Pipelines are widely employed in the petroleum, natural gas, and chemical industries due to their high efficiency and low cost. However, leakage frequently occurs at components such as valves and flanges in complex pipeline structures due to sealing failures or impact fractures, posing significant safety risks. This study conducts experimental research on leak source localization in complex pipelines using acoustic emission (AE) technology. Lead break tests are performed to analyze the propagation velocity and attenuation characteristics of AE signals. A multi-level analysis combining time-domain, frequency-domain, and wavelet transform methods reveals that the amplitude and frequency band distribution of leakage signals attenuate progressively during propagation. To enhance signal quality, a parameter optimization method based on vector weighted averaging is proposed and validated within the framework of variational mode decomposition (VMD). Effective signal modes are selected using sample entropy and correlation coefficients, followed by signal reconstruction through a wavelet thresholding denoising algorithm, resulting in a significant improvement in localization accuracy. Furthermore, the impact of signal attenuation on localization errors is investigated, and an optimized sensor placement scheme tailored for complex pipelines is proposed and experimentally verified.
To realize the automatic tightening of nuts, a nut tightening robot system strategy based on machine vision was designed in this work. The strategy was based on three stages: nut image calibration, nut identification, and nut pose estimation. In the first stage, the template pose image of the nut and the coordinates of the nut center in this nut image were obtained by calibration. In the second stage, a nut identification algorithm based on improved the backbone feature extraction network and area generation network of Faster-RCNN was presented, which improved the efficiency and accuracy of nut identification. In the last stage, a nut pose estimation algorithm based on Fourier and log-polar coordinate transformation was presented to solve the rotation angle, translation, and scale of the nut relative to the template nut image and then obtain the rotation angle of the sleeve and the central coordinate of the nut. An experimental nut tightening robot platform was also set up in this work. The results of 50 tests showed that the proposed detection methods could identify nuts with 100 x and y directions was ± 0.05 mm and of z direction was ± 0.5 mm. The experimental results showed that the nut tightening robot scheme and algorithm designed in this work were feasible in nut identification and pose estimation and met the requirements of insertion accuracy in the process of nut tightening.
法兰接头在高温环境中工作时,接头各个部件的蠕变松弛会加剧,然而在法兰接头的研究中,大多没有考虑垫片的蠕变松弛.以金属石墨缠绕垫片为例,在不同温度及不同初始密封比压情况下进行蠕变松弛性能试验;将试验结果进行拟合得到垫片蠕变松弛性能计算公式,将其代入法兰接头变形协调方程中,计算得到接头蠕变2年的螺栓力随时间的变化情况.使用ANSYS软件建立法兰接头有限元模型,并计算不同部件蠕变2年所造成的螺栓力的松弛情况.理论计算结果与有限元计算结果相近,表明建立的理论模型可用于接头螺栓力松弛的评估.研究结果表明:初始密封比压相同时,温度越大则垫片的蠕变量越大,温度相同时,初始密封比压越大则垫片的蠕变量越大;垫片蠕变对法兰接头有显著影响,在一些情况下仅垫片蠕变就能使螺栓力下降40%,因此垫片蠕变对法兰接头的影响不能忽略.
Threaded fastening operations are widely used in assembly and are typically time-consuming and costly. In low-volume, high-value manufacturing, fastening operations are carried out manually by skilled workers. The existing approaches are found to be less flexible and robust for performing assembly in a less structured industrial environment. This paper introduces a novel algorithm for detecting the position and orientation of threaded holes and a new method for tightening bolts. First, the elliptic arc fitting method and the three-point method are used to estimate the initial position and orientation of the threaded hole, and the force impact caused by switching from the free space to the constrained space during bolt tightening is solved. Second, by monitoring the deformation of passive compliance, the position information is introduced into the control process to better control the radial force between the bolt and the threaded hole in the tightening process. The constant force controller and orientation compliance controller are designed according to the adaptive control theory. A series of experiments are carried out. The results show that the proposed method can estimate the initial position and orientation of an M24 bolt with an average position error of 0.36 mm, 0.43 mm and 0.46 mm and an orientation error of 0.65°, 0.46° and 0.59°, and it can tighten the bolt with a success rate of 98.5%.
目前被广泛应用的平面环填料组被压紧后,填料内部的应力沿轴向衰减,因此距离压盖近的环对密封的贡献较大.然而柔性石墨填料组中起主要密封作用的纯石墨环通常位于填料组的中间,两端加固石墨环的密封能力较弱.为提升柔性石墨填料的密封性能,对平面环石墨填料组进行结构优化,通过制造应力集中改变填料组受压后的应力分布,从而增大纯石墨环所受应力以提升填料密封性能.测定柔性石墨相关材料参数,利用ANSYS软件、Fluent软件对优化前后填料组的受力及密封性能进行分析.结果表明:平面环填料组在优化为V形填料组后,纯石墨环内部的应力得到提升,且整组填料与阀杆间的摩擦力更小,填料密封寿命明显更长.
The 3D reconstruction of vermiculite-based sealing material was carried out based on CT scanning experiments and Avizo software. The precision and representation of the reconstructed digital core were tested by calculating the pore structure parameters and comparing them with the experimental results of mercury compression. Avizo is a perfect interface with Fluent software to perform micro-scale seepage simulation to explore the distribution of pressure and velocity fields during fluid transport. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to study the penetration leakage of non-metallic gaskets by using equivalent pore networks.

Backlash is a commonly non-linear phenomenon, which can directly degrade the control accuracy of a pneumatic control valve. To explain the cause and law of backlash error, and to propose an effective method, many research works on the modeling of a pneumatic control valve system have been carried out. The currently model of a control valve system can be classified as a physical model, data-driven model, and semi-physical model. However, most models only consider the force-displacement conversion process of a pneumatic diagram actuator in a pneumatic control valve system. A physical model based on the whole workflow of the pneumatic control valve system is established and a control method to eliminate the backlash error is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the physical model of the pneumatic control valve system is established, which is composed of three parts: pneumatic diaphragm actuator model, nozzle-flapper structure model and electromagnetic model. After that, the input–output relationship of the pneumatic control valve system can be calculated according to the established physical model, and the calculation results are consistent with the experimental result. Lastly, a self-calibration PID (SC-PID) control method is proposed for backlash error elimination. The proposed method can solve valve stem oscillation caused by backlash during valve control.
Valve positioner is the core component of the pneumatic control valve. A new software and hardware design scheme of intelligent valve positioner is presented in this paper. The circuit composition of each part of the intelligent valve positioner is introduced in hardware part. Based on it, a hardware solution to realize HART ‘multi-point’ communication is proposed in this research. In the software design, a novel combined PID control algorithm is proposed to solve the nonlinear problem caused by the friction between the valve stem and the packing during the control process. Simulation results show that the method proposed in this paper is better than traditional PID method and fuzzy PID method. The software and hardware design scheme of the valve positioner proposed in this paper has certain guiding significance for the development of related products.
螺栓和法兰材料的选择是影响螺栓法兰接头密封性能的重要因素,特别是在高温条件下服役,螺栓法兰发生蠕变的情况下.分别选择法兰蠕变速率大于螺栓蠕变速率以及小于螺栓蠕变速率的两组配合方式,通过传热分析、热-结构耦合分析以及高温蠕变分析,对比研究其密封性能.结果 表明:螺栓蠕变和法兰蠕变都会引起螺栓应力重新分配,随着时间延长螺栓蠕变的累积会导致螺栓截面应力越来越均匀;但法兰蠕变的累积会降低法兰刚度,致使偏转角增大进而导致螺栓内外侧受力相差越来越大;法兰蠕变速率越大,法兰整体刚度下降越快,法兰服役周期越短,因此选择高温服役的螺栓法兰接头材料时,选取的法兰材料蠕变速率不能太大,且抗蠕变性能要比螺栓材料强.
