Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft composite material pipeline technology, and in particular to a composite material pipeline support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the pipeline support structures used in the aviation industry are all standard parts, and the materials are mostly metal. During use, they need to be inserted from one end of the pipeline to complete the installation. Their function is to provide a high-strength fixing point for composite rigid pipes or flexible pipes, ensuring that they can maintain high stability on the aircraft.

[0003] The applicant has discovered that the prior art has at least the following technical problems:

[0004] Although standard-sized pipe support structures have uniform specifications, they cannot be perfectly matched with pipes of all diameters. Different pipe diameters require different specifications of support components, and standard components are difficult to meet the diverse pipe diameter requirements, which to some extent limits their wide range of applications and flexibility.

[0005] Furthermore, the excessive rigidity of standard metal pipe support structures makes them prone to damage under excessive tightening force. This not only affects the normal function of the pipe support but may also compromise the stability of the piping system, posing a safety hazard. If the pipe support is damaged during use, disassembly is extremely inconvenient. Especially when assembling within the piping system, removing the damaged support structure requires disassembling all parts at one end, increasing the difficulty and time cost of repair and reducing efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, when encountering irregularly shaped pipes, such as oblong pipes, standard circular pipe supports cannot be used directly and must be custom-made. The customization process is not only time-consuming but also has high production costs.

[0007] Furthermore, due to the inherent characteristics of the metal material in existing support structures, their thermal insulation performance is poor, and they do not coordinate well with the thermal insulation measures of the pipelines. For example, a layer of insulation cotton is usually added to the outside of the pipeline to provide thermal insulation and noise reduction. However, traditional support structures tend to interfere with the insulation cotton during installation, limiting the area covered by the insulation cotton on the pipeline and resulting in reduced thermal insulation efficiency. Because of the poor thermal insulation, a large temperature difference easily forms between the pipeline surface and the surrounding air, leading to condensation. The presence of condensation can corrode the pipeline system, affecting its service life and safety.

[0008] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a composite pipeline support structure to solve the technical problems of existing support structures, such as design defects, poor adaptability, lack of flexibility and versatility, inability to form good synergy with pipeline insulation measures, and limited application. The various technical effects of the preferred technical solutions provided by this utility model are detailed below.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0011] This utility model provides a composite pipeline support structure, including a support member capable of deformation along its length. The support member comprises an outer support plate, a connecting plate, and an inner support plate connected sequentially from the outside to the inside. Multiple inner support plates are spaced apart along the length of the outer support plates and are arranged parallel to the outer support plates, forming a space between the outer support plates, the connecting plates, and the inner support plates to accommodate a covering layer for installing the pipeline. A notch is provided in the connecting plate between two inner support plates. The support member has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the support member is straight. In the second state, the outer support plates are connected end-to-end to form a closed structure adapted to the pipeline. A limiting groove is provided on the outer wall of the outer support plate for installing clamps, thereby realizing the transition of the support member from the first state to the second state and fixing the closed structure.

[0012] Preferably, limiting protrusions are provided on both sides of the limiting groove, and the limiting protrusions extend along the length direction parallel to the outer support plate.

[0013] Preferably, the cross-section of the support member is I-shaped.

[0014] Preferably, the inner support plate is elongated and extends along the width direction parallel to the outer support plate.

[0015] Preferably, the outer support plate is plate-shaped, and its width is greater than the length of the inner support plate.

[0016] Preferably, the connecting plate extends along a length direction parallel to the outer support plate and is perpendicularly connected to both the outer support plate and the inner support plate.

[0017] Preferably, the notch includes a tapering section and an arc section arranged sequentially from the opening direction to the closing direction.

[0018] Preferably, the support component is integrally injection molded.

[0019] The preferred technical solution of this utility model can also produce at least the following technical effects:

[0020] This invention effectively avoids the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as defects in the support structure design, poor adaptability, lack of flexibility and versatility, inability to form good synergy with pipeline insulation measures, and limitations in its use.

[0021] This utility model provides a composite pipeline support structure, including a support member capable of deforming along its length. The support member includes an outer support plate, a connecting plate, and an inner support plate connected sequentially from the outside to the inside. Multiple inner support plates are spaced apart along the length of the outer support plates and are arranged parallel to the outer support plates to form a space for accommodating a covering layer for pipeline installation. A notch is provided in the connecting plate between two inner support plates. The support member has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the support member is straight. In the second state, the outer support plates are connected end-to-end to form a closed structure adapted to the pipeline. A limiting groove is provided on the outer wall of the outer support plate for installing clamps, thereby enabling the support member to transition from the first state to the second state and fixing the closed structure.

[0022] The support component of this invention can deform along its length, giving it a first state and a second state. In the first state, the support component is straight, facilitating production, packaging, and transportation.

[0023] When the support needs to be installed on the pipeline, a certain external force is applied to the support, utilizing its deformable characteristics to cause it to deform. The ends of the outer support plate gradually approach and eventually connect, transforming the support from a first state to a second state, forming a closed structure adapted to the pipeline. Because a limiting groove is provided on the outer wall of the outer support plate, after the support has transformed into the second state and formed the closed structure, a clamp is installed at the limiting groove. The clamp, through its own tightening action, applies radial pressure to the outer support plate, making the connection between the ends of the outer support plate tighter and more stable, thereby fixing the closed structure of the support and ensuring that the support is firmly fixed to the pipeline, providing stable support for the pipeline. During installation, the covering layer is inserted into the through-type receiving space formed between the inner and outer support plates, avoiding interference between the covering layer and the clamp, increasing the area that the covering layer can cover on the pipeline, improving thermal insulation efficiency, and preventing condensation.

[0024] Regardless of whether the pipeline is a standard circle, an oblong shape, or has different diameters, the support can be adjusted to fit the pipeline tightly, improving its adaptability, versatility, and flexibility. It can be widely used in various types of composite pipeline support scenarios.

[0025] Furthermore, a notch is provided in the connecting plate between the two inner support plates. This notch provides space and flexibility for the deformation of the outer support plate when the support transitions from the first to the second state. Simultaneously, the notch guides the deformation direction of the support, allowing it to smoothly form a closed structure compatible with the pipeline. Moreover, the notch deforms slightly when transmitting the clamping force, buffering excessive clamping force and extending the service life of the support structure. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a composite pipeline support structure, including a support member capable of deforming along its length. The support member includes an outer support plate 1, a connecting plate 2, and an inner support plate 3 connected sequentially from the outside to the inside. Multiple inner support plates 3 are spaced apart along the length of the outer support plate 1 and are arranged parallel to the outer support plate 1, forming a space between the outer support plate 1, the connecting plate 2, and the inner support plate 3 to accommodate a covering layer 6 for installing a pipeline 5. A notch is provided in the connecting plate 2 between two inner support plates 3. The support member has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the support member is straight. In the second state, the outer support plates 1 are connected end-to-end to form a closed structure adapted to the pipeline 5. A limiting groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the outer support plate 1 for installing a clamp 4, thereby realizing the conversion of the support member from the first state to the second state and fixing the closed structure.

[0036] The support component of this invention has low overall rigidity and can be manually bent into a curved shape, meaning it can deform along its length, allowing the support component to have a first state and a second state. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, when the support is in the first state, it is flat, which facilitates production, packaging and transportation.

[0037] When the support needs to be installed on pipe 5, first cut the covering layer 6 at the installation location of the support on pipe 5 and seal it with tape. Then, cut the support to the required length, place the support, apply a certain external force to the support, and utilize its deformable characteristics to manually bend it into a shape that matches pipe 5. The ends of the outer support plate 1 gradually approach and finally connect, and the support changes from the first state to the second state, forming a closed structure that adapts to pipe 5, such as... Figure 3 As shown. In this process, the covering layer 6 is inserted into the through-type receiving space formed between the inner support plate 3 and the outer support plate 1, avoiding interference between the covering layer 6 and the clamp 4, increasing the area that the covering layer 6 can cover on the pipe 5, improving the heat insulation efficiency, avoiding the generation of condensate, and ensuring the overall covering heat insulation and noise reduction function.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, since a limiting groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the outer support plate 1, when the support member is converted to the second state to form a closed structure, the clamp 4 is installed at the limiting groove 11. The clamp 4 applies radial pressure to the outer support plate 1 through its own tightening action, making the connection between the first and last ends of the outer support plate 1 tighter and more stable, thereby fixing the closed structure of the support member and enabling the support member to be firmly fixed on the pipeline 5, providing stable support for the pipeline 5.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting plate 2 has a notch located between the two inner support plates 3. When the support changes from the first state to the second state, the notch provides space and flexibility for the deformation of the outer support plate 1. At the same time, the notch can guide the deformation direction of the support, so that the support can smoothly form a closed structure that matches the pipeline 5. Moreover, when transmitting the tightening force of the clamp 4, the notch can deform to a certain extent, which can buffer the excessive tightening force applied by the clamp 4 and extend the service life of the support structure.

[0040] The spacing between the outer support plate 1 and the inner support plate 3 can be designed according to the diameter of the pipe 5 and the thickness of the covering layer 6. The support is then cut to the appropriate length, manually bent into a circle or oval, and fixed to the pipe 5 by clamps 4. This allows the support to adapt to the needs of different pipe diameters and different pipe structures, reducing the variety of products and improving product interchangeability.

[0041] Because the clamp 4 and the support, and the support and the covering layer 6 are detachably connected, the support can be removed from the pipeline 5 when needed. In case of failure, it can be directly removed for replacement and repair, enabling field repair with high efficiency and low cost. At the same time, the detachable and reusable design improves resource utilization and reduces operating costs.

[0042] The connection between the outer support plate 1 and the connecting plate 2, as well as between the connecting plate 2 and the inner support plate 3, is smoothly transitioned.

[0043] The preferred clamp 4 is the NAS1922 model clamp 4 from the existing technology.

[0044] As an optional implementation, limiting protrusions 12 are provided on both sides of the limiting groove 11, and the limiting protrusions 12 extend along the length direction parallel to the supporting outer plate 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the number of limiting protrusions 12 on each side of the limiting groove 11 is two.

[0046] The limiting protrusion 12 can limit the movement range of the clamp 4, prevent the clamp 4 from shifting, improve the stability and accuracy of the clamp 4 installation, so that the clamp 4 can always apply uniform radial pressure at the limiting groove 11, improve the fixing effect of the support, and thus enhance the reliability of the pipeline 5 support.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the inner support plate 3 is elongated and extends in a direction parallel to the width of the outer support plate 1.

[0048] Furthermore, the inner support plate 3 extends along an axial direction parallel to the pipe 5.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, after the support is fixed on the pipe 5, the inner support plate 3 contacts the pipe 5, providing a relatively uniform and stable support force to the pipe 5.

[0050] As an optional implementation, the outer support plate 1 is plate-shaped, and its width is greater than the length of the inner support plate 3.

[0051] After the support is installed on the pipe 5, the wider support outer plate 1 can cover a larger area of ​​the covering layer 6, thereby increasing the contact area between the support outer plate 1 and the covering layer 6, improving the fixing effect of the covering layer 6, making the covering layer 6 more tightly wrapped on the pipe 5, and improving the heat insulation, noise reduction and other performance of the pipe 5.

[0052] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the width of the outer support plate 1 and the length of the inner support plate 3 are set in the same direction, and the width of the outer support plate 1 and the length of the inner support plate 3 are measured along the axial direction parallel to the pipeline 4.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the connecting plate 2 extends along the length direction parallel to the outer support plate 1 and is perpendicularly connected to the outer support plate 1 and the inner support plate 3 respectively, so that the cross-section of the support member is I-shaped.

[0054] This design improves the structural strength of the support components.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the notch includes a tapering segment 21 and an arc segment 22 arranged sequentially from the opening direction to the closing direction.

[0056] Furthermore, the tapered section 21 is located at the open end of the notch, close to the inner support plate 3, and the opening size of the tapered section 21 is larger than the width of the inner support plate 3. The arc section 22 is located at the closed end of the notch, close to the outer support plate 1, reducing the possibility of breakage at the notch during deformation.

[0057] The spaced arrangement of the inner support plate 3 allows the outer support plate 1 more deformation space during bending, preventing it from being difficult to bend due to continuous obstruction from the inner support plate 3. The notch on the connecting plate 2 further provides greater flexibility and space for the deformation of the outer support plate 1, guiding its bending and enabling the support to smoothly transition from a straight state to a closed state compatible with the pipe 5. Simultaneously, during the bending process of the outer support plate 1, the inner support plate 3 gradually comes into contact with the outer wall of the pipe 5, providing support force to the pipe 5. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement of the inner support plate 3 ensures a more uniform distribution of support force.

[0058] It should be noted that the opening size of the tapered section 21 and the width of the inner support plate 3 are set in the same direction.

[0059] As an optional implementation method, the support component is injection molded as a single piece.

[0060] Furthermore, the support components are injection molded from nylon material with low stiffness, which can meet the requirements of manual bending into curved shapes.

[0061] This design improves the structural strength of the support components, increases production efficiency, ensures product quality stability, and reduces production costs.
