Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seismic bracing technology, specifically to a combinable and expandable seismic bracing. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction process, pipelines are often laid to transport tap water, fire water, and natural gas. If these pipelines are directly fixed to the walls, they are prone to falling or breaking during an earthquake, which could lead to safety accidents. Given the enormous destructive power of earthquakes, seismic damping and anti-seismic facilities are usually installed during building construction. To prevent pipelines from falling or breaking during an earthquake, seismic supports are often installed on the walls.

[0003] However, the existing seismic bracing is of a fixed size and can accommodate a fixed number of pipes. Adding pipes later requires additional bracing, which increases both costs and the workload of staff. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a combinable and expandable seismic bracing to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A combinable and expandable seismic bracing system includes two support plates, each with multiple movable plates. A clamp assembly for fixing pipes is mounted on the top surface of each movable plate. A shock absorber is positioned between the clamp assembly and the movable plate. A groove is formed at one end of each support plate, and a first hinge is positioned within the groove. The first hinge connects the two support plates. The ends of the two support plates furthest from the first hinge along their length and width are both engaged by a first snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the first locking assembly includes a first fixing block and a second fixing block, which are respectively installed on one side of the two support plates.

The movable cavity is also provided with a return spring, and the two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the movable cavity at the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the second fixed block has a first limiting groove on each of its two opposite sides, and both first limiting grooves are connected to the movable cavity. The connecting rod has a first limiting block on each of its opposite bottom sides, and the first limiting block is slidably fitted in the first limiting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the headband assembly includes a lower clamp and an upper clamp. The outer side of the lower clamp is connected to the shock absorber, and one end of the upper clamp and the lower clamp are connected by a second hinge, while the other end is connected by a bolt.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple grooves are provided on the top surface of both support plates, and each groove corresponds to a multiple movable plate. Each movable plate has a slider on its bottom surface, and the slider slides within the groove.

[0011] The slide is provided with a second limiting groove on both sides. The second limiting groove extends along the length of the slide and is connected to the slide.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] In the above description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "one side," "the other side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] Furthermore, terms such as "identical" do not imply that components must be absolutely identical; minor differences are permissible. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the positional relationship between components is more perpendicular than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly perpendicular; a slight tilt is acceptable.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a combinable and expandable seismic brace, including two support plates 1, each of which is provided with multiple movable plates 2. The top surface of the movable plates 2 is provided with a hairpin assembly 4 for fixing pipes. A shock absorber 3 is provided between the hairpin assembly 4 and the movable plates 2. One end of each of the two support plates 1 is provided with a groove 5. A first hinge 6 is provided in the groove 5. The first hinge 6 is used to connect the two support plates 1. The ends of the two support plates 1 that are away from the first hinge 6 along the length direction and the ends that are away from the first hinge 6 along the width direction are both snapped together by a first snap-fit ​​assembly 7.

[0029] In this technical solution, the two support plates 1 are flipped by the first hinge 6, so that one side of the two support plates 1 in the length direction can be attached, or one side of the two support plates 1 in the width direction can be attached. After the two support plates 1 in the length direction are attached, the multiple hairband components 4 on the two support plates 1 are grouped in pairs, and each group of hairband components 4 is used to fix the same pipe.

[0030] In practical use, the unfolding method of the support plate 1 is first selected according to the existing number of pipes and the number of pipes that may be added in the future. If the number of pipes is small, the two support plates 1 can be flipped so that one side of the length direction of the two support plates 1 is attached, so that the multiple hairpin components 4 on the two support plates 1 correspond to each other. Then, the pipes are laid in the hairpin components 4 in categories, with two hairpin components 4 fitted on each pipe to improve the vibration reduction of the pipes. If the number of pipes is large, the two support plates 1 can be flipped so that one side of the width direction of the two support plates 1 is attached, so that the multiple hairpin components 4 on the two support plates 1 are distributed in a horizontal line. Then, different pipes are laid in different hairpin components 4.

[0031] This technical solution allows the two support plates 1 to be flipped using the first hinge 6. This not only allows the two support plates 1 to fit together on one side in the length direction, but also to fit tightly together on one side in the width direction. This enables the device to be flexibly combined and expanded according to the number of pipes, achieving the goal of reducing both procurement costs and the workload of staff.

[0032] In this embodiment: the first snap-fit ​​assembly 7 includes a first fixing block 71 and a second fixing block 72. The first fixing block 71 and the second fixing block 72 are respectively installed on one side of the two support plates 1. The top surface of the first fixing block 71 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 73, and the top surface of the second fixing block 72 is provided with a movable cavity 74. The top surface of the second fixing block 72 is also provided with a connecting plate 75. The bottom surfaces of the connecting plate 75 are respectively provided with snap-fit ​​blocks 76 that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​hole 73 and connecting rods 77 that slide in the movable cavity 74. The movable cavity 74 is also provided with a return spring 78. The two ends of the return spring 78 are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the movable cavity 74 at the end of the connecting rod 77 away from the connecting plate 75.

[0033] In practical use, after the two support plates 1 are flipped by the first hinge 6, the first fixing block 71 and the second fixing block 72 are also attached. Then, the operator pulls the connecting plate 75 upward, and the return spring 78 changes from a free extension state to a stretched state, so that the bottom end of the locking block 76 corresponds to the locking hole 73. Then, the connecting plate 75 is released, and the return spring 78 changes from a stretched state to a free extension state, so that the locking block 76 extends into the locking hole 73, thereby completing the fixation between the two support plates 1.

[0034] In this embodiment: the second fixing block 72 has a first limiting groove 79 on both sides inside, and both first limiting grooves 79 are connected to the movable cavity 74. The connecting rod 77 has a first limiting block 710 on both sides of the bottom end, and the first limiting block 710 is slidably engaged in the first limiting groove 79.

[0035] In practical use, during the process of pulling the connecting plate 75, the first limiting block 710 will slide up or down along the first limiting groove 79 as the reset spring 78 extends or retracts. The first limiting groove 79 can prevent the connecting rod 77 from sliding out of the movable cavity 74.

[0036] In this embodiment, the headband assembly 4 includes a lower clamp and an upper clamp. The outer side of the lower clamp is connected to the shock absorber 3. One end of the upper clamp and the lower clamp are connected by a second hinge 43, and the other end is connected by a bolt.

[0037] In practical use, the upper hairband 41 is opened by the second hinge 43, the pipe is placed on the lower hairband 42, and then the upper hairband 41 is flipped over again by the second hinge 43. The upper hairband 41 and the lower hairband 42 are then fixed with bolts, thereby fixing the pipe.

[0038] In this embodiment: the top surfaces of the two support plates 1 are provided with multiple sliding grooves 8, which correspond to multiple movable plates 2 respectively; the bottom surfaces of the multiple movable plates 2 are provided with sliders 9, which slide in the sliding grooves 8.

[0039] The slide groove 8 is provided with a second limiting groove 10 on both sides. The second limiting groove 10 extends along the length of the slide groove 8 and is connected to the slide groove 8. The slider 9 is provided with a second limiting block 11 on both sides. The second limiting block 11 slides and engages in the second limiting groove 10.

[0040] In practical use, when two support plates 1 are selected to be attached to each other on one side in the length direction, the two headband components 4 in the same group on the two support plates 1 can be adjusted. By pushing the movable plate 2, the movable plate 2 simultaneously drives the slider 9 to slide along the slide groove 8, and the second limit block 11 can prevent the slider 9 from sliding out of the slide groove 8.

[0041] In this embodiment: multiple fixing slots 12 are provided on the top surface of the support plates 1 on both sides of the slide 8, and a second snap-fit ​​component 13 adapted to the fixing slots 12 is provided on the movable plate 2.

[0042] In practical use, after the spacing between the two headband components 4 is adjusted, the movable plate 2 and the headband components 4 can be fixed by the second snap-fit ​​component 13.

[0043] In this embodiment: the second snap-fit ​​assembly 13 includes a movable rod 131, a buffer spring 132 and a movable block 133. A connection hole 134 is provided in the movable plate 2. The movable rod 131 extends longitudinally through the movable plate 2. The movable block 133 is fixedly installed on the movable rod 131 and located in the connection hole 134. The two ends of the buffer spring 132 are respectively connected to one side of the movable block 133 and one side of the inner wall of the connection hole 134.

[0044] In practical use, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the headband assembly 4, the staff first pulls the movable rod 131 upward, the buffer spring 132 changes from a freely extended state to a retracted state, and the bottom end of the movable rod 131 is flush with the bottom end of the movable plate 2. Then, the movable block 133 is pushed to the corresponding position. Then the movable rod 131 is released, the buffer spring 132 changes from a retracted state to a freely extended state, and the bottom end of the movable rod 131 extends out and is located in the fixed groove 12.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
