Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steel pipe support equipment, and in particular to a height-adjustable steel pipe support. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most dam safety monitoring equipment uses automated data acquisition instruments, typically mounted on supports. During the dam's construction and heightening process, the supports are raised segment by segment according to the progress of the pouring. This allows the monitoring equipment to be raised synchronously with the dam construction, ensuring continuous and accurate real-time monitoring of various dam parameters at different construction stages. This effectively addresses the monitoring needs arising from changes in dam height, ensuring the continuity and reliability of monitoring work and avoiding monitoring blind spots or equipment malfunctions due to height changes. Traditionally, when supports are raised segment by segment, bolts are typically used for connections. However, this method requires the individual installation and removal of bolts. In high-altitude or harsh environments, manual operation is difficult and time-consuming, and the cumbersome connection process can easily delay the synchronous raising of the monitoring equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that traditional supports often use bolt connections when increasing height in stages, but these require individual bolt removal and installation. This is difficult and time-consuming to operate manually at high altitudes or in harsh environments, and the complicated procedures can easily delay the synchronous raising progress of monitoring equipment. Therefore, this utility model proposes a height-adjustable steel pipe support.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a height-adjustable steel pipe support, including a first support, a second support and a third support connected in sequence, and further including: a pipe clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the ends of the first support and the second support, and the ends of the second support and the third support are provided with a pipe insertion mechanism for inserting into the corresponding pipe clamping mechanism; a locking mechanism is provided at one end of the second support and the third support near the pipe insertion mechanism.

[0005] Optionally, the cannulation mechanism includes a first connecting tube, which is fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the second and third supports, and the end of the first connecting tube away from the second and third supports is fixedly connected to a cannula.

[0006] Optionally, the tube clamping mechanism includes a tube clamp, which is fixedly connected to the ends of the corresponding first and second supports. The tube clamp has multiple rotating grooves arranged in a circumferential array, and each rotating groove has a rotating abutment block rotatably connected inside to abut the tube clamp.

[0007] Optionally, multiple anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the rotating block.

[0008] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a spiral sleeve that is spirally sleeved on the first connecting pipe, and the spiral sleeve has a plurality of protrusions distributed in a circumferential array.

[0009] Optionally, a mounting base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first bracket. The mounting base plate has multiple mounting holes. A plurality of reinforcing blocks arranged in a circular array are also fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting base plate. The bottom ends of the reinforcing blocks are all fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate.

[0010] Optionally, a crossbeam is connected to the third bracket, and an automated data acquisition instrument housing is bolted to the crossbeam. A battery is fixedly connected to the top of the automated data acquisition instrument housing, and a solar panel is fixedly connected to the top of the third bracket.

[0011] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] This utility model utilizes the cooperation of a first support, a second support, a third support, a pipe clamping mechanism, a pipe insertion mechanism, and a locking mechanism. By inserting the pipe into the clamping pipe and using the engagement of the spiral sleeve and the convex sleeve, the rotating abutment block abuts against the inserted pipe to achieve locking. There is no need to disassemble and assemble each bolt individually. This solves the problems of difficult and time-consuming manual operation at high altitudes or in harsh environments when connecting the traditional support sections by section. It simplifies the process, improves the efficiency of raising the support section by section, and ensures that the monitoring equipment is raised synchronously with the dam pouring, thus guaranteeing the monitoring progress.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] Example

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the height-adjustable steel pipe support proposed in this utility model includes a first support 1, a second support 2 and a third support 3 connected in sequence. The ends of the first support 1 and the second support 2 are fixedly connected with pipe clamping mechanisms. The ends of the second support 2 and the third support 3 are provided with insertion mechanisms for inserting into the corresponding pipe clamping mechanisms. The ends of the second support 2 and the third support 3 near the insertion mechanism are provided with locking mechanisms.

[0020] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the intubation mechanism includes a first connecting tube 321, which is fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the second support 2 and the third support 3. An intubation tube 324 is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting tube 321 away from the second support 2 and the third support 3.

[0021] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping tube 325, which is fixedly connected to the ends of the corresponding first bracket 1 and second bracket 2. The clamping tube 325 has several rotating grooves 326 arranged in a circumferential array. Each rotating groove 326 has a rotating abutment 327 rotatably connected inside to abut the insertion tube 324. The shape of the rotating abutment 327 ensures that it abuts against the clamping tube 325 after rotation. This ensures that the clamping tube 325, along with the anti-slip pads 328, tightly adheres to the insertion tube 324 inserted into the clamping tube 325. Several anti-slip pads 328, made of rubber, are fixedly connected to the rotating abutment 327.

[0022] As one implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a screw sleeve 322 screwed onto the first connecting tube 321. When the screw sleeve 322 moves on the first connecting tube 321, it abuts against the retaining tube 325. The screw sleeve 322 has multiple protrusions 323 arranged in a circumferential array. The protrusions 323 ensure that the rod-shaped tool is inserted into them and rotated, thereby ensuring that the screw sleeve 322 can be rotated on the first connecting tube 321 with ease and effort.

[0023] Further as Figure 1 As shown, a mounting base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first bracket 1. The mounting base plate 11 has multiple mounting holes 13, which allow it to be bolted to a substrate (e.g., a concrete floor). Several reinforcing blocks 12 arranged in a circular array are also fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting base plate 11. These reinforcing blocks 12 enhance the stability and support strength of the first bracket 1. The bottom ends of all reinforcing blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate 11.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, a crossbeam 31 is connected to the third bracket 3, which supports the installation of the automated data acquisition instrument housing 32. The automated data acquisition instrument housing 32 is bolted to the crossbeam 31. A storage battery 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the automated data acquisition instrument housing 32. The storage battery 33, installed on the top of the automated data acquisition instrument housing 32, stores the electrical energy converted by the solar panel 34 to power the equipment. A solar panel 34 is also fixedly connected to the top of the third bracket 3. The solar panel 34 converts solar energy into electrical energy to charge the storage battery 33. The solar panel 34 converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect, and the generated direct current is transmitted to the storage battery 33 via a cable. The storage battery 33 stores electrical energy through a chemical reaction (such as the reversible electrochemical reaction of a lead-acid battery). When the monitoring equipment needs power, the storage battery 33 converts the chemical energy back into electrical energy to power the automated data acquisition instrument, ensuring the continuous operation of the monitoring system when there is no external power source. The BGK-Micro-40Pro automated data acquisition unit is a product developed using the latest technology based on an IoT platform for engineering safety monitoring. This automated data acquisition unit, along with its measurement module, sensors, and G cloud platform, forms an integrated monitoring station. It transmits measurement data to the G cloud platform via GPRS, LAN, and WIFI, seamlessly integrating with the cloud platform for immediate use. It can automatically measure various engineering safety monitoring instruments, process data, generate charts, and alarm for abnormal measurements. This automated data acquisition unit has a built-in measurement module, and each channel can acquire data from various sensors, including vibrating wire instruments, differential resistance instruments, standard voltage and current signals, various standard transmitters and sensors, and linear potentiometer sensors, achieving measurements from up to 40 channels. Furthermore, the power supply, communication interface, and each measurement channel are equipped with lightning protection.

[0025] In this embodiment, when using a height-adjustable steel pipe support, the first support 1 is first fixed to the concrete foundation through the mounting holes 13 on the mounting base plate 11, and the reinforcing block 12 enhances its stability. Next, the insertion tube 324 at the end of the second support 2 is inserted into the clamping tube 325 at the end of the first support 1. Then, the insertion tube 324 at the end of the third support 3 is inserted into the clamping tube 325 at the end of the second support 2. After all insertions are complete, the tool insert is inserted into the protrusion 323 on the corresponding spiral sleeve 322. Since the protrusion 323 and the first connecting pipe 321 are spirally connected, the bottom wall of the spiral sleeve 322 abuts against the rotating abutment 327. At this time, the rotating abutment 327 in the rotating groove 326 on the clamping tube 325 abuts against the insertion tube 324, and the anti-slip pad 328 increases friction, thereby locking the insertion tube 324 within the clamping tube 325. Finally, the automated data acquisition instrument housing 32 is bolted onto the crossbeam 31, and the battery 33 and solar panel 34 are installed on the top in sequence. After all the components are securely connected by the bracket, the cable is connected. As the dam is poured, the bracket can be raised section by section through the pipe clamping mechanism and locking mechanism to ensure that the monitoring equipment is raised synchronously and operates stably.
