Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline installation technology, and in particular to a pipeline installation device for geothermal energy. Background Technology

[0002] Geothermal pipes, as the core carrier of ground source heat pump systems, play a crucial role in heat exchange between shallow underground geothermal energy (including heat energy from soil, groundwater, and surface water) and the building's indoor environment. Through a circulating working fluid (such as a water-based solution or an environmentally friendly antifreeze medium), a closed-loop heat conduction circuit is formed between the underground pipe array and the heat pump unit, achieving bidirectional energy conversion for winter heating and summer cooling. This combination offers significant advantages such as high efficiency, low emissions, and sustainable operation.

[0003] In current engineering practice, various specialized installation equipment has been developed for shallow geothermal pipeline laying operations. These devices generally employ a double-sided support structure in the trench, using a track-type suspension system to guide the pipeline smoothly lowered longitudinally along the trench, ensuring that the burial depth and spacing meet design specifications. However, traditional equipment, limited by the fixed support structure on both sides of the trench, must strictly follow the trench's axial extension direction, making vertical crossings across trenches impossible. This operational mode leads to frequent start-stop and reorientation of the equipment over long trenches, significantly increasing non-productive transportation time and consequently reducing overall construction efficiency.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose a geothermal energy pipeline installation device to solve the problem that existing installation equipment cannot operate across trenches, thus reducing installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a geothermal energy pipeline installation device to solve the problem that the installation equipment in the prior art cannot work across trenches, thus reducing installation efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a geothermal energy pipeline installation device, including: a movable frame, a trenching component, and a suspension component;

[0007] The mobile frame includes a frame body, and a number of omnidirectional wheels are provided at the bottom of the frame body;

[0008] The trenching assembly includes double-layer slide rails on both sides of the upper end of the frame. Each side of the frame is provided with a bracket. Each bracket passes through two symmetrical slide rails and can slide along the long side of the corresponding slide rail. Each bracket is provided with a base at its lower end. The base passes through the bottom of the bracket and can move vertically up and down along the bracket. A lifter is provided on the lower inside of the bracket. The lifter is used to control the lifting of the base.

[0009] The suspension assembly is used to suspend and smoothly lower the geothermal pipes.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting device includes a knob located in the middle of the bracket, and the lower end of the knob is connected to two screws via a timing belt, both of which penetrate the top plate of the base.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the base extends outward to form an H-shaped structure, and perforations are provided at all four corners of the base.

[0012] Preferably, both slide rails on the same side are provided with openings corresponding to the bracket and the opening directions are opposite. The upper end of the bracket is provided with outwardly extending protrusions on both sides, and the sidewall of the slide rail is provided with guide grooves that match the protrusions.

[0013] Preferably, each side wall of the frame is connected to a hook, and each bracket is connected to two sides with a hook that matches the hook.

[0014] Preferably, the suspension assembly includes a suspension machine located at the middle of the upper end of the frame, the suspension machine being connected to a clamp via a steel wire rope, the clamp being used to hold the geothermal pipe.

[0015] Preferably, the clamp includes a lower cover and an upper cover. The middle part of both the lower cover and the upper cover is set with an arc-shaped structure. Each of the four corners of the lower cover and the upper cover is provided with an interlaced extension block. A transverse limiting post is provided between the two side walls of the lower cover and the upper cover. The two limiting posts are extension blocks that penetrate the lower cover and the upper cover, respectively. One end of the limiting post is provided with a horizontal ring, and the other end of the limiting post is provided with a vertical pin.

[0016] Preferably, the limiting post has a U-shaped structure, and the extension block of the upper cover has a number of vertically arranged insertion holes that match the limiting post.

[0017] Preferably, Y-shaped blocks are provided on the middle of both sides of the inner top of the frame, and the two Y-shaped blocks are respectively located on both sides of the clamp.

[0018] As described above, the geothermal energy pipeline installation device disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By setting up a trench-crossing component, when the equipment is moved to the edge of the trench, the base can be moved to the other side of the trench by pulling the bracket close to the trench side. By rotating two knobs, the knobs drive two screws to rotate synchronously through a synchronous belt, controlling the base on both sides to descend, contact the edge of the trench, and lift the frame. The frame is then moved to the top of the trench by sliding rails, realizing the ability to cross trenches, reducing transportation time, improving the installation efficiency of geothermal pipelines, and avoiding the limitation of traditional equipment that must move along the edge of the trench.

[0019] Meanwhile, by setting up an upper cover and a lower cover, which are staggered, geothermal pipes of any size can be clamped. Then, two U-shaped limiting posts pass through the two sides of the upper and lower covers, and the pins are inserted vertically into the limiting posts to lock the second pipe, thus achieving the clamping effect on geothermal pipes of different sizes.

[0020] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value. Attached Figure Description

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a geothermal energy pipeline installation device, including: a movable frame 1, a trench-crossing component 2, and a suspension component 3.

[0039] The movable frame 1 includes a frame 10, and a number of casters 11 are provided at the bottom of the frame 10, which drive the frame 10 to move.

[0040] The trench-crossing assembly 2 includes double-layer slide rails 20 located on both sides of the upper end of the frame 10. Supports 21 are provided on both sides of the frame 10. Each support 21 passes through two symmetrical slide rails 20 and can slide along the long side of the corresponding slide rail 20. A base 22 is provided at the lower end of each support 21, passing through the bottom of the support 21 and moving vertically up and down along it. A lifting device 23 is located inside the lower side of the support 21, used to control the lifting and lowering of the base 22. When the equipment moves to the edge of the trench, the support 21 closest to the trench is pulled, moving the base 22 to the other side of the trench. The two lifting devices 23 control the lowering of the bases 22 on both sides, bringing them into contact with the edge of the trench and lifting the frame 10. The frame 10 is then moved along the slide rails 20 until it is directly above the trench, completing the trench-crossing operation. This structure facilitates trench-crossing operations, reduces transportation time, improves the installation efficiency of geothermal pipelines, and avoids the limitations of traditional equipment that must move along the edge of the trench.

[0041] Suspension assembly 3 is used to suspend and smoothly lower the geothermal pipes.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2The lifting device 23 includes a knob 230 located in the middle of the bracket 21. The lower end of the knob 230 is connected to two screws 231 via a synchronous belt. The two screws 231 have the same thread direction and both penetrate the top plate of the base 22. The two screws 231 enhance the stability of the base 22 during lifting. In use, rotating the knob 230 causes the two screws 231 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt, thus controlling the lifting of the base 22.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the base 22 extends outward to form an H-shaped structure, increasing the contact area with the ground and improving stability. The base 22 has perforations 220 at each of its four corners. In softer soil, a rod can be inserted through the perforations 220 and driven into the soil, improving the stability and practicality of the equipment and allowing for flexible adjustments to the fixing method according to changes in terrain.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 Both slide rails 20 on the same side have openings corresponding to the bracket 21, and the opening directions are opposite, so that the bracket 21 is connected to the two symmetrical slide rails 20. The upper end of the bracket 21 has outwardly extending protrusions 210 on both sides, and the side wall of the slide rail 20 has guide grooves 200 that match the protrusions 210. The guide grooves 200 are not connected to the openings. The bracket 210 and the guide grooves 200 cooperate to prevent the bracket 21 from falling off the slide rail 20.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2-3 Each side wall of the frame 10 is connected to a hook 13, and each bracket 21 has a hook 14 on both sides that matches the hook 13. When the bracket 21 is close to the frame 10, the bracket 21 is locked by hooking the hook 14 onto the hook 13.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The suspension assembly 3 includes a suspension machine 30 located at the upper center of the frame 10. The suspension machine 30 is connected to a clamp 31 via a steel wire rope, and the clamp 31 is used to hold the geothermal pipe. In use, the suspension machine 30 controls the raising and lowering of the steel wire rope to suspend the clamp 31 and the geothermal pipe and achieve a smooth descent.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4-5The clamp 31 includes a lower cover 310 and an upper cover 311. The middle part of the lower cover 310 and the upper cover 311 is set with an arc-shaped structure. The four corners of the lower cover 310 and the upper cover 311 are provided with intersecting extension blocks 312. The two side walls of the lower cover 310 and the upper cover 311 are provided with transverse limiting posts 313. The two limiting posts 313 are extension blocks 312 that pass through the lower cover 310 and the upper cover 311 respectively. One end of the limiting post 313 is provided with a horizontal ring, and the other end of the limiting post 313 is provided with a vertical pin 314. In use, place the lower cover 310 on the ground, insert the pipe into the arc-shaped groove of the lower cover 310, place the upper cover 311 on the upper end of the lower cover 310, so that the extension blocks 312 of the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 310 are interlocked, pass the two limiting posts 313 through the extension blocks 312 on both sides of the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 310, and then insert the pin 314 into the limiting post 313 to lock the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 310, thus completing the clamping and positioning of the geothermal pipe.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4-5 The limiting post 313 has a U-shaped structure, which improves the stability of the connection between the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 310. The extension block 312 of the upper cover 311 has several vertically arranged insertion holes 3130 that match the limiting post 313. The gap between the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 310 can be reduced according to the actual specifications of the second pipe, ensuring that the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 310 always maintain a clamping and locking function for the geothermal pipe. This structure facilitates clamping geothermal pipes of different specifications, improving practicality.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 Y-shaped blocks 15 are provided on the middle of both sides of the inner top of the frame 10, with the two Y-shaped blocks 15 located on both sides of the clamp 31. The clamp 31 holds the geothermal pipe and rises under the action of the suspension machine 30, so that the upper end of the geothermal pipe abuts against the two Y-shaped blocks 15, thereby improving the stability of the geothermal pipe during the movement of the equipment.

[0050] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0051] When the equipment is moved to the edge of the trench, the support 21 on the side closest to the trench is pulled, which moves the base 22 to the other side of the trench. By turning the two knobs 230, the knobs 230 drive the two screws 231 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt, controlling the bases 22 on both sides to descend, contact the edge of the trench, and lift the frame 10. The frame 10 is moved through the slide rail 20 to move the frame 10 directly above the trench. The suspension machine 30 is then started, so that the suspension machine 30 can smoothly place the geothermal pipe held by the clamp 31 into the trench for laying and burying.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
