In areas with complex pipelines, such as equipment corridors and complex layouts, the installation time for pipelines and supports is limited, making pipeline and support positioning a key focus of electromechanical installation. However, in complex corridor areas, multi-layered pipeline areas, and areas requiring high installation precision, using laser positioning devices to locate pipelines necessitates frequent repositioning of the devices to pinpoint different pipeline locations. Furthermore, each repositioning requires re-establishing the laser positioning device's location, making it quite cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To facilitate pipeline positioning and reduce the movement of positioning devices, this application provides a laser pipeline positioning device for electromechanical pipeline installation.

[0004] The laser pipeline positioning device for electromechanical pipeline installation provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A laser pipeline positioning device for electromechanical pipeline installation includes a housing, on which multiple mounting plates are slidably disposed. Three or more laser emitters are mounted on each mounting plate, the laser emitters being evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting plates. A first adjusting element is provided on each mounting plate for synchronously adjusting the position of the laser emitters. A second adjusting element is provided on the housing for adjusting the position of the mounting plates along the height of the housing, and a third adjusting element is provided on the housing for adjusting the position of the mounting plates along the length of the housing.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the relative positions of multiple laser emitters are adjusted by the first adjusting component to accommodate pipelines of different diameters. The height of the mounting plate is adjusted by the second adjusting component to adjust the vertical position of the laser emitters. The position of the mounting plate along the length of the housing is adjusted by the third adjusting component. This enables simultaneous positioning of different pipelines in complex corridor areas and multi-layer pipeline areas, reducing the movement of the positioning device and improving installation efficiency.

[0007] Optionally, the first adjusting component includes an adjusting disk rotatably disposed within a mounting plate. The side of the adjusting disk is provided with planar threaded teeth. The mounting plate has multiple sliding grooves, and a connecting block is slidably disposed within the sliding grooves.

The side of the connecting block near the adjusting disk engages with the planar threaded teeth. The mounting plate is provided with a rotating part for rotating the adjusting disk.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the adjustment disk causes multiple connecting blocks to slide simultaneously in the slide groove, thereby enabling the simultaneous movement of multiple laser emitters. After the movement, the laser emitters are located on the same circumference, which is beneficial for positioning different pipeline sizes.

[0009] Optionally, the rotating part includes a rotating ring rotatably disposed on the mounting plate, the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting plate is configured as a toothed ring, the inner wall of the rotating ring meshes with the toothed ring, and the rotating ring extends outside the mounting plate.

[0013] Optionally, the second adjusting component includes a plurality of lead screws rotatably mounted on the housing, the base being threaded onto the corresponding lead screw, and the base abutting against the side wall of the housing.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the lead screw causes the base to slide vertically, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height position of the mounting plate.

[0015] Optionally, the third adjusting component includes multiple sliders, both ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the sliders, adjusting grooves are provided on both sides of the housing along the length direction, the sliders are slidably connected in the adjusting grooves, and the housing is provided with a fixing component for fixing the sliders in the desired position.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 Please provide further details.

[0034] This application discloses a laser pipe positioning device for electromechanical pipeline installation. (Refer to...) Figure 1The laser pipeline positioning device for electromechanical pipeline installation includes a housing 1 with a side opening. Multiple mounting plates 2, each a circular disc, are slidably connected to the housing 1. Three or more laser emitters 3 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting plates. The mounting plates 2 are equipped with a first adjusting element for synchronously adjusting the position of the laser emitters 3. The housing 1 is equipped with a second adjusting element for adjusting the position of the mounting plates 2 along its height and a third adjusting element for adjusting the position of the mounting plates 2 along its length.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first adjusting component includes an adjusting disk 21 rotatably connected within the mounting disk 2, with the adjusting disk 21 coaxial with the mounting disk 2. The side of the adjusting disk 21 is integrally formed with planar threaded teeth 22. The mounting disk 2 has multiple sliding grooves 23; in this application, three sliding grooves 23 are provided. Each sliding groove 23 has a connecting block 24 slidably connected within it. The sliding groove 23 is a T-shaped groove, and the connecting block 24 is a T-shaped block adapted to fit the sliding groove 23. The connecting block 24 slides towards or away from the central axis of the mounting disk 2. A laser emitter 3 is correspondingly mounted on the connecting block 24. The side of the connecting block 24 closest to the adjusting disk 21 engages with the planar threaded teeth 22. The mounting disk 2 has a rotating part for rotating the adjusting disk 21. Rotating the adjusting disk 21 causes the multiple connecting blocks 24 to move simultaneously towards or away from the central axis of the mounting disk 2, thereby achieving simultaneous movement of the three laser emitters 3. After movement, the laser emitters 3 are located on the same circumference, which is beneficial for positioning different pipeline sizes.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating part includes a rotating ring 25 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2. The inner peripheral wall of the rotating ring 25 is integrally formed with teeth, and the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting plate 21 is integrally formed as a toothed ring. The inner wall of the rotating ring 25 meshes with the toothed ring, and the rotating ring 25 extends outside the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 includes a base 26, a cover 27, a connecting post 28, and a connecting bolt 29. The connecting bolt 29 passes through the connecting post 28 and the base 26 and is threaded onto the cover 27. The connecting post 28 is welded and fixed to the base 26 and is coaxial with the base 26. The adjusting plate 21 and the rotating ring 25 are both sleeved on the connecting post 28. The rotating ring 25 extends from the gap between the base 26 and the cover 27 to the outside of the base 26. A groove 23 is formed on the cover 27. Adjusting the rotating ring 25 causes the toothed ring to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the laser emitter 3 on the same mounting plate 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The second adjusting component includes multiple lead screws 4 rotatably connected to the housing 1. The rotation axis of the lead screws 4 is vertical. Limiting blocks 14 are welded and fixed to the base 26, abutting against the bottom wall of the housing 1. The limiting blocks 14 are threaded onto the corresponding lead screws 4. Rotating the lead screws 4 causes the base 26 to slide vertically, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting plate 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The third adjusting component includes multiple sliders 5. Both ends of the lead screw 4 are rotatably connected to the sliders 5. Adjusting grooves 6 are provided on both sides of the housing 1 along its length. The sliders 5 are slidably connected within the adjusting grooves 6. The adjusting grooves 6 are T-shaped grooves, and the sliders 5 are T-shaped blocks adapted to the adjusting grooves 6. The housing 1 is provided with a fixing component for fixing the sliders 5 in the desired position. The fixing component includes a rack 7 fixedly connected to the side wall of the adjusting groove 6. A gear 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the slider 5, meshing with the rack 7. A connecting bushing 13 is welded and fixed to the slider 5, passing through the slider 5. The gear 8 is rotatably fitted onto the connecting bushing 13, and the lead screw 4 rotatably passes through the connecting bushing 13, with one end of the lead screw 4 extending outside the connecting bushing 13. The slider 5 is provided with a limiting part for adjusting and restricting the rotation of the gear 8.

[0039] The slider 5 moves within the adjustment groove 6, thereby adjusting the position of the lead screw 4 along the length of the housing 1 and the position of the laser emitter 3 along the length of the housing 1, so as to facilitate the positioning of pipelines at different locations. When the slider 5 moves, the gear 8 rotates on the rack. When it is necessary to fix the position of the slider 5, the rotation of the gear 8 is restricted, thus fixing the slider 5.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting part includes an adjusting rod 9 rotatably connected to the side of the slider 5. The adjusting rod 9 is an L-shaped rod, and its middle part is hinged to the slider 5. The hinge axis 12 of the adjusting rod 9 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the gear 8. A limiting rack 10 is welded and fixed to one end of the adjusting rod 9 near the gear 8. The limiting rack 10 meshes with the gear 8. An elastic element is provided on the slider 5 to drive the limiting rack 10 toward the gear 8. The elastic element includes a torsion spring 11. A hinge axis 12 is welded and fixed to the slider 5. The adjusting rod 9 is rotatably sleeved on the hinge axis 12, and the torsion spring 11 is sleeved on the hinge axis 12. One end of the torsion spring 11 is fixedly connected to the adjusting rod 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to the slider 5.

[0041] Rotating the upper end of the adjusting rod 9 separates the limiting rack 10 from the gear 8, allowing the slider 5 to move easily and quickly. After releasing the adjusting rod 9, the torsion spring 11 drives the adjusting rod 9 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting rod 9 to engage the limiting rack 10 with the gear 8, achieving self-locking of the slider 5.

[0042] The implementation principle of a laser pipeline positioning device for electromechanical pipeline installation according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The rotating ring 25 is manually adjusted, causing the adjusting plate 21 to rotate. The adjusting plate 21 then moves the three connecting blocks 24, adjusting the three laser emitters 3 to the required diameter circumference. Next, the adjusting rod 9 is rotated, causing the limiting rack 10 to separate from the gear 8, pushing the slider 5 to the required position. The adjusting rod 9 is then released, and the limiting rack 10 engages with the gear 8, fixing the slider 5. Then, the lead screw 4 is manually rotated, causing the mounting plate 2 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the laser emitters 3. After adjusting the positions of multiple mounting plates 2, the positions of multiple pipelines can be simultaneously located, thus achieving simultaneous positioning of different pipelines in complex corridor areas and multi-layer pipeline areas, reducing the movement of the positioning device and improving installation efficiency.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
