Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline installation device technology, specifically a guide-type pipeline docking installation device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industry, the installation of pipeline systems is a crucial step in ensuring the safe and efficient transport of fluids. Pipelines are widely used in construction, petroleum, natural gas, and chemical industries, especially in water supply and drainage systems, where the sealing and connection quality of pipelines directly affect the operational efficiency and safety of the entire system. During pipeline installation, situations often arise where adjacent pipelines need to be accurately connected. To achieve a good connection and avoid leaks, the precision of the connection becomes paramount. Traditional pipeline connection methods rely heavily on manual operation. While these methods can achieve a certain level of connection, the human factor makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of each connection. Against this backdrop, designing an efficient and precise pipeline connection auxiliary installation device is essential. Such a device can effectively assist operators in quickly and accurately completing pipeline connections, laying a solid foundation for subsequent pipeline welding or installation work.

[0003] Patent CN217193646U discloses a docking device for water supply pipeline installation, including a base plate. A fixed column is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the base plate, and a movable column is provided at the other end of the upper surface of the base plate. A clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column and the movable column. This invention improves the moving accuracy of the movable column by providing a fixed column and a movable column on the base plate, using a guide rod and guide groove for initial guidance of the movable column, and a dovetail slider and dovetail groove for further guidance. This improves the accuracy of pipeline docking. The fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate on the clamping assembly are engaged by a snap-fit ​​component in their upper protrusions. The insert plate and through groove on the snap-fit ​​component are limited by locking teeth and a rack, making it easy for the clamping assembly to clamp and limit the pipeline, and also easy to disassemble, thus improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0004] The existing technology described above clamps and limits the pipes using a clamping assembly, and then moves the pipes via a movable column to connect the two pipes. However, the operation of this clamping assembly is cumbersome, and after the two pipes are connected, the movable clamping plate needs to be completely disassembled to separate the clamping assembly from the pipes. Furthermore, when the movable column moves, the dovetail slider slides within the dovetail groove. Since the movable column supports the pipes, there is significant resistance when the movable column and the dovetail slider move, making it inconvenient for operators. Moreover, the movable column cannot be positioned after moving, which can lead to displacement during the pipe connection process. In view of this, we propose a guide-type pipe connection installation device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a guide-type pipe docking installation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A guide-type pipe docking installation device includes a base plate. A fixed support column is provided on the top and near the left side of the base plate to fix a pipe on one side. A fixed vertical plate is provided on the top of the base plate. Two guide crossbars are provided on the right side of the fixed vertical plate, which restrict the movable seat to slide only in the horizontal direction, thereby improving docking accuracy. The two guide crossbars are connected to the movable seat, which slides on the outside of the two guide crossbars to guide the movement of the movable support column and the pipe, thereby achieving precise horizontal adjustment. The bottom of the movable seat is provided with four rollers arranged in a matrix. The rollers roll on the surface of the base plate to reduce frictional resistance and facilitate manual pushing of the movable seat. A clamping bolt is threadedly connected to the top and near the front of the movable seat. After tightening, it presses against the guide crossbars to prevent the movable seat from shifting during docking.

[0008] The top of the movable seat is provided with a movable support column. Both the top of the fixed support column and the top of the movable support column are provided with clamping components. The clamping components include a U-shaped fixed plate with the opening facing forward, which provides an installation base for the clamping mechanism. The opening design facilitates the separation of the clamping components from the pipe. The bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped fixed plate and near the front end is provided with a first V-shaped clamping plate. The top of the U-shaped fixed plate and near the front end is threadedly connected with a first threaded rod. When rotated, it drives the movable plate and the second V-shaped clamping plate to move up and down, adjusting the clamping force. The bottom end of the first threaded rod passes through the top of the U-shaped fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the movable plate. The bottom of the movable plate is provided with a second V-shaped clamping plate, which cooperates with the first V-shaped clamping plate to clamp the pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate is provided with four universal casters with brakes arranged in a matrix, which facilitates the overall movement of the device and fixes the position after braking to prevent slippage. The bottom of the base plate and near the left and right sides are provided with fixing parts to improve the stability of the base plate.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing component includes a second threaded rod that is threadedly connected to the base plate. The position of the abutment is adjusted so that the abutment rises away from the ground when the device is moved. The top end of the second threaded rod passes through the bottom of the base plate and is fixedly connected to a knob. The bottom end of the second threaded rod is rotatably connected to the abutment. An anti-slip pad is adhered to the bottom of the abutment. When in contact with the ground, the anti-slip pad increases the friction and prevents the device from shifting after it is fixed.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the fixed support column is detachably connected to the base plate by bolts, and the top of the fixed support column is detachably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped fixing plate by bolts, so that the fixed support column can be replaced to adapt to the installation requirements of pipes at different heights.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the movable support column is detachably connected to the movable seat by bolts, and the top of the movable support column is detachably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped fixing plate by bolts, so that the movable support column can be replaced to adapt to the installation requirements of pipelines at different heights.

[0013] Preferably, the movable seat has two circular holes arranged symmetrically on the left side, and the two guide crossbars pass through the two circular holes respectively, restricting the movable seat to slide in only one direction. The threaded end of the clamping bolt abuts against the outer wall of the front guide crossbar, locking the position of the movable seat through friction and ensuring docking stability.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning vertical rod is provided at the top of the movable plate and near the rear side. The top of the positioning vertical rod passes through the top of the inner wall of the U-shaped fixing plate to the outside, preventing the movable plate from deflecting and ensuring the clamping verticality.

[0015] Preferably, the second V-shaped clamp is located directly above the first V-shaped clamp. The concave surface of the first V-shaped clamp is bonded with a first rubber pad to protect the pipe surface and enhance the clamping friction. The concave surface of the second V-shaped clamp is bonded with a second rubber pad, which works in conjunction with the first rubber pad to prevent the pipe from sliding or being damaged during clamping.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This guide-type pipe docking installation device, through the cooperation of the sliding seat and the guide bar, combined with the bottom roller design, significantly reduces the frictional resistance when manually pushing, and realizes rapid adjustment of the horizontal movement of the pipe; the clamping component adopts a V-shaped clamping plate and threaded rod linkage structure, which can complete the clamping or releasing by simply rotating the threaded rod, avoiding the cumbersome operation of disassembling parts in traditional devices, and greatly shortening the docking time.

[0018] 2. This guide-type pipe docking installation device has a guide crossbar that restricts the moving seat to slide in only one direction. Combined with the locking function of the clamping bolt, it effectively prevents deviations caused by displacement during docking. The vertical clamping design of the positioning vertical rod and the V-shaped clamping plate ensures precise alignment of the pipe axis, improves sealing performance, and reduces the difficulty of subsequent welding.

[0019] 3. This guide-type pipe docking installation device features detachable connections for both fixed and movable support columns. By replacing support columns of different heights, it can adapt to various pipe diameters and installation scenarios. Rubber pads are added to the clamping surfaces to protect the pipe surface from scratches and to prevent pipe slippage by increasing friction, thus balancing protection and clamping reliability.

[0020] 4. This guide-type pipe docking installation device has a braked universal wheel at the bottom for easy movement of the device. The fixing component drives the abutment plate and anti-slip pad to press firmly against the ground through the second threaded rod, ensuring that the device is stable and does not shift during operation.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A guide-type pipe docking installation device includes a base plate 1. A fixed support column 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 1 near the left side for fixing one side of the pipe. A fixed vertical plate 10 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. Two guide crossbars 11 are provided on the right side of the fixed vertical plate 10, which restrict the movable seat 3 to slide only in the horizontal direction, thereby improving docking accuracy. The two guide crossbars 11 are connected to the movable seat 3. The movable seat 3 slides on the outside of the two guide crossbars 11, which plays a guiding role. By sliding, the movable support column 4 and the pipe are moved to achieve precise horizontal adjustment. The bottom of the movable seat 3 is provided with four rollers 31 arranged in a matrix. The rollers 31 roll on the surface of the base plate 1 to reduce frictional resistance and facilitate manual pushing of the movable seat 3. A clamping bolt 32 is threadedly connected to the top of the movable seat 3 near the front side. After tightening, it presses against the guide crossbars 11 to prevent the movable seat 3 from shifting during docking.

[0031] The top of the movable seat 3 is provided with a movable support column 4. The top of both the fixed support column 2 and the top of the movable support column 4 are provided with clamping components 5. The clamping components 5 include a U-shaped fixed plate 50 with the opening facing forward, which provides an installation base for the clamping mechanism. The opening design facilitates the separation of the clamping components 5 from the pipe. The bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped fixed plate 50 and near the front end is provided with a first V-shaped clamping plate 51. The top of the U-shaped fixed plate 50 and near the front end is threadedly connected with a first threaded rod 52. When rotated, it drives the movable plate 53 and the second V-shaped clamping plate 54 to move up and down, adjusting the clamping force. The bottom end of the first threaded rod 52 passes through the top of the U-shaped fixed plate 50 and is rotatably connected to the movable plate 53. The bottom of the movable plate 53 is provided with a second V-shaped clamping plate 54, which cooperates with the first V-shaped clamping plate 51 to clamp the pipe.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with four universal casters 6 with brakes arranged in a matrix, which facilitates the overall movement of the device and fixes the position after braking to prevent slippage. Fixing members 7 are provided at the bottom of the base plate 1 and near the left and right sides to improve the stability of the base plate 1.

[0033] Specifically, the fixing component 7 includes a second threaded rod 70 that is threadedly connected to the base plate 1. The position of the abutment plate 71 is adjusted so that the abutment plate 71 rises away from the ground when the device is moved. The top end of the second threaded rod 70 passes through the bottom of the base plate 1 and is fixedly connected to a knob. The bottom end of the second threaded rod 70 is rotatably connected to the abutment plate 71. An anti-slip pad 72 is adhered to the bottom of the abutment plate 71. When in contact with the ground, the anti-slip pad 72 increases the friction and prevents the device from shifting after it is fixed.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixed support column 2 is detachably connected to the base plate 1 by bolts, and the top of the fixed support column 2 is detachably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped fixing plate 50 by bolts, so that the fixed support column 2 can be replaced to adapt to the pipe installation requirements of different heights.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the movable support column 4 is detachably connected to the movable seat 3 by bolts, and the top of the movable support column 4 is detachably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped fixing plate 50 by bolts, so that the movable support column 4 can be replaced to adapt to the pipe installation requirements of different heights.

[0036] Furthermore, two circular holes 30 are provided on the left side of the movable seat 3, arranged symmetrically front to back. Two guide crossbars 11 pass through the two circular holes 30 respectively, restricting the movable seat 3 to slide in only one direction. The threaded end of the clamping bolt 32 abuts against the outer wall of the front guide crossbar 11, locking the position of the movable seat 3 by friction and ensuring docking stability.

[0037] Furthermore, a positioning vertical rod 530 is provided at the top of the movable plate 53 and near the rear side. The top of the positioning vertical rod 530 passes through the top of the inner wall of the U-shaped fixing plate 50 to the outside, preventing the movable plate 53 from deflecting and ensuring the clamping verticality.

[0038] Furthermore, the second V-shaped clamp 54 is located directly above the first V-shaped clamp 51. The concave surface of the first V-shaped clamp 51 is bonded with a first rubber pad 55 to protect the pipe surface and enhance the clamping friction. The concave surface of the second V-shaped clamp 54 is bonded with a second rubber pad 56, which works in conjunction with the first rubber pad 55 to prevent the pipe from sliding or being damaged during clamping.

[0039] In this embodiment, the guide-type pipe docking installation device is first moved to the pipe docking position using the braked universal wheels 6 at the bottom of the base plate 1. The brakes on the universal wheels 6 are used, and the second threaded rod 70 of the fixing component 7 is adjusted. Rotating the knob of the second threaded rod 70 drives the abutment plate 71 to descend, causing the anti-slip pad 72 to contact the ground and secure the device. Next, depending on the pipe height requirements, the fixed support column 2 or the movable support column 4 is replaced with bolts to ensure that the U-shaped fixing plate 50 of the clamping assembly 5 is aligned with the pipe axis. The two pipe sections to be docked are placed in the clamping assemblies 5 of the fixed support column 2 and the movable support column 4, respectively. Rotating the first threaded rod 52 drives the moving plate 53 and the second V-shaped clamping plate 54 to move downwards. The pipe is clamped by the first V-shaped clamp 51 and the second V-shaped clamp 54, and the first rubber pad 55 and the second rubber pad 56 protect the pipe wall and enhance friction. Then, the clamping bolt 32 on the moving seat 3 is loosened, and the moving seat 3 is pushed along the guide bar 11. The roller 31 rolls on the surface of the base plate 1 to drive the pipe on the side of the movable support column 4 to move horizontally. The circular hole 30 cooperates with the guide bar 11 to restrict the direction of movement. After the pipe is connected to the target position, the clamping bolt 32 is tightened to press against the guide bar 11 to lock the moving seat 3. After the connection is completed, the first threaded rod 52 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the pipe. The fixing part 7 is adjusted to raise the support plate 71 and release the anti-slip pad 72 from the ground. The device can then be moved to the next work point.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
