Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support component technology, and in particular to a pipe support component for a steam generator. Background Technology
[0002] A steam generator, also known as a steam heat source machine, is a mechanical device that uses the heat energy of fuel or other energy sources to heat water into hot water or steam. During the use of a steam generator, the steam pipe may become misaligned due to gravity, which can easily affect the normal use of the steam generator. In the current use of steam generators, a support device is required to support the steam pipe.
[0003] An existing pipe support assembly for a steam generator (publication number: CN221839689U) has at least the following drawbacks:
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the positioning block and positioning groove are combined with a spring-driven fixing block to achieve quick alignment and locking, simplifying the installation process. However, the existing steam generator's outlet pipe is generally located at the top, while this component is installed on the side, making it unsuitable. Furthermore, when the steam generator has several outlet pipes, it is difficult to effectively support several gas inlet pipes, making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pipe support component for steam generators to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a pipe support assembly for a steam generator.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A pipe support assembly for a steam generator includes a steam generator body and a support assembly disposed on the top surface of the steam generator body for supporting pipes connected to the steam generator body. The support assembly includes several support bases, all of which are fixedly installed on the top surface of the steam generator body. A support arm is movably sleeved inside each support base. Several worm gear grooves are formed on the outer circular wall of each support arm. Support plates are fixedly installed on both sides of each support base. A worm is movably sleeved on the inner circular wall of each support plate, and the worm meshes with the worm gear grooves. A crank is fixedly installed at one end of the worm. A support frame is movably sleeved inside each support arm. A threaded hole is formed on one side of the support frame, and a threaded post is threadedly connected to the inner circular wall of the threaded hole. A clamping plate frame is provided on the inner circular wall of the support frame. Several first limiting holes are formed on the inner circular wall of the support frame, and the first limiting holes are movably sleeved with the clamping plate frame. A height adjustment assembly is used to adjust the support height of the connected pipe.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the height adjustment component includes: a plurality of second limiting holes, all of which are opened on one side of the support arm; a limiting groove is opened on one side of the support frame; a spring is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting groove; a limiting protrusion is fixedly installed on one end of the spring; and the limiting protrusion is movably sleeved with the second limiting hole.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two tension springs are fixedly installed on one side of the clamping plate frame, and the tension springs are fixedly installed on the inner circular wall surface of the support frame.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a protective pad is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping plate frame.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the protective pad has a double-layer composite structure, with an inner layer filled with a graphite woven tape layer and an outer layer of silicone protective sleeve.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a silicone tube is fixedly sleeved on the outer circular wall surface of the threaded column.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. By using the steam generator body, support base, support arm, worm gear groove, support plate, worm and crank handle in cooperation, the connecting pipes of the steam generator body are supported. The pipe support height, angle and clamping force can be adjusted in all dimensions. In addition, different numbers of connecting pipes can be supported on the top surface of the steam generator body, which is suitable for different installation situations and is quite practical.
[0015] 2. By utilizing the self-locking characteristics of the worm gear and worm wheel meshing, it ensures that there is no backlash after the support arm angle is adjusted, maintaining the stability of the pipeline support posture. When the pipeline transports high-temperature steam, the graphite braided tape layer inside the protective pad expands due to heat, further increasing the clamping force; the silicone protective sleeve layer effectively insulates heat and prevents damage to the pipeline surface coating. The silicone tube wraps around the operating end of the threaded column, increasing friction while preventing hands from being scratched by metal edges, thus improving operating comfort.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-6 A pipe support assembly for a steam generator includes a steam generator body 1 and a support assembly disposed on the top surface of the steam generator body 1 for supporting the pipes connected to the steam generator body 1. The support assembly includes several support bases 2, all of which are fixedly installed on the top surface of the steam generator body 1. Support arms 3 are movably sleeved inside the support bases 2. Several worm gear grooves 4 are formed on the outer circular wall of the support arms 3. It should be noted that although the worm gear groove 4 structure of this invention resembles a gear groove in the accompanying drawings, its design parameters, meshing principle, and functional effects are optimized for worm gear transmission scenarios. It is fundamentally different from the gear groove; support plates 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support base 2, and a worm 6 is movably sleeved on the inner circular wall of the support plate 5. The worm 6 meshes with the worm wheel groove 4. A crank 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the worm 6. A support frame 8 is movably sleeved inside the support arm 3. A threaded hole 11 is opened on one side of the support frame 8. A threaded post 12 is threadedly connected to the inner circular wall of the threaded hole 11. A clamping plate frame 9 is provided on the inner circular wall of the support frame 8. Several first limiting holes 10 are opened on the inner circular wall of the support frame 8. The first limiting holes 10 are movably sleeved with the clamping plate frame 9. A height adjustment component is used to adjust the support height of the connecting pipe.
[0027] In use, rotating the crank handle 7 drives the worm gear 6 to rotate inside the support plate 5. The worm gear 6 meshes with the worm wheel groove 4 on the outer wall of the support arm 3, causing the support arm 3 to rotate back and forth around the support base 2 as the axis. This allows for precise adjustment of the tilt angle of the support frame 8, ensuring that the pipe is aligned with the outlet of the steam generator body 1, thus achieving angle adjustment. Then, after passing the pipe through the annular structure at the top of the support frame 8, it is connected to the outlet of the steam generator body 1. After adjusting the pipe to the optimal position, manually hold the silicone tube 19 and rotate the threaded column 12. The threaded column 12 is pushed inward along the threaded hole 11, pushing the clamping plate 9 to move towards the outer wall of the pipe through the first limiting hole 10. The protective pad 18 on the surface of the clamping plate 9 (the inner graphite braided tape layer expands when heated to enhance friction, and the outer silicone protective sleeve layer prevents scratching the pipe) fits tightly against the pipe, achieving stable clamping. Repeated operation can quickly complete the support and fixation of multiple pipes.
[0028] In this embodiment, the height adjustment component includes: a plurality of second limiting holes 14, all of which are opened on one side of the support arm 3. A limiting groove 15 is opened on one side of the support frame 8. A spring 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner side of the limiting groove 15. A limiting protrusion 16 is fixedly installed on one end of the spring 17. The limiting protrusion 16 is movably connected to the second limiting hole 14.
[0029] In use, the limiting protrusion 16 is manually pressed to compress the spring 17 and fully enter the limiting groove 15, thereby releasing the limitation on the support arm 3. At this time, the support frame 8 can be lifted or pressed down to adjust its combined height with the support arm 3, so as to adapt to the installation position requirements of different pipelines. After adjustment, the limiting protrusion 16 is released, and the spring 17 rebounds to push the limiting protrusion 16 into the corresponding second limiting hole 14 to achieve height locking.
[0030] In this embodiment, two tension springs 13 are fixedly installed on one side of the clamping plate frame. The tension springs 13 are fixedly installed on the inner circular wall of the support frame 8. A protective pad 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping plate frame 9. The protective pad 18 has a double-layer composite structure, with a graphite braided tape layer inside and a silicone protective sleeve layer outside. A silicone tube 19 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circular wall of the threaded post 12.
[0031] When in use, the protective pad 18 on the surface of the clamping plate 9 (with an inner graphite braided tape layer that expands when heated to enhance friction and an outer silicone protective sleeve layer to prevent scratching the pipe) fits tightly against the pipe to achieve stable clamping. Repeated operation can quickly complete the support and fixation of multiple pipes. The silicone tube 19 wraps around the operating end of the threaded column 12, increasing friction while preventing the hand from being scratched by the metal edges, thus improving operating comfort.
[0032] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: Description:
[0033] When the user needs to use the steam generator body 1 and support the connected pipes, the following steps can be taken: First, manually press the limiting protrusion 16 to compress the spring 17 and fully enter the limiting groove 15, releasing the limitation on the support arm 3. At this time, the support frame 8 can be lifted or pressed down to adjust its combined height with the support arm 3, thereby adapting to the installation position requirements of different pipes. After adjustment, release the limiting protrusion 16, and the spring 17 will rebound and push the limiting protrusion 16 into the corresponding second limiting hole 14 to achieve height locking. Then, rotate the crank handle 7 to drive the worm gear 6 to rotate inside the support plate 5. The worm gear 6 meshes with the worm wheel groove 4 on the outer wall of the support arm 3, causing the support arm 3 to rotate back and forth around the support base 2 as the axis, thereby precisely adjusting the tilt angle of the support frame 8. To ensure the pipe connection port is aligned with the steam generator body 1's outlet, the pipe is then passed through the annular structure at the top of the support frame 8 and connected to the steam generator body 1's outlet. After adjusting the pipe to the optimal position, the silicone tube 19 is manually held and the threaded column 12 is rotated. The threaded column 12 is pushed inward along the threaded hole 11, pushing the clamping plate 9 to move towards the outer wall of the pipe through the first limiting hole 10. The protective pad 18 on the surface of the clamping plate 9 fits tightly against the pipe, achieving stable clamping. Repeated operation can quickly complete the support and fixation of multiple pipes, thereby achieving the effect of supporting the connecting pipes of the steam generator body 1. This achieves full-dimensional adjustment of the pipe support height, angle, and clamping force. Furthermore, different numbers of connecting pipes can be supported on the top surface of the steam generator body 1, making it practical for various installation situations.
[0034] 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 illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
