[0006] (2) The support and hanger is made of various types of steel materials through on-site cutting, grinding and welding, and then is installed as a whole or in parts.

Moreover, a large amount of welding operation is required for on-site manufacturing of the support and hanger, which increases the probability of fire.
[0007] (3) The traditional support and hanger adjustment generally needs to be removed as a whole, and the support and hanger needs to be cut as a whole. The removed support and hanger is often scrapped as a whole due to the difficulty of cutting, and the recycling rate of the support and hanger is very low, which does not meet the development trend of green building and green construction. The later adjustment also faces the problems of re-opening the hole and pre-buried steel plate base, etc., which affects the building structure and appearance.

The fastening method of the concave channel steel 205 on the vertical steel 201 after adjusting the X-axis horizontal direction can also be other existing technologies, which is not the technical solution of the present application, so it is not described here)
[0041] The concave channel steel 205 adopts a semi-enclosed structure, the concave channel steel 205 is connected with the horizontal support plate 208 through two support screws 207, and the two support screws 207 are connected with the horizontal support plate 208 and the concave channel steel 205 through upper and lower stop nuts 215 and 216 respectively; the two ends of the concave channel steel 205 are blocked by limiting blocks 212 for limiting the movement range of the two support screws 207.

[0050] Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic view of the application of an adjustable pipe support device proposed in the embodiment.
[0051] As shown in , the application method of the embodiment is as follows:
[0052] Step S1: first, the operator selects the position where the pipe material 100 needs to be installed in the pipe well, that is, the transverse position in the X-axis direction is determined first; and then the pipe support device 200 is installed.
[0053] First, the mounting plate 203 with the vertical adjusting block 204 is installed on the well wall of the pipe well, and then the two groups of waist-shaped holes 202 at the two ends of the vertical steel 201 are fastened to the well wall of the pipe well by penetrating the vertical adjusting block 204 on the mounting plate 203 through bolts. (When the installation environment needs to be installed obliquely, the waist-shaped hole 202 can be adjusted obliquely according to the installation position of the vertical adjusting block 204, so it can adapt to different installation scenes and has a wider application range.
[0054] Step S2: the waist-shaped hole 202 in the middle section of the vertical steel 201 is connected with the concave channel steel 205 through a bolt, the concave channel steel 205 can be adjusted in the Z-axis direction on the waist-shaped hole 202 in the middle section of the vertical steel 201, and the concave channel steel 205 after displacement is fastened to the vertical steel 201 through a bolt, so as to realize coarse adjustment.
[0055] Step S3: two support screws 207 are installed on the concave channel steel 205, and the longitudinal adjustment or fastening of the support screw 207 in the Y-axis direction in the concave channel steel 205 is realized by adjusting the lower block nut 216 of the support screw 207.
[0056] Step S4: A pipe support bracket is connected to the horizontal support plate 208 via a T-shaped support plate 209 to increase the height and provide stable support. The pipe support bracket is used to support the pipe 100. The pipe support bracket includes an upper support 211 and a lower support 210; the upper support 211 and the lower support 210 have the same structure and are symmetrically connected. Both include a semicircular support plate with ears on both sides of the support plate. When the upper support 211 and the lower support 210 are connected, a space is formed that is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 100. After the upper support 211 and the lower support 210 are connected, they are connected using fasteners via the ears on both sides. The lower support 210 is fixedly installed on the T-shaped support plate 209, and its semicircular structure support plate is open upward. The pipe 100 is placed on the opening, and then the upper support 211 is installed. The semicircular structure support plate of the upper support 211 is open downward. After the upper support 211 and the lower support 210 are connected, the ears on both sides of the support plates corresponding to the upper support 211 and the lower support 210 are fastened with bolts to lock the pipe 100.
[0057] The adjacent pipe support device is observed horizontally through the spirit level on the upper support 211. When it is found that the spirit level shows a tilted installation, the support screw 207 can be connected to the horizontal support plate 208 with the upper stop nut 215. By adjusting the upper stop nut 215, the height of the horizontal support plate 208 in the Z-axis direction on the support screw 207 can be fine-tuned, thereby achieving horizontal installation of the pipe 100.
[0058] During the installation process, the operator can observe the infrared ranging device 214 at the bottom of the concave channel steel 205 in real time, so as to adjust the bolt positions on each waist-shaped hole at any time when there is a gap in the installation, thereby achieving accurate installation.
[0059] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows:
[0060] This embodiment uses waist-shaped holes at both ends of the vertical steel to achieve coarse adjustment of its installation position in the Z-axis direction during installation; the waist-shaped holes in the middle section of the vertical steel are used to coarsely adjust the overall height of the concave channel steel. By displacing the two sets of support screws within the concave channel steel, the horizontal support plate can be longitudinally adjusted in the Y-axis direction, which can also accommodate the sizes of horizontal support plates of different models; during installation, the X-axis direction can be selected by determining the required installation position, that is, after determining the X direction, the Y-axis and Z-axis adjustments are made to achieve precise installation. An infrared ranging device is installed at the bottom of the concave steel to automatically detect the distance between the ground and the bracket, further achieving high-precision installation.
[0061] The utility model can alleviate the influence of on-site manufacturing conditions and construction period on support and hanger adjustment, avoid fire safety hazards of on-site operation, avoid the removal operation of traditional support and hanger adjustment, reduce the rework amount and engineering cost of support and hanger installation, and meet the development trend of green building and green construction.
