[0035] The following further elaborates on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-5 drawings for a more detailed description.

[0036] An embodiment of the present application discloses a pipe clamping device for rail vehicles.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , a pipe clamping device for rail vehicles includes a tooling rack 1 that can be stacked on top of each other. In this embodiment, two tooling racks 1 are stacked on top of each other as an example. A plurality of support rods 2 are provided on the tooling rack 1. The number of support rods 2 in this embodiment is six. The six support rods 2 are divided into two layers spaced up and down.

A space is left between adjacent two layers of support rods 2 for the bent ends of the pipes to be vertically placed, so as to reduce the occupied space of the pipes in the horizontal direction and improve the space utilization rate of the tooling rack 1. The bent ends of adjacent two pipes placed vertically are connected at intervals through a connecting component 3.

[0038] A plurality of clamping components 4 are provided on each support rod 2. The clamping components 4 are used to clamp and fix the pipes. Each clamping component 4 is slidably arranged on the support rod 2 and is fixed to the support rod 2 through a fixing component 5, so as to be able to adjust the position of the clamping component 4 on the support rod 2.

[0039] When transporting the pipes, first drive the clamping component 4 to slide on the support rod 2 to adjust the position of the clamping component 4 to adapt to the placement of pipes with different bent shapes. Then, fix the clamping component 4 through the fixing component 5. Then, clamp and fix the pipes through the clamping component 4. The bent ends of the pipes can be vertically placed between the support rods 2 on both sides. Then, connect the adjacent two bent ends through the connecting component 3. By clamping and fixing the pipes and connecting the adjacent two bent ends through the connecting component 3, the collision and extrusion of the pipes during the transportation process can be effectively avoided, and the influence of the transportation process on the installation of the pipes can be reduced.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the clamping component 4 in this embodiment includes an elastic clamping block 41. The clamping block 41 is made of rubber material. Two clamping parts 411 are provided on the clamping block 41, and a clamping groove 412 for the pipe to be inserted is formed between the two clamping parts 411. The two clamping parts 411 can clamp and fix the pipe. The size of the clamping groove 412 can be set according to the different pipe diameters. Arc-shaped grooves that fit the pipes are provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping parts 411. On the one hand, it can increase the contact area between the clamping part 411 and the pipe, improve the uniformity of the force on the pipe, and on the other hand, it can limit the pipe and improve the stability of the pipe clamping and fixing.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2, a sliding groove 21 is provided on each support rod 2 along its length direction.

The support rod 2 is provided with an installation and disassembly opening 22 communicating with the sliding groove 21 at the end of the sliding groove 21, so that the sliding portion 413 can be inserted into or withdrawn from the sliding groove 21. By providing the installation and disassembly opening 22, it is convenient to add or reduce the clamping blocks 41 on the support rod 2.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , a strip-shaped hole 23 communicating with the sliding groove 21 is provided on the side surface of the support rod 2. The fixing assembly 5 includes a fixing bolt 51 and a fixing piece 52. The fixing piece 52 is fixedly arranged on the side of the sliding portion 413 facing away from the strip-shaped hole 23. The fixing bolt 51 can sequentially pass through the strip-shaped hole 23, the sliding portion 413, and the fixing piece 52 and be threadedly connected to the fixing piece 52. The fixing bolt 51 can drive the fixing piece 52 to move towards the strip-shaped hole 23, so that the sliding portion 413 is tightly pressed and fixed on the groove wall of the sliding groove 21.

[0043] When the clamping block 41 slides on the support rod 2, the clamping block 41 drives the fixing bolt 51 to slide in the strip-shaped hole 23. After the position of the clamping block 41 is adjusted, the operator screws the fixing bolt 51. The head of the fixing bolt 51 abuts against the side surface of the support rod 2, and then continues to screw the fixing bolt 51. The fixing bolt 51 drives the fixing piece 52 to tightly press and fix the sliding portion 413 on the groove wall of the sliding groove 21, realizing the fixation of the clamping block 41 on the support rod 2 and improving the flexibility of the position adjustment of the clamping block 41; through the setting of the fixing piece 52, the stability of the abutting and fixing of the sliding portion 413 and the groove wall of the sliding groove 21 is improved.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 , the connecting assembly 3 in this embodiment includes an elastic ring 31 and a flexible rod 32. The elastic ring 31 is a rubber ring. The elastic ring 31 is sleeved on the bent end of each vertically placed pipe fitting. Adjacent two elastic rings 31 are connected by a flexible rod 32.

The cooperation between the right-angle base 71 and the right-angle limiting plate 72 on the adjacent tooling rack 1 restricts the sliding of the adjacent two tooling racks 1, thereby improving the stability of the tooling racks 1 stacked on each other.

[0047] The implementation principle of a pipe clamping device for rail vehicles in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: When transporting pipes, the clamping block 41 drives the fixing bolt 51 to slide in the strip-shaped hole 23 to adjust the position of the clamping block 41 to adapt to the placement of pipes with different bending shapes. After the position of the clamping block 41 is adjusted, the operator screws the fixing bolt 51. The head of the fixing bolt 51 abuts against the side surface of the support rod 2, and then continues to screw the fixing bolt 51. The fixing bolt 51 drives the fixing piece 52 to tightly press and fix the sliding part 413 against the groove wall of the sliding groove 21, realizing the fixation of the clamping block 41 on the support rod 2. Then, the pipe is inserted into the clamping groove 412, and the pipe is clamped and fixed by the two clamping parts 411. The bent end of the pipe can hang between the two side support rods 2 to reduce the occupied space of the pipe in the horizontal direction. The elastic ring 31 is sleeved on the bent end of the pipe where it hangs, and they are connected by the flexible rod 32. Through the clamping and fixing of the pipe and the connection of the flexible rod 32 between the adjacent two bent ends, the collision and extrusion of the pipe during transportation can be effectively avoided, and the impact on the installation of the pipe during transportation can be reduced.

[0048] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
