[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe connection, in particular to a splicable pipe. Background Art
[0002] A photovoltaic power station uses sunlight to generate electricity. It primarily consists of photovoltaic panels, inverters, mounting brackets, and cables. Through the photovoltaic effect, solar energy is converted into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter and ultimately fed into the power grid for use. PV power stations are clean, environmentally friendly, and renewable, making them a key area of future energy development.
[0003] Currently, most photovoltaic power station support pipes are cut on-site and welded together to suit the site's needs. This not only increases construction time and reduces efficiency, but also creates welds on the pipes, resulting in an unsightly and uneven surface. Therefore, finding a pipe that is easy to connect and has a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface is a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a splicable pipe material, which solves the technical problem that the support pipes of the current photovoltaic power station are mostly cut on site and welded according to the on-site conditions, which not only takes a long time to construct and affects the working efficiency, but also causes welds on the pipes, resulting in poor appearance.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a splicable pipe material, comprising:
[0006] A first pipe, one end of which is provided with a connecting rod, and an end of the connecting rod facing away from the first pipe is provided with a limiting member;
[0007] A second tube is provided with a clamping assembly therein, the clamping assembly including a hook and an elastic member, the hook being rotatably provided on the inner wall of the second tube, and the two ends of the elastic member being connected to the hook and the inner wall of the second tube respectively;
[0008] Wherein, after the first pipe is connected to the second pipe, the limiting member extends into the interior of the second pipe and is engaged with the hook.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping assembly further includes two ear plates, the ear plates are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the second tube, the two ear plates are arranged in parallel, and the hook is rotatably arranged between the two ear plates.
[0010] Preferably, the clamping assembly further includes a bolt and a nut, the bolt passes through the hook and the two ear plates, the nut is threadedly connected to the bolt, and the hook is rotatably arranged between the two ear plates through the bolt.
[0011] Preferably, the hook includes a connecting portion and a clamping portion, the connecting portion is connected to the clamping portion, the connecting portion and the clamping portion are perpendicular to each other, the connecting portion is rotatably arranged between the two ear plates through the bolt, and the clamping portion is used to clamp with the limiting member.
[0012] Preferably, the elastic member is located below the two ear plates, and the elastic member is connected to the connecting portion of the hook.
[0013] Preferably, the cross section of the limiting member is conical.
[0014] Preferably, one end of the first tube provided with the connecting rod is a closed end, and the connecting rod extends along the axial direction of the first tube.
[0015] Preferably, there are at least two groups of the clamping components.
[0016] Preferably, the number of the clamping assemblies is four, and the four groups of the clamping assemblies are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second pipe.
[0017] Compared with the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a splicable pipe material. After the first pipe and the second pipe are connected, the connecting rod at one end of the first pipe enters the interior of the second pipe. The limiter on the connecting rod drives the hook to rotate, and the elastic member is compressed.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0025] The core purpose of the present invention is to provide a splicable pipe material, wherein a first pipe material 10 and a second pipe material 20 are connected by a hook 21 and a limiter 12, which is easy to operate and has a smooth and beautiful pipe surface.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The splicable pipe materials provided by the utility model include a first pipe 10 and a second pipe 20; a connecting rod 11 is provided at one end of the first pipe 10, and a limit member 12 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 11 facing away from the first pipe 10; a clamping assembly is provided inside the second pipe 20, and the clamping assembly includes a hook 21 and an elastic member 22, the hook 21 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the second pipe 20, and the two ends of the elastic member 22 are respectively connected to the hook 21 and the inner wall of the second pipe 20; wherein, after the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20 are docked, the limit member 12 extends into the interior of the second pipe 20 and is clamped with the hook 21.
[0027] During use, the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 are docked, and the connecting rod 11 at one end of the first tube 10 enters the interior of the second tube 20. The stopper 12 on the connecting rod 11 drives the hook 21 to rotate, and the elastic member 22 is compressed. As the stopper 12 moves, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 drives the hook 21 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset, finally causing the stopper 12 to engage with the hook 21, thus achieving the connection between the first tube 10 and the second tube 20. The elastic member 22 applies a force to the hook 21, thereby reliably connecting the stopper 12 and the hook 21.
[0028] With this arrangement, the first and second pipes 10, 20 are connected via the snap-fit engagement between the stopper 12 and the hook 21, making operation easy, reducing pipe splicing time and improving construction efficiency. The first and second pipes 10, 20 are also relatively easy to disassemble after connection, facilitating their reuse. Because the first and second pipes 10, 20 are not connected by welding, no weld seam is formed at the junction of the first and second pipes 10, 20, resulting in a smoother pipe surface and improved overall aesthetics.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clamping assembly further includes two lugs 23, which are fixed to the inner wall of the second tube 20. The two lugs 23 are arranged in parallel, and the hook 21 is rotatably arranged between the two lugs 23. Specifically, the lugs 23 are perpendicular to the inner wall of the second tube 20, the two lugs 23 are spaced apart, and the hook 21 is rotatably arranged between the two lugs 23.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clamping assembly also includes a bolt 24 and a nut 25. The bolt 24 passes through the hook 21 and the two lugs 23. The nut 25 is threadedly connected to the bolt 24. The hook 21 is rotatably arranged between the two lugs 23 through the bolt 24. The bolt 24 first passes through one of the lugs 23, then passes through the hook 21, and finally passes through the other lug 23. One end of the bolt 24 passing through the other lug 23 is threadedly connected to the nut 25. The nut 25 is used to limit the bolt 24 to prevent it from falling off the lug 23.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The hook 21 includes a connecting portion 211 and a holding portion 212. The connecting portion 211 is connected to the holding portion 212, and the connecting portion 211 and the holding portion 212 are perpendicular to each other. The connecting portion 211 is rotatably disposed between the two ear plates 23 via a bolt 24. The holding portion 212 is used to engage with the limiting member 12. The holding portion 212 faces the middle of the second tube 20. After the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 are docked, the connecting rod 11 at one end of the first tube 10 enters the interior of the second tube 20. The limiting member 12 on the connecting rod 11 drives the connecting portion 211 to rotate, and the elastic member 22 is compressed. As the limiting member 12 moves, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 drives the connecting portion 211 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset, finally engaging the limiting member 12 with the holding portion 212, thereby achieving the connection between the first tube 10 and the second tube 20.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The elastic member 22 is located below the two ear plates 23. The elastic member 22 is connected to the connecting portion 211 of the hook 21. The elastic member 22 is located at one end of the connecting portion 211 close to the clamping portion 212. Through such a setting, the length of the force arm can be increased, thereby reducing the force required for the connecting portion 211 to rotate. The limit member 12 on the connecting rod 11 can easily drive the connecting portion 211 to rotate, which is convenient to use.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The cross section of the stopper 12 is tapered. This arrangement allows the end of the stopper 12 away from the connecting rod 11 to pass easily through the hook 21. The side of the stopper 12 connected to the connecting rod 11 is the bottom surface of the stopper 12. The retaining portion 212 of the hook 21 engages with the bottom surface of the stopper 12. The large bottom surface area of the stopper 12 increases the contact area between the stopper 12 and the retaining portion 212, ensuring a reliable connection. The cross section of the stopper 12 can also be semicircular, that is, the stopper 12 has a hemispherical structure.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first tube 10 is provided with a connecting rod 11 at one end which is a closed end. The connecting rod 11 extends along the axial direction of the first tube 10. After the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 are docked, the holding portion 212 of the hook 21 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the limiter 12.
[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 11 can be fixed to one end of the first tube 10 by means of a threaded connection. Such a setting can not only achieve a reliable connection between the connecting rod 11 and the first tube 10, but also adjust the length of the connecting rod 11 extending out of the first tube 10, thereby ensuring that after the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 are docked, the limiter 12 and the holding portion 212 of the hook 21 can be effectively engaged.
[0036] Preferably, the clamping assembly is at least two groups. In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The number of clamping assemblies is four, and the four sets of clamping assemblies are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second tube 20. After the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 are docked, the clamping portions 212 of the four hooks 21 in the four sets of clamping assemblies engage with the bottom surface of the limiter 12. The four clamping portions 212 are evenly distributed around the limiter 12, thereby achieving reliable fixation of the first tube 10 and the second tube 20. In other embodiments, the number of clamping assemblies can also be three.
[0037] It should be noted that the cross-sections of the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 in the embodiment of the present invention are both rectangular, and the same is also applicable when the cross-sections of the first tube 10 and the second tube 20 are circular.
[0038] The utility model provides a splicable pipe material. After the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20 are connected, the connecting rod 11 at one end of the first pipe 10 enters the interior of the second pipe 20. The limiter 12 on the connecting rod 11 drives the hook 21 to rotate, and the elastic member 22 is compressed. As the limiter 12 moves, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 drives the hook 21 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset, and finally the limiter 12 and the hook 21 are engaged, thereby achieving the connection between the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20. The first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20 are connected by the engagement between the limiter 12 and the hook 21. The operation is convenient, which can reduce the working time of pipe splicing and improve construction efficiency. The first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20 are also relatively easy to disassemble after being connected, which facilitates the reuse of the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20. Moreover, the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20 are not connected by welding, and no weld is generated at the connection between the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 20, thereby making the pipe surface smoother and improving the overall aesthetics.
[0039] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.
[0040] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
