Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1-5As shown, a tooling for placing pipe sections for water meter metering and testing includes a movable base 1 and a support frame 101 mounted on the movable base 1. The support frame 101 is provided with a positioning plate 2, which has a plurality of positioning holes 201. The positioning plate 2 is provided with a plurality of position-adjustable support structures 3, each of which includes a support base 301 and a connector 302 connected to the positioning holes 201 for fixing the support base 301. The support base 301 is provided with a placement groove 3011 for placing the pipe section.

[0027] Furthermore, the support frame 101 is arranged along the length of the movable base 1, and the positioning plate 2 is fixedly installed on the support frame 101. The positioning plate 2 is arranged on opposite sides of the support frame 101, and a plurality of positioning holes 201 are arranged in an array on the positioning plate 2. The support structure 3 is connected in the positioning holes 201, and different positioning holes 201 can be replaced according to specific needs, thereby adjusting the distance and height between adjacent support structures 3 to meet the placement requirements of pipe sections of different sizes. At the same time, the support structure 3 includes a support base 301 and a connector 302. The connector 302 is connected in the positioning holes 201 to realize the adjustment and fixation of the support structure 3. A placement groove 3011 for placing pipe sections is provided on the support base 301. The pipe sections are placed in the placement groove 3011, thereby preventing the pipe sections from moving and falling, and thus improving the stability of the pipe sections.

[0028] The connector 302 has several snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 at its end that connect to the positioning holes 201. The snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 are arranged along the height direction of the connector 302, and the spacing between adjacent snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 corresponds to the spacing between adjacent positioning holes 201 in the same vertical direction. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 are arranged vertically and inserted into the positioning holes 201. The distance between adjacent snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 is the same as the distance between adjacent positioning holes 201 in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 can be accurately inserted into the positioning holes 201. The cooperation between the snap-fit ​​pieces 3021 and the positioning holes 201 realizes the installation and fixation of the support base 301.

[0029] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​3021 bends downward to form a bent portion 3024, which abuts against the positioning plate 2. When the snap-fit ​​3021 is connected in the positioning hole 201, the bent portion 3024 abuts against the positioning plate 2, thereby fixing the support structure 3 and ensuring that the support structure 3 will not loosen when connected in the positioning hole 201, thus improving the connection stability of the support structure 3.

[0030] The placement groove 3011 is located at the top of the support base 301, with its opening facing upwards. The bottom of the placement groove 3011 is provided with an elastic pad 3014 to protect the pipe section. Furthermore, the placement groove 3011 has an arc-shaped structure, which makes the pipe section more stable when placed in the placement groove 3011, thereby ensuring that the pipe section will not move or fall. In addition, an elastic pad 3014 is provided at the bottom of the placement groove 3011. The elastic pad 3014 can provide cushioning when the pipe section is placed, and at the same time, the elastic pad 3014 prevents the groove wall of the placement groove 3011 from damaging the outer wall of the pipe section.

[0031] The support base 301 is provided with a connecting groove 3012 for connecting the connector 302. The connecting groove 3012 is located below the placement groove 3011. Furthermore, the connecting groove 3012 is located in the middle of the support base 301. The connecting groove 3012 has an arc-shaped structure and is located directly below the placement groove 3011. The connector 302 is connected in the connecting groove 3012. The connector 3012 is used to support and fix the support base 301, thereby ensuring the stability of the pipe section after placement.

[0032] The connector 302 is provided with a fixing part 3022 that is adapted to the connecting groove 3012. The fixing part 3022 is plugged into the connecting groove 3012. Furthermore, the fixing part 3022 is located at the end of the connector 302, and the fixing part 3022 and the snap-fit ​​part 3021 are located at opposite ends of the connector 302. The structural shape of the fixing part 3022 is adapted to the connecting groove 3012. The fixing part 3022 is plugged into the connecting groove. At the same time, the support base 301 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 3013 for fixing the connector 302. The fixing part 3022 is provided with connecting holes 3023 that correspond one-to-one with the plurality of fixing holes 3013. The fixing part 3022 is connected to the fixing holes 3013 and the connecting holes 3023 by bolts, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the connector 302 and the support base 301.

[0033] The connector 302 is also provided with a fixing plate 303, which abuts against the positioning plate 2. Furthermore, the fixing plate 303 is vertically arranged and has several insertion holes 3031 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​member 3021. The snap-fit ​​member 3021 passes through the insertion holes 3031 and connects with the positioning hole 201. When the snap-fit ​​member 3021 passes through the insertion holes 3031 of the fixing plate 303 and connects with the positioning hole 201, the fixing plate 303 abuts against the positioning plate 2. The bent portions 3024 of the fixing plate 303 and the snap-fit ​​member 3021 are located on opposite sides of the positioning plate 2. The fixing plate 303 increases the contact area between the support structure 3 and the positioning plate 2, thereby improving the connection strength between the support structure 3 and the positioning plate 2 and improving the stability of the support structure 3.

[0034] Several moving wheels 102 are provided at the bottom of the movable base 1. The moving wheels 102 are respectively located at the corners of the movable base 1. The moving wheels 102 enable the movement of the tooling, thereby facilitating the transfer of pipe sections.

[0035] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention; therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0036] Although this document frequently uses reference numerals from the accompanying drawings, such as: movable base 1, support frame 101, movable wheel 102, positioning plate 2, positioning hole 201, support structure 3, support seat 301, placement groove 3011, connecting groove 3012, fixing hole 3013, elastic pad 3014, connector 302, snap-fit ​​3021, fixing part 3022, connecting hole 3023, bending part 3024, fixing plate 303, and insertion hole 3031, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
