Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline installation, in particular to a pipeline installation device. Background Art

[0002] The existing pipeline installation method is mainly to install electrical cables and water and gas pipelines separately and tightly, distribute them in sequence along the direction of the robot arm, and directly pass through the cable trough into the adjacent space.

[0003] This installation method has the following problems:

[0004] 1. The main stress points of the cable are where the cable is fixed and where the cable contacts the cable trough. During long-term movement, the stress points of the pipeline will wear more severely than other parts and are prone to breakage;

[0005] 2. The pipeline is not tightened regularly and will be subjected to various types of forces such as torsion and stretching during movement, which greatly reduces the tolerance of the pipeline and easily causes fatigue damage.

[0006] Therefore, how to design a pipeline installation device that can solve the above problems is a subject that the inventor has devoted himself to studying. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a pipeline installation device, which has a simple and ingenious structural design, reduces the wear and stress loss of the pipeline, avoids the blockage of water and gas pipelines due to excessive deformation, and improves the service life of the pipeline and the safety of machinery and equipment during long-term uninterrupted operation.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pipeline installation device, comprising:

[0009] Base: It is provided with a wire entry slot;

[0013] First connecting part: fixed to the upper end of the rotating mechanism;

[0014] The first bending portion is arranged at the upper end of the first connecting portion, and one end of the pipeline passes through and is clamped in the first bending portion.

[0017] Preferably, the bearing is fixedly mounted on the base via a sealing ring.

[0018] Preferably, the rotating wheel is a step pulley, the transmission assembly includes a synchronous belt and a driving wheel arranged outside the base, the driving wheel is connected to the step pulley through the synchronous belt, and the driving wheel is connected to the driving mechanism.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes:

[0020] Pipeline combing mechanism: fixed on the base, located above the pipeline fixing mechanism, including:

[0021] Mounting seat: fixed on the base, with a through hole at its center, the upper end of the first bent portion passes through the through hole, and rotates in the through hole driven by the rotating mechanism;

[0022] Limiting member: It is arranged at a position close to the outer edge of the upper surface of the mounting seat and the wire inlet groove, and is used to sort out the pipelines entering from the wire inlet groove.

[0023] Preferably, the limiting member comprises:
