Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine oil engineering construction, and in particular relates to a portable towing device for the pump pipe of a long-shaft pump. Background Technology
[0002] In the offshore construction phase of offshore oil and gas platform projects, it is necessary to lower seawater lift pumps and diesel fire pumps into the pump pipes for installation, a process known as "pump lowering." Pump lowering is a crucial task during the offshore construction phase of oil and gas platform construction. A single pump typically has 11 pump pipe sections, each approximately 2 meters long and weighing about 150 kg. A typical offshore oil and gas platform module generally requires the installation of around 6 long-shaft pumps, resulting in a large number of pump pipes and a demanding installation task.
[0003] In traditional construction, pump pipes are typically transported to the installation location by long-distance towing using chain hoists and slings. This method is inefficient and has poor safety performance. Furthermore, the dense arrangement of mechanical equipment, pipelines, and electrical instrumentation within offshore oil and gas platforms, coupled with limited space, makes the towing of pump pipes slow and labor-intensive.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a portable towing device for the pump tube of a long-shaft pump to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problem mentioned in the background art that pump pipes are generally transported to the installation location over long distances using chain hoists and slings, resulting in low sliding efficiency and poor safety performance, a portable towing device for pump pipes of long-shaft pumps is provided to solve the problem of low pump pipe transport efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the portable towing device for the pump pipe of the long-shaft pump of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A portable towing device for a long-shaft pump tube includes an adjusting arm and a supporting arm. The supporting arm is slidably mounted on the adjusting arm. A steel plate is connected to the end of the adjusting arm away from the supporting arm. Support members are connected to the steel plate and are located at both ends of the pump tube to lift the pump tube off the ground. Rollers are connected to the steel plate via axles to allow the pump tube to rotate or move. A first bolt hole is provided on the adjusting arm, and a second bolt hole is provided on the supporting arm. The first bolt hole and the second bolt hole are connected by a first fastener to fix the supporting arm on the adjusting arm.
[0008] Furthermore, multiple first bolt holes are spaced apart along the length of the adjusting arm, and the first bolt holes and second bolt holes are connected by first fasteners so that the support arm is fixed at different positions of the adjusting arm.
[0009] Furthermore, symmetrical flanges are connected to both sides of the adjusting arm to allow the support arm to slide along the length of the adjusting arm.
[0010] Furthermore, two second bolt holes are provided at intervals on the support arm, and the support arm is fixed to the adjusting arm by connecting the first fasteners to the two second bolt holes respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, a third bolt hole is provided on the steel plate, and a second fastener is connected between the third bolt hole and the first bolt hole to fix the steel plate to the adjusting arm.
[0012] Furthermore, a support component is connected to the side of the steel plate away from the adjusting arm.
[0013] Furthermore, the steel plate is connected to the support arm to form a protrusion, so that the support is fixedly connected to the protrusion.
[0014] Furthermore, an axle is connected to the side of the steel plate away from the support, and rollers are connected to both ends of the axle to move the pump pipe.
[0015] Furthermore, a handle is vertically connected to the end of the support arm away from the adjusting arm.
[0016] Furthermore, the support arm is rectangular in shape.
[0017] The portable towing device for the pump pipe of the long-shaft pump of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0018] By sliding a support arm onto the adjusting arm, the fixed position of the support arm can be changed, thereby altering the overall length of the device during use. The pump pipe is supported at both ends by a support component, allowing construction personnel to move the pump pipe using rollers. This application features a simple and reasonable structure, easy operation, and adjustable device length and structural dimensions according to different working conditions.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
[0026] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 This invention describes a portable towing device for the pump tube of a long-shaft pump.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the portable towing device for the long-shaft pump pipe of this utility model includes an adjusting arm 1 and a supporting arm 2. The supporting arm 2 is slidably mounted on the adjusting arm 1. A steel plate 3 is connected to the end of the adjusting arm 1 away from the supporting arm 2. A support member 4 is connected to the steel plate 3. The support member 4 is located at both ends of the pump pipe so that the pump pipe is off the ground. The steel plate 3 is connected to a roller 6 through a wheel axle 5 so that the pump pipe can be turned or moved. A first bolt hole 7 is opened on the adjusting arm 1, and a second bolt hole 8 is opened on the supporting arm 2. The first bolt hole 7 and the second bolt hole 8 are connected by a first fastener 10 so that the supporting arm 2 is fixed on the adjusting arm 1.
[0028] By sliding the support arm 2 onto the adjusting arm 1, the fixed position of the support arm 2 is changed, thereby altering the overall length of the device during use. The pump pipe is supported at both ends by the supporting components, allowing construction personnel to move the pump pipe via the rollers 6. This application features a simple and reasonable structure, easy operation, and adjustable device length and structural dimensions according to different working conditions. It can be used for transporting pipe sections of varying sizes and can flexibly turn and traverse within confined platforms, improving transport efficiency. It changes the previous method of dragging and sliding with chain hoists and slings during pump pipe transport, significantly reducing labor load, manpower input, and operational safety risks.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple first bolt holes 7 are spaced apart along the length of the adjusting arm 1. The first bolt holes 7 and second bolt holes 8 are connected by first fasteners 10 so that the support arm 2 is fixed at different positions of the adjusting arm 1. Flange plates are symmetrically connected to both sides of the adjusting arm 1 so that the support arm 2 can slide along the length of the adjusting arm 1. Two second bolt holes 8 are spaced apart on the support arm 2. The support arm 2 is fixed to the adjusting arm 1 by connecting the first fasteners 10 to the two second bolt holes 8 respectively.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the adjusting arm 1 is rectangular in shape and has a plurality of first bolt holes 7 spaced apart along its length. The plurality of first bolt holes 7 are all located on the same straight line. A second bolt hole 8 corresponding to the first bolt holes 7 is provided on the support arm 2. The first bolt holes 7 and the second bolt holes 8 are connected by a first fastener 10, so that the support arm 2 is fixedly connected to the adjusting arm 1, thereby changing the overall length of use to accommodate workers of different heights.
[0031] Along the length of the adjusting arm 1, inwardly snap-fit flange plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjusting arm 1, thereby allowing the support arm 2 to slide along the flange plates. Preferably, the support arm 2 is provided with a plurality of second bolt holes 8 spaced apart, and the plurality of second bolt holes 8 are all located on the same straight line. When it is necessary to adjust the fixed position of the support arm 2, the support arm 2 is extended or retracted, and the adjusted first bolt holes 7 and second bolt holes 8 are fixedly connected by the first fastener 10, thereby fixing the support arm 2 to the adjusting arm 1.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a third bolt hole 9 is provided on the steel plate 3, and a second fastener 11 is connected between the third bolt hole 9 and the first bolt hole 7 so that the steel plate 3 is fixedly connected to the adjusting arm 1; a support member 4 is connected to the side of the steel plate 3 away from the adjusting arm 1; the steel plate 3 is connected to the support arm 2 to form a protrusion so that the support member 4 is fixedly connected to the protrusion.
[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, two third bolt holes 9 are provided along the central axis of the steel plate 3. The third bolt holes 9 are fixedly connected to the first bolt holes 7 by the second fastener 11, thereby fixing the steel plate 3 to the adjusting arm 1. The lower edge of the adjusting arm 1 is slightly higher than the lower edge of the steel plate 3, leaving space for welding the support 4.
[0034] The steel plate 3 is connected to the support arm 2 to form a protrusion. A support member 4 is welded to the protrusion. The support member 4 and the support arm 2 form a certain angle to meet the need to support the pump pipe and maintain stability.
[0035] Among them, the support component 4 is formed by bending the instrument pipe. When the pump pipe is being pulled, the support component 4 is stuck on the pipe flange, which serves to support and limit the movement.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a wheel axle 5 is connected to the side of the steel plate 3 away from the support 4, and rollers 6 are connected to both ends of the wheel axle 5 to move the pump pipe; a handle 12 is vertically connected to the end of the support arm 2 away from the adjusting arm 1; the support arm 2 is rectangular.
[0037] In this embodiment, a wheel axle 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the steel plate 3 away from the support 4. Preferably, the wheel axle 5 is composed of two hexagonal head bolts. The two hexagonal head bolts are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the lower edge of the steel plate 3, with the bolt heads on both sides. Before the hexagonal head bolts are welded to the bottom of the lower edge of the steel plate, the rollers are respectively fitted onto the two hexagonal head bolts, so that the device has the function of rotation and movement.
[0038] Preferably, the handle 12 is welded to the upper end of the support arm 2. The handle 12 is a short section of steel pipe, and the support arm 2 is a long strip of flat iron. The middle part of the handle 12 is welded and fixed to the upper end of the support arm 2.
[0039] The working principle of the portable towing device for the long-shaft pump pipe in this utility model is as follows:
[0040] First, pull out the support arm 2, determine the length to be used, and fix the support arm 2 by connecting the corresponding first bolt hole 7 and second bolt hole 8 through the first fastener 10.
[0041] Then, the support 4 is clipped onto the flanges at both ends of the pump pipe to support the pump pipe and keep it stable.
[0042] Finally, the construction workers pulled handle 12 to move the pump pipe in the designated direction.
[0043] This invention relates to a portable pump pipe towing device based on a long-shaft pump. By sliding a support arm 2 on an adjusting arm 1, the fixed position of the support arm 2 can be changed, thereby altering the overall length of the device during use. The pump pipe is supported at both ends by a support member 4, allowing construction personnel to move the pump pipe using rollers 6. This application features a simple and reasonable structure, easy operation, and adjustable device length and dimensions according to different working conditions. It can be used for transporting pipe sections of varying sizes and can flexibly turn and traverse within confined spaces, improving transport efficiency.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
