Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a pipeline transportation device under complex geographical conditions such as mountains and hills and a use method thereof, belonging to the field of pipeline installation. Background Art

[0002] At present, the construction and transportation of coalbed methane long-distance pipelines in complex environmental conditions such as mountains and hills involves secondary transportation of pipes, which is often restricted by geographical conditions. For example, the construction access road is narrow, and the temporarily widened access road cannot meet the needs of large-scale transportation vehicles and cranes. This has the following disadvantages: 1. Widening the temporary access road requires additional labor, materials, and machinery, which increases the cost of construction measures; 2. Even if the access road allows construction machinery to pass, secondary transportation can only be carried out by construction machinery, which is not cost-effective and the reduced transportation efficiency leads to serious idleness, resulting in increased labor costs; 3. The undulating ground increases the risk of transportation. Ultimately, it increases the overall construction cost.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a transportation device that can get rid of the dependence of secondary handling on geographical conditions and large-scale transportation machinery, reduce transportation costs, improve labor productivity, and be safe and reliable. These are technical problems that need to be solved. Summary of the invention

One pipe is transported and welded, and the pipeline installation operation is completed in this cycle.

[0006] The present invention provides a pipeline transportation device under complex geographical conditions, comprising a pipeline arc-shaped bearing member, a bearing connecting pipe, an artificial auxiliary rod, a power device, a ball bearing, a bearing bearing device, a square connecting plate, a caster fixing plate, a caster, and a caster transmission device; The arc-shaped pipe bearing member is an arc-shaped structure, which is convenient for bearing the pipe.

An artificial auxiliary rod is horizontally and vertically arranged in the middle of the bearing connecting pipe. The ball bearing is fixed above the bearing bearing device. The bearing bearing device is a channel steel. Four groups of caster transmission devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the channel steel, which are respectively connected to the four groups of casters. A power device is arranged inside the bearing bearing device. The power device includes a motor and a motor transmission shaft. The power device is connected to the caster transmission device, and the caster transmission device includes a belt. The transmission relationship of the present invention is: the motor in the channel steel is connected to the caster through a belt, and the belt connects the shaft of the caster with the motor transmission shaft; the two shafts are in the horizontal direction and the belt is in the vertical direction.

[0007] In addition, the present invention can also be operated by an automatic control device, which includes a remote control, a controller and a battery. The remote control adopts PS2CTRL, and the controller adopts an STM32 main control board (with a built-in signal receiving device and a multi-function module). The battery provides power for the signal receiver and the controller. The control principle is: when the receiver receives the signal, it will transmit the signal to the decoder for decoding and conversion into a control signal. According to the different signals, the built-in multi-function module of the controller controls the speed, forward rotation and reverse rotation of the motor to control the device to move forward, backward, stop and adjust the running speed, thereby realizing the movement of the device.
