Piezoelectric ultrasonic internal detection probe assembly for long-distance pipeline
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of nondestructive test, especially, relate to a test probe subassembly in piezoelectricity ultrasonic wave of long distance pipeline.
Background
Long distance pipes have very wide applications, such as: with the development of the oil and gas industry and the increasing industrial energy demand, the oil and gas transportation pipelines in China develop rapidly, and long-distance pipelines become important transportation means for transporting oil, gas and other energy.
The long distance pipeline is because the peripheral geographical environment of pipeline can lead to the fact the corruption to the pipe wall at the operation in-process, when corroding to certain stage, thereby the pipeline can cause the stress corrosion production crackle of corrosion zone under external and pipeline internal pressure effect, and the crackle on the pipe wall is extended to certain extent and will be caused revealing, causes the threat to the national property and the life safety around the pipeline. In order to ensure the operation safety of the long-distance pipeline, the pipeline is required to be periodically detected so as to find problems in time, measures are taken to prevent major accidents, and the corrosion and the cracks of the pipeline wall are determined and maintained in time to become necessary measures for pipeline maintenance.
Because most of the long-distance pipeline is buried underground, operators on the ground are difficult to contact the pipeline, so that the conventional detection method is difficult to realize the regular inspection of the pipeline, and the main application tool for the regular detection of the long-distance pipeline is an in-pipeline detection device or a pipeline pig in common. The detection device is a closed system which is similar to a space capsule, can automatically detect and store data and is powered by a battery, and is internally provided with an electronic capsule probe device and a data storage unit. The system is pushed by the flowing of a pipeline conveying medium (oil gas) in the pipeline, the pipeline passing through the system is detected in an all-directional mode, and the device to be detected runs for a certain distance (generally, the distance between two sub-conveying stations is larger than or equal to 100 kilometers) in the pipeline and then is taken out from the sub-conveying stations at the downstream. The data stored by the detection device are read on the ground by service personnel and processed, so that the basic detection condition of the passing pipeline is given and the result is analyzed.
The detection In the pipeline mainly comprises three types, the first type is a pipeline magnetic leakage detection device, and the detection can be seen In a mechanical system of a high-definition pipeline magnetic leakage detection device (application number 200710118862.4) and an In-line Inspection Tool (US20180106762A 1); the second is a pipeline electromagnetic ultrasonic detection device, which can be seen In 'In-line electrophoresis tool for pipeline integration testing (US8479577B 2)'; the third is a piezoelectric ultrasonic internal detection device. The piezoelectric ultrasonic internal detection device is mainly used for detecting pipelines for long-distance conveying of liquid media (mainly crude oil or product oil), and comprises an ultrasonic corrosion internal detection device and an ultrasonic crack internal detection device.
The ultrasonic detection method for petroleum pipelines and a robot for detection (application number 200510130338.X) disclose the technology of an ultrasonic probe of a rotary probe for real-time detection in the pipelines, but the method can be implemented only under the condition of extremely low detection speed because the selection and grabbing speed cannot keep up with the moving speed of a detection device, and the amplitude of an ultrasonic signal is influenced because the rotary probe has a centering problem with the pipe wall due to vibration and the like. "Apparatus for and Method of Pipeline interpretation (US20130025370A 1)", discloses the grouping and combination of probes into a square probe shoe. In the method, the probes are directly incident when corrosion detection is carried out, so that no influence is caused among the probes. However, in real-time crack detection, because the probes adopt oblique incidence, if the probes are still gathered in such a small space, mutual interference of sound fields among the probes can be caused. Meanwhile, when the downstream ultrasonic detection device performs detection, an operator needs to respectively send an ultrasonic corrosion internal detection device and an ultrasonic crack internal detection device to the pipeline to complete all-dimensional detection of the pipeline, namely, the detection needs to be completed twice.

As the detection device travels, the distance between the vibrating probe of the detection device and the inner surface of the pipe, i.e., the lift distance, changes. The time of arrival of the reflected echo changes as the lift-off distance changes. The detection window shutter provided by the data processing unit is accordingly changed. For the corrosion detection probe, the probe directly enters the pipe wall to receive stable interfacial waves, and a detection window gate is correspondingly arranged according to the arrival time of the interfacial waves. In addition, because the crack detection probe obliquely enters the ultrasonic wave to the pipe wall, the interfacial wave reflected from the pipe wall belongs to diffuse reflection, the amplitude and the shape are unstable, and the crack detection probe is not favorable for being used as a judgment basis for the lifting distance between the pipe wall and the crack detection probe. Therefore, the utility model discloses a method of two crack detection probes relative incidence has been adopted. Each probe can receive interface reflected waves transmitted from the other probe, the amplitude and the shape of the reflected waves are stable, the processing problem of tracking and detecting the gate is solved, and the stability of crack detection is greatly improved.
