Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tower pipe valve technology, and in particular to a pipe clamping device for suspended water tower pipe valves. Background Technology
[0002] The suspended water tower pipe clamp device is an integrated mechanical device designed specifically for the pipeline system of suspended water towers. By integrating the pipe clamping mechanism, valve control components and mounting brackets, it achieves stable fixation of suspended pipes, precise control of water flow and convenient maintenance. At the same time, it meets the special requirements of high-altitude environment such as load-bearing capacity, wind resistance and corrosion resistance. It is a key node device connecting the suspended water tower body and the water supply and distribution network.
[0003] However, existing pipe clamping devices for suspended water towers have the following disadvantages:
[0004] (1) The fixed support of traditional suspended pipelines is a rigid structure and the height is difficult to adjust. When there is an error in the installation position of the suspended water tower pipeline or the height of the upstream and downstream pipelines is not matched, it is difficult to calibrate the concentricity of the valve and the pipeline, which can easily lead to stress concentration at the interface. Long-term use may cause the interface to loosen, leak, or even break the pipeline.
[0005] (2) Traditional pipe valves mostly use flange connections, which require disassembling bolts one by one to complete the disassembly and assembly. In a suspended environment, the space for high-altitude operations is limited, and the operation steps are complicated, which not only prolongs the maintenance time, but also increases the safety risks of personnel climbing and tool handling.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a pipe clamping device for suspended water tower pipe valves. Utility Model Content
[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0008] The problem solved by this utility model is to provide a highly practical pipe clamping device for suspended water towers, which solves the problems of difficulty in calibrating the concentricity of the valve and the pipeline and the cumbersome operation steps mentioned in the background art.
[0009] (II) Technical Solution
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a pipe clamping device for a suspended water tower pipe valve, comprising a fixing plate and a pipe valve, wherein the bottom of the fixing plate is provided with multiple countersunk holes and an adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate;
[0011] The adjustment assembly includes four threaded rods fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate. A mounting plate is fitted onto the surface of two of the threaded rods. Nut A and Nut B are threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rods respectively. Nut A and Nut B are located at the top and bottom of the mounting plate respectively. A connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. The pipe valve is located between the two connecting plates. A connecting assembly is provided between the pipe valve and the connecting plate.
[0012] The connecting assembly includes a mounting block and a slider, which are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate and the side of the valve. The front of the mounting block has a groove adapted to the slider. The inside of the mounting block has a cavity. A limiting plate is movably connected to the inner side wall of the cavity. A spring is connected between the bottom of the limiting plate and the inner bottom wall of the cavity. Multiple insert rods are fixedly inserted through the bottom of the limiting plate. The bottom of the slider has multiple slots adapted to the insert rods. The top of the insert rod is inserted into the inside of the slot.
[0013] Optionally, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each of the insertion rods. The support plate is waist-shaped, and the waist-shaped support plate connects the bottom ends of multiple insertion rods into a whole, so that the operator can control the raising and lowering of all insertion rods simultaneously in one operation, avoiding the cumbersome operation of individual insertion rods.
[0014] Optionally, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block. The pull ring provides a convenient point of force application for the operator. When working at height, it can be pulled directly by hook or by hand, which greatly improves the ease of operation of disassembling and assembling pipes and valves and reduces the difficulty of operating at height.
[0015] Optionally, elastic washers are provided between the bottom of nut A and the top of nut B and the mounting plate. The elastic washers are fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod and clamped between the nut and the mounting plate. The elastic washers can compensate for the gap in the threaded connection by their own elasticity, thereby enhancing the tightness of the fit between the nut and the mounting plate.
[0016] Optionally, a stop block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each threaded rod. The stop block is circular and can effectively limit the downward stroke of the mounting plate, preventing it from completely falling off the threaded rod and playing a safety limiting role.
[0017] Optionally, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the cavity, and a circular hole adapted to the limiting rod is opened at the bottom of the limiting plate. The limiting rod passes through the circular hole of the limiting plate, which can accurately limit the movement trajectory of the limiting plate, prevent it from deviating or tilting when moving up and down, and ensure that the insertion rod can be accurately aligned with the slot of the slider.
[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0019] This utility model provides a pipe clamping device for a suspended water tower pipe valve, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This suspended water tower pipe valve clamping device adopts a structure with threaded rod and double nuts. The height of the pipe valve can be easily and precisely adjusted by rotating nuts A and B. It can flexibly adapt to the installation height requirements of different suspended water tower pipes, solving the problems of traditional fixed supports being unable to be adjusted and difficult to match the pipe docking position. Especially when installing pipes at high altitudes, it can quickly calibrate the concentricity of the pipe valve and the upstream and downstream pipes, reduce stress concentration at the interface caused by height deviation, reduce the risk of water leakage, and improve the convenience and stability of system installation.
[0021] 2. This suspended water tower pipe valve clamping device, through the cooperation of a slider and groove and an elastic pin structure, enables the rapid assembly and disassembly of pipe valves. During installation, only three steps are required: pulling the pull ring, pushing in the slider, and releasing the pull ring. Disassembly can also be completed with simple operations, without the need for complicated tools. This significantly shortens the maintenance and replacement time of pipe valves in suspended environments, reduces the time and difficulty of high-altitude operations, lowers the safety risks for maintenance personnel, and avoids the tedious process of disassembling bolts one by one in traditional flange connections. This significantly improves maintenance efficiency and saves labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pipe clamping device for a suspended water tower pipe valve, including a fixing plate 1 and a pipe valve 101. The pipe valve 101 is used to control the flow of water in the pipe of the suspended water tower and to regulate the flow rate. It is a key component for realizing the control of the water supply system. The bottom of the fixing plate 1 is provided with multiple countersunk holes, and the bottom of the fixing plate 1 is provided with an adjustment component 2.
[0029] The adjusting assembly 2 includes four threaded rods 201 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 1. These rods serve as guides and load-bearing structures for adjustment, providing a track for the vertical sliding of the mounting plate 202. They also bear the weight of the valve 101 and related components, making them the core support for height adjustment. The mounting plate 202 is fitted onto the surfaces of two threaded rods 201. Nuts A 203 and B 204 are threaded onto the surfaces of the threaded rods 201 respectively. Tightening or loosening controls the fixing and movement of the mounting plate 202. Nut A 203 restricts the upward movement of the mounting plate 202, and nut B 204 restricts its upward movement. The mounting plate 202 moves down to lock the height of the pipe valve 101. Nut A 203 and nut B 204 are located at the top and bottom of the mounting plate 202, respectively. A connecting plate 205 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 202, which is a transition structure connecting the mounting plate 202 and the connecting component 3. The left connecting plate 205 fixes the left mounting block 301, and the right connecting plate 205 fixes the right mounting block 301, forming a clamping frame on both sides of the pipe valve 101. The pipe valve 101 is located between the two connecting plates 205, and the connecting component 3 is provided between the pipe valve 101 and the connecting plate 205.
[0030] The connecting assembly 3 includes a mounting block 301 and a slider 302, which are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 205 and the side of the valve 101. The front of the mounting block 301 is provided with a groove that matches the slider 302. The slider 302 has a movement track that restricts the slider 302 to be inserted or pulled out only in the horizontal direction, preventing the valve 101 from shifting laterally after installation. The mounting block 301 has a cavity inside. The inner wall of the cavity is movably connected to a limiting plate 303. The bottom of the limiting plate 303 and the inner bottom wall of the cavity are connected together with a spring 304, which provides a continuous upward elastic force to the insertion rod 305, ensuring that the insertion rod 305 is always inserted into the slot of the slider 302 when there is no external force pulling, forming a reliable lock and preventing the valve 101 from falling off accidentally. Multiple insertion rods 305 are fixedly passed through the bottom of the limiting plate 303. The bottom of the slider 302 is provided with multiple slots that match the insertion rods 305. The top of the insertion rod 305 is inserted into the inside of the slot.
[0031] The bottom end of each insertion rod 305 is fixedly connected to a support plate 4. The support plate 4 is waist-shaped. The waist-shaped support plate 4 connects the bottom ends of multiple insertion rods 305 into a whole, so that the operator can control the raising and lowering of all insertion rods 305 at the same time through one operation, avoiding the cumbersome operation of individual insertion rods 305.
[0032] A connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 4, and a pull ring 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 5. The pull ring 6 provides a convenient force application point for the operator. When working at height, it can be pulled directly by hook or by hand, which greatly improves the ease of operation of disassembling and assembling the valve 101 and reduces the difficulty of working at height.
[0033] Elastic washers 7 are provided between the bottom of nut A 203 and the top of nut B 204 and the mounting plate 202. The elastic washers 7 are fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod 201 and are clamped between the nut and the mounting plate 202. They can use their own elasticity to compensate for the gap in the threaded connection and enhance the tightness of the fit between the nut and the mounting plate 202.
[0034] Each threaded rod 201 has a stop 8 fixedly connected to its bottom end. The stop 8 is circular and can effectively limit the downward stroke of the mounting plate 202, preventing it from falling completely off the threaded rod 201 and playing a safety limiting role.
[0035] A limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the cavity. A circular hole adapted to the limiting rod 9 is opened at the bottom of the limiting plate 303. The limiting rod 9 passes through the circular hole of the limiting plate 303, which can accurately limit the movement trajectory of the limiting plate 303, prevent it from shifting or tilting when moving up and down, and ensure that the insertion rod 305 can be accurately aligned with the slot of the slider 302.
[0036] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0037] First step: When it is necessary to raise the valve 101, first loosen the B nut 204 at the bottom of the mounting plate 202, then rotate the A nut 203 at the top to move it upward. The A nut 203 will push the mounting plate 202 to slide upward along the threaded rod 201 until the target height is reached. Finally, tighten the B nut 204 to hold the bottom of the mounting plate 202 in place to form a fixed position. When it is necessary to lower the valve 101, first loosen the A nut 203, then rotate the B nut 204 to move it downward. The mounting plate 202 will slide down accordingly. After it is in place, tighten the A nut 203 to fix it.
[0038] The second step: When installing the pipe valve 101, first pull down the connecting block 5 and the support plate 4 through the pull ring 6, causing the insertion rod 305 to move down synchronously. At this time, the limiting plate 303 compresses the spring 304, and the top of the insertion rod 305 retracts into the cavity of the mounting block 301. Align the slider 302 on one side of the pipe valve 101 with the sliding groove on the front of the mounting block 301, and push it horizontally until the slider 302 is fully embedded in the sliding groove. Release the pull ring 6, and the spring 304 releases its elastic force to push the limiting plate 303 upward, causing the top of the insertion rod 305 to insert into the slot of the slider 302, forming a mechanical lock and completing the fixing of the pipe valve 101. When disassembling the pipe valve 101, pull down the support plate 4 again through the pull ring 6 to disengage the insertion rod 305 from the slot of the slider 302, release the lock, and pull out the pipe valve 101 horizontally. The slider 302 slides out along the sliding groove, thus separating the pipe valve 101 from the connecting plate 205.
