Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline valve assembly technology, and more specifically to an integrated pipeline valve assembly device for use in confined spaces. Background Technology

[0002] Pipeline valve assemblies involve valves, pipes, and their accessories within a piping system. With the diversification of building functions and the continuous improvement of residential quality, the types of pipes installed in pipe shafts are increasing, including water supply pipes, drainage pipes, fire protection pipes, and heating pipes. However, in traditional construction methods, pipes and valve assemblies are typically installed piecemeal, meaning pipes, valves, and valve accessories are installed sequentially in sections, and then fixed by welding or welding components to steel brackets. This construction method is limited in confined spaces and has the following problems:

[0003] 1. Low construction efficiency: Due to the limited space, the use of various electric tools and operating equipment is restricted, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0004] 2. High process requirements: The pipelines inside the manhole are dense and complex. Without prior simulation, any error in any process may affect subsequent construction, leading to the dismantling, reassembly, and modification of pipe sections, resulting in wasted resources.

[0005] 3. Unreasonable layout: In order to ensure the operability of construction, space needs to be left between each pipe section for mechanical operation. It is impossible to consider the space for pipe insulation and subsequent operation and maintenance at the same time, resulting in the pipe layout in the manhole being generally messy and the layout being unreasonable.

[0006] 4. Difficulty in bracket installation: Due to space constraints, there is usually little remaining space for brackets after the pipes and valve assemblies are installed. It is impossible to complete the bracket installation according to the acceptance specifications, and there are even cases where the pipes are deep in the well and the brackets cannot be installed, which poses a great hidden danger during use.

[0007] Therefore, how to rationally distribute the positions of pipeline valve groups in a confined space to improve construction efficiency and enhance the convenience of maintenance and repair is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0008] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a complete integrated device for rationally distributing the positions of pipeline valve groups in confined spaces to improve construction efficiency.

[0009] The technical solution of this utility model is an integrated device for assembling pipe valves in confined spaces, comprising:

[0010] The frame is an adjustable frame structure.

[0011] The pipe support is detachable within the frame and has multiple fixing points for supporting the pipe.

[0012] Pipes for various purposes are prefabricated at bends with horizontal pipe sections L1 and vertical pipe sections L2 of different lengths;

[0013] Valve assemblies are installed sequentially on each horizontal pipe segment L1 and / or each vertical pipe segment L2 according to the purpose of the pipe, forming a horizontal pipe valve assembly unit or a vertical pipe valve assembly unit; multiple sets of horizontal pipe segments L1 and horizontal pipe valve assembly units are arranged sequentially and orderly along multiple vertically arranged fixed points of the pipe support in the vertical direction, and sequentially and orderly along multiple transversely arranged fixed points of the pipe support in the horizontal direction;

[0014] One end of each horizontal pipe section L1 or horizontal pipe valve group unit is connected to the main pipe L, and the other end is connected to the vertical pipe section L2 or vertical pipe valve group unit through an elbow pipe. The vertical pipe section L2 and the vertical pipe valve group unit are arranged in an orderly staggered manner along the horizontal direction and are respectively connected to the household water supply pipeline F.

[0015] According to the complete integrated device of this utility model, the frame is a reassembled rectangular frame structure, including C-shaped steel with adjustment holes and connectors. The connectors connect two C-shaped steels, and the size of the frame is adjusted according to the shaft size.

[0016] According to the complete integrated device of this utility model, two sets of pipe supports are installed opposite each other on both sides of the frame along its length direction.

[0017] According to the complete integrated device of this utility model, the adjustment hole is an elliptical hole.

[0018] The complete integrated device according to this utility model also includes a crossbeam, which is connected between adjacent columns of the frame and has a first pipe clamp on it capable of supporting and fixing the vertically arranged main pipe L.

[0019] According to the complete integrated device of this utility model, each of the pipe supports includes a support upright and a support crossbar connected as one piece. The support upright is detachably connected to the frame. Each of the support uprights has multiple support crossbars arranged vertically. On adjacent support uprights, the corresponding support crossbars in each row are on the same straight line in the horizontal direction.

[0020] According to the complete integrated device of this utility model, each of the supporting crossbars has a corresponding second pipe clamp, forming a fixing point for fixing the horizontal pipe section L1 and the horizontal pipe valve group unit.

[0021] According to the complete integrated device of this utility model, both the first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp are clamp assemblies.

[0022] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This utility model prefabricates and installs pipes and valve assemblies on a frame to form an integrated module. On-site installation only requires modular installation, which greatly shortens the construction cycle and improves construction efficiency.

[0024] 2. By utilizing an adjustable frame structure and C-shaped steel with adjustment holes, the frame size can be flexibly adjusted according to the shaft dimensions, allowing pipes and valve assemblies to be arranged in an orderly manner within a confined space, thus avoiding the layout chaos caused by space constraints in traditional methods.

[0025] 3. Since the pipes and valve assemblies are pre-installed on the pipe supports to form horizontal or vertical units, and are arranged in an orderly manner through the fixing points of the support crossbars, this not only facilitates daily inspection and maintenance work, but also reduces the difficulty and cost of later operation and maintenance.

[0026] 4. The outer frame is constructed using a rectangular frame structure made of C-shaped steel with adjustment holes and connectors, which increases the stability of the entire integrated device; at the same time, clamp assemblies are used as pipe clamps to ensure the tightness and reliability of pipe connections.

[0027] 5. By rationally planning the pipeline route and setting up corresponding safety measures (such as heat insulation pads), safety hazards caused by heat exchange are reduced; in addition, the modular design also facilitates the rapid location and repair of fault points.

[0028] 6. Since most of the work can be done in the factory, the manpower and material resources required for on-site construction are reduced, thereby lowering the overall project cost.

[0029] 7. Compared with the traditional messy layout, the complete integrated device provided by this utility model can make the pipeline system look neater and more orderly, and improve the overall visual effect of the building interior. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0037] Traditional construction methods typically involve installing pipes and valve assemblies piecemeal, meaning that pipes, valves, and valve accessories are installed sequentially in sections, and then fixed by welding or welding components to steel supports. This method is limited in confined spaces and presents several problems. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional methods, this invention provides the following solution.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model is an integrated device for assembling pipe valves in confined spaces. See attached document. Figure 1-3 ,include:

[0039] Frame 1 is an adjustable frame structure;

[0040] The pipe support 2 is detachable within the frame 1 and has multiple fixing points for supporting the pipe.

[0041] Pipes for various purposes are prefabricated at bends with horizontal pipe sections L1 and vertical pipe sections L2 of different lengths;

[0042] Valve assemblies are installed sequentially on each horizontal pipe segment L1 and / or each vertical pipe segment L2 according to the purpose of the pipe, forming a horizontal pipe valve assembly unit or a vertical pipe valve assembly unit; multiple sets of horizontal pipe segments L1 and horizontal pipe valve assembly units are arranged sequentially and orderly along multiple vertically arranged fixing points of the pipe support 2 in the vertical direction, and sequentially and orderly along multiple transversely arranged fixing points of the pipe support 2 in the horizontal direction;

[0043] One end of each horizontal pipe section L1 or horizontal pipe valve group unit is connected to the main pipe L, and the other end is connected to the vertical pipe section L2 or vertical pipe valve group unit through an elbow pipe. The vertical pipe section L2 and the vertical pipe valve group unit are arranged in an orderly staggered manner along the horizontal direction and are respectively connected to the household water supply pipeline F.

[0044] In the above embodiments, this utility model prefabricates and installs pipes and valve assemblies on a frame to form an integrated module. On-site installation only requires modular installation. The frame size can be flexibly adjusted according to the shaft dimensions, greatly shortening the construction cycle and improving construction efficiency. The orderly arrangement of pipes and valve assemblies in a confined space avoids the layout chaos caused by space constraints in traditional methods, facilitating the reduction of on-site installation labor costs and making it easier to locate fault points.

[0045] Specifically, see Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the frame 1 is a reassembled rectangular frame structure, including C-shaped steel with adjustment holes 11 and connectors 12. The connectors 12 connect the two C-shaped steels, and the size of the frame 1 is adjusted according to the shaft size.

[0046] This invention uses a freely adjustable prefabricated steel bracket as a frame. Pipelines and valve assemblies within the manhole are prefabricated and installed on the frame, forming an integrated module. During construction, the assembled module is placed inside the manhole, its position adjusted to align with the pre-reserved opening, the frame is then fixed in place within the manhole, and the pipeline is connected to complete the manhole pipeline construction.

[0047] The connector 12 can have various structures, such as a bolted connection. In this type of connection, the C-shaped steel typically has a web, the cross-sectional dimension of which is slightly larger than the C-shaped steel to be connected. Symmetrical through holes are provided on the web, and bolts are used to connect the two C-shaped steels into one piece. This connection method has high strength and stability.

[0048] It can also be a double connector, which typically includes a connector base plate with a boss and fasteners. The fasteners connect the two C-shaped steels by passing through the adjustment holes of the C-shaped steels and the connector base plate with the boss.

[0049] To increase the arrangement density, two sets of pipe supports 2 are installed opposite each other on both sides of the frame 1 along its length, which can arrange more pipes in an orderly manner to meet the arrangement needs of more and more pipes.

[0050] Advantageously, the adjustment hole 11 is an elliptical hole, which increases the adjustment range. It can also be a long, narrow hole, etc., which facilitates further adjustments.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, at least four columns are set on the four sides of the bottom frame of the rectangular frame, and several C-shaped steel crossbeams 4 are set between a group of columns. Various finished pipe clamps (first pipe clamps) can be installed at the punching points of the crossbeams 4 as fixing points for the main pipe L and the pipe valve group in the integrated module.

[0052] In addition, the crossarm not only strengthens the frame but also serves as a fixing point for remote transmission devices, such as IoT devices.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, each pipe support 2 includes an integrally connected support upright and support crossbar 3. The support upright is detachably connected to the frame 1. Each support upright has multiple vertically arranged support crossbars 3. On adjacent support uprights, the corresponding support crossbars 3 in each row are aligned horizontally. This ensures the neat arrangement of each pipe section.

[0054] Advantageously, each of the support crossbars 3 has a corresponding second pipe clamp, forming a fixing point for fixing the horizontal pipe section L1 and the horizontal pipe valve group unit.

[0055] In the above embodiments, both the first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp are clamp assemblies.

[0056] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "joining", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0057] In its design, this utility model utilizes BIM technology to pre-model the positions of pipes and valve assemblies, comprehensively considering factors such as insulation, maintenance, meter reading, and operation for layout, outputting 3D models and 2D drawings. The manufacturing plant then processes the pipe sections according to the drawings and completes segmented assembly. Pipes, valves, and other components all adopt modular parts and standardized designs. Combined with the layout structure of this integrated module, the pipelines and lines are clearly organized and aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, all components are replaceable, which is beneficial for later maintenance and repair, and also facilitates prefabrication and transportation.

[0058] The device includes inlet and outlet ports for each system. The inlet port connects to the main vertical pipe L inside the manhole, and the outlet port connects to the individual household water supply pipes F. The main pipe L can have...

[0059] The individual water supply pipeline F can include individual water supply pipes, greywater pipes, hot water pipes, heating pipes, etc. Heat insulation pads are installed around the pipe clamps to reduce heat exchange between the heating and hot water pipes and the steel.

[0060] The valve assembly can include a water meter Z1, a stop valve Z2, a Y-type filter Z3, a pressure reducing valve Z4, a pressure gauge Z5, a balancing valve Z6, a calorimeter Z7, a drain valve, etc., to ensure normal use at the end of the household.

[0061] In this new utility model design, the existing pipeline model within the well is comprehensively and meticulously arranged based on requirements for the opening direction of the well door, the installation distance of the water meter, operation and maintenance requirements, and remote metering requirements. This ensures that the layout meets the requirements for pipeline insulation, maintenance, meter reading, and operation. (See [reference needed]). Figure 3 .

[0062] The main branch outlets of the domestic water supply system can be equipped with shut-off valves, pressure gauges, pressure reducing valves, and Y-type filters to ensure that the pressure and water quality of water used by each household on each floor meet the specifications. Water meters are installed before the branch pipes entering each household for convenient metering; the water meters are digital remote-reading water meters.

[0063] Water meters can be installed before the branch pipes of the greywater supply system to facilitate individual metering. The water meters are digital remote water meters.

[0064] The main branch outlets of the domestic hot water system can be equipped with shut-off valves, static balancing valves, and Y-type filters to ensure that the water pressure and quality for each household on each floor meet the required standards. A heat meter is installed before each household's branch pipe for easy metering; the heat meter is digital.

[0065] The main branch outlets of the domestic heating system can be equipped with shut-off valves, static balancing valves, and Y-type filters to ensure balanced heating flow for each household on each floor, preventing uneven heating between households. A heat meter, which is digital, is installed before each household's branch pipe for easy metering.

[0066] This utility model of integrated pipeline layout for pipeline wells not only produces a reasonable construction procedure and ensures installation quality, but also improves the convenience of later operation, maintenance and repair of pipeline wells. At the same time, the reasonable use of integrated supports and hangers can greatly reduce the amount of support steel used and improve economic efficiency.

[0067] This invention pre-designs and arranges the complex pipeline layout within the manhole, reducing pipe intersections and bends, and lowering construction costs. An integrated module is fabricated using an external frame and prefabricated pipe supports. Manhole construction only requires installing this integrated module and connecting it to the inlet and outlet water pipes. This significantly saves construction time, accelerates the installation of pipelines and accessories within the manhole, and is unaffected by factors such as limited space and installation / operation space. It avoids collisions, construction failures, and operational inconveniences caused by procedural errors, saving construction resources. Furthermore, the integrated module's fabrication does not require consideration of construction / operation space, improving the convenience of later maintenance and repair of the manhole. The C-shaped steel frame design allows the integrated module to be freely anchored within the manhole, meeting acceptance specifications for support installation and reducing safety hazards during use.

[0068] The above-mentioned technical solution, after trial use and acceptance, shows that it significantly reduces the number of workers required, lowers the risk of later repairs, saves more than 40% of labor per floor, and reduces the construction period by more than 30%, thus having good economic benefits.

[0069] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0070] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
