Detailed Description

The invention provides a method for cleaning a petroleum pipeline cavity, which comprises the step of cleaning the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline by pipeline cavity cleaning equipment, wherein the pipeline cavity cleaning equipment is provided with a cavity generator, the cavity generator generates a cavity in the petroleum pipeline, and the scale on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline is cleaned by utilizing collapse of the cavity. Specifically, the cavitation generator can utilize water flow to generate cavitation bubbles, the cavitation bubbles are conveyed in the petroleum pipeline and collapse occurs, and the impact waves generated by collapse of the cavitation bubbles clean scales on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline.

The structure of the cavitation generator is various, and the structure of the cavitation generator and the method of using the cavitation generator will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the cavitation cleaning apparatus for a pipeline includes: the device comprises a first water supply pipe 1, a mounting sleeve 2 and a cavitation generator 3, wherein the cavitation generator 3 comprises a mounting main shaft 31 and a plurality of flow deflectors 32, the flow deflectors 32 are fixed on the mounting main shaft 31, and a notch structure 33 is arranged at the tail of each flow deflector 32 along the flow direction of water flow; the mounting spindle 31 is provided at one end of the mounting sleeve 2, and the first water supply pipe 1 is connected to the other end of the mounting sleeve 2.

The specific using method in the actual using process comprises the following steps: put into petroleum pipeline 100 with pipeline vacuole cleaning equipment, then, first delivery pipe supplies water, and rivers enter into installation sleeve 2, and rivers flow through to vacuole generator 3 department and produce a large amount of vacuoles, and the vacuole is followed rivers and is flowed to petroleum pipeline 100's lateral wall department and take place to burst, utilizes the vacuole to burst the scale deposit clean up on the shock wave that produces with petroleum pipeline 100 inner wall.

Specifically, the installation casing 2 is inserted into an oil pipeline. The first water supply pipe 1 is connected with an external water supply device, and water flow with certain pressure is provided through the external water supply device and enters the installation sleeve 2 through the first water supply pipe 1 to continuously flow. The water flow in the installation sleeve 2 finally flows to the cavitation generator 3, and the water flow is guided by the guide vane 32 and flows along the surface of the guide vane 32. When the water flows to the notch structure 33, because the flow rate of the water is fast and an instantaneous pressure loss is generated at the notch structure 33, under the action of low pressure in the notch structure 33 area, and when the static pressure in the liquid suddenly drops to be lower than the vapor pressure of the liquid at the same temperature, a large amount of vacuoles are formed in the liquid, so that the water flows through the notch structure 33 area to form a large amount of vacuoles.

The cavitation bubbles leave the gap structure 33 as the water flow continues, and at this time, the cavitation bubble group enters a region of higher pressure, so that the external pressure of the cavitation bubbles is recovered, and the cavitation bubbles will collapse due to the pressure recovery. The collapse of the cavitation bubbles converts the potential energy stored in the bubbles into fluid in a smaller volume, so that fluid shock waves are formed in the water flow. And since the cavitation generator 3 is installed at the water outlet end position of the installation sleeve 2, the cavitation generated through the notch structure 33 will be output to the outside of the installation sleeve 2. The area where the cavitation collapses is in the petroleum pipeline, and after the cavitation collapses, instant high-pressure jet flow is generated in liquid to cause strong vibration of a liquid medium, so that the cavitation collapses can be utilized to clean scales on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline.

In order to facilitate the installation of the cavitation generator 3 in the installation casing 2, a bracket 21 is provided at one end of the installation casing 2, the bracket 21 may be fixed to the inner wall of the second water supply pipe by welding using a plurality of rods, and the installation spindle 31 is welded to the bracket 21. The bracket 21 can meet the installation requirements of the cavitation generator 3 on one hand, and on the other hand, cannot generate overlarge water resistance to water flow. Preferably, the bracket 21 is welded to the front side of the notch structure 33 to avoid cavitation damage to the bracket 21 from the generated cavitation bubbles.

In addition, there are various arrangements for the petroleum pipeline 100 to be cleaned, such as: for oil production pipelines 100 which are typically longitudinally arranged, the installation casing 2 is then inserted vertically into the oil pipeline 100 and moved from high to low along the oil pipeline 100 by its own weight during the cleaning process.

For the petroleum pipeline 100 for petroleum transportation, in general, the petroleum pipeline 100 is transversely arranged, and in order to enable the pipeline cavity cleaning equipment to actively move in the petroleum pipeline 100, as shown in fig. 4, the pipeline cavity cleaning equipment is configured with a traveling mechanism 4, the traveling mechanism 4 comprises a wheel base 41, a rubber wheel 42 and a power driving module 43, the rubber wheel 42 is rotatably installed on the wheel base 41, and the wheel base 41 is installed on the outer pipe wall of the installation sleeve 2; at least two walking mechanisms 4 are uniformly distributed on the outer pipe wall of the mounting sleeve 2; the power driving module 43 comprises a second water supply pipe 431, a water wheel 432 and a reduction gearbox 433, the second water supply pipe 431 is fixed on the outer pipe wall of the installation sleeve 2, the water wheel 432 is located in the second water supply pipe 431, the rotating shaft of the water wheel 432 is connected with the power input shaft of the reduction gearbox 433 through a flexible shaft 434, the reduction gearbox 433 is fixed on one side of the wheel seat 41, and the power output shaft of the reduction gearbox 433 is in driving connection with the wheel shaft of the rubber wheel 42. Specifically, after the installation casing 2 is placed in the petroleum pipeline 100, the installation casing 2 is supported and suspended in the petroleum pipeline 100 through a plurality of traveling mechanisms 4. The active movement can be achieved by the power driving module 43, and the moving speed of the pipe cavitation cleaning apparatus is controlled by controlling the water pressure and the water flow speed in the second water supply pipe 431. The method specifically comprises the following steps: external water supply enters the second water supply pipe 431, water flow drives the water wheel 432 to rotate, the rotating water wheel drives the reduction gearbox 433 to operate through the flexible shaft 434, and finally, power is transmitted to the wheel shaft of the rubber wheel 42 through the reduction gearbox 433 so as to realize the power rotation of the rubber wheel 42.

At the same time, the running gear 4 can support the installation casing 2 to move in the petroleum pipeline 100, so as to ensure that the installation casing 2 can move centrally in the petroleum pipeline 100. Thus, even if a long petroleum pipeline 100 is cleaned, the installation sleeve 2 extending into the petroleum pipeline 100 can be always kept in the middle of the petroleum pipeline 100, so that the vacuoles output from the installation sleeve 2 can be uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline 100, and the phenomenon that the cleaning effect is not ideal due to the uneven distribution of the vacuoles is reduced. Meanwhile, the phenomenon that cavitation bubbles released due to eccentricity of the installation sleeve 2 are too close to the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline 100 and are collapsed to cause cavitation damage can be avoided, and the use reliability is effectively improved.

In actual operation, the first water supply pipe 1 supplies water, and the second water supply pipe 431 also supplies water, and the second water supply pipe 431 supplies power to the traveling mechanism 4. The running speed of the running mechanism 4 is controlled according to the scaling thickness of the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline 100, so that the water supply pressure of the second water supply pipe 431 is controlled, and the rotating speed of the rubber wheel 42 is adjusted.

Preferably, for scaling at the port position of the petroleum pipeline 100, scaling cleaning of the port can be performed by a worker through a cleaning tool (a scraper knife or a high-pressure high-temperature spray gun). Thus, on one hand, the rubber wheel 42 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline 100 in the initial state to ensure the walking reliability; on the other hand, as the cavitation cleaning equipment needs to be installed in the petroleum pipeline 100 in the initial stage, the cavitation cleaning equipment cannot comprehensively clean the port part of the petroleum pipeline 100, and manual cleaning is adopted, so that scaling on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline 100 can be comprehensively and effectively cleaned.

In order to effectively avoid cavitation erosion of the installation sleeve 2 caused by cavitation, the notch structure 33 is partially exposed outside the port of the installation sleeve 2. Like this, rivers can be quick follow rivers outflow via the produced cavitation of breach structure 33 the installation sleeve for the cavitation takes place to burst in the outside of installation sleeve 2, in order to ensure the phenomenon that the cavitation bursts can not take place in the installation sleeve, realizes good protection installation sleeve 2.

Further, in order to generate sufficient cavitation bubbles and to enable the cavitation bubbles to be conveyed towards the inner wall direction of the petroleum pipeline, the front side wall 331 of the notch structure 33 is curved and extends towards the rear side, and the rear side wall 332 of the notch structure 33 is curved and extends towards the front side along the water flow direction. Specifically, when the water flows to the notch structure 33, the water is guided by the front sidewall 331, and the arc-shaped surface formed in the notch structure 33 by the front sidewall 331 can effectively increase the area of the notch structure 33, so as to better generate negative pressure to obtain more cavitation bubbles. The generated cavitation bubbles are guided by the arc-shaped surface formed by the rear side wall 332 and flow towards the inner wall direction of the petroleum pipeline, so that more cavitation bubbles are broken at the scaling positions on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. The height of the front side wall 331 of the notch structure 33 is greater than the height of the rear side wall 332 of the notch structure 33, so that more cavitation bubbles can be generated by the higher front side wall 331, and the water resistance generated to the water flow can be reduced while the shorter rear side wall 332 meets the requirement of guiding the cavitation bubbles to flow, so as to guide the water flow carrying the cavitation bubbles to smoothly flow towards the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline.

For even distribution of cavitation bubbles, the guide vanes 32 may be arranged obliquely with respect to the axis of the mounting main shaft 31, and a plurality of obliquely arranged guide vanes 32 may guide the water flow to flow in a high-speed deflection manner. Thus, the water flow output by the cavitation generator 3 will rotate to flow out, and the cavitation bubbles will rotate along with the water flow, so that the cavitation bubbles are uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the petroleum pipeline, and a better cleaning effect is obtained.

Furthermore, for the convenience of assembly, the installation casing 2 has a first pipe section 201 and a second pipe section 202, the pipe diameter of the first pipe section 201 is smaller than that of the second pipe section 202, and an inclined connecting surface 203 is formed at the joint of the first pipe section 201 and the second pipe section; a second water supply pipe 431 is mounted on the first pipe section 201 and a wheel base 41 is mounted on the second pipe section 202. Specifically, the first pipe section 201 has a larger pipe diameter to meet the installation requirements of the cavitation generator 32, and the second pipe section 202 has a smaller pipe diameter, so that the second water supply pipe 431 can be installed outside the second pipe section 202. The second pipe section 202 is provided with the cavity generator 3 inside and the wheel base 41 outside, so as to ensure that the rubber wheel 42 on the wheel base 41 can support the installation casing 2 well and ensure that the cavity generator 3 is located at the center line position of the petroleum pipeline 100.

In order to fully utilize water resource to generate more cavitation bubbles, the inclined connecting surface 203 is provided with a jet water inlet 204, the second water supply pipe 431 is provided with a water inlet pipe section 4301 and a water outlet pipe section 4302 which are connected together, and the water outlet pipe section 4302 is in a conical pipe structure and is connected with the jet water inlet 204 in a sealing mode. Specifically, by designing the outlet pipe section 4302 as a conical pipe structure, the water output from the outlet pipe section 4302 forms a high-speed water stream and is injected into the installation casing 2 from the jet water inlet 204. Since the jet water inlet 204 is arranged on the inclined connecting surface 203, the water flow introduced from the jet water inlet 204 flows towards the cavitation bubble generator 3, thereby further accelerating the water flow speed in the mounting sleeve 2; more importantly, the high velocity water jet entering the installation sleeve 2 via the jet inlet 204 will cause the water in the installation sleeve 2 to swirl, which will further enhance the ability to generate cavitation bubbles in the notch structure 33, and thus obtain more cavitation bubbles. A through hole (not shown) may be formed in a wall of the second water supply pipe 431, and the flexible shaft 434 penetrates through the through hole in a sealing manner, specifically, a dynamic seal is formed at a connection portion between the flexible shaft 434 and the through hole to prevent water from leaking out of the through hole, and a dynamic seal manner may refer to a common dynamic seal form in the prior art, which is not limited or described herein.
