Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline installation and welding technology, and in particular to the installation and welding of nuclear-grade pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] During the installation and welding process of nuclear island pipelines, steel platforms are generally used for support and adjustment.

[0003] This application has revealed at least the following problems in the current pipeline installation and welding process during actual application:

[0004] (1) During the pipeline installation process, when the pipeline itself is heavy, it is impossible to use hoists or other tools for fine adjustment, resulting in poor pipeline welding quality;

[0005] (2) Because the pipeline is long, the center of gravity is far away from the pipe opening, and the stress accumulates at the weld, which affects the welding quality of the pipeline.

[0006] (3) The pipeline is large in mass and is a single pipeline. During the welding process, it is affected by stress at one end, and the pipe opening of the other end connected to the equipment may deviate from the expected position, which will ultimately affect the welding quality of the pipeline. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention aims to solve the problem of difficulty in making precise adjustments during pipeline installation in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a device for temporary support during pipeline installation, enabling precise position adjustment and reducing weld stress. This device allows the pipeline to move freely during installation and assembly, ensuring precise alignment, while simultaneously eliminating stress accumulation during welding. Furthermore, it adjusts the starting position of the weld according to changes in the position of the other end of the pipe.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes:

[0009] A support and adjustment device for pipeline installation includes a support plate, a flat plate, and a base plate, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The base plate has a plurality of bolt and nut assemblies, each with a first connecting member. The flat plate is mounted on the first connecting member and has a plurality of universal balls and limiting channel steel. The support plate is mounted on the universal balls and has a plurality of second connecting members. At least one hoist is mounted on each of the second connecting members on both sides. Each hoist has a semi-circular arc plate, and the support plate also has a semi-circular arc platform.

[0010] Preferably, the bolt and nut assembly includes a bolt and two nuts, with the nuts fitted onto the bolt.

[0011] Preferably, the first connector is disposed on the nut of the bolt and nut assembly, and the first connector is provided with a plurality of through holes, the diameter of which is greater than or equal to the diameter of the bolt and smaller than the diameter of the nut.

[0012] Preferably, a U-shaped frame is provided on the output shaft of the gate hoist, and the semi-circular plate is provided on the U-shaped frame.

[0013] Preferably, the flat plate is provided with a plurality of limiting frames, and the omnidirectional ball is disposed in the limiting frames.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate is provided with several support legs.

[0015] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a diagonal brace, one end of which is connected to the second connector and the other end is connected to the hoist.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. During the pipe installation alignment stage, this utility model can be used to adjust the height, level, and angle of the pipe, enabling precise pipe adjustment.

[0018] 2. This utility model is equipped with multiple universal balls. When the pipe is subjected to a horizontal force during the welding process, the pipe can move freely in the horizontal direction to eliminate the stress generated during the welding process. The starting position and direction of the next weld can also be determined by the direction of pipe movement, so that the position of the pipe can be guaranteed to be within a certain range.

[0019] 3. Compared with the traditional method of directly supporting pipes with a frame, this utility model can make fine adjustments before installation, detect the direction of stress during the installation and welding process to adjust the next weld, eliminate the internal stress of the weld, and serve as a fixed support for pipe installation after installation.

[0020] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
