Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe cutting, in particular to a cutting device for ductile iron pipes with any length. Background Art

[0002] Ductile iron pipes are pipes cast by high-speed centrifugation of cast iron molten metal after adding a spheroidizing agent, and are widely used in trenchless construction technology. Trenchless construction technology is the laying and renewal of ductile iron pipelines without excavating the ground surface. Trenchless construction has the characteristics of not damaging the environment and not affecting traffic, and can carry out the construction of various underground pipelines in some areas where excavation construction cannot be implemented, such as downtown areas, historical site protection areas, crop and vegetation protection areas, and crossing highways, railways, buildings, rivers and lakes, etc. At present, common trenchless construction technologies are mainly divided into the pulling method and the pipe jacking method.

[0003] Pipe jacking technology is a trenchless pipe-laying construction technology for municipal construction. The pipe diameter of the constructed pipeline is generally DN600 - DN2200. Its advantages are that it does not affect the surrounding environment or has little impact, the construction site is small, the noise is small, and it can work deep underground, which is an incomparable advantage of open-cut pipe laying. The working principle of pipe jacking technology is to use the thrust of the main jacking cylinder to push the tool pipe or tunneling machine from the working shaft through the soil layer and lift it in the receiving shaft. At the same time, the pipeline following the tool pipe or tunneling machine is buried between the two shafts to achieve trenchless laying of underground pipelines.

[0004] At present, the effective length of domestic ductile iron pipes is mainly 6m, with one end being a socket and the other end being a spigot. During laying, the sockets and spigots of two pipes are connected. However, for pipes used in pipe jacking, due to the influence of special construction scenarios, there is often not enough space to excavate a 6m pipe jacking construction shaft. At the same time, the larger the pipe jacking construction shaft, the higher its cost. Therefore, the demand for micro pipe jacking with lengths of 5m, 4m, 3m, and 2m is gradually increasing. However, due to the influence of the mainstream market demand, the effective length of ductile iron pipes is still mainly 6m. A single 6m length cannot meet all requirements, and the pipe source needs to be cut and processed again. At present, the cutting method for ductile iron pipes is mainly manual cutting. Affected by the cutting equipment and the cutting experience of operators, the cutting process is time-consuming and laborious, and the quality of the cut pipes cannot be guaranteed.

[0033] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, a cutting device for ductile iron pipes with any length according to the present utility model includes a frame 1 and a walking track 2 arranged in sequence front and back in the same direction. A cutting support wheel group 5, a pipe body support wheel group 6, and a socket support wheel group 7 are sequentially and rotatably arranged on the walking track 2. On the upper surface of the front and back sides of the frame 1, a socket stop wheel 3 and a socket support wheel group 4 are respectively arranged. The socket support wheel group 4 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged support wheels 10, and a reduction motor 9 is connected to one of the support wheels 10. The cutting support wheel group 5, the pipe body support wheel group 6, and the socket support wheel group 7 all include a vehicle frame 11. On the upper part of each vehicle frame 11, a pair of support wheels 10 are symmetrically and evenly arranged, and rollers 12 that are rotatably connected to the walking track 2 are arranged at the bottom. A cutting device 8 for cutting ductile iron pipes is arranged on the vehicle frame 11 of the cutting support wheel group 5, and the cutting device 8 is located on the front side of its upper support wheel 10. In this embodiment, the socket support wheel group 4, the cutting support wheel group 5, the pipe body support wheel group 6, and the socket support wheel group 7 are in the same direction. The socket support wheel group 4 is fixedly designed, and the other three support wheel groups can move freely to adjust the length position. The support wheels 10 on the four support wheel groups respectively correspond to each other and are used to support the ductile iron pipe to be cut. The support wheel 10 connected to the reduction motor 9 on the socket support wheel group 4 is the driving wheel, and the other support wheel 10 and the support wheels 10 of the other support wheel groups are all driven wheels. By rotating the driving wheel, the ductile iron pipe placed on it can be driven to rotate, facilitating the need for cutting. In this embodiment, the socket stop wheel 3 is fixedly designed and plays a positioning role for the ductile iron pipe to be cut. When the pipe rotates and is cut, the socket end face is always in contact with the socket stop wheel 3, ensuring that the cutting position does not change and the cutting length is accurate.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cutting device 8 includes a motor mounting plate 84 rotatably connected to the vehicle frame 11. A cutting drive motor 81 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 84.

The material of the cutting blade 82 is diamond, with a diameter preferably of 420 mm, a hole of 32 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm. In this embodiment, the cutting drive motor 81 rotates to drive the cutting mechanism 85 to rotate, and then drives the cutting blade 82 mounted on the output end of the cutting mechanism 85 to rotate, thereby realizing the cutting of the ductile iron pipe. By the lifting device 83, the motor mounting plate 84 can be pushed to rotate, and then the cutting operation surface of the cutting blade 82 can be changed to meet the cutting requirements of pipes with different diameters. Preferably, the lifting device 83 is a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer diameters of the supporting wheels 10 of the socket supporting wheel set 4, the pipe body supporting wheel set 6, and the spigot supporting wheel set 7 are the same, with a diameter ranging from 500 mm to 1000 mm, preferably 800 mm. The distance between two symmetrically arranged supporting wheels 10 of each supporting wheel set is 200 mm to 600 mm, preferably 400 mm. Further, the supporting wheel 10 adopts a rubber-coated design, and the thickness of the rubber coating on the outer wall is 20 mm to 50 mm. The rubber-coated material is polyurethane or nylon rubber.

[0036] In this embodiment, a gear 18 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the frame 11 of the cutting supporting wheel set 5, the pipe body supporting wheel set 6, and the spigot supporting wheel set 7. The gear 18 is meshed with a rack 19 parallel to the traveling track 2. When the cutting supporting wheel set 5, the pipe body supporting wheel set 6, and the spigot supporting wheel set 7 move freely on the traveling track 2, they can be driven electrically or manually. At the same time, through the adjustment of the gear 18 and the rack 19, it can not only assist in positioning when the cutting supporting wheel set 5, the pipe body supporting wheel set 6, and the spigot supporting wheel set 7 move, but also ensure the stability of the movement and cutting of each supporting wheel set.

[0037] In this embodiment, track brake devices 17 are respectively arranged between the frames 11 of the cutting supporting wheel set 5, the pipe body supporting wheel set 6, and the spigot supporting wheel set 7 and the traveling track 2, which are used to lock each supporting wheel set and the traveling track 2 through the track brake devices 17 after the cutting supporting wheel set 5, the pipe body supporting wheel set 6, and the spigot supporting wheel set 7 move into place.

[0038] In this embodiment, the equipment may further include a cantilever crane 14, and a lifting appliance 15 is arranged on the cantilever crane 14, which facilitates the hoisting of the cut pipe fittings through the cantilever crane 14 and the lifting appliance 15, and when cutting longer lengths such as 5.5 m and 5.75 m, the corresponding pipe heads can be hooked.

[0039] In this embodiment, the equipment may further include a dust removal device, which is arranged at the cutting supporting wheel set 5 and is used to remove the iron filings and dust generated during cutting to avoid pollution.

[0040] In this embodiment, the equipment may further include an operating platform 16 to facilitate the operation of the operator. The reduction motor 9, the cutting drive motor 81, the lifting device 83, the cantilever crane 14, and the dust removal device are respectively connected to the operating platform 16.

[0041] During application, according to the target length that needs to be cut for the ductile iron pipe, first adjust the position of the cutting support wheel set 5 on the traveling track 2, and then lock the track through the track brake device 17 to prevent the movement of the support wheel set during the cutting operation from affecting the cutting operation; then move and position the pipe body support wheel set 6 and the socket support wheel set 7 on the traveling track 2 according to the length of the cut socket section, and also lock the track using the track brake device 17; then perform the cutting operation through the cutting device 8. In this way, after the cutting operation is completed, the spigot section of the pipe can fall smoothly on the socket support wheel set 4 and the cutting support wheel set 5, and the socket section of the pipe can fall smoothly on the pipe body support wheel set 6 and the socket support wheel set 7. When the cutting length changes, reposition the three movable support wheel sets. The design of the support wheel 10 of the present utility model supports the full-caliber placement of DN600 - DN2200. When the diameter of the cut pipe changes, adjust the lifting height of the cutting blade through the lifting device 83 to ensure normal cutting operation.

[0042] In addition to the common cutting requirements of 5m, 4m, 3m, and 2m for pipe jacking, when there are special length cutting operation requirements, such as lengths of 5.75m, 5.5m, etc., at this time, an extension track can be set outside the traveling track 2, or the traveling track can also be set to a longer length. Move the pipe body support wheel set 6 and the socket support wheel set 7 to the extension track to make room for the operation space. Then position and fix the cutting support wheel set 5 according to the target length, and then perform the cutting; after cutting, the pipe falls on the socket support wheel set 4 and the cutting support wheel set 5, and the corresponding pipe head is hung by the lifting tool of the cantilever crane 14.
