Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine layout optimization technology, specifically, it is an engine pipe clamp for positioning long pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] The transmission of water, steam, oil, and other fluids to an engine requires piping connections. When the piping distance is long, pipe supports need to be installed in the middle of the piping to provide support and prevent long pipes from vibrating excessively during engine operation, colliding with surrounding surfaces, or deforming excessively and causing damage. Many piping arrangements are fixed using welded brackets, which results in rigid connections during installation, requiring high precision in assembly and making manufacturing too demanding.

[0003] Therefore, how to position long pipelines in a compact and easy-to-install manner to prevent them from falling off during transportation is a practical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pipe clamp for engine use in positioning long pipelines, so as to avoid damage to the pipe wall due to friction. At the same time, it has a compact structure, is easy to assemble, and will not fall off during transportation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical means:

[0006] An engine pipe clamp for positioning long pipelines includes a strip-shaped flexible skeleton, the flexible skeleton including a locking part and a winding part;

[0007] The two ends of the flexible skeleton are close to each other to form the locking part;

[0008] The middle section of the flexible skeleton serves as the winding part, which includes a curved section and a straight section connected to the locking part.

[0009] The winding portion is covered with a rubber structure.

[0010] Preferably, the flexible skeleton has a first hole and a second hole at each end, the first hole and the second hole being concentric circles spaced 1.5 to 3 mm apart, and the locking part is locked by inserting bolts into the first hole and the second hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a displacement allowance gap is constructed between the end of the rubber mechanism and the locking part.

[0012] Furthermore, the rubber mechanism is a rubber strip, and a rectangular cavity is provided inside the rubber mechanism, with the winding part located inside the rectangular cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the rubber mechanism has a notch on the side of the inner annular surface opposite to the winding part, and the notch is connected to the rectangular cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner wall of the rectangular cavity is tightly fitted to the winding portion.

[0015] Furthermore, the flexible skeleton is a thin-walled steel strip with a wall thickness of 0.5~0.7mm, and the rubber mechanism is a rubber material with a Shore hardness of 55~80.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects during use:

[0017] A flexible, strip-shaped frame surrounds the pipeline, and after locking using the locking part formed by the flexible frame, the winding part wraps around the pipeline, thus achieving pipeline positioning. The curved section provides excellent wrapping of the pipeline, offering good protection for the positioning area, while the straight section connects with the locking part, ensuring a more stable positioning effect after locking. Its non-detachable design solves the problem of detachment during transportation and facilitates assembly. Furthermore, the rubber mechanism covering the winding part reduces wear between the pipe and the support, ensuring the appearance quality and strength of the pipeline and extending the component's lifespan.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an engine pipe clamp for positioning long pipelines includes a strip-shaped flexible frame 1, which includes a locking part 2 and a winding part 3.

[0029] The two ends of the flexible skeleton 1 are close to each other to form the locking part 2;

[0030] The middle section of the flexible skeleton 1 serves as the winding part 3, which includes a curved section 4 and a straight section 5 connected to the locking part 2.

[0031] The winding part 3 is covered with a rubber mechanism 6.

[0032] In this way, the flexible strip frame 1 surrounds the pipeline, and after being locked by the locking part 2 formed by the flexible frame 1, the winding part 3 wraps around the pipeline, thereby achieving pipeline positioning. The curved section 4 effectively wraps around the pipeline, providing good protection for the pipeline positioning area. The straight section 5 forms the connection with the locking part 2, making the positioning effect of the entire pipe clamp more stable after the locking part 2 is locked. Its non-detachable structural design solves the problem of detachment during transportation and facilitates assembly. Furthermore, the rubber mechanism 6 covering the winding part 3 reduces wear between the pipe and the pipe support, ensuring the appearance quality and strength of the pipeline and extending the lifespan of the components.

[0033] Specifically, the flexible skeleton 1 has a first hole 7 and a second hole 8 at both ends, and the first hole 7 and the second hole 8 are concentric circles with a distance of 1.5~3mm. The locking part 2 is locked by inserting bolts into the first hole 7 and the second hole 8.

[0034] In this way, the locking part 2 can be positioned by installing bolts through the first hole 7 and the second hole 8. After tightening the bolts, the distance between the holes of the first hole 7 and the second hole 8 is reduced, thus achieving the function of clamping the wrapping tube.

[0035] Furthermore, a displacement clearance 9 is provided between the end of the rubber mechanism 6 and the locking part 2.

[0036] In this way, on the one hand, the displacement allowance gap 9 allows the operator to easily apply external force to the rubber mechanism 6, thereby adjusting the position of the rubber mechanism 6 on the winding part 3 and enabling the rubber mechanism 6 to better protect the outer wall of the pipeline. On the other hand, the winding part 3 covers the curved section 4 and part of the straight section 5 of the winding part 3. The corner at the junction of the curved section 4 and the straight section 5 creates a similar corner for the rubber mechanism 6, thus preventing slippage of the rubber mechanism 6 when no external force is applied. Furthermore, the corner created by the curved section 4 and the straight section 5 improves the installation stability of the rubber mechanism 6 during use.

[0037] Furthermore, the rubber mechanism 6 is a rubber strip, and a rectangular cavity 10 is provided inside the rubber mechanism 6, with the winding part 3 located inside the rectangular cavity 10.

[0038] Furthermore, the rubber mechanism 6 has a notch 11 on the side facing away from the inner annular surface of the winding part 3, and the notch 11 is connected to the rectangular cavity 10.

[0039] In this way, by utilizing the notch 11 on the inner annular side of the rubber mechanism 6 facing away from the winding part 3, not only will the protective function of the rubber mechanism 6 on the pipeline be not affected, but it will also be convenient to disassemble and install the rubber mechanism 6 and the flexible frame 1, making it convenient to replace the rubber mechanism 6.

[0040] Furthermore, the inner wall of the rectangular cavity 10 is tightly fitted to the winding part 3.

[0041] Furthermore, the flexible skeleton 1 is a thin-walled steel strip with a wall thickness of 0.5~0.7mm, and the rubber mechanism 6 is a rubber material with a Shore hardness of 55~80.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
