Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to an integrated installation method for pipelines in a big data center corridor. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet, the Internet of Things, and mobile applications, the amount of data in society is growing exponentially, and the pace of digital transformation in various industries is accelerating. As a crucial infrastructure for emerging technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the need for big data centers is becoming increasingly urgent.
[0003] Big data centers require supporting auxiliary systems such as power supply, cooling, condensation, and fire protection. The pipelines for these auxiliary systems are typically housed in utility tunnels above the main corridors. Currently, the installation of these utility tunnels in big data centers primarily employs a manual, piecemeal installation method. This involves transporting various pipelines (such as air conditioning ducts, low-voltage wiring conduits, water supply and return pipes, and fire protection pipes) to the site separately, and then having workers locate, hang, and connect them one by one within the utility tunnel. This traditional installation method presents the following technical problems: First, the installation is inefficient and time-consuming. Because various pipelines need to be installed sequentially, and the construction of each pipeline system is cross-construction and interferes with each other, parallel operations are impossible, resulting in an excessively long installation cycle and becoming a bottleneck restricting the overall construction progress of the big data center.
[0004] Secondly, labor costs are high and the labor intensity is great. The space inside the utility tunnel is small, and operations such as pipeline hoisting, positioning, and splicing rely heavily on manual labor. In particular, for large pipelines with a diameter of 200mm or more, manual handling and connection are difficult, which not only consumes manpower but also poses safety hazards.
[0005] Third, poor splicing accuracy and difficulty in quality control. When splicing large pipelines, it is difficult to achieve precise connection by manually adjusting the position, which can easily lead to problems such as misalignment of interfaces and poor sealing, affecting the operational reliability of the pipeline system.
[0006] Fourth, the large number of expansion bolts used can damage the roof structure. In traditional methods, each pipeline needs to be suspended individually, resulting in a large number of holes drilled in the roof, which is not only cumbersome to construct, but may also have adverse effects on the building structure.
[0007] In summary, traditional big data center pipeline installation methods suffer from problems such as low efficiency, high cost, poor precision, and significant structural damage, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid data center construction. Summary of the Invention

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reduction gear set in the first gearbox is a two-stage reduction gear set.
[0014] According to one aspect of the invention, the three first rollers in the circular tube auxiliary device are made of hollow steel or solid polymer plastic, and are powered by a hand drill driving the first worm gear to mesh with the first meshing gear.
[0015] According to one aspect of the invention, the circular tube auxiliary device further includes: a first suspension component; The first suspension component is made of angle steel.

The second base is fixed to the second suspension component with bolts through the adjustment holes to adjust the overall position of the square tube auxiliary device.
[0019] According to one aspect of the present invention, significant technical effects are achieved by transforming the traditional manual, piecemeal installation method into an integrated construction mode of factory prefabrication, on-site assembly, and overall hoisting: First, the end frames and intermediate frames are prefabricated in the factory, and various pipelines are installed layer by layer within the frame to form integrated pipe groups, transforming a large amount of high-altitude work into ground assembly and reducing on-site construction work; Second, by installing triangular pyramidal hanging components and slide rails composed of channel steel and angle steel on the floor slab, and using lifting equipment to hoist the integrated unit as a whole into the slide rail, the load-bearing traveling wheels can move along the slide rail. The track-moving mechanism replaces the traditional method of manually carrying and hanging pipelines one by one, significantly reducing labor input and intensity. Furthermore, the layered connection method between adjacent units allows for independent and orderly alignment of pipelines at each layer, avoiding interference and misalignment issues when multiple pipelines are connected simultaneously, thus improving the accuracy and sealing reliability of pipeline connections. In addition, the centralized suspension method integrates multiple pipelines and suspends them at the same point, with multiple units supported by sliding rails, significantly reducing the number of expansion bolts and drilling in the roof, minimizing potential damage to the building structure. In summary, this solution effectively solves the technical problems of low efficiency, high cost, poor accuracy, and significant structural damage in traditional big data center pipeline installation, achieving rapid, economical, and high-quality pipeline installation.
[0020] According to one aspect of the present invention, a lifting and conveying auxiliary device is added to address the challenges of splicing large pipelines. This device, through its lifting action, can smoothly elevate the large pipeline to a predetermined height, achieving precise vertical positioning. Through its conveying action, it can drive the large pipeline to move horizontally, achieving precise docking between adjacent units. This solves problems such as misalignment and inadequate sealing caused by the weight of large pipelines and the difficulty of manual movement in traditional methods, significantly improving splicing quality. Secondly, the application of the lifting and conveying auxiliary device transforms the splicing operation of large pipelines from purely manual handling to mechanized assistance, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and minimizing potential safety hazards from multi-person collaborative operations. Furthermore, the combination of integrated unit hoisting and sliding rail movement in this device enables efficient and precise positioning of large pipelines during the splicing process, preventing delays in the overall construction progress due to difficulties in connecting large pipelines and ensuring a smooth connection of the entire installation process. In summary, by optimizing the connection process of large pipelines, construction efficiency has been further improved while ensuring connection quality, making the entire installation method more adaptable to various types of pipelines, large, medium and small.
[0021] According to one aspect of the present invention, the circular pipe auxiliary device, through its unique structural design, can achieve at least the following in the splicing operation of large circular pipes: First, it achieves precise and stable vertical lifting. The reciprocating structure of the first lifting column within the first lifting chamber constitutes a stable guiding mechanism, ensuring that the pipe's vertical lifting and lowering is not skewed during the lifting process; the reduction gear set within the first gearbox reduces and amplifies the external power, and then, through the engagement of the output pinion with the rack of the first lifting column, drives the lifting column to rise smoothly, enabling the heavy circular pipe to be precisely lifted to the predetermined docking height. Second, it ensures the safety of the lifting operation. The first anti-reverse gear is coaxially arranged with the input pinion and cooperates with the first stop block, automatically locking after the lifting is in place, preventing the lifting column from accidentally descending due to the weight of the pipe, and avoiding safety accidents caused by equipment failure during construction. Third, it achieves efficient and stable horizontal transmission. Three first rollers are connected by universal joints and arranged in a V-shape, simultaneously contacting the circular pipe from three directions, increasing the contact area and friction, and preventing the pipe from sliding or rotating during transport. A first worm gear, in conjunction with a first meshing gear, drives the bottom roller to rotate, and then transmits power synchronously to the other two rollers via universal joints, achieving synchronized rotation of all three rollers. This drives the circular pipe to move horizontally, ensuring precise alignment of pipes in adjacent units. Fourth, ensuring the rigidity of the equipment structure. Anti-deformation straps are fixed to both sides of the V-shaped frame, effectively resisting the weight of the pipe and the lateral forces generated during transport, preventing deformation of the V-shaped frame and ensuring long-term accuracy and stability.
[0022] According to one aspect of the present invention, the square pipe auxiliary device, through a specialized design tailored to the characteristics of square pipes, achieves the following in the splicing of large square pipes: First, it enables precise vertical lifting of the square pipe. The reciprocating structure of the second lifting column within the second lifting chamber constitutes a stable guiding mechanism, ensuring that the square pipe rises and falls vertically without deviation during the lifting process. Through the meshing of the output gear with the rack of the second lifting column, the lifting column is driven to rise smoothly, accurately lifting the heavy square pipe to the predetermined docking height. The second anti-reverse gear is coaxially arranged with the output gear and cooperates with the second stop, automatically locking after lifting to prevent the lifting column from unexpectedly falling due to the weight of the pipe, ensuring operational safety. Second, it enables stable horizontal transport of the square pipe. Three second rollers are connected by a through shaft and arranged in a straight line, forming a continuous planar support surface. This surface can stably support the flat bottom of the square tube, preventing the tube from tipping over or swaying during transport. The second worm gear and the second meshing gear work together to drive the middle roller to rotate, and the power is synchronously transmitted to the rollers on both sides through the through shaft, achieving synchronous rotation of multiple rollers. This drives the square tube to move horizontally, allowing the tubes of adjacent units to be precisely aligned. The straight roller arrangement is compatible with the planar contact characteristics of the square tube, ensuring uniform contact, moderate friction, and a smooth and reliable transport process. Thirdly, the rigidity of the equipment structure is guaranteed. The horizontal frame provides a flat support foundation for the square tube. The straight roller assembly connected by the through shaft has a simple structure and good rigidity, capable of withstanding the uniformly distributed load of the square tube, avoiding deformation or asynchronous problems that may occur with multiple independent supports.
[0023] According to the present invention, by combining pipe group integration units with sliding rail suspension, the present invention achieves rapid overall installation of pipelines, significantly shortening the construction period; by using a lifting and conveying auxiliary device, it achieves precise docking of large pipelines, improving the quality of connection; by replacing manual handling with mechanized operations, it reduces labor intensity and safety risks; and by using centralized suspension, it reduces the amount of drilling in the roof slab, reducing damage to the building structure.

Figure 4 This schematically illustrates a side view of the integrated installation status of a data center utility corridor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, the integrated installation method for the big data center utility tunnel includes: S1: Prefabricated integrated unit frame Prefabricate the two end frames 1 and the middle frame 2. Each frame adopts a layered structure design, and the position of each layer is determined according to the pipeline design program. The frame is then painted for corrosion protection. S2: On-site assembly and pipeline installation At the construction site, the two side beams 3 are connected to the two end frames 1 and the middle frame 2 to form a complete frame 4. The top of the frame 4 is equipped with load-bearing traveling wheels 5. Various pipelines 6 (such as air conditioning ducts, weak current conduits, water supply or return pipes, fire pipes and other pipes) are installed in the frame 4 in layers from top to bottom according to the design position and are temporarily fixed to form a pipe group integrated unit 7 to be hoisted. S3: Installation of hanging components and slide rails A hanging component 8 is installed on the top slab of the floor. The hanging component 8 is a triangular pyramid structure composed of channel steel and angle steel, and is fixed to the top slab 9 with expansion bolts. A slide rail 10 is installed on the channel steel of the hanging component 8, and a notch 11 is made at the bottom of the slide rail to form the entrance of the unit load-bearing wheel. S4: Unit hoisting and movement The pipe group integration unit 7 is lifted by the lifting equipment 13 to the load-bearing wheel inlet of the slide rail, so that the load-bearing traveling wheel 5 enters the slide rail 10; and the pipe group integration unit 7 is moved to the design position within the slide rail. S5: Unit Connection and Splicing The adjacent pipe group integration unit 7 is connected in layers to complete the pipeline connection.
[0028] In this embodiment, the present invention achieves significant technical effects by transforming the traditional manual, piecemeal installation method into an integrated construction mode of factory prefabrication, on-site assembly, and overall hoisting: First, the end frames 1 and the middle frame 2 are prefabricated in the factory, and various pipelines 6 are installed in layers within the frame 4 on-site to form a pipe group integrated unit 7, transforming a large amount of high-altitude work into ground assembly and reducing the amount of on-site construction; Second, by installing triangular pyramidal hanging components 8 and slide rails 10 made of channel steel and angle steel on the roof slab, and using lifting equipment 13 to hoist the integrated unit as a whole into the slide rail, the load-bearing traveling wheels 5 enter the slide rail. Then, it can be moved along the track to the designed position, replacing the traditional method of manually carrying and hanging pipelines one by one, greatly reducing labor input and labor intensity. Furthermore, adjacent units are connected using a layered connection method, allowing each layer of pipelines to be aligned independently and orderly, avoiding mutual interference and interface misalignment problems when multiple pipelines are connected simultaneously, thus improving the accuracy and sealing reliability of pipeline connections. In addition, the centralized hanging method integrates multiple pipelines and suspends them at the same hanging point, with multiple units supported by sliding rails, significantly reducing the number of expansion bolts used and the amount of drilling in the top plate, reducing potential damage to the building structure. In summary, this solution effectively solves the technical problems of low efficiency, high cost, poor accuracy, and significant structural damage in traditional big data center pipeline installation, achieving rapid, economical, and high-quality pipeline installation.
[0029] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the integrated installation method of big data center pipeline corridor further includes: for large pipelines exceeding a predetermined size in the pipeline group integration unit, using a lifting and conveying auxiliary device to lift and convey the pipelines, thereby achieving the connection and completing the pipeline connection. In this embodiment, the present invention further incorporates a lifting and conveying auxiliary device to address the challenges of splicing large pipelines. This device's lifting action smoothly elevates the large pipeline to a predetermined height, achieving precise vertical positioning. Its conveying action drives the large pipeline to move horizontally, enabling precise docking between adjacent units. This solves problems such as misalignment and inadequate sealing caused by the weight and difficulty of manual movement of large pipelines in traditional methods, significantly improving splicing quality. Secondly, the application of the lifting and conveying auxiliary device transforms the splicing operation of large pipelines from purely manual handling to mechanized assistance, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and minimizing potential safety hazards from multi-person collaborative work. Furthermore, the combination of integrated unit hoisting and sliding rail movement in this device enables efficient and precise positioning of large pipelines during the splicing process, preventing delays in the overall construction progress due to difficulties in connecting large pipelines and ensuring a smooth connection of the entire installation process. In summary, by optimizing the connection process of large pipelines, construction efficiency has been further improved while ensuring connection quality, making the entire installation method more adaptable to various types of pipelines, large, medium and small.
[0030] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting equipment 13 is a bridge crane, which is installed in the reserved space above the big data center corridor; The bridge crane includes: a crane beam 14, a crane column 15, a through shaft 16 connecting the column, a lifting motor 17, and a traveling motor 18. The lifting motor 17 has its own reducer and steering function, and the traveling motor 18 has its own reducer. In this embodiment, a space of 600-800mm is generally reserved above the big data center pipe gallery, which can be used to install a simple bridge crane on the slide rail to lift the pipe group integration unit 7. It has two motors: one for lifting and the other for traveling drive. In this embodiment, by fully utilizing the 600-800mm unused space above the big data center pipe corridor to install a bridge crane, the arrangement of lifting equipment is achieved without occupying additional construction area, thus improving space utilization. Through the coordinated operation of the lifting motor and the traveling motor, the hoisting, transportation, and positioning of the pipe group integration unit 7 are completed in an integrated manner. The lifting motor, with its built-in reducer, enables smooth lifting and lowering, and its steering function facilitates adjustment of the unit's posture. The traveling motor, with its built-in reducer, controls the moving speed, ensuring the unit accurately reaches the predetermined position. This replaces the traditional construction method of relying on chain hoisting in sections and manual pushing, significantly improving hoisting efficiency. The bridge crane adopts a modular structure, allowing for disassembly and reuse after construction, reducing equipment costs. In summary, the above solution provides dedicated lifting equipment support for the efficient and precise hoisting of the pipe group integration unit, further optimizing the overall construction process.
[0031] Furthermore, Figure 5 This schematic diagram shows a front view of a circular tube auxiliary device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the use of a circular tube auxiliary device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lifting and conveying auxiliary device includes: a circular tube auxiliary device, comprising: a first lifting component and a first conveying component; The first lifting component includes: a first base 19, a first gearbox 20, a first lifting chamber 21, a first lifting column 22 with a rack and pinion, and a first anti-reverse mechanism; The first lifting chamber 21 is supported on the first base 19. One end of the first lifting column 22 is supported on the bottom of the first conveying component, and the other end extends into the first lifting chamber 21 and can move back and forth in the vertical direction within the first lifting chamber 21. The first gearbox 20 is equipped with a reduction gear set, which includes: an input pinion 50, a large gear 49 fitted with the input pinion, and an output pinion 35 coaxially mounted with the large gear. The output pinion 35 in the reduction gear set meshes with the rack provided on the first lifting column 22; The first anti-reverse mechanism includes a first anti-reverse gear 23 and a first stop 24. The first anti-reverse gear 23 is arranged coaxially with the input pinion 50. The first stop 24 cooperates with the first anti-reverse gear 23 to prevent the first anti-reverse gear 23 from rotating in the opposite direction. The first conveying component includes: a V-shaped frame 25, a first worm gear meshing assembly, a first roller assembly, and an anti-deformation pull belt 26; The V-shaped frame 25 is supported at the top of the first lifting column 22; The first roller assembly includes three first rollers 27, which are connected as one unit by universal joints 28 and fixed on the V-shaped frame 25 in a V-shaped arrangement for contacting the circular pipe 29 on three sides. The two ends of the anti-deformation strap 26 are respectively fixed to both sides of the V-shaped frame 25 with bolts; The first worm gear meshing assembly includes a first meshing gear 30 and a first worm 31. One end of the bottom first roller 27 of the three first rollers 27 arranged in a V-shape is connected to the first meshing gear 30. The first worm 31 is disposed on the upper surface of the V-shaped frame and is engaged with the first meshing gear 30.
[0032] In this embodiment, the circular pipe auxiliary device, through its unique structural design, can achieve at least the following specific technical effects in the splicing of large circular pipes: First, it achieves precise and stable vertical lifting. The reciprocating structure of the first lifting column 22 within the first lifting chamber 21 constitutes a stable guiding mechanism, ensuring that the pipe rises and falls vertically without deviation during the lifting process. The reduction gear set within the first gearbox 20 reduces and amplifies the external power, and then, through the output pinion 35, meshes with the rack of the first lifting column 22, driving the lifting column to rise smoothly, enabling the heavy circular pipe to be precisely lifted to the predetermined docking height.
[0033] Second, ensure the safety of the lifting operation. The first anti-reverse gear 23 is coaxially arranged with the input pinion 50 and cooperates with the first stop block 24. It automatically locks after the lifting is in place to prevent the lifting column from falling unexpectedly due to the weight of the pipe and avoid safety accidents caused by equipment failure during construction.
[0034] Third, efficient and stable horizontal conveying is achieved. The three first rollers 27 are connected as one unit by universal joints 28 and arranged in a V-shape, contacting the circular pipe 29 from three directions simultaneously, increasing the contact area and friction, and preventing the pipe from sliding or rotating during conveying; the first worm gear 31 cooperates with the first meshing gear 30 to drive the bottom roller to rotate, and then transmits the power synchronously to the other two rollers through the universal joint, so that the three rollers rotate synchronously, thereby driving the circular pipe to move horizontally, so that the pipes of adjacent units can be precisely aligned.
[0035] Fourth, ensure the rigidity of the equipment structure. The anti-deformation straps 26 are fixed to both sides of the V-shaped frame 25, effectively resisting the weight of the pipe and the lateral force generated during the transmission process, preventing the V-shaped frame from deforming under stress, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of long-term use.
[0036] In summary, this circular pipe auxiliary device, through the coordinated operation of lifting and conveying, achieves precise adjustment of large circular pipes in both vertical and horizontal directions, solving the problems of difficulty in movement, inaccurate positioning, and dangerous operation in traditional manual docking methods, and significantly improving the quality and efficiency of pipeline connection.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reduction gear set within the first gearbox is a two-stage reduction gear set. In this embodiment, a larger reduction ratio is achieved through two-stage gear transmission, converting the high-speed, low-torque power input from the outside into a low-speed, high-torque output. This generates sufficient driving torque to overcome the weight and frictional resistance of the large circular pipe, ensuring that the lifting column can smoothly lift the heavy pipe. Simultaneously, the larger reduction ratio makes the lifting speed of the lifting column more slow and controllable, facilitating fine-tuning by operators when the pipe approaches the predetermined position, thus improving docking accuracy. In addition, compared to a single-stage reduction, the two-stage reduction structure can bear a larger load under the same volume conditions, adapting to the lifting needs of large pipes in big data center pipe corridors. Moreover, the transmission is smooth and the noise is low, improving the reliability and operational comfort of the equipment.
[0038] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the three first rollers 27 in the circular pipe auxiliary device are made of hollow steel or solid polymer plastic, and are powered by a first worm gear 31 driven by an electric drill engaging a first meshing gear 30. In this embodiment, the first rollers 27 are made of hollow steel or solid polymer plastic, both of which have good load-bearing capacity and wear resistance, capable of bearing the weight of large circular pipes and ensuring long service life. The hollow steel material has high structural strength and rigidity, making it suitable for ultra-heavy-load conditions; the solid polymer plastic material has self-lubricating properties, which can reduce frictional damage to the pipe surface, while also being lightweight and low-noise, providing flexible selection for different working conditions. Using an electric drill as a power source to drive the first worm gear 31 to mesh with the first meshing gear 30 and rotate makes full use of common tools on the construction site, eliminating the need for an additional dedicated motor, thus reducing equipment costs and maintenance difficulty. The adjustable speed of the electric drill allows operators to control the transmission speed in real time according to the weight of the pipe and the distance traveled, achieving smooth start-up, uniform speed delivery, and precise stopping, making the horizontal fine-tuning and docking of large circular pipes more flexible and controllable.
[0039] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the circular tube auxiliary device further includes: a first suspension component 32; The first suspension component 32 is made of angle steel. Multiple adjustment holes 33 are provided longitudinally on the first suspension component 32. Bolts are used to fix the first base 19 to the first suspension component 32 through the adjustment holes 33 to adjust the overall position of the circular pipe auxiliary device. In this embodiment, the first suspension component 32, made of angle steel, can suspend the entire circular pipe auxiliary device from the channel steel (e.g., below the circular pipe 29) on the channel steel. Figure 4 The device and pipeline are arranged on the same level on the supporting beam of the scaffolding or lifting platform 12, which facilitates flexible installation in the limited space of the pipe gallery. Multiple adjustment holes 33 are set longitudinally on the first suspension component 32, which allows the operator to fix the first base 19 with bolts by selecting the hole positions at different heights, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the entire device relative to the pipeline, ensuring that the first roller 27 can accurately contact the surface of the circular pipeline 29, and adapting to different pipe diameters and installation height deviations. At the same time, the suspension structure allows the device to be pre-positioned before pipeline installation, or to be quickly disassembled and moved as needed during the connection process, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of operation.
[0040] Furthermore, Figure 7 This schematic diagram shows a front view of a square tube auxiliary device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 8 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the usage state of a square tubular auxiliary device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting and conveying auxiliary device further includes: The square tube auxiliary device includes: a second lifting component and a second conveying component; The second lifting component includes: a second base 34, a second gearbox (not shown in the figure), a second lifting chamber 36, a second lifting column 37 with a rack, and a second anti-reverse mechanism; The second lifting chamber 36 is supported on the second base 34. One end of the second lifting column 37 is supported on the bottom of the second conveying component, and the other end extends into the second lifting chamber 36 and can reciprocate in the vertical direction within the second lifting chamber 36. The second gearbox is equipped with an output gear 38, which meshes with the rack of the second lifting column 37. The second anti-reverse mechanism includes a second anti-reverse gear 39 and a second stop 40. The second anti-reverse gear 39 is arranged coaxially with the output gear 38. The second stop 40 cooperates with the second anti-reverse gear 39 to prevent the second anti-reverse gear 39 from rotating in the opposite direction. The second transmission component includes: a horizontal frame 41, a second worm gear meshing assembly, and a second roller assembly; The horizontal frame 41 is supported at the top of the second lifting column 37; The second roller assembly includes three second rollers 42, which are connected as one unit by a through shaft 43 and fixed on the horizontal frame 41 in a straight line arrangement. The second worm gear meshing assembly includes: a second meshing gear 44 and a second worm 45. One end of the middle second roller 42 of the three second rollers 42 is connected to the second meshing gear 44. The second worm 45 is disposed on the upper surface of the horizontal frame 41 and is engaged with the second meshing gear 44.
[0041] In this embodiment, the square pipe auxiliary device, through its specialized design for the characteristics of square pipes, achieves the following technical effects in the splicing of large square pipes: First, it achieves precise vertical lifting of the square tube. The reciprocating structure of the second lifting column 37 within the second lifting chamber 36 forms a stable guiding mechanism, ensuring that the square tube rises and falls vertically without deviation during the lifting process. Through the meshing of the output gear 38 with the rack of the second lifting column 37, the lifting column is driven to rise smoothly, enabling the heavy square tube to be precisely lifted to the predetermined docking height. The second anti-reverse gear 39 is coaxially arranged with the output gear 38 and cooperates with the second stop 40, automatically locking after the lifting is in place to prevent the lifting column from accidentally falling due to the weight of the tube, ensuring operational safety.
[0042] Secondly, it achieves stable horizontal transport of the square tubes. The three second rollers 42 are connected by a through shaft 43 and arranged in a straight line to form a continuous planar support surface, which can stably support the flat bottom surface of the square tube 48 and prevent the tube from tipping over or swaying during transport. The second worm gear 45 and the second meshing gear 44 cooperate to drive the middle roller to rotate, and transmit the power synchronously to the rollers on both sides through the through shaft 43, so that multiple rollers rotate synchronously, thereby driving the square tube to move horizontally and enabling the tubes of adjacent units to be precisely aligned. The straight roller arrangement is adapted to the planar contact characteristics of the square tube, with uniform contact and moderate friction, making the transport process stable and reliable.
[0043] Third, ensure the rigidity of the equipment structure. The horizontal frame 41 provides a flat support foundation for the square tubes. The straight roller assembly connected by the through shaft 43 has a simple structure and good rigidity, which can withstand the uniform load of the square tubes and avoid the deformation or asynchronous problems that may occur due to multiple independent supports.
[0044] In summary, this square pipe auxiliary device is specifically optimized for the characteristics of square pipes, such as a flat bottom surface and heavy weight. It enables precise adjustment of large square pipes in both vertical and horizontal directions, solving the problems of difficulty in movement, inaccurate positioning, and dangerous operation in traditional manual docking methods. Together with the round pipe auxiliary device, it forms a complete lifting and conveying solution, making this installation method adaptable to the connection needs of large pipelines with various cross-sectional shapes.
[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reduction gear set in the second gearbox is a single-stage reduction gear set. In this embodiment, since square tubes are lighter than round tubes of the same size, a single-stage reduction structure can provide sufficient output torque to drive the lifting column to lift smoothly, eliminating the need for multi-stage reduction. This makes the gearbox structure more compact and smaller in size, facilitating its arrangement in the limited space of the pipe gallery. At the same time, single-stage reduction has higher transmission efficiency, less power loss, and faster response, which can improve the efficiency of the lifting operation. In addition, the simple structure reduces manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty, enabling the device to achieve a lightweight and economical design while meeting the lifting requirements of square tubes. This differentiates it from the two-stage reduction structure in the auxiliary device for round tubes, reflecting the optimized matching for the different weight characteristics of square and round tubes.
[0046] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the three second rollers in the square pipe auxiliary device are made of hollow steel or solid polymer plastic, and are powered by a second worm gear driven by an electric drill engaging a second meshing gear. In this embodiment, the three second rollers 42 are made of hollow steel or solid polymer plastic. The hollow steel structure has high strength and rigidity, and can withstand the uniformly distributed load of a large square pipe without deformation, ensuring a smooth and reliable transmission process. The solid polymer plastic material has self-lubricating properties, which can reduce sliding friction with the bottom surface of the square pipe, avoid scratches on the pipe surface, and is also lightweight and has low operating noise, providing a flexible selection solution for different working conditions. Using a hand drill as a power source to drive the second worm gear 45 to mesh with the second meshing gear 44, this system makes full use of commonly used tools on the construction site, eliminating the need for a dedicated motor and reducing equipment costs and maintenance difficulty. The adjustable speed of the hand drill allows operators to control the conveying speed in real time according to the weight of the square pipe and the required moving distance, achieving smooth start-up, uniform speed conveying, and precise stopping. This ensures that large square pipes can be accurately aligned in the horizontal direction, further improving the efficiency and reliability of pipeline connection.
[0047] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the square tube auxiliary device further includes: a second suspension component 46; The second suspension component 46 is made of angle steel, and multiple adjustment holes 47 are provided along the longitudinal direction on the second suspension component. The second base 34 is fixed to the second suspension component 46 with bolts through the adjustment holes to adjust the overall position of the square pipe auxiliary device. In this embodiment, the entire square pipe auxiliary device is suspended on the channel steel below the square pipeline by the second suspension component 46 made of angle steel, realizing the same-layer arrangement of the device and the pipeline, which facilitates flexible installation in the limited space of the pipe gallery. The multiple adjustment holes 47 provided along the longitudinal direction on the second suspension component 46 allow the operator to fix the second base 34 with bolts by selecting different height holes, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the entire device relative to the pipeline, ensuring that the straight-arranged second rollers 42 can accurately contact the flat bottom surface of the square pipe, and adapting to the height deviation of square pipes of different specifications. At the same time, this suspension structure allows the device to be pre-positioned before pipeline installation, or to be quickly disassembled and moved as needed during the connection process, improving the flexibility and adaptability of operation.
[0048] According to the above-described scheme of the present invention, the present invention achieves rapid overall installation of pipelines by combining the pipe group integration unit with the slide rail suspension, which greatly shortens the construction period; it achieves precise docking of large pipelines by using the jacking and conveying auxiliary device, which improves the quality of connection; it reduces labor intensity and safety risks by replacing manual handling with mechanized operations; and it reduces the amount of drilling in the roof slab by using centralized suspension, which reduces damage to the building structure.
