Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pipe gallery modular transportation, and more particularly relates to a pipe gallery modular transportation fixing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Modular design is to divide the whole device into several modules according to the process characteristics and functional requirements of the device, to design, manufacture, pre-assemble and single-machine debug the modules, to transport the modules to the project site through sea or land transportation, and to re-assemble, jointly debug and put into operation. Modular construction has many advantages, especially can significantly shorten the construction period and reduce the project cost and risk. The pipe gallery module is the most easily realized and the highest degree of modularization because of its steel structure and regular pipe laying.

[0003] In the pipe support structure of the traditional non-modular pipe gallery, the pipes on the pipe gallery are laid on the main beam through pipe supports, the height of the pipe support is adjusted according to the thickness of the insulation layer, and is generally 30-50mm higher than the external insulation. Most of the pipe supports only play a supporting role, and cannot resist the influence of acceleration, deceleration and jolting during the land transportation of the module, and cannot resist the influence of ship camber, sway, acceleration and deceleration during the sea transportation of the module, and are prone to cause serious damage to the pipes during transportation. In the prior art, flexible binding belts are generally used to bind the pipes and the pipe gallery structure together to prevent the pipes from moving, colliding and overturning. This method is mostly based on experience and judgment, and the binding form, firmness and binding point selection vary from person to person, and there is no unified operation criterion, and the fixing effect cannot be quantitatively calculated. In the case that the land or sea transportation route is known and the calculation condition is basically determined, the fixing force cannot be introduced into the calculation model to calculate the safety of the entire pipe gallery module during transportation.

[0030] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the invention are described below, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a modular transportation and fixing device for utility tunnels, the device comprising:

[0032] The pipe gallery is connected to the pipe gallery columns 2 at both ends. Multiple pipe supports 3 are provided on the upper side of the pipe gallery beam 1. The openings of the pipe supports 3 face upward and match the shape of the pipe 4.

[0033] The upper crossbeam 5 is detachably connected to the pipe gallery column 2 at both ends. Multiple inverted pipe supports 6 are provided on the side of the upper crossbeam 5 near the pipe gallery crossbeam 1. The openings of the inverted pipe supports 6 face downward and match the shape of the pipe 4. The inverted pipe supports 6 are connected to the upper crossbeam through the height adjustment structure 12.

[0034] Specifically, multiple pipes 4 are laid in rows on the crossbeam 1 of the pipe gallery. Each pipe 4 is supported by its own pipe support 3. The upper crossbeam 5 is connected to the pipe gallery column 2 with detachable bolts and nuts. The installation height of the upper crossbeam 5 is determined based on the diameter of all the pipes 4 laid in rows on the pipe gallery, the height of the pipe support 3, the thickness of the insulation layer, and the minimum installation space required by the device. The inverted pipe support 6 is matched one-to-one with the pipe support 3 to limit the position of each pipe 4. The crossbeam 1, the pipe gallery column 2, and the upper crossbeam 5 form a modular structure to realize modular transportation of the pipe gallery. The height of the inverted pipe support 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the height structure 12, thereby adjusting the clamping force on the pipe 4.

[0035] In one example, the height adjustment structure 12 adjusts the vertical load on the pipe 4 by the inverted pipe support 6, and uses the friction force generated by the vertical load to block the acceleration, deceleration and turbulence of the pipe 4 during land transportation, and can also block the effects of the ship's arching and swaying during sea transportation.

[0036] Optionally, the height adjustment structure 12 includes a connecting plate 7 and a stud 8. The connecting plate 7 is connected to the top of the inverted tube support 6. A through hole is provided on the connecting plate 7. One end of the stud 8 is connected to the upper crossbeam 5, and the other end of the stud 8 passes through the through hole. A nut 9 is threaded onto the stud 8, and the nut 9 is located above the connecting plate 7.

[0037] Specifically, after the device is installed, the height of the inverted pipe support 6 can be adjusted by rotating the nut 9 and utilizing the threaded engagement between the nut 9 and the stud 8, thereby adjusting the vertical load exerted by the inverted pipe support 6 on the pipe 4, i.e., adjusting the clamping force. When using a torque wrench to rotate the nut 9, the clamping force can be quantitatively controlled to accurately apply to situations where the calculated working conditions are basically determined.

[0038] In one example, the vertical load on the pipe 4 generated by rotating the nut 9 of the height adjustment structure 12 can be used as a basis for calculation and imported into the calculation model to verify the safety of the pipe 4 on the pipe gallery beam 1 in marine and land transportation conditions.

[0039] Optionally, the stud 8 is connected to the upper crossbeam 5 via an adjustment pad 10.

[0040] Specifically, the height adjustment pad 10 adjusts the installation height of the inverted pipe support 6 to prevent axial instability caused by excessive length of the stud 8.

[0041] Optionally, a friction pad 11 is provided on the open side of the inverted pipe support 6, which can increase the friction between the inverted pipe support 6 and the pipe 4.

[0042] Specifically, the friction pad 11 increases the friction force between the inverted pipe support 6 and the pipe 4, thereby improving the limiting effect on the pipe 4.

[0043] Optionally, one through hole and one stud 8 are provided, with the through hole located in the middle of the connecting plate 7.

[0044] Specifically, for small-diameter pipes 4, a configuration of one stud 8 and one nut 9 can be used. Generally, pipes DN150 and below 4 use one stud 8 and one nut 9.

[0045] Optionally, multiple through holes and studs 8 are provided, and the multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the connecting plate 7 along the circumference of the inverted tube support 6.

[0046] Specifically, for large-diameter pipes 4, a configuration of four studs 8 and eight nuts 9 can be used. For pipes DN150 and above 4, four studs 8 and eight nuts 9 are used.

[0047] Optionally, the height adjustment plate 10 can be made of steel plate, steel section or steel pipe.

[0048] Specifically, the height adjustment plate 10 is made of standard parts materials, which saves costs and has strong interchangeability.

[0049] Optionally, the open side of the inverted pipe support 6 is welded to the outer periphery of the pipe 4.

[0050] Specifically, when the friction between the inverted pipe support 6 and the pipe 4 cannot meet the requirements of the transportation conditions due to the rotation of the height adjustment structure 12 by its nut 9, the inverted pipe support 6 can be directly welded to the pipe 4 without the friction pad 11. At this time, the material of the inverted pipe support 6 should be the same as or similar to that of the pipe 4. When disassembling, the inverted pipe support 6 can be retained, or only the steel plate part welded to the pipe 4 can be retained.

[0051] Optionally, the pipe support 3 includes a variety of standard pipe supports, and the inverted pipe support 6 includes a variety of standard pipe supports.

[0052] Specifically, the pipe support 3 and the inverted pipe support 6 are both standard parts that match the pipe diameter, and the upper crossbeam 5 is also made of standard steel parts, so that each part of the device is composed of standard parts, which can be freely adjusted and combined according to the changes in the pipe diameter on the pipe rack, and the reuse rate is high.

[0053] Optionally, the friction pad 11 is a rubber pad.

[0054] Specifically, the friction pad 11 uses a 3mm thick rubber pad, which can increase contact friction and also play a role in buffering and shock absorption, avoiding damage to the pipeline 4 during transportation.

[0055] In summary, when using the modular transport and fixing device for pipe racks provided by this invention, multiple pipes 4 are supported on the pipe rack crossbeam 1 by multiple pipe supports 3. After the pipe rack columns 2 at both ends of the pipe rack crossbeam 1 are connected to the upper crossbeam 5, a modular structure is formed. At this time, multiple inverted pipe supports 6 and multiple pipe supports 3 cooperate one-to-one to restrict the multiple pipes 4 between the upper crossbeam 5 and the pipe rack crossbeam 1. By using a torque wrench to turn the nut 9 of the height adjustment structure 12, the height of the inverted pipe supports 6 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the vertical load on the pipes 4, and the load on the pipes 4 can be calculated. The friction force of pipe 4 and the vertical load can be used as the basis for calculation and imported into the calculation model to verify the safety of pipe 4 on the pipe rack in the marine and land transportation conditions. When the height adjustment of structure 12 makes the friction force between the inverted pipe support 6, the pipe support 3 and the pipe 4 unable to meet the transportation conditions, the inverted pipe support 6 can be directly welded to the pipe 4 without the friction pad 11. At this time, the material of the inverted pipe support 6 should be the same as or similar to that of the pipe 4. When disassembling, the inverted pipe support 6 can be retained, or only the steel plate part welded to the pipe 4 can be retained.

[0056] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
