Definitions
- the invention relates to a pipe cleaning device for Petroleum and gas pipelines, the deposits for example have in the form of paraffins, which device with a Liquid flow through the pipeline for cleaning purposes is pushed, the device has a shield.
- a similar facility consists of a Sealing body on which can be rotated in the direction of flow stored cleaning head with nozzles is attached to Solids such as wax from the inner tube wall to remove.
- Solids such as wax from the inner tube wall to remove.
- Braking device attached radially with brake shoes presses against the pipe wall, so the movement from Brake body in the pipe flow to brake and one Build up pressure difference. This pressure difference becomes this used to connect the nozzles via internal by-pass lines to provide a liquid jet and the Set the cleaning head to rotate.
- U.S. patent shows 4,920,600 a Pipe cleaning device from a cleaning head with itself radially, against the flow direction widening scrapers.
- the cleaning head is axial firmly with a support body designed as a pipe plug connected, which has two sealing plates, the each made up of several mutually movable elements consist of pressure surges driven by the flow transferred to the cleaning head.
- the object of the invention is a safe Pipe cleaning device for petroleum or gas pipelines too create.
- This object is achieved with claim 1, by making the shield one or more breakthroughs for one passing liquid flow forms to at a small values with limited feed speed an intended flow resistance one Pressure difference across the shield to form which is sufficient to drive a cleaning device that the deposits in front of the shield and the passing liquid flow passes, the shield is coupled to a braking device that is currently with at least one clamping element adheres to the pipe wall and the clamping element itself determining the feed Transfers braking force to the pipe wall by using the Relative movement between the clamping element and Braking device a secondary fluid over a Throttle point displaced.
- This arrangement ensures that Pipe cleaning device not with raised Feed speeds at which a fixation of the Cleaning head can take place in the axial direction moving forward and that the feed motion is inevitable and autonomous. Doing so Braking energy by throttling to a secondary Liquid flow discharged from the pipe cleaning device heats up and through the device the heat at the passing Liquid flow and the environment passed on.
- Another advantage is that part of the Braking forces with the feed speed like this is coupled that with increasing speed of the Pipe cleaning device in the pipeline also the braking force grows. It is therefore sufficient to stop the flow of liquid Entry of the pipeline with a regulator at constant To regulate liquid flow in order to everywhere along the Pipeline the same conditions for braking on a given feed rate and for that Obtain actuation of the cleaning device.
- the fact that in the shield and cleaning head Breakthroughs for a passing liquid flow can be set at a specific, with a Feed rate coupled braking force one specified pressure difference on the label is observed become.
- the braking force consists of three possible components together: From possible processing staff on Cleaning head in front of the sign, from the sum of the Sliding friction forces between pipe cleaning device and Pipeline against the feed direction and from at least one with a certain feed rate coupled partial braking force. While the Machining forces and the sliding friction forces with their Fluctuations represent disturbance variables, the same as that of Partial braking force dependent on feed rate Fluctuations of the first two according to their Throttle characteristics from, in the pressure force and Feed rate are coupled. The lower the The more constant the disturbance variables are Feed rate. According to at least one throttle characteristics at times achieved in the secondary Liquid flow, can be a partial braking force approximate dependence on the square of the Feed speed can be generated. This disproportionate dependence means that with relative small changes in the feed rate large Differences in partial braking force are generated in order To compensate for disturbances.
- a first option is to use clamping elements as moving rollers pressed radially against the pipe wall execute, which in turn with their rotation one Displacement of the secondary liquid in specified volumes and the resulting secondary liquid flow Brake chokes.
- clamping elements as moving rollers pressed radially against the pipe wall execute, which in turn with their rotation one Displacement of the secondary liquid in specified volumes and the resulting secondary liquid flow Brake chokes.
- a role like using a push crank on hydraulic brake cylinders Throttling points resp. Shock absorbers act, whereby by the Use of multiple roles and multiple Shock absorbers on a roller compensate for the fluctuating force / path characteristics of the individual Thrust crank takes place.
- volumetric pump such as one Vane pump drives whose volume flow over Throttling points is braked.
- Displacement pump designed as a multiple piston pump is.
- the pistons are star-shaped in a first part arranged that rotates with the roller and are during their rotation is guided radially along a wavy line, to each with two check valves from one Low pressure line to suck in secondary liquid and to eject into a high pressure line.
- the roller is pressed over Displacement pump driven with increasing Number of revolutions limited by the throttle High pressure generated, which at the same time on the radial pressing hydraulic piston acts.
- radial Contact forces that are so great that the role does not work the pipe wall slips and the other way around not are great that the braking device over the slide shoe is blocked.
- a braking device with controlled feed rate is gradually two axially offset clamping elements use the radial forces in each Cross-section cancel each other and the stroke of the moment clamping element in the axial direction with a Piston, a secondary, throttled Fluid flow moves to limit while that second, currently not jamming element in a Starting position is moved when changing the Clamping the second element is secondary throttled liquid flow moves. It is useful when changing the clamp overlap the Provide clamping times so that no uncontrolled Sliding can occur. The process then looks like this that at the end of the braked stroke for the first Clamping element comes to a standstill, in which the Clamping the second clamping element in its Starting position is done.
- the nozzles usually also have one with their jet forward directional component to the Keep the sign free of dirt.
- a Distribution of the nozzles on concentric circles for Pipe axis can be uniform and of the angle of rotation independent cut in the deposits on the Pipe wall are generated. It is particularly advantageous if the sign near the pipe wall protrudes Wreath with a variety of nozzles for the detachment of Has residual deposits around the web for the shield cut freely.
- the jet can also have an essential component in the circumferential direction, to be transverse to the feed direction and at an acute angle to the To cut the pipe wall. If the total of the moments Largely impulses from nozzles on shield and cleaning head picks up, the coupling part between the shield and Braking device less stressed on torsion.
- flaps such as a "butterfly" valve can be provided, the Damper wing in the open position only when the flow reverses for example, along with the lifting of the Braking action to be released to a mechanical Block with certainty during the forward movement to exclude.
- FIG. 1 With the figures are pipe cleaning devices for petroleum and Gas pipelines are shown holding a sign Cleaning device through a liquid flow in moving the pipeline forward.
- the shield forms in the pipeline one or more breakthroughs for one passing liquid flow to a designated one Build up pressure and is on the back with a Provide braking device, the unwanted large This prevents feed speeds from at least one clamping element currently on the pipe wall sticks and moves relative to the braking device.
- This movement is kinematic on a hydraulic one Displacer transferred to a secondary Liquid flow generated, which over at least one Throttle is braked and so the speed between the shield and the pipe wall.
