Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe connection technology, specifically to a quick-connect pipe connection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In pipeline engineering, pipeline connection is a critical link. Traditional pipeline connection methods such as welding and threaded connection, although technically mature, are complex and inefficient in certain situations, such as when rapid replacement or frequent connection and disconnection are required. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a connection mechanism that can quickly connect pipelines.

[0003] Referring to the CN220488567U, a quick-connect pipe connection mechanism includes a gantry, a height adjustment mechanism, a track beam assembly, a clamping assembly, a cylinder, an alignment pipe limiting assembly, anchor bolts, and anchor nuts. This connection mechanism uses a right-angle clamping assembly adapted to the outer diameter of the pipe, in conjunction with a cylinder-driven axial sliding motion along the track beam assembly, to stably transport large pipes and quickly connect them with adjacent pipes. This replaces traditional simple lifting tools for installation, ensuring accurate connection, reducing manual operation, and minimizing labor input. It solves the problems of inflexibility, inability to quickly and accurately connect pipes, easy pipe collision and displacement, and time-consuming and labor-intensive manual installation caused by traditional pipe lifting tools. As can be seen from the above, although this connection mechanism can be well applied, it is not convenient for sequential connection of pipes in two positions. After a set of pipes is connected and installed, the current pipe must be unloaded and replaced with a new set of pipes before subsequent connection operations can be carried out, thus affecting the connection efficiency and often troubling users. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-connect pipe connection mechanism to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that although the connection mechanism can be applied well, it is not convenient to connect pipes sequentially in two positions. After a set of pipes is installed, the current pipes need to be unloaded and replaced with a new set of pipes before subsequent connection operations can be carried out, which affects the efficiency of pipe connection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-connect pipe connection mechanism, comprising a machine base, with second stands on both sides of the top of the machine base, and second guide rails on the top of each of the second stands. Second docking platforms are slidably mounted on the tops of the two second guide rails. A second support frame is provided on the top of the machine base on one side of the second stands, and a second telescopic drive component is mounted on the top of the second support frame. One end of the second telescopic drive component is connected to the bottom of the second docking platform. A first stand is provided on the top of the machine base on the side of the second support frame away from the second stands, and a first guide rail is provided on the top of each first stand. A first docking platform is slidably connected to the top of the first guide rail. A first support frame is provided on the top of the machine base on the side of the first stand away from the second docking platform, and a first telescopic drive component is mounted on the top of the first support frame. One end of the first telescopic drive component is connected to the bottom of the first docking platform. Two limiting rails are provided on the tops of both the first and second docking platforms. Two docking plates are provided above each limiting rail. A rail seat is provided at the corner of the bottom of each docking plate, and the bottom of the rail seat is slidably connected to the top of the limiting rail.

[0006] Preferably, positioning seats are provided on both sides of the top of the first docking platform and the second docking platform. A third telescopic drive component is installed on the outer wall of the positioning seat. One end of the third telescopic drive component passes through the positioning seat and is connected to the outer wall of the docking plate. The third telescopic drive component is provided to drive the docking plate to move horizontally.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the docking plate is provided with a clamping frame, and the bottom of the clamping frame is provided with a lower clamp. The clamping frame is provided to accommodate the lower clamp and other related components.

[0008] Preferably, a pipe body is installed inside the clamping frame above the lower clamp, and both ends of the pipe body extend to the outside of the clamping frame. The bottom end of the pipe body touches the top of the lower clamp, so that the lower clamp, in conjunction with the upper clamp, clamps and fixes the pipe body.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded cylinder is provided at the center of the top of the clamping frame, and a threaded rod is installed inside the threaded cylinder. Both ends of the threaded rod extend to the outside of the threaded cylinder. The threaded rod rotates and slides inside the threaded cylinder, so that the threaded cylinder drives the upper clamp to perform lifting and lowering operations.

[0010] Preferably, a rotating handle is installed at the top of the threaded rod, and an upper clamp is rotatably installed at the bottom of the threaded rod. The outer walls on both sides of the upper clamp are slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping frame, and the bottom of the upper clamp contacts the top of the pipe body. The upper clamp is designed to cooperate with the lower clamp to clamp and fix the pipe body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the quick-connect pipe connection mechanism not only achieves the purpose of sequentially connecting and installing the pipe body at two workstations to improve the connection efficiency of the pipe body when using the connection mechanism, but also reduces the displacement phenomenon during the connection and installation of the pipe body, and achieves the purpose of automating the connection and installation of the pipe body.

[0012] (1) The second docking platform is driven to move horizontally by the second telescopic drive member, so that the second docking platform slides on the top of the second guide rail. Then the first docking platform is driven to move horizontally by the first telescopic drive member, so that the first docking platform slides on the top of the first guide rail. This allows the first docking platform and the second docking platform to move the pipe body above them back and forth to the front for replacement work. In this way, when one set of pipe bodies is docked and installed, another set of pipe bodies can be replaced, so as to achieve the purpose of docking and installing pipe bodies in sequence at two workstations, thereby improving the docking efficiency of the pipe body when the connection mechanism is used.

[0013] (2) By inserting one end of the pipe body into the clamping frame, and then rotating the handle, the threaded rod is rotated inside the threaded cylinder and slides downward, so that the threaded rod drives the upper clamp to move downward inside the clamping frame. The upper clamp and the lower clamp can then clamp and fix the pipe body, thereby reducing the displacement phenomenon during the pipe body docking installation.

[0014] (3) The docking plate is driven to move horizontally by the third telescopic drive component, so that the docking plate drives the rail seat to slide at the top of the limit rail, so that the docking plate drives the pipe body above it to move horizontally smoothly, and the two pipe bodies contact each other and are inserted and installed, thereby achieving the purpose of automating the docking and installation of the pipe body.

One end of the second telescopic drive member 9 is connected to the bottom end of the second docking platform 10. A first support 2 is provided on the top of the machine base 1 on the side of the second support frame 23 away from the second support 7. A first guide rail 3 is provided on the top of the first support 2. A first docking platform 6 is slidably connected to the top of the first guide rail 3. Positioning seats 14 are provided on both sides of the top of the first docking platform 6 and the second docking platform 10. A third telescopic drive member 15 is installed on the outer wall of the positioning seat 14. One end of the third telescopic drive member 15 passes through the positioning seat 14 and is connected to the outer wall of the docking plate 13.

[0022] In use, the third telescopic drive component 15 is set to drive the docking plate 13 to move horizontally.

[0023] The top of the machine base 1 on the side of the first stand 2 away from the second docking platform 10 is provided with a first support frame 4. The top of the first support frame 4 is equipped with a first telescopic drive component 5. One end of the first telescopic drive component 5 is connected to the bottom end of the first docking platform 6. The top of both the first docking platform 6 and the second docking platform 10 is provided with two limit rails 11. Above the limit rails 11, there are two docking plates 13. The top of the docking plate 13 is provided with a clamping frame 16, and the bottom of the clamping frame 16 is provided with a lower clamp 17.

[0024] In use, the clamping frame 16 is set up to accommodate and handle related components such as the lower clamp 17;

[0025] The pipe body 22 is installed inside the clamping frame 16 above the lower clamp 17. Both ends of the pipe body 22 extend to the outside of the clamping frame 16, and the bottom end of the pipe body 22 touches the top of the lower clamp 17.

[0026] In use, the bottom end of the pipe body 22 touches the top of the lower clamp 17 so that the lower clamp 17 cooperates with the upper clamp 18 to clamp and fix the pipe body 22.

[0027] A threaded cylinder 19 is provided at the center of the top of the clamping frame 16. A threaded rod 20 is installed inside the threaded cylinder 19, and both ends of the threaded rod 20 extend to the outside of the threaded cylinder 19.

[0028] In use, the threaded rod 20 rotates and slides inside the threaded cylinder 19, so that the threaded cylinder 19 drives the upper chuck 18 to perform lifting and lowering operations.

[0029] A handle 21 is installed at the top of the threaded rod 20, and an upper chuck 18 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the threaded rod 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, during use, one end of the pipe body 22 is first inserted into the clamping frame 16. Then, the handle 21 is rotated, causing the threaded rod 20 to rotate inside the threaded cylinder 19 and slide downwards. This causes the threaded rod 20 to drive the upper clamp 18 to move downwards inside the clamping frame 16, whereby the upper clamp 18, in conjunction with the lower clamp 17, clamps and fixes the pipe body 22. Then, the third telescopic drive member 15 drives the docking plate 13 to move horizontally, causing the docking plate 13 to drive the rail seat 12 to slide on top of the limiting rail 11. This allows the docking plate 13 to smoothly move the pipe body 22 above it horizontally, thus allowing the two pipe bodies 22 to move together. After contact and docking installation, the second docking platform 10 is driven to move horizontally by the second telescopic drive component 9, so that the second docking platform 10 slides on the top of the second guide rail 8. Then, the first docking platform 6 is driven to move horizontally by the first telescopic drive component 5, so that the first docking platform 6 slides on the top of the first guide rail 3. This allows the first docking platform 6 and the second docking platform 10 to move the pipe body 22 above them back and forth to the front for replacement work. In this way, when one set of pipe bodies 22 is docked and installed, another set of pipe bodies 22 can be replaced, so as to achieve the purpose of docking and installing pipe bodies 22 in sequence at two stations, thus completing the use of the connection mechanism.
