Valve position detection apparatus for wellsite equipment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920465B2) discloses an apparatus, system, and method for detecting and indicating the operational position of a valve. The apparatus includes a sensor that is in contactless communication with a target surface on a moveable part of the valve to measure the detected distance along an axis, determining the valve's operational position. The sensor can be in acoustic or electromagnetic communication with the target surface, and various sensor assemblies such as ultrasonic TOF, laser TOF, LIDAR TOF, or radar TOF can be utilized.
Furthermore, the system comprises the apparatus and a processor that generates a display signal indicating the valve's operational position based on the output signal from the sensor. A display unit can be used to show an image representing the actuator's position, even if it is located remotely from the valve or associated equipment. The method involves securing the apparatus to the valve, measuring the detected distance, and indicating the operational position based on this measurement. The method includes processing the output signal, converting it into an image or data, and displaying it on a display unit, with the option of releasably connecting the apparatus to a non-moving part of the valve or associated equipment for ease of use.
