Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear power plant piping design, and specifically to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic equipment for installing piping supports and hangers. Background Technology

[0002] Piping systems are widely used in nuclear power plants, and pipe supports, as the main supporting elements of these systems, are a crucial component. The arrangement and selection of pipe supports during pipeline construction are critical aspects of support design, requiring advanced technology. The design of support locations, functional types, and quantities directly impacts pipeline stress distribution, installation effectiveness, and installation costs. Only through scientific and rational design and selection of pipe supports can operational safety be effectively improved, ensuring the pipeline fulfills its vital functions.

[0003] The design location, function, load, and thermal displacement of pipe supports and hangers play a crucial role in the safe and reliable operation of pipelines. However, the 3D modeling function of pipe supports and hangers has historically been a weakness of 3D design software. This limited modeling capability leads to a lag in 3D modeling compared to the publication of design drawings. Currently, pipe support and hanger design is primarily based on manually drawn drawings, followed by 3D modeling based on these drawings. If collisions or interferences are discovered after modeling, adjustments are made in 3D, and then the drawings are revised, easily resulting in inconsistencies between the drawings and the model. Furthermore, existing pipe support and hanger design schemes cannot be accurately adjusted during the pre-design stage to accommodate differences in pipeline configurations.

[0004] Patent document CN109213798A discloses a method for selecting constant force spring supports, comprising the following steps: establishing a database; inputting raw data and selecting support types; determining the support number in the database based on the input data and support type; outputting the support model and the model of the rod bolt; outputting the H1 value, Q value, V value, K value, and mass m corresponding to the support model, where H1 represents the installation height of the support in a unidirectional downward displacement cold position; constantness verification: verifying the constantness of the selected support; however, this method does not address the problem of lagging 3D modeling and insufficient adaptability in the design of supports in nuclear power plant piping systems.

[0005] Patent document CN114781101A discloses an intelligent design system and method for process piping in nuclear power plants. This system integrates a three-dimensional synthesis module and a mechanical calculation module. During the piping layout design process, pipe supports and hangers are automatically arranged through the support and hanger design module. Simultaneously, pipe mechanical calculations are performed, and adjustments are made to the pipe routing, distance, and supports and hangers based on the mechanical calculation results, ultimately forming a pipe and support layout design that meets stress requirements. When multiple process system piping systems are involved in the plant, the system automatically identifies and eliminates interference and collisions between various objects through the three-dimensional synthesis module. After the piping layout is finalized, the embedded plate and hole design modules automatically and accurately design embedded plates and holes based on the calculation results fed back by the mechanical calculation module. However, this system does not solve the problems of lagging three-dimensional modeling and insufficient adaptability in the design of supports and hangers in nuclear power plant piping systems.

[0006] In summary, neither of the two existing patents mentioned above has solved the problems of lagging 3D modeling and insufficient adaptability in the design of supports and hangers in nuclear power plant piping systems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipeline supports and hangers, which solves the problems of lagging three-dimensional modeling and insufficient adaptability in the design of supports and hangers in nuclear power plant pipeline systems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a method for installing pipe supports and hangers.

[0009] A method for installing pipe supports and hangers includes: Construct a pipeline model and analyze it to obtain the design load; Determine the pipe clamp model based on the design load; The root location is determined based on the pipe model and installation environment, and the connector model is determined based on the root location and the pipe clamp model. The root model is determined based on the root location, the connector model, and the design load; The pipe clamp model, the root model, and the connector model are combined to obtain the pipe support model.

[0010] Furthermore, the design load is obtained by analyzing the pipeline model, including: inputting the pipeline model into stress analysis software to calculate and obtain a mechanical report, wherein the mechanical report includes the design load corresponding to different pipelines in the pipeline model.

[0011] Further, determining the pipe clamp model based on the design load includes: filtering the pipe clamp model library according to the size parameters and functions of the pipe model to obtain one or more pipe clamp models, and then comparing and selecting the pipe clamp model based on the pipe clamp stress in the standard support and hanger manual.

[0012] Furthermore, the types of supports and hangers include straight type, diagonal support type, L-shaped beam, H-shaped beam and portal beam.

[0013] Furthermore, the complexity of the support and hanger types, from high to low, are as follows: portal beam, H-beam, L-beam, diagonal support type, and straight type.

[0014] Further, determining the root location based on the pipe model and installation environment includes: setting a base envelope box according to the type of support and hanger, and determining the root location based on the base envelope box and the installation environment on the periphery of the pipe model.

[0015] Further, determining the root position based on the basic envelope box and the installation environment around the pipe model includes: setting the basic envelope box based on the most complex type of support / hanger; placing the basic envelope box at a location where the pipe clamp model can be connected; determining whether there is collision interference at the current position of the basic envelope box; if there is no collision interference, selecting the vertical position of the nearest wall, floor, or steel platform in the installation environment as the root position; if there is collision interference, excluding the wall, floor, or steel platform, and continuing to determine whether there is collision interference at the nearest wall, floor, or steel platform in the installation environment; if there is still collision interference, reconstructing the basic envelope box using a less complex type of support / hanger, and repeating the above steps until there is no collision interference and the root position is determined.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes: presetting the logic points of the basic envelope box based on empirical values, and determining the rooting method based on the logic points and the installation environment.

[0017] Furthermore, the rooting methods include support type, hanging type and combined type.

[0018] Further, determining the connector model based on the root location and the pipe clamp model includes: constructing an initial connection model between the root location and the pipe clamp model, and iterating the initial connection model according to the support type to obtain the connector model.

[0019] Further, the initial connection model is iteratively obtained according to the support type to obtain the connector model, including: first, constructing the initial connection model at the root position based on the support type with the lowest complexity, connecting one end of the initial connection model to the pipe clamp model, setting steel parameters for the initial connection model, and performing trial calculations through simulation analysis software. If the results do not meet the design load, the steel parameters are adjusted, replacing them sequentially from smaller specifications to larger specifications. If the steel parameters of the largest specification still do not meet the design load, the initial connection model is reconstructed according to the support type with higher complexity, and the above calculations are repeated until the design load is met, thus obtaining the connector model.

[0020] Further, determining the root model based on the root location, the connector model, and the design load includes: inputting the connector model and the design load into stress analysis software to obtain the bearing load at the root location; and adjusting the embedded plate of the root model in simulation analysis software based on the bearing load to obtain the root model that satisfies the bearing load.

[0021] Furthermore, the pipe clamp model, the root model, and the connector model are combined to obtain a pipe support model, including: importing the obtained pipe clamp model, the root model, and the connector model into 3D design software, and installing the root model, the connector model, and the pipe clamp model in the installation environment to construct the pipe support model.

[0022] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also proposes a pipe support and hanger installation device.

[0023] A pipe support and hanger installation device, characterized in that it comprises: The pipeline analysis module is used to construct a pipeline model and analyze the pipeline model to obtain the design load. The pipe clamp design module is used to determine the pipe clamp model based on the design load. The connection design module is used to determine the root location based on the pipe model and the installation environment, and to determine the connector model based on the root location and the pipe clamp model; A root design module is used to determine the root model based on the root location, the connector model, and the design load; The model assembly module is used to combine the pipe clamp model, the root model and the connector model to obtain the pipe support and hanger model.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipe supports and hangers. By constructing a pipe model and analyzing the design load, the pipe clamp model can be accurately determined, thereby ensuring the matching degree and load-bearing capacity of the pipe clamp and the pipe. The root position is determined by combining the pipe model and the installation environment, and then the connector model is determined based on the root position and the pipe clamp model, making the installation position and connection method of the supports and hangers more reasonable, avoiding collision interference, and adapting to different installation scenarios. The root model is determined based on the root position, connector model, and design load, and the pipe clamp model, root model, and connector model are combined to obtain the pipe support and hanger model, realizing the three-dimensional integrated design of supports and hangers. This avoids the inconsistency between drawings and models caused by traditional manual design drawings and subsequent three-dimensional modeling, improving design efficiency and accuracy. It can make accurate adjustments in the pre-design stage according to the differences in pipelines, effectively improving the adaptability and reliability of supports and hangers, and thus ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the pipeline system.

[0025] 2. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for installing pipe supports and hangers. By inputting a pipe model into stress analysis software to obtain a mechanical report, the design load corresponding to different pipes is clearly defined. Simultaneously, the pipe clamp model library is screened using the pipe model's dimensional parameters and functions, and compared with the pipe clamp stress data in standard support and hanger manuals. This allows for precise determination of the matching relationship between the pipe clamp model and the design load. This process not only improves the scientific nature and accuracy of pipe clamp selection but also avoids selection errors caused by insufficient experience or inaccurate calculations in traditional manual design. Therefore, it effectively enhances the support effect of supports and hangers on the pipeline, ensuring reasonable stress distribution during pipeline operation, reducing the risk of pipeline deformation and damage, and guaranteeing the safe and reliable operation of the pipeline system.

[0026] 3. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipeline supports and hangers. It sets up a foundation envelope box based on the most complex type of support or hanger, ensuring design redundancy in the support / hanger structure. By adjusting the position of the foundation envelope box and assessing collision interference in the installation environment, the root position is determined, achieving a scientific layout and reasonable selection of the support / hanger root position. Combining preset logic points to determine the rooting method (support type, suspension type, or combined type) fully considers the spatial limitations and complexity of the installation environment, further avoiding collision interference problems between the support / hanger and surrounding structures caused by improper root position selection. This improves the feasibility and reliability of support / hanger installation, enabling the support / hanger to better adapt to different installation scenarios, enhancing its adaptability and stability, and providing strong protection for the safe operation of the pipeline system.

[0027] 4. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipeline supports and hangers. It iterates the initial connection model using support and hanger types with increasing complexity to meet the most simplified structural design requirements in the nuclear power field. By progressively adjusting the steel profile parameters and reconstructing the initial connection model until the design load is met, the design accuracy of the connectors and root models is improved. After inputting the connector model and design load into stress analysis software to obtain the bearing load, the embedded plate of the root model is adjusted to meet the bearing load, achieving precise design and optimization of the connectors and root models. This ensures the load-bearing capacity and stability of the overall support and hanger structure and avoids the problem of repeated drawing modifications caused by unreasonable connector and root design in traditional designs. Therefore, it effectively improves the load-bearing performance and operational reliability of the supports and hangers, further ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline system. Simultaneously, it reduces the cost of repeated design and replacement that may be caused by improper design, improving the economy and practicality of the pipeline system.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0032] Example

[0033] To address the issues of lagging 3D modeling and insufficient adaptability in the design of pipe supports and hangers in nuclear power plant piping systems, this invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipe supports and hangers.

[0034] In this invention, "simulation analysis software" refers to a professional software tool used for complex engineering calculations such as finite element analysis, modal analysis, and harmonic response analysis. It can help to accurately simulate and analyze the dynamic response characteristics of objects under different working conditions, and can be ANSYS, ADINA, or NASTRAN.

[0035] In this invention, "3D design software" refers to engineering design software used to construct 3D models of pipeline networks, define the geometric and topological relationships of pipeline networks, and export relevant structural information, such as AVEVA E3D, AVEVA PDMS, Autodesk Revit, and Intergraph CADWorx.

[0036] In this invention, "stress analysis software" refers to a professional software tool used to perform mechanical analysis on a pipeline model and calculate its stress distribution, deformation, and load-bearing capacity. Specifically, it can be software such as CAEPIPE or ABAQUS.

[0037] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also proposes a method for setting up pipe supports and hangers.

[0038] like Figure 1 The figure illustrates a method for installing pipe supports and hangers according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process mainly includes the following steps: S101: Construct a pipeline model and analyze it to obtain the design load.

[0039] Furthermore, the pipeline model is input into stress analysis software for calculation to obtain a mechanical report, which includes the design loads corresponding to different sections of different pipelines in the pipeline model.

[0040] Specifically, based on design drawings or experience, designers construct pipeline models for pipelines requiring mechanical calculations using 3D design software. These models are saved as structured data in a standard PCF format and sent to stress analysis software. The stress analysis software then converts the structured data into a computational model for analysis. This step eliminates the need for designers to reconstruct the model with mechanical parameter calculation logic within the stress analysis software, improving the efficiency of large-scale pipeline support simulation design and generating a mechanical report. The mechanical report includes design loads for different sections of the pipeline model. The stress analysis software then sends the design loads as structured data to the 3D design software for data exchange. The mechanical report is generated using both JSON and text formats, completing the data packet push. Designers then complete the pipeline mechanical analysis process within the 3D design software.

[0041] S102: Determine the pipe clamp model based on the design load.

[0042] Furthermore, the pipe clamp model library is filtered according to the size parameters and functions of the pipe model to obtain one or more pipe clamp models, and then the pipe clamp models are selected by comparison with the pipe clamp force in the standard support and hanger manual.

[0043] Specifically, a management card model library is constructed based on historical data, such as... Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the window represents a cross-sectional view of the pipeline. The type of pipe clamp is determined based on the function of the pipeline. Pipe clamp types include U-shaped clamps, C-shaped clamps, lug clamps, saddle clamps, sliding clamps, guide clamps, spring clamps, and hanger clamps, each used for different functions or pipeline structures. In this implementation, as... Figure 7 As shown, the pipe clamp model 3 of the U-shaped pipe clamp is directly selected. In other embodiments, the pipe clamp type can also be adjusted according to the function of the pipe, such as the pipe needing to slide within a certain range, move in a specific direction, or the pipe diameter changing due to thermal expansion and contraction of the liquid inside the pipe. The size parameters of the pipe clamp model 3 are set according to the size of the pipe model 6, and the pipe clamp model is generated through the frame generation module in the window.

[0044] S103: Determine the root location based on the pipe model and installation environment, and determine the connector model based on the root location and the pipe clamp model.

[0045] Furthermore, the types of supports and hangers include straight type, diagonal support type, L-shaped beam, H-shaped beam and portal beam.

[0046] Furthermore, based on empirical values, the logic points of the basic envelope box are preset. The anchoring method is determined based on these logic points and the installation environment. The anchoring method includes support type, suspension type, or a combination type. In the support type, the connector is used to support the pipe; in the suspension type, the connector is used to lift the pipe; and in the combination type, the connector is used for both supporting and lifting the pipe. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 For support type, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The one shown is a composite type.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 The diagram shows a straight-line support type, where two connection methods are provided at the base 1. Figure 2 a is where the root 1 is connected to one end of the connector 7. Figure 2 b represents the mechanical analysis when the root 1 is connected to the middle position of the connector 7, such as Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates the inclined support type of the support and its mechanical analysis. Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of an L-shaped beam with a support and hanger type and its mechanical analysis. Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates an H-beam with a support and hanger type and its mechanical analysis. Figure 6 The diagram shown is a portal beam with a support and hanger type and its mechanical analysis. Figures 2-6 This includes mechanical analysis, simulation analysis software, or stress analysis software for the force and moment analysis of this type of analysis. Here, A is a logical point, B, C, P, and O are all logical points for structural connection calculations, Fu represents the horizontal force acting on the support, Fv represents the vertical force acting on the support, Fw represents the vertical force acting on the support, Mu represents the moment acting on the support about logical point A, Mv represents the moment acting on the support about logical point A, Mw represents the moment acting on the support about logical point A, and L represents the effective length of the connector.

[0048] Furthermore, the complexity of the support and hanger types, from high to low, are as follows: portal beam, H-beam, L-beam, diagonal support type, and straight type.

[0049] Furthermore, the basic envelope box is set based on the most complex type of support and hanger. The basic envelope box is placed at a position where the pipe clamp model can be connected. It is determined whether there is collision interference at the current position of the basic envelope box. If there is no collision interference, the vertical position of the nearest wall, floor, or steel platform in the installation environment is selected as the root position. If there is collision interference, the wall, floor, or steel platform is excluded, and the determination of whether there is collision interference at the nearest wall, floor, or steel platform in the installation environment is continued. If there is still collision interference, the basic envelope box is reconstructed using the less complex type of support and hanger. The above steps are repeated until there is no collision interference and the root position is determined.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, as follows Figure 6 The portal beam-type support structure shown in the diagram forms a foundation envelope box. This foundation envelope box is positioned along the pipe model at a location where it can partially connect to the pipe clamp model. Collision interference is assessed at this location, including the foundation itself. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, collision interference is determined by the foundation envelope boxes constructed with inclined support type, L-shaped beam, H-shaped beam and portal beam. Therefore, a straight support is selected to construct the foundation envelope box, and the root position 2 shown in the figure is obtained. The root position 2 obtained by collision interference of the foundation envelope box constructed according to different support types can be one or multiple.

[0051] Furthermore, the rooting method can be adjusted, the type of support can be selected, and the foundation envelope box can be set to always perform collision interference tests. Alternatively, the foundation envelope box can be set to perform collision tests based on the support type with the highest complexity, and the foundation can be adjusted according to the complexity to determine the root position 2.

[0052] Furthermore, an initial connection model is constructed between the root location and the pipe clamp model, and the initial connection model is iterated according to the support type to obtain the connector model.

[0053] In this embodiment, an initial connection model is first constructed at the root position based on the support type with the lowest complexity. One end of the initial connection model is connected to the pipe clamp model. Steel parameters are set for the initial connection model, and trial calculations are performed using simulation analysis software. If the results do not meet the design load, the steel parameters are adjusted, replacing them sequentially from smaller to larger specifications. If the steel parameters of the largest specification still do not meet the design load, the initial connection model is reconstructed based on the support type with higher complexity. The above calculations are repeated until the design load is met, thus obtaining the connector model.

[0054] Specifically, an initial connection model is constructed using a straight-line design, with the initial steel parameter set to slot 10. Slot 10 is assigned as the initial model value, and calculations are performed using the simulation analysis software ANSYS. If the load that the steel parameter can bear is lower than the design load, the steel parameter slot 10 is adjusted to slot 12, and the above steps are repeated to calculate the load that the initial connection model can bear until the strength of the initial connection model meets the design load. The current steel parameter is then saved. In other embodiments, if the preset maximum specification steel parameter slot 20 still cannot meet the design load requirements, then an initial connection model is constructed based on a diagonal support type, and the above steps are repeated to calculate the strength of the initial model until the design load is met. Figure 8 The image shown is a three-dimensional model combining the connector model and the pipe clamp model to meet the design load.

[0055] S104: Determine the root model based on the root location, the connector model, and the design load.

[0056] Furthermore, the connecting component model and the design load are input into the stress analysis software to obtain the bearing load at the root position. Based on the bearing load, the embedded plate of the root model is adjusted in the simulation analysis software to obtain the root model that meets the bearing load.

[0057] Specifically, the connector model and design load obtained in the above steps are input into the stress analysis software to obtain the load-bearing capacity. In the embedded plate model, a pre-embedded plate with greater redundancy and a connector group are selected. The self-defense analysis software is used to determine whether the pre-embedded plate meets the load-bearing capacity requirements. If it does, the redundancy of the pre-embedded plate is adjusted until the load-bearing capacity requirements are no longer met. Then, the previous pre-embedded plate is selected as the root model.

[0058] S105: Combine the pipe clamp model, the root model and the connector model to obtain the pipe support model.

[0059] Furthermore, the obtained pipe clamp model, root model, and connector model are imported into 3D design software, and the root model, connector model, and pipe clamp model are installed in the installation environment to construct the pipe support model.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 9 The image shown is a pipe support model formed by combining the pipe clamp model, connector model, and root model as determined in this embodiment.

[0061] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to this application.

[0062] Based on another aspect of the embodiments of this application, the present invention also provides a pipe support and hanger installation device. For example...

[0103] In summary, as can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: 1. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipe supports and hangers. By constructing a pipe model and analyzing the design load, the pipe clamp model can be accurately determined, thereby ensuring the matching degree and load-bearing capacity of the pipe clamp and the pipe. The root position is determined by combining the pipe model and the installation environment, and then the connector model is determined based on the root position and the pipe clamp model, making the installation position and connection method of the supports and hangers more reasonable, avoiding collision interference, and adapting to different installation scenarios. The root model is determined based on the root position, connector model, and design load, and the pipe clamp model, root model, and connector model are combined to obtain the pipe support and hanger model, realizing the three-dimensional integrated design of supports and hangers. This avoids the inconsistency between drawings and models caused by traditional manual design drawings and subsequent three-dimensional modeling, improving design efficiency and accuracy. It can make accurate adjustments in the pre-design stage according to the differences in pipelines, effectively improving the adaptability and reliability of supports and hangers, and thus ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the pipeline system.

[0104] 2. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for installing pipe supports and hangers. By inputting a pipe model into stress analysis software to obtain a mechanical report, the design load corresponding to different pipes is clearly defined. Simultaneously, the pipe clamp model library is screened using the pipe model's dimensional parameters and functions, and compared with the pipe clamp stress data in standard support and hanger manuals. This allows for precise determination of the matching relationship between the pipe clamp model and the design load. This process not only improves the scientific nature and accuracy of pipe clamp selection but also avoids selection errors caused by insufficient experience or inaccurate calculations in traditional manual design. Therefore, it effectively enhances the support effect of supports and hangers on the pipeline, ensuring reasonable stress distribution during pipeline operation, reducing the risk of pipeline deformation and damage, and guaranteeing the safe and reliable operation of the pipeline system.

[0105] 3. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipeline supports and hangers. It sets up a foundation envelope box based on the most complex type of support or hanger, ensuring design redundancy in the support / hanger structure. By adjusting the position of the foundation envelope box and assessing collision interference in the installation environment, the root position is determined, achieving a scientific layout and reasonable selection of the support / hanger root position. Combining preset logic points to determine the rooting method (support type, suspension type, or combined type) fully considers the spatial limitations and complexity of the installation environment, further avoiding collision interference problems between the support / hanger and surrounding structures caused by improper root position selection. This improves the feasibility and reliability of support / hanger installation, enabling the support / hanger to better adapt to different installation scenarios, enhancing its adaptability and stability, and providing strong protection for the safe operation of the pipeline system.

[0106] 4. This invention proposes a method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for setting up pipeline supports and hangers. It iterates the initial connection model using support and hanger types with increasing complexity to meet the most simplified structural design requirements in the nuclear power field. By progressively adjusting the steel profile parameters and reconstructing the initial connection model until the design load is met, the design accuracy of the connectors and root models is improved. After inputting the connector model and design load into stress analysis software to obtain the bearing load, the embedded plate of the root model is adjusted to meet the bearing load, achieving precise design and optimization of the connectors and root models. This ensures the load-bearing capacity and stability of the overall support and hanger structure and avoids the problem of repeated drawing modifications caused by unreasonable connector and root design in traditional designs. Therefore, it effectively improves the load-bearing performance and operational reliability of the supports and hangers, further ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline system. Simultaneously, it reduces the cost of repeated design and replacement that may be caused by improper design, improving the economy and practicality of the pipeline system.
