Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline construction, and more specifically to a variable spring hanger. Background Art

[0002] As a device used to support and suspend pipes, equipment, etc., the spring hanger's main components include springs, support rods, and hangers. It cleverly uses the elastic properties of the spring to work. When the pipe or equipment is subjected to external force, the spring will produce elastic deformation, thereby absorbing and dispersing the external force, effectively reducing the pressure on the building structure caused by the external force. Once the external force disappears, the spring will return to its original shape, keeping the entire system stable.

[0003] Shock absorption is a key function of spring hangers. When vibration occurs during the operation of equipment or pipelines, the spring can absorb and buffer the vibration through elastic deformation. However, with the increase of usage time, the elastic potential energy of the spring will gradually weaken. After the elastic potential energy weakens, the ability of the spring to absorb vibration also decreases, and it cannot buffer vibration as effectively as at the beginning, which eventually leads to intensified vibration of the equipment or pipeline. Strong vibration will not only generate loud noise and have adverse effects on the working environment, but also cause fatigue damage to the components of the equipment, reducing the reliability and stability of the equipment.

[0004] Given that the weakening of spring force will cause a series of problems, in order to ensure the safe operation of the system, the inspection frequency of spring hangers must be increased so as to detect the weakening of spring force in time. Once a problem is found, the spring needs to be repaired or replaced quickly, which undoubtedly increases the workload of maintenance personnel and also increases maintenance costs. In addition, when the spring breaks and is damaged, the effect of the spring hanger will disappear instantly, which will cause structural damage to the pipeline. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, people familiar with the art should understand that the detailed description given here in conjunction with the drawings is for better explanation, and the structure of the present invention necessarily exceeds these limited embodiments. For some equivalent replacement schemes or common means, they are no longer described in detail herein, but still fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Figure 1-Figure 4 It is the best embodiment of the utility model, and the following Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model is further described.

[0022] See attached Figure 1-Figure 4 The variable spring hanger comprises an outer tube 1, a convex plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer tube 1, a positioning plate 3 is fixedly connected inside the outer tube 1, the positioning plate 3 is located at the upper part of the outer tube 1, a sliding rod 4 is slidably connected to the middle part of the positioning plate 3, a top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer tube 1, a threaded tube 6 is externally threadedly connected to the sliding rod 4, the threaded tube 6 is located on the upper side of the top plate 5, a fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded tube 6, air outlet holes 8 are equidistantly opened around the upper part of the sliding rod 4, a return spring 9 is connected to the outer sleeve of the sliding rod 4, a baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding rod 4, and the baffle 10 is located in the outer tube 1, the return spring 9 is located between the baffle 10 and the positioning plate 3, the baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 11, the lower end of the connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the piston plate 12, the inner part of the outer tube 1 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 14, the fixing seat 14 is located at the lower part of the outer tube 1, the top of the fixing seat 14 is provided with a sealing cavity 13, the bottom of the outer tube 1 is fixedly connected to the base 15, the baffle 10, the connecting rod 11 and the piston plate 12 are provided with a connecting groove 111 at the inner center, the sliding rod 4 is provided with a cavity 41, and the cavity 41 is connected with the air outlet 8.

[0023] In this embodiment, by setting a sealed cavity 13, when the baffle 10 slides, the piston plate 12 can slide inside the sealed cavity 13 through the connecting rod 11, and the air inlet and outlet inside the sealed cavity 13 are realized through the air outlet 8. By rotating the threaded tube 6, the size of the exhaust part of the air outlet 8 can be adjusted, and then the air inlet and outlet volume of the air outlet 8 can be controlled, so that the damping effect of the reset spring 9 can be adjusted according to the actual use of the reset spring 9. The adjustable damping design can effectively optimize the shock absorption performance of the spring hanger. When the pipeline or equipment produces a slight vibration, the damping can be reduced so that the spring hanger can respond to the vibration more flexibly and quickly absorb the vibration energy. When encountering a larger impact or strong vibration, increasing the damping can enhance the vibration suppression effect, avoid the vibration from being transmitted to the building structure or other components, reduce the impact on the surrounding environment and equipment, and enable the spring hanger to play a better role under various working conditions and ensure the stable operation of the pipeline or equipment. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the sealed cavity 13 and the piston plate 12 is used to ensure a better buffering effect.

[0024] Specifically, the baffle 10 is longitudinally slidably connected to the inside of the outer tube 1 , the bottom end of the return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the baffle 10 , and the top end of the return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 3 .

[0025] In this embodiment, by fixing the two ends of the return spring 9, whether it is used for hanging or supporting, the shock absorption can be achieved by stretching the return spring 9. In order to ensure the convenience of equipment assembly, the outer tube 1 can be set to two sections, and the two ends are detachably connected by flanges, which can facilitate assembly and maintenance of the inside of the outer tube 1.

[0026] Specifically, there are four convex plates 2 , and convex blocks are fixedly connected to both side surfaces of the positioning plate 3 . The convex blocks extend to the outside of the outer tube 1 and are inserted into the middle of the convex plate 2 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the position of the positioning plate 3 can be fixed by providing the protruding plate 2 .

[0028] Specifically, the outer surface of the piston plate 12 is sealingly and slidably connected to the inside of the sealing cavity 13 , and the inner top of the sealing cavity 13 is connected to the inside of the cavity 41 through the communicating groove 111 .

[0029] In this embodiment, by providing a slidable piston plate 12, whether the hanger is used for support or for hanging the pipeline, in conjunction with the sealing state of the air outlet 8 by the threaded tube 6, a better damping effect can be achieved, thereby enhancing adaptability and flexibility.

[0030] Specifically, the interior of the cavity 41 is connected to the exterior of the sliding rod 4 through the air outlet 8, and the outer surface of the sliding rod 4 is provided with threads matching the inner wall of the threaded tube 6. Since the air outlet 8 does not need to be completely closed, the threaded tube 6 and the sliding rod 4 do not need to be sealed.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gas volume of the gas outlet 8 can be controlled by rotating the threaded tube 6 .

[0032] Specifically, one end of the sliding rod 4 away from the baffle 10 extends to the outside of the outer tube 1 , and the outer surface of the sliding rod 4 is slidably connected to the inner center of the top plate 5 .

[0033] In this embodiment, by providing the top plate 5 , the sliding of the sliding rod 4 can be limited, thereby improving the sliding stability of the sliding rod 4 .

[0034] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, when vibration occurs, the fixed plate 7 drives the baffle plate 10 to slide up and down inside the outer tube 1 through the threaded tube 6 and the sliding rod 4. When the baffle plate 10 slides up and down, it drives the reset spring 9 to expand and contract. While the baffle plate 10 slides, it drives the piston plate 12 to slide up and down inside the sealing chamber 13 through the connecting rod 11. When the piston plate 12 slides downward, the pressure inside the sealing chamber 13 gradually increases. At this time, the air inside the sealing chamber 13 is discharged from the air outlet 8 through the connecting groove 111 and the cavity 41. When the piston plate 12 slides upward, the pressure inside the sealing chamber 13 increases. The force gradually decreases, and the external air enters the sealed cavity 13 through the air outlet 8, the cavity 41 and the connecting groove 111. Therefore, the amount of air entering the air outlet 8 can directly control the sliding damping of the baffle 10. When the damping needs to be increased, the amount of air entering and exiting the air outlet 8 needs to be reduced. The air outlet 8 can be blocked by rotating the threaded tube 6. Therefore, the damping size can be adjusted by rotating the threaded tube 6. Regardless of whether the hanger is used for support or for hanging the pipeline, the sealing state of the air outlet 8 by the threaded tube 6 can achieve a better damping effect, thereby enhancing adaptability and flexibility.

[0035] It should be noted that the blocking of the air outlet 8 is only to control the speed of the air inlet and outlet, and does not require precise control. Therefore, the conventional connection method between the threaded tube 6 and the sliding rod 4 can be used.

[0036] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the utility model without departing from the technical solution of the utility model still belongs to the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
