[0002] During the operation of rail transit, especially when the train is accelerating or decelerating, passengers may become unstable due to the effect of inertia. Therefore, in order to avoid collisions that pose a great safety hazard to passengers, and out of consideration for the safety of passengers taking the subway, manufacturers will install handrails inside the subway cars. The handrails erected inside the car can provide passengers with support for grasping, leaning on or holding on, thereby improving the safety of the train.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 , a specific curved pipe support device is described for the technical solution of the utility model, the structure of the curved pipe support device includes: a fixed sleeve 1, a movable head 2;

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the movable head 2 is arranged at one end of the fixed sleeve 1, and the movable head 2 is located in the extension direction of the center line of the fixed sleeve 1;

[0031] The fixed sleeve 1 is a circular cylindrical structure, and the movable head 2 is hinged at one end thereof. The fixed sleeve 1 and the movable head 2 are in a straight line when entering the handrail. When the handrail is bent under the action of external force, since the movable head 2 is matched with the inner diameter of the bent pipe, the bent pipe is closely supported by the movable head 2, which greatly reduces the occurrence of bending deformation, cracking, etc. of the bent pipe.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, in the present technical solution, in order to bend handrails of different diameters and shapes, the movable head 2 is detachably connected to the fixed sleeve 1. Specifically, a connecting structure is provided at the bottom of the movable head 2 to achieve a detachable connection with the fixed sleeve 1. The movable head 2 of different shapes and sizes customized according to different needs is detachably connected to the fixed sleeve 1 to meet the customization needs of customers.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the present embodiment, the connection structure provided at the bottom of the movable head 2 is specifically an articulated ball head 3, and correspondingly, a connection hole 4 matching the articulated ball head 3 is provided at one end of the fixed sleeve 1 connected to the movable head 2, and the movable head 2 is detachably connected to the fixed sleeve 1 by inserting the articulated ball head 3 provided at the bottom into the connection hole 4; due to the insertion of the articulated ball head 3, the movable head 2 can be adjusted in angle relative to the fixed sleeve 1 at the connection point, and the ball head design can allow the movable head 2 to have a larger angle adjustment range.

[0034] Furthermore, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the movable head 2 is also provided with the connecting hole 4 which is the same as the end of the fixed sleeve 1 .

[0035] This is preferred, because the connecting hole 4 is also provided on the top of the movable head 2, and a plurality of the movable heads 2 can be combined and provided on the fixed sleeve 1 along the axial direction, and the number of the movable heads 2 is determined according to the actual required length of the handrail bent pipe, and can be freely and flexibly combined to realize customized production.

[0036] Furthermore, according to the flexible assembly quantity of the movable heads 2, the bending angle range of the bent pipe is 0-180°. When the required bending angle is larger, the required quantity of the movable heads 2 also increases.

[0037] As a preference, in order to support the handrail during the pipe bending process to avoid deformation or wrinkles, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the part where the side of the movable head 2 contacts the inner wall of the handrail elbow is a curved surface; more specifically, it is an outwardly curved surface for providing arc support to the inner wall of the handrail pipe to avoid deformation caused by pressure concentration due to support of the elbow by sharp contact points.

[0038] Preferably, the bending angle between the movable heads 2 is determined by the rotation angle of the articulated ball head 3. In order to obtain a larger bending angle, the movable head 2 Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the movable head 2 are flat to avoid interference caused by other anisotropic surfaces.

[0039] Preferably, since the main function of the movable head 2 is to provide abutment support in the handrail bend, the hardness of the movable head 2 is required to be relatively high. Only when the movable head 2 has sufficient hardness can it offset the deformation force generated by the bend. Therefore, in the present example, the movable head 2 is made of metal material, more specifically, it is made of high-hardness metal material and has the ability to abut against the pressure of the bend.

[0040] More preferably, in order to make the bending pipe support device provided by the technical solution lightweight and reduce the labor burden of the operator during the bending operation, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed sleeve 1 is designed as a hollow structure along the axial direction.

[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
