Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering monitoring technology, and in particular to a tool-free snap-on clamp device for monitoring underground pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] A clamp is a ring-shaped fastener used to fix or connect cylindrical objects such as pipes, utility poles, and steel structures. It is usually made of metal and consists of two or more halves that are fastened together with bolts. Clamps are widely used in power, communication, construction, and municipal engineering. They are easy to install, adjustable in tightness, and can adapt to different diameters. They can effectively withstand external forces and maintain structural stability, making them a common support and fixing component in engineering projects.
[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN215881370U" states that "this utility model discloses a clamp, including a skeleton, a clamp band, and a push rod. The skeleton has a hook and a threaded hole. One end of the clamp band is hinged to the skeleton, and the other end is used to hook the hook. The push rod is connected to the threaded hole, and a pushing part is provided at the end of the push rod near the clamp band. The clamp band and the pushing part are used to clamp the workpiece together." In use, the clamp band is used to hold one side of the workpiece, and the pushing part is used to push the other side of the workpiece. The clamp band and the pushing part together clamp the workpiece. When clamping the workpiece, only the push rod needs to be turned, without the need to turn too many bolts / screws, saving clamping time and labor. When using this utility model clamp, there is no need to set lugs on the two parting molds, saving the labor intensity of designers and processors. The clamp band is strip-shaped, and this utility model clamp can hold both cylindrical and prismatic workpieces.
[0004] However, most existing clamps are fastened with bolts. In actual use, bolt fastening requires manual operation with multiple tools for auxiliary fixing. Furthermore, the upper and lower clamps are often tightened by the squeezing force generated when the bolts are tightened, which can easily cause problems with the clamping strength and stability of the clamps due to stretching.
[0005] Therefore, we provide a tool-free snap-on clamp device for underground pipeline monitoring to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A tool-free snap-on clamp device for underground pipeline monitoring includes an upper clamp with reinforcing ribs on its outer wall and ribs on its inner wall. A clamp fixing assembly is located on the lower side of the upper clamp, comprising a lower clamp positioned below the upper clamp. Upper connecting plates are welded to both ends of the upper clamp, and racks are welded to the lower sides of each upper connecting plate. Lower connecting plates are welded to both ends of the lower clamp, and slots are provided on the inner sides of each lower connecting plate. A spring sleeve is welded to the center of the inner side of each slot, and a telescopic spring is installed inside the spring sleeve. Sleeve holes are provided at each of the four corners of the spring sleeve, and sleeve rods are installed inside each sleeve hole. Telescopic toothed plates are welded to the ends of the sleeve rods.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The reinforcing ribs are welded to the upper clamp, and there are two sets of reinforcing ribs and upper clamps.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The ribs are welded to the upper clamp, and the ribs and the upper clamp are evenly distributed. The ribs have a fine, raised structure.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The lower clamp and the upper clamp are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides. Both the lower clamp and the upper clamp are semi-circular structures, and the combined shape of the lower clamp and the upper clamp is a perfect circle.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The telescopic spring and the spring sleeve are connected by a through connection, and the middle position of the telescopic spring and the middle position of the spring sleeve are welded together. Telescopic tooth plates are welded to both the left and right ends of the telescopic spring.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The outer side of each telescopic toothed plate is connected to a toothed rack via a slot. The toothed rack and the telescopic toothed plate mesh with each other. Two sets of toothed racks and telescopic toothed plates are symmetrically arranged.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] The lower side of the spring sleeve is provided with a limiting groove, and a limiting plate is installed on the inner side of the limiting groove. Both the left and right ends of the limiting plate are in contact with the telescopic tooth plate.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] 1. This utility model uses a clamp fixing component. Since the lower clamp and the upper clamp have the same shape, they can be quickly and accurately spliced when they are connected, ensuring the compactness and stability of the overall structure and effectively improving the installation efficiency. After it is fixed, the limiting plate will be inserted into the limiting slot under the spring sleeve. Both the left and right ends of the limiting plate are in contact with the telescopic tooth plate, thereby preventing the telescopic tooth plate from rebounding during subsequent use and ensuring meshing stability.
[0022] 2. This utility model uses a clamp fixing component. As the upper clamp engages the rack under the upper connecting plate into the slot of the lower connecting plate, the rack will squeeze the telescopic tooth plate and mesh with it. During this process, the telescopic spring is compressed and generates elastic force, pushing the telescopic tooth plate to bite tightly, ensuring a firm connection, preventing loosening, and further improving the stability and safety of the overall structure. The two sets of racks and telescopic tooth plates mesh synchronously to form a double locking mechanism, which enhances tensile strength, ensures no displacement at the connection, and improves the durability of the overall structure.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tool-free snap-on clamp device for underground pipeline monitoring, including an upper clamp 1, with reinforcing ribs 2 on the outer wall of the upper clamp 1, and ribs 3 on the inner wall of the upper clamp 1. A clamp fixing assembly 4 is provided on the lower side of the upper clamp 1, the clamp fixing assembly 4 including a lower clamp 401 provided on the lower side of the upper clamp 1, and upper connecting plates 402 welded to both the left and right ends of the upper clamp 1. A rack 403 is welded to the lower side. A lower connecting plate 404 is welded to both ends of the lower clamp 401. A slot 405 is provided on the inner side of the lower connecting plate 404. A spring sleeve 406 is welded to the center of the inner side of the slot 405. A telescopic spring 407 is installed on the inner side of the spring sleeve 406. A sleeve hole 408 is provided at each of the four corners of the spring sleeve 406. A sleeve rod 409 is installed on the inner side of each sleeve hole 408. A telescopic toothed plate 410 is welded to the end of the sleeve rod 409.
[0031] Furthermore, the lower clamp 401 and the upper clamp 1 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides. Both the lower clamp 401 and the upper clamp 1 are semi-circular structures. The combined shape of the lower clamp 401 and the upper clamp 1 is a perfect circle. When needed, the lower clamp 401 and the upper clamp 1 can be quickly and accurately spliced when they are connected because of their identical shapes, ensuring the compactness and stability of the overall structure and effectively improving installation efficiency.
[0032] Furthermore, the telescopic spring 407 and the spring sleeve 406 are connected through-hole, and the middle position of the telescopic spring 407 and the middle position of the spring sleeve 406 are welded together. Telescopic toothed plates 410 are welded to both ends of the telescopic spring 407. When needed, as the upper clamp 1 inserts the rack 403 under the upper connecting plate 402 into the slot 405 of the lower connecting plate 404, the rack 403 will squeeze the telescopic toothed plates 410 and mesh with each other. During this process, the telescopic spring 407 is compressed and generates elastic force, pushing the telescopic toothed plates 410 to mesh tightly, ensuring a firm connection, preventing loosening, and further improving the stability and safety of the overall structure.
[0033] Furthermore, the outer side of the telescopic toothed plate 410 is connected to a toothed rack 403 through a slot. The toothed rack 403 and the telescopic toothed plate 410 mesh with each other. Two sets of toothed racks 403 and telescopic toothed plates 410 are symmetrically arranged. When needed, the two sets of toothed racks 403 and telescopic toothed plates 410 mesh synchronously to form a double locking mechanism, which enhances tensile strength, ensures no displacement at the connection, and improves the overall structural durability.
[0034] Furthermore, the rib 3 and the upper clamp 1 are welded together, and the rib 3 and the upper clamp 1 are evenly distributed. The rib 3 has a dense protruding structure. When needed, the rib 3 can form effective resistance at the contact surface between the upper clamp 1 and the pipeline, preventing the pipeline from sliding and improving the connection stability.
[0035] Furthermore, a limiting groove 411 is provided on the lower side of the spring sleeve 406, and a limiting plate 412 is installed on the inner side of the limiting groove 411. Both the left and right ends of the limiting plate 412 are in contact with the telescopic toothed plate 410. After it is fixed, the limiting plate 412 will be inserted into the limiting groove 411 under the spring sleeve 406, and both the left and right ends of the limiting plate 412 are in contact with the telescopic toothed plate 410, thereby preventing the telescopic toothed plate 410 from springing back during subsequent use and ensuring meshing stability.
[0036] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib 2 is welded to the upper clamp 1, and the reinforcing rib 2 and the upper clamp 1 are arranged in two sets. When needed, the reinforcing rib 2 can provide additional support to the upper clamp 1 to ensure structural stability and prevent deformation or displacement of the upper clamp 1 during the stress process.
[0037] Working principle: When needed, the upper clamp 1 and lower clamp 401 are tightened around the pipeline. Then, the upper connecting plate 402 and lower connecting plate 404 outside the upper clamp 1 and lower clamp 401 are connected by inserting the rack 403 into the slot 405. At this time, the telescopic spring 407 in the spring sleeve 406 uses its own elasticity to push the telescopic toothed plate 410 outward, thus engaging with the rack 403. As the telescopic toothed plate 410 extends and retracts, the sleeve rod 409 will also move synchronously in the sleeve hole 4. 08. The inner extension is then inserted, and the limiting plate 412 is inserted into the limiting groove 411 under the spring sleeve 406. Finally, as the upper clamp 1 is pressed downward, the rack 403 is further inserted into the telescopic tooth plate 410 to improve the clamping effect and achieve the best locking state. The rib 3 and the reinforcing rib 2 reinforce the clamp, enhance the compressive strength of the overall structure, and ensure that a stable connection can be maintained in various environments. This completes the use process of a tool-free snap-on clamp device for underground pipeline monitoring.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
