Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warning landmark technology, specifically to a stainless steel landmark for gas pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, gas pipelines, as an important component of urban infrastructure, are receiving increasing attention for their safety and stability. To promptly detect and address safety hazards such as gas pipeline leaks, markers are typically installed above gas pipelines to facilitate quick location and inspection by patrol personnel. However, existing gas pipeline markers often face problems such as detachment and theft during long-term use, which not only affects their normal use but may also threaten the safe operation of the gas pipeline.
[0003] Currently, most gas pipeline markers on the market are made of cast concrete, which has low strength. Furthermore, due to long-term exposure to the outdoor environment, the connection between the marker and the ground is prone to loosening and corrosion, leading to marker detachment. In addition, some criminals deliberately steal metal parts from the markers for personal gain, further exacerbating the problem. Detached markers not only prevent inspectors from accurately locating gas pipelines, increasing the difficulty and cost of inspections, but also may prevent timely detection and handling of gas pipeline leaks or other emergencies, potentially causing safety accidents. Therefore, effectively preventing the detachment and theft of stainless steel gas pipeline markers has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a stainless steel grounding mark for gas pipelines.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a stainless steel landmark for gas pipelines, comprising: a warning mechanism, the warning mechanism including a pole and a warning sign set on the pole; and an anti-detachment mechanism inserted into the ground, the anti-detachment mechanism including an anti-detachment column and a detachment stopper, the anti-detachment column being vertically set on the pole and the detachment stopper being set on the side wall of the anti-detachment column.
[0006] In some embodiments of this utility model, the above-mentioned upright is a hollow structure, and a connecting ring is provided circumferentially on the inner side wall of the hollow structure. A connecting plate is provided at the end of the anti-detachment column that is connected to the upright, and the connecting plate and the connecting ring are connected by bolts.
[0007] In some embodiments of this utility model, the above-mentioned anti-detachment component includes anti-detachment rods symmetrically arranged on the anti-detachment post, and the anti-detachment post is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the anti-detachment rods, and the anti-detachment rods are hinged to the anti-detachment post.
[0008] In some embodiments of this utility model, a spreading mechanism is provided between the aforementioned anti-detachment rod and anti-detachment column. The spreading mechanism includes a sliding rod, a spreading ring, a connecting rod, and a spring. The anti-detachment column has a central receiving space, in which the sliding rod is provided. The spreading ring is slidably mounted on the sliding rod. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged to the spreading ring and the anti-detachment rod. The spring is sleeved on the sliding rod, and the spreading ring is grounded on the spring. The spring is used to push the spreading ring and drive the anti-detachment rod to separate from the anti-detachment column.
[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, a guide cone is provided at the end of the anti-detachment column away from the upright, and the guide cone has a conical structure.
[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the above-mentioned upright is provided with a pipe routing indicator.
[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side wall of the above-mentioned upright is provided with an installation groove, and a reflective mark is provided in the installation groove. Beneficial effects
[0012] 1. The warning signs set on the poles of the warning mechanism can clearly and intuitively convey relevant information about the gas pipeline to the surrounding people, such as the pipeline route, the unit to which it belongs, and safety warnings, so that people can quickly understand the situation when they approach the gas pipeline area, avoid damage to the gas pipeline due to misoperation or accidental situations, and ensure the safe operation of the gas pipeline.
[0013] 2. The anti-detachment posts are vertically installed on the poles and inserted into the ground, creating a stable connection between the landmark and the ground. The deep penetration of the anti-detachment posts increases the contact area and friction between the landmark and the ground, effectively preventing the landmark from tilting or falling off due to external forces, thus improving the landmark's stability. Anti-detachment components are installed on the side walls of the anti-detachment posts. During the insertion of the posts into the ground, the anti-detachment components can embed themselves into the surrounding soil or engage with the underground structure, further strengthening the connection between the anti-detachment posts and the ground. Even under significant external impact, they can effectively prevent the anti-detachment posts from being pulled out of the ground, thereby ensuring that the landmark will not fall off.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a stainless steel landmark for a gas pipeline, including: a warning mechanism, which includes a pole 1 and a warning sign 2 installed on the pole 1; and an anti-detachment mechanism inserted into the ground, which includes an anti-detachment column and a detachment stopper, wherein the anti-detachment column is vertically installed on the pole 1 and the detachment stopper is installed on the side wall of the anti-detachment column.
[0029] In this embodiment, the aforementioned pole 1 serves as the main support for the entire landmark, providing an installation location for the warning sign 2. It stands vertically on the ground, raising the warning sign 2 to a certain height so that it can be clearly seen by surrounding personnel. During installation, the bottom of the pole 1 is connected to an anti-detachment mechanism, which secures it to the ground, ensuring its stable standing. This provides reliable support for the warning sign 2, ensuring it is stably displayed at a suitable height, unaffected by minor external forces that could cause it to sway or tip over, thus guaranteeing the effective transmission of warning information. Raising the warning sign 2 to a certain height expands its visibility range, allowing people to notice gas pipeline information from a greater distance, enabling them to take preventative measures in advance and reducing safety accidents caused by accidental contact with gas pipelines.
[0030] In this embodiment, the warning sign 2 is affixed to the surface of the pole 1 by means of printing, engraving, or pasting. Through eye-catching colors, patterns, and text information, it conveys important information about the gas pipeline to people in the surrounding area, such as the pipeline's route, the unit to which it belongs, and safety warnings. When people approach the gas pipeline area, the warning sign 2 can quickly attract their attention and guide them to correctly identify and handle the gas pipeline.
[0031] In this embodiment, the anti-detachment column is vertically installed on the upright 1 and inserted into the ground during installation. The anti-detachment column penetrates deep into the soil, utilizing the friction and resistance generated by the soil, as well as its connection with the upright 1, to provide stable support for the entire landmark. When subjected to external forces, the interaction force between the anti-detachment column and the soil resists the force, preventing the landmark from tilting or falling off. Anti-detachment components are installed on the sidewalls of the anti-detachment column. During the insertion of the anti-detachment column into the ground, the anti-detachment components embed themselves into the surrounding soil or engage with the underground structure. When an external force attempts to pull the anti-detachment column out of the ground, the anti-detachment components encounter resistance from the soil, preventing the column from moving, thereby strengthening the connection between the anti-detachment column and the ground and preventing the landmark from falling off.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this example, the above-mentioned upright 1 is a hollow structure, and a connecting ring 3 is provided circumferentially on the inner side wall of the hollow structure. A connecting plate 4 is provided at the end of the anti-detachment column that is connected to the upright 1, and the connecting plate 4 and the connecting ring 3 are connected by bolts.
[0033] In this embodiment, the aforementioned upright 1 adopts a hollow structure design, which reduces its weight while ensuring a certain strength. The hollow part reduces the amount of material used, saving manufacturing costs. During installation, the hollow structure provides space for the installation and connection of internal components, and can be used to accommodate the connecting plate 4, preventing the bolts locking the connecting plate 4 and the connecting ring 3 from being exposed. After installation, the anti-detachment column is inserted into the soil, and the bolts are held to the ground by the upright 1, effectively preventing theft.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this example, the above-mentioned anti-detachment component includes anti-detachment rods 5 symmetrically arranged on the anti-detachment column, and the anti-detachment column is provided with a receiving groove 6 for accommodating the anti-detachment rods 5, and the anti-detachment rods 5 are hinged to the anti-detachment column.
[0035] In this embodiment, the aforementioned anti-detachment rods 5 are symmetrically arranged on the anti-detachment column. Before the anti-detachment column is inserted into the ground, the anti-detachment rods 5 are in a retracted state, located within the receiving grooves 6 opened on the anti-detachment column. After the anti-detachment column is inserted to a certain depth underground, through a specific triggering method, the anti-detachment rods 5 rotate outward around their hinge point with the anti-detachment column, extending out of the receiving grooves 6 and embedding into the surrounding soil. When an external force attempts to pull the anti-detachment column out of the ground, the anti-detachment rods 5 will encounter resistance from the soil, preventing the anti-detachment column from moving, thereby playing an anti-detachment role. After the anti-detachment rods 5 extend and embed into the soil, the friction and resistance between the anti-detachment column and the soil are increased, greatly improving the anti-detachment ability of the anti-detachment column, effectively preventing the landscaping from being pulled out by external forces, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the landscaping.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this example, a spreading mechanism is provided between the anti-detachment rod 5 and the anti-detachment column. The spreading mechanism includes a sliding rod 7, a spreading ring 8, a connecting rod 9, and a spring 10. The anti-detachment column has a central receiving space, in which the sliding rod 7 is provided. The spreading ring 8 is slidably disposed on the sliding rod 7. The two ends of the connecting rod 9 are respectively hinged to the spreading ring 8 and the anti-detachment rod 5. The spring 10 is sleeved on the sliding rod 7, and the spreading ring 8 is groundly connected to the spring 10. The spring 10 is used to push the spreading ring 8 and drive the anti-detachment rod 5 to separate from the anti-detachment column.
[0037] In this embodiment, the slide rod 7 is fixedly installed within the receiving space of the anti-detachment column, providing a track for the sliding of the opening ring 8. The opening ring 8 can move axially on the slide rod 7, which ensures the stability and directionality of the movement of the opening ring 8, allowing it to move only in a straight line along the length of the slide rod 7. The opening ring 8 is slidably installed on the slide rod 7 and can move along the slide rod 7 under the action of the spring 10. When the spring 10 is compressed, the elastic force of the spring 10 will push the opening ring 8 to slide on the slide rod 7. The opening ring 8 is connected to the anti-detachment rod 5 through the connecting rod 9. Its movement will drive the connecting rod 9 to move, thereby causing the anti-detachment rod 5 to rotate around the hinge point, realizing the opening of the anti-detachment rod 5. The opening ring 8 plays a role in force transmission, converting the elastic force of the spring 10 into the power to drive the connecting rod 9 to move, thus enabling the anti-detachment rod 5 to open smoothly. Through the movement of the opening ring 8, the effective transmission and conversion of force is achieved, ensuring the smooth opening action of the anti-detachment rod 5.
[0038] In this embodiment, the spring 10 is sleeved on the slide rod 7, and the spreading ring 8 abuts against the spring 10. Initially, the spring 10 is compressed, storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy. When the anti-detachment rod 5 needs to be spread, the elastic force of the spring 10 pushes the spreading ring 8 to slide on the slide rod 7, thereby driving the anti-detachment rod 5 to spread through the connecting rod 9. Through the action of the spreading mechanism, the anti-detachment rod 5 can be quickly and stably spread and embedded in the soil, greatly enhancing the connection strength between the anti-detachment post and the ground, effectively preventing the landscaping from being pulled out by external forces, and ensuring the long-term stable use of the gas pipeline landscaping. During installation, the spreading mechanism is in a retracted state and will not interfere with the insertion operation of the anti-detachment post. Installers only need to insert the anti-detachment post into the ground, and the spreading mechanism can automatically complete the spreading action of the anti-detachment rod 5, improving installation efficiency.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the end of the anti-detachment column away from the upright 1 is provided with a guide cone 11, which is a conical structure.
[0040] In this embodiment, the guide cone 11 is located at the end of the anti-detachment column furthest from the upright 1. Its conical structure ensures that the guide cone 11 contacts the ground first during the insertion process. Due to the characteristics of the conical structure, its tip can easily insert into the soil. As the anti-detachment column continues to be pressed down, the outer conical surface of the guide cone 11 gradually pushes the surrounding soil to both sides, creating an insertion channel for the anti-detachment column and guiding it smoothly into the ground. The conical guide cone 11 significantly reduces the friction between the anti-detachment column and the soil during insertion. The tip of the guide cone 11 concentrates force, making it easier to break through the soil surface, allowing the anti-detachment column to be inserted into the ground more easily, reducing the force and time required during insertion, and improving installation efficiency.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this example, the top of the pole 1 is provided with a pipe routing indicator 12.
[0042] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned installation of the pipe routing sign 12 on the top of the pole 1 is achieved by using the pole 1 as a support structure to fix the sign in a conspicuous position on its top.
[0043] When personnel approach the gas pipeline landmark, the pipeline route marker 12 is easily visible due to the relatively high position of the top of pole 1. The information on the marker visually conveys the route of the gas pipeline to the observer, allowing people to quickly understand the pipeline layout.
[0044] When carrying out repairs, renovations, or expansions of gas pipelines, construction workers can quickly determine the location and direction of the pipelines by referring to the pipeline direction markers 12 on the top of the support columns, avoiding blind digging and searching, thus saving construction time and improving efficiency. For example, in a complex urban pipeline network area, without clear markings, construction workers may need to spend a lot of time detecting pipeline locations, while with clear markings, the preparation time can be significantly shortened.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the side wall of the above-mentioned upright 1 is provided with an installation groove 13, and a reflective mark (not shown in the figure) is provided in the installation groove 13.
[0046] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 13 is formed on the side wall of the pole 1, and its shape and size are set according to the size and shape of the reflective sign. The mounting groove 13 provides a fixed installation position for the reflective sign, and the reflective sign is securely installed in the groove through specific installation methods, including but not limited to snap-fit connection, glue adhesion, bolt fixing, etc. The existence of the mounting groove 13 makes the reflective sign and the pole form an integral whole, preventing the reflective sign from easily falling off due to external factors.
[0047] It should be noted that reflective signs are typically made of special reflective materials, such as glass microbead reflective film or microprism reflective film. These reflective materials have the property of reflecting light back towards the source. When light shines on a reflective sign, the light is reflected back by the tiny particles or structures in the reflective material, creating a noticeable reflective effect. This reflective effect allows reflective signs to be clearly seen even in low-light environments.
[0048] When a vehicle approaches, its headlights illuminate the reflective markings, causing them to reflect brightly. This allows drivers to see the landmarks in advance and avoid the gas pipeline area, ensuring the safety of the pipeline.
[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
