Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil storage equipment technology, specifically to an anti-tilting and anti-rolling storage support for oil pipes. Background Technology

[0002] In the petroleum industry, oil pipes are key components for oil and gas exploration, extraction and transportation. The efficiency and safety of their storage management are of paramount importance. Most existing oil pipe storage supports adopt a frame structure, which uses beams and columns to build a support system and uses limit blocks or fixed slots to achieve the positioning and storage of pipes. These supports meet the needs of orderly storage and convenient access of pipes to a certain extent and are widely used in various oil pipe warehouses.

[0003] In actual use, existing storage racks are prone to tilting or even rolling when oil pipes are heavy and long, or when they are subjected to external disturbances, increasing the risk of damage to the pipe surface. In addition, the traditional rack structure is fixed and it is difficult to quickly adjust and replace the rack structure to adapt to different pipe materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage support for oil pipes that prevents tilting and rolling, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Because oil pipes usually have a large weight and length, they are prone to tilting or even rolling during storage and retrieval operations or when subjected to external disturbances, which increases the risk of damage to the pipe surface. In addition, the traditional support structure is fixed, making it difficult to quickly adjust and replace the support structure to adapt to different pipes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a storage support for oil pipes that prevents tilting and rolling, comprising a main support frame that provides an overall support foundation for the frame body, the surface of the main support frame being covered with a pipe anti-collision bracket, and the pipe anti-collision bracket supporting the oil pipes, the main support frame being the main connecting carrier for each component, used to support and position other components;

[0006] Both the main support frame and the pipe anti-collision bracket are arc-shaped structures. The surface of the main support frame is provided with a sliding groove that slides and connects with the pipe anti-collision bracket. The surface of the pipe anti-collision bracket is evenly covered with auxiliary balls. A base support plate is installed at the bottom of the main support frame and the base support plate is snapped into the extended base.

[0007] The anti-collision bracket for the pipe is equipped with side wall support frame one and side wall support frame two on both sides respectively. Each of the side wall support frame one and side wall support frame two has a limit bolt installed on the same side port. Each of the side wall support frame one and side wall support frame two has a connecting groove on the other side port. The upper end of the base support plate is symmetrically equipped with limit support arms, and a support hydraulic rod is installed inside the limit support arm.

[0008] The above technical solution, with its arc-shaped structure design of the main support frame and pipe anti-collision bracket, can closely fit the cylindrical shape of the oil pipe, providing a stable support surface and effectively limiting the rolling tendency of the pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the main support frame is penetrated by two connecting latches on each side.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pipe is subjected to external impact or tilting, the connection strength between components is enhanced, preventing the bracket from separating from the support frame and ensuring the stability of the entire support structure.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the main support frame is symmetrically provided with an auxiliary plate, and the auxiliary plate and the limiting support arm form a triangular structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary plate on the outer wall of the main support frame and the limiting support arm form a triangular structure. By utilizing the geometric stability principle of triangles, the deformation resistance of the support is effectively enhanced.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall surface of the first side wall support frame is provided with a groove, and the groove of the first side wall support frame fits into the protrusion shape provided on the surface of the second side wall support frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the concave-convex interlocking structure of the first side wall support frame and the second side wall support frame enables them to fit together tightly during assembly, thereby enhancing the lateral constraint capability of the side wall on the pipe.

[0015] Preferably, both the first side wall support frame and the second side wall support frame are configured in an M-shape, and the bottom ends of the first side wall support frame and the second side wall support frame are flush with the bottom end of the extended base.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the M-shaped design of the first and second side wall support frames and the structure that is flush with the bottom of the extended base not only increases the contact area between the side wall and the ground and improves the overall stability of the support, but also the M-shaped structure can provide support from different directions when restricting the tilt of the pipe, thus making the constraint on the pipe more stable.

[0017] Preferably, one end of the supporting hydraulic rod is engaged with the surface of the auxiliary plate, and the supporting hydraulic rod is inclined within the limiting support arm.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, when the pipe tilts, the hydraulic rod can actively adjust the support angle and lever arm through extension and retraction to compensate for the imbalance force in a timely manner and actively correct the position of the pipe.

[0019] Preferably, one end of the connecting latch is threadedly connected to the pipe anti-collision bracket, and the connecting latch is located above the auxiliary plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection between the locking buckle and the anti-collision bracket of the pipe forms an additional locking point above the auxiliary plate.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the anti-tilting and anti-rolling storage support for oil pipelines:

[0022] 1. By adapting the main support frame and the anti-collision bracket of the pipe to the arc shape, the pipe is fitted to the shape of the pipe. The curved surface distributes the weight and restricts radial rolling. The ball bearings are assisted to convert friction during loading and unloading. When stationary, the center of gravity is finely adjusted to enhance stability. At the same time, the arc structure and the ball bearings reduce the hard collision between the pipe and the support, reduce the risk of surface damage, and effectively protect the oil pipe.

[0023] 2. In this bracket, the sliding groove of the main support frame is slidably connected to the anti-collision support of the pipe. The support can be slightly adjusted along the arc to adapt to pipes of different lengths. The concave-convex interlocking, M-shaped structure and connecting groove of the side wall support frame one and the side wall support frame two facilitate rapid assembly and adapt to the layout of batch pipe storage. Through sliding, interlocking and expansion design, the bracket structure can be flexibly adjusted to quickly adapt to the diverse pipe storage needs.

[0024] 3. The base support plate engages with the extended base, increasing the contact area and lowering the center of gravity; the auxiliary plate and the limiting support arm form a triangular structure, utilizing geometric stability to resist deformation; the support hydraulic rod is tilted to dynamically compensate for imbalance forces and correct the position of the pipe; the connecting latch locks the position of the components, constructing a closed-loop anti-tilting system. The multi-structure collaboration enhances the stability of the support, resists external disturbances, and ensures the safety of pipe storage. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a storage support for oil pipes that prevents tilting and rolling, including a main support frame 1, a pipe anti-collision support 2, auxiliary ball bearings 3, a side wall support frame one 4, a side wall support frame two 5, a limit bolt 6, a connecting groove 7, a base support plate 8, an extended base 9, a limit support arm 10, a support hydraulic rod 11, an auxiliary plate 12, and a connecting lock 13;

[0034] Among them, the main support frame 1 provides the overall support foundation for the frame. The surface of the main support frame 1 is covered with pipe anti-collision bracket 2, and the pipe anti-collision bracket 2 supports the oil pipe. The main support frame 1 is the main connecting carrier of each component and is used to support and position other components.

[0035] Both the main support frame 1 and the pipe anti-collision bracket 2 are arc-shaped structures. The surface of the main support frame 1 is provided with a sliding groove that slides and connects with the pipe anti-collision bracket 2. The surface of the pipe anti-collision bracket 2 is evenly covered with auxiliary balls 3. The bottom end of the main support frame 1 is equipped with a base support plate 8, and the base support plate 8 is snapped into the extended base 9. The two sides of the main support frame 1 are respectively penetrated by two connecting buckles 13. One end of the connecting buckle 13 is threadedly connected to the pipe anti-collision bracket 2, and the connecting buckle 13 is above the auxiliary plate 12. The auxiliary plate 12 is symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the main support frame 1, and the auxiliary plate 12 and the limiting support arm 10 form a triangular structure.

[0036] Referring to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual Figures 1-6As shown, firstly, the extended base 9 is placed stably on the ground. Its wide bottom design increases the contact area with the ground and lowers the center of gravity of the support. Then, the base support plate 8 is snapped into the pre-set slot of the extended base 9. The two work together to form a stable load-bearing platform, distributing the load from above and preventing the support from settling or tilting. According to the length of the oil pipe to be stored, the main body of the support is assembled and adjusted. By sliding the pipe anti-collision bracket 2, it is moved to the appropriate position in the sliding groove to accurately fit the pipe length and ensure that both ends of the pipe can be effectively supported. The side wall support frame 1 4 and the side wall support frame 2 5 are installed on the pipe anti-collision bracket through the concave-convex interlocking structure. The two sides of the impact support 2 not only facilitate quick assembly, but also form a tight connection after assembly, enhancing lateral restraint. After installation, the limit bolt 6 is used to pass through the port on the same side to firmly lock the position of the side wall support frame, preventing displacement during use. At the corresponding side wall support frame 4 or side wall support frame 5 at both ends of the pipe port, a semi-circular plate is installed. This plate can be in the open state before the pipe is loaded, without affecting the pipe hoisting, by means of hinges or buckles. After the pipe is placed, it is closed to form an additional enclosure from both ends of the pipe, further restricting the axial movement and tilting tendency of the pipe, providing all-round protection for the pipe.

[0037] Side wall support frame 1 4 and side wall support frame 2 5 are installed on both sides of the pipe anti-collision bracket 2. Each of the side wall support frame 1 4 and side wall support frame 2 5 has a limit bolt 6 installed on the same side port. The other side port of each of the side wall support frame 1 4 and side wall support frame 2 5 is provided with a connecting groove 7. The outer wall surface of side wall support frame 1 4 is provided with a groove. The groove of side wall support frame 1 4 fits into the protrusion on the surface of side wall support frame 2 5. Both side wall support frame 1 4 and side wall support frame 2 5 are set in an M shape. The bottom of side wall support frame 1 4 and side wall support frame 2 5 are flush with the bottom of the extension base 9. Limit support arms 10 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the base support plate 8. A support hydraulic rod 11 is installed in the limit support arm 10. One end of the support hydraulic rod 11 is engaged with the surface of the auxiliary plate 12. The support hydraulic rod 11 is set in an inclined position in the limit support arm 10.

[0038] Referring to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual Figures 1-6 As shown, after the support assembly and adjustment are completed, the pipe loading operation begins. The oil pipe is lifted smoothly onto the support using lifting equipment and then slowly lowered. The arc-shaped structure of the pipe anti-collision support 2 perfectly fits the cylindrical shape of the pipe. At the moment the pipe contacts the support, the auxiliary balls 3 evenly laid on the surface of the support immediately play their role, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the resistance when placing the pipe, and enabling the pipe to be placed smoothly and accurately. The auxiliary balls 3 adopt a point contact design, and after the pipe is stationary, they can automatically adapt to the center of gravity of the pipe through slight displacement, further enhancing the stability of the pipe placement.

[0039] During pipe storage, if the pipes are affected by external factors such as hoisting impact or ground vibration, causing them to tilt, the triangular structure formed by the auxiliary plate 12 and the limiting support arm 10 will play a key role. Utilizing the stability principle of triangles, this structure can effectively disperse and offset lateral forces, maintain the overall shape of the support, and prevent the support from deforming due to pipe tilt. At the same time, the supporting hydraulic rod 11 senses the force changes of the frame in real time. Once it detects that the pipe tilt has caused the frame to become unbalanced, the hydraulic rod immediately activates the telescopic mechanism to actively adjust the support angle and lever arm, dynamically compensate for the unbalanced force, and correct the position of the pipes in real time to ensure that the pipes always remain stable. The connecting latch 13 passes through the main support frame 1 and the pipe anti-collision bracket 2, forming an additional locking point above the auxiliary plate 12 to further secure the relative position of the bracket and the support frame. The various structures cooperate with each other to build a closed-loop anti-tilting system, which comprehensively protects the safety of the pipes during storage. When it is necessary to unload the pipes, the hoisting equipment is operated to lift the pipes smoothly.

[0040] At this point, the auxiliary ball bearing 3 comes into play again, reducing the friction between the pipe and the support, allowing the pipe to smoothly detach from the support and complete the unloading operation quickly and easily. After the pipe is unloaded, multiple support units can be extended and connected using the connecting groove 7 on the side wall support frame according to subsequent storage needs, forming an array-type storage structure to improve the utilization rate of storage space. By adjusting the position of the anti-collision support 2 in the slide groove, the storage requirements of different specifications of pipes can be adapted again, realizing the flexible reuse of the support and increasing the overall practicality.

[0041] Working principle: When using this anti-tilt and anti-roll storage support for oil pipes, according to the length of the pipe to be stored, the anti-collision support 2 of the pipe is slidably adjusted to a suitable position using the groove on the surface of the main support frame 1. At the same time, the side wall support frame 1 4 and the side wall support frame 2 5 are assembled on both sides of the anti-collision support 2 through the concave-convex interlocking structure, and the position is locked with the limit bolt 6 to complete the overall assembly of the support. When loading the pipe, the oil pipe is hoisted to the top of the support. The arc structure of the anti-collision support 2 fits the cylindrical shape of the pipe, providing a stable support surface and initially restricting the rolling of the pipe. At the moment the pipe contacts the support, the auxiliary ball bearings 3 on the surface convert the sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing the resistance when the pipe is placed and making the pipe sit smoothly. At the same time, the ball bearings adapt to the center of gravity of the pipe through a small displacement, enhancing stability. After the pipe is placed, a semi-circular plate is added to close at the side wall support frame 1 4 or the side wall support frame 2 5 at both ends of the pipe.

[0042] During pipe storage, if external disturbances such as hoisting impacts or ground vibrations cause the pipe to tilt, the triangular structure formed by the auxiliary plate 12 and the limiting support arm 10 can effectively disperse and offset the lateral force, maintaining the overall shape of the support. At the same time, the supporting hydraulic rod 11 senses the changes in the force on the frame in real time, and actively adjusts the support angle and lever arm through extension and retraction to dynamically compensate for the unbalanced force and correct the position of the pipe. The connecting lock 13 passes through the main support frame 1 and the pipe anti-collision bracket 2 to further lock the position of the components, and works with each structure to build a closed-loop anti-tilting system to ensure stable storage of the pipe.

[0043] When the pipe needs to be unloaded, the pipe is lifted smoothly by the lifting equipment, and the auxiliary ball bearing 3 plays its role again to reduce the friction between the pipe and the support, making it easier to remove the pipe. After the pipe is unloaded, it can be connected to other support units by using the connecting slot 7 according to subsequent storage needs, or the position of the pipe anti-collision support 2 can be adjusted to accommodate the storage of pipes of different specifications, increasing the overall practicality.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
