Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating platform technology, specifically to a pipe cross connection component and connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Both offshore solar power generation and offshore aquaculture systems require large floating platforms. Currently, most mainstream floating platforms use steel frame structures. These types of floating platforms are large in size and inconvenient to process and transport. Therefore, floating platforms made of plastic pipes have emerged. In these plastic pipe-assembled floating platforms, the cross-connection structure is a key part, and its connection strength and installation efficiency directly affect the stability and lifespan of the platform.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent application with application number CN202510085596.8, entitled "Novel Pipe Cross Connection Structure," discloses a cross connection structure of this type, including a cross clamp, two cross clamps interlocking to connect a straight pipe and two disconnected pipes. Each cross clamp includes two locking clamps and side plates, with the two locking clamps of the same cross clamp arranged crosswise. Side plates are provided on the side walls of each locking clamp. Two lower-end double-column pipe fittings are also included, each including two column connectors and a connecting component. The connecting component connects the two column connectors. Two pedal connectors are also included, each including a horizontal support plate and a mating clamp, with the horizontal support plate positioned above the mating clamp. While this cross connection structure improves the fitting accuracy between the columns and other structures and increases installation efficiency, its numerous components and complex assembly lead to increased operating costs.

[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] As attached Figure 1 As shown in the attached figure, this utility model provides a pipe cross-connection component and connection structure, wherein the structure of the cross-connection component is as follows. Figure 2As shown, it includes a hollow socket 8, which is a round tube with a smooth inner wall; a first connecting part 9 and a second connecting part 18 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the socket 8, and the first connecting part 9 and the second connecting part 18 are located on the same radial line of the socket 8 and are mirror images of each other about the axis of the socket 8.

[0023] The first connecting part 9 and the second connecting part 18 have the same structure, both being round tubes, and a first flange 10 is fixedly installed at the end away from the sleeve part 8.

[0024] The first connecting part 9 and the second connecting part 18 may or may not be connected to the socket part 8. In this embodiment, neither the first connecting part 9 nor the second connecting part 18 is connected to the socket part 8.

[0025] The tops of the first connecting part 9 and the second connecting part 18 are respectively fixedly installed with a vertical first riser 11 and a second riser 19; both the second riser 19 and the first riser 11 are round pipes, and a reinforcing ring 13 is fixedly installed on the top of each.

[0026] The first riser 11 and the first connecting part 9, and the second riser 19 and the second connecting part 18 may or may not be connected.

[0027] At least one insertion hole 12 is provided on the side wall of both the second riser 19 and the first riser 11.

[0028] A horizontal support plate 15 is fixedly installed between the second riser 19 and the first riser 11, and two parallel limiting plates 14 are fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 15.

[0029] The support plate 15 is also provided with several fixing holes 16, which are vertical and extend downwards from the top of the support plate 15.

[0030] These fixing holes 16 are all located between the two limiting plates 14.

[0031] The bottom of the bearing plate 15 is connected to the sleeve part 8 by a support plate 20, which is used to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bearing plate 15.

[0032] The support plate 15 is used to install the wooden board, which is placed between the two limiting plates 14, and then bolts are used to connect the wooden board to the fixing holes 16. Of course, the wooden board can also be limited by either the fixing holes 16 or the limiting plates 14.

[0033] The top of both the first connecting part 9 and the second connecting part 18 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 17. The first reinforcing rib 17 is provided in segments, located between the first flange 10 and the first riser 11 on the first connecting part 9, between the first riser 11 and the sleeve part 8, between the sleeve part 8 and the second riser 19, and between the second riser 19 and the first flange 10 on the second connecting part 18.

[0034] A third reinforcing rib is fixedly installed between the socket 8 and the first connecting part 9, between the first connecting part 9 and the corresponding first flange 10, between the socket 8 and the second connecting part 18, and between the second connecting part 18 and the corresponding first flange 10.

[0035] This utility model also provides a cylindrical shape based on the cross-shaped connecting part, wherein the outer diameter of the small diameter part 24 is smaller than the outer diameter of the third connecting part 21.

[0036] A second flange 23 is fixedly installed at the end of the small diameter portion 24 away from the third connecting portion 21. The outer diameter of the second flange 23 is equal to the outer diameter of the third connecting portion 21. Of course, the outer diameter of the second flange 23 can also be slightly smaller, as long as it is not greater than the outer diameter of the third connecting portion 21.

[0037] Four second reinforcing ribs 22 are fixedly installed between the second flange 23 and the third connecting part 21 and the small diameter part 24.

[0038] Compared to traditional flange connections where the outer diameter of the flange is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe it connects to, the inward-facing pipe connector 1 in this embodiment has a more compact structure. Since the outer diameter of the second flange 23 is equal to the outer diameter of the third connecting part 21, even if the third connecting part 21 is fitted over the outside of the pipe during installation, it will not form a protrusion like a traditional flange, thus avoiding the stacking and transportation of the pipe.

[0039] With the same site or vehicle, more pipes with inward-facing pipe connectors 1 can be stacked, and the stacking structure is more regular and stable.

[0040] Using the concave pipe connector 1 of this embodiment, it can be pre-installed on the end of the pipe before loading and transportation. Alternatively, multiple pipes can be directly connected through the concave pipe connector 1 before transportation.

[0041] It also includes a third pipe fitting 7, the first end of which is connected to the first flange 10 on the second connecting part 18 of the cross connecting component 5 via a connector 3; the second end of the third pipe fitting 7 can also be detachably connected to the first flange 10 on the first connecting part 9 of another cross connecting component 5 via a connector 3.

[0042] The first flange 10 on the first connecting part 9 of the cross-connecting component 5 is connected to the connecting part 2 via the connector 3.

[0043] The connector 3 includes a sixth pipe body, which is a round pipe with an open first end and a sealed second end, and a second flange is fixedly installed thereon. The sixth pipe body is used to fix it to the connecting pipe fitting by heat fusion, and the second flange is bolted to the corresponding first flange 10.

[0044] All components in this invention are manufactured by injection molding.

[0045] When assembling the cross-connection structure of the pipe in this utility model, the sleeve part 8 needs to be sleeved on the first pipe fitting 4 first, and then the inner pipe connector 1, the third pipe fitting 7, the second pipe fitting 6 and the connecting part 2 can be installed.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
