Description

无人船载管线维修设备 技术领域
本发明涉及维修用具,特别是海底油气管线维修中由无人船搭载的管线维修设备。
背景技术
插入组件维修是在泄漏部位的管道外安装紧固件-插入组件,达到维修管道泄漏的目的,插入组件维修技术目前已经成熟的应用在陆地和海底油气管道维修作业中,根据插入组件维修技术在海底油气管道的应用情况,目前维修技术中最关键的部件就是海底管道插入组件。插入组件大多制成两半状,使用时用螺栓连接法或焊接法固定到管道上,因此可以分为焊接式和螺栓连接式。焊接式插入组件可以提高修复可靠性,螺栓连接式更方便。
对于我国广大海域海底管道维修,目前采用的方法是针对浅水湾进行水下人工潜水安装维修,而对于深水地区,是将海底管道提到工作船上,在工作船上对管道损害部位进行预处理后直接对管道进行插入组件修复安装。然而对于水域浑浊能见度极低的情况,以上两种方法弊端明显,由于需要安排支持船、人员、维修设备及其他辅助设备到维修现场,并且在完成操作后需要进行支持船、人员、维修设备及其他辅助设备的复原工作,因此需要耗费的时间和经济成本很高。
国内生产厂家的插入组件设备主要应用于陆地油气管道,用作临时维修时可以正常封堵油气管道2-3个月,保证油气在插入组件四周密封处不泄漏,用作永久维修时,可以把插入组件与管道整体焊接在一起。国内生产厂家目前还没有生产用于海底油气管道插入组件设备的,国外海底油气管道家居设备技术比较成熟,随着无人船技术的快速发展,开发一些特殊结构的插入组件搭载到无人船上,在无需人员配备的情况下,采用无人船和维修插入组件以及适当的辅助设备就可以完成海底管线的修复工作,无需将管线提升至无人船上进行预处理,节约时间和经济成本。

首先参考附图,发明将载管线100会受到破裂101的背景下采用优选模式进行说明。假定加压气体从管道上游部分103输送过来,从而如果管道的上游部分103堵塞,连接到管道下游部分105的用户会被切断,除非作出其他供给。所以,附图1所述的情形要求破裂101 周围设置旁路,也就是所述的一对固定件200,每一个固定件在相应的管线部分103和105提供插入其中的塞子,旁路导管107连接到两个固定件上。一般来说,固定件200固定到管道100上,一系列插入工具通过每个固定件用于各自相关的管道部分103和105,按照插入组件使用的顺序,包括切割工具插入组件400(附图6-9),停止器插入组件600(附图11-14)或者可替换的停止器插入组件700(附图15-17),以及完整插塞插入组件800(附图18-22)或者可替换的完整插塞插入组件900(附图23和24)。另外,连续的两个插入组件执行操作之间,探测灯500(附图10)安装在每个固定件200的顶端,从而使得操作者能够看到插入组件执行操作的结果。
首先参见附图2-4,使用固定件机器相关插入组件和配件300-900的第一步是在围绕破裂101的管道100内接头制作的地方安装一个支路鞍座109。由于需要执行的操作对于两个固定件200来说是一样的,这里仅描述其中之一,应当理解对于两个固定件使用同样的结构并执行同样的操作顺序(除非有其他具体说明)。
支路鞍座109是传统被动型,具有一个部分圆柱形鞍座部分111和管道头113,其中的中心线与鞍座部分111的轴线垂直。支路鞍座109通过传统方式安装到管道100上,该方式为使用电烙铁执行焊接操作,通常沿着鞍座部分的轮廓直到鞍座部分111和管道100的截面熔融焊接在一起,焊蚕115所示。由于鞍座管道连接面的熔融,管道头的中线就不会与管道100的中线刚好成90度了。可替换的,固定件200也可以用于有源鞍座,其中自身嵌入发热元件,这样不用使用电烙铁就可以将安作部分焊接到管道上,简单的通过将来自电源的电流施加到支路鞍座内嵌的加热元件即可。
固定件200包括由压缩部分217,219,221和223组成的管状物。部分217,219和221分别都有一个内螺纹上缘225,227和229,并且部分219,221和223具有外螺纹,末端尺寸渐减的231,233和233,这些部件旋入到相应的螺纹缘225,227和229从而形成一个完整高强度的管状物237。O型环239在管状物237的两个连接部分之间,提供了两者之间的压力密封从而使得管状物27保持管线内相遇的气体在一定压力之下,即,最高为100psi。
轴向延伸穿过管状物237的为孔洞241,由部分217,219,221和223的壁组成。孔洞部分217形成的孔洞241的区域具有一个放大的入口区242,尺寸设计成为能够容纳支路鞍座管道头113。一对O型环243和245放在放大的空洞部分241内两个互相平行的凹槽247和249内,保证管状物部分217和支路鞍座109之间的密封性。管状物部分217可以与内部气体种类不同的管状物部分互换,从而容纳有源支路鞍座的管道头。
穿过由管状物部分221形成的孔洞241部分为一个闸门阀251,其作用是将孔洞241分 成上部腔室和下部腔室,即隔压区域241a和241b。管状物部分221形成鼓装配件253的轮毂,鼓装配件的功能是覆盖处于打开状态的闸门阀251,如图5所示。鼓装配件253由上端板255和下端板257组成。下端板257具有一个板状,半径方向延伸的底端259,一个外侧圆周壁261,以及一个内侧环形壁263。上端板255具有一个板状顶端263(与底端259类似),一个外侧圆周壁265和一个内侧环形壁267。将上端板255和下端板257固定在一起的是一套带螺纹的螺栓269。底端259,顶端263以及壁265和267确定了一个环形腔室271,适用于容纳闸门阀251停留在一个环形狭缝273内,狭缝由环形壁263和265的互相间隔的面形成。闸门阀251和狭缝273之间的压力密封件由一对放在环形内壁263内的O型环275和277提供。它们确保了当关闭闸门阀251的情况下,上端孔洞区域241a可以与下端孔洞区域241b是隔开的。另一个O型环278,在外侧圆周壁261和265之间用于提供闸门阀251打开时鼓装配组件253内的气体压力保持在一定值以下。
从闸门阀251的环形体252延伸出来的为锚柄250,用于旋转阀门(附图5)。锚柄被钉在带螺纹的螺钉275上,螺钉旋转安装在一个圆形突起物上,该突起物从上端腔室板255处延伸过来。螺钉275通过螺母279固定。O型环281提供了圆形突起物277和螺栓275之间的密封。在螺栓275的六角端283上使用扳手可以使阀门251在打开和关闭位置之间转换。
为了能够监测孔洞241内的压力,在管状物部分223内(附图4)安装一个螺纹孔283,在螺纹孔内安装一台压力容器285。孔洞241的上部腔室区241a形成的压力排放通过同一个管状物部分223内的开口287完成,开口与带螺纹的圆柱形部分289焊接在一起,形成一个排放口,排放口上安装一个球阀291(此后称为“次球阀”),可以选用传统结构的球阀。一个类似的球阀293(此后称为“主球阀”),用于提供穿过附图1内导管107的旁路路径,旁路路径安装在一个圆柱形部分295上(附图5)并焊接在管状物部分219上,通过管状物部分219壁上的开口与下端腔室区域241b通讯,壁上开口与开口287类似,但是没有示出。
考虑到固定件200的顶端是一个出口,用于使附件300-900的相应部分分开。形成的入口部分为工具容器297,包括一个在其上端具有环形边缘299并在其肩部301逐渐转变为尺寸减小,外螺纹终端部分303的托座。工具容器在边缘299内为内螺纹,并且部分进入终端部分303的主体内来接收不同的附件300-900。由于这些附件是由铁制成的,优选的工具容器297也有铁制成。体制容器297在入口处与管状物部分223通过扣环305系在一起,扣环可以是铝制品,也可以是组成管状物237的所有部分系在一起。扣环305具有一个尺寸减小的上端部分307以及一个放大的下端部分309。扣环307带有与工具容器297的外螺纹相匹配的螺纹,并且放大的扣环部分309还包括一套在管状物部分223的上端外螺纹相匹配啮合 的内螺纹。O型环313和315在扣环305和插入扣环297以及管状物部分223之间,分别提供了管状物部分223和容器297的压力密封。
通过将固定件200以及底端管状物单元217放在一起并放低来安装管道100上的固定件,管状物部分217面向鞍座管线头113,这样管线投进管状物部分217的入口242直到广状物部分的底端和鞍座部分111相接。管道头113紧密的与管状物部分217的孔洞装配在一起并通过O型环243和245将两者保持密封。一对L型上端支架元件317与管状物部分217焊接在一起形成一个连接支架的顶端,该支架的底端包括一个具有中心加强加厚区域321的托架319。托架319定型,因此当管道是正圆形的时候,它的内表面与管道的尺寸和形状匹配。
焊接并从托架319两侧任意一侧伸出的是一对下轴承支架元件323。铁制伸入头325伸入孔内(未示出)穿过L形托架317的基座,并且铁制伸入头327伸入下轴承支架部分323终端的孔内(未示出)。铁制孔洞329具有带螺纹的柄部331和把手333,延伸穿过上轴承托架317和下轴承托架323,并且螺旋的与各自的铁制伸入头啮合在一起。上轴承托架317和下轴承托架323以及两者相关的部件包括与管状物237一致的装置,用于将固定件200,特别是管状物连接到管道100上。
通过旋转把手333,上轴承托架和下轴承托架互相向对方移动,导致底端管状物部分317坚固的固定在基座上,与支路鞍座109的鞍座部分111相对。灵位,通过向支架319按压管道100,假定管道是圆形,与略有椭圆的形状相对,即管道形状的另一个常用假设。驱动上轴承托架317和下轴承托架323互相移动的进一步结果是,管道100的中线相对于固定件的入口242的中线成直角90度,因此相对于支路鞍座管道头113的中线也成90度。结果,当外部直径与管道头113的内径非常匹配的工具穿过管道头进入管道内时,工具由管道头引导因此工具的中线与管道100的中线也成90度,由于管道头113的中线与管道100的中线相交,工具的中线也会相交。
现在参见附图6-9,这里会描述第一插入组件,用于在穿过固定件200的管道。切割插入组件400及其主要部件包括轴401,密封塞40,切割器405以及一个引导轮毂407。轴401具有一个把手409通过螺钉进入带螺纹的管头411内的开口一端及相对侧的终端。工具405通过带螺纹的管头411支撑(附图7)。引导轮毂407包括一个外螺纹体413和一个六角头415,销钉417穿过六角头415内的孔延伸进入轴401内的相应孔。轴向孔洞419比轴401的直径略大,延伸并穿过引导轮毂407,允许其在轴401上围绕销钉417轻微摆动,原因后面会解释。正好位于轴401内的密封塞403上方的时穿透孔421,从中穿出并延伸的时可去除弹簧夹423。
密封塞403包括一个具有六角头428的狭槽元件425,其中延伸出一个外螺旋圆柱部分427,终端位于一个尺寸较小的不带螺纹的部分429,部分429带有一个外部密封O型环431。隔离环433具有内螺纹从而与圆柱部分427的螺纹相匹配,旋进该部分上部直到与六角头428的下端面435相接。
通过不带螺纹的终端部分429延伸的是轴向孔437,设计尺寸能够与轴401的外径紧密配合。从其上端进入密封塞403并向孔洞437延伸的是扩孔439,具有当弹簧夹423从轴401移除后,适于容纳引导轮毂407的螺纹413的螺纹441。
附图8中可以最好的看到,切割工具405包括两个部分:切割轮毂451和外壳切割器453。轮毂451通常是圆柱形,沿着半径方向延伸,环形法兰455环绕轮毂的中部,轮毂主体具有六角截面457在法兰上方(附图8中可以看到)以及一个外螺纹圆柱部分459在法兰下方延伸。带螺纹的孔461沿着轴向延伸并穿过轮毂451。
现在看一下外壳切割器453,包括一个铁制圆柱体463,具有一个切入两端的其中一端的狭槽465,狭槽沿着与圆柱体463的中线成一定角度的方向延伸,每个狭槽在一个环形剪切块467内结束。狭槽465定义了多个具有端面471的齿469,相对与圆柱体463的中线垂直的板是倾斜的。
附图9可以更好的看到,一组脊柱471在外壳切割器齿469的内部环绕延伸,刚好达不到尖端473。
外壳切割器453的上端在内螺纹缘475内终结,其中的螺纹适于与切割器轮毂451的螺纹459配合使用。
为了将切割器405组合在一起,切割器轮毂451旋入轴头411上直到法兰455的底端进入轴上,如图8所示。然后,外壳切割器453旋入到轮毂451的螺纹部分459。为了使得切割器能够紧密的固定,使用一对直径方向上相对的孔471,孔位于圆柱体的壁内,这样可以伸入销钉穿过其中从而将切割器453翻转到轮毂451上。
插入组件400的操作,尤其是其上切割器405的操作由将组件400提升起来开始,这样就会在固定件200的上方,并且小心的将组件400插入,其中切割器405引导穿过固定件容器297。然后旋入密封塞403使其进入容器297直到隔离环433底部到达容器297的顶面300。弹簧夹423位于轴401的上方,如图7所示,整个插入组件400将会放在闸门阀251的上方,因为弹簧夹423与容器297的面300相接。然后打开闸门阀251。弹簧夹423从轴401处一走,并且将轴压入到固定件200内部,朝着管道的方向压入直到引导轮毂体413上的螺纹与密封塞403上的扩孔439内螺纹啮合在一起。然后转动把手,驱动引导轮毂407进入密封塞 403,在切割操作的起始位置标记号。优选的,切割器405的尺寸可以紧贴穿过支路鞍座管道头113装配,这样可以在管道100的壁内切割出配合孔。穿过支路鞍座管道头13的切割器405放低操作变得更容易,因为轴401能够在引导轮毂407内轻微的移动以及内孔419和轴之间的间距存在。
随着把手409的转动,引导轮毂407被推入密封塞403,轴401都转动并向管道100的方向前移,引起切割器469的齿与管道的壁咬合并且开始切穿管道壁。应当注意引导轮毂407的位置是在轴401上与切割器齿尖端473相对,当引导轮毂407上的螺纹和密封塞403首次啮合时,齿尖端47互相之间在管道上方间隔一小段距离。切割操作继续直到引导轮毂的六角头415上的底面475与密封塞的六角头428的顶面477相连接。底面475和切割齿469的尖端473之间的距离如图7中的区域A所示,该区域选定以便于当面475和477相接时,齿尖端473刚好位于管道100的中点处,从而避免管道的底面半段会出现凹槽,这种情况也会在切割器前进并越过管道的中点时发生。
外壳切割器453的外径应当比支线鞍座管线头113以及管道100的内径略小,这样切割器453会受到管道头113在沿着与管道100的中线90度方向的引导,并且此时的切割器中线与管道100的中线相交。正因为如此,由于切割器齿刚好在管道100的中点,那么将会把管道的壁切割成一个弓形壁部分,通常称为“试样坯”,如图8所示的弓形元件79。由于本发明的切割器453的具体配置,切割器齿469的内部边沿471与试样坯479的外边沿相咬合,这样当完成切割操作后,通过顺时针旋转轴401可将工具抽出,试样坯479与外壳切割器453一起抽出。另外,切割过程中产生的管道刨花会直接穿过狭缝465进入切割器的内部,然后穿过剪切块467,其中剪切块会留在腔室内,腔室壁是切割器453并且腔室的底部由管道试样坯479形成。试样坯和刨花通过将切割器从其轮毂451处移除而清除掉。
前述步骤的结果是,在管道100的壁被穿透的过程中,整个固定件内部的压力,包括孔241以及鼓装配组件253内的环形空间271内的压力都会上升直到充满整个管道100内部。通过使用把手409持续的旋转轴402直到引导轮毂407完全的与密封塞403之间没有罗文联接,那么整个外壳切割器453的抽出也就完成了。这一点上,向上拉动轴401,直到切割器轮毂451的顶端与密封塞403的底部相接。这会引导孔421穿过轴401重新回到密封塞403的上方,允许弹簧夹423重新插入从而将组件完全的固定到闸门阀251的上方。然后关闭闸门阀251,并且打开次级释放阀门291从而将上部孔空间241a内的气体放出,这样能够减少其中的气体压力。一旦完成这一步,就会通过将密封塞403和固定件200的容器299两者螺纹旋开从固定件200中除去插入组件400,然后拿出组件400。
过程的下一步是检查刚刚制作的切口。图10所示探测灯500用于该目的。它包括一个透明的胶质玻璃塞501位于腔室503内,腔室旋入到一个灯密封塞505内。灯密封塞505用于和图6所示的切割器密封塞403类似的功能,并且外部采用类似的配置。也就是,它包括一个管状物507,从六角螺母509处延伸并且具有一个相对薄和光滑的终端部分513,终端部分末端有O型环515。灯密封插塞505具有一个轴向孔517,沿着插塞整个长度方向延伸。孔517的上端部分带有螺纹。
灯腔室503的形状与密封塞505类似。也具有一个六角头519,从该头延伸出一个管状物521,管状物的外侧具有螺纹,与塞505内的螺纹相配合。轴向孔523在腔室503的整个长度方向上延伸。腔室503的上半部分内部,窗口具有轻微变细,透明的胶质玻璃插塞,外部带有螺纹与腔室503的内螺纹相配合。插塞501的外螺纹,腔室503上的内外螺纹以及密封塞505的内螺纹都是管道螺纹。密封塞505上的外螺纹为规则的机加工螺纹。
电连接器525延伸并穿过六角头519的壁内开口527,进入窗501的狭缝529内。电灯泡531固定在电插座533内,嵌入到胶质玻璃窗501内,如果希望,连接器525也会嵌入到窗501内。一对电线535完成从电源(没有示出)到灯泡531的电路。
为了将探测灯500组装在一起,密封条(没有示出)缠绕在灯腔室管状物521的外围管道螺纹上,然后将管状物旋入到灯密封塞505内部尽可能远的位置。胶质玻璃窗501的外管道螺纹优选采用密封剂覆盖,然后将窗旋入灯腔室503内部,这样狭缝529可以与六角头519的开口527共线。
现在转到图4,检查管道切割步骤的结果,通过将密封塞505选入到固定物300的容器297内部来安装探测灯500。当这一步完成后,闸门阀251仍然是闭合的,因为是次级球阀291。随着探测灯500安全的固定,球阀251现在可以转到打开位置,灯泡531被点亮,并且通过窗501可视化的观测管线100。当进行观察后,闸门阀251关闭,次级球阀291打开从而释放来自上端腔室部分241a的压力,并且将灯的螺纹旋开并移走。次级球阀291关闭,为下一步做准备,也就是在管道100内安装停止器。
公开了两个可替换实施例。第一个是如图11-14所示,接下来进行描述,停止器插入组件600包括一个带有把手603的轴601,驱动轮毂605,密封塞607以及停止器组件609。轴601,把手603,密封塞607基本上与附图7的相应部件类似。轴601带有扣环611,其固定在轴上用于当驱动轮毂605旋入到密封塞607内时,沿轴向方向向轴移动。由于密封塞607和附图7的密封塞403时相同的,结构细节如图所示但不会进行描述了。应当充分注意到其具有一个内部狭缝,旋入螺纹用于容纳驱动轮毂605的外螺纹613,并且在一个尺寸减小的 孔内终结,如图7所示的孔437,轴401可以穿过该孔并滑动进入从而紧密配合。弹簧夹615通常在穿过轴601的开口(没有示出)内。
参考附图12,停止器组件609包括一个带口的铁制扣环617,一个坚硬的优选铁制的扣环619以及弹性片621。扣环617是圆柱形的,带有上端轴向开口623和下端轴向开口625。上端开口623带有螺纹并容纳轴601的尺寸减小带有螺纹的一段。半径方向的开口629,631和633与下端轴向开口625相交。
截面为U型的铁制扣环619带有一个有螺纹的入口635,用于接收带口扣环617的外螺纹尺寸减小端637。穿过铁制扣环619的壁延伸出一个流入/流出开口639,也带有螺纹用于容纳模具(没有示出),模具用于环绕开口639形成弹性片621的椭圆形轮廓。凹槽,大约间隔1/8英寸,在扣环619的内表面形成从而帮助支撑弹性片621。
当弹性片即将形成时,螺钉(没有示出)旋入到开口639内。螺钉具有附着其上的拱形面(没有示出),用于在弹性片621上掏出拱形面641,该片环绕流入/流出开口639。通过在模具中插入铁制扣环619形成弹性片621,螺栓插入到开口639内。为了与本发明一致,模具的形状设计成当弹性体进入模具和铁制扣环619之间的空间时,形成的头643比侧壁部分645更薄。之所以这样的原因当时用该工具的时候会更明显。弹性片形成后,执行掏出动作,从而当从流入/流出开口639中去除工具(没有示出)后提供光滑的弓形轮廓641。应当注意到穿过流入/流出开口639铁制扣环619的内部形成的腔室645和穿过轴向以及沿半径方向的开口625和631的有一条路径。
接下来,产生旁路的主要步骤在图1中说明,主要步骤是将插入组件600安装在图4所示的固定件200内部。这部分的操作从降低组件600开始,使其穿过入口容器297,直到密封塞607进入并与入口容器297的螺纹啮合。组件600在该点上是完全抽出的位置,弹簧夹615固定在图11所示位置上。翻转密封塞607直到全部固定,这样它和入口容器297之间的密封就有效果了。然后打开闸门阀251,将弹簧夹615从轴601上去除,推动轴使其穿过密封阀607直到驱动轮毂605进入密封阀607。
应该注意到,从附图11开始把手603面对的方向和停止器组件609的流入/流出开口方向相同。这也能够使使用者将开口639放在一个适当的方向上,通过适当的转动把手603进而转动639的方式完成。由于期望将管道100塞住从而建立支路鞍座109之间的隔离,其中在鞍座内会产生旁路,并且管道中的破裂101以及把手603应当打开从而使流入/流出开口639面向远离破裂101的方向而朝向气源。轴601和停止器组件609采用这种方位,驱动轮毂605旋入密封塞607内,时间轴向向下的力给轴601,驱动轴进入固定件200和管道100内。
随着轴601不断被推动进入固定件200,停止器组件609的尖端按压到管道100的底端,弹性片621以及特别是它的半球形头643发生变形。由于弹性片头643逐渐增加的厚度,因此具有足够的弹性使得铁制扣环619引起弹性片外侧和管道100的内表面相一致。最初和接下来的弹性片轻微变形如图13所示,分别用实线B和虚线C表示,并且停止器组件609在管道100内的最终位置如图14所示。图中可以看到,停止器组件609和管道100壁之间微笑缝隙或者距离已经被轻微变形的停止器组件的片621填满。结果,之前流入管道100并穿过固定件200并穿过管道部分103和105朝向破裂101流动的气体现在都被阻挡在管道部分103和105,这两处为旁路,穿过停止器组件609的流体路径并进入固定件200的口241内。(回忆一下这里所描述的操作直到该点所执行的操作都是在两个固定件200上执行的,包括停止器组件609在其中的安装)。主球阀293目前是打开的,所以完成环绕管线段10和105的旁路,穿过其中的导管107在主球阀293之间延伸。破裂101的修复现在开始执行。
如图15-17所示为可替换的停止器插入组件700。由于仅仅是停止器组件不同,所以只表示出了这一部分。可替换停止器插入组件700的停止器组件701特征在于部分圆柱体部分702,在部分球形头部分703内部终结,在部分702和703的表面之间有一个光滑的过渡,模具线705除外。两部分702和703的直径都应当壁管道100的内经略小。为了保证停止器组件701能够阻拦来自支路鞍座并穿过其中的气流,它的部分圆柱体部分702的外密封表面由环绕主体轴线大于180度的一条线确定。为了附加的强度和刚度,停止器组件安装在一个坚硬的,优选为铁制的,勺状扣环707上,覆盖的弹性片709具有加厚头区域711。铁制扣环707具有内部带有螺纹的扣环713,在主体和头部702以及703的轴线715中心处。旋入到扣环713内的是轴601上尺寸减小,末端带有螺纹的627。轴601和插入组件的所有剩余部分,包括把手603,驱动轮毂605,销钉615以及密封塞607和附图11所示的插入组件600都是相同的。应当注意到插入组件700的把手603应当面向相对于开口段717预定的一个方向上,这样开口段717可以在要停止的气流方向上翻转。可替换的停止器插入组件700采用与插入组件600相同的方式操作。
可替换停止器组件701采用和停止器组件609类似的方式操作。向轴601移动的方式驱动到位,并且头703上的加厚弹性区域711被压缩从而使得停止器组件能够通过与其内部轮廓一致的方式填充满管道100。
回到停止器组件607插入的操作顺序或者可替换的停止器组件701的操作顺序为其中的一部分,修复泄漏101后,接下来将插入组件从固定件200中移除。该步骤将特别参考附图11-14的插入组件600进行说明。该组件首先由将引导轮毂从密封塞607上旋开而收缩,并 且拉起把手603直到停止器组件609充分收缩,这样弹簧片615可以重新插入到轴601内。然后关闭闸门阀251,次级球阀291打开释放压力,并且整个停止器插入组件通过从容器297中旋出密封塞607的方式移除,然后抬起整个组件600使其脱离固定件200。
过程的最后一步是密封支路鞍座管线头113,通过旁路路径建立。这就是如图18-22所示的完整插塞插入组件800的作用。基本部件包括管路801,轴803穿过管路传输,受载弹簧托座805延伸部分进入管路的底端以及一个完整插塞807,可动连接在与托架相对的管路801的末端。另外形成完整插塞插入组件800的基本部件为密封插塞808,可滑动的安装在轴801上。
一般来说,按照下面所述的方式,密封插塞808通过放低完整插塞插入组件800的方式插入到固定件200内部,推动完整插塞807直到它被锁定支路鞍座109上,从插入组建800的剩余部分释放完整插塞807,并且从固定件200中抽出组件。
铁制管路801具有一个统一的外径,具有相对大的终端部分809的级形孔以及一个从孔部分809延伸出来全程到达管路上端的尺寸减小孔部分811。通过孔部分809和811之间的过渡形成肩部813,形成用于螺旋弹簧815的停止位,在肩部813和螺母817之间被压缩,螺钉紧固在尺寸减小的带螺纹的杆803一端819。托架805具有一个但有内螺纹孔821的端壁,其中螺纹端819会进入该内螺纹孔。前述元件组装的顺序是托架805和螺母817紧固在带螺纹的端819上,然后螺母817紧固托架805的一段从而将其固定。然后弹簧815滑过轴803的顶端,并且轴被插入管路801,穿过底端,直到托架805进入管路801的底端,然后轴803的顶端从相对侧,也就是管路801的顶端伸出。盖帽801具有一个六角形头823以及一个外螺纹延伸825,适于和匹配的内螺纹827在管路801的顶端部分被容纳。内孔829穿过端帽821,并且正是穿过该孔才使得轴803的上端在其被拖动穿过管路801后露出来。轴803由把手831固定,把手831穿过在轴803末端的孔833延伸并且被艾伦头螺钉835固定。
在其底端切入到管路内的是凸轮凹槽837,包括一个轴向,入口凹槽部分839以及环绕延伸部分841。凸轮凹槽837用于将完整插塞807保持在管路801的末端,以下将进行解释。
完整插塞807由弹性盘843组成,弹性板在上端铁制板845和下端铁制板847之间成三明治结构。盘843和板845及847截面形状都是圆形的。底面847是平的。顶板845具有垂直方向上延伸的圆柱形轮毂849,其中半径方向上延伸凸轮钉851。带有螺纹的螺钉853延伸穿过板845和847内以及盘843内的轴线开口。螺纹穿过螺钉853一端的是螺母855,其尺寸实际称为能够与后面要驱动的托架805相适应。
完整插塞807的前述元件都装配完成后,螺钉853的一段锤入857从而放置在插入组件 800操作过程中螺母855的有害的旋松和后续的损失。
通过将插塞807的一端插入到托架805内部,尤其是利用螺母855,从而将完整插塞807插入到管道801的一段直到轮毂849的顶端与托架805的边缘相接。然后向管路801的方向按压插塞807,从而使得托架805被压入到关路中,压缩弹簧815。凸轮钉851的位置在轮毂849上,这样钉将会进入凸轮凹槽837,并且更特别地,当压缩板845的上表面与管道801的前边沿859相接的时候,会进入它的外围部分841。这表示活塞807全部插入到管路801内,并且当达到这个位置的时候,活塞807会转向,直到凸轮钉851落入并固定在外围凹槽841的一个或者另一个凹陷端位置。当压力从插塞中释放时,压缩弹簧815会安全的把住它防止凸轮凹槽837的末端进一步的转动。应当注意,当插塞807按照所述的方式安装的时候,螺母855至多可以采用螺栓853上的手紧方式,这样压缩板845和847仅仅承受很小的弹性盘843的力。这可以使得在安装过程中安装到支路鞍座109的内部,如所述的。
密封插塞808的外部配置基本上与组件600上的相应密封插塞类似,因为它执行密封功能的时候采用的是基本上相同的方式。朝向该末端,包括一个六角形头859和一个具有螺纹863的圆柱体861,圆柱体距离头859最近并且在相对的一端有一个O形环。轴向孔867是统一的截面形状,穿过密封插塞808延伸,尺寸设计用于紧配合的方式容纳管路801。所示定位凹槽869刚好在密封插塞808上方。
为了执行密封操作,完整插塞插入组件800如图18和19所示的方式组装,但是是全部抽出的位置,其中凸轮钉851与密封插塞808的底端相连接,组件800插入到固定件200内部,插入方式和前述操作的类似。尤其的,组件800的密封塞808旋入到容器297内部并且紧固固定。闸门阀251此后打开,并且推动管路801使其穿过密封插塞808直到定位凹槽869与插塞808的顶面873在一条直线上,如图19所示。定位凹槽869之所以这样放置原因在于当其与面873在一条直线上时,完整插塞807将会放在支路鞍座管路头113中的一个适当位置。
随着完整插塞插入组件800固定在所述位置,把手831可以转动从而引起轴803的转动,随着其转动的还有弹簧加载托架805,该托架位于轴802的一端。反过来,托架805与完整插塞807的螺母855啮合在一起,开始香螺栓853上的螺母移动,引起对顶端压缩板845的驱动使其香底端压缩板847移动。结果,位于板845和847之间的弹性盘843,沿着轴向逐渐被压缩,因此在半径方向上扩张。这个过程不断持续直到轴进一步转动的阻力足够大,也就表明插塞843已经被在轴向上充分压缩,这一点上完整插塞807可以从插入组件800的其余部件上分离开,简单的按下管路801并且转动它直到凸轮凹槽837的轴向部分839与凸轮 钉851在一条直线上,该点上钉自由存在与穿过凹槽837的轴向部分839的管路段内。随着将完整插塞807定位,并且从插入组件800的剩余部分分离开,组件800的剩余部分也可以从固定件200中抽出。为了实现这一动作,向上按压管路801直到托架805位于闸门阀251的上方,阀门现在是关闭的,此后次级球阀291打开释放压力(如果存在的话),并且通过将密封插塞808从容器297的位置旋松来移除组件800。
可替换的完整插塞插入组件900如图23和24所示(在附图10附近显示)。所有的部件与插入组件800的是一致的,除了完整插塞的结构,在附图23和24中设计作为物体901出现。附图8-22中的完整插塞以及附图23和24中的完整插塞本质上的不同在于后者的特征是具有一个弹性盘,其位于金属插塞的突出部分上并且受到支路鞍座内带有斜面的边缘的积压,而不是受到支路鞍座的壁的压缩和拉伸。特别地,完整插塞901包括一个通常为圆柱形的金属扣环903,903具有一个带螺纹的主体905,其中伸出一个六角形轮毂907。从轮毂907中伸出凸轮针909,用于和附图22的凸轮针851同样的功能。带有螺纹扣环主体905有一个突出部分尺寸逐渐减小的部分911,上面安装弹性帽913,913具有一个带有倾斜面的外边缘915。为了容纳完整插塞901并与901配合工作,在支路鞍座管路头916内提供尺寸减少部分917来修改其结构,916带有螺纹与扣环主体905上的螺纹配合。同样的,带些面的基座面919在经过修改的支路鞍座923的鞍座部分921内部也存在,如图23和24所示。
附图23和24所示的可替换完整插塞可以插入到插入组件800的剩余可转换部分,插入方式与附图22的完整插塞807相同,都是采用凸轮凹槽837内存在的凸轮钉909。可替换的完整插塞901被放低并向支路鞍座923的方向定位,参考插入组件800和前述的方式完全相同。当把手831转动时,轴803与其一起转动,与插塞901的六角形轮毂907啮合的弹簧负载托架805转动金属扣环905,引起插塞901旋入到支路鞍座923的带螺纹部分917内。把手831转动直到弹性盘913压入到金属扣环905和支路鞍座923的带斜面基座面919之间,这个点上跨越支路鞍座的管路头916上密封都会起作用,管路801的啮合接触并且组件800会采用参考附图18-22所述的方式抽出。
不管使用那个版本的完整插塞,都希望确保能够实施很好的密封。结果,当抽出插入组件800后,再次安装探测灯500,并且对密封插塞进行可视化探测。作为进一步的预防措施,在将探测灯移除后,主阀门293和次级阀门291都要关闭,并且在观测压力计285后打开闸门阀251几分钟。在孔241内部压力建立的产生可以作为支路鞍座109已经完全密封的指示。然后可以移除固定件200,并且最后一步,通过传统的方式会将聚乙烯端帽(没有示出)紧固或者熔融在支路鞍座管道头113上作为后备密封件。
这里已经详细描述了一种方法,其中穿过管道的气流可以临时从泄漏处切断直到泄漏修复。该方法和执行该方法的新型装置已经在如下管线的背景下进行了描述,其中气体通过该管线仅仅由泄漏一侧的压力导致其流入,并且期望能对泄漏两侧的用户都可以提供持续的服务,环绕管线内的泄漏安装旁路是必要的。这些情况下,不仅仅堵塞泄漏上游和下游的管道是必要地,而且也需要提供从管道的上游端到旁路管道的路径以及从旁路管道到管道下游部分的回路也是必要地。很明显,上述环境如果不是主要的,那么可以使用更简单的可替换实施例。例如,如果服务仅需要针对泄漏一侧的客户,那么仅需要使用一台固定设备。另外,这种情况下没有必要使用旁路。暗中情况下,足够简单使用本发明的方法打开管道壁上的一个孔,并且通过这个孔插入一个停止器,不为旁路路径提供开口。因为两个公开的停止器组件都可以使用那种方式,简单的操作将他们没有缝隙的壁部分朝向管路的上游端,一个简单的权宜之计,也全部落在本发明的保护范围内,这样经过配置的停止器组件基本上是固体元件。该固体停止器组件可能,例如,和附图11-14的停止器组件609的形状相同,但是没有开口639,629,631和625。
为了提供本发明的具体实例,几个元件确定了特定的制作材料。因此,铁已经作为部件的材料,提供所需要的轻度。应当理解其他材料,通常为金属也可以替代铁来使用,只要他们拥有所需要的强度。类似的,铝已经被引用作为固定件200的主体部分制造的材料。之所以引用铝是因为铝很容易加工并且具有所需要的强度,能够经得起固定件内部散布的压力。另外,也应当理解,机加工容易并不考虑的情况下也可以使用其他材料,并且实际上如果足够强度的塑料可以找到,也能替代铝使用。
应当理解,其中固定件200所示与管道粘结在一起,管道上固定有支路鞍座,这样它的管道头中线是垂直的,固定件同样可以和支路鞍座使用,因为支路鞍座安装在关路上,其管线头中线是成一定角度而不是垂直的。因此,由于固定件200是水平眼神的支路鞍座管路头,所以也可以固定在固定件中线垂直的管道100上。结果,其中所作的参考在说明书和权利要求中使用“上端”和“下端”,应当理解使用这些术语用于指定固定件上分别是距离管道100相对最近和相对最远的元件,并不是用来指定那些在垂直方向上较高或者较低的元件。
虽然本发明已经参考特定的说明性实施例进行了描述,但是不会受到这些实施例的限定而仅仅受到附加权利要求的限定。本领域技术人员应当理解可以在不偏离本发明的保护范围和精神的情况下对本发明的实施例能够进行改动和修改。
