Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipe production, in particular to a supporting mechanism for pipe production. Background Art

[0002] In the pipe production line, after the billet is rolled into a pipe, it needs to undergo processes such as heat treatment, straightening, flaw detection, inspection, and finished product storage. Between two adjacent processes, the steel pipes are stored in the cargo space waiting for production. In order to ensure the safety of the cargo space, reinforced steel plates are installed at the corners of the cargo space to prevent the pipes from sliding and falling due to external force or vibration.

[0003] Although the reinforced steel plate can enhance the safety of the cargo space, due to the presence of the reinforced steel plate, when the pipe is placed on the cargo space, especially when the pipe is placed at the corner of the cargo space, it will come into direct contact with the cross-section of the reinforced steel plate and generate friction, which can easily cause scratches on the surface of the pipe. In addition, the reinforced steel plate is usually a rigid structure. When the pipe produces slight displacement or pressure during storage, it is easy to cause local dents on the surface of the pipe, resulting in scratches of varying depths on the surface of the pipe, affecting the appearance and performance of the pipe. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a support mechanism for pipe production to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] A support mechanism for pipe production is provided, comprising several groups of support components, each group of support components comprising two support base plates, both of which are provided with support pads, each of which is provided with an installation groove body, each of which is detachably connected to a support clamping plate, each of which is provided with a receiving groove inside, each of which is detachably connected to a support pad block inside.

[0006] Furthermore, the two support bases are each provided with a plurality of mounting holes, the support pad is provided with through holes around the support pad, and the support pad is provided with fastening bolts for passing through the mounting holes and the through holes. The plurality of mounting holes and the through holes provide mounting positions for the mutual fixation of the support base and the support pad. The fastening bolts pass through the mounting holes and the through holes, so that the support pad can be firmly fixed to the support base, so that the fixed position of the support pad can be adjusted, that is, by selecting different combinations of mounting holes and through holes, the relative position of the support pad on the support base is adjusted, thereby changing the spacing between the two support pads. As the support base is adjusted, the distance between the two support pads also changes accordingly, so that pipes of different diameters can be reasonably supported when placed. For smaller pipes, this ensures that the pipes are evenly stressed during storage and support, reduces damage, and improves the applicability and ease of operation of the production line.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper part of the support pad is detachably connected to a support clip via a number of fixing bolts, ensuring that the support clip can be firmly mounted on the support pad during use, avoiding displacement or loosening of the clip due to external force. At the same time, the detachability of the bolt connection facilitates subsequent maintenance, inspection and replacement of the support clip.

[0008] Furthermore, protective plates are provided on both sides of the support pad seat. The protective plates are provided on both sides of the upper portion of the support pad. The height of the protective plates is less than that of the support pad. In order to provide additional protection for both sides of the support pad, the protective plates prevent the support pad from falling off from the internal engaging position of the clamping plate due to external impact or lateral force. The protective plates form a protective area around the support pad, limiting its left and right displacement and preventing it from falling off due to collision.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper portion of the support block is rounded on all sides. This arc-shaped cross-section increases the contact area between the pipe and the supporting surface, dispersing localized pressure on the pipe, particularly preventing dents on thin-walled pipes. This arc-shaped design, combined with the flexibility and impact resistance of polyurethane, better accommodates the pipe's shape and support requirements, ensuring safety and surface integrity during production and storage.

[0010] Furthermore, the support pad is made of polyurethane material. Using polyurethane material to make the support pad can better protect the surface of the pipe. Because polyurethane is relatively soft and elastic, the area where the pipe contacts the pad will not produce hard contact when placed, thereby reducing scratches, dents and other problems on the surface of the pipe. It is suitable for pipes with high surface quality requirements, ensuring that the surface of the pipe remains smooth during storage or transportation.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] Through the support pad, the pressure of the contact between the pipe surface and the steel plate is effectively dispersed, avoiding scratches. The support pad is made of a softer material, which reduces the pressure on the pipe surface, thereby avoiding dents and scratches. At the same time, the receiving groove in the pallet is detachable and connected to the support pad, which is convenient for the later maintenance and replacement of the support pad, extending the service life of the device. The support pad can effectively isolate the pipe from direct contact with the side of the steel plate, making the pipe surface smooth and scratch-free, increasing the contact area between the pipe and the cargo position, avoiding dents of the pipe, and the support pad is quick to remove and easy to replace during use.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a support mechanism for pipe production includes several groups of support assemblies 100, each group of support assemblies 100 includes two support base plates 1, and the two support base plates 1 are each provided with a support pad 2, and the support pad 2 is each provided with a mounting groove 21. The mounting groove 21 provides a detachable mounting method for the support card 3, and the mounting groove 21 allows the support card 3 to be conveniently disassembled and assembled as needed, thereby achieving more flexible use and maintenance. The support card 3 is detachably connected in the mounting groove 21, and the support card 3 is internally provided with a receiving groove 31. The receiving groove 31 is internally provided with a support pad 4, and the support pad 4 is the part that directly contacts the pipe. Its material and structural design effectively prevent The direct friction and extrusion between the pipe and the support pad 2 are stopped. Through the support pad 4, the pipe is stored in the storage area after cooling. The pressure of the pipe surface in contact with the steel plate is effectively dispersed, avoiding scratches. The support pad 4 is made of a soft material or has a certain elasticity, so it can reduce the pressure on the pipe surface, thereby avoiding dents and scratches. At the same time, the accommodating groove 31 in the support card 3 can be detachably connected to the support pad 4, which is convenient for the later maintenance and replacement of the support pad 4, extending the service life of the device, and can effectively isolate the pipe from direct contact with the side of the steel plate, making the pipe surface smooth and scratch-free; increasing the contact area between the pipe and the cargo position, avoiding dents of the pipe, and the support pad 4 is quick to remove and easy to replace during use.

[0023] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, several mounting holes 11 are provided on both support base plates 1, and through holes 22 are provided around the support pad seat 2. The support pad seat 2 is provided with fastening bolts 5 for passing through the mounting holes 11 and the through holes 22. The several mounting holes 11 and the through holes 22 provide mounting positions for fixing the support base plate 1 and the support pad seat 2 to each other. The fastening bolts 5 pass through the mounting holes 11 and the through holes 22, so that the support pad 2 can be firmly fixed on the support base plate 1, so that the fixed position of the support pad 2 can be adjusted, that is, by selecting different combinations of the mounting holes 11 and the through holes 22, the relative position of the support pad 2 on the support base plate 1 is adjusted, thereby changing the spacing between the two support pads 4. As the support base plate 1 is adjusted, the distance between the two support pads 4 also changes accordingly, so that pipes of different diameters can be reasonably supported when placed. For smaller pipes, the support pads 4 can be adjusted to a close position to ensure that the pipes will not slide or tilt during storage; and for larger pipes, the support pads 4 can be adjusted to increase the distance to ensure the stability and safety of the pipes, thereby ensuring that the pipes are evenly stressed during storage and support, reducing damage, and improving the applicability and ease of operation of the production line.

[0024] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper part of the support pad 2 is detachably connected to the support clip 3 by a number of fixing bolts 23, ensuring that the support clip 3 can be firmly installed on the support pad 2 during use to avoid displacement or loosening of the clip due to external force. At the same time, the detachability of the bolt connection provides convenience for subsequent maintenance, inspection and replacement of the support clip 3.

[0025] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, protective plates 6 are further provided on both sides of the support cushion seat 2. The protective plates 6 are provided on both sides of the upper portion of the support cushion block 4. The height of the protective plates 6 is less than that of the support cushion block 4. In order to provide additional protection for both sides of the support cushion block 4, the protective plates 6 prevent the support cushion block 4 from falling off from the internal engaging position of the support clamping plate 3 due to external impact or lateral force. The protective plates 6 form a protective area around the support cushion block 4, limiting its left and right displacement and preventing it from falling off due to collision.

[0026] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, arc portions 41 are provided around the upper part of the support pad 4. The upper part of the support pad 4 is designed to have an arc-shaped cross-section in order to increase the contact area between the pipe and the supporting surface, thereby dispersing the local pressure on the pipe, especially for thin-walled pipes, to avoid the occurrence of dents. The arc-shaped design combined with the flexibility and impact resistance of the polyurethane material better adapts to the shape characteristics and support requirements of the pipe, and ensures the safety and surface integrity of the pipe during production and storage.

[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support pad 4 is made of polyurethane. Using polyurethane to make the support pad 4 can better protect the pipe surface. Because polyurethane is relatively soft and elastic, the pipe does not have hard contact with the pad during placement, thereby reducing scratches and dents on the pipe surface. This material is particularly suitable for pipes with high surface quality requirements, ensuring that the pipe surface remains smooth during storage or transportation.
