Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular relates to a pipe support device and construction method. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial building construction, a large amount of pipeline installation is involved. Before installation, pipelines need to be prefabricated. During prefabrication, workers often place the pipes directly on the ground and perform welding, breaking, painting, and rust removal. This method is not conducive to pipe alignment and rotation during welding, resulting in compromised efficiency and quality. In pipe gallery installation, pipes are inserted into the steel structure gallery through gaps using a crane, and then workers use chain hoists to place the pipes in their installation positions and weld them. This method of installing pipelines in pipe galleries is less efficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a pipeline support device and construction method, which effectively solves the technical problem that pipelines are inconvenient to move and rotate during prefabrication and installation, thus failing to guarantee construction efficiency and quality, and overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a pipe support device, comprising:

[0005] A support component is provided oppositely to support the pipe, and the support component is provided with ball bearings, which are tactilely connected to the support component;

[0006] A connecting component is disposed between the support components and is detachably connected to the support components.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a connecting plate with an elongated hole, which is detachably connected to the supporting component.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support frame, a support seat is provided inside the support frame, the ball bearing is placed on the top of the support frame, the bottom of the ball bearing is rotatably connected to the support seat, and the connecting assembly is detachably connected to the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the support base is provided with a support slope, which is adapted to the top inclined plate, and the bottom of the ball is in rolling connection with the support slope.

[0013] Furthermore, the supporting inclined surface is provided with a limiting recess at the position relative to the limiting hole, and the bottom of the ball is in rolling connection with the limiting recess.

[0014] Furthermore, a support plate is provided between the side plates for placing the support base.

[0015] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided on one side of the support base, and the fixing plate is detachably connected to the side plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the side plate has a mounting plate that is detachably connected to the fixing plate.

[0017] A construction method using a pipe support device as described above includes the following steps:

[0018] The number of support components is selected based on the number and length of the pipes;

[0029] This invention provides a pipe support device and construction method. The embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "top," "bottom," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. In the description of this invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention through specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a pipe support device, including support components and connecting components. The support components are arranged opposite each other to support a pipe 6. Each support component has balls 1, which are rolled together with the support components. The connecting components are disposed between the oppositely arranged support components and are detachably connected to them. The oppositely arranged support components are connected and fixed by the connecting components, and the support components support both sides of the pipe 6. Multiple sets of support components are placed along the axial direction of the pipe 6, and the pipe 6 is placed on the balls 1 of the support components. When the pipe 6 rotates around the axial direction or moves along the axial direction, the balls 1 roll on the support components, reducing friction on the pipe 6, facilitating rotation or movement, simplifying welding or installation of the pipe 6, and reducing wear on the pipe 6.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate 2 with an elongated hole 3. The elongated hole 3 is detachably connected to the support assemblies on both sides using bolts. By providing the elongated hole 3, the distance between the support assemblies on both sides can be adjusted according to the pipe diameter of the pipe 6, thus making it suitable for pipes 6 of different diameters.

[0033] Specifically, the support assembly includes a support frame 4, a support seat 5 inside the support frame 4, a ball bearing 1 placed on the top of the support frame 4, the bottom of the ball bearing 1 being rotatably connected to the support seat 5, and the connecting assembly being detachably connected to the support frame 4.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 4 includes two opposing side plates 41 and a top inclined plate 42. The opposing side plates 41 have connecting holes, which are detachably connected to connecting components via bolts. A top inclined plate 42 is fixed to the top of the two side plates 41, positioned between them. A limiting hole 43 is provided on the top inclined plate 42, and a ball bearing 1 is placed within the limiting hole 43, with a clearance fit, allowing it to roll within the limiting hole 43. Multiple limiting holes 43 are provided, with each ball bearing 1 corresponding to one limiting hole 43. The specific number of limiting holes 43 is not limited, and they are evenly distributed on the top inclined plate 42.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the support base 5 is a block and is placed inside the support frame 4. The top of the support base 5 has a supporting inclined surface 51, which is located below the top inclined plate 42. Both have the same inclination direction and angle, and the supporting inclined surface 51 is adapted to the top inclined plate 42. When the ball bearing 1 is placed in the limiting hole 43, its bottom rests on the supporting inclined surface 51, and it is in rolling connection with the supporting inclined surface 51.

[0036] Preferably, a limiting recess 52 is provided on the supporting inclined surface 51 at the position opposite to the limiting hole 43, and the limiting recess 52 is adapted to the ball 1. The bottom of the ball 1 is placed in the limiting recess 52 and rolls in connection with the limiting recess 52.

[0037] Specifically, in order to facilitate the placement of the support base 5, a support plate 44 is fixed between the side plates 41 to support the support base 5.

[0038] Specifically, in order to prevent the support base 5 from detaching from the support frame 4, a fixing plate 53 is fixed on one side of the support base 5, and the fixing plate 53 is detachably connected to the side plate 41.

[0039] Specifically, the side plate 41 is fixed with a mounting plate 45, and the relative positions of the mounting plate 45 and the fixing plate 53 are detachably connected by bolts.

[0040] A construction method using a pipe support device as described above is explained in two working scenarios:

[0041] a. Prefabrication of pipelines on the ground

[0042] S1. Select the number of support components according to the length and quantity of pipe 6, and set up a group of two support components.

[0043] S2. Connecting the relatively arranged support components with connecting components to form multiple sets of support components;

[0044] Based on the diameter of pipe 6, adjust the distance between the two oppositely arranged support components, and use bolts to detachably connect the connecting plate 2 to the two oppositely arranged support components to form multiple sets of support components.

[0045] S3. Place multiple sets of support components along the axial direction of pipe 6.

[0046] To ensure the stability of the support, multiple sets of support components are placed at equal intervals along the axial direction of pipe 6.

[0047] S4. Place pipe 6 on multiple sets of support components so that pipe 6 comes into contact with ball 1.

[0048] The pipe 6, which needs to be painted, rust-removed, broken, or welded, is placed on the support assembly and comes into contact with the ball bearing 1. When it rotates or moves axially, the ball bearing 1 will roll, reducing the friction on the outer wall of the pipe 6.

[0049] b. Install pipe 6 on the pipe rack.

[0050] S1. Select the number of support components according to the length and quantity of pipe 6, and set up a group of two support components.

[0051] S2. Place multiple sets of support components along the axial direction of pipe 6.

[0052] Multiple sets of support components are installed from the inlet of the pipe rack to the end of the pipe rack. During installation, there is no need to use the connecting plate 2. Simply measure the distance between the relative support components according to the pipe diameter, and then fix the support components to the pipe rack with bolts. Multiple sets of support components are fixed at equal intervals.

[0053] S3. Place pipe 6 on multiple sets of support components so that pipe 6 comes into contact with ball 1.

[0054] Pipeline 6 is relatively easy to hoist from the pipe rack inlet. After being hoisted onto the support assembly, it is moved from the pipe rack inlet to the installation position by pulling it from the end of the pipe rack using a chain hoist, winch, or manually. Once pipe 6 is in place, it is rotated and welded using the support device. Rollers reduce friction during the movement and rotation of pipe 6, making construction more convenient and efficient. The stable fixing of the support assembly also improves the quality of the welding.

[0055] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are:

[0056] 1. During the prefabrication and installation of pipelines, stable support is achieved for the pipelines. During pipeline rotation and movement, friction is reduced, wear on the pipelines is avoided, and the rotation and movement of the pipelines are more conducive, thus improving construction efficiency and ensuring welding quality.

[0057] 2. It is reusable and suitable for the prefabrication of pipes of different diameters. It can also be fixed on the steel structure beams of pipe racks of different sizes.

[0058] 3. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient operation, small footprint, and is easy to store and transport.

[0059] The embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that implementations not illustrated or described in the drawings or the main text of the specification are forms known to those skilled in the art and have not been described in detail. Furthermore, the definitions of the various components described above are not limited to the specific structures, shapes, or methods mentioned in the embodiments, and those skilled in the art can easily modify or substitute them.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
