Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engineering electromechanical installation and construction, and relates to a wiring system for equipment next to factory columns. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing technology and the arrival of Industry 4.0, many equipment manufacturing enterprises are investing in the construction of new factories or the intelligent upgrading and transformation of existing factories, aiming to improve production efficiency, optimize management processes, and gain a competitive edge in the fierce market competition. In this wave of intelligentization, the electromechanical installation engineering within industrial plants, as a key part of the infrastructure, is undeniably important. However, in actual construction, electromechanical installation engineers often face a thorny problem: how to efficiently and aesthetically arrange and manage numerous public pipelines.
[0003] Utility pipelines, as an integral part of a factory's lifeline, include power cables, water pipes, gas pipes, and various power lines. They act like the factory's circulatory system, ensuring the normal operation of production equipment. In traditional layouts, these pipelines are often laid along the factory's columns to various process equipment, using either ground-level or overhead installations. However, both methods have significant drawbacks.
[0004] While ground-laid pipelines are relatively simple to install, they significantly occupy factory floor space, affecting the efficiency of logistics vehicle traffic and potentially causing damage from frequent vehicle traffic, thus increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the intricate network of pipelines greatly impacts the overall aesthetics of the factory, leaving a negative impression on visiting clients or investors.
[0005] While overhead pipelines avoid occupying ground space, they resemble spider webs hanging above the factory, affecting its visual appeal and potentially interfering with cranes and other lifting equipment, posing safety hazards. Furthermore, maintaining overhead pipelines is more difficult, requiring scaffolding or aerial work platforms, increasing both the complexity and cost of maintenance.
[0006] To address this issue, underground pipeline layout has gradually become a common practice. Burying pipelines underground saves surface space and doesn't compromise the aesthetics of the factory building. However, in actual construction, laying out underground pipelines is not an easy task. Especially in complex environments such as machine shops, where multiple production devices need to be connected to each factory column, this places even higher demands on pipeline layout.
[0007] For example, a power distribution cabinet may require conduits to supply power to multiple devices. This necessitates a conduit layout that considers both power supply reliability and avoids interference between conduits. Similarly, a power pipeline may require multiple branch pipes to supply power to multiple devices, increasing the complexity of the pipeline and the difficulty of construction. In practice, interference between conduits and columns / foundations frequently occurs. Utility Model Content
[0008] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wiring system for equipment next to factory columns, which meets the usage requirements of multiple equipment connection pipelines next to the columns, and at the same time solves the problems of pipelines running on the ground affecting logistics and pedestrian traffic and being unsightly.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0010] A wiring system for equipment next to a factory building column, wherein several devices are arranged around the factory building column, and a fire hydrant and a power distribution cabinet are respectively arranged on both sides of the factory building column. The fire hydrant is used for water supply in the production process, and the power distribution cabinet is used for power supply to the equipment.
[0011] Several underground pipe trenches are installed on the factory floor. Each underground pipe trench connects one of the equipment and a factory column. The end of each underground pipe trench near the factory column is arranged in a U-shape or loop around the factory column. Each underground pipe trench is equipped with a stainless steel cover plate on its top surface.
[0012] Pipelines are placed in the buried trench, and the pipelines are used to connect the equipment to the fire hydrant and / or the power distribution cabinet.
[0013] Optionally, a gas compression device is also provided next to the column of the factory building. The gas compression device is connected to each piece of equipment through a power pipeline installed in the buried pipe trench. Compressed gas from the gas compression device is introduced into the power pipeline.
[0014] Optionally, a gas supply device is also provided next to the column of the factory building, which is connected to each piece of equipment through the gas pipeline in the buried pipe trench to supply gas to each piece of equipment.
[0015] Optionally, the upper surface of the stainless steel cover plate is flush with the ground.
[0016] Optionally, the factory building columns are provided with a foundation at their base, and the bottom surface of the buried pipe trench is higher than or flush with the top surface of the foundation.
[0017] Optionally, the buried trench is provided with several supports on its sidewalls, and the pipeline is installed on the supports.
[0018] Optionally, the sidewall is a concrete sidewall, and the bracket is an angle steel bracket.
[0019] Optionally, a passage is provided on the ground between the factory building columns and the equipment, through which maintenance equipment and logistics equipment pass.
[0020] Optionally, the pipeline includes cable trays and water supply pipelines.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] This system, based on the present invention, sets up logistics or maintenance channels and U-shaped or loop-shaped common pipeline trenches next to the columns of industrial plants, solving the problem of pipelines running on the ground affecting logistics and pedestrian traffic. It effectively utilizes underground space, avoiding the obstruction of logistics and pedestrian channels by traditional ground-laid pipelines, thus improving space utilization. It allows maintenance and logistics equipment to move smoothly through the overhead channels without being obstructed by complex ground pipelines, thereby improving production and logistics efficiency.
[0023] An innovative approach was proposed to address the issue of multiple process devices requiring connections from the same column edge by using a U-shaped or cross-shaped common pipe trench for flexible connectivity. This solves the problem of interference between pipelines and equipment and improves the flexibility and scalability of the pipelines.
[0024] The U-shaped or U-shaped arrangement of buried pipe trenches and pipelines around the factory columns, along with the stainless steel cover plates flush with the ground, creates a neat layout that makes the factory interior look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, facilitating centralized management and maintenance. Compared to overhead or ground-laid pipelines, this design is easier to manage and use, and is neater and more aesthetically pleasing, reducing costs associated with frequent maintenance and replacement.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-4This is a wiring system for equipment 2 located beside a factory building column 1. Several pieces of equipment 2 are arranged around the factory building column 1. Fire hydrants 3 and power distribution cabinets 4 are respectively located on both sides of the factory building column 1. The fire hydrants 3 are used for water supply to the production process, and the power distribution cabinets 4 are used to supply power to the equipment 2. A gas compression device 5 is also located beside the factory building column 1, connected to each piece of equipment 2 via a power pipeline 81 installed in a buried pipe trench 7. Compressed gas from the gas compression device 5 flows through the power pipeline 81. A gas supply device 6 is also located beside the factory building column 1, connected to each piece of equipment 2 via a gas pipeline 82 installed in the buried pipe trench 7, for supplying gas to each piece of equipment 2. The pipeline 8 includes a cable tray 83 and a water supply pipeline 84.
[0037] Several buried pipe trenches 7 are laid on the factory floor. Each buried pipe trench 7 connects a piece of equipment 2 to a factory column 1. The end of each buried pipe trench 7 closest to the factory column 1 is arranged in a U-shape or loop around the factory column 1. Each buried pipe trench 7 has a stainless steel cover plate 71 on its top surface, and the upper surface of the stainless steel cover plate 71 is flush with the ground. Pipelines 8 are placed inside the buried pipe trenches 7. The pipelines 8 are used to connect the equipment 2 to the fire hydrant 3 and / or the power distribution cabinet 4.

[0040] Example
[0041] This utility model applies to equipment 2 connected to a common pipeline 8 in industrial production plants. The distribution cabinet 4 is located on one side of a column 1, and the other side of the column 1 houses a fire hydrant 3, process water supply, and power media (oxygen, gas, compressed air, carbon dioxide, etc.). If the right-side distribution cabinet 4 needs to supply power to equipment 2 on both sides simultaneously, it can be connected to different equipment 2 locations via pipes buried in a U-shaped trench 7 around the plant's column 1. This ensures a clean floor and does not interfere with the use of the machinery factory. Figure 2 As shown, there is a fire hydrant 3 and a power medium interface on the left side of the factory column 1. If it is necessary to supply air to the equipment 2 on the right, it can also be laid to the corresponding air connection position of the equipment 2 through the U-shaped trench 7. All power media do not need to run through the workshop floor or the air. For the logistics channels 10 on both sides of the column, the trench cover is made of stainless steel cover plate 71 to ensure that the ground space meets the operation of automated logistics such as AGV, while ensuring the aesthetics and orderliness of the ground. Before setting up the trench 7, the number of pipelines 8 should be preliminarily planned to determine the size and cross-sectional dimensions of the trench 7.
