Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pipe stacking technology, specifically a telescopic fixing clamp for stacking metal pipes and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] During the stacking, assembly, and transportation of metal pipes, instability, swaying, and rolling are common problems that seriously affect the safety and efficiency of the pipeline system. Traditional pipe fixing methods typically use "π"-shaped clamps between two pipes, but this method has several drawbacks: First, the distance between the clamp's two legs is not adjustable, limiting its applicability; second, the contact with the pipe is rigid, which can damage the inner wall of the pipe. Furthermore, existing fixing clamps often lack flexibility during the fixing process, making it difficult to adapt to pipes of different specifications and shapes, easily leading to unstable fixing or pipe damage.

[0003] To address these issues, the industry has been exploring more flexible, safe, and efficient methods for securing pipes. Some solutions improve stability by adding support points or adjusting the structure, but these methods often present operational challenges in practice.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special fixing fixture that can both ensure stability and facilitate practical operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: To provide a telescopic fixing clamp for stacking metal pipes, which improves fixing stability and simplifies actual operation compared with the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a telescopic fixing clamp for stacking metal pipes, comprising: a contact element for applying a clamping force to the pipes.

[0007] The telescopic clamp for stacking metal pipes includes: a base, a telescopic component, a first spring, and a second spring.

[0008] Multiple telescopic components are mounted on the base, the contact component is rotatably mounted on the telescopic component, the first spring is mounted on the telescopic component, and the second spring is mounted on the contact component and the telescopic component.

[0009] The first spring is used to move the contact member toward the base, and the second spring is used to rotate the contact member toward the telescopic member, so that the multiple contact members cooperate to apply a clamping force to the pipe.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the telescopic member is rotatably mounted on the base, allowing the telescopic fixing clamp to be rotatably retracted, making the fixing clamp easy to store and move.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a plurality of the telescopic members are arranged circumferentially around the base.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the fixing clamp further includes a first limiting part.

[0013] The first limiting part is disposed between the base and the telescopic member, such that the angle between the extension axis of the telescopic member and the central axis of the base is ≤90°.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the fixing clamp further includes a second limiting part.

[0015] The second limiting part is disposed between the telescopic member and the contact member, such that the angle between the extension axis of the contact member and the extension axis of the telescopic member is ≤90°.

[0016] In a further embodiment, the fixing clamp also includes a rubber pad.

[0017] The rubber pad is installed on the contact element, and the contact element is connected to the pipe through the rubber pad to prevent the pipe from being scratched.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the first spring is detachably mounted on the telescopic member.

[0019] The second spring is detachably mounted on the contact and telescopic components, allowing for easy adjustment of the spring to the appropriate size according to the pipe dimensions.

[0020] In a further embodiment, the base is also provided with a handle, which facilitates the operation of the fixing clamp.

[0021] In a further embodiment, the rubber pad has a toothed structure, and the contact surface has a toothed structure to increase friction.

[0022] In a further embodiment, the first spring and the second spring are tension springs.

[0023] The method of using telescopic fixing clamps based on stacked metal pipes includes: connecting multiple contacts to the inner walls of multiple adjacent pipes.

[0024] The first spring moves the contact member toward the base, and the second spring rotates the contact member toward the telescopic member, so that multiple contact members work together to apply a clamping force to the pipe.

[0025] The method of using the telescopic fixing clamp based on stacked metal pipes also includes: first separating the first spring from the telescopic component, and then separating the second spring from the contact component.

[0026] Then, multiple contacts are made to connect with the inner walls of multiple adjacent pipes.

[0027] Finally, the first spring is installed on the telescopic component, and the second spring is installed on both the telescopic component and the contact component.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This application enables the contact member to apply a continuous force to the pipe through the first spring and the second spring, which improves the fixing stability compared with the prior art that fixes the position of the contact member. Through the cooperation of the base, telescopic member, contact member, first spring and second spring, it is only necessary to open the telescopic member and the contact member to insert the contact member into the pipe and apply a clamping force to fix multiple adjacent pipes, which simplifies the actual operation and solves the problems of poor fixing stability and complicated operation of the prior art.

[0038] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid obscuring the invention.

[0039] This application provides a telescopic fixing clamp for stacking metal pipes, which improves fixing stability and simplifies actual operation compared with the prior art.

[0040] like Figure 1 and 2 The telescopic fixing clamp shown for stacking metal pipes 1 includes: a base 2, a telescopic component 3, a first spring 4, a second spring 5, and a contact component 6.

[0041] The contact element 6 is used to apply a clamping force to the pipe 1. Multiple telescopic elements 3 are installed on the base 2. The contact element 6 is rotatably installed on the telescopic elements 3. The first spring 4 is installed on the telescopic elements 3. The second spring 5 is installed on the contact element 6 and the telescopic elements 3.

[0042] The first spring 4 is used to move the contact 6 toward the base 2, and the second spring 5 is used to rotate the contact 6 toward the telescopic member 3, so that multiple contact 6 cooperate to apply a clamping force to the pipe 1. This clamping force is a clamping force that is directed toward the distribution center of multiple pipes 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod is a telescopic round rod, typically with two-stage telescopic movement. The outer end of the telescopic rod is equipped with a contact rod. The contact rod is a flat rod for mounting the rubber pad 62, and it has several anti-slip protrusions. These protrusions increase the friction between the contact rod and the inner wall of the pipe 1, preventing the fixing clamp from falling off. The base 2 has a connecting part 23 for mounting the telescopic component 3. The connecting part 23 has a rectangular structure and an internal spring telescopic rod mounting hole for connecting the base 2 and the telescopic rod. Several reinforcing ribs can be provided on the inner wall of the connecting part 23, evenly distributed along the circumference of the frame to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the frame. The base 2, the telescopic component 3, and the contact component 6 are connected by bolts with anti-loosening thread design, such as... Figure 2 The second spring 5 shown is installed on the contact member 6 near the telescopic rod, and its other end is installed on a section of the telescopic member 3 near the contact member 6.

[0044] like Figure 2 The telescopic component 3 shown is rotatably mounted on the base 2.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple telescopic components 3 are arranged around the circumference of the base 2. In this embodiment, three telescopic components 3 are arranged around the circumference of the base 2. At least one contact component 6 is needed in each pipe 1 to clamp the three pipes 1.

[0046] like Figure 3The fixing fixture shown also includes a first limiting part 21, which is disposed between the base 2 and the telescopic member 3, such that the angle between the extension axis of the telescopic member 3 and the central axis of the base 2 is ≤90°. In this embodiment, the first limiting part 21 is a protruding structure disposed on the base 2, which is disposed on the side of the rotatable connection part 23 between the telescopic member 3 and the base 2.

[0047] like Figure 7 The fixing fixture shown also includes a second limiting part 61, which is disposed between the telescopic member 3 and the contact member 6, such that the angle between the extension axis of the contact member 6 and the extension axis of the telescopic member 3 is ≤90°. In this embodiment, the second limiting part 61 is a protrusion structure disposed on the contact member 6, which is disposed on the side of the rotatable connection part 23 between the contact member 6 and the telescopic member 3.

[0048] like Figure 7 The fixing clamp shown also includes a rubber pad 62, which is installed on the contact member 6. The contact member 6 is connected to the pipe 1 through the rubber pad 62. In a preferred embodiment, the rubber pad 62 is made of wear-resistant rubber material and has a toothed structure.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the first spring 4 is detachably mounted to the telescopic member 3, and the second spring 5 is detachably mounted to the contact member 6 and the telescopic member 3, such as... Figure 2 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 are tension springs with hooks. The telescopic member 3 and the contact member 6 are provided with suspension parts so that the tension springs can be hung on the telescopic member 3 and the contact member 6.

[0050] like Figure 3 and 4 The base 2 shown also has a handle 22.

[0051] In use, a fixing clamp can be set at each end of each group of pipes 1 so that multiple contact pieces 6 can be inserted into multiple adjacent pipes 1 and connected to their inner walls.

[0052] The first spring 4 moves the contact 6 toward the base 2, and the second spring 5 rotates the contact 6 toward the telescopic member 3, so that multiple contact 6 cooperate to apply a clamping force to the pipe 1.

[0053] When adjustments are needed based on the spacing between the inner walls of multiple pipes 1, first separate the first spring 4 from the telescopic member 3, and then separate the second spring 5 from the contact member 6.

[0054] Then, the multiple contact elements 6 are connected to the inner walls of the multiple adjacent pipes 1.

[0055] Finally, select the corresponding first spring 4 and second spring 5 according to the inner wall spacing of multiple pipes 1, install the first spring 4 on the telescopic member 3, and install the second spring 5 on the telescopic member 3 and the contact member 6. The subsequent fixing clamps can directly use the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 of the same specifications to clamp and fix multiple pipes 1.

[0056] As described above, although the invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the invention itself. Various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
