[0001] This application belongs to the field of pipe support technology, specifically relating to a snap-fit ​​type power pipeline pipe support. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing density of underground power pipelines, traditional concrete or metal pipe supports are ill-suited to the modern, dense, and intelligent cable laying scenarios due to their heavy weight, poor corrosion resistance, and low construction efficiency. Plastic materials (such as HDPE and PP), with their lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and recyclable properties, combined with the flexibility of modular design and rapid installation, significantly improve the adaptability, construction efficiency, and overall life-cycle economics of pipeline systems. Existing split-type pipe supports are mostly combinations of individual split structures, which suffer from insufficient overall connection stability and long connection times. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a snap-fit ​​power conduit sleeper, which is a modular snap-fit ​​sleeper structure that can be quickly assembled, has a stable structure, and is highly adaptable, thus solving the problems of inconvenient connection and insufficient overall integrity of existing sleepers.

[0004] The objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A plug-in type power conduit support includes a first support block and a second support block. The first support block has a first pipe groove, and the second support block has a second pipe groove that matches the shape of the first pipe groove. The first support block has a U-shaped plug with elasticity on both sides, and the second support block has an I-shaped buckle groove that matches the buckle of the U-shaped plug and has openings on both sides.

[0006] Furthermore, both the first and second pillow blocks are rectangular parallelepiped structures.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example

[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a snap-fit ​​type power conduit sleeper includes a first sleeper block 1, a second sleeper block 4, and a reduced-diameter pipe fitting 7.

[0028] The first pillow block 1 serves as one segment, and the second pillow block 4 serves as another segment. The first pillow block 1 and the second pillow block 4 are spliced ​​together to form a complete modular pipe pillow. The first pillow block 1 is provided with a first pipe groove 2, and the second pillow block 4 is provided with a second pipe groove 5 that matches the shape of the first pipe groove 2. Thus, the two pipe grooves together form a complete channel to realize the installation of pipelines.

[0029] The first pillow block 1 is provided with a U-shaped plug 3 with elasticity on both sides, and the second pillow block 4 is provided with an I-shaped groove 6 with openings on both sides that matches the plug 3. When the U-shaped plug 3 enters the I-shaped groove 6, the elastic body on both sides is first compressed until the elastic body fully enters the openings on both sides and rebounds to achieve a latch. When removing, press the elastic body to pull out the U-shaped plug 3, ensuring that the first pillow block 1 and the second pillow block 4 can be quickly disassembled and assembled.

[0030] Both the first pillow block 1 and the second pillow block 4 are rectangular structures with a regular and square overall shape, which is beneficial for the processing and manufacturing of the tube pillows themselves, as well as for the assembly and connection of the tube pillows, and also for the stacking and expansion between tube pillows. Both the first pillow block 1 and the second pillow block 4 are made of plastic materials (such as HDPE and PP), which have the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and recyclable.

[0031] The first pillow block 1 and the U-shaped plug 3 are integrated into one structure, and the second pillow block 4 and the I-shaped fastening groove 6 are integrated into one structure, ensuring the connection strength between the pillow block and the fastening structure, and ensuring the overall strength of the tube pillow when the fastening is connected. The first pillow block 1 has U-shaped plugs 3 on both sides of the splicing surface, and the second pillow block 4 has I-shaped fastening grooves 6 on both sides of the splicing surface. The fastening structure is arranged on both sides, which is conducive to the stability and firmness of the structure.

[0032] The mountain-shaped plug 3 has a continuous three-peak waveform structure in its cross-section. The outer two peaks have enlarged heads, which are teardrop-shaped and have a certain elasticity after being pressed. The top of the enlarged head has a guide slope with an inclination angle of 15° to 20°. The I-shaped slot 6 has a streamlined structure with notches on both long sides.

[0033] Both the first pipe groove 2 and the second pipe groove 5 are semi-circular structures, thus forming a circular channel together to accommodate circular pipelines. The first pillow block 1 is provided with at least two first pipe grooves 2, and the second pillow block 4 has the same number of second pipe grooves 5 as the first pipe grooves 2. Preferably, more than three pipe grooves are arranged to integrate all pipelines and ensure the integrity of the pipeline installation.

[0034] The first pillow block 1 forms the lower pillow block 01 on its own. The first pillow block 1 and the second pillow block 4 form the middle pillow block 02 as a single unit. The second pillow block 4 forms the upper pillow block 03 on its own. One lower pillow block 01 and one upper pillow block 03 are each configured. However, the number of middle pillow blocks 02 can be flexibly adjusted to change the overall placement capacity and placement position.

[0035] Both the first pillow block 1 and the second pillow block 4 include a contour plate 04 and a reinforcing rib plate 05. The contour plate 04 is used to form the structural contour and the shape of the tube groove. The reinforcing rib plate 05 is arranged inside the contour plate 04 to form a hollow structure. The reinforcing rib plate 05 is used for internal support, which reduces the weight of the tube pillow while ensuring the support strength of the tube pillow. At the same time, the hollow structure also facilitates the operation of the buckle.

[0036] The reinforcing ribs 05 are arranged in at least one of the following shapes: straight, cross, asterisk, and rice-shaped. The upper and lower bolsters are mostly arranged in straight and asterisk shapes, while the middle bolsters are mostly arranged in cross and rice-shaped shapes.

[0037] The reduced diameter pipe fitting 7 is sandwiched between the first pipe groove 2 and the second pipe groove 5. The reduced diameter pipe fitting 7 has a reduced diameter profile smaller than the pipe groove profile. Since the diameter of the circular channel formed between the upper and lower pipe grooves is fixed, its adaptability is poor. Therefore, the internal diameter is reduced by the reduced diameter pipe fitting 7, and the smaller pipes can be installed by the reduced diameter profile. By replacing the reduced diameter pipe fitting 7 with different specifications, the installation of other pipe diameters can be met.

[0038] The reduced-diameter pipe fitting 7 is a one-piece plastic structure, comprising a grooved sleeve 701, a limiting flange 702, a reduced-diameter sleeve 703, and a supporting rib 704. The grooved sleeve 701 is sandwiched between the first groove 2 and the second groove 5, meaning the grooved sleeve 701 is located within the groove channel and fits snugly against both grooves. Limiting flanges 702 are provided on the outer periphery of both ends of the grooved sleeve 701. The limiting flanges 702 are annular rings that hold the retaining blocks in place, preventing the fitting from moving axially and detaching.

[0039] The inside of the pipe groove sleeve 701 is provided with a reduced-diameter sleeve 703 through support ribs 704. Several support ribs 704 are evenly distributed circumferentially and arranged radially. The support ribs 704 provide support for the reduced-diameter sleeve 703 through the pipe groove sleeve 701. The center of the reduced-diameter sleeve 703 forms a circular reduced-diameter profile for specific pipeline installation.

[0040] The foregoing basic examples and their further alternative examples can be freely combined to form multiple embodiments, all of which are embodiments that can be adopted and claimed in this application. In the scheme of this application, each alternative example can be arbitrarily combined with any other basic example and alternative example.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
