Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of utility tunnel support technology, specifically to an internal support structure for an integrated utility tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous development of infrastructure construction, integrated utility tunnels, as a type of intensive and modern urban infrastructure, are widely used for the joint laying of various municipal pipelines such as electricity, communications, gas, heating, water supply, and drainage. Due to the limited internal space of integrated utility tunnels, and the need to support and secure pipelines of various types and weights, the design and installation of the internal support structure are crucial.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies used to support and fix pipelines inside integrated utility tunnels, such as traditional brackets, hangers, and clamps, often have certain limitations in design. They mostly employ non-modular designs, meaning that individual support components have relatively limited functions; for example, a bracket can only support a section of pipe, and a hanger can only suspend one piece of equipment. There is a lack of standardized interfaces and quick connection mechanisms between components. Non-modular components typically require extensive on-site cutting, welding, drilling, or the use of various sizes of bolts for fixing. This not only increases the complexity of installation and extends the construction period but also requires operators to possess high levels of professional skills and precision. When pipeline maintenance, replacement, or layout adjustments are needed, non-modular support structures are often difficult to disassemble quickly.
[0004] Therefore, an integrated utility tunnel internal support structure is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content
