Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe fitting construction equipment technology, and in particular to a lifting support device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the dismantling and installation of pipe fittings inside buildings typically involves the following steps: When dismantling pipe fittings, scaffolding must first be erected to support them. After the pipes are dismantled, they are moved manually, and finally the scaffolding is dismantled. When installing pipe fittings, manual handling of the pipe fittings, scaffolding pre-support, pipe connection, and dismantling of the scaffolding are also required. If a large number of pipe fittings need to be dismantled and installed, the above process needs to be repeated.

[0003] It is evident that the existing methods are extremely cumbersome, consume a great deal of manpower and resources, significantly impact work efficiency, and pose significant safety risks to construction workers during the operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art in pipeline installation and dismantling work, which consume a lot of manpower and material resources, affect work efficiency and construction safety, and provide a lifting support device.

[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0006] A lifting support device includes: a bracket, a support frame, a height adjustment device, and a horizontal moving device; wherein, the support frame is used to support pipe fittings, the support frame is disposed on the support frame and configured to be vertically movable along the support frame, the height adjustment device is connected to the support frame, the height adjustment device is used to move the support frame vertically and stop the support frame at a predetermined height; the horizontal moving device is located on the bottom surface of the lifting support device, the horizontal moving device is used to allow the lifting support device to move freely in the horizontal direction.

[0007] In this solution, through the aforementioned structural form, during the disassembly or installation of pipe fittings, the height adjustment device can move the bracket vertically and stop at a predetermined height, allowing the bracket to support the pipe fittings without the need for scaffolding. The horizontal movement device allows the lifting support device to move freely horizontally, enabling the lifting support device to transport the pipe fittings without requiring a large amount of manual labor. Therefore, the lifting support device can reduce the labor intensity of workers, save working time, improve work efficiency, reduce the occurrence of accidents during manual handling, and improve construction safety.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting support device further includes a laser for identifying markings on the pipe fitting; the laser is configured to be aligned above the center of the bracket in a second direction, the bracket extending from the lifting support device along a first direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction and the vertical direction.

[0009] In this design, the first direction is perpendicular to the plane of the support bracket in the lifting support device. The bracket extends from the support bracket along the first direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to both the first and vertical directions. When it is necessary to disassemble the pipe fitting, a mark can be made on the pipe fitting. To ensure that the lifting support device is balanced when supporting the pipe fitting, the mark can be made at the middle (or approximately the middle) position in the axial direction of the pipe fitting. The laser can identify the mark on the pipe fitting. Since the laser is set to be aligned above the center of the bracket in the second direction, when the mark on the pipe fitting is above the center of the bracket in the second direction, the laser is aligned with the mark on the pipe fitting, thereby aligning the center of the bracket in the second direction with the middle position in the axial direction of the pipe fitting (the position where the mark is located). The pipe fitting is located above the center of the bracket in the second direction, which facilitates balanced support of the pipe fitting after the bracket is raised.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting support device further includes a control module electrically connected to the laser, the horizontal moving device, and the height adjustment device; the control module is used to lock the horizontal moving device according to the signal from the laser, and at the same time control the height adjustment device to displace the bracket and stop it at a predetermined height.

[0011] In this solution, the control module can control the horizontal moving device and the height adjustment device in a coordinated manner. When the laser is aligned with the mark on the pipe and the pipe is positioned above the center of the bracket in the second direction, the horizontal moving device is locked, causing the lifting support device to stop moving in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the height adjustment device is controlled to operate, causing the bracket to move in the vertical direction and stop at the predetermined height, so that the pipe is supported, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly work.

[0012] Preferably, the bracket includes a support frame; the support frame is provided with a groove extending in a vertical direction, the bracket includes a sliding arm, the sliding arm is slidably disposed in the groove, and the height adjustment device is used to make the bracket slide along the groove.

[0013] In this solution, the sliding groove on the support frame and the sliding arm on the bracket work together to enable the bracket to move vertically along the support under the drive of the height adjustment device.

[0014] Preferably, the bracket includes a bottom and a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion disposed opposite to each other, the first clamping portion being fixed to the bottom, and the second clamping portion being movably disposed on the bottom and configured to move in directions toward and away from the first clamping portion.

[0015] In this solution, when the pipe is located at the bottom of the bracket, the second clamping part is close to the first clamping part to clamp the pipe, thereby preventing the pipe from falling and improving operational safety; when it is necessary to remove the pipe from the bracket, the second clamping part moves away from the first clamping part, so that the pipe can be released.

[0016] Preferably, the second clamping portion is further away from the lifting support device relative to the first clamping portion.

[0017] In this design, since the second clamping part moves in the direction of approaching and moving away from the first clamping part, the second clamping part is further away from the sliding arm relative to the first clamping part. When it is necessary to clamp the pipe, the second clamping part moves closer to the first clamping part, thereby bringing the pipe closer to the lifting support device itself. This makes the overall center of gravity of the lifting support device closer to the lifting support device itself during the process of supporting or transporting the pipe, making the lifting support device more stable and less prone to tilting or overturning.

[0018] Preferably, the second clamping part is driven by a reciprocating drive device.

[0019] In this solution, the second clamping part is driven by a reciprocating drive device so that the second clamping part can move in the direction of approaching and moving away from the first clamping part.

[0020] Preferably, the lifting support device further includes a control module; the bracket is also provided with a proximity sensor, which is used to detect the pipe fitting. The proximity sensor is electrically connected to the control module and is located at the bottom of the bracket, the first clamping part, or the second clamping part.

[0021] In this solution, a proximity sensor can detect the pipe fitting. A proximity sensor is installed at the bottom. During the upward movement of the bracket, when the bottom contacts the pipe fitting, it sends a signal to the control module, thereby stopping the height adjustment device and stopping the bracket at a predetermined height. A proximity sensor is installed on the first clamping part or the second clamping part. When the second clamping part moves closer to the first clamping part and the second clamping part and the first clamping part contact the pipe fitting, they send a signal to the control module, thereby stopping the reciprocating drive device and clamping the pipe fitting between the second clamping part and the first clamping part.

[0022] Preferably, the second clamping part is connected to the bottom via a pivot, so that the second clamping part can rotate relative to the bottom.

[0023] In this design, the second clamping part can rotate relative to the bottom. When the pipe needs to be removed from the bracket or placed on the bracket, rotating the second clamping part will bring it closer to the bottom, providing more operating space for the pipe and avoiding the difficulty of removing or placing the pipe due to obstruction by the second clamping part.

[0024] Preferably, the horizontal moving device includes a steering wheel.

[0025] In this design, the steering wheel is an integrated mechanical structure that combines a drive motor, a steering motor, and a reducer. It can achieve translation and rotation at any speed and direction, as well as rotation and steering during translation at different speeds, making the movement of the lifting support device more flexible.

[0026] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0027] During the disassembly or installation of pipe fittings, the height adjustment device can move the bracket vertically, allowing the bracket to support the pipe fittings without the need for scaffolding. The horizontal movement device allows the lifting support device to move freely horizontally, enabling the lifting support device to transport the pipe fittings without requiring a large amount of manpower to handle them. This reduces the labor intensity of workers, saves working time, improves work efficiency, reduces the occurrence of accidents during manual handling, and improves construction safety.

[0050] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a lifting support device, which includes: a bracket 100, a support frame 200, a height adjustment device 300, and a horizontal movement device 400.

[0052] The bracket 200 is used to support the pipe fitting 700. The bracket 200 is mounted on the support 100 and is movable along the support 100 in the vertical direction Y. The height adjustment device 300 is connected to the bracket 200 and is used to move the bracket 200 in the vertical direction Y and stop the bracket 200 at a predetermined height. The horizontal moving device 400 is located on the bottom surface of the lifting support device and is used to allow the lifting support device to move freely in the horizontal direction.

[0053] Therefore, during the disassembly or installation of pipe fitting 700, the height adjustment device 300 can move the bracket 200 in the vertical Y direction and stop at a predetermined height, so that the bracket 200 can support the pipe fitting 700 without the need to erect scaffolding; the horizontal moving device 400 allows the lifting support device to move freely in the horizontal direction, so that the lifting support device can complete the transportation of pipe fitting 700 without a large amount of manpower to carry the pipe fitting 700; therefore, the lifting support device can reduce the labor intensity of workers, save working time, improve work efficiency, reduce the occurrence of accidents during manual handling, and improve construction safety.

[0054] Specifically, the bracket 100 includes a base 120 and a support frame 110 disposed on the base 120. The support frame 110 is provided with a groove 111 extending in the vertical direction Y. The bracket 200 includes a sliding arm 210, which is slidably disposed in the groove 111. Thus, through the cooperation of the groove 111 and the sliding arm 210, the bracket 200 can move along the bracket 100 in the vertical direction Y under the drive of the height adjustment device 300.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the height adjustment device 300 is a reversible winch. The reversible winch is fixed on the support frame 110 and is located on both sides of the support frame 110, respectively, along with the bracket 200. The reversible winch has a traction rope that passes around the top of the support frame 110 and connects to the bracket 200. Thus, the reversible winch can drive the bracket 200 to move up and down in the vertical direction Y. In other optional embodiments, the height adjustment device 300 can also be an electro-hydraulic push rod, which is placed below the bracket 200 to achieve up and down movement of the bracket 200 in the vertical direction Y; or other devices capable of moving the bracket 200 up and down in the vertical direction Y can be selected.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the horizontal moving device 400 is a steering wheel, which is located below the base 120. The steering wheel is an integrated mechanical structure that combines a drive motor, a steering motor, a reducer, etc. It can achieve translation and rotation at any speed in any direction, as well as rotation and steering during translation at different speeds, making the movement of the lifting support device more flexible.

[0057] Furthermore, the bracket 200 also includes a bottom 220, a first clamping portion 230 and a second clamping portion 240 disposed opposite to each other. The first clamping portion 230 is fixed to the bottom 220, and the second clamping portion 240 is movably disposed on the bottom 220 and configured to move in directions toward and away from the first clamping portion 230. The bottom 220 is used to support the pipe fitting 700 and provide force support for the pipe fitting 700. When the pipe fitting 700 is located on the bottom 220 of the bracket 200, the second clamping portion 240 approaches the first clamping portion 230, thereby clamping the pipe fitting 700 between the second clamping portion 240 and the first clamping portion 230 to prevent the pipe fitting 700 from falling and improve operational safety; when it is necessary to remove the pipe fitting 700 from the bracket 200, the second clamping portion 240 moves away from the first clamping portion 230, and the pipe fitting 700 can be released.

[0058] Specifically, the bottom 220 of the bracket 200 is connected to the sliding arm 210. The second clamping part 240 is further away from the lifting support device than the first clamping part 230. That is, the first clamping part 230 is closer to the sliding arm 210, while the second clamping part 240 is further away from the sliding arm 210. Since the second clamping part 240 moves in the direction of approaching and moving away from the first clamping part 230, and the second clamping part 240 is further away from the sliding arm 210 than the first clamping part 230, when it is necessary to clamp the pipe 700, the second clamping part 240 moves closer to the first clamping part 230, thereby bringing the pipe 700 closer to the lifting support device itself. This makes the overall center of gravity of the lifting support device closer to the lifting support device itself during the process of supporting or transporting the pipe 700, making the lifting support device more stable and less prone to tilting or tipping over.

[0059] Specifically, the second clamping part 240 is driven by a reciprocating drive device 270, which enables the second clamping part 240 to reciprocate in the direction of approaching and moving away from the first clamping part 230.

[0060] In this embodiment, the reciprocating drive device 270 is an electro-hydraulic push rod. In other optional embodiments, the reciprocating drive device 270 may also be other devices capable of driving the second clamping part 240 to reciprocate, such as belt drive devices, sprocket drive devices, etc.

[0061] Specifically, the bottom 220 is provided with a slide rail, and the second clamping part 240 is connected to the bottom 220 via a pivot 250. The pivot 250 is slidably disposed in the slide rail so that the second clamping part 240 can move on the bottom 220 in directions close to and away from the first clamping part 230.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 250 is a damped rotating shaft 250, allowing the second clamping part 240 to rotate relative to the bottom 220. Since the second clamping part 240 is further away from the lifting support device than the first clamping part 230, when the pipe 700 needs to be removed from the bracket 200 or placed on the bracket 200, rotating the second clamping part 240 away from the first clamping part 230 and closer to the bottom 220 provides more operating space for the pipe 700, avoiding increased difficulty in removing or placing the pipe 700 due to obstruction by the second clamping part 240. A locking rod 260 is detachably provided between the second clamping part 240 and the bottom 220 to prevent the pipe 700 from being unable to be clamped due to the rotation of the second clamping part 240.

[0063] Furthermore, the lifting support device also includes a laser 500 and a control module 600. The bracket 200 is also equipped with a proximity sensor 280. The control module 600 is electrically connected to the laser 500, the horizontal moving device 400, the height adjusting device 300, the reciprocating drive device 270, and the proximity sensor 280 to realize the linkage control of the lifting support device.

[0064] Specifically, the laser 500 is used to identify markings on the pipe fitting 700; the laser 500 is configured to align the bracket 200 above the center in a second direction, the bracket 200 extending from the lifting support device along the first direction X, and the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction X and the vertical direction Y.

[0065] The first direction X is perpendicular to the plane where the support 100 is located in the lifting support device. The bracket 200 extends from the support 100 along the first direction X. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction X and the vertical direction Y. When it is necessary to disassemble the pipe 700, a mark can be made on the pipe 700. In order to make the lifting support device bear force balance when supporting the pipe 700, the mark can be made at the middle position (or approximately the middle position) of the pipe 700 in the axial direction. The laser 500 can identify the mark on the pipe 700. Since the laser 500 is set to be aligned above the center of the bracket 200 in the second direction, when the mark on the pipe 700 is above the center of the bracket 200 in the second direction, the laser 500 is aligned with the mark on the pipe 700, thereby aligning the center of the bracket 200 in the second direction with the middle position of the pipe 700 in the axial direction (the position where the mark is located). The middle position of the pipe 700 in the axial direction is above the center of the bracket 200 in the second direction, which facilitates the support of the bracket 200 to bear force balance on the pipe 700 after it is raised.

[0066] The control module 600 is used to lock the horizontal moving device 400 according to the signal from the laser 500, and at the same time control the height adjustment device 300 to move the bracket 200 and stop it at a predetermined height.

[0067] In this embodiment, the control module 600 may be a PC, PLC, integrated circuit, control program stored in a storage module, etc., which can perform logical judgments and issue control commands based on the received signals.

[0068] The proximity sensor 280 is used to detect the pipe fitting 700. The proximity sensor 280 is disposed on the bottom 220, the first clamping part 230, or the second clamping part 240 of the bracket 200. In this embodiment, the proximity sensor 280 is disposed on the bottom 220, the first clamping part 230, and the second clamping part 240 of the bracket 200, respectively.

[0069] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble pipe fitting 700, the lifting support device can be operated as follows:

[0070] First, a mark is made at the midpoint of the pipe fitting 700's axial direction. Then, the horizontal moving device 400 is controlled to move, roughly positioning the lifting support device below the pipe fitting 700. The laser 500 is activated, emitting a measuring laser. The horizontal moving device 400 is fine-tuned so that the laser emitted by the laser 500 is aligned with the mark on the pipe fitting 700. At this point, the bracket 200 is directly below the midpoint of the pipe fitting 700's axial direction. The laser 500 sends a signal to the control module 600. Based on the signal from the laser 500, the control module 600 locks the horizontal moving device 400, preventing the lifting support device from moving horizontally. Simultaneously, the control module 600 controls the height adjustment device 300 to move, causing the bracket 200 to move upwards. Because a proximity sensor 280 is installed at the bottom 220 of the bracket 200, when the bottom 220 contacts the pipe 700, it sends a signal to the control module 600, causing the height adjustment device 300 to stop operating, thus stopping the bracket 200 at a predetermined height, that is, the height at which the bottom 220 of the bracket 200 supports the pipe 700. Subsequently, the control module 600 controls the reciprocating drive device 270 to operate, driving the second clamping part 240 to move closer to the first clamping part 230. When the proximity sensors 280 on the first clamping part 230 and the second clamping part 240 detect the pipe 700, it indicates that the first clamping part 230 and the second clamping part 240 have clamped the pipe 700. The proximity sensor 280 sends a signal to the control module 600, controlling the reciprocating drive device 270 to stop operating. Thus, the lifting support device achieves the supporting function for the pipe 700. After the pipe fitting 700 is disassembled, the height adjustment device 300 is moved downwards to lower the pipe fitting 700 to a suitable height. Then, the horizontal moving device 400 is operated to transport the pipe fitting 700 to the loading and unloading area. When the pipe fitting 700 needs to be unloaded from the bracket 200, the reciprocating drive device 270 is controlled to run in the opposite direction, driving the second clamping part 240 to move away from the first clamping part 230, thereby releasing the pipe fitting 700 and making it easier to unload.

[0071] When it is necessary to install the pipe fitting 700, first control the height adjustment device 300 to move the bracket 200 up and down along the support 100 in the vertical direction Y to a suitable position. After placing the pipe fitting 700 on the bracket 200, control the reciprocating drive device 270 to move the second clamping part 240 towards the first clamping part 230 to clamp the pipe fitting 700. Then, control the horizontal moving device 400 to move the lifting support device, transporting the pipe fitting 700 below the installation position. Control the height adjustment device 300 to move the bracket 200 and the pipe fitting 700 on the bracket 200 to the installation position and stop, thereby providing support for the installation of the pipe fitting 700. After the pipe fitting 700 is installed, control the reciprocating drive device 270 to run in reverse, causing the second clamping part 240 to move away from the first clamping part 230, releasing the pipe fitting 700. Then, control the height adjustment device 300 to run in reverse, causing the bracket 200 to move down to a suitable position. Control the horizontal moving device 400 to run and remove the lifting support device.

[0072] Furthermore, when removing the pipe fitting 700 from the bracket 200 or placing the pipe fitting 700 on the bracket 200, the second clamping part 240 can be rotated to facilitate the movement of the pipe fitting 700, depending on the actual situation.
