Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tube-through steering systems, and specifically relates to a tube-through steering system. Background Technology

[0002] In chemical projects, the construction of pipe racks often plays a crucial role. Currently, pipe racks in chemical projects are usually completed early, but subsequent pipe installation work faces many challenges.

[0003] In traditional pipe threading methods, for pipes with larger diameters, manual operation using a chain hoist is primarily relied upon. This method has significant drawbacks. First, manual operation of the chain hoist is extremely labor-intensive. During the pipe threading process, multiple workers need to work together, constantly pulling the hoist and adjusting the pipe position. This not only increases the project's labor costs but can also affect work efficiency due to factors such as worker fatigue. Second, there are significant safety hazards. Operating a chain hoist requires workers to have certain skills and experience; even slight carelessness can lead to accidents, such as hoist chain breakage or pipe slippage, posing a serious threat to the workers' lives. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a pipe-through deflector, which improves work efficiency and reduces safety hazards when installing pipelines in chemical pipe corridors.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a pipe support shell, a pipe clamping groove at the top of the pipe support shell, two clearance notches on both sides of the pipe support shell, two limiting blocks hinged to both sides of the pipe support shell, four limiting blocks respectively engaging with the inner wall of the corresponding clearance notch, an arc-shaped surface on one side of each limiting block corresponding to the center of the arc surface at the bottom of the pipe clamping groove, the four limiting blocks being divided into two groups, and the two groups of limiting blocks being symmetrically distributed, a rotating base rotatably connected to the bottom of the pipe support shell, an installation slot at the bottom of the rotating base, limiting telescopic rods installed on both sides of the rotating base, and limiting clamps installed at the output ends of the two limiting telescopic rods, the two limiting clamps being symmetrically distributed.

[0006] Each of the four limiting blocks has an arc-shaped anti-slip pad installed on its arc-shaped sidewall, and the center of the arc-shaped anti-slip pad's contact surface with the pipe corresponds to the center of the arc-shaped surface of the anti-slip pad.

[0007] The pipe support housing has storage slots on both sides, and a U-shaped connecting frame is fixedly connected between every two limiting blocks. An angle-adjusting telescopic rod that drives the U-shaped connecting frame to flip is installed in the storage slot, and the output end of the angle-adjusting telescopic rod is hinged to the bottom of the U-shaped connecting frame.

[0008] The mounting bayonet has two slots on its inner wall, and the limiting clamp is engaged with the inner wall of the corresponding slot. Several anti-slip strips are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two limiting clamps, and the anti-slip strips are flush with the inner wall of the mounting bayonet.

[0009] The mounting bayonet has a clearance groove on the top side of its inner wall, and a drive motor is installed in the clearance groove. The output end of the drive motor is installed at the bottom of the pipe support housing.

[0010] The inner wall of the pipe clamping groove is provided with a detection groove, and a detection roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the detection groove. A rotation sensor for monitoring the rotation of the detection roller is installed inside the pipe support housing. Two audible and visual alarms controlled by the detection roller are installed on both sides of the pipe support housing.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the pipe is supported, fixed and rotated by the pipe support shell and the limiting block, which eliminates the need for multiple workers to work together, reducing the labor cost of the project and reducing the occurrence of work efficiency being affected by factors such as personnel fatigue. Secondly, the small number of personnel reduces safety hazards and avoids safety accidents caused by manual use of other tools, thereby reducing safety risks.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: it includes a pipe support shell 1, a pipe clamping groove 11 is provided at the top of the pipe support shell 1, two clearance notches 12 are provided on both sides of the pipe support shell 1, two limiting blocks 2 are hinged to both sides of the pipe support shell 1, the four limiting blocks 2 are respectively engaged and connected to the inner wall of the corresponding clearance notch 12, one side of the limiting block 2 is provided with an arc surface, and the arc surface corresponds to the center of the arc surface at the bottom of the pipe clamping groove 11. The four limiting blocks 2 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of limiting blocks 2 are symmetrically distributed. A rotating base 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pipe support shell 1. An installation slot 31 is provided at the bottom of the rotating base 3. Limiting telescopic rods 32 are installed on both sides of the rotating base 3. Limiting clamps 33 are installed at the output ends of the two limiting telescopic rods 32, and the two limiting clamps 33 are symmetrically distributed.

[0020] In this implementation scheme: The rotating base 3 is installed on the crossbeam of the chemical plant pipe gallery. The rotating base 3 engages with the crossbeam through the mounting slot 31. The limiting telescopic rod 32 controls the pushing and pulling of the limiting clamp 33, allowing the two limiting telescopic rods 32 to compress the recessed areas on both sides of the crossbeam, thus completing the installation and fixation between the rotating base 3 and the crossbeam. Furthermore, the installation and disassembly operations are simple and convenient, facilitating relocation for continued use, ensuring the stable use of the rotating base 3. The rotating base 3 supports the various components of the device. The pipe support housing 1 rotates on top of the rotating base 3. The pipe support housing 1 places and supports the pipe through the pipe clamping groove 11. The pipe clamping groove 11 matches the outer diameter of the pipe, preventing lateral swaying after the pipe is placed on the pipe clamping groove 11. The pipe support housing 1 provides clearance for the limiting block 2 through four clearance notches 12. The limiting block 2 can be flipped inwards and outwards. During rotation, the top opening of the pipe clamping groove 11 opens, facilitating the removal and placement of the pipe. Once the pipe is placed inside the pipe clamping groove 11, the limiting block 2 is flipped towards the pipe clamping groove 11, allowing it to enter the internal space of the groove. The limiting block 2 clamps the upper part of the pipe, ensuring its stability within the groove and preventing swaying or slippage. By controlling the rotation of the pipe support housing 1 on the rotating base 3, the pipe support housing 1 can adjust the pipe's angle, thus completing the pipe's turning operation. This eliminates the need for multiple workers, reducing labor costs and minimizing the impact of worker fatigue on work efficiency. Furthermore, the reduced number of personnel lowers safety risks by preventing accidents caused by manual use of other tools. The equipment can be operated remotely, making it simple and convenient to use.

[0021] Each of the four limiting blocks 2 has an arc-shaped anti-slip pad 22 installed on its arc-shaped sidewall. The center of the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 22 in contact with the pipe corresponds to the center of the arc-shaped surface of the anti-slip pad 22. When the limiting block 2 flips inward toward the pipe clamping groove 11, the limiting block 2 drives the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 22 to contact the pipe, thereby increasing the frictional resistance between the limiting block 2 and the pipe, further improving the stability of the pipe clamping and fixing, and preventing the pipe from shaking or sliding off.

[0022] The pipe support housing 1 has storage slots 13 on both sides. A U-shaped connecting frame 21 is fixedly connected between every two limit blocks 2. An angle-adjusting telescopic rod 23 that drives the U-shaped connecting frame 21 to flip is installed in the storage slot 13. The output end of the angle-adjusting telescopic rod 23 is hinged to the bottom of the U-shaped connecting frame 21. The storage slot 13 makes way for the angle-adjusting telescopic rod 23 so that the angle-adjusting telescopic rod 23 can always push and pull the U-shaped connecting frame 21 at an inclined angle to prevent motion interference. By pushing and pulling the U-shaped connecting frame 21, the angle-adjusting telescopic rod 23 can drive the two limit blocks 2 to flip and adjust at the same time, thereby completing the switching between the fixed and unlocked states of the pipe.

[0023] Two slots 311 are provided on the inner wall of the mounting bayonet 31. The limiting clamp 33 is engaged with the inner wall of the corresponding slot 311. Several anti-slip strips 331 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two limiting clamps 33. The anti-slip strips 331 are flush with the inner wall of the mounting bayonet 31. The slots 311 make way for the limiting clamps 33 and the anti-slip strips 331, so that when the limiting clamps 33 and the anti-slip strips 331 are not involved in the device fixing work, the limiting clamps 33 and the anti-slip strips 331 will not affect the engagement between the mounting bayonet 31 and the pipe rack beam, avoiding interference and movement interference. The anti-slip strips 331 increase the frictional resistance between the limiting clamps 33 and the beam, improving the stability of the rotating base 3 during use.

[0024] A clearance groove 312 is provided on the top side of the inner wall of the mounting bayonet 31. A drive motor 34 is installed in the clearance groove 312. The output end of the drive motor 34 is installed at the bottom of the pipe support housing 1. The clearance groove 312 accommodates the drive motor 34 so that the drive motor 34 is not affected by the crossbeam. The output end of the drive motor 34 passes through the top of the rotating base 3 and drives the pipe support housing 1 to rotate, thereby completing the turning operation of the pipe.

[0025] A detection groove 111 is provided on the bottom side of the inner wall of the pipe clamping groove 11. A detection roller 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the detection groove 111. A rotation sensor for monitoring the rotation of the detection roller 4 is installed inside the pipe support housing 1. Two audible and visual alarms 41 controlled by the detection roller 4 are installed on both sides of the pipe support housing 1. The detection groove 111 accommodates the detection roller 4 to prevent the detection roller 4 from protruding too much and affecting the connection between the pipe and the pipe clamping groove 11. If the pipe slips during clamping and turning, the pipe can drive the detection roller 4 to rotate, so that the rotation sensor inside the pipe support housing 1 can detect it in time and transmit the information of pipe slippage to the four audible and visual alarms 41. The audible and visual alarms 41 can then sound an alarm to remind the operators to pay attention to avoidance and correction, so as to prevent the pipe from slipping and injuring people, and further reduce safety hazards.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the rotating base 3 is clamped onto the crossbeam of the pipe gallery. The limiting telescopic rod 32 pushes the limiting clamp 33, allowing the rotating base 3 to be fixed to the crossbeam. The pipe is placed in the clamping groove 11. The angle adjusting telescopic rod 23 pushes the U-shaped connecting frame 21, causing the U-shaped connecting frame 21 to simultaneously drive the two limiting blocks 2 to complete the flipping adjustment. The limiting blocks 2 drive the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 22 to contact the pipe, clamping the upper part of the pipe and keeping it stable in the clamping groove 11, preventing the pipe from shaking or sliding. By controlling the rotation of the pipe support shell 1, the pipe support shell 1 can drive the pipe to complete the angle adjustment, thereby completing the pipe turning operation. This eliminates the need for multiple workers to work together, reducing the project's labor costs and minimizing the impact of personnel fatigue on work efficiency.
