Description

A Raschig ring filling device for acetylene pipeline joint and its use method

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of pipeline filling equipment, and in particular to a Raschig ring filling device for an acetylene pipeline joint and a use method thereof.

Background Art

"Main and sub-pipe filling" generally refers to a structural design with two pipes of different diameters. As shown in FIG2 , several pipes with smaller diameters (sub-pipes 200) are filled and welded inside a pipe with a larger diameter (main pipe 100). This design is widely used in the industrial field, such as the transportation of fluids, including liquids, gases, etc.

At the end of the filling pipe, there is usually a certain space between the end of the sub-pipe 200 and the end of the mother pipe 100. When the two filling pipes are butt-jointed, a Raschig ring is filled in the gap at the joint as a filler, which can not only reduce the pressure drop at the pipe joint, thereby maintaining the overall flow efficiency of the pipe system, but also improve the corrosion resistance of the joint, and at the same time has the effect of improving the mechanical strength, etc.

Especially for pipelines that transport gases such as acetylene, since flammable and explosive gases such as acetylene have high requirements for stability during transportation, in order to prevent leakage at the pipeline joint or external gas infiltration, it is necessary to use Raschig rings to improve the stability of the transportation channel;

At present, most of the Raschig rings are filled into the ends of the pipes by manual filling before the pipes are butt-jointed. Since manual filling requires a certain operating space, there is a certain distance between the butt ends of the two pipes. When the two pipes are close to each other for butt-jointing, the Raschig rings are easy to scatter, and the filling amount at the joint will be less than the planned filling amount, which brings inconvenience to actual use.

Based on this, the present invention is proposed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the term "and/or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and/or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the Raschig ring filling device at the joint of the acetylene pipeline includes: a first protective shell 1, a first cover shell 2, a second cover shell 3 and a driving mechanism 4. The number of the first protective shells 1 is two, and the two first protective shells 1 are arranged up and down and symmetrically arranged with each other. The two first protective shells 1 are hollow cavities, and the opposite sides of the two first protective shells 1 are open. The number of the first cover shells 2 is two, and the two first cover shells 2 are symmetrically arranged with each other. The number of the second cover shells 3 is two, and the two second cover shells 3 are symmetrically arranged with each other. The two first cover shells 2 correspond to the positions of the two second cover shells 3 respectively, and the two first cover shells 2 and the two second cover shells 3 are located between the two first protective shells 1. The first arc cover plate 21 and the second arc cover plate 31 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3. The length of the first arc cover plate 21 is greater than that of the second arc cover plate 31. When the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 at corresponding positions are in contact with each other, the first arc cover plate 21 and the second arc cover plate 31 can enclose a cylindrical space, and the end of the pipe to be filled is placed on the first arc cover plate 21, and the outer wall of the pipe is fitted with the first arc cover plate 21, as shown in Figure 7. Since the first arc cover plate 21 is longer than the second arc cover plate 31, the space below the end of the pipe is closed at this time, and the upper space is left with space connected to the outside world. The outer wall of the second cover shell 3 is provided with a discharge port 32, the position of which can correspond to the port of the pipeline to be filled, and an electric valve 33 is installed on the discharge port 32. The electric valve is an existing device. In this embodiment, the Q941F model is selected. Two barrels 12 are installed on the upper surface of the first protective shell 1 located on the upper side. The barrel 12 is connected to the discharge port 32 through a bellows 13. The barrel 12 is filled with Raschig ring fillers. The particle size of the Raschig ring fillers is selected to be larger than the diameter of the sub-tube 200 in the pipeline to prevent the Raschig rings from entering the sub-tube 200. The bellows 13 is an existing device, which is a tubular material with a wavy cross-section. In this embodiment, a plastic material is selected, which has the properties of stretching and deformation. When the discharge port 32 moves with the second cover shell 3, it can be deformed according to demand without being damaged. Opening the electric valve 33 can ensure that the Raschig rings in the barrel 12 are discharged through the bellows 13 and the discharge port 32, and closing the electric valve 33 stops the discharge.

There are two driving mechanisms 4, which are respectively arranged in the two first protective shells 1. The driving mechanism 4 can drive the two first cover shells 2 to approach each other and then move into the bottom first protective shell 1. At the same time, the two second cover shells 3 can be driven to approach each other and then move into the top first protective shell 1.

Referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 , the drive mechanism 4 is introduced. The drive mechanism 4 includes a first guide plate 41, a first guide groove 4101, a second guide plate 42, a second guide groove 4201, a slide bar 43, a moving block 44 and a first lead screw 45. There are two first guide plates 41. The two first guide plates 41 are mounted on the inner wall of the first protective shell 1 and the two first guide plates 41 are symmetrically arranged. The first guide groove 4101 is arranged on the first guide plate 41. The first guide groove 4101 is arranged in an L shape, that is, it is divided into two parts: a horizontal section and a vertical section. There are two second guide plates 42. The two second guide plates 42 are respectively fitted with the two first guide plates 41. The second guide groove 4201 is arranged on the second guide plate 42 and the second guide groove 4201 is arranged obliquely. The slide bar 43 passes through the first guide groove 4101 and the second guide groove 4201. When the second guide plate 42 moves, the slide bar 43 slides in the horizontal section of the first guide groove 4101. During this process, the relative position of the slide bar 43 and the second guide groove 4201 remains unchanged. When the slide bar 43 moves to the connection between the horizontal section and the vertical section of the first guide groove 4101, under the common limiting action of the first guide groove 4101 and the second guide groove 4201, the slide bar 43 slides toward the vertical section and also slides in the second guide groove 4201, so that the slide bar 43 moves to the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1. In this embodiment, the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 are respectively connected to the slide bar 43 corresponding to the position, thereby ensuring that the movement of the slide bar 43 drives the movement of the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3; wherein the cross-sectional shape of the slide bar 43 is rectangular, and the side length is adapted to the width of the first guide groove 4101 and the second guide groove 4201, which can prevent the slide bar 43 from rotating during the movement process. There are two moving blocks 44, which are respectively mounted on the two second guide plates 42. The first lead screw 45 is threadedly connected to the two moving blocks 44, and the threads on both sides of the first lead screw 45 are symmetrically arranged. When the first lead screw 45 rotates, it can drive the two moving blocks 44 to move away from or closer to each other synchronously.

In this embodiment, the two first guide plates 41 are positioned in correspondence to ensure that the two first shells 2 are fitted on opposite sides when they move toward the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1. The thickness of the outer wall of the two first shells 2 on opposite sides is 1.5 mm. After the two are fitted, the ends of the two pipes to be filled are manually fitted on the vertical surface of the first shell 2. When the first shell 2 is moved into the first protective shell 1, the distance between the two ends of the pipes is 3 mm, which meets the reserved seam width for welding.

In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 in this embodiment, two mutually symmetrical auxiliary guide plates 46 are also provided in the driving mechanism 4, and the two auxiliary guide plates 46 correspond to the positions of the two first guide plates 41 respectively. The auxiliary guide plate 46 also has a first guide groove 4101, and the direction of the first guide groove 4101 is the same as that of the first guide groove 4101 on the first guide plate 41. A slide bar 43 is installed in the first guide groove 4101 provided on the auxiliary guide plate 46, and the slide bar 43 located in the bottom first protective shell 1 is connected to the first cover shell 2, and the slide bar 43 located in the top first protective shell 1 is connected to the second cover shell 3.

In order to start the two driving mechanisms synchronously, the following scheme is proposed: Referring to Figure 3, the outer walls of the two first protective shells 1 are installed with a second protective shell 5, the second protective shell 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the two first protective shells 1, and the second protective shell 5 and the two first protective shells 1 are fixed to each other and form a whole. The inner cavity of the second protective shell 5 is rotatably installed with a rotating rod 6, and two first gears 7 are installed on the rotating rod 6. The outer wall of the second protective shell 5 is installed with a first motor 9, and the output end of the first motor 9 extends into the inner cavity of the second protective shell 5 and is connected to the rotating rod 6. Turning on the first motor 9 can drive the two first gears 7 to rotate synchronously. A first bevel gear 8 is provided on the first lead screw 45, and a second bevel gear 10 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1, and the second bevel gear 10 is meshed with the first bevel gear 8. A second gear 11 is installed on the second bevel gear 10, and the second gear 11 is meshed with the first gear 7. When the two first gears 7 rotate synchronously, the two second gears 11 can be driven to rotate respectively. At this time, the rotation of the two second bevel gears 10 can drive the two first bevel gears 8 to rotate. In this embodiment, the two first gears 7 rotate synchronously in the same direction, which eventually leads to opposite rotation directions of the two first lead screws 45. Therefore, the spiral directions of the corresponding parts on the two first lead screws 45 are set in opposite directions, thereby ensuring that the moving directions of the moving blocks 44 on the two first lead screws 45 remain synchronized.

The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the pipeline is placed using an external support frame and other equipment, so that the end of the pipeline is placed in the space enclosed by the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3, and the end of the pipeline is ensured not to contact the second cover shell 3, the electric valve 33 is opened, and the Raschig ring in the barrel 12 is sent into the end of the pipeline and the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 through the bellows 13 and the discharge port 32, and the electric valve 33 is closed after the discharge is completed, and then the end of the pipeline is manually fitted with the vertical surface of the first cover shell 2, so that the Raschig ring is completely filled into the inner cavity of the pipeline. The first motor 9 is turned on to drive the two first gears 7 and the rotating rod 6 to rotate together, and the meshing of the first gear 7 and the second gear 11 can make the two second gears 11 each drive the second bevel gear 10 to rotate synchronously, and the meshing of the second bevel gear 10 can make the two first bevel gears 8 drive the corresponding first lead screw 45 to rotate. In conjunction with Figures 10 and 11, when the first lead screw 45 rotates, the two moving blocks 44 screwed thereto approach each other, thereby driving the two second guide plates 42 to approach each other, and at this time, the slide bar 43 slides in the horizontal section of the first guide groove 4101. During this process, the relative position of the slide bar 43 and the second guide groove 4201 remains unchanged. When the slide bar 43 moves to the connection between the horizontal section and the vertical section in the first guide groove 4101, under the joint limiting action of the first guide groove 4101 and the second guide groove 4201, the slide bar 43 slides toward the vertical section, and also slides in the second guide groove 4201, so that the slide bar 43 drives the first cover shell 2 or the second cover shell 3 connected thereto to move into the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1. During this process, when the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 move horizontally, the staff manually pushes the pipe so that the end of the pipe does not separate from the vertical surface of the first cover shell 2.

This embodiment can realize the automatic merging and separation of the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3, ensure that during the process of pipe filling, the end of the pipe can be kept in a semi-closed state, avoid the scattering of Raschig rings, and ensure that the actual filling amount is equal to the planned filling amount. At the same time, the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 can be automatically evacuated, and the minimum spacing of the pipes during evacuation can be matched with the width requirements of the welding seam. At the same time, the equipment adopts mechanical structure linkage, relies only on a single driving source, has high precision and stable operation.

When the two pipes are filled and contact and their positions correspond, welding can be carried out. In order to ensure the relative stability of the two pipes during welding, the following scheme is proposed. Referring to Figures 1 and 4-6, a positioning mechanism 14 is installed on the outer wall of the first protective shell 1. The number of the positioning mechanisms 14 is four, and the four positioning mechanisms 14 are symmetrically arranged relative to the two first protective shells 1, and the positioning mechanisms 14 corresponding to the upper and lower positions are symmetrically arranged with each other. The two positioning mechanisms 14 corresponding in the upper and lower directions cooperate with each other to position the outer wall of the pipe. When the end of a pipe to be filled is located between the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3, the ends of the two positioning mechanisms 14 on the opposite side are cocircular and coaxial with the pipe. When the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 move horizontally and then move longitudinally to enter the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1, the two positioning mechanisms 14 corresponding to the upper and lower positions automatically and synchronously approach and clamp the pipe to achieve the positioning of the pipe.

The positioning mechanism 14 is introduced below with reference to Figures 4 to 6. The positioning mechanism 14 includes a mounting frame 141, a slide 142, a push block 143, a positioning arm 144, a limiting groove 145, a driving frame 146 and an oil pipe 147. The mounting frame 141 is fixedly mounted on the first protective shell 1. There are two slides 142, and the two slides 142 are symmetrically arranged relative to the mounting frame 141. The push block 143 is installed in the slide 142, and the positioning arm 144 is installed at the bottom of the push block 143. The bottom end of the positioning arm 144 is arranged in an arc shape and is cocircular. The circle is concentric with the axis of the pipeline after the pipeline is placed. The slide 142, the push block 143 and the positioning arm 144 are arranged to be inclined along the radial direction of the circle where the bottom end arc of the positioning arm 144 is located, thereby ensuring that the moving direction of the push block 143 and the positioning arm 144 is along the radial direction of the circle. The limiting groove 145 is set on the push block 143, and the driving frame 146 is installed in the limiting groove 145. As shown in FIG6 , the two ends of the driving frame 146 are inclined, and the inclination direction is perpendicular to the push block 143. When the driving frame 146 moves downward, under the limiting cooperation of the slideway 142, the two push blocks 143 move downward and approach inward at the same time, and the direction is the radial direction of the circle where the bottom arc of the positioning arm 144 is located, so that the bottom ends of the two positioning arms 144 can fit the outer wall of the pipeline at the same time. When the positioning mechanisms 14 corresponding to the upper and lower positions are opened together, a pipeline can be clamped.

The oil pipe 147 is connected to the driving frame 146. The oil pipe 147 passes through the outer wall of the first protective shell 1, ensuring that the two ends of the oil pipe 147 are respectively located at the inner and outer sides of the first protective shell 1. The oil pipe 147 includes a first branch pipe 1471 and a second branch pipe 1472, which are respectively installed at the two ends of the oil pipe 147, and the inner cavities of the oil pipe 147, the first branch pipe 1471 and the second branch pipe 1472 are connected. The first branch pipe 1471 and the second branch pipe 1472 are perpendicular to the oil pipe 147. The first branch pipe 1471 and the second branch pipe 1472 are respectively installed with sealing sheets 148. The inner cavities of the oil pipe 147, the first branch pipe 1471 and the second branch pipe 1472 and the space between the two sealing sheets 148 are filled with hydraulic oil. The first branch pipe 1471 and the second branch pipe 1472 are also respectively installed with pistons 149, and the pistons 149 pass through the sealing sheets 148. The pistons 149 are combined with the inner walls of the first branch pipe 1471 and the second branch pipe 1472 to ensure good air tightness between the two. Since the hydraulic oil is incompressible, when one piston 149 moves, the other piston can be passively moved synchronously by the push of the hydraulic oil. The outer wall of the piston 149 is sleeved with a spring 1410, which is installed between the sealing sheet 148 and the piston 149. When the piston 149 moves passively, it can stretch or compress the spring 1410. When the external force is removed, the piston 149 can be reset by the tension or elastic force of the spring 1410.

In addition, a slide groove 1411 is provided on the outer wall of the first branch pipe 1471, and a push piece 1412 is installed on the piston 149 in the first branch pipe 1471. An extension rod 1413 is installed on the push piece 1412, and the extension rod 1413 passes through the slide groove 1411. A through groove 1414 is provided on the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3, respectively, and the width of the through groove 1414 is the same as the diameter of the push piece 1412. The bottom end of the piston 149 in the second branch pipe 1472 is connected to the driving frame 146. When the first cover shell 2 moves downward or the second cover shell 3 moves upward and enters the inner cavity of the corresponding first protective shell 1, the first branch pipe 1471 passes through the through groove 1414. At the same time, the extension rod 1413 is pushed by the limit of the outer wall of the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3, so that the push piece 1412 drives the piston 149 to move, and the stability of the extension rod 1413 and the push piece 1412 is ensured by the limit of the slide groove 1411.

The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 corresponding to the upper and lower positions finish lateral movement and begin to longitudinally enter the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1 respectively opposite to each other, the through groove 1414 corresponds to the first branch pipe 1471. As the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 each move a certain distance, the extension rod 1413 and the push piece 1412 are pushed to move in the first branch pipe 1471, and the spring 1410 on the outer wall of the piston 149 is stretched, so that the piston 149 located in the first branch pipe 1471 moves and pushes the hydraulic oil to flow, so that the other piston 149 moves in the opposite direction, and the spring 1410 on the piston 149 is compressed, and the driving frame 146 is pushed to move, so that the two push blocks 143 drive the positioning arm 144 to fit the outer wall of the pipeline, so as to clamp the pipeline. When the work is completed, the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 move in the opposite direction in the longitudinal direction for a certain distance, and the piston 149 can be reset under the action of the elastic force or tension of the spring 1410, and the positioning arm 144 is finally reset.

In this embodiment, the two positioning mechanisms 14 corresponding to the upper and lower positions can hold and clamp the pipeline, thereby ensuring that the pipeline does not misalign or shake during welding. At the same time, the positioning mechanism 14 cooperates with the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 to automatically clamp the pipeline after the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 are moved to specific positions. The accuracy and stability of the equipment are improved through the action of the mechanical structure. In addition, the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 can be reset to automatically release the clamping of the pipeline. The operation is simple, no staff participation is required, labor costs are reduced, and work efficiency is improved.

The Raschig ring filling device at the acetylene pipeline joint of this embodiment also includes the following scheme: the bottom of the first protective shell 1 located at the lower side is equipped with a moving part 15. The moving part 15 can realize the overall movement of the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 5. After the pipeline is filled and welded, the pipeline connection can be completely exposed for easy inspection.

9 , the movable part 15 is introduced below. The movable part 15 includes a base 151, a second lead screw 152, a second motor 153, a positioning rod 154 and a moving platform 155. The second lead screw 152 is rotatably mounted on the base 151, the second motor 153 is mounted on the base 151, the output end of the second motor 153 is connected to the second lead screw 152, turning on the second motor 153 can drive the second lead screw 152 to rotate, the moving platform 155 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 152, and when the second lead screw 152 rotates, the moving platform 155 can be driven to move axially along the second lead screw 152, the positioning rod 154 is mounted on the base 151, and the positioning rod 154 passes through the moving platform 155, the positioning rod 154 is used to limit the moving platform 155 to ensure stable movement, and the upper surface of the moving platform 155 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first protective shell 1 located at the lower side. In actual use, the second motor 153 needs to be turned on to drive the second lead screw 152 to rotate, so that the moving platform 155 moves, thereby driving the first protective shell 1 connected thereto to move together.

In this way, the first protective shell 1 can be displaced as a whole, which is convenient for inspection, operation or maintenance of the pipeline.

In addition, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for using a Raschig ring filling device at a joint of an acetylene pipeline, comprising:

Use a bracket or other equipment to place two pipes to be filled horizontally, and ensure that the ends of the two pipes are respectively located between the first cover 2 and the second cover 3;

Open the electric valve 33 to discharge the Raschig rings in the barrel 12 through the bellows 13 and the discharge port 32 to the space between the end of the pipeline and the first housing 2;

Turn on the first motor 9 to drive the first gear 7 and the rotating rod 6 to rotate, and through the transmission of the second gear 11, the second bevel gear 10 and the first bevel gear 8, the first lead screw 45 rotates;

The first lead screw 45 rotates to make the two moving blocks 44 approach each other, so that the two second guide plates 42 slide, and through the cooperation of the slide rod 43, the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 move away from the end of the pipeline respectively;

Push the pipe so that the end of the pipe moves together with the first cover shell 2. When the two first cover shells 2 contact each other, continue to push the pipe so that the end of the pipe fits with the first cover shell 2 and all the Raschig rings enter the inner cavity of the pipe.

The second guide plate 42 continues to slide and move, so that the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 are separated from the contact with the pipeline and move into the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1.

The following steps are also included:

After the first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 enter the inner cavity of the first protective shell 1, they come into contact with the extension rod 1413 and push the extension rod 1413;

The piston 149 in the first branch pipe 1471 moves and pushes the hydraulic oil in the oil pipe 147 into the second branch pipe 1472, while pushing the piston 149 in the second branch pipe 1472;

The piston 149 in the second branch pipe 1472 pushes the driving frame 146 to move, so that the two push blocks 143 connected thereto move toward the pipeline, and finally the positioning arms 144 are attached to the pipeline, and the corresponding positioning arms 144 in the upper and lower directions are attached to the pipeline at the same time to complete the clamping;

The first cover shell 2 and the second cover shell 3 move toward the open side of the first protective shell 1 until they are out of contact with the extension rod 1413 , and the piston 149 is reset by the action of the spring 1410 , thereby resetting the positioning arm 144 .

Through the above steps, the automatic filling of the Raschig ring is realized, which can ensure that the Raschig ring completely fills the space at the connection of the two pipes. At the same time, the two pipes can be positioned synchronously to avoid misalignment during the filling process, thereby improving the accuracy of the Raschig ring filling operation. The overall process is controlled by a mechanical structure, with a high degree of automation, flexibility and safety, and is easy to operate and use.

The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
