Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline installation technology, and more specifically, to an adaptive pipeline docking correction and positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] In building construction, pipe connection is a crucial task. It typically involves tightly connecting two or more pipe sections using methods such as welding, flange connections, and threaded connections to create a continuous piping system that meets the building's needs for water supply, drainage, heating, ventilation, and other functions. In the actual connection process, the first step is precise measurement and positioning, ensuring the pipe's position and angle are accurate. Next, appropriate connection methods and tools must be carefully selected based on the pipe's material and specifications. After connection, rigorous quality inspections, such as sealing tests and pressure tests, are necessary to ensure the piping system is leak-free and free of safety hazards, as the quality of pipe connection directly affects the functionality and safety of the building's piping system.
[0003] In existing technologies, the installation of large-diameter pipelines often relies on the assistance of lifting equipment. During the process of hoisting the pipeline to the designated position, the pipeline is suspended in the air and susceptible to swaying due to airflow, mechanical vibration, and other factors. At this point, manual alignment is extremely difficult. The swaying of the pipeline makes accurate alignment of the two pipe joints challenging, which not only increases installation time but also risks damaging the pipeline due to repeated adjustments, causing numerous inconveniences for the installation of large-diameter pipelines.
[0004] Large-diameter pipelines play a crucial role in building construction. Inaccurate connections can lead to leaks and other problems, affecting the building's functionality and potentially posing safety hazards. Furthermore, increased installation time costs can impact the overall project schedule and cost control. Therefore, it is urgent to find effective methods to address the issues of swaying and precise positioning during the hoisting and connection of large-diameter pipelines. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation Example
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4 An adaptive pipe docking and alignment positioning device is disclosed, comprising a connecting assembly that plays a crucial role in this application. It mainly includes a first adjuster 2 and an open annular component 1, the open annular component 1 being flexible and deformable. The first adjuster 2 connects the two ends of the open annular component 1, enabling adjustment of its diameter. Two connecting assemblies are used, with the open annular components 1 of the two assemblies coaxial and spaced apart. By adjusting the first adjuster 2, the diameter of the open annular component 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to pipes of different diameters, allowing it to adapt to pipes of various sizes. This design greatly expands the applicability of this application; whether for small-diameter or large-diameter pipes, stable connection can be achieved through adjustment, making this application more practical and providing a convenient and efficient solution for pipe connections. The tightening positioning assembly includes a first positioning seat 3, a second positioning seat 4, and a second adjuster 5. The first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 are respectively disposed on the open annular parts 1 of the two connecting assemblies. The second adjuster 5 connects the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 and is used to adjust the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 to move closer or further apart from each other along the axial direction of either of the open annular parts 1. The assembly also includes a telescopic rod 6, which connects the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 and is used to adapt to the relative movement of the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4.
[0029] The positioning device of this application has significant advantages in practical use. First, the open annular parts 1 of the two connecting components are respectively fitted onto two adjacent pipes. Then, by adjusting the corresponding first adjuster 2, the two open annular parts 1 can be made to tightly hug the corresponding pipes. Then, adjusting the second adjuster 5 will cause the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 to move closer together. Under the traction of the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4, the open annular parts 1 of the two connecting components are also pulled, thereby bringing the two pipes closer together. Since the two open annular parts 1 are arranged coaxially, the two pipes can move towards each other coaxially. Furthermore, under the guidance of the telescopic rod 6, misalignment of the two pipes is effectively avoided. This design can ensure precise and stable docking of the two pipes, which has obvious advantages compared with traditional docking methods. Traditional docking methods are easily affected by factors such as airflow and mechanical vibration, resulting in unstable docking, while this positioning device is not affected by these factors and can achieve stable docking. Finally, the two pipes are tightly connected by welding, flange connection, threaded connection, etc., to ensure the strength and sealing of the connection, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the pipeline system, and has broad application prospects in pipeline connection engineering.
[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, the number of the above-mentioned tightening and positioning components is multiple.
[0031] In the above embodiments, the design of multiple tightening and positioning components is of great significance. It improves the stability of the application during use, thereby further enhancing the docking stability of adjacent pipes. Optionally, three tightening and positioning components are preferred here, which can better play their role in stabilizing the connection in practical applications.
[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first adjuster 2 includes a first connecting seat 201 and a first gear 202. The first connecting seat 201 is provided with a first slot, and the first gear 202 is rotatably disposed in the first slot.
[0033] One end of the open annular component 1 is fixedly disposed on the first connecting seat 201, and the other end passes through the first slot. The outer ring surface of the open annular component 1 is provided with a first tooth groove 7 adapted to the first gear 202.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the inner side of one end of the open annular component 1 that movably engages with the first slot is attached to the bottom side of the first slot. This design allows the end of the open annular component 1 to extend or retract relative to the first slot when the first gear 202 and the first tooth groove 7 mesh, thereby adjusting the diameter of the open annular component 1. It is worth noting that the open annular component 1 in this application is a non-closed annular component, which has greater flexibility and adaptability in practical applications.
[0035] Specifically, the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 are slidably mounted on the open annular part 1 of the two connecting components. Since the sliding method is a conventional technique in the field, it is not shown in the figure. The specific sliding method can be designed as a combination of a groove and a slider, or as a structure of a pulley and a groove. The sliding direction is the circumferential direction of the open annular part 1, thus enabling position adjustment of the tightening positioning component on the open annular part 1. Both the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 are rotatably equipped with a fourth gear 8, which meshes with the first tooth groove 7. The two ends of the telescopic rod 6 are respectively connected to the two fourth gears 8, thereby achieving a more stable connection and positioning function.
[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first gear 202 is provided with a first handle 023 for driving the first gear 202 to rotate.
[0037] In the above embodiments, the design of the first handle 203 plays an important role. It facilitates the rotation of the first gear 202, thereby enabling the adjustment of the diameter of the open annular component 1. The first handle 203 is Z-shaped, with one end connected to the center of the side of the first gear 202. This design makes it easier for the operator to operate and improves the ease of use.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second adjuster 5 includes a connecting rod 501, a second gear 502, and a third gear 504. The connecting rod 501 passes through both the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4, and the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 are slidable along the axial direction of the connecting rod 501. The second gear 502 is rotatably disposed on the first positioning seat 3, and the third gear 504 is rotatably disposed on the second positioning seat 4.
[0039] The connecting rod 501 is provided with a second tooth groove 9, and simultaneously meshes with the second gear 502 and the third gear 504. When the second gear 502 and / or the third gear 504 rotate, the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 move closer to or further away from each other.
[0040] In the above embodiment, the connecting rod 501, positioned along the axial direction of the open annular component 1, serves multiple functions. It not only connects the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 but also ensures the stability of the relative positions of the two open annular components 1. When the second gear 502 and / or the third gear 504 are adjusted to rotate, the first positioning seat 3 and the second positioning seat 4 will move closer to or further away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two open annular components 1. In this way, the positions of the two pipes can be precisely adjusted, thereby achieving stable docking of the two pipes and improving the efficiency and quality of pipe connection.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second gear 502 is provided with a second handle 503, and the third gear 504 is provided with a third handle 505.
[0042] In the above embodiments, the design of the second handle 503 and the third handle 505 facilitates the adjustment of the corresponding rotation of the second gear 502 and the third gear 504. Both the second handle 503 and the third handle 505 are Z-shaped structures.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the open annular component 1 is made of steel.
[0044] In the above embodiments, the open annular component 1 made of steel has the advantage of structural stability. It should be noted that using steel for the open annular component 1 is merely one implementation method of this application and does not limit the structure of the open annular component 1. In other embodiments, the open annular component 1 may also be made of other materials.
[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
