Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline support technology, specifically relating to a BIM-based electromechanical pipeline support. Background Technology

[0002] In electromechanical engineering construction, the installation of electromechanical pipelines relies on supports for fixation and support. The quality of the support installation directly affects the stability and safety of the pipelines. Traditional electromechanical pipeline supports are usually fabricated and installed based on experience or simple drawings, lacking precise prior planning.

[0003] Because there are many types of electromechanical pipelines, such as water pipes, cable pipes, and air ducts, each with different dimensions, weights, and installation location requirements, traditional supports often fail to meet the actual needs of the pipelines during installation. This necessitates on-site cutting, welding, and other adjustments, wasting materials and manpower and impacting construction progress. Furthermore, the fixed structure of traditional supports prevents flexible adjustment based on actual pipeline installation deviations. Even minor changes in pipeline layout can cause the supports to malfunction, leading to reduced installation accuracy and potential safety hazards.

[0004] With the widespread application of BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology in the construction industry, it enables information management throughout the entire building lifecycle. Before the installation of mechanical and electrical pipelines, BIM models can be used for comprehensive pipeline optimization and pre-design of supports. However, there is currently a lack of support structures compatible with BIM technology, which fails to fully leverage the precise planning advantages of BIM. Therefore, a BIM-based mechanical and electrical pipeline support system is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to address the technical problems of existing technologies that rely on experience or simple drawings for fabrication and installation, lack precise pre-planning, and are prone to mismatches between support positions and actual pipeline requirements. Furthermore, the fixed structure cannot be flexibly adjusted, making it difficult to adapt to minor changes in pipeline layout, which can lead to reduced installation accuracy and safety hazards.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A BIM-based electromechanical pipeline support system includes:

[0008] The mounting bracket is used to fix it on the mounting base. The mounting bracket is a U-shaped bracket. The inner side of the mounting bracket is provided with several sets of mounting seats arranged vertically at equal intervals. Each set of mounting seats has four seats and is symmetrically arranged on the mounting bracket. The two mounting seats on the same side cooperate with the mounting bracket to form a U-shaped bayonet.

[0009] A horizontal support frame, with several U-shaped slots arranged vertically at equal intervals and inserted into the mounting bracket, serves as the support foundation for electromechanical pipelines.

[0010] The pipeline fixing assembly has several adjustable mountings on a horizontal support frame. The pipeline fixing assembly includes a fixing base, several pipeline insertion holes on the fixing base for guiding the pipeline to pass through downward or upward, and an insertion bracket on the fixing base for guiding the pipeline to pass through horizontally.

[0011] Preferably, several mounting brackets are arranged at equal intervals, and a mounting plate is provided on the top of the mounting bracket. The mounting plate has fixing holes A at the four corners for fixing the mounting bracket to the mounting base.

[0012] Preferably, the horizontal support frame has several straight slots arranged at equal intervals on both sides, and mounting holes are provided on both sides of the horizontal support frame between two adjacent straight slots. The horizontal support frame is fixed in the U-shaped bayonet by the cooperation of bolts and nuts that pass through the mounting base and mounting holes.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base has multiple mounting holes B at both ends. The pipeline fixing assembly is fixed to the horizontal support frame by the cooperation of bolts and nuts that pass through the mounting holes B and the straight groove.

[0014] Preferably, the position of the fixing seat on the top of the horizontal support frame is adjusted by loosening the nuts of the locking bolts on the pipeline fixing assembly, thereby adjusting the installation position of the pipeline fixing assembly on the horizontal support frame.

[0015] Preferably, the pipeline insertion holes are arranged longitudinally at equal intervals on the fixed base and located on the front side of the insertion bracket.

[0016] Preferably, the insertion frame is provided with several inverted U-shaped plates at equal intervals, and the insertion frame is longitudinally inserted with a drag bar that passes through the inverted U-shaped plates and is used to support and guide the electromechanical pipelines. The electromechanical pipelines pass through the gap between the inverted U-shaped groove on the inverted U-shaped plate and the top of the drag bar.

[0017] Both ends of the tow rod are screwed to the internal threaded plugs located on the outer sides of both ends of the insertion frame. By tightening the internal threaded plugs, the tow rod is locked and fixed on the insertion frame. By loosening the internal threaded plugs, the tow rod can rotate on the insertion frame, thereby assisting the entry and exit of electromechanical pipelines.

[0018] Preferably, the insert frame, the fixed seat, and the transverse support frame are fixed together by the use of bolts and nuts through the fixing holes B on the insert frame and the straight groove.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention is effectively compatible with BIM technology, fully leveraging its advantages in early-stage planning. With the help of BIM technology, comprehensive pipeline optimization and support pre-design can be completed before construction. The modular structure design of the supports precisely corresponds to the pre-designed dimensions and location requirements, changing the traditional reliance on experience or simple drawings for support installation and the lack of precise planning. This reduces installation problems caused by insufficient early-stage planning from the outset.

[0021] This invention offers excellent adjustability, adapting to the installation needs of various pipelines. The vertical position of the horizontal support frame can be adjusted by selecting different U-shaped clamps, and the pipeline fixing components can be adjusted in lateral position on the horizontal support frame via straight slots. This solves the problem of traditional bracket structures being fixed and unable to be adjusted according to actual pipeline needs, eliminating the need for on-site cutting, welding, or other modifications, thus improving installation convenience.

[0022] The fixing structure design of this utility model balances stability and practicality. The mounting bracket is fixed to the mounting base via mounting plates and fixing holes, the horizontal support frame is fixed to the mounting base with bolts, and the pipeline fixing assembly is fixed to the horizontal support frame with bolts, ensuring a firm and reliable connection between all components. Meanwhile, the drag bar on the insertion bracket can be adjusted for tightness via internal threaded plugs, which not only locks and fixes the pipeline but also assists in the pipeline's entry and exit, ensuring the stability of the pipeline after installation.

[0023] This invention improves construction efficiency and reduces safety hazards. Because the bracket can be precisely installed according to the pre-design and is easy to adjust, it reduces rework caused by dimensional mismatches in traditional bracket installation, saving material and labor costs and accelerating construction progress. Furthermore, its flexible adjustment capability allows the bracket to adapt to minor changes in pipeline layout, avoiding the reduced installation accuracy problems caused by the inability of traditional brackets to adapt to changes, thus improving the safety of electromechanical pipelines after installation.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] The following combination Figures 1 to 7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses a BIM-based electromechanical pipeline support, which mainly consists of three parts: a mounting frame 1, a horizontal support frame 2, and a pipeline fixing component 3. Through modular design, it realizes flexible fixing and support of electromechanical pipelines 4, adapting to the precise planning requirements of BIM technology.

[0035] Mounting bracket 1 serves as the basic frame of the entire support system, used for fixing to the mounting base such as ceiling or wall. The main body of mounting bracket 1 is a U-shaped bracket, with several sets of mounting seats 11 arranged vertically at equal intervals on the inner side; each set of mounting seats 11 consists of 4 seats, symmetrically distributed on the inner side of mounting bracket 1. The two mounting seats 11 on the same side cooperate with mounting bracket 1 to form a U-shaped bayonet 12 (for inserting the horizontal support frame 2). Multiple mounting brackets 1 can be arranged at equal intervals (to enhance overall stability); a mounting plate 13 is provided at the top, with fixing holes A14 at the four corners of the mounting plate 13. The mounting bracket 1 is fixed to the mounting base by bolts passing through the fixing holes A14.

[0036] The horizontal support frame 2 serves as the support base for the electromechanical pipeline 4 and connects the mounting bracket 1 with the pipeline fixing component 3.

[0037] Multiple horizontal support frames 2 are arranged vertically at equal intervals and are inserted into the U-shaped slots 12 of the mounting frame 1 to form a multi-layer support structure.

[0038] Several straight slots 21 are equally spaced on both sides of the horizontal support frame 2, and mounting holes 22 are provided between adjacent straight slots 21; the horizontal support frame 2 is fixed in the U-shaped bayonet 12 by bolts passing through the mounting base 11 and the mounting holes 22, and with the help of nuts.

[0039] The combination of the straight groove 21 and the mounting hole 22 ensures both the stability of the fixation and provides space for the subsequent adjustment of the position of the pipeline fixing component 3.

[0040] The pipeline fixing component 3 is used to directly fix the electromechanical pipeline 4, supporting the installation and positioning of pipelines in different directions (vertical and horizontal).

[0041] The pipeline fixing assembly 3 includes a fixing base 31, a pipeline insertion hole 32, an insertion bracket 33, an inverted U-shaped plate 35, and a drag bar 36;

[0042] The mounting base 31 serves as the basic carrier for fixing pipelines, and has multiple fixing holes B34 at both ends. The fixing is achieved by bolts passing through the fixing holes B34 and the straight groove 21 of the transverse support frame 2, and by using nuts.

[0043] Pipeline insertion holes 32 are provided on the fixed base 31 and are arranged at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction (located in front of the insertion bracket 33) to guide the pipeline to pass through vertically (upward or downward).

[0044] The insertion bracket 33 is mounted on the fixed base 31 and is used to guide the pipeline to pass through horizontally.

[0045] The structure of the interlocking frame 33 includes:

[0046] Inverted U-shaped plates 35: evenly distributed on the insert frame 33 to form horizontal guide grooves.

[0047] The tow rod 36 is inserted longitudinally between the inverted U-shaped plates 35, and its top end forms a gap with the inverted U-shaped groove 37 of the inverted U-shaped plate 35, through which the pipeline passes; both ends of the tow rod 36 are screwed to the internal thread plugs 38 on the outside of the insertion bracket 33.

[0048] The insertion bracket 33, the fixing seat 31, and the transverse support frame 2 are fixed by bolts passing through the insertion bracket 33, the fixing hole B34, and the straight groove 21. Loosening the bolts and nuts can adjust the position of the fixing seat 31 on the transverse support frame 2, realizing the transverse adjustment of the pipeline fixing assembly 3; loosening the internal thread plug 38 can make the drag rod 36 rotate, assisting the pipeline to enter and exit (reducing friction and facilitating installation).

[0049] The horizontal support frame 2 can be height adjusted: by selecting U-shaped bayonets 12 (mounting base 11 sets) of different heights and inserting them into the horizontal support frame 2, the vertical position can be adjusted.

[0050] The pipeline fixing assembly 3 can be adjusted laterally: loosen the bolts between the fixing seat 31 and the lateral support frame 2, move the fixing seat 31 along the straight groove 21, adjust it to the target position, and then tighten it again.

[0051] Pipeline installation assistance adjustment: The drag bar 36 can be rotated by tightening or loosening the internal threaded plug 38, reducing the resistance during pipeline installation and adapting to the installation requirements of pipelines of different diameters.

[0052] The modular structure and adjustable design of this BIM-based MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) support bracket can accurately match the pre-planned pipeline positions in the BIM model, reducing rework operations such as on-site cutting and welding. From the height of the horizontal support frame 2 to the horizontal position of the pipeline fixing component 3, and then to the auxiliary adjustment of the drag bar 36, the entire process supports on-demand adjustment, adapting to the mixed installation of various pipelines (water pipes, cable pipes, etc.). The detachable connection method of bolts and nuts ensures both fixing strength and simplifies the installation and subsequent maintenance process. Through the above structural design, this bracket realizes a complete functional chain of "foundation fixing - hierarchical support - precise pipeline positioning", balancing stability and flexibility, and is particularly suitable for complex MEP pipeline 4 installation scenarios that require prior BIM planning.

[0053] This BIM-based MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) support system achieves stable installation of the MEP pipelines 4 through layered support and adjustable fixing. The mounting bracket 1 serves as the foundation, fixed to the installation base. Its inner U-shaped slot 12 provides a vertical installation position for the horizontal support frame 2, which in turn supports the foundation and carries the pipeline fixing component 3. The pipeline fixing component 3 is connected to the horizontal support frame 2 with bolts and can be adjusted along the straight slot 21 of the horizontal support frame 2. Simultaneously, its pipeline insertion holes 32 and insertion brackets 33 guide the pipelines vertically and horizontally, respectively. The drag bar 36 on the insertion bracket 33 can also assist in the entry and exit of pipelines by rotation. This forms a collaborative working mode of "foundation fixing – layered support – pipeline positioning," and the connection and adjustment methods of each component are adapted to the precise dimensional requirements of the early planning in BIM technology.

[0054] Compared to traditional brackets that rely on experience or simple drawings for installation and lack precise pre-planning, this bracket is compatible with BIM technology. Because BIM technology allows for comprehensive pipeline optimization and bracket pre-design in advance, and the modular structure of the bracket (such as the U-shaped bayonet 12 of mounting bracket 1 and the mounting holes 22 of the horizontal support frame 2) strictly corresponds to the pre-designed dimensions, it avoids rework operations such as on-site cutting and welding caused by dimensional mismatches in traditional brackets, reducing material and manpower waste while ensuring installation progress.

[0055] Addressing the shortcomings of traditional bracket structures that are fixed and lack flexibility in adjustment, this bracket possesses multiple adjustment capabilities. The horizontal support frame 2 can be adjusted vertically using different U-shaped latches 12, the pipeline fixing component 3 can be adjusted horizontally along the straight groove 21 of the horizontal support frame 2, and the drag bar 36 can also be rotated to adapt to pipeline installation movements. This flexibility allows it to adapt to the installation needs of different types and sizes of pipelines, and can quickly adapt even to minor changes in pipeline layout. This avoids the reduced installation accuracy caused by the inability to adjust traditional brackets, thus improving the stability and safety of pipeline installation.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
