Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline positioning technology, and in particular to a pipeline positioning tool. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, or air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and airflow rate of the air inside a building. Most utilize refrigerant, which evaporates or condenses under the action of a compressor, thereby causing the surrounding air to evaporate or condense, thus changing the temperature and humidity. During air conditioner installation, if the air conditioning pipes are incompatible with the building's location, it may be necessary to extend the pipes or reduce the number of units. This requires welding the air conditioning pipes. During welding, the pipes need to be positioned and aligned, but current technology lacks the necessary pipe positioning fixtures to address the inconvenience of welding.

[0003] Publication No. CN218096265U discloses an air conditioning pipe positioning fixture, which includes a rod housing. A first bearing is embedded in the right side of the rod housing, and a lead screw is installed inside the first bearing. A handle is fixed to the right end of the lead screw, and the left end of the lead screw is located inside a threaded groove, which is located on the right side of a tightening rod. The tightening rod passes through the left end of the rod housing. Positioning plates are fixed to both the tightening rod and the side wall of the rod housing. A pipe groove is formed on the left side inside the positioning plate, and a bolt groove is formed on the left side of the top of the positioning plate. A butterfly bolt is installed in the bolt groove, and the bottom end of the butterfly bolt is located inside the pipe groove. This utility model, through this positioning fixture, facilitates the rapid connection of two sets of air conditioning pipes, thereby forming a rapid positioning clamp for the air conditioning pipes to be welded, greatly improving the convenience of subsequent pipe welding while ensuring the quality of pipe welding.

[0004] The existing cooling water pipe positioning fixture is inconvenient to use, cannot be adjusted according to different cooling water pipes, and cannot meet different usage needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of existing cooling water pipe positioning fixtures, such as inconvenience in use, inability to adjust the positioning according to different cooling water pipes, and inability to meet different usage needs, and to propose a pipe positioning fixture.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A pipeline positioning fixture, comprising:

[0008] The base plate has multiple octagonal holes on its top.

[0009] The outrigger mechanism consists of four legs, evenly installed at the four bottom corners of the base plate;

[0010] Multiple support plate mechanisms are installed on the top of the base plate and are adapted to multiple octagonal holes;

[0011] The cooling water inlet pipe is positioned and supported by multiple support plate mechanisms.

[0012] Preferably, the support leg mechanism includes a rectangular leg, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate. A telescopic groove is provided at the bottom of the rectangular leg, and a telescopic leg is slidably installed within the telescopic groove. An anti-slip pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic leg. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the outer side of the rectangular leg, and an elliptical handle is fixedly installed at the outer end of the threaded rod. Multiple positioning grooves are provided on the outer side of the telescopic leg, and the threaded rod extends into the telescopic groove and matches the positioning groove. By sequentially rotating the four elliptical handles, the four threaded rods are released, disengaging them from their corresponding positioning grooves and releasing the fixation between the telescopic leg and the rectangular leg. By adjusting the telescopic length of the telescopic leg and the rectangular leg, the support height of the base plate can be adjusted.

[0013] Preferably, the support plate mechanism includes an octagonal rod that is adapted to an octagonal hole. A first support plate is fixedly installed on the top of the octagonal rod. An adjustment groove is provided on the top of the first support plate. A second support plate is slidably installed in the adjustment groove. A pipe clamp is provided on the top of the second support plate. The cooling water inlet pipe is clamped to the pipe clamp.

[0014] Preferably, locking grooves are provided on both sides of the second support plate, and bolts are threadedly connected to both sides of the first support plate. The two bolts are adapted to the two locking grooves, and a handle is fixedly installed on the outside of the bolts.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the octagonal rod is provided with an arc-shaped surface to facilitate the insertion of the octagonal rod into the octagonal hole.

[0016] Preferably, the pipe clamps on the multiple second support plates have different diameters, and the cooling water inlet pipe is connected to multiple branch pipes, which are adapted to the smaller diameter pipe clamps.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] First, the octagonal hole on the base plate and the octagonal rod of the support plate mechanism in this solution adopt an octagonal structure, which allows the first and second support plates to rotate 360° to adjust their angles during installation, thereby adapting to the bending path of the cooling water pipe and avoiding the angle fixation limitation of the traditional circular hole / rod structure.

[0019] The support plate's adjustment and locking groove design, combined with bolt locking, allows for free adjustment of the second support plate's height (e.g., matching the height difference between branch pipes and main pipes), improving adaptability to different pipeline layouts.

[0020] Secondly, the telescopic groove and positioning groove of the outrigger mechanism are locked together with the threaded rod, supporting multi-level precise adjustment of the base plate height (e.g., the adjustment range can reach 50-200mm), suitable for scenarios with uneven ground or where obstacles need to be avoided. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber or polyurethane material to increase the friction of the contact surface and prevent the tooling from sliding; at the same time, the nested structure of the telescopic leg and the rectangular leg enhances the overall rigidity and avoids swaying under load.

[0021] Third, by configuring pipe clamps with different inner diameters (e.g., 100mm diameter clamp for main pipe and 50mm diameter clamp for branch pipe), both main and branch pipes can be supported simultaneously, avoiding frequent tooling changes due to differences in pipe diameter. The arc-shaped surface design at the bottom of the octagonal rod reduces the difficulty of alignment when inserting into the octagonal hole, making it especially suitable for confined spaces or blind operation scenarios.

[0022] Fourth, the tooling adopts a weld-free assembly structure, requiring only manual tightening of bolts and handles to complete installation, without the need for special tools, and can be operated by a single person. The branch pipe support uses a combination of small-diameter bayonet and bolt locking, and even if the branch pipe is slightly deformed, it can be stably fixed by adjusting the height of the second support plate.

[0023] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The pipeline positioning fixture achieves precise positioning support for complex cooling water pipe systems through core designs such as octagonal angle adjustment, modular expansion, and multi-level height locking, and can meet the positioning needs of cooling water pipes of different sizes.

The top of the base plate 1 has multiple octagonal holes 11. There are four leg mechanisms 2, which are evenly installed at the four bottom corners of the base plate 1. The multiple support plate mechanisms 3 are installed on the top of the base plate 1 and are adapted to the multiple octagonal holes 11. The cooling water inlet pipe 4 is positioned and supported by the multiple support plate mechanisms 3.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 In this embodiment, the support leg mechanism 2 includes a rectangular leg 21, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 1. A telescopic groove 27 is provided at the bottom of the rectangular leg 21, and a telescopic leg 22 is slidably installed in the telescopic groove 27. An anti-slip pad 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic leg 22. A threaded rod 26 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the rectangular leg 21, and an elliptical handle 24 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the threaded rod 26. Multiple positioning grooves 25 are provided on the outer side of the telescopic leg 22. The threaded rod 26 extends into the telescopic groove 27 and is adapted to the positioning groove 25. By rotating the four elliptical handles 24 in sequence, the four threaded rods 26 are released, and the threaded rods 26 leave the corresponding positioning grooves 25, thus releasing the fixation between the telescopic leg 22 and the rectangular leg 21. By adjusting the telescopic length of the telescopic leg 22 and the rectangular leg 21, the support height of the base plate 1 can be adjusted.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5In this embodiment, the support plate mechanism 3 includes an octagonal rod 31, which is adapted to an octagonal hole 11. A first support plate 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the octagonal rod 31. An adjustment groove 37 is provided on the top of the first support plate 32. A second support plate 34 is slidably installed in the adjustment groove 37. A pipe clamp 36 is provided on the top of the second support plate 34. The cooling water inlet pipe 4 is clamped to the pipe clamp 36.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, locking grooves 35 are provided on both sides of the second support plate 34, and bolts 33 are threadedly connected to both sides of the first support plate 32. The two bolts 33 are adapted to the two locking grooves 35. A handle is fixedly installed on the outside of the bolts 33. An arc-shaped surface 311 is provided at the bottom of the octagonal rod 31 to facilitate the insertion of the octagonal rod 31 into the octagonal hole 11.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, the pipe clamps 36 on the multiple second support plates 34 have different diameters, and the cooling water inlet pipe 4 is connected to multiple branch pipes 41, which are adapted to the smaller diameter pipe clamps 36.

[0040] Operating method: During use, observe the size and curvature of the cooling water inlet pipe 4. Install multiple support plate mechanisms 3 on the top of the base plate 1. Specifically, insert the octagonal rod 31 into the octagonal hole 11. Since both the octagonal hole 11 and the octagonal rod 31 are octagonal structures, the support angles of the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34 can be adjusted to easily clamp the cooling water inlet pipe 4 into the pipe clamp 36. Increase the number of support plate mechanisms 3 as needed, and then support the branch pipe 41. Similarly, install the support plate mechanisms 3, then loosen the two bolts 33, adjust the height of the second support plate 34 and then tighten it. Support and clamp the branch pipe 41 through the smaller pipe clamp 36. The height of the base plate 1 can be adjusted. Rotate the four elliptical handles 24 in sequence to loosen the four threaded rods 26. The threaded rods 26 leave the corresponding positioning grooves 25, releasing the fixation between the telescopic leg 22 and the rectangular leg 21. By adjusting the telescopic length of the telescopic leg 22 and the rectangular leg 21, the support height of the base plate 1 can be adjusted.

[0042] In this embodiment, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that a magnet plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 1, and the magnet plate covers the position of all octagonal holes 11. When the octagonal rod 31 is inserted into the octagonal hole 11, the magnet plate attracts the octagonal rod 31, thereby improving the stability of the 3 installed on the 1. All structures in this application can be selected in terms of material and length according to actual use. The attached drawings are schematic structural diagrams, and the actual dimensions can be adjusted appropriately.
