Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline installation and construction technology, specifically a pipe-threading device for installing pipelines in a confined space of a process pipe gallery. Background Technology

[0002] When installing pipelines in a process pipe gallery, the pipelines need to be inserted into the existing process pipe gallery. Generally, a crane is used to lift the pipelines onto the process pipe gallery frame. However, due to the limited working space on the process pipe gallery, it is not possible to continue lifting with a crane. Therefore, it is necessary to manually move the pipelines to the installation location and manually insert the pipes. This has the disadvantages of high labor intensity, high risk, and low work efficiency. To address this, we have proposed a pipe inserter for installation in the limited space of a process pipe gallery. Utility Model Content

Rollers are installed between the left and right sides of the bearing seat and the protective plates on the left and right sides, and sleeve rollers are sleeved on the outside of the rollers.

[0005] Preferably, the sleeve roller and the roller shaft are connected by a bearing, with the outer ring of the sleeve roller fixedly welded to the bearing and the inner ring of the roller shaft fixedly welded to the bearing.

[0006] Preferably, the two sets of rollers are symmetrically arranged, and the connection between the roller and the bearing seat is lower than the connection between the roller and the guard plate, so that the two sets of rollers are V-shaped.

[0007] Preferably, the base includes a base plate, and side plates are symmetrically welded to the top left and right sides of the base plate, and a top plate is fixedly welded to the top of the two sets of side plates.

[0008] Preferably, the bearing seat, the two sets of guard plates, and the rollers and sleeve rollers between the guard plates and the bearing seat form a guiding mechanism, and the guiding mechanism consists of three sets with the same structure.

[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0018] In this embodiment, a pipe threading device is installed in the confined space of a process pipe gallery. Currently, the pipe threading operation is performed manually, which has the disadvantages of high labor intensity, high risk, and low work efficiency, including:

[0019] The winch 1, the traction rope 2, and the fixed pulley 3 are provided. One end of the traction rope 2 is fixed to the winding shaft of the winch 1, and the fixed pulley 3 is fixed to the process pipe rack. The traction rope 2 passes around the fixed pulley 3 to change the direction of the traction rope 2.

[0020] It also includes the main body 4 of the pipe threader, which is placed at equal intervals on the process pipe gallery. The main body 4 of the pipe threader includes a base 401. A bearing seat 402 is fixedly installed at the top center of the base 401. Protective plates 403 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the base 401. Rollers 404 are installed between the left and right sides of the bearing seat 402 and the protective plates 403 on the left and right sides. A sleeve roller 405 is sleeved on the outside of the roller 404.

[0021] It should be added that: the sleeve roller 405 and the roller shaft 404 are connected by a bearing. The sleeve roller 405 is fixedly welded to the outer ring of the bearing, and the roller shaft 404 is fixedly welded to the inner ring of the bearing.

[0022] The two sets of rollers 404 are symmetrically arranged, and the connection between the rollers 404 and the bearing seat 402 is lower than the connection between the rollers 404 and the guard plate 403, so that the two sets of rollers 404 are V-shaped.

[0023] Based on the above technology, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: When this device is in use, the end of the traction rope 2 away from the winch 1 is fixedly sleeved on the pipe 5. The crane lifts the pipe 5 to the top of the process pipe gallery and onto the pipe threader body 4 above the process pipe gallery. The traction rope 2 is then manually fixedly sleeved on the pipe 5. The winch 1 is started, and the winch 1 winds up the traction rope 2, pulling the pipe 5 above the pipe threader body 4 for pipe threading.

[0024] When the pipe 5 passes over the pipe threader body 4, the roller 405 and the roller shaft 404 are connected by bearings, so the pipe 5 can move better on the pipe threader body 4, which facilitates the pipe threading work. The bearing seat 402 and the guard plate 403 support the roller shaft 404.

[0025] It should be added that: the base 401 includes a base plate, and side plates are symmetrically welded to the top left and right sides of the base plate. A top plate is fixedly welded to the top of the two sets of side plates.

[0026] Based on the above technology, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: through the above design, the base 401 is a hollow structure, which reduces the weight of the base 401, and the base 401 is through the front and back, which facilitates transportation and movement.

[0027] The guide mechanism is composed of a bearing seat 402, two sets of guard plates 403, and rollers 404 and sleeve rollers 405 between the guard plates 403 and the bearing seat 402.

[0028] Example 1: When the guiding mechanism is a set, such as Figure 2 As shown, during use, the distance between the main bodies 4 of the pipe threader between two adjacent sets should be less than half the length of the pipe 5. This way, when the pipe 5 moves on the main body 4 of the pipe threader, the pipe 5 will always be on the two main bodies 4 of the pipe threader, which makes it easier to move the pipe 5.

[0029] Example 2: When there are three sets of guiding mechanisms, such as Figure 3 As shown, during use, each set of pipe inserters 4 is equipped with three sets of guiding mechanisms, which provides a larger support surface for the pipe 5 and better support stability.

[0030] It should be added that: a toothed ring 406 is fixedly installed on the inner circumferential side wall of the sleeve roller 405, and a drive motor 407 is fixedly installed on the outer circumferential wall of the roller shaft 404. A drive gear 408 is fixedly installed on the power output end of the drive motor 407, and the drive gear 408 is meshed with the toothed ring 406. Figure 4 As shown.

[0031] Based on the above technology, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: when the winch 1 cannot be used, or when the driving force of the winch 1 is insufficient, the drive motor 407 can be used to drive the gear ring 406 to rotate through the drive gear 408, thereby causing the gear ring 406 to drive the sleeve roller 405 to work, so as to transport the pipe 5 on the pipe threader body 4, facilitating the transport of the pipe 5.

[0032] It should be added that the drive motor 407 is commercially available. By making the center of the roller 404 hollow, the power supply wires and switches of the drive motor 407 are led out through the roller 404 to facilitate the control of the drive motor 407.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
