Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline construction equipment, specifically relating to a new type of pipeline assembly and alignment device. Background Technology

[0002] During industrial pipeline installation, pipe alignment devices are typically used to align the ends of two pipes. After alignment, the two aligned pipes are welded together. Current pipe alignment methods mainly rely on lifting equipment and manual assistance to ensure the coaxiality of the two pipes. Existing positioning methods generally only use shims or similar supports to fix the pipe ends, often resulting in the centerlines of the two pipes not being aligned, which seriously affects the accuracy of pipe alignment. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model aims to provide a novel pipe assembly and alignment device. This device enables rapid adjustment and alignment of pipe ends, and the pipe end fixing components are detachable and installable. By replacing different models of pipe end fixing components, this device can be adapted to pipe assembly and installation of different diameters.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A novel pipe assembly connector includes pipe end fixing components installed at the ends of two pipes. A support mechanism is mounted below the pipe end fixing components. The support mechanism includes a base, a lifting drive assembly, a lifting platform, and multiple telescopic rods. The lower ends of the telescopic rods are vertically fixed to the base, and the upper ends of the telescopic rods are fixed to the bottom of the lifting platform. The lifting drive assembly is installed between the base and the lifting platform. Two support blocks are horizontally slidable on the top of the lifting platform, and the two support blocks are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the pipe end fixing components, perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipes. The pipe end fixing components are detachably mounted on the two support blocks. A spacing adjustment assembly connected to the two support blocks is also provided on the lifting platform.

[0006] Preferably, the pipe opening fastener includes a semi-circular upper clamp and a lower clamp, with the two clamp openings facing each other and fixed at the pipe opening. One end of the two clamps is hinged, and the outer edge of the other end is fixed by a bolt structure.

[0007] Preferably, connecting plates are fixedly provided on both sides below the lower clamp, and the two connecting plates are detachably fixed to the corresponding support blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting drive assembly includes a rotating rod, two fixed cylinders, and a threaded column. The fixed cylinders are vertically fixed to the base, and a toothed ring is horizontally rotatably mounted at the opening of the fixed cylinder. The lower end of the threaded column is movably sleeved in the corresponding fixed cylinder and threadedly sleeved in the corresponding toothed ring. The upper end of the threaded column is fixed to the bottom of the lifting platform. The rotating rod is horizontally installed between the two fixed cylinders, and two gears are coaxially fixed on the rotating rod. The two gears mesh perpendicularly with the outer teeth of the two toothed rings, respectively. A first crank handle is installed at the end of the rotating rod.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the lifting platform is provided with a groove that is horizontally downward perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipe, and the support block is slidably installed in the groove.

[0010] Preferably, the groove is a T-shaped groove, and a T-shaped slider that mates with the T-shaped groove is fixed at the bottom of the support block.

[0011] Preferably, the spacing adjustment assembly includes a lead screw horizontally mounted on the lifting platform perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipe, two support blocks respectively threaded onto the positive and negative threads on both sides of the lead screw, and a second crank handle installed at the end of the lead screw.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting plate has a vertical through hole, the support block has a threaded hole, and the fixing bolt passes through the through hole and is threaded into the threaded hole.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The distance between the two support blocks on the lifting platform of this application is adjustable, and the connecting plates on both sides of the lower clamp are respectively provided and detachably connected to the corresponding support blocks by bolt structure, so that this device can replace different types of pipe fasteners, thereby making this application adaptable to the use of pipe assemblies of different diameters and having stronger adaptability.

[0015] 2. When the pipe opening height needs to be adjusted, the first crank handle drives the rotating rod and gear to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed rings on the two fixed cylinders to rotate. Since the threaded column is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the toothed ring, the rotation of the toothed ring will drive the threaded column to move up and down, which in turn drives the lifting platform to perform lifting and lowering actions, thereby adjusting the pipe opening height of the upper pipe and making the two pipes on the same straight line.

[0016] 3. When the screw is rotated by the second crank, the positive and negative threads on the screw can make the two support blocks move away or closer synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support blocks, so that the device can be adapted to the installation of different types of pipe fittings. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the state of the pipe assembly when it is aligned.

[0018] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model proposes a novel pipe assembly connector, including pipe end fixing components installed at the ends of two pipes, with a support mechanism installed below the pipe end fixing components. Specifically, the pipe end fixing components include a semi-circular upper clamp 11 and a lower clamp 12, with the two clamp openings facing each other and clamped to the pipe ends. One end of the two clamps is hinged, and the outer edges of the other ends are fixed together by a bolt structure 14. After placing the pipe end in the lower clamp 12, the upper clamp 11 is rotated to close, and then the bolt structure 14 is used to lock and fix it, thus achieving quick installation of the pipe end fixing components, which is very convenient to use.

[0021] Connecting plates 13 are fixedly installed on both sides below the lower clamp 12, and the two connecting plates 13 are detachably fixed to the corresponding support blocks 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting plate 13 has a vertical through hole, and the support block 21 has a threaded hole, and the fixing bolt 131 is threaded into the threaded hole through the through hole.

[0022] The distance between the two support blocks 21 on the lifting platform 2 of this application is adjustable, and the connecting plates 13 on both sides of the lower clamp 12 are respectively provided and can be detachably connected to the corresponding support blocks 21 by means of bolt structure 14, so that this device can replace different types of pipe fixing parts 1, thereby making this application adaptable to the use of pipe assemblies of different diameters and having stronger adaptability.

[0023] The support mechanism includes a base 6, a lifting drive assembly, a lifting platform 2, and multiple telescopic rods 3. The lower part of the telescopic rods 3 is vertically fixed to the base 6, and the upper end of the telescopic rods 3 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting platform 2. The lifting drive assembly is installed between the base 6 and the lifting platform 2. Specifically, the telescopic rods 3 can adopt a sleeve 31 and a sliding rod 32 structure. The sleeve 31 is fixed to the base 6, and the sliding rod 32 is slidably fitted in the sleeve 31. The top of the sliding rod 32 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting platform. The lifting drive assembly includes a rotating rod 52, two fixed cylinders 42, and a threaded column 41. The fixed cylinders 42 are vertically fixed on the base 6. A toothed ring 421 is horizontally rotatably installed at the opening of the fixed cylinder 42. The lower end of the threaded column 41 is movably sleeved in the corresponding fixed cylinder 42 and threadedly sleeved in the corresponding toothed ring 421. The upper end of the threaded column 41 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting platform 2. Fixed plates 422 are fixed on the outer walls of the two fixed cylinders 42. The rotating rod 52 is horizontally installed on the fixed plates 422 of the two fixed cylinders 42. Two gears 51 are coaxially fixed on the rotating rod 52. The two gears 51 mesh perpendicularly with the outer teeth of the two toothed rings 421 respectively. A first crank 53 is installed at the end of the rotating rod 52.

[0024] When the pipe opening height needs to be adjusted, the first crank 53 drives the rotating rod 52 and gear 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed rings 421 on the two fixed cylinders 42 to rotate. Since the threaded column 41 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the toothed ring 421, the rotation of the toothed ring 421 will drive the threaded column 41 to move up and down, which in turn drives the lifting platform 2 to perform lifting and lowering actions, thereby adjusting the pipe opening height of the upper pipe and making the two pipes on the same straight line.

[0025] Two support blocks 21 are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the pipe nozzle fixing component, perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipe. The pipe nozzle fixing component is detachably installed on the two support blocks 21. The lifting platform 2 is also equipped with a spacing adjustment assembly connected to the two support blocks 21. A sliding groove is horizontally and downwardly formed on the upper surface of the lifting platform 2, perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipe, and the support blocks 21 are slidably installed in the sliding groove. The sliding groove is a T-shaped groove, and a T-shaped slider that mates with the T-shaped groove is fixed at the bottom of the support block 21. The sliding engagement between the T-shaped groove and the T-shaped slider improves the stability of the support block 21 during horizontal movement.

[0026] The spacing adjustment assembly includes a lead screw 22 horizontally mounted on the lifting platform 2 perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipe, two support blocks 21 respectively threaded onto the positive and negative threads on both sides of the lead screw 22, and a second crank 23 installed at the end of the lead screw 22.

[0027] When the second crank 23 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, the positive and negative threads on the lead screw 22 can make the two support blocks 21 move away or closer synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support blocks 21, so that the device can adapt to the installation of different types of pipe fittings.

[0028] When using this utility model, first select the corresponding model of pipe end fixing component according to the pipe diameter, and rotate the second crank 23 to adjust the distance between the two support blocks 21; then fix the pipe end fixing component to the two support blocks 21 with the fixing bolt 131; set this device at the pipe ends of the two pipes respectively, and use the two pipe end fixing components to fix the pipe ends of the two pipes; then rotate the first crank 53 to adjust the height of the lifting platform 2, so that the two pipes are on the same straight line, and the quick assembly and alignment operation of the two pipes can be realized.

The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application.
