Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline transportation technology, and more specifically, to a pipe handling tool. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of plastic pipes includes the following steps: 1. Extruding the pipes from the production line; 2. Cutting the pipes after they come off the line; 3. Temporarily storing the cut pipes on pallets next to the production line; 4. Placing the pipes into storage cages; 5. Moving the storage cages to the storage area outside the workshop; 6. Using a forklift to pick up the pipes from the storage cages and place them on pallets in the storage area. Handling equipment is required between each step. In the current pipe production process, there is a need to produce pipes of considerable length. For longer pipes, bending is not allowed during transport, therefore, handling equipment of sufficient length is needed to accommodate such pipes. However, setting up handling equipment based on the longest length of the pipes to be handled results in two problems: firstly, the handling equipment occupies too much space, hindering its use, movement, and storage, reducing flexibility, and increasing cost. On the other hand, this design results in a large carrying space for the handling tool, which means that when transporting shorter pipes, there are large gaps inside the handling tool. This causes the pipes to shake widely within the handling space during transport, which can lead to damage. Therefore, it is not suitable for transporting shorter pipes. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of the lack of existing handling tools that can simultaneously accommodate the handling needs of both long and short pipes, this utility model provides a pipe handling tool with a simple structure, which facilitates the handling of pipes and allows for the handling of longer pipes through assembly.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a pipe handling tool, including a base plate and a side plate, wherein the side plate is perpendicular to the base plate and fixed to one side of the base plate, the side plate is arranged along the length direction of the base plate, and baffles are provided at both ends of the base plate, at least one of the baffles is a detachable baffle, the side edge of the detachable baffle is detachably connected to the edge of the side plate, the bottom edge of the detachable baffle is rotatably connected to the edge of the base plate, a connecting structure is provided at the top of the detachable baffle, and multiple casters are provided on the bottom surface of the base plate.

[0005] In this technical solution, the base plate supports the pipe, and the side plates restrict the horizontal movement of the pipe. When placing the pipe, simply position it next to the base plate away from the side plates, ensuring it is parallel to the base plate on a horizontal plane, and then push the pipe onto the base plate. Baffles are installed at both ends of the base plate, restricting the pipe's movement along its length and preventing it from being thrown off the base plate due to inertia during sudden braking. While restricting the pipe's length movement, the baffles also divide the space above the base plate, ensuring that only pipes shorter than the distance between the two baffles can be accommodated above the base plate, preventing the transport of longer pipes. Therefore, at least one of the two baffles is a detachable baffle, which is rotatably connected to the base plate. This allows the detachable baffle to be laid flat, opening one end of the base plate. Pipes placed on the base plate can extend from the open end, ultimately allowing the base plate to accommodate pipes longer than itself. The top of the detachable baffle also features a connecting structure. When the detachable baffle is laid flat, this connecting structure is located at the end of the detachable baffle furthest from the base plate. This connecting structure can connect to connecting structures on other pipe handling tools, allowing different pipe handling tools to be combined to accommodate the handling of longer pipes. The sides of the detachable baffle are detachably connected to the edges of the side plates. When it is not necessary to combine pipe handling tools, simply rotate the detachable baffle upwards to connect it to the side plates, thus standing the detachable baffle upright. Multiple casters are also provided under the base plate for easy movement of the pipe handling tools.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting structure is a connecting hole, which is located on the top of the detachable baffle and on the central axis of the base plate along its length.

[0007] Preferably, the detachable baffle is a frame composed of multiple structural rods.

[0008] Preferably, the structural rod includes a base rod and two waist rods. The base rod is rotatably connected to the base plate. The base rod and the two waist rods are connected end to end to form an isosceles triangle. The structural rod also includes a side rod. The bottom end of the side rod is connected to the base rod and is perpendicular to the base rod. The side rod is detachably connected to the side plate. The top end of the side rod is also provided with a crossbar. The two ends of the crossbar are respectively connected to the connection points of the side rod and the two waist rods. The connecting hole is provided on the end of the crossbar that is connected to the connection points of the two waist rods.

[0009] Preferably, the device further includes a connecting rod, wherein each end of the connecting rod is provided with a second connecting hole, and the second connecting holes at both ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to the connecting holes on different pipe handling tools by bolts.

[0010] Preferably, both the base plate and the side plate are frame structures composed of multiple rods.

[0011] Preferably, a stop bar is detachably installed on the side of the base plate away from the side plate.

[0012] Preferably, the upper surface of the base plate away from the side plate has an insertion hole, and the stop bar is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the base plate is further provided with a drag rod, one end of which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate, and the other end of which is provided with a drag hole.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the base plate is the same as the height of the pad used to support the pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it is equipped with a detachable baffle that can be laid flat, and when laid flat, one end of the base plate is open, allowing the pipe to extend from that end. This allows for the placement of longer pipes. The top of the detachable baffle is equipped with a connecting structure that can be connected to other pipe handling tools, allowing different pipe handling tools to be assembled together, thus enabling the pipe handling tools to handle pipes with even longer lengths.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a pipe handling tool includes a base plate 1 and a side plate 2. The side plate 2 is perpendicular to the base plate 1 and fixed to one side of the base plate 1. The side plate 2 is arranged along the length of the base plate 1. Both ends of the base plate 1 are provided with baffles, at least one of which is a detachable baffle 3. The side edge of the detachable baffle 3 is detachably connected to the edge of the side plate 2, and the bottom edge of the detachable baffle 3 is rotatably connected to the edge of the base plate 1. The top of the detachable baffle 3 is also provided with a connecting structure. Multiple casters 6 are provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is used to support the pipe, and the side plate 2 is used to restrict the horizontal movement of the pipe. When placing the pipe, simply place the pipe on the side of the base plate 1 away from the side plate 2, ensuring the pipe is parallel to the base plate 1 on a horizontal plane, and then push the pipe onto the base plate 1. Both ends of the base plate 1 are equipped with baffles. The baffles are located at the front and rear ends of the pipe placed on the base plate 1, restricting the movement of the pipe along its length and preventing it from being thrown off the base plate 1 due to its own inertia during sudden braking. While restricting the movement of the pipe along its length, the baffles also divide the space above the base plate 1, so that only pipes shorter than the distance between the two baffles can be accommodated above the base plate 1, and longer pipes cannot be transported. Therefore, at least one of the two baffles is a detachable baffle 3, which is rotatably connected to the base plate 1, allowing the detachable baffle 3 to be laid flat. When laid flat, the detachable baffle 3 will open one end of the base plate 1, allowing the pipe on the base plate 1 to extend out from the open end, ultimately enabling the base plate 1 to accommodate pipes longer than the base plate 1. The top of the detachable baffle 3 is also equipped with a connecting structure. When the detachable baffle 3 is laid flat, the connecting structure is located at the end of the detachable baffle 3 away from the base plate 1. This connecting structure can be connected to the connecting structures on other pipe handling tools, thereby splicing different pipe handling tools together to meet the needs of handling longer pipes. The side of the detachable baffle 3 is detachably connected to the edge of the side plate 2. When it is not necessary to splice the pipe handling tools, simply rotate the detachable baffle 3 upwards to connect it with the side plate 2, and the detachable baffle 3 can be erected. Multiple casters 6 are also provided under the base plate 1 to facilitate the movement of the pipe handling tools.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the connection structure is a connecting hole 31, which is located on the top of the detachable baffle 3 and on the central axis of the base plate 1 along its length. The connecting hole 31 can be connected to connecting holes 31 on other pipe handling tools via bolts, hooks, or other devices, allowing different pipe handling tools to be assembled together. The fact that the connecting hole 31 is located on the central axis of the base plate 1 ensures that the two assembled pipe handling tools are aligned on the central axis, facilitating operator control and movement of the tools.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the detachable baffle 3 is a frame structure composed of multiple structural rods. This design ensures the structural strength of the detachable baffle 3 while reducing the material usage and weight, thus lowering its manufacturing cost.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the structural members include a base member 32 and two waist members 33. The base member 32 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1. The base member 32 and the two waist members 33 are connected end to end to form an isosceles triangle. It also includes a side member 34, the bottom end of which is connected to the base member 32 and perpendicular to it. The side member 34 is detachably connected to the side plate 2. A crossbar 35 is also provided at the top of the side member 34. The two ends of the crossbar 35 are connected to the connection points of the side member 34 and the two waist members 33, respectively. A connecting hole 31 is provided at the end of the crossbar 35 that connects to the connection points of the two waist members 33. The connection point of the two waist members 33 is located exactly on the central axis of the base plate 1. The location of the connecting hole 31 at this point concentrates the force on the axis of the base plate 1 when dragging other pipe handling tools, facilitating operation. The waist members 33 support the shape of the detachable baffle 3, enhancing its structural strength and making it less prone to deformation. The crossbar 35 is used to connect the joint of the two waist bars 33 to the side bar 34, and provides support for the side bar 34. The side bar 34 is used to detachably connect to the side plate 2. By connecting or disconnecting the side bar 34 from the side plate 2, the detachable baffle 3 can be erected or laid flat.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a connecting rod 4, with second connecting holes 41 at both ends. These second connecting holes 41 at both ends of the connecting rod 4 are connected to connecting holes 31 on different pipe handling tools via bolts. On one hand, pipe handling tools made to the same specifications have connecting holes 31 at the same height, and the two connecting holes 31 cannot be directly connected by bolts; they need to be connected via the connecting rod 4. On the other hand, by setting the connecting rod 4, the length of the two pipe handling tools after splicing can be increased.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1 above, except that, as Figure 1 As shown, both the base plate 1 and the side plate 2 are frame structures composed of multiple rods. The frame structure of both the base plate 1 and the side plate 2 ensures structural stability and supports the supporting materials, while reducing the material usage and weight of the base plate 1 and the side plate 2, thus lowering their manufacturing costs.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, a stop bar 5 is detachably installed on the side of the base plate 1 away from the side plate 2. During the movement of the pipe handling tool, due to vibration and the inertia of the pipe itself, there is a possibility that the pipe may roll off the inlet of the pipe handling tool. Therefore, the stop bar 5 is needed to close the inlet of the pipe handling tool on the side of the base plate 1 away from the side plate 2. When it is necessary to load or unload the pipe, the stop bar 5 is removed from the base plate 1, which opens the inlet for the pipe to enter the pipe handling tool. After the pipe loading or unloading is completed, the stop bar 5 is reinstalled on the base plate 1 to prevent the pipe from entering or falling out of the pipe handling tool.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an insertion hole is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1 on the side away from the side plate 2, and the stop bar 5 is inserted into the insertion hole. The stop bar 5 can be quickly installed and removed by insertion and removal, which facilitates the use efficiency of the pipe handling tool. The insertion hole can provide lateral support to the stop bar 5, thereby counteracting the force exerted on the stop bar 5 when the pipe slides out of the pipe handling tool, thus limiting the continued movement of the pipe.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1 above, except that, as Figure 1 As shown, a towing rod 7 is also provided at one end of the base plate 1. One end of the towing rod 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 1, and the other end of the towing rod 7 is provided with a towing hole 71. By providing the towing hole 71, the pipe handling tool can be connected to the trailer, traction robot, etc. through hooks, bolts, etc., to realize the automated traction of the pipe handling tool, providing power for the movement of the pipe handling tool, eliminating the need for manual pushing of the pipe handling tool, reducing the labor load of workers, and increasing the working efficiency of the pipe handling tool.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the height of the base plate 1 is the same as the height of the pad used to support the pipe. When the pipe is placed on the base plate 1 and after being removed from it, it must be placed on the pad. If there is a height difference between the pad and the base plate 1, the pipe's own weight must be overcome to move it vertically to overcome this height difference. This increases the workload of workers. Furthermore, when handling large-diameter, long pipes, which are heavy and difficult to move manually, specialized handling equipment is required, increasing costs and reducing the efficiency of pipe handling. Setting the height of the base plate 1 to be the same as the height of the pad allows the pipe to be pushed horizontally during installation and removal, eliminating the need to overcome its own weight to move it vertically, thus reducing the workload of workers.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
