Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of steel pipe transfer equipment, and relates to a transfer device that prevents steel pipe wear. Background Technology
[0002] In the production, processing, and transportation of steel pipes, transshipment is often required. Currently, existing steel pipe transshipment devices involve direct contact between the steel pipe and the device's support structure during transshipment. Due to the weight of the pipe itself and the shaking and collisions during transshipment, surface wear is easily caused, affecting the quality and appearance of the pipe and reducing its performance and value. Furthermore, existing transshipment devices are not flexible enough and have low transshipment efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of actual production. Therefore, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this application was developed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a transfer device that prevents steel pipe wear, thereby solving the technical problems of easy wear and inflexible movement of transfer devices during the transfer of steel pipes in the prior art.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A transfer device for preventing wear on steel pipes includes a support frame. At least four casters are connected to the lower end of the support frame for moving the entire device. Support brackets and push handles are connected to both ends of the upper end of the support frame. Several support rods are connected to the upper end of the support frame, and several vertically arranged fixed columns are connected to each support rod. Shock-absorbing springs are placed on the outer walls of the fixed columns, located at the connection points between the fixed columns and the support rods. A protective sleeve made of soft rubber is fitted onto the outer wall of the top of each fixed column. A limiting structure for fixing the steel pipe is provided on the support bracket.
[0006] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the support frame serves as the basic load-bearing structure, and at least four universal wheels are connected to the lower end of the support frame, which enables the entire device to move flexibly on the ground. Whether it is horizontal translation or turning, it can be easily achieved, greatly improving the portability and adaptability of the device to various usage scenarios.
[0007] Several support rods connected to the upper end of the support frame, together with fixed columns, shock-absorbing springs, and protective sleeves connected to the support rods, form a shock-absorbing and protective system. When the device carries the steel pipe or is subjected to vibration during movement, preferably, the lower end of the shock-absorbing spring is connected to a damping block to absorb vibration. The shock-absorbing spring and the damping block work together to absorb and buffer the impact force generated by the vibration, effectively reducing the impact of vibration on the device and the steel pipe it carries. The soft rubber protective sleeve on the top of the fixed column not only prevents wear caused by direct contact between the steel pipe and the fixed column, but also further buffers external forces to a certain extent, protecting the inner wall of the steel pipe from damage.
[0008] The limiting structure on the support frame is used to fix the steel pipe. By limiting and constraining the steel pipe, it is ensured that the steel pipe is placed stably on the device and will not shake or slip during the movement or handling of the device, thus ensuring the safety and stability of transportation. The push handle makes it easy for operators to push the device, improving the convenience of operation.
[0009] Furthermore, the caster structure includes a caster body and a brake assembly, which is used to lock the caster body to facilitate fixing the transfer device when needed.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes two parallel limiting rods, the distance between which is adapted to the diameter of the steel pipe, which can effectively limit the lateral movement of the steel pipe during transportation and prevent the steel pipe from slipping.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the pusher is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve made of rubber material with anti-slip texture, which makes it easier for operators to push the transfer device and increases the comfort and safety of operation.
[0012] Furthermore, the support frame is welded from rectangular steel pipes, which has good structural strength and stability and can withstand the weight of the steel pipes.
[0013] Furthermore, the support rod is connected to the support frame by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and installation, and makes it convenient to maintain and repair the transfer device.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the protective sleeve is provided with several annular grooves, which are filled with cushioning sponge. The cushioning sponge contacts the inner wall of the steel pipe, further enhancing the protective effect on the steel pipe.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. A transfer device to prevent wear on steel pipes, wherein a protective sleeve made of soft rubber is provided on the top of the fixed column to effectively reduce direct contact and friction between the steel pipe and the fixed column, thereby preventing wear on the inner wall of the steel pipe; at the same time, a shock-absorbing spring provided between the fixed column and the support rod can absorb the vibration and impact generated during the transfer process, further protecting the steel pipe and preventing wear caused by vibration.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, the universal wheel structure provided at the lower end of the support frame enables the transfer device to move flexibly, facilitating the transfer of steel pipes between different workplaces; the brake assembly on the universal wheel structure can fix the transfer device when needed, ensuring operational safety.
[0018] 3. In this utility model, the limiting structure set on the support frame can effectively fix the steel pipe and prevent the steel pipe from slipping during the transfer process, thereby improving the safety and stability of the transfer; the anti-slip sleeve on the surface of the pusher increases the friction when the operator pushes the transfer device, making the operation easier and safer.
[0019] 4. In this utility model, each steel pipe is placed on several fixed columns, so that each steel pipe is placed independently, avoiding the problem of damage to the surface of the steel pipe caused by mutual contact. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] This utility model discloses a transfer device to prevent wear on steel pipes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a support frame 1, with at least four casters connected to the lower end of the support frame 1 for moving the entire device; support frames 2 and push handles 3 are connected to the two ends of the upper end of the support frame 1, and several support rods 4 are connected to the upper end of the support frame 1. Several vertically arranged fixed columns 5 are connected to each support rod 4. Shock-absorbing springs 6 are placed on the outer wall of the fixed columns 5, and the shock-absorbing springs 6 are located at the connection between the fixed columns 5 and the support rods 4. A protective sleeve 7 is fitted on the outer wall of the top of the fixed column 5. The protective sleeve 7 is made of soft rubber; the support frame 2 is provided with a limiting structure for fixing the steel pipe.
[0029] The swivel wheel structure includes a swivel wheel body 8 and a brake assembly 9, which is used to lock the swivel wheel body 8.
[0030] The limiting structure includes two parallel limiting rods 10, and the distance between the two limiting rods 10 is adapted to the diameter of the steel pipe.
[0031] The surface of the pusher 3 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve 11, which is made of rubber material with anti-slip texture.
[0032] The support frame 1 is made of rectangular steel pipe welded together.
[0033] The support rod 4 is connected to the support frame 1 by bolts 12.
[0034] The outer wall of the protective sleeve 7 is provided with several annular grooves, and the annular grooves are filled with cushioning sponge 13.
[0035] The specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: the support frame is welded from rectangular steel pipes, which has good structural strength; the lower end face of the support frame is connected to four universal wheel structures, each of which includes a universal wheel body and a brake assembly; when it is necessary to move the transfer device, the brake assembly is released, and the universal wheel body can rotate flexibly, driving the entire device to move on the ground; when the transfer device reaches the designated position, the universal wheel body is locked by the brake assembly, so that the transfer device is stably stopped in place.
[0036] The upper end of the support frame is connected to a support frame and a pusher respectively. The surface of the pusher is covered with an anti-slip sleeve made of rubber material with anti-slip texture. When the operator pushes the transfer device, the anti-slip sleeve can increase the friction between the hand and the pusher, preventing the hand from slipping and making the operation safer and more comfortable. Several support rods are connected to the upper end of the support frame. The support rods are connected to the support frame by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and installation.
[0037] Each support rod is connected to several vertically installed fixed columns. Shock-absorbing springs are placed on the outer walls of the fixed columns, located at the connection points between the fixed columns and the support rods. When the transfer device is subjected to vibration or impact during movement, the shock-absorbing springs can compress and deform, transmitting the generated vibration to the damping blocks, thereby absorbing the vibration and impact force and reducing the impact of vibration on the steel pipe. A protective sleeve made of soft rubber is fitted onto the outer wall of the top of the fixed column. The steel pipe is placed on the protective sleeve, which fits tightly against the inner wall of the steel pipe and has good elasticity and wear resistance, effectively preventing wear on the inner wall of the steel pipe.
[0038] The support frame is equipped with a limiting structure for fixing the steel pipe. The limiting structure includes two parallel limiting rods, and the distance between the two limiting rods is adapted to the diameter of the steel pipe. When transferring the steel pipe, the steel pipe is placed on the protective sleeve of the fixed column, and then both ends of the steel pipe are placed between the two limiting rods. The limiting rods can restrict the movement of the steel pipe in the lateral direction, prevent the steel pipe from slipping, and ensure the stability and safety of the steel pipe during the transfer process.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] This utility model discloses a transfer device to prevent wear on steel pipes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0041] In a steel pipe processing plant, finished steel pipes need to be transferred to the storage area. When using the transfer device of this utility model, the operator first pushes the pusher with anti-slip sleeve, and uses the universal wheel structure at the lower end of the support frame to easily move the transfer device to the steel pipe storage location. Since the universal wheel can rotate freely 360 degrees, it can turn flexibly and quickly reach the designated location even in narrow workshop aisles.
[0042] Subsequently, the operators placed the steel pipes one by one on the soft rubber protective sleeves on top of the fixed columns. The protective sleeves made full contact with the inner wall of the steel pipes to avoid direct friction. At the same time, the two ends of each steel pipe were respectively inserted between two parallel limit rods on the support frame to effectively prevent the steel pipes from sliding laterally during the transfer process. After the steel pipes were placed, the operators locked the casters with the brake assembly to ensure that the transfer device would not move arbitrarily during the handling process.
[0043] During the transfer process, the transfer device vibrates due to the unevenness of the workshop floor. At this time, the shock-absorbing springs between the fixed column and the support rod play their role. Through compression and extension, they effectively absorb the impact force brought by the vibration, preventing the steel pipe from violently colliding with the fixed column due to vibration, and further protecting the inner wall of the steel pipe from wear. Finally, the operators successfully transferred the steel pipe to the storage area. Throughout the process, the inner wall of the steel pipe remained intact, and the transfer efficiency was significantly improved.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
