Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline installation auxiliary technology, specifically an auxiliary device for modular pipeline installation in pipe racks. Background Technology

[0002] Modular installation of pipelines in utility tunnels is an efficient and safe construction method. It breaks down the tunnel structure into multiple modules, each prefabricated in a factory and transported to the site for assembly. The advantages of modular installation include: increased efficiency (reducing on-site fabrication work, with most tasks completed in the factory); reduced costs (factory prefabrication enables large-scale production); and guaranteed quality (the factory production environment is more controllable, ensuring the quality and precision of prefabricated components). During modular installation, auxiliary devices can be used to ensure the stability of the pipelines during installation.

[0003] Traditional modular installation of pipes in utility tunnels faces limitations due to the limitations of conventional measuring tools, making precise adjustments to the length, width, and height of individual pipe sections impossible. To address this issue, auxiliary devices are sometimes used in modular pipe installation in utility tunnels. These devices utilize top support ribs, guide rollers, and adjusting rollers, along with their connecting structures. The top support ribs support the pipes, while the guide and adjusting rollers can adjust the pipes' diameter, height, and length positions, allowing for precise adjustments to the length, width, and height of each pipe section, thus facilitating modular installation. However, this method suffers from increased wear on the top support ribs due to their direct contact with the pipes. Furthermore, the top support ribs are typically welded to auxiliary ribs, requiring complete replacement, which increases replacement costs and is inconvenient. Therefore, an auxiliary device for modular pipe installation in utility tunnels is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for modular installation of pipes in pipe racks, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems that not only increase replacement costs but also make replacement operations inconvenient.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary device for modular installation of pipelines in a pipe gallery, comprising:

[0008] A support base, and an auxiliary rib provided on the upper surface of the support base, with a top support rib added to the upper surface of the auxiliary rib, and guide rollers and adjusting rollers respectively provided around the top support rib.

[0009] A positioning post is set on the upper surface of the auxiliary rib, and a limiting hole is opened on the front of the positioning post and a positioning hole is opened at the bottom of the top support rib. A limiting post is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning hole, and a fixing post is installed at both ends of the limiting post.

[0010] A fixing plate is installed on the front and back of the top support rib, and a fixing rod is added to the outer side of the fixing plate. The end of the fixing rod penetrates the outer wall of the fixing plate and is inserted into the fixing column. A guide hole is opened on the surface of the fixing plate, and guide blocks are evenly installed on the surface of the fixing rod. A return spring is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod. The pipe is supported on the support base by the top support rib. The guide roller and adjusting roller on the support base can adjust the diameter, height and length of the pipe. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the top support rib is connected to the auxiliary rib, the positioning column first enters the positioning hole. A limiting column is inserted inward on the front of the top support rib, so that the limiting column moves along the limiting hole of the positioning column and the corresponding end of the limiting column moves to the back of the top support rib. The fixing rod is rotated on the fixing plate so that the guide block located on the outer side of the fixing plate corresponds to the position of the guide hole. The fixing rod is then placed on the return spring. Driven by the fixed plate, the guide rod moves along the fixed plate and is inserted into the fixed column. At this time, the guide block is located inside the fixed plate. Then, the fixed rod is rotated on the fixed plate to make the guide block and the guide hole misalign. When the top support rib and the auxiliary rib separate, they can be removed by reversing the connection steps. On the one hand, since the top support rib and the auxiliary rib are detachable, there is no need to replace the whole thing, which not only reduces the replacement cost but also facilitates the replacement operation. On the other hand, the positioning column, positioning hole, fixed column and fixed rod can ensure the stable connection between the top support rib and the auxiliary rib.

[0011] Preferably, a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame are respectively installed around the upper surface of the support base, and a fixing seat is installed at the bottom of both the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame. The first connecting frame and the second connecting frame are connected to the support base through the fixing seat.

[0012] Preferably, both ends of the guide roller are rotatably connected to the second connecting frame, and the guide roller is located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the second connecting frame. The guide roller rotates on the second connecting frame.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the adjusting roller are rotatably connected to the first connecting frame, and the adjusting roller is located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the first connecting frame. The adjusting roller rotates on the first connecting frame.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surface of the fixed base is rotatably connected to guide posts at both the front and rear ends, and alignment blocks are evenly installed on the surface of the guide posts. The guide posts can drive the alignment blocks to rotate on the fixed base, and the stability of the guide posts on the fixed base can be ensured by auxiliary components.

[0015] Preferably, the upper surface of the support base is uniformly provided with guide holes, and the top of the guide holes is uniformly provided with alignment holes. When the fixed seat is connected to the support base, the guide post is inserted into the guide hole, and the alignment block descends along the alignment hole. When the alignment block is fully inserted into the guide hole, and when the guide post can drive the alignment block to rotate on the fixed seat, the alignment block and the alignment hole are misaligned, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the fixed seat and the support base.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for modular installation of pipelines in a pipe gallery, which has the following advantages:

[0018] When installing pipes in the modular pipe gallery, an auxiliary device is used. To connect the top support rib and the auxiliary rib, the positioning column first enters the positioning hole. A limiting column is then inserted inwards from the front of the top support rib, causing the limiting column to move along the limiting hole of the positioning column and move its corresponding end to the back of the top support rib. A fixing rod is rotated on the fixing plate, aligning the guide block on the outside of the fixing plate with the guide hole. The fixing rod, driven by the return spring, moves along the fixing plate and is inserted into the interior of the fixing column. At this point, the guide block is located inside the fixing plate. The fixing rod is then rotated again on the fixing plate, causing the guide block to misalign with the guide hole. When the top support rib and the auxiliary rib separate, they can be removed by reversing the connection steps. Because the top support rib and the auxiliary rib are designed to be detachable, there is no need for a complete replacement, reducing replacement costs and facilitating the replacement process. Furthermore, the positioning column, positioning hole, fixing column, and fixing rod ensure a stable connection between the top support rib and the auxiliary rib. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary device for modular installation of pipelines in a pipe gallery, comprising: (see details) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 Support base 1, and auxiliary rib 8 provided on the upper surface of support base 1, and top support rib 2 is provided on the upper surface of auxiliary rib 8, and guide roller 3 and adjusting roller 4 are respectively provided around the top support rib 2.

[0026] Positioning post 9 is set on the upper surface of the auxiliary rib 8, and a limiting hole 10 is opened on the front of the positioning post 9, and a positioning hole 11 is opened at the bottom of the top support rib 2. A limiting post 12 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning hole 11, and a fixing post 13 is installed at both ends of the limiting post 12.

[0027] A fixing plate 14 is provided on the front and back of the top support rib 2, and a fixing rod 15 is added to the outer side of the fixing plate 14. The end of the fixing rod 15 passes through the outer wall of the fixing plate 14 and is inserted and connected to the fixing column 13. A guide hole 16 is opened on the surface of the fixing plate 14, and guide blocks 17 are evenly installed on the surface of the fixing rod 15. A return spring 18 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 15. The pipe is supported on the support base 1 by the top support rib 2. The guide roller 3 and adjusting roller 4 on the support base 1 can adjust the diameter, height and length of the pipe. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the top support rib 2 is connected to the auxiliary rib 8, the positioning pin 9 first enters the positioning hole 11. The limiting pin 12 is inserted inward on the front of the top support rib 2, so that the limiting pin 12 moves along the limiting hole 10 of the positioning pin 9 and the corresponding end of the limiting pin 12 moves to the back of the top support rib 2. The fixing rod 15 is rotated on the fixing plate 14 so that the guide block 17 located on the outside of the fixing plate 14 corresponds to the guide hole 16. The fixing rod 15 is then rotated by the return spring 1. Driven by 8, it moves along the fixed plate 14 and inserts the fixed rod 15 into the interior of the fixed column 13. At this time, the guide block 17 is located inside the fixed plate 14. Then, the fixed rod 15 is rotated on the fixed plate 14 to make the guide block 17 and the guide hole 16 misaligned. When the top support rib 2 and the auxiliary rib 8 are separated, they can be removed by reversing the connection steps. On the one hand, since the top support rib 2 and the auxiliary rib 8 are detachable, there is no need to replace the whole thing, which not only reduces the replacement cost but also makes the replacement operation easier. On the other hand, the positioning column 9, positioning hole 11, fixed column 13 and fixed rod 15 can ensure the stable connection between the top support rib 2 and the auxiliary rib 8.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 A first connecting frame 5 and a second connecting frame 6 are respectively installed around the upper surface of the support base 1, and a fixing seat 7 is installed at the bottom of both the first connecting frame 5 and the second connecting frame 6.

The upper surface of the support base 1 is evenly provided with guide holes 21, and the top of the guide holes 21 is evenly provided with alignment holes 22. When the fixed base 7 is connected to the support base 1, the guide posts 19 are inserted into the guide holes 21, and the alignment blocks 20 descend along the alignment holes 22. When the alignment blocks 20 are fully inserted into the guide holes 21, and when the guide posts 19 can drive the alignment blocks 20 to rotate on the fixed base 7, the alignment blocks 20 and the alignment holes 22 are misaligned, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the fixed base 7 and the support base 1.

Insert the guide block 17 into the interior of the fixed column 13. At this time, the guide block 17 is located inside the fixed plate 14. Then rotate the fixed rod 15 on the fixed plate 14 to make the guide block 17 misaligned with the guide hole 16. When the top support rib 2 and the auxiliary rib 8 are separated, the connection steps can be reversed to remove them. When the fixed seat 7 is connected to the support base 1, the guide column 19 is inserted into the interior of the guide hole 21, and the alignment block 20 descends along the alignment hole 22. When the alignment block 20 is fully inserted into the interior of the guide hole 21, and when the guide column 19 can drive the alignment block 20 to rotate on the fixed seat 7, the alignment block 20 is misaligned with the alignment hole 22.
