Abstract
Description
A tool for winding heat-tracing copper tubes Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical pipeline insulation technology, and in particular to a tool for winding heat tracing copper pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Due to weather conditions, chemical plants need to insulate their pipelines and equipment to cope with the harsh winter temperatures, with steam or hot water tracing being widely used. To achieve optimal heat tracing, copper pipe winding has become a common method. However, because the copper pipes need to be wound at appropriate intervals according to the medium temperature and cannot be loosened, pre-marking is required, and multiple people are needed for the work, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a convenient, labor-saving, and effective copper pipe winding tool for heat tracing. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat tracing copper tube winding tool with a simple structure and convenient operation, which can reduce the use of manpower, while ensuring the winding effect and improving work efficiency.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A heat tracing copper tube winding tool includes a winding tube segment with conductive connections at both ends. An arc-shaped winding groove is formed along the axial direction of the winding tube segment from one end to the other. An operating rod is provided on the side of the winding tube segment away from the winding groove, and the operating rod is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the winding tube segment.
[0006] Preferably, the winding tube segment is composed of two individual units.
[0007] Preferably, the operating lever can be slidably adjusted along the axial direction of the winding tube segment.
[0008] Preferably, each of the individual units of the winding tube segment extends upward to form a slide rail, and a U-shaped slide plate is slidably disposed within the two slide rails, with the operating lever disposed on the slide plate.
[0009] Preferably, the slide rail is provided with a connecting hole, and the two slide rails are connected by bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the connecting hole is a countersunk hole.
[0011] Preferably, ball bearings are slidably disposed on the symmetrical sidewalls of the skateboard.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the slide plate is provided with a sleeve with two conductive ends, and the operating lever is slidably located inside the sleeve.
[0013] Preferably, both ends of the operating lever are provided with limiting plates with a diameter larger than that of the sleeve.
[0014] Preferably, at least one end of the limiting plate is detachably connected to the operating rod.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: This utility model only requires the winding tube segment to be placed on the pipeline that needs to be heated, and then the copper tube is wound along the arc-shaped winding groove while rotating the winding tube segment. It can be operated by only two people, which greatly saves manpower compared with the previous purely manual operation that required five people. It also ensures that the copper tubes are laid at equal intervals, and eliminates tedious measurement, marking, and adjustment procedures, which greatly guarantees the construction quality and improves the construction efficiency. Attached Figure Description
[0016] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of this application;
[0017] Figure 2 is a side view of the skateboard in Figure 1. Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0019] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the copper tube winding tool of this utility model includes a winding tube section 1, which is made of stainless steel. Both ends of the winding tube section 1 are open to allow it to pass through to the outside of the pipeline requiring heat tracing. An arc-shaped winding groove 2 is formed along the axial direction of the winding tube section 1 from one end to the other. An operating rod 3 is located on the side of the winding tube section 1 away from the winding groove 2, and the operating rod 3 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the winding tube section 1. This allows the user to hold the operating rod 3 during operation and rotate the winding tube section 1 to complete the winding of the copper tube onto the pipeline requiring heat tracing.
[0020] Furthermore, the winding tube segment 1 is composed of two individual units, so that when both ends of the pipeline requiring heat tracing are connected to other equipment, and it is inconvenient to pass the winding tube segment 1 through one end of the pipeline requiring heat tracing; the two individual units of the winding tube segment 1 can be connected by bolts. In addition, in this embodiment, the operating rod 3 can be slidably adjusted along the axial direction of the winding tube segment 1, so that when the part of the pipeline requiring heat tracing is in a confined space during the copper wire winding process, and when the operating rod 3 is difficult to operate in the middle of the winding tube segment 1, the operating rod 3 can be slid to a place with more space at one end of the tube segment axis for operation, so as to avoid the situation where the diameter of the operating rod 3 is too large during the rotation of the winding tube segment 1, which may cause it to get stuck, thus enhancing the practicality of this utility model.
[0021] Specifically, each unit of the winding tube section 1 has an upwardly extending slide 4 at its top. A U-shaped slide plate 5 is slidably arranged in the two slides 4. A slider that slides in contact with the slide 4 is arranged on the inner wall of the U-shaped slide plate 5. The operating rod 3 is arranged on the slide plate 5. A connecting hole 6 is provided in the slide 4. The two slides 4 are connected by bolts. The connecting hole 6 is preferably a countersunk hole to prevent the bolt from protruding and affecting the sliding of the slider. In addition, the size of the connecting hole 6 is smaller than the size of the slider to prevent the slider from being obstructed in the slide 4.
[0022] Furthermore, ball bearings 7 are slidably mounted on the symmetrical sidewalls of the slide plate 5. These ball bearings 7 slide in contact with the slide rail 4, further reducing wear between the slide plate 5 and the slide rail 4 during movement. The size of the ball bearings 7 is larger than the size of the connecting hole 6 to avoid affecting the normal sliding of the slide plate 5. In addition, a sleeve 8 with open ends is provided at the top of the slide plate 5, and the operating lever 3 slides within the sleeve 8. This allows for adjustment of the length of the operating lever 3 extending to one end according to the size of the operating space, ensuring smooth rotation of the winding pipe on the heat tracing pipeline and reducing the limitations imposed by space constraints. Limiting plates 9 with a diameter larger than that of the sleeve 8 are provided at both ends of the operating lever 3 to prevent the operating lever 3 from falling out of the sleeve 8. The limiting plate 9 at at least one end is detachably connected to the operating rod 3, specifically by a threaded connection. For example, a screw is provided protruding from the end of the limiting plate 9, and a threaded hole is provided at the end of the operating rod 3, so that the operating rod 3 can be taken out from the sleeve 8, which provides convenience for subsequent targeted replacement of parts or storage. At the same time, the operating rod 3 can be removed by disassembling the limiting plate 9, which meets the usage needs in some narrow working conditions and enhances the practicality of this utility model.
[0023] In use, this utility model first places the winding tube segment 1 onto the pipeline that needs to be heated, and then the copper tube is wound along the arc-shaped winding groove 2. The winding is done while rotating the winding tube segment 1. The entire operation can be carried out by only two people. Compared with the previous purely manual operation that required five people, it greatly saves manpower and ensures that the copper tubes are laid at equal intervals. It also eliminates tedious measurement, marking, and adjustment procedures, which greatly ensures construction quality and improves construction efficiency.
