Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline construction technology, and in particular to an auxiliary equipment for the transportation and installation of building pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the construction industry, the installation and transportation of large-diameter and long metal or non-metal pipelines inevitably involves transferring and transporting these pipelines to ensure construction safety, quality, and smooth progress. Furthermore, some construction processes require pipeline beveling, pipe joining, and painting, necessitating the use of supports for the pipelines. While large-scale pipeline transfers are currently handled by vehicle, smaller-scale, batch transfers (such as moving pipelines from storage points to installation points) are mostly done manually using trolleys. This process suffers from poor pipeline stability, requiring workers to hold the pipelines during transport, resulting in high labor intensity, slow transport, and the risk of pipeline slippage and damage, leading to ineffective transfers and potential safety hazards. For situations requiring pipeline support, simple welding fixtures are currently used, which suffer from poor usability and slow construction efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated auxiliary equipment for the transportation and installation of building pipelines to solve the various challenges of fast, convenient, and safe pipeline transportation in complex construction environments and limited working spaces.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN201911106224.X discloses a pipe transportation and socket installation device and its usage method in confined spaces. The device includes a pipe propulsion mechanism and a support adjustment mechanism. The pipe propulsion mechanism includes a front support frame that can be installed at the front end of the pipe, a rear support frame that can be installed in a sleeve located at the rear end of the pipe, and a support trolley located at the lower front end of the pipe. The support adjustment mechanism includes a support adjustment frame that can be installed inside the pipe with its cantilever extending beyond the rear end of the pipe, and a roundness adjustment rod that can round the pipe. This invention provides a pipe transportation and socket installation device in confined spaces, which, due to the above structure, achieves the transportation and connection of pipes in confined spaces without damaging the pipe surface. While the aforementioned patent enables the transportation and transfer of pipes in confined spaces, its construction implementation is not convenient, its scalability is poor, and its application is limited. It cannot meet the needs of conveniently transporting large-diameter and long building pipes from the storage point to the installation point and assisting in installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an auxiliary equipment for the transportation and installation of building pipelines, which reduces labor intensity and facilitates the transportation of building pipelines, while providing support and assistance for the installation of building pipelines, thereby improving the efficiency of building pipeline installation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses a construction pipeline transportation and installation auxiliary equipment, including at least two towing trolleys. Each towing trolley includes a frame, with rotatable wheels rotatably mounted on both rear sides of the frame, the wheels being arranged opposite each other. A self-locking swivel wheel is mounted on the front end of the frame. A pipeline placement groove is mounted on the top of the frame, the top surface of which is curved. The frame is equipped with a pipeline fixing mechanism, which includes fastening structures arranged opposite each other on both sides of the pipeline placement groove. The fastening structures include a support rod, a screw, a top plate, and an arc-shaped clamping plate. The support rod is vertically mounted on the frame, and its upper end has a screw hole that mates with the screw. The back of the arc-shaped clamping plate has a receiving chamber with a through hole that mates with the screw. The top plate is housed within the receiving chamber, the through hole being smaller than the top plate. The fixed end of the screw sequentially spirals through the screw hole, slides through the through hole, and is fixedly connected to the top plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the other end of the screw opposite its fixed end.

[0008] Furthermore, a traction rod is provided at the front end of the frame, and a handle is provided at the free end of the traction rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a warning light and a headlight are provided at the rear end of the vehicle frame.

[0010] Furthermore, an extension connecting rod is provided between adjacent trolleys.

[0011] Furthermore, the center lines of the screw, the screw hole, the through hole, the top plate, and the arc-shaped clamping plate are collinear.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The auxiliary equipment for transporting and installing construction pipelines of this application has movable wheels rotatably installed on both sides of the rear end of the trolley frame, and self-locking universal wheels installed on the front end of the frame. The three-wheeled trolley structure of the self-locking universal wheels at the front end and the two movable wheels at the rear end is used for stable support and movement. The self-locking universal wheels are used for flexible steering when turning during movement. A pipe placement groove with an arc-shaped top surface is installed on the frame of the trolley. Two fastening structures are installed opposite each other on both sides of the pipe placement groove to form a pipe fixing mechanism. The fastening structure consists of a support rod, a screw, a top plate, and an arc-shaped clamping plate. The support rod is installed on the frame. The fixed end of the screw spirally passes through the screw hole opened at the upper end of the support rod, slides through the through hole opened in the receiving chamber, and is fixedly connected to the top plate. The size of the through hole is smaller than the size of the top plate. When transporting building pipes, place the pipes in the pipe placement groove, ensuring the bottom wall of the pipe is flush with the curved surface of the groove's top. Rotate the screws on both sides of the groove clockwise, causing two curved clamping plates to move closer to the pipes and press against the pipe's sidewalls. Continue rotating the screws clockwise until the top plates at the fixed ends of the screws align with the back of the corresponding curved clamping plates. Tighten the screws, pressing the top plates against the back of the corresponding curved clamping plates. The two curved clamping plates then press against the sidewalls of the pipes, securing them firmly to the groove. The upper curved plates of the clamping plates also restrict and limit the upward movement of the pipes, preventing them from sliding out. This system stabilizes building pipes, ensuring they are securely fixed in the pipe placement groove. Repeating the forward rotation of the screws on both sides of the groove clamps the pipes, securing them firmly to the remaining groove. Once clamped, the transport trolley can be pulled to move the pipes to the installation location. After arrival, the corresponding screws are rotated in the reverse direction to separate the curved clamping plate from the pipe's side wall, allowing for pipe removal. During transport, workers do not need to support the pipes, reducing labor intensity. The secure clamping structure prevents pipe slippage and damage, avoiding injury to surrounding personnel. This method offers superior transport efficiency and safety, facilitating rapid transfer of pipes from storage to installation points. When beveling, joining, or painting is required, the pipes can be placed in the pipe placement groove of this transport and installation auxiliary equipment. This provides support and assistance during installation, improving overall efficiency. In summary, the auxiliary equipment for building pipeline transportation and installation of this application is particularly suitable for the transportation and installation of metal or non-metal building pipelines with large diameters and long lengths. It reduces labor intensity, facilitates convenient and safe transportation of building pipelines, and provides support and assistance for building pipeline installation, thereby improving the efficiency of building pipeline installation.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the auxiliary equipment for transporting and installing building pipelines of this utility model includes at least two towing trolleys 1. Each towing trolley 1 includes a frame 101. Rotary casters 102 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the rear end of the frame 101, with the casters 102 facing each other. Self-locking casters 103 are mounted on the front end of the frame 101. A pipe placement groove 2 is mounted on the top of the frame 101, with the top surface of the pipe placement groove 2 being curved. The frame 101 is equipped with a pipe fixing mechanism, which includes fastening structures 4 positioned opposite each other on both sides of the pipe placement groove 2. Each fastening structure 4 includes a support rod 4. 03. Screw 402, top plate 405, and arc-shaped clamping plate 404. The support rod 403 is vertically arranged on the frame 101. The upper end of the support rod 403 has a screw hole that mates with the screw 402. The back of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 has a receiving chamber 406. The receiving chamber 406 has a through hole that mates with the screw 402. The top plate 405 is housed in the receiving chamber 406. The size of the through hole is smaller than the size of the top plate 405. The fixed end of the screw 402 spirals through the screw hole and slides through the through hole to be fixedly connected to the top plate 405. The system utilizes at least two towing trolleys 1, such as two, three, or four trolleys 1. When transporting a long building pipe 8, two towing trolleys 1 can be used. If the building pipe 8 is excessively long, three towing trolleys 1 can be used, one at the front, one at the rear, and one in the middle, to prevent the building pipe 8 from bending. The moving wheels 102 are rotatably connected to the frame 101 using existing bearings and shafts. The self-locking casters 103 are locked and unlocked by pressing and lifting the brake plate. The pipe placement slot 2 can be welded to the top of the frame 101. The pipe placement slot 2 is V-shaped or U-shaped, and its top surface is curved. The receiving chamber 406 can be a square box, with through holes opened on the side wall of the square box opposite the support rod 403. The top plate 405 is a square or round plate, with a uniform gap between the top plate 405 and the side wall of the receiving chamber 406. When the screw 402 is rotated, the top plate 405 rotates within the receiving chamber 406. The fixed end of the screw 402 is the end that is fixedly connected to the top plate 405.

[0023] Based on the above-described structure, the auxiliary equipment for transporting and installing building pipelines includes a trolley 1 with rotating casters 102 mounted on both sides of the rear end of its frame 101, and self-locking casters 103 mounted on the front end of the frame 101. This three-wheeled trolley structure, consisting of the self-locking casters 103 at the front and the two casters 102 at the rear, provides stable support and movement. The self-locking casters 103 allow for flexible turning during movement. A pipe placement groove 2 with an arc-shaped top surface is mounted on the frame 101 of the trolley 1. Two fastening structures 4 are installed opposite each other on both sides of the pipe placement groove 2 to form a pipe fixing mechanism. The fastening structure 4 consists of a support rod 403, a screw 402, a top plate 405, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 404. The support rod 403 is mounted on the frame 101. The fixed end of the screw 402 spirally passes through a screw hole at the upper end of the support rod 403, slides through a through hole in the receiving chamber 406, and is then fixedly connected to the top plate 405. The size of the through hole is smaller than the size of the top plate. When transporting the building pipe 8, place the building pipe 8 on the pipe placement groove 2, so that the bottom wall of the building pipe 8 is in contact with the arc surface of the top surface of the pipe placement groove 2. Rotate the screws 402 on both sides of the pipe placement groove 2 in the forward direction. The two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 move closer to the building pipe 8 and are in contact with each other on the side wall of the building pipe 8. The arc-shaped clamping plates 404 are parallel to the axis of the pipe placement groove 2. Continue to rotate the screws 402 on both sides in the forward direction. Make the top plates 405 of the fixed ends of the screws 402 on both sides abut against the back of the corresponding arc-shaped clamping plates 404, and continue to rotate the screws 402 on both sides in the forward direction and tighten them. The two top plates 405 abut against the back of the corresponding arc-shaped clamping plates 404, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 abut against the side wall of the building pipe 8. The two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 clamp and fix the building pipe 8 on the pipe mounting groove 2. The upper arc-shaped plate of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 is aligned with the building pipe. The upper side wall of 2 acts as a blocking limit to prevent the building pipe 8 from sliding upwards, thus stabilizing the building pipe 8 and ensuring its stable fixation on the pipe placement groove 2. Repeating the forward rotation of the screws 402 on both sides of the pipe placement groove 2, the building pipe 8 is clamped and fixed onto the remaining pipe placement groove 2. After clamping and fixing the building pipe 8, the trolley is pulled to transport the building pipe 8 to the installation location. Once at the installation location, the corresponding screw 402 is rotated in the reverse direction to separate the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 from the side wall of the building pipe 8, allowing the building pipe 8 to be removed. During transportation, no workers need to hold the building pipe, reducing labor intensity. The fastening structure 4 clamps and fixes the building pipe 8, preventing it from slipping and causing damage or injury to surrounding personnel. This results in better and safer transportation, allowing for rapid transfer of the building pipe 8 from the storage point to the installation point, improving transportation efficiency.When beveling, connecting, or painting the building pipe 8 is required, the building pipe 8 can be placed on the pipe placement groove 2 of the building pipe transportation and installation auxiliary equipment. This provides support for the building pipe 8 and assists in the installation process, thus improving the efficiency of the installation. In summary, the building pipe transportation and installation auxiliary equipment of this application is particularly suitable for the transportation and installation of large-diameter and long metal or non-metal building pipes 8. It reduces labor intensity, facilitates convenient and safe transportation of the building pipe 8, and provides support and assistance for the installation process, thereby improving the efficiency of the installation.

[0024] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a handle 401 is provided at the other end of the screw 402 opposite to its fixed end.

[0025] A handle is welded to the other end of the screw 402 opposite to its fixed end, providing a gripper for workers to rotate the screw 402. The handle 401 and the top plate 405 are located on both sides of the support rod 403, respectively.

[0026] A support plate is installed between the support rod 403 and the frame 101. For example, one right-angled side of the support plate is welded to the frame 101, and the other right-angled side is welded to the side wall of the support rod 403 near the handle 401. This provides support and stability for the support rod 403, preventing it from tilting towards or away from the pipe mounting groove 2, and ensuring that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 clamp the building pipe 8 more securely.

[0027] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a traction rod 3 is provided at the front end of the frame 101, and a handle is provided at the free end of the traction rod 3.

[0028] If the traction rod 3 is hinged to the front end of the frame 101, it will be convenient for workers of different heights to pull the trolley 1 and thus transport the building pipes 8. The handle is convenient for workers to grip when pulling the traction rod 3, and the free end of the traction rod 3 is the other end that connects the traction rod 3 to the frame 101. The handle can be a ring structure.

[0029] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a warning light 5 and a lighting light 6 are provided at the rear end of the frame 101.

[0030] A warning light 5 is mounted on the rear screw of the frame 101. This facilitates the transport of construction pipes 8 in low-light conditions, such as at night, by attracting the attention of personnel behind, thus improving the safety of the transport. The warning light 5 can adopt a structure similar to a bicycle taillight using a reflector or LED light source. A lamp holder is mounted on the rear screw of the frame 101, and a lighting lamp 6 is installed on the lamp holder, enabling the transport of construction pipes 8 in low-light conditions, such as at night. The lighting lamp 6 can be a battery-powered light-controlled lamp.

[0031] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an extension connecting rod 7 is provided between adjacent trolleys 1.

[0032] The extension connecting rod 7 connects two adjacent trolleys 1 together, improving the overall integrity and stability of the construction pipeline transportation and installation auxiliary equipment consisting of at least two trolleys 1. It also expands the capacity of the equipment to transport longer construction pipelines 8 or two or more sections of them. For example, to transport two sections of construction pipeline 8, four trolleys 1 can be easily connected together using the extension connecting rod 7, improving the efficiency of pipeline transportation. Vertical mounting holes can be provided at both ends of the frame 101. Mounting shafts that rotatably engage with the mounting holes of the frame 101 are provided at both ends of the extension connecting rod 7. The extension connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the frame 101 of the trolley 1 via the mounting shafts and mounting holes, facilitating turning during transportation. When connecting two trolleys 1, simply insert the mounting shaft of the extension connecting rod 7 into the corresponding mounting hole. After transportation, the extension connecting rod 7 can be removed for easy placement of the trolleys 1.

[0033] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the center lines of the screw 402, the screw hole, the through hole, the top plate 405, and the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 are collinear.

[0034] Ensure that the clamping force of the screw 402 on the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 is concentrated in the same direction, and avoid generating component forces that cause instability when the two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 clamp the building pipe 8.

[0035] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0036] For example, diamond-shaped anti-slip patterns or evenly distributed anti-slip protrusions can be provided on the clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 to increase the friction between the clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 and the building pipe 8, further preventing relative movement between the building pipe 8 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 404, and further ensuring the stability of the building pipe 8 during transportation. The clamping surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 is the side opposite to the back of the arc-shaped clamping plate 404, that is, the side that is in close contact with the building pipe 8 during transportation.

[0037] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
