Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline support, and particularly refers to a support member, a support assembly and a support framework. Background Art

[0002] Water tanks (or water towers) are generally installed at high positions on the roof, and some are even installed on the slopes of the roof. Moreover, the water tanks are relatively tall and have a smooth outer surface. If cleaners climb up to clean the water tanks, they are likely to slip. Therefore, cleaning the water tanks is an extremely dangerous task. Every year, many people are injured or even killed due to falling from a height during water tank cleaning. After the top cover of the water tank is opened, since the water tank is relatively deep and out of reach by hand, tools similar to mops need to be used, but there are many dead corners that cannot be cleaned; another problem is that the deeper the water tank, the longer the handle required and the greater the torque, making it very strenuous to clean.

[0003] Generally, water tanks are not deliberately cleaned. Most of the time, it is only when there is sewage from the faucet that people will observe the water tank and find that there is a large amount of dirt accumulated at the bottom of the water tank. If this situation occurs during a water shortage, it is a very embarrassing choice. If the water tank is emptied completely for cleaning, it means there will be no water available, and it is very wasteful!

[0004] To solve the above problems, the applicant's prior invention patent application CN 110773528 A proposed a water tower automatic cleaner, which can better solve the problem of cleaning the water tank without stopping the water supply. However, new problems were found during actual use: The cleaner is installed at the bottom of the water tower, and the cleaning pipeline (i.e., the cleaning pipe in the above patent) for cleaning also adheres to the bottom surface of the water tower. Since the cleaning pipeline usually uses a flexible hose, it is difficult to ensure the rotational consistency of the entire cleaning pipeline during rotation, that is, it cannot rotate smoothly and evenly. Especially for a relatively long flexible hose, during rotation, the inner end is the driving end and is easily driven to rotate first. The farther away from the inner end, the greater the distance, and under the resistance of the accumulated water inside the water tower, it is easy to cause the outer end to rotate lag, ultimately resulting in poor cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a support member, a support assembly and a support framework with a simple structure that can support a pipeline to ensure the rotational consistency of the pipeline in order to solve the above problems.

[0031] When an element is referred to as being “connected,” “disposed,” or “mounted” to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or may be indirectly connected, disposed, or mounted to the other element via an intervening element.

[0032] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] This embodiment provides a support assembly 10, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly 10 includes n support members 1 (n is an integer greater than or equal to 2), wherein each support member 1 has the same structure, and the support member 1 is used to be sleeved on the outer periphery of the main body of the pipeline to support the main body of the pipeline. Figure 2 As shown, the support member 1 includes a support body 11, which is in the shape of a cylindrical sleeve, has a support cavity 13 in the middle for the pipe body to extend into, and a connection seat 12 is formed at the bottom. The connection seat 12 is in the shape of a plate and is arranged at the bottom of the support body 11 along the length direction. In the length direction, a male connection part 14 is provided at one end of the connection seat 12, and a female connection part 15 is provided at the other end. The male connection part 14 and the female connection part 15 are respectively protruded from the corresponding end faces (i.e., the front and rear end faces along the length direction) of the support body 11, and a connection column 141 is formed on the male connection part 14, and a connection hole 151 matching the connection column 141 is opened on the female connection part 15.

[0035] The central axis directions of the connecting column 141 and the connecting hole 151 are perpendicular to the central axial direction of the support cavity 13, so that when the connecting column 141 and the connecting hole 151 cooperate, the left-right and front-back shaking between the two support members 1 can be limited. In other words, the support members 1 can only swing up and down, and the axis of the connecting column 141 is placed at the bottom of the entire support member 1, so that when the device moves upward, the gap between the parts is completely turned to the upper limit position. One end of the connecting column 141 is integrally connected to the male connecting part 14, and the other end is formed with an elastic buckle part 142 that can be clamped on the edge of the connecting hole 151. The entire connecting column 141 is elastic and easy to assemble during installation. After installation, the design of the elastic buckle part 142 can prevent it from falling off after assembly. An arc surface 152 is formed at one end of the female connecting part 15 away from the connecting seat 12, and an arc groove 143 matching the arc surface 152 is provided on the side of the male connecting part 14 facing the connecting column 141.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown in the figure, a groove 111 is formed on the inner wall of the support body 11 (i.e., the side facing the support cavity 13), and a weight portion 16 is installed in the groove 111 to ensure that when the support member 1 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pipeline, it can avoid displacement or floating due to being too light, and can make the pipeline fit as closely as possible to the bottom surface of the water tower (i.e., the cleaning surface). Especially when the internal pipeline is the cleaning pipe at the bottom of the water tower, by adding a weight block inside, it can prevent the cleaning pipe from being affected by the buoyancy of water and the traction force driven by the rotating gear set, resulting in the cleaning pipe not closely adhering to the bottom of the water tower and thus unable to fully suck in dirt. In actual situations, the weight portion 16 can also be integrally formed with the support body 11, that is, the inner wall of the support body 11 protrudes inward to form a weight block.

[0037] Along the length direction of the support cavity 13 on the support body 11, there is also a notch 17. Taking an object used in this embodiment as an example, this object is a cleaning pipe with bristles or suction nozzles, which is installed at the bottom of the water tower to clean the bottom surface of the water tower. The suction nozzles or bristles are arranged on the side along the main body length direction of the cleaning pipe. Therefore, when installing the support member, the main body of the cleaning pipe extends into the support cavity 13, and the bristles or suction nozzles located on the side extend out from the side through the notch 17. In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the notch 17 is an opening formed on the side of the support body 11 close to the connecting seat 12 and opened along the length direction of the support body 11. In actual situations, the notch can also be a plurality of through holes arranged along the length direction of the support body 11, and each through hole corresponds to each bristle or suction nozzle.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, a plurality of support members 1 are connected end to end to form a support assembly 10. Specifically, the male connection portion 14 of the i-th support member 1 is detachably and rotatably connected to the female connection portion 15 of the (i + 1)-th support member 1, and there is a gap between the support body 11 of the i-th support member 1 and the support body 11 of the (i + 1)-th support member 1, where i is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, adjacent two support members 1 are connected together through male and female connection buckles. Conversely, it can also be that the connection hole of the i-th support member is detachably and rotatably connected to the connection post of the (i + 1)-th support member.

[0039] A limiting portion is formed on the male connection portion 14 of the i-th support member 1 that can abut against the side surface of the female connection portion 15 of the (i + 1)-th support member 11, or a limiting portion is formed on the male connection portion 14 of the (i + 1)-th support member 1 that can abut against the side surface of the female connection portion 15 of the i-th support member 1. That is, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, a male connection part 14 of a support member 1 protrudes towards one side of another support member 1 to form a limiting part 18. The limiting part 18 has a stepped structure and can be clamped on the edge of the support body 11 of another support member 1, and the side surface abuts against the side surface of the female connection part 15 of another support member 1. Thus, when the two support members 1 are connected together, it can limit the bottom, prevent excessive space during downward movement, and can be used to prevent the support members 1 from moving laterally relative to each other at too large an angle, which may cause the internal pipeline to be flattened or unstable. There is a gap between the upper parts of the support bodies 11 of the two support members 1, which can also limit the upper part, thereby avoiding the up-and-down shaking of the support assembly during use and ensuring the stability of the support assembly. At the same time, combined with the direction setting of the above-mentioned connecting column 141, such a design can prevent the pipeline located in the support assembly from being flattened due to excessive movement of the support assembly, and at the same time ensure that it is relatively straight during installation, which is convenient for installation.

[0040] Embodiment 2:

[0041] This embodiment provides a support framework, especially a support framework for providing a supporting effect for a cleaning pipeline 40 installed at the bottom of a water tower, as Figure 5 shown. The support framework includes a head joint 20, a tail joint 30, and the support assembly 10 proposed in the above Embodiment 1. The support assembly 10 is installed between the head joint 20 and the tail joint 30. One end of the head joint 20 facing the support assembly 10 is provided with a male connection part 14 or a female connection part 15 that is the same as the support member 1 in the above Embodiment 1, and one end of the tail joint 30 facing the support assembly 10 is also provided with a female connection part 15 or a male connection part 14 that is the same as the support member 1 in the above Embodiment 1.

[0042] Specifically, the head joint 20 is used to be installed at the connection between the cleaning pipeline and the rotary drive component. The head joint 20 has a head support body 21 similar to the above support member 1. A head support cavity 23 is provided in the middle of the head support body 21, and a head connection seat 22 is provided at the bottom. One end of the head connection seat 22 facing the support member 1 is provided with a head female connection part 25 (which can also be a head male connection part), as Figure 6 shown. Taking the head female connection part 25 as an example, the head female connection part 25 is connected to the male connection part 14 on the first support member 1. A head notch 24 for the sewage suction nozzle 42 to extend out is formed on the head support body 21 along the length direction of the head support cavity 23. As Figure 9 shown, the cleaning pipeline 40 includes a main body 41 and a suction nozzle 42 (or a brush). The main body 41 is inserted into the support cavity, and the suction nozzle 42 on the side extends out from the notch 42.

[0043] Similarly, the tail joint 30 also has a similar structure, as Figure 7As shown, the tail end joint 30 has a tail end support body 31 similar to the above-mentioned support member 1. A tail end support cavity 33 is provided in the middle of the tail end support body 31, and a tail end connection seat 32 is provided at the bottom. One end of the tail end connection seat 32 facing the support member 1 is provided with a male tail end connection portion 35 (which can also be a female tail end connection portion), as Figure 7 shown. Taking the male tail end connection portion 35 as an example, the male tail end connection portion 35 is connected to the female connection portion 15 on the last support member 1. A tail end notch 34 for the sewage suction nozzle 42 to extend out is formed on the tail end support body 31 along the length direction of the tail end support cavity 33. Among them, the structures and dimensions of the female head connection portion 25 and the male tail end connection portion 35 are respectively the same as those of the female connection portion 15 and the male connection portion 14 on the support member 1. In addition, the outer diameter of one end of the support body 31 of the tail end joint 30 away from the support assembly 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of one end of the support body 31 of the tail end joint 30 close to the support assembly 10, and the outer contour of the support body 31 is conical.

[0044] Since the head end joint 20 and the tail end joint 30 have structures similar to those of the support member 1 and can be connected with the support member 1 by male-female snap connection, it is convenient for disassembly and installation.

[0045] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the cleaning pipeline at the bottom of the water tower is taken as an example for description. In actual situations, it can also be used in other scenarios where it is necessary to keep the pipeline in its original state and avoid deformation.
