Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe jacking construction technology, specifically a long-distance pipe jacking connection and positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] In current engineering construction and underground pipeline construction, long-distance pipe jacking technology has been widely used. In the existing process of connecting long-distance pipes into the stratum, the first set of pipes needs to be inserted into the stratum first. Then, the hydraulic cylinder is retracted, and the second pipe to be connected is lifted by external hoisting equipment. The second pipe is lifted to the side of the first pipe inserted into the stratum, and then the hydraulic cylinder pushes the second pipe into the stratum. When connecting the second pipe, workers often place the second pipe to the side of the first pipe by feel. It is necessary to make constant adjustments to align the two sets of pipes for connection, which is very inconvenient.
[0003] A search revealed that patent publication number CN220505979U discloses a long-distance pipe jacking connection positioning device. While this type of device effectively solves the problem of workers needing to constantly adjust it to align and connect two sets of pipes, its structural design makes it unsuitable for pipes of different diameters, and its accuracy is difficult to control. Therefore, we propose a long-distance pipe jacking connection positioning device to address these existing problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a long-distance pipe jacking connection and positioning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a long-distance pipe jacking connection positioning device, comprising a base, a wall, and a pipe, wherein the pipe is installed through the interior of the wall, a base is provided on one side of the wall, a second sliding plate is installed on the top of the base via a slide rail, an extension pipe is placed on the top of the second sliding plate, and a first sliding plate is installed on both sides of the top of the base via slide rails. A locator is installed on the top of the base and the first sliding plate, the locator comprising a mounting base, an electric push rod, a clamping plate, and a laser displacement ranging sensor, an electric push rod is installed on one side of the mounting base, a clamping plate is installed at the output end of the electric push rod, and laser displacement ranging sensors are provided on both sides of the clamping plate.
[0006] After the pipe is driven into the wall, the base is installed in the designated position. The locator on the base clamps the pipe by pushing the clamping plate with an electric push rod, so that the clamping plate is against the pipe. The position of the pipe can be measured by a laser displacement distance sensor, providing data reference for subsequent positioning. At this time, the worker lowers the extension pipe to the predetermined position and places it on the second sliding plate. The locator on the first sliding plate clamps the extension pipe by pushing the clamping plate with an electric push rod, so that the clamping plate is against the extension pipe. The position of the extension pipe can be measured by a laser displacement distance sensor and transmitted to the external control unit. Using an intelligent algorithm, the optimal movement trajectory can be calculated in real time based on the data provided by the laser displacement distance sensor, so that the extension pipe is aligned with the pipe, facilitating subsequent connection. This design can adapt to jacking pipes of different diameters, improving the versatility and applicability of the device, and has high versatility.
[0007] Preferably, a base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, and a locator at the top of the base clamps the pipe on both sides.
[0008] The base can be installed on the ground of the well, and the base can be positioned at a specified height. During installation, the base needs to be kept horizontal. The locator clamps the pipe to detect the diameter and position of the pipe and sends a sensor signal to provide a position reference for the subsequent positioning of the extension pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the locator at the top of the skateboard clamps the extension tube on both sides.
[0010] The position of the extension tube can be determined by clamping it with a positioner. The position of the extension tube can be measured by the sensor inside the positioner, and the position signal of the pipe can be received so that the position of the extension tube is aligned with the pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the laser displacement ranging sensor is electrically connected to the peripheral control unit, and the clamping plate is made of metal.
[0012] The laser displacement distance sensor can measure the distance and angle between the extension tube and the pipe in real time, providing accurate positioning information for the connector. Because the laser displacement distance sensor is electrically connected to the external control unit, it can transmit the data detected by the laser displacement distance sensor to the external control unit for calculation, so that the operator can control multiple sets of clamps equipped with laser displacement distance sensors to be on the same horizontal line, thereby controlling the alignment and positioning of the extension tube and the pipe.
[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] This invention uses a laser displacement ranging sensor to measure the position of the pipeline, providing data reference for subsequent positioning. The same sensor then measures the position of the extension pipe and transmits this data to an external control unit. Employing an intelligent algorithm, it calculates the optimal trajectory in real time based on the data from the laser displacement ranging sensor, aligning the extension pipe with the pipeline for easier subsequent connection. The device features a clamping positioning design with adjustable clamping spacing, adapting to jacking pipes of different diameters. Compared to the technology in the prior art, this invention further optimizes the versatility and applicability of the device while improving accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a long-distance pipe jacking connection positioning device, including a base 1, a wall 5, and a pipe 6. The pipe 6 is installed through the interior of the wall 5. The base 1 is set on one side of the wall 5. A sliding plate 2 4 is installed on the top of the base 1 via a slide rail. An extension pipe 7 is placed on the top of the sliding plate 2 4. Sliding plates 1 2 are installed on both sides of the top of the base 1 via slide rails. Both sliding plates 1 2 and 2 4 can slide on sliding plate 1 2 via the slide rails to facilitate docking operations. A locator 3 is installed on the top of the base 1 and sliding plate 1 2. The locator 3 includes a mounting base 301, an electric push rod 302, a clamping plate 303, and a laser displacement distance sensor 304. An electric push rod 302 is installed on one side of the mounting base 301. A clamping plate 303 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 302. Laser displacement distance sensors 304 are set on both sides of the clamping plate 303.
[0032] The working principle of the long-distance pipe jacking connection positioning device based on Embodiment 1 is as follows: After the pipe 6 is driven into the wall 5, the base 1 is installed in the designated position, and the locator 3 on the base 1 clamps the pipe 6. The clamping method is that the electric push rod 302 pushes the clamping plate 303 so that the clamping plate 303 abuts against the pipe 6. The laser displacement distance sensor 304 can measure the position of the pipe 6, providing data reference for subsequent positioning. At this time, the worker lowers the extension pipe 7 to the predetermined position and places it on the sliding plate 2 4. The locator 3 on the sliding plate 1 2 clamps the extension pipe 7. The clamping method involves the electric push rod 302 pushing the clamping plate 303 to abut against the extension tube 7. The laser displacement distance sensor 304 can measure the position of the extension tube 7 and transmit it to the external control unit. Using an intelligent algorithm, the electric push rod 302 is controlled to push the clamping plate 303. The optimal motion trajectory can be calculated in real time based on the data provided by the laser displacement distance sensor 304, so that the extension tube 7 is aligned with the pipe 6, which facilitates subsequent connection. This design can adapt to jacking pipes of different diameters, improving the versatility and applicability of the device, and has high versatility.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the long-distance pipe connection positioning device proposed in this utility model, compared with the first embodiment, further includes: a base 101 fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1, a locator 3 at the top of the base 1 clamping the pipe 6 on both sides, a locator 3 at the top of the slide plate 2 clamping the extension pipe 7 on both sides, a laser displacement ranging sensor 304 electrically connected to the external control unit, and a clamping plate 303 made of metal material.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the base 101 can be installed on the ground of the well, allowing the base 1 to be at a specified height. During installation, the base 1 must be kept horizontal. The clamping of the positioner 3 and the pipe 6 detects the diameter and position of the pipe 6 and sends a sensing signal, providing a positional reference for the subsequent positioning of the extension pipe 7. Figure 1 As shown, the position of the extension tube 7 can be positioned by clamping it with the positioner 3. The position of the extension tube 7 can be measured by the sensor inside the positioner 3, and the position signal of the pipe 6 can be received so that the position of the extension tube 7 is aligned with the pipe 6; as shown. Figure 3As shown, the laser displacement distance sensor 304 can measure the distance and angle between the extension tube 7 and the pipe 6 in real time, providing accurate positioning information for the connector. Since the laser displacement distance sensor 304 is electrically connected to the external control unit, it can transmit the data detected by the laser displacement distance sensor 304 to the external control unit for calculation, so that the operator can control multiple sets of clamps 303 equipped with laser displacement distance sensors 304 to be on the same horizontal line, so as to control the alignment and positioning of the extension tube 7 and the pipe 6.
[0036] The above specific embodiments are merely several preferred embodiments of this utility model.
