Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline construction, and in particular to a pipeline support device. Background Technology
[0002] In water diversion projects, pipeline systems typically require anchor blocks to secure the pipelines, especially at bends. These anchor blocks are generally made of reinforced concrete and cast around the pipeline to prevent displacement due to changes in water pressure, temperature, or external loads.
[0003] Traditional construction methods typically involve the following steps: 1. Partial casting of the anchor block: First, cast the lower part of the anchor block until it is flush with the rammed earth surface; 2. Pipe welding: Weld the pipe at the corner to the adjacent straight pipe section to form a whole; 3. Overall hoisting: Use large hoisting equipment to hoist the welded pipe assembly onto the pier; 4. Complete the casting of the anchor block: Finally, cast the upper part of the anchor block to completely cover the pipeline.
[0004] However, this method places high demands on hoisting equipment: because the welded pipe assemblies are long and heavy, they must be hoisted by large-tonnage cranes, which increases construction costs and equipment scheduling difficulties. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of pipeline limiting mechanism that can provide stable support during the pipeline welding stage, reduce reliance on large hoisting equipment, and improve construction efficiency and positioning accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the technical problem that pipeline connections at the pier require welding before hoisting, relying on large-tonnage cranes for lifting, which increases construction costs and equipment scheduling difficulties, and to provide a pipeline support device.
[0006] This utility model provides a pipe support device, including two support parts arranged opposite to each other, a connecting part between the two support parts, and a limiting mechanism on each side of the top of the support part. The limiting mechanism includes a pad and a pushing component, and the pushing component is used to push the pad to abut against the pipe.
[0007] This utility model discloses a pipeline support device. In use, a limiting mechanism is installed at the construction position of the anchor block, and then the pipeline to be welded is hoisted onto the limiting mechanism. By adjusting the pushing component, the pad is pushed to make close contact with the outer wall of the pipeline, so as to achieve precise positioning of the pipeline. Under the support of the support part, the lower part of the pipeline has welding operation space, realizing the construction steps of hoisting the pipeline segment first and then welding at the anchor block. This avoids the traditional method of hoisting and welding the entire pipeline component and reduces the dependence on large-tonnage cranes. Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a baffle disposed on the top of the support portion, the baffle having mounting screw holes and being equipped with a pushing screw.
[0008] Adjusting the position of the pad by screwing ensures a secure fit between the pad and the pipe, adapting to different pipe diameters or installation errors, improving positioning accuracy. The pad position can be adjusted before pipe installation to facilitate pipe connection to the support.
[0009] Preferably, the pad has a limiting hole adapted to the pushing screw on the side near the pushing assembly.
[0010] To prevent the pads from shifting or falling off during the pushing process, ensuring support stability, and facilitating the application of uniform thrust by the screw.
[0011] Preferably, the pad has an arc-shaped support surface on the side near the pipe.
[0012] Increasing the contact area with the pipeline disperses local stress, avoids damage to the pipeline wall, and improves anti-slip capability.
[0013] Preferably, the support includes two columns, a crossbar is provided between the two columns, and the limiting mechanism is disposed on the crossbar.
[0014] The columns and crossbars form a rigid frame, providing stable vertical support and ensuring that the pipes do not sink or tilt during the welding process.
[0015] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is provided between the two columns, and the two ends of the reinforcing rod are respectively connected to the bottom of the two columns.
[0016] By connecting the bottoms of the two columns with reinforcing rods, the overall lateral force resistance of the support is enhanced, preventing the support structure from becoming unstable due to the weight of the pipe.
[0017] Preferably, a support rod is vertically provided between the crossbar and the reinforcing rod.
[0018] Enhance the overall load-bearing capacity of the support structure, reduce the bending deformation of the crossbars, and improve the structural rigidity.
[0019] Preferably, a first reinforcing plate is provided at the connection between the column and the crossbar, and at the connection between the column and the reinforcing rod.
[0020] By locally reinforcing key nodes, we can prevent weld cracking or structural deformation caused by stress concentration.
[0021] Preferably, the connecting part includes two connecting rods, and the two ends of each connecting rod are respectively connected to the corresponding columns of the two supporting parts.
[0022] Ensure that the two support parts are subjected to force synchronously to avoid imbalance of one-sided support, and at the same time facilitate overall hoisting and positioning.
[0023] Preferably, a second reinforcing plate is provided at the connection between the connecting rod and the column.
[0024] Improve the bonding strength between the connecting parts and the supporting parts to ensure overall stability.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model provides a pipe support device, which supports the pipe segment at the anchor position by setting two connected support parts, so that the lower part of the pipe has welding operation space after hoisting, avoiding the problem of the pipe component having to be hoisted and welded as a whole in the traditional method, thereby reducing the dependence on large tonnage cranes; 2. This utility model provides a pipe support device. By cooperating with the pad block provided on the support part, the pad block can be made to be in close contact with the pipe by adjusting the pushing component. This can provide stable support during pipe welding and prevent pipe displacement. Attached Figure Description
