AI Technical Summary
Existing steam pipelines are prone to detachment during thermal displacement, leading to detachment of the π-type bend support, increased vibration and stress at welded joints, which affects the normal operation of the pipeline.
An adjustable support is adopted, including a top plate, a bottom plate, and an adjusting rod. Utilizing a damping spring and a protective cylinder structure, the distance between the adjusting rod and the top plate is adjustable through threaded connection and sliding engagement, adapting to pipeline thermal displacement, ensuring tight contact, distributing load, and preventing gaping.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to pipeline support technical field, concretely relates to adjustable support of preventing pipeline from emptying. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steam is generally used as heat source in chemical plant, which is used for heating, humidifying, generating power or as driving source. The steam is transported by pipeline, and the steam has high temperature. During the transportation, the pipeline will expand or shrink due to the temperature change, thus causing thermal displacement of the pipeline.
[0003] At present, the most economical and reliable compensation mode for steam pipeline compensation design is still natural compensation, and the compensation is achieved by deflection of the pipeline in the curved pipe section to compensate the thermal displacement.
[0004] In actual arrangement, the plane π type bend is mainly used. Due to the limitation of plane space, the space vertical π type bend arrangement is more common.
[0005] The vertical π type bend can solve the problem of thermal compensation, but also brings many problems. When installed at ambient temperature, the pipe support of the pipeline is attached to the structure support, and the vertical load is well shared. When operated at operating temperature, the thermal displacement is caused due to the temperature change, which leads to local pipe support emptying of the π type bend, causes transverse vibration of the π type bend, increases the stress at the welded joint of the pipeline, and may be broken in severe cases, which seriously affects the normal operation of the pipeline. Therefore, it is very important to take reasonable anti-emptying measures for the steam pipeline. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0019] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described below in conjunction with embodiments, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-2 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0021] The adjustable support for preventing pipe from emptying includes a top plate 1, a bottom plate 5 and an adjusting rod 3, the bottom plate 5 is provided with a threaded hole, the adjusting rod 3 is the same size with the threaded hole and is provided with a matching thread, and the two are threaded connected. The adjusting rod 3 is connected with a damping spring 2 at the end away from the bottom plate 5, the damping spring 2 and the adjusting rod 3 pass through the bottom of the bottom plate 5 and contact with the top plate 1, the damping spring 2 and the adjusting rod 3 between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 5 are partially sleeved with a protective cylinder 4, the inner wall of the protective cylinder 4 is smooth and is divided into an inner cylinder 41 and an outer cylinder 42, the inner wall of the outer cylinder 42 is provided with a sliding rail 421 and a transverse clamping groove 422, the inner cylinder 41 is provided with a clamping block, the clamping block is clamped in the sliding rail 421, and the two are slidingly connected, and the inner cylinder 41 is welded with the top plate 1 for fixation; when the clamping block is clamped in the transverse clamping groove 422, the inner cylinder 41 and the outer cylinder 42 are relatively fixed. The protective cylinder 4 and the adjusting rod 3 can relatively move up and down, but the protective cylinder 4 limits the transverse movement of the adjusting rod 3 to ensure the stability of the device, and the protective cylinder 4 can also share the load of the adjusting rod 3, so that the service life of the device is longer. The damping spring 2 is arranged between the adjusting rod 3 and the top plate 1 for connection, when the pipe 9 generates thermal displacement, the protective cylinder 4 can better cooperate with the pipe 9 to make the top plate 1 and the pipe support 8 form close contact. The bottom plate 5 is fixed on the support plate 6 through fixing bolts 7 on both sides, so as to further disperse the load of the whole support and the pipe 9. The distance between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 5 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 3.
[0022] The number of the transverse clamping grooves 422 and the distance between adjacent transverse clamping grooves 422 can be set according to actual conditions.
[0023] Use method:
[0024] The adjustable support is made of common carbon steel or low alloy material by simple processing. At the beginning of designing the steam pipeline 9, the thermal displacement of the π-shaped bend and the empty position is reviewed by reasonable stress calculation, and adjustable supports are added at appropriate positions. When installing the support, the top plate 1 of the support is attached to the pipe support 8 on the pipeline 9, the distance between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 5 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 3 to adapt to the thermal displacement of the pipeline 9, and finally the bottom plate 5 is fixed on the support plate 6 by the fixing bolt 7. In addition, the damping spring 2 connected between the adjusting rod 3 and the top plate 1 can better adapt to the thermal displacement of the pipeline 9, and ensure that the pipe support 8 and the pipeline 9 are tightly attached. When the pipeline 9 is replaced or not in operation for a long time, in order to ensure the precision of the damping spring 2, the distance between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 5 needs to be fixed, the outer cylinder 42 is rotated, the inner cylinder 41 is clamped in the transverse clamping groove 422, and the relative sliding between the two is prevented, so that the distance between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 5 is fixed. At present, the adjustable support has been used for one year, and no pipeline 9 emptying phenomenon is found on the spot, which plays a good anti-emptying effect. The adjustable support can reasonably design the specifications of each part according to the displacement amplitude and load of the π-shaped bend of the steam pipeline 9, and ensure the strength requirement of each part in the use process, and no fatigue failure occurs.
