Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail below:
[0026] This utility model discloses a thermal pipeline connection protection device, such as... Figure 1 , 2As shown, a thermal pipeline connection protection device includes a base 1 with a fixing hole at the bottom. A ground nail 11 for connection to the ground is installed in the fixing hole. The device is characterized by having four guide corner posts 2 welded to the top of the base 1, with a support frame 3 slidably connected between them. An adjustment assembly is provided between the support frame 3 and the base 1. An installation groove 4 is provided on the top of the support frame 3. A lower buckle 5 is detachably installed inside the installation groove 4. One end of the lower buckle 5 is hinged to one end of an upper buckle 51. A locking element is provided between the other end of the lower buckle 5 and the other end of the upper buckle 51. The upper buckle 51 and the lower buckle 5 can interlock to form a closed ring. In this embodiment, during installation, the base 1 is first fixed to the ground at the thermal pipeline connection point using the ground nail 11. Then, the position of the support frame 3 on the guide corner posts 2 is adjusted to adapt to the space requirements of different pipeline connections. This design improves the adaptability and stability of the device, ensuring effective protection for the thermal pipeline in various environments.
[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a drive device 6 and a lead screw 61. The drive device 6 is bolted to the bottom of the base 1. One end of the lead screw 61 is rotatably connected to the output end of the drive device 6. The other end of the lead screw 61 extends through the top of the base 1 into the interior of the support frame 3. A lifting plate 31 is welded inside the support frame 3. A threaded hole is opened inside the lifting plate 31, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 61. In this embodiment, the servo motor is started as the drive device 6, and the motor output shaft drives the lead screw 61 to rotate. Since the threaded hole opened inside the lifting plate 31 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 61, the lifting plate 31 will move up and down with the rotation of the lead screw 61. This movement process allows the support frame 3 and the buckle installed on it to be precisely adjusted to the required height. Precise height adjustment is achieved, which is convenient for adapting to the connection of thermal pipes of different diameters and positions, and improves the flexibility and practicality of the device.
[0028] The drive device 6 is a servo motor. In this embodiment, the servo motor is used as the drive device 6. It has the characteristics of high precision, high stability and easy control, and is suitable for occasions that require precise adjustment. After receiving the control signal, the servo motor outputs rotational power according to the preset program and parameters to drive the lead screw 61 to rotate. Using a servo motor as the drive device 6 improves the automation level and adjustment accuracy of the device, and reduces the difficulty of operation and labor costs.
[0029] It is worth noting that the drive unit 6 can also be adjusted manually using a gear set and a rocker arm to meet different operational needs;
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the inner wall of the mounting groove 4 has a slot 42; the outer wall of the lower buckle 5 is welded with a positioning block 52 corresponding to the slot 42; after the positioning block 52 is embedded in the slot 42, it is fixed to the mounting groove 4 by bolts; in this embodiment, the lower buckle 5 cooperates with the slot 42 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 4 through the positioning block 52 and is fixed by bolts to ensure the stability and reliability of the lower buckle 5 in the mounting groove 4; the positioning block 52 of the lower buckle 5 is aligned with the slot 42 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 4 and inserted, and then the bolts are tightened to fix the lower buckle 5 in the mounting groove 4; this design simplifies the installation process of the lower buckle 5, improves the installation efficiency and stability, and facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement; at the same time, this modular design can be used to replace the upper buckle 51 and lower buckle 5 of different sizes to cope with different pipe diameters, thus expanding the scope of application;
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a buffer pad 41 is attached to the bottom of the mounting groove 4; the buffer pad 41 is made of rubber; in this embodiment, the buffer pad 41 is made of rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, and can absorb and disperse the vibration and impact force at the pipe connection; when the heat pipe is subjected to vibration or impact force, the buffer pad 41 can absorb some energy, reduce the stress and damage at the pipe connection; improve the shock absorption performance of the device, extend the service life of the heat pipe, and reduce maintenance costs;
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a hook 9, a rotating bracket 91, a lock handle 92, a movable hole 93, a hanging ring 94, and a locking bolt 95. The hook 9 is bolted to the outer wall of the upper buckle 51. The rotating bracket 91 is bolted to the side wall of the lower buckle 5 at the same position as the hook 9. The lock handle 92 is rotatably connected inside the rotating bracket 91. The lock handle 92 has a movable hole 93 inside. The hanging ring 94 is movably connected inside the movable hole 93. The hanging ring 94 can be hooked onto the hook 9 when the lock handle 92 is released. After the lock handle 92 is pressed closed, its end... When the lower latch 5 is flush with the lower latch 5, they are fixed together by the locking bolt 95. In this embodiment, after the upper latch 51 and the lower latch 5 are connected, the locking handle 92 is rotated upward to make the hanging ring 94 hang on the hook 9. Then the locking handle 92 is pressed down to make the hanging ring 94 tighten the hook 9. When the locking handle 92 is pressed down to be flush with the lower latch 5, the locking bolt 95 is tightened to fix the locking handle 92 on the lower latch 5, thereby realizing the locking of the upper latch 51 and the lower latch 5. This design simplifies the locking process, improves the reliability and stability of the locking, and facilitates subsequent opening and disassembly.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a detection hole is provided on the inner side wall of the buckle, and a positioning sensor 8 for identifying the position of the thermal pipe is installed inside the detection hole. In this embodiment, during the upward movement of the adjustment component, the positioning sensor 8 continuously detects the position of the pipe. When the pipe is detected, a signal is sent to the control system, and the control system controls the servo motor to stop rotating, thereby stopping the upward movement. The positioning sensor 8 improves the intelligence and automation level of the device, and reduces the difficulty of operation and the error rate.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a handrail 53 is bolted to the outer wall of the upper buckle 51. In this embodiment, the operator holds the handrail 53 and applies force to connect and lock the upper buckle 51 with the lower buckle 5.
