Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pipe corridors, and in particular to an aerial pipe corridor. Background Art
[0002] A pipe gallery is a corridor for pipelines. In chemical and related factories, many pipelines are concentrated together and arranged along the outside of the equipment or factory buildings. They are usually in the air and supported by brackets, forming an appearance similar to a corridor.
[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the announcement number CN211200700U discloses an aerial pipe gallery, which includes a top frame, a bottom plate and several tension beams connecting the top frame and the bottom plate. The tension beams are detachably connected to guardrails located on both sides of the bottom plate. The middle of the bottom plate has a notch, and a slope plate connecting the two fractures of the bottom plate is provided at the notch. One end of the slope plate is hinged at one of the fractures of the bottom plate, and a connecting component is provided between the other end of the slope plate and the other fracture of the bottom plate. The connecting component includes a sliding sleeve slidably connected to the bottom plate, and the sliding sleeve has a socket. The slope plate can be inserted into the socket, which has the advantages of convenient and safe up and down the pipe gallery for people and objects.
[0004] However, during actual use, problems may occur in some pipeline areas in the corridor and need to be inspected or repaired. It is difficult for staff to walk along the length of the corridor to carry out the corresponding repairs, which makes maintenance operations inconvenient. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to further improve the convenience of maintenance, the present application provides an aerial pipe gallery.
[0006] This application provides an aerial pipe gallery, which adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An aerial pipe gallery includes a base and a pipe rack, wherein the bases are respectively arranged at both ends of the pipe rack to support the pipe rack, the pipe rack includes a bottom frame, side frames on both sides and a top frame, the top frame includes a cross bar arranged at intervals along the length direction, the two ends of the cross bar are respectively connected to the side frames, the cross bar includes two half bars, one end of each half bar is hinged to the side frame, and the other end is detachably connected to the other half bar, the half bar includes a vertical bar and a horizontal bar, one end of the horizontal bar is hinged to one end of the vertical bar, and the horizontal bar is used to be placed on the bottom frame to form a walkway.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to repair the pipes in the pipe rack during actual use, the connection between the two half-bars can be removed, and then the half-bars can be flipped down and folded so that the vertical bars are vertically facing downwards to serve as side guardrails. The horizontal bars are placed horizontally on the base frame to form a walkway. Workers can walk on the walkway to inspect or repair the pipes. When the walkway is not needed, the half-bars are flipped back to the horizontal state to form a cross bar. The cross bar strengthens the overall structure of the pipe rack. At the same time, the cross bar is located above the pipe to provide corresponding protection and safeguard, thereby realizing the multi-purpose use of the cross bar and effectively improving the convenience of maintenance.
[0009] Optionally, there is a distance between the facing ends of the half rods and a sliding sleeve connecting the two is provided at the connection, and the sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the half rods.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, there is a distance between the half rods to facilitate the flipping of the half rods, and the ends of the half rods are connected by a sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve can be used to limit the flipping of the half rods. When the half rods need to be flipped to form a walkway, the sliding sleeve only needs to be slid away from the connection of the half rods. The operation is convenient and quick.
[0011] Optionally, a plurality of the sliding sleeves are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pipe rack, and a connecting rod is provided between adjacent sliding sleeves to connect the two.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the various sliding sleeves are connected into a whole through the connecting rod. During operation, it is only necessary to push the connecting rod to drive all the sliding sleeves to slide, without the need to operate them one by one, which makes the operation more convenient.
[0013] Optionally, the side frame includes vertical bars arranged at intervals, and the base frame includes horizontal bars arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pipe rack. The vertical bars are staggered with the vertical bars, and the horizontal bars are staggered with the transverse bars.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical bars of the side frame itself can serve as guardrails of the walkway. The staggered arrangement of the vertical bars and the vertical strips reduces the gap area between adjacent vertical bars, thereby improving the protection for people walking on the walkway. The staggered arrangement of the horizontal bars and the horizontal rods can improve the load-bearing density of the bottom walkway, making it more convenient for staff to walk and reducing the phenomenon of stepping into gaps.
[0015] Optionally, the base frame includes a bottom rod, and the bottom rod is provided with a positioning groove for the horizontal bar to be placed.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the horizontal bar is flipped to form a walkway, the horizontal bar is flipped and installed in the positioning groove, the state of the horizontal bar is limited, the stability of the horizontal bar after the state is switched is improved, and the safety of the staff walking is improved.
[0017] Optionally, a barrier rod extends upward from the middle of the bottom rod, and two barrier rods are arranged at intervals, a pipeline placement area is formed between adjacent barrier rods, and a pedestrian area is formed between the barrier rod and the vertical rod.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the barrier rod plays a role in blocking and limiting the pipes in the pipe placement area in the horizontal direction. The pedestrian area is for staff to walk, and the cross bar flipping is also carried out in the pedestrian area to avoid interference between the pipes and the cross bar flipping.
[0019] Optionally, a reinforcement rod is provided between adjacent vertical rods, and the reinforcement rod is arranged obliquely and has one end fixed to the top of the vertical rod and the other end fixed to the bottom of the adjacent vertical rod.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined reinforcement rods can connect adjacent vertical rods into a whole, effectively improving the overall structural strength of the side frame, while also improving the protective strength of the side guardrails when workers walk, thereby improving safety.
[0021] Optionally, the side frame includes a top rod, and the top rod, vertical rod, bottom rod, horizontal rod and reinforcement rod are all hollow inside and interconnected, and a water inlet hole is opened on the top rod.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, the internal hollowness can reduce the overall weight and material of the aerial pipe gallery, reduce production costs and facilitate handling and transportation. On rainy days, rainwater can enter the pipe rack through the water inlet hole, and the water in the top rod can quickly enter the bottom through the drainage of the vertical rod and the reinforcement rod until the hollow area inside the pipe rack is filled with water. The accumulation of water can increase the weight of the pipe rack and improve the structural strength to a certain extent.
[0023] Optionally, water outlet holes are provided at intervals on the bottom wall of the vertical rod, and a sealing member for sealing the water outlet holes is provided on the vertical rod.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, since most of the aerial pipe corridors are erected above the green areas on both sides of the road, the water accumulated inside can be discharged through the setting of the water outlet. After opening the closure, the internal water is discharged from the water outlet at the bottom, which can effectively achieve the corresponding watering of the green plants below, further realizing the multi-purpose use of the aerial pipe corridor.
[0025] Optionally, the closing member includes a slide bar slidably connected to the vertical rod, and a driving block extending into the positioning groove is provided on one side of the slide bar, and the driving block is a wedge-shaped block and has an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is located in the positioning groove. The horizontal bar is placed in the positioning groove to drive the driving block to move toward the inside of the vertical rod and drive the slide bar to move to open the water outlet, and a reset member is provided inside the vertical rod to drive the slide bar to reset and close the water outlet.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, in actual use, when the staff operates the flip cross bar to flip it to form a walkway, the cross bar is placed in the positioning groove to drive the driving block to move. The movement of the driving block causes the slide bar to slide sideways and no longer close the water outlet, thereby simultaneously realizing the opening of the water outlet and watering the plants below.
[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0028] 1. The crossbar on the top of the pipe rack can not only improve the overall structural strength of the pipe rack and the protection of the top, but also when it is necessary to repair or inspect the internal pipeline, the half-rod can be flipped to change the shape of the crossbar, thereby forming a good walking aisle for the staff to carry out maintenance operations on the pipe rack;
[0029] 2. The horizontal bars are staggered with the horizontal rods, and the vertical bars are staggered with the vertical rods to improve the protection safety of the side of the aisle and the load density of the bottom, making it easier for workers to walk safely and stably;
[0030] 3. The top rod, vertical rod, bottom rod, horizontal rod and reinforcement rod are all hollow inside, which effectively reduces the overall weight and production cost and is convenient for handling and transportation. By setting up water inlet and outlet holes, the use of rainwater can be realized, which can not only increase the weight of the pipe rack, but also irrigate the plants below, realizing the multi-purpose of the pipe rack.

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0037] An embodiment of the present application discloses an aerial pipe gallery.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an aerial pipe gallery includes a base 1 and a pipe rack 3. The pipe rack 3 is in the shape of an elongated strip as a whole. The base 1 is fixedly arranged at both ends of the pipe rack 3 and supports it, so that the pipe rack 3 is connected in the air. The interior of the pipe rack 3 is used for the installation and placement of some pipelines. The pipe rack 3 includes a bottom frame, a side frame and a top frame, wherein there are two side frames and they are located on both sides respectively. A support bar 2 is provided in the middle of the base 1. The support bar 2 is vertically spaced with multiple ladders. The staff can step on the support bar 2 to gradually climb up to the inside of the pipe rack 3 to perform maintenance and other operations.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base frame includes a bottom rod 4 and a horizontal rod 5. The bottom rod 4 extends along the length direction of the pipe rack 3 and is arranged at intervals along the width direction of the pipe rack 3. The horizontal rod 5 is arranged perpendicular to the bottom rod 4 and is connected to each other. There are multiple horizontal rods 5 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pipe rack 3. The top frame includes a cross rod 6. There are also multiple cross rods 6 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pipe rack 3. The side frame includes vertical vertical rods 7. There are multiple vertical rods 7 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pipe rack 3. The two ends of the cross rod 6 are also respectively connected to the vertical rods 7 on both sides. The cross rod 6, the vertical rod 7 and the horizontal rod 5 are fixedly arranged to form an integral pipe rack 3.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cross bar 6 includes two split half bars, one side of the half bar close to the side frame is hinged to it, and the other ends of the half bars are detachably connected to each other, so that when the ends of the half bars remain connected to each other, the cross bar 6 is in a horizontal state and located at the top, which can play a corresponding protective role for the pipeline below. A barrier bar 8 extends upward from the middle of the bottom bar 4, and two barrier bars 8 are arranged at intervals. A pipeline placement area 9 for placing pipelines is formed between adjacent barrier bars 8, and a pedestrian area 10 is formed between the barrier bar 8 and the vertical bar 7.
[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there is a distance between the ends of the half rods facing each other and a sliding sleeve 11 connecting the two is provided at the connection. The sliding sleeve 11 is slidably connected to the half rod, and the connection between the half rods is achieved by sleeves on the ends of the half rods at both ends of the sliding sleeve 11. When disassembly is required, only the sliding sleeve 11 needs to be slipped, which is simple and convenient to operate. At the same time, a connecting rod 12 is fixed on the top of the sliding sleeve 11, and the connecting rod 12 extends along the length direction of the pipe rack 3 to connect all the sliding sleeves 11 into a whole. During operation, all the sliding sleeves 11 can be moved synchronously, which is more convenient to operate.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the half-pole includes a vertical bar 14 and a horizontal bar 13. One end of the vertical bar 14 is hinged to the side frame, and the other end is hinged to the horizontal bar 13. When the staff needs to repair or inspect the pipeline in actual use, after removing the sliding sleeve 11, the half-pole is flipped downward so that the vertical bar 14 remains in a vertical state and the horizontal bar 13 is flipped to a horizontal state. At the same time, a positioning groove 15 is provided on the bottom bar 4 for the horizontal bar 13 to be placed horizontally and sink into. With the help of the positioning groove 15, the horizontal bar 13 can be limited to improve the stability after flipping. At this time, the horizontal bar 13 is connected to the adjacent bottom bar 4 to form a walkway for the staff to walk on. The vertical bar 14 can be used as a lateral guardrail for protection, thereby improving the safety of the staff when walking on it.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the horizontal bar 13 and the horizontal rod 5 are staggered in the length direction of the pipe rack 3, and the horizontal bar 13 is located in the middle between adjacent horizontal rods 5. The vertical bar 14 and the vertical rod 7 are staggered in the length direction of the pipe rack 3, and the vertical bar 14 is located in the middle between adjacent vertical rods 7. In this way, the horizontal bar 13 and the horizontal rod 5 are staggered, so that the area that can be stepped on at the bottom is denser, which is more convenient for people to step on and walk. The density of protection of the lateral vertical bars 14 and the vertical rod 7 is also higher, which further improves the safety of use. By transforming the shape of the horizontal bar 6, the horizontal bar 6 forms a good walkway for staff to walk, and the pipe rack 3 is no longer blocked by the horizontal bar 6, which is more convenient for staff to repair the internal pipelines.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the side frame also includes an obliquely arranged reinforcement rod 16, the two ends of the reinforcement rod 16 are respectively connected and fixed to the adjacent vertical rods 7, one end of the reinforcement rod 16 is connected and fixed to the top end of the vertical rod 7, and the other end is connected and fixed to the bottom end of the adjacent vertical rod 7. With the help of the reinforcement rod 16, the adjacent vertical rods 7 are connected into a whole, thereby further improving the overall structural strength of the side frame.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the side frame also includes a top rod 17. The top rod 17, the vertical rod 7, the bottom rod 4, the horizontal rod 5 and the reinforcement rod 16 are all hollow inside and interconnected. A water inlet hole 18 is opened on the bottom wall of the top rod 17 to achieve a reduction in overall weight and material cost, facilitate the transportation and installation of the pipe rack 3, and in actual use, rainwater on rainy days can be accumulated inside to play a corresponding weight-increasing role.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a water outlet 19 is provided on the bottom wall of the vertical rod 7, and a closing member for closing the water outlet 19 is provided. The closing member is a slide bar 20 that is laterally slidably connected to the inside of the vertical rod 7. At the same time, a driving block 21 is extended on one side of the slide bar 20 toward the positioning groove 15. The driving block 21 is a wedge-shaped block and has an inclined surface 22. The inclined surface 22 is located in the positioning groove 15. When the horizontal bar 13 is placed in the positioning groove 15, the driving block 21 is driven to move. The width of the driving block 21 is smaller than the aperture of the water outlet 19, thereby driving the slide bar 20. The water outlet hole 19 is no longer closed when it slides sideways, and the accumulated water inside can be discharged from the water outlet hole 19 to water the green plants below, further realizing the multifunctional use of the aerial pipe gallery. A reset member 23 is provided inside the vertical rod 7 to drive the horizontal bar 13 to reset to the position of closing the water outlet hole 19. In this embodiment, the reset member 23 adopts a reset spring, and the reset spring is provided on the side of the slide bar 20 away from the positioning groove 15. After the horizontal bar 13 is removed from the positioning groove 15, the slide bar 20 can return to its original position under the action of the reset spring.
[0047] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when it is necessary to repair the pipes inside the pipe rack 3, the horizontal sliding sleeve 11 is used to separate the ends of the two half rods, and then the half rods are flipped downward until the vertical bar 14 is in a vertical state and the horizontal bar 13 is in a horizontal state and placed in the positioning groove 15, forming a walkway for staff to walk in the pedestrian area 10. At this time, the staff can walk on the walkway to inspect or repair the pipes. The horizontal bar 13 is in the positioning groove 15 to drive the driving block 21 to move horizontally, thereby opening the water outlet 19, and the rainwater accumulated inside can be discharged to realize watering of the green plants below. After the repair is completed, the half rods are flipped to a horizontal state and then connected with the help of the sleeve 11, realizing the multifunctional use of the aerial pipe gallery.
[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
