Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipe fixing, and in particular to a pipe clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Ventilation ducts or air conditioning ducts in building ventilation systems are equipped with pipe clamps. Pipe clamps are devices used to fix pipes to the building. One end of the pipe clamp firmly holds the outer wall of the pipe (or the outside of the insulation layer) to prevent the pipe from moving radially, rotating, or (in a fixed bracket) axially. The other end of the pipe clamp is fixed to the building by bolts and screws.

[0003] Most pipe clamps on the market currently fit together on the outside of the pipe, with bolts passing through the ear plates or flange holes on both sides, and then tightened with nuts. This method requires precise manual operation when clamping pipes, and the clamping process is slow, which is not conducive to the construction process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issues raised in the background art, this application provides a management card.

[0005] The pipe clamp provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A pipe clamp includes a connector fixedly mounted on a wall, one end of which is fixedly connected to a pipe strap. The connector and the pipe strap enclose a limiting space for limiting the pipe. The end of the connector away from the pipe strap is provided with a first insertion structure, and the end of the pipe strap away from the connector is provided with a second insertion structure. The second insertion structure and the first insertion structure form an insertion engagement.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the pipe can be limited by using connectors and pipes to create a limiting space, preventing the pipe from moving radially, rotating, or moving axially. The first and second plug-in structures form a plug-in fit. Compared with the method of using bolts to pass through the ear plates or flange holes on both sides and tightening with nuts, no manual fine operation is required, the clamping is faster, and it is beneficial to the construction process.

[0008] Preferably, the second plug-in structure includes a first plug-in block disposed at the end of the tube away from the connector, a first snap-fit ​​block disposed on the side of the first plug-in block, the first plug-in structure includes a first plug-in groove disposed at the end of the connector, a first snap-fit ​​interface disposed on the side wall of the first plug-in groove, the first plug-in block and the first plug-in groove forming a plug-in engagement, and the first snap-fit ​​block and the first snap-fit ​​interface forming an abutment engagement.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector is fixed to the wall, and the connector and the pipe form a limiting space to limit the pipe. At the same time, by using the plug-in cooperation between the first plug block and the first plug slot and the abutment cooperation between the first clamp block and the first clamp interface, the connection between the pipe and the connector can be quickly realized without the need to use bolts and nuts to tighten, avoiding manual fine operation, speeding up the clamping of the pipe, and facilitating the construction process.

[0010] Preferably, there are two of each of the first plug-in block, the first card block, and the first card interface. The two first card blocks are respectively disposed on the two first card blocks, the two first card interfaces are respectively located on both sides of the first plug-in slot, and an elastic rod is disposed between the two first plug-in blocks.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the two first plug-in blocks, the first snap-fit ​​block, and the first snap-fit ​​interface, as well as their distribution, can make the connection between the hose and the connector more stable; the setting of the elastic rod can increase the stability and elasticity of the connection, further ensuring the reliability of the hose and connector clamping the pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the first insertion structure includes a second insertion block disposed at the end of the connector away from the tube, the second insertion structure includes a second insertion groove disposed at the end of the tube away from the connector, the side wall of the second insertion groove away from the limiting space is provided with a second locking interface, the second insertion block is provided with a second locking block, and the second locking block and the second locking interface form a locking engagement.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when clamping pipes, the second insertion slot of the pipe strap is aligned with the second insertion block of the connector and inserted, so that the second clamping block and the second clamping interface form a clamping fit. This avoids the need for manual and precise operation of bolts and nuts when clamping pipes with traditional pipe clamps. The clamping is faster and facilitates the construction process. At the same time, the connector and pipe strap can create a limiting space to limit the pipe and prevent the pipe from moving radially, rotating or moving axially.

[0014] Preferably, a third plug-in block is provided at the end of the connector away from the second plug-in block; a third plug-in groove is provided at the end of the tube away from the second plug-in groove, a third locking interface is provided on the side wall of the third plug-in groove away from the limiting space, a third locking block is provided on the third plug-in block, and the third locking block and the third locking interface form a locking engagement.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the pipe clamp connector and the pipe are connected through the third plug block, the third plug slot, and the snap-fit ​​between the third snap block and the third snap interface, so that the pipe can be disassembled as a whole.

[0016] Preferably, the connector has a fixing hole for the screw to pass through, and the axis of the fixing hole is perpendicular to the side of the connector away from the placement space.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector is fixed to the wall with screws and fixing holes, which makes it easy to firmly fix the connector to the wall, thereby stably supporting the entire pipe clamp structure; making the axis of the fixing hole perpendicular to the side of the connector away from the placement space can ensure that the connector fits against the wall, further ensuring the overall stability of the pipe clamp.

[0018] Preferably, the side of the connector is further provided with a first slot and a second slot that engage with the screw. The openings of the first slot and the second slot are arranged in opposite directions, and the length directions of the first slot and the second slot are perpendicular to the length direction of the pipe.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector is engaged with the screw through the first and second slots, with opposite openings and the length direction perpendicular to the pipe length direction. This facilitates quick positioning and fixing of the connector and the screw, eliminating the need for manual fine operation and accelerating the pipe clamping process.

[0020] Preferably, both the hose and the connector are provided with protrusions for clamping the pipe on one side of the limiting space.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the protrusion on one side of the pipe and connector limiting space can clamp the pipe, preventing the pipe from moving radially, rotating or moving axially. This avoids the problem of slow manual operation when clamping pipes, which is beneficial to the construction process.

[0022] Preferably, the connector is also provided with a handheld part for easy installation.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, workers can operate the pipe clamp by hand when installing it, making the installation of the pipe clamp more convenient.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This application discloses a pipe clamp.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 A pipe clamp includes a connector 1 fixedly mounted on a wall. One end of the connector 1 is fixedly connected to a pipe strap 2. The connector 1 and the pipe strap 2 enclose a limiting space 3 for limiting the pipe. A first insertion structure 4 is provided at the end of the connector 1 away from the pipe strap 2, and a second insertion structure 5 is provided at the end of the pipe strap 2 away from the connector 1. The second insertion structure 5 and the first insertion structure 4 form an insertion fit. This structure makes the pipe clamp installation more convenient and faster, eliminating the need for the delicate operation of bolts and nuts as in traditional methods, thus improving the speed of clamping the pipe and helping to speed up the construction process.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The connector 1 is an important component for connecting the pipe clamp to the wall. The connector 1 is roughly elongated, with one end designed to be fixed to the wall. The pipe strap 2 extends around the pipe and together with the connector 1, forms a limiting space 3, which restricts the position of the pipe.

[0037] Reference Figure 1The first insertion structure 4 and the second insertion structure 5 are key components for achieving rapid pipe clamp installation. The second insertion structure 5 includes a first insertion block 51 located at the end of the pipe 2 furthest from the connector 1, with a first locking block 52 on its side. The first insertion structure 4 includes a first insertion groove 41 located at the end of the connector 1, with a first locking interface 42 on its side wall. The first insertion block 51 is generally cuboid in shape, made of PVC material, and is elastic, facilitating insertion into the first insertion groove 41. The first locking block 52 can be trapezoidal, made of PP material, and possesses a certain degree of elasticity and hardness. The first insertion groove 41 is a recessed groove at the end of the connector 1, its shape matching the first insertion block 51, with smooth walls for easy insertion of the first insertion block 51. The first card interface 42 is a notch opened on the side wall of the first insertion slot 41. Its size and shape are adapted to the first card block 52. When the first insertion block 51 is inserted into the first insertion slot 41, the first card block 52 can be inserted into the first card interface 42 to form an abutment fit, thereby firmly connecting the tube 2 and the connector 1 together.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 Two first insertion blocks 51, two first locking blocks 52, and two first locking interfaces 42 are provided. The two first locking blocks 52 are respectively disposed on the two first insertion blocks 51, and the two first locking interfaces 42 are respectively located on both sides of the first insertion slot 41. An elastic rod 6 is provided between the two first insertion blocks 51. When the two first insertion blocks 51 are inserted into the first insertion slot 41, manual force is applied to deform both first insertion blocks 51 towards the middle of the elastic rod 6. The elastic rod 6 is compressed, providing a certain elastic force. The first locking block 52 enters the first locking interface 42 along the inner wall of the first insertion slot 41. When the first locking block 52 is locked into the first locking interface 42, the manual force is released, and the two ends of the elastic rod 6 respectively apply a pressing force to the two first insertion blocks 51 against the inner wall of the first insertion slot 41, so that the first locking block 52 is stably located in the first locking interface 42, enhancing the stability of the locking between the first locking block 52 and the first locking interface 42.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 Both the hose 2 and the connector 1 are provided with protrusions 7 for clamping the pipe on one side of the limiting space 3. The protrusions 7 are continuous strip-shaped protrusions made of soft materials such as rubber or plastic, which can increase the friction with the pipe, better clamp the pipe, and avoid damage to the pipe surface.

[0040] Reference Figure 1The connector 1 has a fixing hole 8 for the screw to pass through. The axis of the fixing hole 8 is perpendicular to the side of the connector 1 away from the placement space, and its diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the screw to facilitate the screw's smooth passage. By passing the screw through the fixing hole 8 and fixing it with bolts, the connector 1 can be fixed to the wall, enhancing the stability of the pipe clamp. In addition, the fixing hole 8 can also be designed in an elliptical or other shapes to adapt to different installation requirements.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The side of the connector 1 is also provided with a first slot 9 and a second slot 10 that engage with the screw. The openings of the first slot 9 and the second slot 10 are opposite, and their length directions are perpendicular to the length direction of the pipe. Both the first slot 9 and the second slot 10 are slots opened on the side of the connector 1, and their shapes match the shape of the screw to hold it in place. The design of the opposite openings allows for selection based on different screw installation directions during installation, improving the flexibility of pipe clamp installation.

[0042] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: the pipe clamp's strap 2 and connector 1 enclose a limiting space 3 to restrict the pipe position. Utilizing the insertion and engagement of the first insertion structure 4 and the second insertion structure 5, a rapid connection between the strap 2 and connector 1 is achieved, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional bolt and nut installation methods and greatly improving the speed of pipe clamping. The protruding strip 7 increases the friction with the pipe, making the pipe fixation more secure; the fixing hole 8 and the first and second slots 10 provide multiple installation methods for the connector 1, enhancing the flexibility and stability of pipe clamp installation; compared to existing technologies, this pipe clamp greatly improves construction efficiency and meets the needs of modern construction projects for rapid and efficient construction.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The forms of the first insertion structure 4 and the second insertion structure 5 are different. The first insertion structure 4 includes a second insertion block 43 disposed at the end of the connector 1 away from the tube 2, and the second insertion structure 5 includes a second insertion groove 53 disposed at the end of the tube 2 away from the connector 1. A second locking interface 54 is provided on the side wall of the second insertion groove 53 away from the limiting space 3, and a second locking block 44 is provided on the second insertion block 43. The second locking block 44 and the second locking interface 54 form a locking engagement.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The second plug block 43 is square, and the second plug groove 53 is a groove opened at the end of the tube 2, the shape of which is adapted to the second plug block 43. The second card interface 54 is a through notch opened in the side wall of the second insertion slot 53. The second card block 44 protrudes from the second insertion block 43 and is elastic. When the second insertion block 43 is inserted into the second insertion slot 53, the second card block 44 is squeezed by the inner wall of the second insertion slot 53 and deforms towards the limiting space 3. After the second insertion block 43 enters the second insertion slot 53 to a certain depth, the second card block 44 is engaged in the second card interface 54, realizing the connection between the tube 2 and the connector 1. When it is necessary to release the engagement between the second card block 44 and the second card interface 54, a force is applied to the second card block 44 in the direction of the limiting space 3 through the second card interface 54, causing the second card block 44 to deform and bend towards the limiting space 3, so that the second card block 44 disengages from the second card interface 54, thereby releasing the engagement between the second card block 44 and the second card interface 54.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector 1 is also equipped with a hand-held part 11 for easy installation and hand-holding, so that construction workers can hold it when installing pipe clamps and operate it more easily.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A third plug-in block 12 is provided at the end of connector 1 away from the second plug-in block 43; a third plug-in groove 13 is provided at the end of hose 2 away from the second plug-in groove 53. A third locking interface 14 is provided on the side wall of the third plug-in groove 13 away from the limiting space 3. A third locking block 15 is provided on the third plug-in block 12, and the third locking block 15 and the third locking interface 14 form a locking engagement. The structure and function of the third plug-in block 12, the third locking block 15, the third plug-in groove 13 and the third locking interface 14 are similar to those of the second plug-in block 43, the second locking block 44, the second plug-in groove 53 and the second locking interface 54. Connector 1 of hose clamp is connected to hose 2 through the locking engagement of the third plug-in block 12, the third plug-in groove 13 and the third locking block 15 and the third locking interface 14, so that hose 2 can be completely disassembled. Hose 2 and connector 1 are separated. During installation, both ends of hose 2 can be locked into the two ends of connector 1, which will facilitate construction and installation.

[0049] The connector 1 is also provided with a mounting base 16 at the fixing hole 8 to facilitate installation with the C-shaped steel. The mounting base 16 is connected to the fixing hole 8 and can form a snap-fit ​​with the C-shaped cylinder and be fixed by bolts and nuts. The mounting base 16 can adapt to installation under different conditions and enhance the applicability of the pipe clamp.

[0050] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: through the cooperation of the second plug-in block 43 with the second plug-in slot 53 and the third plug-in block 12 with the third plug-in slot 13, the pipe clamp can also be installed quickly. This design of different plug-in structures provides more options for pipe clamp installation, and the handheld part 11 facilitates operation by construction personnel. It further improves the convenience and flexibility of pipe clamp installation, adapts to different construction scenarios, and also has significant advantages in improving construction efficiency. Compared with the traditional bolt and nut installation method, it is a great improvement.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
