Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cable pipe expansion support device, belonging to the field of power pipeline laying and dredging technology. Background Technology

[0002] During the laying of cables in pre-buried conduits, the conduits are often flattened or deformed, preventing the cable from passing through. Sometimes, the gap is too narrow for the traction steel rope to pass through smoothly, but the cable is easily crushed or scratched during traction, causing insulation damage and affecting safe operation and service life. When cable conduits are flattened or deformed, the usual method is to excavate the ground and replace the damaged conduit. This excavation process damages the road surface, greenery, and traffic, which is not only labor-intensive but also affects the progress of construction and maintenance, causing inconvenience to people's lives and production. In severe cases, it can disrupt normal power supply and cause serious economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0032] See attached document Figure 4 and 5The center of the pipe inserter 2 is on the same axis as the center of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 513, the fixed ring 515 and the sliding ring 516.

[0033] The method of using this utility model is as follows: The utility model is placed inside the cable conduit 1. The conduit puller 2 on the cable tray 10 is passed through the conduit puller bracket 11 and lowered into the cable conduit 1, connecting to the connector at the rear end of the pipe sliding trolley 3. The conduit puller 2 (cable puller) is a specialized tool for traction and cable pulling in this field, made of fiberglass, and used for traction and guidance in pipes. The operator uses the conduit puller 2 to drive the pipe sliding trolley 3 through the cable conduit 1. Ground personnel use the camera 4 equipped on the pipe sliding trolley 3 to locate the damaged area of ​​the cable conduit 1, and then contact underground personnel to send the pipe electric hydraulic expander 5 to the damaged area of ​​the cable conduit 1. Underground personnel use a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 513 to drive the expansion arm 52 to repair and expand the deformed pipe. Simultaneously, the memory steel strip 9 opens to support the already expanded pipe, preventing further deformation. Subsequently, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder 513 drives the expansion arm 52 to retract, separating the expansion arm 52 from the memory steel strip 9, thus achieving the purpose of unblocking the cable conduit.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, the wheel 32 is equipped with a telescopic device, which allows the pipe sliding trolley 3 to slide close to the pipe wall without getting stuck due to pipe deformation. For example, the telescopic device is a telescopic spring with a stroke of 7cm. The wheel 32 is set on the outer ring of the bearing, and the inner ring of the bearing is fitted onto the axle 34. Multiple sets of telescopic springs are provided between the inner ring of the bearing and the axle 34. The elastic force of the telescopic springs allows the pipe sliding trolley 3 to slide close to the pipe wall, allowing the pipe sliding trolley 3 to be suspended inside the pipe, which facilitates the pipe electric hydraulic expander 5 to play a greater role and allows it to slide smoothly even when encountering pipe joints or slight deformation. The wheel 32 is made of nylon and is arranged at an angle perpendicular to the contact pipe wall.

[0035] Based on the inner diameter of the cable conduit, a high-toughness, memory steel strip is selected. After inputting the data, the memory steel strip is plastically shaped into a corresponding arc. It is then temporarily fixed on a pipe electro-hydraulic expander. As the expander arm expands, it opens up the deformed pipe, and simultaneously, the memory steel strip opens and restores its pre-set, memory shape, adhering tightly to the cable conduit wall to function as a support. The memory steel strip is a known technology in the field; for example, a non-oriented silicon steel coil manufactured by Shougang Group, model 20SW1200, which is a cold-rolled non-oriented silicon steel coil.

[0036] The remote control receiver 6 has a built-in wireless remote terminal, which can receive wireless signals inside the pipeline and maintain smooth communication with the computer display screen 7 and the remote control 8 on the ground to achieve remote control.

[0037] The camera 4 is an infrared night vision camera. The camera 4 can transmit images in all directions at 360°, and the resolution of the captured images is ≥1080P.

[0038] The drive mechanism 51 of the pipeline electric hydraulic expander 5 is powered by hydraulic pressure. The expansion diameter of the expansion arm 52 is ≥18cm. The drive mechanism 51 includes a motor 511, a hydraulic pump 512, and a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 513. In this embodiment, the motor 511 is a brushless DC motor with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, which can provide power for up to 10 hours. The output voltage is 24±0.3V and the maximum torque is ≥15Nm.

[0039] The hydraulic pump 512 is an oil pressure pump. An outer ring 5163 is provided on the inner ring 5161 and can slide freely on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 514. The outer ring 5163 is provided with a rotating shaft and connected to the first bracket 523. The first bracket 523 is connected to the upper arm 521, and the second bracket 524 is connected to the lower arm 522.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are 6 pairs of expansion arms 52, totaling 12 arms, evenly arranged between the fixed ring 515 and the sliding ring 516, like the frame of an umbrella. At this time, the pipe trolley 3 is located in the middle of the pipe, facilitating the opening of the expansion arms 52. The expansion arms 52 are made of hard round steel, with the large arm 521 and the small arm 522 having a diameter of 3mm and a length of 30cm. The first bracket 523 and the second bracket 524 have a diameter of 3mm and a length of 15cm, utilizing the lever principle and powered by a hydraulic pump 512.

[0041] The front ends of the large arms 521 of the six pairs of expansion arms 52 are hinged circumferentially to the outer ring of the fixing ring 515, and the rear ends of the brackets 523 of the six pairs of expansion arms 52 are hinged circumferentially to the outer ring of the outer ring 5163. After the six pairs of expansion arms 52 are opened, they can effectively repair the deformed pipe, while the memory steel strip 9 unfolds into a ring shape to support the opened pipe of the cable pipe 1 and prevent the pipe from deforming again.
