Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pipeline laying technology, specifically to a pipeline anti-bending structure and equipment having a pipeline anti-bending structure. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial equipment, pipelines are typically laid out to connect various components, including but not limited to: signal transmission wires in electrical systems, fluid transport pipelines in hydraulic systems, and gas transmission pipelines in pneumatic systems. Proper pipeline layout plays a crucial role in the normal operation of the equipment. Currently, for pipelines that need to change their route, bending is commonly used. However, this method has the following drawbacks: when the degree of bending exceeds the pipeline's allowable range, it can easily lead to pipeline breakage or pipe collapse, reducing fluid flow efficiency and consequently causing abnormal equipment operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a pipeline anti-bending structure and equipment with a pipeline anti-bending structure, so that the pipeline can change its direction without bending, avoid pipeline breakage or cavity collapse, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0004] This application provides a pipeline anti-bend structure, comprising: a first plane; a first corner surface connected to the first plane; a second plane connected to the first corner surface, the second plane being perpendicular to the first plane, the first corner surface being configured to guide the pipeline to bend from the first plane to the second plane, so that the direction of the pipeline changes from a first direction to a second direction; a second corner surface connected to the second plane; and a third plane connected to the second corner surface, the third plane being parallel to the second plane, the second corner surface being configured to guide the pipeline to bend from the second plane to the third plane, so that the direction of the pipeline changes from the second direction to a third direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0005] In use, the aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure involves laying the pipeline sequentially along the first plane, the first corner plane, the second plane, the second corner plane, and the third plane. Guided by the first corner plane, the pipeline bends from the first plane to the second plane, and then, guided by the second corner plane, bends from the second plane to the third plane, thus changing the pipeline's direction from the first direction to the second direction, and then from the second direction to the third direction, thereby altering the pipeline's trajectory. Because the pipeline changes direction under the guidance of the first and second corner planes, there is no need to bend the pipeline, allowing it to change direction without bending, preventing pipeline breakage or cavity collapse, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
[0006] In some embodiments, the second corner surface is inclined relative to the first plane, and the distance between the second corner surface and the first plane gradually increases along the third direction.
[0007] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure, by limiting the second corner surface to be inclined relative to the first plane and limiting the distance between the two to gradually increase, allows the pipeline to bend from the second plane to a third plane parallel to the second plane under the guidance of the second corner surface, and changes the direction of the pipeline from the second direction to a third direction that is perpendicular to both the first and second directions.
[0008] In some embodiments, the pipeline anti-bend structure further includes a third corner surface and a fourth plane, the third corner surface being connected to the third plane, the fourth plane being connected to the third corner surface, the fourth plane being perpendicular to both the third plane and the first plane, and the third corner surface being configured to guide the pipeline to bend from the third plane to the fourth plane, so that the direction of the pipeline changes from the third direction to the first direction.
[0009] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure, by setting a third corner surface and a fourth plane, guides the pipeline from the third plane to the fourth plane, thereby changing the pipeline's direction from the third direction to the first direction, thus changing the laying direction of the pipelines arranged in rows.
[0010] In some embodiments, the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the third corner surface is greater than or equal to 10 mm.
[0011] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure, by limiting the diameter range of the circle containing the cross-section of the third corner surface to be greater than or equal to 10mm, smoothly guides the pipeline from the third plane to the fourth plane perpendicular to the third plane, thus preventing pipeline breakage or cavity collapse.
[0012] In some embodiments, the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the first corner surface is greater than or equal to 10 mm.
[0013] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure, by limiting the diameter range of the circle containing the cross-section of the first corner surface to be greater than or equal to 10mm, smoothly guides the pipeline from the first plane to the second plane perpendicular to the first plane, thus preventing pipeline breakage or cavity collapse.
[0014] In some embodiments, the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the second corner surface is greater than or equal to 5 mm.
[0015] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure, by limiting the diameter range of the circle containing the cross-section of the second corner surface to be greater than or equal to 5mm, smoothly guides the pipeline from the second plane to the third plane parallel to the second plane, thus avoiding pipeline breakage or cavity collapse.
[0016] In some embodiments, the pipeline anti-bending structure further includes a fixing clip disposed on at least one of the first plane, the second plane, and the third plane, the fixing clip being configured to allow the pipeline to pass through and clamp the pipeline.
[0017] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure, by setting fixing clips, secures the pipeline, preventing wear caused by vibration and thus improving the pipeline's service life.
[0018] In some embodiments, the fixing clamp includes a base plate, a clamping plate, and a pin. The base plate is disposed on a plane corresponding to the first plane, the second plane, or the third plane. The clamping plate is disposed opposite to the base plate to press the pipeline against the base plate. Pin holes are respectively provided at both ends of the clamping plate. A first barb is formed in the pin hole. The pin is disposed at both ends of the base plate. The pin has a plurality of spaced second barbs. The pin is movably inserted into the pin hole by the cooperation of the second barbs with the first barbs.
[0019] The above-mentioned pipeline anti-bending structure and fixing clamp are used by laying the pipeline flat in the space enclosed by the base plate and the two pins, inserting the clamp plate onto the two pins so that the pins are inserted into the pin holes, and fixing the clamp plate onto the two pins by the cooperation of the first barb and the second barb. The position of the clamp plate on the pins is adjusted according to the size of the pipeline so that the clamp plate cooperates with the base plate and the pins to clamp the pipeline.
[0020] In some embodiments, the pipeline anti-bending structure further includes a wiring surface connected to the first plane and parallel to the first plane, the wiring surface being used to lay the pipeline.
[0021] The aforementioned pipeline anti-bending structure achieves pipeline layout by setting up a wiring surface.
[0022] This application also provides a device with a pipeline anti-bending structure, wherein the pipeline anti-bending structure is the pipeline anti-bending structure described in any of the above technical solutions.
[0023] The aforementioned equipment with a pipeline anti-bending structure operates as follows: the pipeline is sequentially laid along a first plane, a first corner plane, a second plane, a second corner plane, and a third plane. Guided by the first corner plane, the pipeline bends from the first plane to the second plane, and then, guided by the second corner plane, bends from the second plane to the third plane, thus changing the pipeline's direction from the first direction to the second direction, and then from the second direction to the third direction, thereby altering the pipeline's trajectory. Because the pipeline changes direction under the guidance of the first and second corner planes, there is no need to bend the pipeline, allowing it to change direction without bending, preventing pipeline breakage or cavity collapse, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a pipeline anti-bending structure 100. The pipeline anti-bending structure 100 is applied in the laying of pipelines 200. Guided by the pipeline anti-bending structure 100, the pipeline 200 can be bent from 0° to 180° to smoothly change its direction. The pipeline anti-bending structure 100 can reduce the tension of the pipeline 200 during bending, maintain the direction of the pipeline 200, prevent pipeline breakage or cavity collapse, and also prevent wear of the pipeline 200. The number of pipelines 200 is usually multiple and arranged in a row. The pipelines 200 can be signal transmission wires, fluid transport pipes, gas transport pipes, etc. For ease of understanding and explanation, the embodiments of this application define as follows: Figure 1 The XYZ coordinate system shown can be a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction. This is not a limitation on the embodiments of this application.
[0035] Please refer to the above. Figures 1 to 4The pipeline anti-bend structure 100 includes a first plane 10, a first corner surface 20, a second plane 30, a second corner surface 40, and a third plane 50. Understandably, the first plane 10, first corner surface 20, second plane 30, second corner surface 40, and third plane 50 are all surfaces on the pipeline anti-bend structure 100. The first plane 10 is generally parallel to the XZ plane, and the first corner surface 20 is connected to the first plane 10. The second plane 30 is connected to the first corner surface 20, perpendicular to the first plane 10, and generally parallel to the YZ plane. The first corner surface 20 is configured to guide the pipeline 200 to bend from the first plane 10 to the second plane 30, so that the direction of the pipeline 200 changes from a first direction to a second direction. The second corner surface 40 is connected to the second plane 30. The third plane 50 is connected to the second corner plane 40, and the third plane 50 is parallel to the second plane 30. The second corner plane 40 is configured to guide the pipeline 200 from the second plane 30 to the third plane 50, so that the direction of the pipeline 200 changes from the second direction to the third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0036] In this embodiment, the pipeline anti-bending structure 100 is used such that the pipeline 200 is sequentially laid along the first plane 10, the first corner plane 20, the second plane 30, the second corner plane 40, and the third plane 50. Guided by the first corner plane 20, the pipeline 200 bends from the first plane 10 to the second plane 30, and then bends from the second plane 30 to the third plane 50, thereby changing the direction of the pipeline 200 from the first direction to the second direction, and then from the second direction to the third direction, thus changing the direction of the pipeline 200. Since the pipeline 200 changes its direction under the guidance of the first corner plane 20 and the second corner plane 40, there is no need to bend the pipeline 200, allowing the pipeline 200 to change its direction without bending, avoiding pipeline breakage or cavity collapse, thereby improving the service life of the pipeline 200 and ensuring the normal and stable operation of the equipment.
[0037] In this embodiment, the material of the pipeline anti-bending structure 100 includes, but is not limited to, metals, polymers, etc. The pipeline anti-bending structure 100 can be formed by integral molding, welding, gluing, injection molding, 3D printing, etc. It is understood that the portion of the pipeline anti-bending structure 100 containing the first plane 10, the first corner surface 20, the second plane 30, the second corner surface 40, and the third plane 50 is approximately a flat, bent structure. This flat, bent structure can be formed by integral molding, welding, gluing, injection molding, 3D printing, etc., or it can be formed by heating and bending after molding. In this embodiment, the second plane 30 and the third plane 50 are configured to be spaced apart, that is, there is a gap between the second plane 30 and the third plane 50. It is understood that in other embodiments, a solid may also be provided between the second plane 30 and the third plane 50; this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0038] In this embodiment, the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the first corner surface 20 is greater than or equal to 10 mm. The cross-section of the first corner surface 20 is approximately a quarter-circle arc. Thus, by limiting the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the first corner surface 20 to be greater than or equal to 10 mm, the pipeline 200 is smoothly guided from the first plane 10 to the second plane 30 perpendicular to the first plane 10, avoiding pipeline 200 breakage or cavity collapse.
[0039] In this embodiment, the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the second corner surface 40 is greater than or equal to 5 mm. The cross-section of the second corner surface 40 is approximately a semi-circular arc. Thus, by limiting the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the second corner surface 40 to be greater than or equal to 5 mm, the pipeline 200 is smoothly guided from the second plane 30 to the third plane 50 parallel to the second plane 30, avoiding pipeline 200 breakage or cavity collapse.
[0040] In this embodiment, the second corner surface 40 is inclined relative to the first plane 10, and the distance between the second corner surface 40 and the first plane 10 gradually increases from top to bottom along a third direction. Understandably, the inclination angle of the second corner surface 40 relative to the first plane 10 is, for example, 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. Thus, by limiting the second corner surface 40 to be inclined relative to the first plane 10 and limiting the distance between them to gradually increase from top to bottom, the pipeline 200, guided by the second corner surface 40, bends from the second plane 30 to the third plane 50 parallel to the second plane 30, and the direction of the pipeline 200 is changed from the second direction to a third direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Furthermore, the laying direction of the rows of pipelines 200 can be changed. In this embodiment, the rows of pipelines 200 are laid side-by-side along the third direction on the second plane 30, and guided by the second corner surface 40, the rows of pipelines 200 are laid side-by-side along the second direction on the third plane 50.
[0041] In this embodiment, the pipeline anti-bend structure 100 further includes a third corner surface 60 and a fourth plane 70. The third corner surface 60 is connected to the third plane 50, and the fourth plane 70 is connected to the third corner surface 60. The fourth plane 70 is perpendicular to both the third plane 50 and the first plane 10, and is approximately parallel to the XY plane. The third corner surface 60 is configured to guide the pipeline 200 to bend from the third plane 50 to the fourth plane 70, so that the direction of the pipeline 200 changes from a third direction to a first direction. Thus, by setting the third corner surface 60 and the fourth plane 70, the pipeline 200, guided by the third corner surface 60, bends from the third plane 50 to the fourth plane 70, so that the direction of the pipeline 200 changes from a third direction to a first direction, thereby changing the laying direction of the pipelines 200 arranged in a row.
[0042] In this embodiment, the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the third corner surface 60 is greater than or equal to 10 mm. The cross-section of the third corner surface 60 is approximately a quarter-circle arc. Thus, by limiting the diameter of the circle containing the cross-section of the third corner surface 60 to be greater than or equal to 10 mm, the pipeline 200 is smoothly guided from the third plane 50 to the fourth plane 70 perpendicular to the third plane 50, avoiding pipeline 200 breakage or cavity collapse.
[0043] In this embodiment, the pipeline anti-bending structure 100 further includes a fixing clip 80. The fixing clip 80 is disposed on at least one of the first plane 10, the second plane 30, and the third plane 50, and is configured to allow the pipeline 200 to pass through and clamp the pipeline 200. In this embodiment, fixing clips 80 are disposed on both the first plane 10 and the second plane 30. Thus, by providing fixing clips 80 to fix the pipeline 200, wear caused by vibration is avoided, which helps to improve the service life of the pipeline 200.
[0044] It is understood that in other embodiments, any one, any two, any three, or all of the first plane 10, the second plane 30, the third plane 50, and the fourth plane 70 may be provided with a fixing clip 80, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0045] Please see Figure 5In this embodiment, the fixing clamp 80 includes a base plate 81, a clamping plate 82, and a pin 83. The base plate 81 is disposed on a corresponding first plane 10 or a second plane 30. The base plate 81 can be fixedly connected to other structures in the equipment by screws passing through the corresponding plane, facilitating the fixation of the pipeline anti-bending structure 100 within the equipment. The clamping plate 82 is disposed opposite to the base plate 81 to press the pipeline 200 against the base plate 81. Pin holes 821 are respectively formed at both ends of the clamping plate 82, and first barbs 822 are formed within the pin holes 821. The pin 83 is disposed at both ends of the base plate 81, and has multiple spaced second barbs 831. The pin 83 is movably inserted into the pin holes 821 through the cooperation of the second barbs 831 with the first barbs 822. Both the first barbs 822 and the second barbs 831 are approximately wedge-shaped.
[0046] Thus, when the fixing clamp 80 is in use, the pipeline 200 is laid flat in the space enclosed by the base plate 81 and the two pins 83, and the clamp 82 is inserted onto the two pins 83, so that the pins 83 are inserted into the pin holes 821. The clamp 82 is fixed onto the two pins 83 by the cooperation of the first barb 822 and the second barb 831. The position of the clamp 82 on the pins 83 is adjusted according to the size of the pipeline 200, so that the clamp 82 cooperates with the base plate 81 and the pins 83 to clamp the pipeline 200.
[0047] In this embodiment, the pipeline anti-bend structure 100 further includes a wiring surface 90, which is connected to and parallel to the first plane 10. The wiring surface 90 is used to lay the pipeline 200. The portion of the pipeline anti-bend structure 100 containing the wiring surface 90 is approximately I-shaped, and this I-shaped structure can be connected to other structures in the equipment, allowing the pipeline anti-bend structure 100 to be connected to other structures in the equipment. Thus, by setting the wiring surface 90, the pipeline 200 can be laid out.
[0048] This application also provides a device with a pipeline anti-bending structure 100. The pipeline anti-bending structure 100 is the same as described in the above technical solution. The device can be a processing machine, cooling machine, purging machine, adsorption machine, network equipment, or other equipment requiring the laying of pipelines 200; this application does not specifically limit its application in this regard.
[0049] In this embodiment, the pipeline anti-bending structure 100, when in use, allows the pipeline 200 to be laid out sequentially along the first plane 10, the first corner plane 20, the second plane 30, the second corner plane 40, the third plane 50, the third corner plane 60, and the fourth plane 70. Guided by the first corner plane 20, the pipeline 200 bends from the first plane 10 to the second plane 30, then from the second corner plane 40 to the third plane 50, and finally from the third corner plane 60 to the fourth plane 70. This changes the direction of the pipeline 200 from the first direction to the second direction, then from the second direction to the third direction, and then from the point direction back to the first direction, thereby changing the laying direction of the pipeline 200 and thus changing the direction of the pipeline 200. Because the pipeline 200 changes direction under the guidance of the first corner surface 20, the second corner surface 40 and the third corner surface 60, there is no need to bend the pipeline 200. This allows the pipeline 200 to change direction without bending, avoiding pipeline breakage or cavity collapse, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
