurate and efficient positioning and inspection of pipelines has become increasingly challenging.
[0003] Currently, traditional pipeline location and inspection methods, such as those relying on blueprints for comparison, are often limited by environmental changes and human interference. This not only leads to insufficient positioning accuracy but also severely impacts the efficiency of the inspection work. Although advanced pipeline inspection devices based on principles such as ultrasound and electromagnetic waves have emerged within the existing technological framework, these devices still exhibit numerous limitations in practical applications. In particular, ultrasonic inspection devices, while renowned for their high-precision detection capabilities, still require manual inspection to assist in locating the pipeline during actual operation. They cannot achieve automatic pipeline tracking and location inspection, which undoubtedly increases labor costs and time consumption, making the inspection process both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this application provides a pressure pipeline positioning and detection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A pressure pipeline positioning and detection device includes an ultrasonic detector, which is fixedly mounted on a support mechanism. The support mechanism has a hole on its surface, and a data receiver and transmitter and a control calculator are respectively installed at both ends. The inside of the hole is connected to the output end of the ultrasonic detector. The data receiver and transmitter and the control calculator are electrically connected to each other. Two moving mechanisms are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the support mechanism, and each mechanism has its own battery at both ends, which is electrically connected to the data receiver and transmitter, the control calculator, and the two moving mechanisms.
[0006] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a base, two side plates, and a protective mechanism. The base has batteries at both ends inside and holes on its surface, and the ultrasonic detector, the data receiver and transmitter, and the control calculator are fixedly installed thereon. The tops of the two side plates are integrally formed with the two ends of the base, and the side walls have threaded holes, which are fixed to the two moving mechanisms with bolts. The inner end of the protective mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the base.
[0007] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes a connecting rod and a crash plate. The two ends of the connecting rod are integrally formed with one end of the outer wall of the base and the inner wall of the crash plate, respectively. The two ends of the crash plate are arc-shaped.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the control calculator is provided with a protective cover, and the bottom end of the protective cover is fixed to one end of the surface of the base with screws.
[0009] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes an inner plate, two motors, two rollers, several protrusions, a track, several grooves, four auxiliary wheels, several auxiliary blocks, and an outer plate. The outer wall of the inner plate is bolted to the outer wall of the side plate, and two motors are fixedly installed at both ends of the inner plate. The two motors are electrically connected to batteries at both ends of the base, and their output ends are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two rollers. The outer walls of the two rollers are integrally formed with several protrusions at equal intervals. Several grooves are equally spaced on the surface of the track, and several auxiliary blocks are installed inside the track and mounted on the two rollers. The protrusions and grooves are mutually locked and corresponding. The four auxiliary wheels are connected to bearings on the inner wall of the inner plate, and their outer walls are locked and corresponding to the several auxiliary blocks inside the track.

[0010] Furthermore, the track surface is provided with several irregular protrusions, which are arranged in two rows.
[0011] Furthermore, a camera is mounted on the surface of the connecting rod, and the camera is electrically connected to the control calculator and the batteries built into both ends inside the base.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model utilizes an ultrasonic detector mounted on a device integrating a support mechanism, a data receiver and transmitter, a control calculator, and two moving mechanisms. Based on the ultrasonic detector's readings, and through the coordinated operation of the data receiver and transmitter and the control calculator, the movement direction of the two moving mechanisms is controlled, thereby achieving automatic positioning and detection of pressure pipelines. This eliminates the need for manual inspection, significantly reducing labor costs and improving detection efficiency. This automated and intelligent design makes the detection process smoother and more efficient, making it particularly suitable for large-scale, complex pipeline network environments.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Example: Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A pressure pipeline positioning and detection device includes an ultrasonic detector 1, which is securely mounted on a support mechanism 2 and plays a central role in the detection process. It emits ultrasonic signals in a frequency range imperceptible to the human ear (above 20,000 Hz), thus serving as a highly efficient detection medium. By utilizing the reflection of ultrasonic waves and the time difference between the reflected and received echoes, the device can accurately measure the distance to be measured, thereby revealing the pipeline's location and internal structural features in detail. This design not only improves the accuracy of the detection but also provides valuable information for a deeper understanding of the pipeline's condition.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 An ultrasonic detector 1 is fixedly mounted on a support mechanism 2. The support mechanism 2 has a hole 3 on its surface, with a data receiver and transmitter 4 and a control calculator 5 installed at each end. The hole 3 is connected to the output end of the ultrasonic detector 1. The data receiver and transmitter 4 and the control calculator 5 are electrically connected to each other. Two moving mechanisms 6 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the outer wall of the support mechanism 2, each with its own battery at both ends, and electrically connected to the data receiver and transmitter 4, the control calculator 5, and the two moving mechanisms 6. The support mechanism 2 includes a base 21, two side plates 22, and a protective mechanism 23. The protective mechanism 23 includes a connecting rod 231 and a crash plate 232. The control calculator 5 has a protective cover 51 on its outer wall. The moving mechanism 6 includes an inner plate 61, two motors 62, two rollers 63, several protrusions 64, a track 65, several grooves 66, four auxiliary wheels 67, several auxiliary blocks 68, and an outer plate 69. A camera 7 is mounted on the surface of the connecting rod 231.
[0021] The support mechanism 2, serving as the basic framework of the entire device, not only provides a stable mounting platform for the ultrasonic detector 1 but also integrates key components such as the battery, data receiver and transmitter 4, and control calculator 5. It also features a connection interface with the moving mechanism 6, ensuring the integrity and functionality of the device. The base 21, the main body of the support mechanism 2, is made of robust and durable materials to ensure the stability and durability of the device. The base 21 has built-in battery compartments at both ends for installing batteries to provide power to the entire device. The ultrasonic detector 1, data receiver and transmitter 4, and control calculator 5 are fixedly mounted on the base 21. These components are interconnected through internal circuitry to achieve data acquisition, processing, and transmission. Two side plates 22 are located on either side of the base 21, integrally formed with it, enhancing the overall strength of the support mechanism 2. The side plates 22 have threaded holes for bolted connection to the moving mechanism 6, facilitating disassembly. The inner end of the protective mechanism 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the base 21, protecting the device's critical components from environmental damage.
[0022] The protective mechanism 23, as an important component of the support mechanism 2, effectively prevents collisions and scratches during the movement of the device. The connecting rod 231 is the main supporting structure of the protective mechanism 23, with its two ends integrally formed with one end of the outer wall of the base 21 and the inner wall of the anti-collision plate 232, ensuring the stability and robustness of the structure. The design of the connecting rod 231 considers a balance between strength and rigidity to ensure that it can effectively absorb and disperse energy when subjected to external impact, protecting the device from damage. The anti-collision plate 232 is located at the outer end of the connecting rod 231 and is integrally formed with it, forming a sturdy protective barrier. The ends of the anti-collision plate 232 are arc-shaped, a design that is not only aesthetically pleasing but, more importantly, reduces the risk of damage. The anti-collision plate 232 is made of wear-resistant and impact-resistant materials, such as high-strength plastics or alloys, to ensure good protective performance and service life.
[0023] Hole 3 is located on the surface of base 21 and is used for the transmission of ultrasonic signals.
[0024] The data receiver and transmitter 4, control calculator 5, and ultrasonic detector 1 are integrated to form the pipeline positioning and detection system. This system is electrically connected to the batteries integrated into both ends of the base 21, ensuring that the entire detection device can operate normally without an external power source. The data receiver and transmitter 4 receives data collected by the ultrasonic detector 1 in real time and transmits it quickly and accurately to the control calculator 5 for processing. This process ensures the real-time nature and accuracy of the data, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent pipeline positioning and analysis. The control calculator 5, as the core processing unit of the system, is responsible for processing the received ultrasonic data and analyzing the structural characteristics and potential problems inside the pipeline. More importantly, the control calculator 5 is also connected to the motor 62, enabling it to control the start and stop of the motor 62 in real time based on the processing results. This design allows the device to automatically move and adjust according to the actual position of the pipeline, greatly improving detection efficiency and accuracy.
[0025] The protective cover 51 provides additional protection for the control calculator, preventing damage or interference in complex environments. Made of robust and durable materials, the cover is rationally designed, compact, and easy to install. Secured with screws, the cover 51 is fixed to the surface of the base 21, covering the outer wall of the control calculator 5 and providing comprehensive protection. This design effectively prevents external substances such as dust and moisture from corroding the control calculator 5, and also improves its stability and durability in complex environments.
[0026] The moving mechanism 6, based on the pipeline positioning and detection system, enables the device to move automatically. The inner plate 61, serving as the main support structure of the moving mechanism 6, has its outer wall bolted to the outer wall of the side plate 22, ensuring the stability and robustness of the moving mechanism 6. Two motors 62 are fixedly installed at both ends inside the inner plate 61, electrically connected to the battery inside the base 21, providing power to the moving mechanism 6. The output ends of the motors 62 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rollers 63, driving the rollers 63 to rotate. The two rollers 63, as the main components for the transmission of the track 65, have several protrusions 64 integrally formed at equal intervals on their outer walls. These protrusions 64 engage with and correspond to the grooves 66 on the track 65, ensuring stable movement of the track 65 under the drive of the rollers 63. The protrusions 64 and grooves 66 are designed to increase the friction between the rollers 63 and the track 65, preventing the track 65 from slipping during transmission. In addition, the track 65 surface is provided with several irregular protrusions 651 arranged in two rows to increase the friction between the track 65 and the ground, thereby improving the grip and stability of the moving mechanism 6. Four auxiliary wheels 67 are connected to bearings on the inner wall of the inner plate 61, and their outer walls engage with auxiliary blocks 68 integrated into the track 65. The auxiliary wheels 67 are designed to support the track 65, reduce the load on the rollers 63, and improve the flexibility and stability of the moving mechanism 6. The outer plate 69 serves as the external protective structure of the moving mechanism 6, with connecting columns at both ends of its inner wall and bearings that are inserted and fixed to the other ends of the inner walls of the two rollers 63. The design of the outer plate 69 not only protects the internal structure of the moving mechanism 6 but also improves the durability and safety of the entire device. The automatic movement of this device is achieved through the combination of various elements, including a motor 63 driving rollers 63, rollers 63 driving tracks 65, and auxiliary wheels 67 providing support. In particular, the irregular protrusions 651 on the surface of the tracks 65 effectively improve the grip and stability of the moving mechanism 6, enabling it to cope with various complex geographical environments. This design not only improves detection efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity and safety risks for operators.
[0027] Among them, camera 7, as an important visual acquisition device, not only enhances the functionality of the device but also provides operators with a more intuitive and accurate indication of whether there are any obstructions in the direction of movement. Through its electrical connection with the control calculator 5 and the battery, camera 7 can transmit image data in real time, providing operators with intuitive and accurate visual feedback.
[0028] The data receiver and transmitter 4 uses existing technology to receive and transmit ultrasonic signals, and the controller 5 can be a microcontroller, such as a low-power STM32 microcontroller.
[0029] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the ultrasonic detector 1, data receiver and transmitter 4, control calculator 5, camera 7, motor 62, and track 65 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0030] The power supply and operating principles of the ultrasonic detector 1, data receiver and transmitter 4, control calculator 5, camera 7, and motor 62 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
