Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a concrete pump pipe fixing system and its assembly and monitoring method. Background Technology

[0002] In concrete construction, securing the pump pipe is a crucial step. Traditionally, vertical concrete pump pipes are often fixed by inserting wooden wedges into pre-drilled openings in the floor slab (as described in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN220957128U). However, this method is prone to loosening and damage under long-term vibration, leading to the failure of the fixing device and damage to the pump pipe. Furthermore, this fixing method is temporary and one-time, not reusable, and lacks the conditions for standardized mass production.

[0003] Another prior art discloses a reusable concrete pump pipe reinforcement device (Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN110242795A). Although it achieves reusability, it still has the following shortcomings: the fixing effect is limited and it cannot effectively suppress strong vibrations during pumping; it lacks real-time monitoring function and cannot warn of risks such as loosening and blockage; the installation still requires fixing to the floor slab, which has a certain impact on the building structure; and the vibration reduction measures are simple, using only simple rubber shock-absorbing washers.

[0004] Given the practical drawbacks of traditional concrete pump pipe fixing devices, it is essential to develop a reusable concrete pump pipe fixing system with intelligent monitoring capabilities and good fixing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Based on the time and frequency domain characteristics of vibration data, the risk of pump pipe blockage or rupture is determined and an early warning is issued.

[0096] The following will describe in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0097] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments:

[0098] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a concrete pump pipe fixing system is characterized by comprising a vertical fixing device 1, a bend fixing device 2, a horizontal fixing device 3, and a monitoring and control system.

[0099] The vertical fixing device 1 includes an adaptive base 11, a vertical pump pipe clamp 12, and a first power mechanism 13. The adaptive base 11 is detachably clamped and fixed to the side beam of the building floor. The vertical pump pipe clamp 12 is installed on the adaptive base 11. The first power mechanism 13 is installed on the vertical pump pipe clamp 12 and drives it to clamp the vertical pump pipe.

[0100] The adaptive base 11 includes a C-shaped base 111. A pair of clamping electric cylinders 112 are embedded in the inner wall of the lower side of the C-shaped base 111. A clamping plate 113 is fixed to the top of the piston rod of the clamping electric cylinders 112. Both the clamping plate 113 and the inner wall of the upper side of the C-shaped base 111 are provided with a serrated anti-slip layer 114. The C-shaped base 111 is fitted onto the side beam and secured by the clamping plate 113. Pressure and vibration sensors are installed inside the top plate 113. Specifically, the adaptive base 11 adopts a C-shaped structure design, which allows it to be easily fitted onto the building's side beam. The clamping plate 113 is driven by the built-in clamping electric cylinders 112 to achieve self-locking fixation. This design avoids drilling damage to the building structure, achieving truly non-destructive installation. The installation process is quick and can be operated by a single person, greatly improving construction efficiency. The serrated anti-slip layer 114 ensures reliable fixation and prevents slippage even under long-term vibration conditions.

[0101] A guide cover 14 is provided above the vertical pump pipe clamp 12, and a guide bracket 15 is provided on the outside of the guide cover 14. The guide bracket 15 is detachably installed on the top of the C-shaped seat 111. The design of the guide cover 14 and the guide bracket 15 makes the installation of the vertical pump pipe more convenient and enables rapid centering and positioning.

[0102] The vertical pump pipe clamp 12 includes a first V-shaped groove 121, a first pressure plate 122, a first rectangular clamping plate 123, a first arc-shaped clamping plate 124, and a first damper 125. The first V-shaped groove 121 is fixedly connected to the side of the C-shaped seat 111 away from the side beam. The inclined surface inside the groove of the first V-shaped groove 121 is connected to the first rectangular clamping plate 123 through a first damper 125. The inner side of the first pressure plate 122 is connected to the first arc-shaped clamping plate 124 through a first damper 125. The vertical pump pipe is clamped and fixed by the first rectangular clamping plate 123 and the first arc-shaped clamping plate 124. A spring can also be provided between the first rectangular clamping plate 123, the first arc-shaped clamping plate 124, and the first damper 125. The damper can be a rubber damper.

[0103] The first power mechanism 13 includes a first clamping electric cylinder 131 embedded in the first V-shaped groove 121. The piston rod of the first clamping electric cylinder 131 is connected to the first pressure plate 122. The first guide rod 132, which passes through the first V-shaped groove 121, is provided at the four corners of the inner side of the first pressure plate 122. The pressure sensor and the vibration sensor are installed in the first rectangular clamping plate 123 and the first arc-shaped clamping plate 124.

[0104] Specifically, the vertical pump pipe clamp 12 adopts a V-groove structure, which, together with the first rectangular clamp 123 and the first arc-shaped clamp 124, is connected by the first damper 125 to form a highly efficient vibration reduction system. This system can effectively absorb multi-directional vibrations generated during pumping, significantly reduce fatigue damage to the pump pipe, and extend the service life of the pump pipe. The first clamping electric cylinder 131 provides a stable clamping force to ensure the reliability of the pump pipe fixation.

[0105] The pipe bending fixing device 2 includes a counterweight L-shaped base 21, a pipe bending clamp 22, and a second power mechanism 23. The counterweight L-shaped base 21 is detachably installed at the angle between the ground and the building floor. The pipe bending clamp 22 is installed on the counterweight L-shaped base 21. The second power mechanism 23 is installed on the counterweight L-shaped base 21 and drives the pipe bending clamp 22 to clamp the pipe.

[0106] The counterweight L-shaped base 21 has first mounting plates 211 on both sides of its bottom. These plates are fixed to pre-embedded parts in the ground with bolts or by inserting steel stakes into the ground. A supporting truss 212 is located inside the counterweight L-shaped base 21. The counterweight L-shaped base 21 is fixed to the angle between the ground and the building corner via the first mounting plates 211, providing a stable support foundation while avoiding a rigid connection to the building structure. Its installation position is reasonable, effectively resisting the complex forces generated at the bend, and facilitating disassembly and relocation. The supporting truss 212 enhances the overall structural stability, ensuring that it will not deform under significant impact.

[0107] The pipe bending clamp 22 includes an arc-shaped support groove 221 and an arc-shaped pressure cap 222. The arc-shaped support groove 221 is fixed on the support truss 212. The pipe bending clamp is sleeved in the arc-shaped support groove 221 and pressed tightly by the arc-shaped pressure cap 222.

[0108] The second power mechanism 23 includes an electric cylinder mounting base 231 installed at the front and rear ends of the counterweight L-shaped base 21. A second clamping electric cylinder 232 is installed in the electric cylinder mounting base 231. A pressure block 233 is movably connected to the piston rod end of the second clamping electric cylinder 232. A first limiting block is provided on the side of the pressure block 233 facing the piston rod. A first limiting groove is provided on the sidewall 223 for the first limiting block. When the arc-shaped pressure cover 222 is pressed, the pressure block 233 presses against the sidewall 223 and the first limiting block is inserted into the first limiting groove.

[0109] Specifically, the pipe bending clamp 22 adopts a wrap-around design with an arc-shaped support groove 221 and an arc-shaped pressure cap 222, perfectly matching the outer contour of the pipe bending and achieving all-around fixation. This design provides a uniform force distribution, avoiding the stress concentration problem caused by traditional U-shaped clamps. The cooperation between the positioning post 224 and the positioning plate 225 ensures the accuracy of installation, and the buffer pad further enhances the vibration reduction effect. The second clamping electric cylinder 232 reliably clamps the arc-shaped pressure cap 222 through the pressure block 233, and the cooperation between the first limiting block and the first limiting groove ensures the reliability of locking.

[0110] The horizontal fixing device 3 includes a counterweight rectangular base 31, a horizontal pump pipe clamp 32, and a third power mechanism 33. The counterweight rectangular base 31 is detachably installed on the ground, the horizontal pump pipe clamp 32 is installed on the counterweight rectangular base 31, and the third power mechanism 33 is installed on the counterweight rectangular base 31 and drives the horizontal pump pipe clamp 32 to clamp the horizontal pump pipe.

[0111] The counterweight rectangular base 31 has second mounting plates 311 fixed to its bottom sides. The second mounting plates 311 are fixed to the ground embedded parts by bolts or by inserting steel rods into the ground. The counterweight rectangular base 31 is fixed to the ground by the second mounting plates 311, providing a stable installation foundation. Its installation is flexible and its position can be adjusted according to actual needs. At the same time, it avoids connection with the building structure and is easy to reuse.

[0112] The horizontal pump pipe clamp 32 includes a second V-shaped groove 321, a second pressure plate 322, a second rectangular clamping plate 323, a second arc-shaped clamping plate 324, and a second damper 325. The second V-shaped groove 321 is fixedly connected to the top of the counterweight rectangular base 31. The inclined surface inside the groove of the second V-shaped groove 321 is connected to the second rectangular clamping plate 323 through a second damper 325. The inner side of the second pressure plate 322 is connected to the second arc-shaped clamping plate 324 through a second damper 325. The horizontal pump pipe is clamped and fixed by the second rectangular clamping plate 323 and the second arc-shaped clamping plate 324. A spring can also be provided between the second rectangular clamping plate 323, the second arc-shaped clamping plate 324, and the second damper 325. The damper can be a rubber damper.

[0113] The third power mechanism 33 includes a third clamping electric cylinder 331 mounted on both sides of the top of the counterweight rectangular base 31. A locking plate 332 is mounted on the top of the piston rod of the third clamping electric cylinder 331. A pair of locking rods 333 are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom of the second pressure plate 322. A locking block 334 is provided on the bottom of one side of the locking rod 333. Second limit blocks are provided on both sides of the bottom of the locking plate 332. The locking block 334 is provided with a second limit groove corresponding to the second limit block. When the second pressure plate 322 is pressed, the locking block 334 is pressed by the locking plate 332 and the second limit block is inserted into the second limit groove. Second guide rods 335 are provided at the four corners of the inner side of the second pressure plate 322 and pass through the second V-shaped groove 321. Pressure sensors and vibration sensors are installed in the second rectangular clamping plate 323 and the second arc-shaped clamping plate 324. When pressing, the locking block 334 is rotated to be below the locking plate 332.

[0114] Specifically, the horizontal pump pipe clamp 32 also adopts a V-groove structure, and the pipe is clamped and fixed through the second rectangular clamping plate 323 and the second arc-shaped clamping plate 324. The second damper 325 effectively absorbs the vibration of the horizontal pipe and prevents the fixation from loosening due to long-term vibration. The third clamping electric cylinder 331 reliably fixes the second pressure plate 322 through a unique locking mechanism. The cooperation between the locking rod 333 and the locking plate 332 ensures reliability in long-term use and avoids the problem of easy loosening of traditional bolt connections.

[0115] The monitoring and control system includes pressure sensors and vibration sensors mounted on the adaptive base 11, vertical pump pipe clamp 12, curved pipe clamp 22, and horizontal pump pipe clamp 32, as well as controllers for controlling the adaptive base 11, first power mechanism 13, second power mechanism 23, and third power mechanism 33 based on data from the pressure and vibration sensors. The pressure sensors monitor the clamping force at each clamping point in real time, while the vibration sensors monitor the vibration of the system, realizing a shift from passive fixing to active monitoring, enabling timely detection of potential risks and prevention of accidents.

[0116] The monitoring and control system also includes:

[0117] An edge computing gateway connects to pressure and vibration sensors for real-time data acquisition.

[0118] The controller is a central controller that communicates with the edge computing gateway and is configured as follows:

[0119] The risk of loosening is judged based on the changing trend of clamping force data of adaptive base 11, vertical pump pipe clamp 12, bending pipe clamp 22, and horizontal pump pipe clamp 32, and the clamping force is adjusted by controlling adaptive base 11, first power mechanism 13, second power mechanism 23, and third power mechanism 33.

[0120] Based on the time and frequency domain characteristics of vibration data, the risk of pump pipe blockage or rupture is determined and an early warning is issued.

[0121] The edge computing gateway is configured to send control commands directly to the corresponding drive mechanism to restore the clamping force when the clamping force is detected to be lower than a preset threshold, thereby achieving local closed-loop control.

[0122] The edge computing gateway is responsible for real-time data acquisition and local control, achieving millisecond-level response. When insufficient clamping force is detected, it can immediately drive the corresponding electric cylinder to restore the clamping force, ensuring the real-time safety of the system. The central controller performs data analysis and decision-making, using intelligent algorithms to identify the attenuation trend of clamping force and changes in vibration characteristics, enabling loosening and blockage warnings.

[0123] The system also includes a cloud platform that communicates with the central controller or edge computing gateway and includes a digital twin module. This module is used to build and maintain a virtual model corresponding to the physical system for status assessment and risk prediction. The cloud platform and digital twin module construct a virtual model that fully corresponds to the physical system, achieving comprehensive visualization of the system's status. It is capable of deep data analysis and predictive maintenance, establishing a health assessment model for the pump and pipe system through historical data learning, providing a scientific basis for preventative maintenance.

[0124] like Figure 7 As shown, an assembly method for a concrete pump pipe fixing system includes the following steps:

[0125] S1: Positioning and laying out lines to determine the installation positions of vertical fixing device 1, pipe bending fixing device 2, and horizontal fixing device 3;

[0126] S2: Install vertical fixing device 1:

[0127] The C-shaped seat 111 of the adaptive base 11 is fitted onto the edge beam of the building floor;

[0128] Start the clamping electric cylinder 112 to clamp the clamping plate 113 against the lower part of the side beam, and achieve self-locking fixation through the anti-slip layer 114;

[0129] Install the guide bracket 15 on top of the C-shaped seat 111;

[0130] S3: Install pipe bending fixing device 2:

[0131] Place the counterweight L-shaped base 21 at the angle between the ground and the building floor;

[0132] The base is fixed by bolts or steel bars through the first mounting plate 211;

[0133] S4: Install horizontal fixing device 3:

[0134] Place the counterweight rectangular base 31 at the preset position on the ground;

[0135] The base is fixed by bolts or steel bars using the second mounting plate 311.

[0136] S5: Pipe Installation

[0137] The vertical pump pipe is hoisted from above, passing through the guide covers 14 of each vertical fixing device 1 in sequence and placed in the vertical pump pipe clamp 12;

[0138] Place the horizontal pump pipe into the horizontal pump pipe clamp 32 of the horizontal fixing device 3;

[0139] Place the bent pipe into the bent pipe clamp 22 of the bent pipe fixing device 2;

[0140] Connecting bends, horizontal pump pipes, and vertical pump pipes;

[0141] S6: Clamping and fixing: Control the operation of the first power mechanism 13, the second power mechanism 23, and the third power mechanism 33 to clamp and fix each pump pipe.

[0142] The assembly method is clear and easy to operate, with each step closely linked to the next, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the installation.

[0143] like Figure 8 As shown, a monitoring method for a concrete pump pipe fixing system includes the following steps:

[0144] P1: System Initialization:

[0145] Set the clamping force threshold for each pressure sensor and the vibration safety range for each vibration sensor;

[0146] Establish a digital twin model and construct a virtual model corresponding to the physical system;

[0147] P2: Data Acquisition

[0148] The clamping force of the adaptive base 11, the clamping force of the vertical pump pipe clamp 12, the clamping force of the bent pipe clamp 22 and the clamping force of the horizontal pump pipe clamp 32 are monitored in real time by pressure sensors.

[0149] Vibration data of each fixed device is monitored in real time using vibration sensors;

[0150] P3: Edge computing processing:

[0151] The edge computing gateway receives and processes sensor data in real time.

[0152] When any clamping force is detected to be lower than the preset threshold, the edge computing gateway directly sends a control command to the corresponding drive mechanism to immediately restore the clamping force;

[0153] When the vibration data detected exceeds the safe range, a local audible and visual alarm is triggered.

[0154] P4: Cloud-based analytics and early warning:

[0155] The processed sensor data is uploaded to the cloud platform;

[0156] The digital twin module updates the virtual model's state based on real-time data;

[0157] By analyzing the temporal decay trend of clamping force through intelligent algorithms, the risk of clamp loosening can be predicted.

[0158] By analyzing the time and frequency domain characteristics of vibration data, the risk of pump pipe blockage or rupture can be determined.

[0161] Automatically generate maintenance suggestions and diagnostic reports;

[0163] This method forms a complete closed loop of monitoring, analysis, early warning, and decision-making, which not only ensures the real-time nature of control but also enables in-depth data mining and analysis, providing comprehensive protection for the safe operation of the pump and pipeline system.

[0164] This invention combines sensing and control technologies with traditional pump pipe fixing structures, solving many problems associated with traditional fixing methods. It protects the building structure through non-destructive installation design, extends equipment lifespan through an intelligent vibration reduction system, improves construction safety through an intelligent monitoring and early warning system, and achieves convenient turnover through modular design (individual independent fixing devices), demonstrating significant technological advancements and practical value.
