Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pipe protection clamping device for pipe handling. It is applicable to the field of pipe handling technology. Background Technology

[0002] Municipal infrastructure projects refer to civil engineering, pipeline, and equipment installation projects for urban roads, public transportation, water supply, drainage, gas, heating, landscaping, sanitation, sewage treatment, garbage disposal, flood control, underground public facilities, and ancillary facilities. Specialized equipment is required for clamping and handling pipelines during installation. Currently, due to the length of the pipelines, they are prone to collisions, impacts, or vibrations during transport, leading to damage. While protective sleeves are often used to protect the pipelines during transport, without internal support, they are still susceptible to damage under external pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the present invention provides a pipe protection clamping device for pipe handling.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a pipe protection clamping device for pipe handling, characterized in that: it has a pipe clamping mechanism that can be fitted onto both ends of the pipe, and a pipe support mechanism that can extend into the pipe is installed on the pipe clamping mechanism through an adjustment mechanism;

[0005] The adjustment mechanism has a rotating base fixedly installed on the pipe clamping mechanism. A flip plate is rotatably installed on the rotating base via a rotating shaft. A first telescopic mechanism is installed on the flip plate.

[0006] The pipeline support mechanism has an airbag mounting chamber fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic mechanism. The airbag mounting chamber has at least one mounting cavity, within which an inflatable airbag is installed. After inflation, the inflatable airbag contacts the inner wall of the pipeline. The inflatable airbag is connected to an air pump via a ventilation pipe. Thus, when the pipeline clamping mechanism is fitted onto the end of the pipeline, rotating the flip plate mounted on the rotating base places the airbag mounting chamber, mounted on the flip plate, inside the pipeline held by the pipeline clamping mechanism. The air pump inflates the airbag inside the mounting chamber, causing it to contact the inner wall of the pipeline, thereby providing support and strengthening the pipeline's structural strength, effectively preventing pipeline damage.

[0007] The first telescopic mechanism has a first telescopic sleeve mounted on a flip plate, the first telescopic sleeve passing through the flip plate, and a first telescopic rod slidably mounted inside the telescopic sleeve. Thus, by sliding the first telescopic rod within the telescopic sleeve, the arrangement position of the airbag installation chamber within the pipe clamping mechanism can be easily adjusted.

[0008] A handle is installed on the end of the telescopic rod away from the pipe support mechanism. This facilitates the operation of the first telescopic rod.

[0009] The air pump controller is connected to the control unit via a communication module. Thus, after the air pump is installed on the airbag installation chamber and moved into the pipeline along with the airbag installation chamber, personnel outside the pipeline can easily control the expansion and contraction of the airbag inside the installation chamber via the controller, thereby facilitating the pipeline support mechanism to support the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0010] The pipe clamping mechanism has a first clamping block and a second clamping block. The first clamping block has a first groove, and the second clamping block has a second groove. The pipe can be placed in the cavity formed by the first and second grooves. The first and second clamping blocks are connected by several second telescopic mechanisms. Thus, by adjusting the length of the second telescopic mechanisms, the distance between the first and second clamping blocks can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the clamping mechanism to clamp pipes of different sizes.

[0011] The second telescopic mechanism has a second telescopic sleeve mounted on a second clamping block. A second telescopic rod is slidably mounted inside the second telescopic sleeve. The end of the second telescopic rod is connected to the first clamping block. A mating hole is provided on the side wall of the second telescopic sleeve along the radial direction of the second telescopic sleeve. At least one positioning hole is provided on the second telescopic rod at a position corresponding to the mating hole along the axial direction of the second telescopic rod. The positioning hole is threaded. A positioning screw is installed on the second telescopic rod. The positioning screw passes through the mating hole and engages with the threaded positioning hole.

[0012] A clamping plate is provided in the first groove of the first clamping block, and the clamping plate is installed in the first groove by at least one spring post. In this way, by passing the positioning screw through the mating hole of the second telescopic sleeve and threading it into the positioning holes at different positions on the second telescopic rod, the second telescopic mechanism can be fixed at various length positions.

[0013] The second clamping block has a slot in its second groove along the pipe arrangement direction, and a track arranged along the pipe arrangement direction is installed in the slot. In this way, when the pipe clamping mechanism is fitted onto the pipe, the pipe will contact the track on the second clamping block and move with the track, which can effectively reduce the wear between the pipe and the pipe clamping mechanism.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention moves the pipe into the cavity formed by the first clamping block and the second clamping block, and adjusts the length of the second telescopic mechanism, thereby achieving the mounting of a pipe clamping mechanism composed of the first clamping block, the second clamping block, and the second telescopic mechanism onto the pipe; the track fixedly mounted on the second clamping block in this invention alleviates wear on the pipe during its movement within the pipe clamping mechanism, effectively reducing wear between the pipe and the pipe clamping mechanism; the spring column mounted on the first clamping block and the clamping plate mounted at the end of the spring column provide good cushioning and shock absorption for the pipe; in this invention, the pipe... The clamping mechanism is equipped with an airbag installation chamber that extends into the pipe, and an inflatable airbag is installed on the airbag installation chamber. This allows the airbag to be inflated and supported by an air pump after the airbag installation chamber is inserted into the pipe. In this invention, a rotating base is provided on the pipe clamping mechanism, and a flip plate is installed on the rotating base via a rotating shaft. The airbag installation chamber is installed on the first telescopic mechanism of the flip plate. This ensures that the airbag installation chamber is not in the pipe installation position during the process of fitting the pipe clamping mechanism onto the pipe, and also facilitates the movement of the airbag installation chamber into the pipe after the pipe clamping mechanism is fitted onto the pipe.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] This embodiment is a pipe protection clamping device for pipe handling, which has a pipe clamping mechanism 1 for mounting on the pipe. The pipe clamping mechanism 1 is mounted at both ends of the pipe. The pipe clamping mechanism 1 consists of a first clamping block 3, a second clamping block 4, and a second telescopic mechanism 9 connecting the first clamping block 3 and the second clamping block 4. The first clamping block 3 has a first groove 5 on the surface that contacts the pipe, and the second clamping block 4 has a second groove 6 on the surface that contacts the pipe. The pipe is placed in the cavity formed by the first groove 5 and the second groove 6.

[0023] The first clamping block 3 is located above the pipe. Several spring pillars 23 are evenly installed within the first groove 5 of the first clamping block 3, with the ends of all spring pillars 23 mounted on the same clamping plate 24. When the pipe clamping mechanism 1 is installed on the pipe, the clamping plate 24 contacts the outer wall of the pipe. During transportation, the clamping plate 24 and the spring pillars 23 act as a buffer and shock absorber for the pipe, effectively mitigating damage.

[0024] The second clamping block 4 is located below the pipe. A slot 7, arranged along the pipe's direction, is formed in the second groove 6 of the first clamping block 3. A track 8, also arranged along the pipe's direction, is installed within the slot 7. Thus, during the process of mounting the pipe clamping mechanism 1 onto the pipe, the pipe comes into contact with the track 8, and the track 8 moves as the pipe moves, effectively reducing wear between the pipe and the pipe clamping mechanism 1 during the mounting process.

[0025] In this embodiment, the second telescopic mechanism 9 has several second telescopic rods 25 and second telescopic sleeves 26 respectively mounted on the first clamping block 3 and the second clamping block 4. The second telescopic rods 25 and the second telescopic sleeves 26 are in corresponding positions, and the second telescopic rods 25 can extend into and move within the second telescopic sleeves 26. The second telescopic sleeves 26 have mating holes along their radial direction, and the second telescopic rods 25 have several positioning holes along their axial direction at positions corresponding to the mating holes. The positioning holes are threaded. After the second telescopic rods 25 are moved to a suitable position within the second telescopic sleeves 26, positioning screws 27 are passed through the positioning holes on the second telescopic sleeves 26 and threaded into the positioning holes at those positions, thus fixing the second telescopic mechanism 9 at that length. By adjusting the length of the second telescopic mechanism 9, the distance between the first clamping block 3 and the second clamping block 4 can be adjusted, allowing the pipe clamping mechanism 1 to clamp pipes of different sizes.

[0026] In this embodiment, an adjustment mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the second clamping block 4. The adjustment mechanism 2 has a rotating base 12 installed on the second clamping block 4. A flip plate 11 is rotatably installed on the rotating base 12 via a rotating shaft 13. The flip plate 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft and the rotating base 12 are rotatably engaged. A first telescopic mechanism 16 is installed on the flip plate 11. The first telescopic mechanism 16 has a first telescopic sleeve 17 that passes through the flip plate 11. A first telescopic rod 14 is slidably installed inside the first telescopic sleeve 17. When the flip plate 11 rotates to a certain angle position, the end of the first telescopic rod 14 can extend into the pipe clamped by the pipe clamping mechanism 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, an airbag mounting chamber 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the first telescopic rod 14 that can extend into the pipe. The airbag mounting chamber 10 has several mounting cavities 22 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the first telescopic rod 14. An inflatable airbag 21 is installed in each mounting cavity 22, and the inflatable airbag 21 is connected to an air pump 18 installed on the airbag mounting chamber 10 via a vent pipe. Thus, after the airbag mounting chamber 10 is placed inside the pipe, the air pump 18 supplies air to the inflatable airbag 21, causing the airbag 21 to inflate and contact the pipe. The inflatable airbag 21 supports the inner wall of the pipe, and the cooperation between the inflatable airbag 21 and the inner wall of the pipe also positions the first telescopic rod 14, preventing it from moving during use and ensuring good structural strength of the pipe. The first telescopic rod 14 can move within the first telescopic sleeve 17, facilitating adjustment of the position of the airbag mounting chamber 10 within the pipe clamping mechanism 1. A handle 15 is installed on the end of the first telescopic rod 14 where the airbag mounting chamber 10 is not installed, for convenient use.

[0028] In this embodiment, since the air pump 18 is installed on the airbag installation chamber 10, it is also arranged inside the pipeline. Once inside the pipeline, it is inconvenient for personnel to control the air pump 18 to supply air to the inflatable airbag 21. A control terminal is provided, which is connected to the controller 19 of the air pump 18 via a communication module. The control terminal is also connected to a signal transmitting module, and the controller 19 is connected to a signal receiving module 20. Thus, personnel can control the controller 19 of the air pump 18 through the control terminal, thereby controlling whether to supply air to the inflatable airbag 21. When it is necessary to remove the pipeline protection and tightening device from the pipeline, a signal is sent to the controller 19, causing the controller 19 to control the air pump 18 to run in reverse, causing the inflatable airbag 21 to contract, facilitating the removal of the pipeline support mechanism from the pipeline.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
