Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline support technology, and in particular to a pipeline support device. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear fusion reactors contain intricate piping systems that perform critical functions such as cooling, vacuum control, fuel injection, and tritium extraction. Before these pipes are finally positioned and fixed, a reliable, flexible, and efficient temporary support device is needed to precisely fix their spatial position, providing a stable reference for subsequent operations such as flange connections, welding, and measurements. Currently, temporary support is mainly achieved through welded temporary fixing or customized chemical fittings for different pipe types.

[0003] Welded temporary supports involve directly welding temporary support blocks, brackets, or trestles to prefabricated structures (such as walls or steel frames) around the pipeline, securing the pipeline using slots or spot welding. However, this approach has several drawbacks. Welding and subsequent grinding and removal processes leave marks on the base material, potentially creating crack sources, and the resulting metal particles can threaten the ultra-high vacuum cleanliness of the fusion reactor. Secondly, the heat input from welding can cause localized stress and deformation in the supported pipeline and surrounding structures, affecting the final installation accuracy. Furthermore, it is a disposable tool, wasting materials and requiring re-welding each time, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Customized special-purpose tooling refers to a support frame or clamp designed and manufactured specifically for a particular pipeline at a specific location. This type of tooling is usually connected to embedded parts by bolts and does not involve welding itself. However, this customized special-purpose tooling has poor versatility. One type of tooling is only suitable for a single pipe diameter and a specific spatial location. This results in the need to design, manufacture, and manage a large number of special-purpose tooling in the complex construction of fusion reactors, leading to extremely high costs. Moreover, its applicability is poor. When the pipeline installation path is slightly adjusted or a design change occurs, the original special-purpose tooling immediately becomes invalid, making it impossible to adjust flexibly and resulting in waste. Secondly, it has weak support capacity for multiple pipelines. The design of tooling suitable for supporting multiple pipelines is difficult and the processing cost is high.

[0005] As can be seen from the above, both welded temporary supports and customized special tooling have drawbacks for complex fusion reactor environments, such as insufficient versatility, poor spatial adaptability, and weak support capacity for multiple pipelines. Summary of the Invention

[0036] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The following describes a pipe support device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the pipe support device 100 of this embodiment includes: a base 10, a first lifting mechanism 20, pipe support members 30, and a second lifting mechanism 40. The first lifting mechanism 20 is disposed on the top of the base 10; there are multiple pipe support members 30 arranged in the vertical direction, and each pipe support member 30 has a pipe positioning groove 30a on its top, wherein the lowermost pipe support member 30 is disposed on the first lifting mechanism 20; any two adjacent pipe support members 30 are connected by the second lifting mechanism 40, which includes a lifting member 41 and a crossbeam 42, the crossbeam 42 being connected to the lifting end of the lifting member 41; wherein, in any two adjacent pipe support members 30, the lower pipe support member 30 is connected to the lifting member 41, and the upper pipe support member 30 is connected to the crossbeam 42, and is configured to be adjustable in position along the length direction of the crossbeam 42 and adjustable in angle around the vertical direction.

[0039] The base 10 can refer to the component used to install and support the first lifting mechanism 20, and can be, but is not limited to, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and composite materials, etc. The base 10 can be, but is not limited to, square, round, etc.

[0040] The first lifting mechanism 20 can refer to a component that adjusts the height of the pipe support device 100 in the vertical direction. The first lifting mechanism 20 is located on the top of the base 10.

[0041] Pipe support 30 can refer to a component that supports a pipe. The number of pipe support 30 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, five, etc. Multiple pipe support 30 are arranged in the vertical direction. Each pipe support 30 has a pipe positioning groove 30a at its top. The top of the pipe positioning groove 30a is open. The pipe is placed on the pipe positioning groove 30a. This open pipe positioning groove 30a can accommodate pipes of different diameters.

[0042] The second lifting mechanism 40 can refer to a component that connects two adjacent pipe support members 30 and can perform lifting and adjustment functions. In the above technical solution, the second lifting mechanism 40 may include a lifting member 41 and a crossbeam 42. The lifting member 41 can refer to a component with adjustable length. The crossbeam 42 can refer to a component that connects to the lifting end of the lifting member 41. The crossbeam 42 can improve the structural strength of the second lifting mechanism 40, thereby improving the support capacity of the pipe support device 100.

[0043] In the above embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 20 and the lifting component 41 can be, but are not limited to, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, electric actuators, and adjusting screws, etc.

[0044] It is understandable that the base 10, the first lifting mechanism 20, the pipe support 30, the second lifting mechanism 40, and the pipe support 30 are stacked from bottom to top. Depending on the height or number of pipes, different numbers of the second lifting mechanisms 40 and pipe support 30 can be staggered from bottom to top. The base 10, the first lifting mechanism 20, the pipe support 30, the second lifting mechanism 40, and the pipe support 30 are detachably connected. The connection method can be, but is not limited to, bolt connection, quick-release pin / plug, snap-fit ​​connection, flange connection, etc., facilitating maintenance and transportation.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the pipe support device 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to the number and location of the pipes. For example, when it is necessary to support two pipes parallel in the vertical direction, refer to... Figure 1There are two pipe support members 30. Adjust the position and angle of the uppermost pipe support member 30 so that the two pipe support members 30 are parallel and have the same angle in the vertical direction. The two pipes are placed on the two pipe positioning grooves 30a respectively. First, by adjusting the length of the first lifting mechanism 20, the vertical position of the pipe closer to the first lifting mechanism 20 can be adjusted. Then, by adjusting the length of the lifting member 41, the vertical position of the pipe farther away from the first lifting mechanism 20 can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the pipe support device 100 can accurately fix the spatial position of the two pipes.

[0046] In other words, the number of pipe support members 30 can be set as needed, thereby supporting multiple pipes simultaneously. Furthermore, the height of each pipe support member 30 can be adjusted via the first lifting mechanism 20 and the lifting member 41, thus supporting pipes at different spatial heights. Secondly, since the upper pipe support member 30 is connected to the crossbeam 42 and configured to be adjustable in position along the length of the crossbeam 42 and adjustable in angle around the vertical direction, the upper pipe support member 30 can be staggered with the lower pipe support member 30 to support staggered pipes. The relative angle between the upper and lower pipe support members 30 can also be adjusted to support multiple staggered pipes, thus providing greater support flexibility.

[0047] It should be noted that the pipe support device 100 in this embodiment of the invention is used for temporary support during the pipe connection process. After the position of the pipe is determined and welding is carried out, the pipe support device 100 can be removed, and the pipe to be welded or installed is supported and fixed by permanent support fixtures.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pipe support device 100 can accommodate pipes of different diameters by providing an open pipe positioning groove 30a on the pipe support member 30, thus temporarily supporting pipes of different diameters and avoiding leaving welding or other connection marks on the pipes, thereby improving the reliability of the pipes. By flexibly adjusting the number of pipe support members 30 and the second lifting mechanism 40, as well as adjusting the position of the pipe support member 30 in the length direction of the crossbeam 42 and the angle around the vertical direction, it is possible to temporarily support pipes at different positions in three-dimensional space, and to temporarily support single pipes, multiple parallel or intersecting pipes, and other complex pipelines. Through the setting of the first lifting mechanism 20 and the lifting member 41, the vertical position of the pipe can be adaptively adjusted to provide precise support for the pipe, improving the reliability of the pipe support device 100. At the same time, the pipe support device 100 can be reused, which can reduce costs and improve support efficiency. In addition, depending on the size of the installed equipment, the temporary support device can be used individually or in multiples.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The pipe support 30 includes a support body 31, which includes a middle part 311 and an extension part 312. The extension part 312 is located at opposite ends of the middle part 311 and is arranged symmetrically. The extension part 312 includes a first part 3121 and a second part 3122 connected together. The first part 3121 is connected to the middle part 311 and is set at an angle with the second part 3122 and the middle part 311. The first part 3121 and the middle part 311 together define a pipe positioning groove 30a. The second part 3122 is arranged horizontally. The second part 3122 of the lower pipe support 30 is vertically connected to the lifting member 41.

[0050] In the above technical solution, the design of the first part 3121 and the middle part 311 makes the pipe positioning groove 30a a "V" shaped structure, which can limit the displacement of the pipe in the radial direction, facilitate the adaptation to pipes of different diameters, and prevent the pipe from rolling in the support, thus playing a role in stabilizing the pipe. The second part 3122 is arranged horizontally, which can provide an installation position for the lifting component 41, so as to better fix the lifting component 41 and transmit the force of the lifting component 41 on the pipe support component 30 located below in the vertical direction, reduce the impact of the horizontal component force on the structural stability of the pipe support device 100, prevent the pipe support device 100 from shaking, and improve the stability of the pipe support device 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 2 The first part 3121 is provided with a strip hole 3121a, and the strip hole 3121a extends to the second part 3122. The pipe support 30 also includes a pin 32 and a rolling element 33. There are multiple rolling elements 33, some of which are located in the strip hole 3121a, and are rotatably mounted on the first part 3121 by means of the pin 32.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the number of rolling elements 33 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, five, etc., and the rolling elements 33 can be, but is not limited to, rollers, shafts, etc.

[0053] In the above technical solution, there are multiple rolling elements 33, some of which are located in the strip hole 3121a and are rotatably mounted on the first part 3121 via the pin 32. This allows the pipe and the pipe support 30 to be in line contact, reducing the friction between the pipe and the pipe support 30, avoiding pipe friction damage, and improving the reliability of the pipe support device 100.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rolling element 33 includes a rolling element body and a protective sleeve, the protective sleeve being fitted over the rolling element body and having a hardness less than that of the rolling element body. The protective sleeve can be made of, but is not limited to, plastic materials, composite materials, or other materials with relatively low hardness.

[0055] In the above technical solution, the protective sleeve is fitted over the body of the rolling element 33 and has a hardness less than that of the body of the rolling element 33. The protective sleeve can protect the rolling element 33 and also prevent the pipe and the pipe support 30 from rigidly contacting each other, reducing frictional damage to the outer surface of the pipe and improving the reliability of the pipe support device 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 The second part 3122 is provided with a first mounting hole 3122a, the crossbeam 42 is provided with a second mounting hole 42a, the bottom of the lifting component 41 is provided with a first connecting column 411 and the top is provided with a second connecting column 412. The first connecting column 411 passes through the first mounting hole 3122a and is locked to the second part 3122 by a first nut 31221, and the second connecting column 412 passes through the second mounting hole 42a and is locked to the crossbeam 42 by a second nut 421.

[0057] In the above technical solution, the lifting component 41 and the second part 3122 are detachably connected by the first connecting column 411 and the first nut 31221, and the lifting component 41 and the crossbeam 42 are detachably connected by the second connecting column 412 and the second nut 421. The installation and disassembly methods are simple, facilitating maintenance, transportation, assembly, and disassembly, and can improve the working efficiency of the pipe support device 100. At the same time, the simple structure can also improve the reliability of the connection.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 The crossbeam 42 is provided with a through hole 42b, which extends along the length of the crossbeam 42. The bottom of the pipe support 30 is provided with a third connecting post 301, which passes through the through hole 42b. The portion of the third connecting post 301 located below the crossbeam 42 is constructed as a threaded post and is connected with a fastening nut 302. The pipe support 30 is locked to the crossbeam 42 by the fastening nut 302.

[0059] In other words, the through hole 42b is an elongated hole. The connection method between the third connecting post 301 and the pipe support 30 can be, but is not limited to, a fixed connection or a detachable connection, etc.

[0060] Understandably, by loosening or removing the fastening nut 302, the third connecting post 301 passes through the through hole 42b. By controlling the movement of the third connecting post 301 within the through hole 42b, the position of the pipe support 30 along the length of the crossbeam 42 can be adjusted. By controlling the rotation of the third connecting post 301 in the vertical direction, the rotation of the pipe support 30 around its vertical axis can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the included angle between two adjacent pipe supports 30. After adjustment, tightening the fastening nut 302 locks the pipe support 30 onto the crossbeam 42, thus achieving precise fixation of the pipe position.

[0061] In the above technical solution, the design of through hole 42b, third connecting column 301 and fastening nut 302 makes it simple and quick to adjust the position of the pipe along the length of the crossbeam 42 and the angle around the vertical direction. This can improve the working efficiency of the pipe support device 100 and also facilitate the disassembly of the pipe support 30.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the pipe support 30 has at least a partial support plane 30b, which is in close contact with the crossbeam 42.

[0063] The bottom portion of the pipe support 30 forms a support plane 30b, or the entire bottom of the pipe support 30 forms a support plane 30b. For example, refer to... Figure 2 The bottom center portion of the pipe support 30 forms a support plane 30b, which can save materials and reduce costs. It can also keep the center of gravity of the pipe support 30 in the middle, prevent the pipe support 30 from tilting, and make the pipe support 30 stably support the pipe.

[0064] In the above technical solution, the supporting plane 30b is in close contact with the crossbeam 42, which increases the contact area between the pipe support 30 and the crossbeam 42. This allows the weight of the pipe borne by the pipe support 30 to be more evenly distributed to the crossbeam 42, avoiding localized stress concentration that could lead to component damage and improving the service life of the pipe support device 100. Simultaneously, it also improves the stability of the supported pipe, preventing pipe swaying and further enhancing the reliability of the pipe support device 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pipe support device 100 also includes a movable wheel 50 and a retractable support 60. The movable wheel 50 is located at the bottom of the base 10; the retractable support 60 is located at the bottom of the base 10 and can be extended and retracted in the vertical direction.

[0066] The pipe support device 100 can be moved by the casters 50. At this time, the telescopic support member 60 does not contact the ground. After the pipe support device 100 reaches the designated position, the length of the telescopic support member 60 is adjusted until it contacts the ground, and the casters 50 disengage from the ground. At this point, the pipe support device 100 will not move on the ground, thus precisely fixing and stably supporting the pipe. The casters 50 can be, but are not limited to, swivel casters or one-way casters, etc. The telescopic support member 60 can be, but is not limited to, adjustable feet, etc.

[0067] In the above technical solution, the movable wheels 50 allow the pipe support device 100 to be moved to a designated position, facilitating the repositioning of the pipe support device 100 and enabling temporary support operations. Adjusting the telescopic support member 60 allows for engagement with the ground, ensuring the pipe support device 100 is stably fixed to the ground, thus improving the overall reliability and convenience of the pipe support device 100 in supporting the pipe.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The base 10 is provided with a mounting seat 11 corresponding to the position of each telescopic support 60. The mounting seat 11 is provided with a screw hole 11a. The telescopic support 60 includes a stud part 61 and a support plate 62. The stud part 61 is threaded in the screw hole 11a, and the support plate 62 is connected to the bottom of the stud part 61.

[0069] In the above technical solution, the stud part 61 is threadedly engaged with the screw hole 11a of the mounting base 11. By rotating the stud part 61, the telescopic support 60 can be made to contact or detach from the ground, which is simple and quick to operate. The support plate 62 is connected to the bottom of the stud part 61, which can increase the contact area with the ground, disperse the pressure of the base 10 on the ground, and improve the stability of the pipe support device 100.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The first lifting mechanism 20 is detachably connected to the base 10 and the pipe support component 30 via bolts 21. In the above technical solution, the first lifting mechanism 20 is detachably connected to the base 10 and the pipe support component 30 via bolts 21. Disassembly is simple and quick, facilitating flexible assembly and disassembly of the pipe support device 100 according to the number of pipes, and also facilitating the transportation and maintenance of the pipe support device 100. Simultaneously, the simple structure improves the reliability of the connection, further enhancing the reliability of the pipe support device 100 installation.

[0071] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This describes a specific embodiment of the pipe support device 100 of the present invention.

[0073] The base 10 is provided with a mounting seat 11 corresponding to the position of each telescopic support 60. The mounting seat 11 is provided with a screw hole 11a. The telescopic support 60 includes a stud part 61 and a support plate 62. The stud part 61 is threaded in the screw hole 11a, and the support plate 62 is connected to the bottom of the stud part 61.

[0074] The first lifting mechanism 20 is located on the top of the base 10. The first lifting mechanism 20 is detachably connected to the base 10 and the pipe support 30 by bolts 21.

[0075] There are two pipe support members 30 arranged vertically. Each pipe support member 30 includes a support body 31, which includes a middle part 311 and an extension part 312. The extension parts 312 are located at opposite ends of the middle part 311 and are arranged symmetrically. The extension parts 312 include a first part 3121 and a second part 3122 connected together. The first part 3121 is connected to the middle part 311 and is arranged at an angle with the second part 3122 and the middle part 311. The first part 3121 and the middle part 311 together define a pipe positioning groove 30a. The second part 3122 is arranged horizontally.
