Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pipeline transportation technology, specifically to a pipeline support device. Background Technology
[0002] Pipeline transportation is a long-distance transportation method that uses pipelines as the means of transporting liquids and gases. It is characterized by safety, reliability, and strong continuity. However, during pipeline transportation, the high-speed flow of fluid in the pipeline or the pipeline being subjected to external forces can cause vibrations in the pipeline. Over time, this can lead to pipeline fatigue and stress concentration, making the pipeline susceptible to deformation, leakage, or even breakage. Therefore, support devices are often installed to elastically support the pipeline, buffer the vibrations generated by the pipeline, and dissipate the energy generated by the vibrations.
[0003] However, different fluid velocities and external forces on the pipe require different buffer strengths from the supporting devices. If the fluid velocities and external forces on the pipe do not match the buffer strength of the buffer device, the pipe is prone to deformation and rupture, leading to fluid leakage.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pipe support device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve or at least alleviate some or all of the aforementioned problems. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a pipe support device capable of adjusting the buffering strength of the pipe, so that the flow velocity of the fluid inside the pipe and the external force borne by the pipe are matched with the buffering strength of the device, preventing the pipe from deforming and breaking.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A pipe support device is provided for supporting a pipe, the pipe support device comprising:
[0008] Fixed base;
[0009] A support base and a shock-absorbing assembly are provided. The support base supports the pipe vertically. The shock-absorbing assembly includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and an elastic element. The first end of the first connecting rod is pivotally connected to the fixed base, and the second end of the first connecting rod is connected to one end of the elastic element. The first end of the second connecting rod is pivotally connected to the support base, and the second end of the second connecting rod is connected to the other end of the elastic element.
[0010] An adjustment assembly for bringing the first link and the second link closer together to compress the elastic element.
[0011] In some embodiments, the adjustment component includes a drive member fixedly connected to the fixed base and having its output end connected to the support base, the drive member being configured to drive the support base to move along the vertical direction.
[0012] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly further includes a turntable and a transmission component. The central axis of the turntable is coaxially connected to the output end of the drive component. A rotating shaft is provided on the surface of the turntable, and the central axis of the rotating shaft avoids the central axis of the turntable. One end of the transmission component is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the transmission component is rotatably connected to the support base. The drive component is configured to rotate to drive the support base to move along the vertical direction.
[0013] In some embodiments, the mounting base has a receiving cavity, and both the shock-absorbing component and the adjusting component are disposed within the receiving cavity.
[0014] In some embodiments, the peripheral sidewall of the support base is spaced apart from the sidewall of the receiving cavity.
[0015] In some embodiments, the first connecting rod has a receiving groove for the second connecting rod to move, one end of the elastic member is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the elastic member and the second end of the second connecting rod are accommodated in the receiving groove.
[0016] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the second link matches the inner contour of the receiving groove.
[0017] In some embodiments, the support base is provided with a limiting groove that matches the outer contour of the pipe.
[0018] In some embodiments, an anti-slip pad is also provided on the bottom wall of the limiting groove.
[0019] In some embodiments, the pipe support device further includes a clamping member, which is fixedly connected to the support base and together with the support base forms a clamping space for clamping the pipe.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0021] The pipe support device provided in this embodiment supports the pipe vertically via a support base. The first end of the first connecting rod is pivotally connected to the fixed base, and the second end of the first connecting rod is connected to one end of the elastic element. The first end of the second connecting rod is pivotally connected to the support base, and the second end of the second connecting rod is connected to the other end of the elastic element. Thus, when vibration occurs during pipe transportation, the pipe transmits the vibration to the support base. Then, according to the displacement direction of the vibration, the second connecting rod, which is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the support base, approaches the first connecting rod and compresses the elastic element to buffer the vibration, ensuring that the pipe will not deform, leak, or break due to vibration. By adjusting the component, the first and second connecting rods are brought close together to compress the elastic element before vibration occurs during pipe transportation, allowing the elastic element to accumulate elastic potential energy and adjust the buffering strength of the shock absorption component. Thus, the flow velocity of the fluid in the pipe and the external force borne by the pipe are matched with the buffering strength of the pipe support device. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Before explaining any implementation of this application in detail, it should be understood that this application is not limited to its application to the structural details and component arrangements set forth in the following description or shown in the above drawings.
[0034] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0035] In this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "and / or" relationship.
[0036] In this application, the terms "connection," "combination," "coupling," and "installation" can refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediary, while an indirect connection refers to two parts or components each being connected to at least one intermediary, with the connection achieved through the intermediary. Furthermore, "connection" and "coupling" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, but can also include electrical connections or couplings.
[0037] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that relative terms (e.g., “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions are to include the values and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances associated with the particular value due to manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. Such terms should also be considered as disclosing a range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values not using relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values with tolerances. Furthermore, “basically” when expressing relative angular relationships (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular) may refer to a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) added to or subtracted from the indicated angle.
[0038] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.
[0039] In this application, the directional terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are used to describe the orientation and positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when an element is mentioned as being connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional terms such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, and rear side not only represent positive orientation but can also be understood as lateral orientation. For example, "below" can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower rear.
[0040] Different fluid velocities and external forces within a pipeline necessitate varying buffer strengths in the supporting device. If the fluid velocity and external forces do not match the buffer strength of the device, the pipeline is prone to deformation and rupture, leading to fluid leakage. Therefore, adjusting the buffer strength of the supporting device to match the fluid velocity and external forces is crucial for solving the aforementioned technical problems. The following section will discuss this further. Figures 1 to 3 The pipe support device provided in this embodiment will be described in detail.
[0041] Figure 1 This diagram shows the structure of the pipe support device provided in this embodiment supporting the pipe 100. Figure 2 A partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the pipe support device provided in the embodiment is shown. Figure 3 An exploded view of the shock-absorbing component 3 provided in the embodiment is shown. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pipe support device provided in this embodiment is used to support the pipe 100. The pipe support device includes a fixed base 1, a support base 2, a shock-absorbing component 3, and an adjusting component 4. The support base 2 supports the pipe 100 in a vertical direction. The shock-absorbing component 3 includes a first connecting rod 31, a second connecting rod 32, and an elastic element 33. The first end of the first connecting rod 31 is pivotally connected to the fixed base 1, and the second end of the first connecting rod 31 is connected to one end of the elastic element 33. The first end of the second connecting rod 32 is pivotally connected to the support base 2, and the second end of the second connecting rod 32 is connected to the other end of the elastic element 33. The adjusting component 4 is used to bring the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 closer to each other to compress the elastic element 33.
[0042] The pipe support device provided in this embodiment supports the pipe 100 vertically via the support base 2. The first end of the first connecting rod 31 is pivotally connected to the fixed base 1, and the second end of the first connecting rod 31 is connected to one end of the elastic member 33. The first end of the second connecting rod 32 is pivotally connected to the support base 2, and the second end of the second connecting rod 32 is connected to the other end of the elastic member 33. Thus, when the pipe 100 vibrates during transport, the pipe 100 transmits the vibration to the support base 2. Then, according to the displacement direction of the vibration, the second connecting rod 32 and the first connecting rod 31, which are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the support base 2, approach each other and compress the elastic member 33 to buffer the vibration, ensuring that the pipe 100 will not deform, leak, or break due to vibration. By adjusting the component 4, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are brought close to each other and the elastic member 33 is compressed before the pipe 100 vibrates during transport. This allows the elastic member 33 to accumulate elastic potential energy and adjust the buffering strength of the shock-absorbing component 3, thereby matching the flow velocity of the fluid in the pipe 100 and the external force borne by the pipe 100 with the buffering strength of the pipe support device.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly 4 includes a drive member 41, which is fixedly connected to the fixed base 1 and its output end is connected to the support base 2. The drive member 41 is configured to drive the support base 2 to move vertically, thereby compressing the elastic member 33 and adjusting the buffering strength of the shock-absorbing assembly 3. Specifically, the adjustment assembly 4 also includes a turntable 42 and a transmission member 43. The central axis of the turntable 42 is coaxially connected to the output end of the drive member 41. A rotating shaft 421 is provided on the surface of the turntable 42, and the central axis of the rotating shaft 421 avoids the central axis of the turntable 42. One end of the transmission member 43 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 421, and the other end of the transmission member 43 is rotatably connected to the support base 2. The drive member 41 is configured to rotate and drive the support base 2 to move vertically, thereby forming a crank-slider mechanism. The rotation of the drive member 41 drives the support base 2 to move vertically, reducing the volume of the adjustment assembly 4 and thus reducing the overall volume of the pipe support device. It should be noted that the specific type of the driving component 41 in this embodiment is not limited. It can be a series of driving components that can output rotation, such as a stepper motor, servo motor or servo motor, as long as its output end can be coaxially connected with the central axis of the turntable 42 and drive the support base 2 to move in the vertical direction to compress the elastic component 33.
[0044] Continue as Figure 2 As shown, the fixed base 1 has a receiving cavity 11, and the shock-absorbing component 3 and the adjustment component 4 are both disposed in the receiving cavity 11, thereby protecting the shock-absorbing component 3 and the adjustment component 4 from being damaged by external forces.
[0045] In some embodiments, the peripheral sidewall of the support 2 is spaced apart from the sidewall of the receiving cavity 11, so that when the pipeline 100 vibrates during transportation, the pipeline 100 transmits the vibration to the support 2. Then, according to the displacement direction of the vibration, the second connecting rod 32 and the first connecting rod 31, which are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the support 2, approach each other and compress the elastic element 33 to buffer the vibration. Since the peripheral sidewall of the support 2 is spaced apart from the sidewall of the receiving cavity 11, the support 2 has a large buffer range, preventing the pipeline 100 from deforming, leaking or breaking due to vibration during transportation.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting rod 31 has a receiving groove 311 for the second connecting rod 32 to move. One end of the elastic element 33 is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311. The elastic element 33 and the second end of the second connecting rod 32 are housed in the receiving groove 311, thereby guiding the movement direction of the second connecting rod 32. This ensures that when the support 2 moves vertically, the second connecting rod 32 can move and compress the elastic element 33, adjusting the buffering strength of the shock absorption assembly 3. Specifically, the elastic element 33 is a spring, with one end fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 311 and the other end fixedly connected to the second end of the second connecting rod 32.
[0047] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the second link 32 matches the inner contour of the receiving groove 311, thereby ensuring that when the support 2 moves the same distance in the vertical direction, the compression degree of the elastic element 33 is the same, thus ensuring the consistency of the damping strength of the damping assembly 3.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the support base 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21 that matches the outer contour of the pipe 100, so that when the support base 2 supports the pipe 100 in the vertical direction, it prevents the pipe 100 from moving due to vibration and thus prevents the support base 2 from failing to support the pipe 100.
[0049] In some embodiments, an anti-slip pad 22 is also provided on the bottom wall of the limiting groove 21 to increase the friction between the pipe 100 and the support 2.
[0050] Continue as Figure 2 As shown, the pipe support device also includes a clamping member 5, which is fixedly connected to the support base 2 and together with the support base 2 forms a clamping space for clamping the pipe 100, thereby clamping the pipe 100 and preventing the pipe 100 from moving during vibration. It can also transmit the vibration generated by the pipe 100 to the support base 2 through the clamping member 5, further improving the vibration reduction effect of the pipe support device.
[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit this application in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of this application.
