Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline installation and maintenance devices, specifically relating to a sliding suspension device for suspending pipeline components and facilitating replacement. Background Technology

[0002] Since the reform and opening up, high-rise buildings have sprung up all over the country. Many of these buildings are now 40-50 years old, and their internal electromechanical systems are nearing their designed lifespan. In particular, valves and other components in these systems are often neglected and lack maintenance, leading to issues such as jamming, damage, and leaks. How to quickly and easily replace and handle these situations is a pressing issue. Currently, when such situations occur, management personnel primarily use conventional methods such as ladders, scaffolding, hoists, and jacks for assistance. Aside from the complexity of dismantling the equipment after preparing these tools, the methods themselves require significant manpower and resources, making them less than optimal for emergency situations and impacting system lifespan. Therefore, we need to invent a sliding suspension device for easily replacing pipe components. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes a sliding suspension device for easy replacement of pipe components, which aims to solve the problem that the existing rebar reinforcement structure and base material are not stable enough.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a sliding suspension device for easy replacement of pipe components, including a suspension bracket, a crossbeam, and a sliding assembly. The suspension bracket includes a first suspension bracket and a second suspension bracket. The crossbeam is mounted between the first suspension bracket and the second suspension bracket and can move along the length of the suspension bracket. The crossbeam is also provided with a tool tray. The sliding assembly is used to control the displacement position of the crossbeam on the suspension bracket.

[0005] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a fixed beam, a rotating handle, and a lead screw. The rotating handle is connected to the lead screw, which passes through the fixed beam and the crossbeam and extends along the length of the suspension bracket. The fixed beam is provided with a fixing member to limit the displacement of the lead screw in the length direction, and the crossbeam is provided with a thread that matches the lead screw.

[0006] Preferably, a level is provided on the fixed beam.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a limiting member disposed on the crossbeam, the limiting member being used to restrict the movement of the crossbeam on the suspension bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component is a pin screw, and the crossbeam is provided with a screw hole for the pin screw to rotate. The limiting state of the crossbeam can be changed by rotating the pin screw.

[0009] Preferably, the crossbeam is provided with at least two first clamps.

[0010] Preferably, the first clamp includes a clamping plate and a suspension bracket, one end of which is connected to the crossbeam, and the other end is provided with a nut assembly for restricting the clamping plate.

[0011] Preferably, at least one second clamp is provided on the first suspension bracket and the second suspension bracket respectively.

[0012] Preferably, the suspension bracket is telescopic and is composed of several nested bracket components.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the suspension bracket is also provided with a base.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This application utilizes a movable connection structure between the first suspension bracket, the second suspension bracket, and the crossbeam. The crossbeam can slide freely along the length of the suspension bracket under the action of the sliding assembly. The tool tray provides ample space for replacing pipe valves, eliminating the need to carry various tools and pipe components during replacement. Items are simply placed on the tool tray and slid to the designated location, reducing the burden of tool and component handling and minimizing operational interference caused by carrying items. Simultaneously, placing the replacement pipe components on the tool tray, with its stable support, effectively prevents component swaying caused by uneven force during manual handling or handheld operation. This solves the problems of difficult component alignment and limited working space in traditional fixed suspension methods, significantly shortening replacement time. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example 1

[0034] refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention illustrates a sliding suspension device for easy replacement of pipe components, including a suspension bracket 1, a crossbeam 2 and a sliding assembly 3. The suspension bracket 1 includes a first suspension bracket 11 and a second suspension bracket 12. The crossbeam 2 is mounted between the first suspension bracket 11 and the second suspension bracket 12 and can move along the length of the suspension bracket 1. The crossbeam 2 is also provided with a tool tray 4. The sliding assembly 3 is used to control the displacement position of the crossbeam 2 on the suspension bracket 1.

[0035] The suspension bracket 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the device, comprising a first suspension bracket 11 and a second suspension bracket 12, which are arranged symmetrically and parallel to each other. Its main body can be made of steel, and a reinforcing beam can be installed between the first suspension bracket 11 and the second suspension bracket 12 to increase the reliability of the connection.

[0036] The sliding assembly 3 is used to precisely control the displacement of the crossbeam 2, and the driving component can adopt a handwheel-type lead screw 33 structure. Specifically, the sliding assembly 3 includes a fixed beam 31, a rotating handle 32, and a lead screw 33. The rotating handle 32 is connected to the lead screw 33. The lead screw 33 passes through the fixed beam 31 and the crossbeam 2 and extends along the length direction of the suspension bracket 1. The fixed beam 31 is provided with a fixing member 34 to limit the displacement of the lead screw 33 in the length direction. The crossbeam 2 is provided with a thread that matches the lead screw 33.

[0037] When in use, rotating the handle 32 can drive the lead screw 33 to rotate. Since the fixing part 34 only restricts displacement in the length direction (does not restrict rotation), and the crossbeam 2 is provided with a thread that matches the lead screw 33, the rotation of the lead screw 33 will drive the crossbeam 2 to move. The tool tray 4 on the lead screw 33 will also move with the crossbeam 2, thereby sending the items in the tool tray 4 to the designated position.

[0038] The device is used as follows: When it is necessary to replace the pipeline valve, first put the new valve and tools into the tool tray 4, slide the crossbeam 2 away from the pipeline interface through the sliding component 3, remove the old valve and place it in the temporary storage area of ​​the tool tray 4, control the alignment accuracy through the sliding component 3, and the installation operation can be carried out after the alignment is completed. The whole process does not require moving parts, and the sliding alignment can reduce the error of manual adjustment.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, a level 5 is installed on the fixed beam 31. During the replacement of pipe components, the level 5 can monitor the horizontal state of the fixed beam 31 in real time. The level 5 can be a small bubble level, whose outer shell is connected to the fixed beam 31 by bolts. The outer shell has a transparent observation window, and the internal level tube is filled with alcohol or ether liquid, with only one air bubble. The axis of the level tube is parallel to the axis of the fixed beam 31. When the fixed beam 31 is in a horizontal state, the air bubble is located at the center mark of the level tube.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a limiting member 6 installed on the crossbeam 2, which is used to restrict the movement of the crossbeam 2 on the suspension bracket 1. The limiting member 6 can be installed at both ends of the crossbeam 2. When the crossbeam 2 slides to the target position, triggering the limiting member 6 can temporarily fix the crossbeam 2 to the suspension bracket 1, preventing displacement during replacement operations.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the limiting member 6 is a pin screw, and the crossbeam 2 is provided with a screw hole for the pin screw to rotate. By rotating the pin screw, the limiting state of the crossbeam 2 can be changed. When the pin screw is tightened, the pin screw passes through the screw hole and fits tightly with the suspension bracket 1, thereby restricting the crossbeam 2 from sliding. However, when the pin screw is loosened, the pressure and friction of the pin screw on the suspension bracket 1 disappear, and the crossbeam 2 resumes free movement on the suspension bracket 1.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 4-6As shown, at least two first clamps 7 are provided on the crossbeam 2. The first clamps 7 are spaced apart along the length of the crossbeam 2. The first clamps 7 are adjustable arc-shaped clamps, consisting of two symmetrical clamping plates 71. Rubber pads are attached to the inner side of the clamping plates 71, which can enhance the friction with the tubular parts and valves, prevent them from sliding during the transfer, and avoid the clamping plates 71 from scratching the surface of the tubular parts and valves. Both ends of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 71 are connected to the nut assembly 73 of the suspension bracket 72 for limiting the clamping plates 71. The other end of the suspension bracket 72 is connected to the crossbeam 2. The nut assembly 73 can adjust the clamping gap between the two clamping plates 71 to adapt to tubular parts or valves of different diameters.

[0046] Throughout the process, the first clamp 7 can fix the new tubular component or valve in advance, avoiding the trouble of manual support during the transfer process, while ensuring the stability during the transfer process. Combined with the sliding component 3 and the level 5, it further improves the efficiency and accuracy of pipeline component replacement.

[0047] Example 5

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, at least one second clamp 8 is provided on the first suspension bracket 11 and the second suspension bracket 12 respectively.

[0049] The second clamp 8 is preferably installed on top of the first suspension bracket 11 and the second suspension bracket 12. During installation, the first suspension bracket 11 and the second suspension bracket 12 can be placed on the pipe, and then reinforced and fixed to the pipe using the second clamp 8. The function of the second clamp 8 is to enhance the overall structural safety of the device. Through a rigid connection with the existing building pipes, it transfers the force of the suspension bracket 1 to the pipe system. When the crossbeam 2 bears the components or during sliding operations, the second clamp 8 can offset lateral impact forces and vertical eccentric forces, preventing the suspension bracket 1 from tilting due to uneven force distribution, thus fundamentally eliminating the risk of device collapse.

[0050] Example 6

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2As shown in Figures 5-6, the suspension bracket 1 is telescopic and consists of several nested bracket components 13. The telescopic structure of the suspension bracket 1, composed of nested bracket components 13, allows for flexible adaptation to the installation height of pipes in different building spaces. In actual installation scenarios, different buildings have varying floor heights and pipe arrangement heights. The telescopic suspension bracket 1, by adjusting its own height, allows the crossbeam 2 and related components to be positioned at a height compatible with the pipe. Furthermore, during pipe component replacement, if the working space is limited, the height of the suspension bracket 1 can be appropriately shortened to provide more working space for operators; if the pipe is positioned high, the height of the suspension bracket 1 can be extended to meet installation and replacement requirements. In addition, the telescopic structure facilitates folding and storage of the device during transportation and storage, reducing space occupancy.

[0052] Preferably, the bottom of the suspension bracket 1 is also provided with a base 9. The base 9 is used to enhance the stability of the chassis and prevent shaking during the use of the device.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
