Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of pipe interior detecting method and device, be specifically related to a kind of localization method and navigation system of long conveyance pipe defect.
Background technique
The oil gas long distance pipeline produces burn into influence operation or even jeopardizes environment through operation for many years.Whether therefore, need regularly to detect Corrosion of Pipeline and distortion situation from pipe interior, and information such as the position of record corrosion, the degree of depth, area, the technician carries out the integrity evaluation according to testing result, judge to need repairing or change.
At present, adopt following method to determine the corrosion position that long distance pipeline is interior both at home and abroad usually:
(1) position information of utilizing wheeled odometer to provide is determined the position of corrosion on the conduit axis direction.Its principle is that detection device advances in pipeline, and wheeled odometer contacts with inner tube wall, determines defective locations by all numbers of measuring the odometer rotation.The problem that this method exists is: integrating error are big.Because the precision of odometer has only 1-2 ‰, detect the long distance pipeline of 20km, the defect location error can reach more than the 20m.And, also do not consider the error increase that wheeled odometer skids or dallies and causes.Therefore, only utilize wheeled odometer to be difficult to satisfy the requirement that engineering is used.When only adopting wheeled odometer, system layout mainly as shown in Figure 1 (can be referring to denomination of invention: intelligent detector for submarine pipeline; Patent publication No.: CN1828219A).Wheeled odometer working procedure: when detection system is advanced in pipeline, wheeled odometer and tube wall frictional rotation, the stepping information of rotating is by the record of the counting device in the casing and be real-time transmitted to upper-position unit, ultrasonic measurement data sync packing storage with sending upper-position unit simultaneously to provides defective axial position information during for data analysis.
The ultrasonic measurement data are used for determining that the wall thickness of tested pipeline is so that determine whether to exist corrosion thinning according to the wall thickness change situation.Generally by the ultrasonic probe emission ultrasound of lining up several row, receive the repeatedly reflection supersonic wave from inner-walls of duct and outer wall simultaneously, the ultrasonic signal that ultrasonic probe receives is converted into voltage signal and is gathered in real time and be transferred to upper-position unit by acquisition system and is further processed.
(2) overseas utilization is arranged a series of magnetic devices outside pipeline, detection device in pipe by the time utilize detection device to carry magnetic inductor write down successively by the time and the number of magnetic devices of layout in advance, utilize this information to calibrate the information of having the records of distance by the log of wheeled odometer, and then solve the integrating error problem of wheeled odometer.The problem that this method exists is: require pipeline that magnetic devices is installed in process of deployment; Otherwise needs are cleared up the mud of embedded pipe and are made mounting cost huge.And the number that magnetic devices is installed is limited, and spacing is big, is difficult to significantly improve Location accuracy.Simultaneously, maintaining work is also relatively more difficult.In addition, if section of tubing is multiple pipe, magnetic devices must be transformed to guarantee penetrability.
