Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bracket technology, specifically to a pipe bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In existing pipe welding processes, for longer and heavier pipes, brackets are required to support the pipes and ensure stability during welding.

[0003] Most existing pipe supports use V-shaped supports. The opening size of the V-shaped support is constant. Removable rollers are installed on the two side walls of the V-shaped support, and their position on the support can be adjusted to support pipes of different diameters. However, the lifting range of this type of support is determined by the opening of the V-shaped support, making it unsuitable for larger or smaller pipes. Furthermore, when supporting large-diameter pipes, the rollers must be adjusted to the outermost edge of the V-shaped support, which raises the center of gravity of the supported pipe. For such large-diameter, heavy pipes, this increased center of gravity increases the risk and makes handling more difficult.

[0004] Therefore, there is room for further improvement in the existing pipe brackets. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, and in response to the technical problems of the existing pipe support having a small lifting range and a high center of gravity for lifting large-diameter pipes, which increases the difficulty of handling, this application provides a pipe support that is used to lift pipes, has a large lifting range, is widely applicable, and has a low center of gravity for lifting large-diameter pipes, which can reduce the difficulty of handling.

[0006] This application provides a pipe bracket, comprising: The support frame is configured as two symmetrically arranged; each support frame has at least two mounting slots. Support wheels are installed in the mounting slot; An adjustment mechanism, connected to at least one support frame, is used to adjust the distance between two support frames.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the pipe support of this application includes two support frames symmetrically arranged to form a lifting space. The two support frames provide support force for the pipe to ensure the stability of the support. Each support frame has at least two mounting slots for mounting support wheels. The height of the lifting space varies depending on the mounting slot in which the support wheels are located. The adjustment mechanism can adjust the distance between the two support frames to support pipes of different diameters. Compared with the fixed opening size of the V-shaped support frame in the prior art, the pipe support of this application has a larger lifting range. When it is necessary to lift large-diameter steel pipes, only the distance between the two support frames needs to be adjusted, without changing the installation height of the support wheels, thus keeping the center of gravity of the large-diameter pipes constant and reducing the difficulty of handling.

[0008] Preferred options also include: The mounting end is the end of the support frame with a mounting groove, and its end face is inclined in the vertical direction. The mounting grooves are spaced apart along the length of the mounting end, and the mounting grooves are open on the end face of the mounting end. The mounting ends of the two support frames form a lifting groove, and the top opening width of the lifting groove is greater than the bottom opening width.

[0009] In this embodiment, the mounting end is inclined and the mounting grooves are spaced apart along the length of the end face of the mounting end. When the support wheels are placed in different mounting grooves, the lifting height and lifting width of the resulting lifting space are different. Thus, when the two support frames remain stationary, the placement position of the support wheels can be adjusted to lift pipes of different diameters.

[0010] Preferably, the end face of the mounting end has a first included angle θ1 with the vertical plane, wherein 0° < θ1 < 90°; The opening extension line of the mounting groove has a second included angle θ2 with the end face of the mounting end, where 0°≤θ2≤90°.

[0011] In this embodiment, the limitation of the first included angle allows the end face of the mounting end to be tilted while providing support force to the pipe in both vertical and horizontal directions, thus ensuring good support stability; the limitation of the second included angle allows the mounting groove to conveniently place the support wheel while providing good limiting support for the support wheel, thus ensuring the placement stability of the support wheel.

[0012] Preferably, when 0° < θ2 ≤ 90°, the end faces of the mounting ends are on the same plane; When θ2 = 0°, the end faces of the mounting ends are not on the same plane.

[0013] In this embodiment, the end faces of the mounting end are on the same plane, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the support frame; and when the second included angle is 0 degrees, the extension line of the opening of the mounting groove is parallel to the end face of the mounting end, which can facilitate the processing of the mounting groove and also facilitate the workers to place the support wheel on the mounting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the support frame further includes: Two spaced-apart support plates, with the mounting groove located on the support plates; A fixing plate is located on the side of the support plate away from the mounting groove and is used to connect the two support plates. The base plate is located at the bottom of the support plate.

[0015] In this embodiment, the two support plates work together to support the support wheel, while also reducing manufacturing materials and lowering manufacturing costs.

[0016] Preferably, the support wheel includes: The support shaft has an outer diameter equal to or less than the width of the mounting groove, and both ends are at least partially located within the mounting groove. The bearing is fitted onto the support shaft; The rollers are mounted on the bearings and are located between the two support plates.

[0017] In this embodiment, by setting a bearing, the roller can rotate relative to the support shaft, and when the pipe is placed on the roller, the pipe can rotate on the bracket.

[0018] Preferred options also include: Mounting base, used to mount the support frame and adjustment mechanism; At least one support frame is slidably connected to the mounting base.

[0019] In this embodiment, the mounting base can provide space for the support frame and adjustment mechanism, and the support frame is slidably connected to the mounting base, so that the support frame has a stable and reliable support.

[0020] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes: A transmission component, connected to at least one support frame; The driving component, connected to the transmission component, is used to drive the support frame to move linearly.

[0021] In this embodiment, the transmission component can transmit the power of the driving component to the support frame, thereby causing the support frame to translate and adjusting the distance between the two support frames.

[0022] Preferably, the driving component is connected to the end of the transmission component and is used to drive the transmission component to rotate; The transmission component includes a threaded portion, which is threadedly connected to the support frame. or, The transmission component includes two threaded portions, which are respectively threaded to two support frames; wherein the threads of the two threaded portions are opposite.

[0023] In this embodiment, a threaded part is provided to adjust the displacement of one support frame while keeping the other support frame stable, thereby improving the stability of the support frame; two threaded parts with opposite threads are provided and connected to the two support frames respectively. When the drive component drives the transmission component to rotate, the two support frames can move closer or further apart synchronously, thereby improving the adjustment speed.

[0024] Preferred options also include: The connecting component is attached to the bottom of the support frame and has a threaded hole for the transmission component to pass through; Mounting holes are located at the bottom of the support frame and are used to install connecting components.

[0025] In this embodiment, the connecting component enables the connection between the support frame and the transmission component, simplifying the connection structure. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the following detailed, clear, and complete description of this disclosure is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this application, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0031] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, see below. Figures 1 to 5 illustrate.

[0032] This application provides a pipe support (hereinafter referred to as the support) for supporting welded pipes.

[0033] Specifically, it includes a mounting base 4, a support frame 1, support wheels 2, and an adjustment mechanism 3, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, two support frames 1 are provided, symmetrically arranged to form a lifting space. Each support frame 1 provides support for the pipe, ensuring stability. Each support frame 1 has at least two mounting slots 12 for mounting support wheels 2. The height of the lifting space formed by different mounting slots 12 for each support wheel 2 is different. A mounting base 4 is used to mount the support frame 1 and the adjustment mechanism 3. The support frame 1 is positioned on top of the mounting base 4. The adjustment mechanism 3 is connected to at least one support frame 1, and the support frame 1 connected to the adjustment mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the mounting base 4. The adjustment mechanism 3 can drive the support frame 1 to translate, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support frames 1, thus enabling the support of pipes of different diameters and providing a larger lifting range. The bracket of this application can support large-diameter pipes by adjusting only the distance between the two support frames 1, without changing the installation height of the support wheels 2, thus maintaining the center of gravity for supporting large-diameter pipes and reducing handling difficulty.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the opposite ends of the two support frames 1 are mounting ends 11, and mounting grooves 12 are provided on the mounting ends 11. The mounting grooves 12 are open on the end faces of the mounting ends 11. The end faces of the mounting ends 11 are inclined surfaces, which are inclined to the vertical direction. The end faces of the mounting ends 11 and the vertical surface have a first included angle θ1, where 0° < θ1 < 90°. The two mounting ends 11 of the two support frames 1 form lifting grooves. The top opening width of the lifting groove is greater than the bottom opening width, so that the lifting groove forms a V-shaped structure, which makes it convenient for workers to place the pipe in the lifting groove. Moreover, due to the inclined end faces of the mounting ends 11, the support frames 1 can provide vertical and horizontal support forces to the pipe at the same time, so as to ensure simultaneous vertical and horizontal positioning of the pipe and ensure the stability of the support for the pipe.

[0035] At the same time, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting grooves 12 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting end 11, and the mounting grooves 12 are equidistant from each other. Since the end face of the mounting end 11 is inclined, when the support wheel 2 is placed in different mounting grooves 12, the lifting height and lifting width of the resulting lifting space are different. Thus, without changing the distance between the two support frames 1, that is, without changing the width of the lifting groove, the position of the support wheel 2 on the support frame 1 can be finely adjusted to support pipes of different diameters, simplifying the operation steps and improving the flexibility of use.

[0036] In this application, references Figures 3 to 4 The lifting range of the bracket can be adjusted in three ways, as follows: The first approach is to keep the support frame 1 stationary and adjust the position of the support wheel 2 on the support frame 1. The second approach is to keep the support wheel 2 stationary and adjust the distance between the two support frames 1. The third approach is to adjust the position of the support wheel 2 on the support frame 1 while simultaneously adjusting the distance between the two support frames 1.

[0037] Therefore, the bracket of this application has multiple adjustment methods to adjust the lifting range, which can be applied to the lifting needs of different pipes. For example, when it is necessary to lift large-diameter pipes, a third method is adopted to widen the distance between the two support frames 1 and reduce the setting height of the support wheel 2 on the support frame 1. This can ensure the support of large-diameter pipes while reducing the lifting height and reducing the difficulty of moving the pipes onto the bracket.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the mounting groove 12 has a U-shaped structure. The extension line of the opening of the mounting groove 12 has a second included angle θ2 with the end face of the mounting end 11, where 0°≤θ2≤90°. The limitation of the second included angle allows the mounting groove 12 to conveniently place the support wheel 2 while providing good limiting support for the support wheel 2, thus ensuring the placement stability of the support wheel 2.

[0039] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, when 0° < θ2 ≤ 90°, the end faces of the mounting ends 11 are on the same plane, which makes the end faces of the mounting ends 11 corresponding to each mounting groove 12 on the same plane, thereby simplifying the structure of the entire support frame 1 and reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the support frame 1.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, when θ2=0°, the extension line of the opening of the mounting groove 12 is parallel to the end face of the mounting end 11, which makes the end faces of the mounting ends 11 corresponding to each mounting groove 12 not on the same plane. However, it is convenient to process the mounting groove 12 and also convenient for workers to place the support wheel 2 on the mounting groove 12, simplifying the usage steps.

[0041] Based on any of the above embodiments, the support frame 1 will be further described; such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a support plate 13, a fixing plate 14, and a base plate 15. Two support plates 13 are provided, arranged parallel to each other with a front-to-back gap. The sides of the two support plates 13 furthest from the mounting end 11 are connected and fixed by the fixing plate 14. The bottoms of the two support plates 13 are fixed by the base plate 15. In this embodiment, the height of the fixing plate 14 is less than that of the support plate 13, and the space between the two support plates 13 is used to accommodate the support wheel 2. The two support plates 13 working together can support the support wheel 2, while also reducing manufacturing materials and lowering manufacturing costs.

[0042] Based on any of the above embodiments, the support wheel 2 will be further described; such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the support wheel 2 includes a support shaft 21, a bearing, and a roller 22. The support shaft 21 has a columnar structure. The inner ring of the bearing is fixedly sleeved on the support shaft 21, and the roller 22 is fixedly sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing, thereby realizing the rotational connection of the roller 22 relative to the support shaft 21. The length of the roller 22 is less than the distance between the two support plates 13, the length of the support shaft 21 is greater than or equal to the distance between the two support plates 13, and the outer diameter of the support shaft 21 is equal to or less than the width of the mounting groove 12, so that at least part of both ends of the support shaft 21 can be placed in the mounting grooves 12 of the support plates 13 on both sides, so as to realize the stable support of the support frame 1 on the support shaft 21.

[0043] In this embodiment, the roller 22 can rotate relative to the support shaft 21. When the pipe is placed on the roller 22, the pipe can rotate on the bracket so that the pipe can be rotated flexibly during welding and the pipe can be welded at multiple angles and in multiple directions.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 4 has a rectangular structure with a closed bottom, openings at the left and right ends, and an opening at the top. The adjustment mechanism 3 is located inside the mounting base 4, the support frame 1 is located on top of the mounting base 4, and the bottom of the mounting base 4 is connected to the adjustment mechanism 3. Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a transmission component 31 and a driving component 32. The transmission component 31 is connected to at least one support frame 1, and the driving component 32 is connected to the transmission component 31. The driving component 32 provides driving force to the transmission component 31, and the transmission component 31 transmits the driving force to the support frame 1 so that the support frame 1 can move horizontally.

[0045] In an optional embodiment of this application, the transmission component 31 is a lead screw, and the driving component 32 is a motor or a handle; as shown Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the two ends of the transmission component 31 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 4 through bearings. The driving component 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the transmission component 31. The middle part of the transmission component 31 is threadedly connected to the support frame 1. When the transmission component 31 rotates, the support frame 1 is translated along the transmission component 31, thereby changing the distance between the two support frames 1.

[0046] When the transmission component 31 is provided with a threaded part 33, the displacement of one support frame 1 can be adjusted while the other support frame 1 remains stable, thereby improving the stability of the support frame 1. Specifically, the support frame 1 is provided with a threaded hole through which the transmission component 31 passes. The transmission component 31 rotates forward and backward to make the support frame 1 move away from or closer to the other support frame 1.

[0047] When the transmission component 31 is provided with two threaded portions 33, the two threaded portions 33 are distributed along the transmission component 31, and the two threaded portions 33 are respectively threadedly connected to the two support frames 1; wherein, the threads of the two threaded portions 33 are opposite, and when the transmission component 31 rotates, the two support frames 1 can be synchronously approached or synchronously moved away, thereby improving the adjustment speed.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a connecting component 34, which includes a connecting block and a limiting block. The connecting block has a threaded hole, and the base plate 15 of the support frame 1 has a vertical through mounting hole. One end of the connecting block passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the transmission component 31 through the threaded hole. The other end of the connecting block is connected to the limiting block, and the width of the limiting block is greater than the mounting hole, thereby realizing the limiting connection between the connecting component 34 and the base plate 15. The connecting block and the limiting block can be connected by screws.

[0049] In another optional embodiment of this application, the adjusting mechanism 3 is a linear drive motor, the drive end of which is connected to one of the support frames 1 for linear displacement. Its driving principle is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] It should be noted that the various embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined into new embodiments, provided that the solutions do not conflict and the technical solutions can coexist.

The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
