Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline support technology, and in particular to a pipeline fastening support connector. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial piping systems, building water supply and drainage, HVAC, petrochemicals, and energy transmission, efficient and stable pipeline installation is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the system. Pipeline support fittings, as core fixing components of the piping system, directly affect the pipeline's stability, seismic resistance, thermal expansion and contraction compensation capacity, and long-term service life. Existing support fittings mostly use direct bolt locking or simple clamp structures, which are difficult to adapt to the needs of different pipe diameters, materials (metal, PVC, composite pipes, etc.), and complex installation environments (such as confined spaces, high temperatures, and highly corrosive areas), resulting in insufficient installation flexibility.

[0003] Currently, Chinese invention patent with publication number CN117287570A and publication date of February 6, 2024 proposes a pipe fastener and support system, including: a support buckle plate and a clamping buckle plate, the support buckle plate and the clamping buckle plate are fastened to both sides of the pipe, both ends of the pipe are fixed with flanges, the surface of the flanges is provided with multiple reserved holes, and both ends of the support buckle plate are integrally formed with connecting ear plates.

[0004] When in use, place the support plate and support frame under the pipe, fasten the clamping plate to the pipe, and then insert the plug through the two sets of flanges to connect and fix the flanges.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the connection method of directly fixing two sets of flanges with insert rods to support two connected pipes may cause the two flanges to deflect or expand under different ambient temperatures or when the load shifts when the two pipes are transporting media. This increases the load on the insert rods, causing them to deform and greatly affecting the stability of the pipe support. Utility Model Content

[0006] To improve the support stability of pipe fastening support connectors, this utility model provides a pipe fastening support connector.

[0007] This utility model provides a pipe fastening support connector, which adopts the following technical solution: A pipe fastening support connector includes a support mechanism and a fixing mechanism. The support mechanism includes a support platform, and the fixing mechanism is located at both ends of the support platform. The fixing mechanism includes a fixing plate, a fixing rod, and a nut. The two ends of the fixing plate are set at a certain angle, and two through holes are formed on the fixing plate. The first end of the fixing plate is an abutment part, and the second end of the fixing plate is an arc-shaped receiving part. The two ends of the fixing rod pass through the through holes, and nuts are provided on the fixing rod. The fixing rod fixes the upper end of the pipe, and the fixing plate fixes the lower end of the pipe.

[0008] Optionally, the fixing mechanism further includes a clamping pad, which is fixedly disposed on the receiving part.

[0009] Optionally, the fixing mechanism further includes an elastic sleeve, which is sleeved on the fixing rod.

[0010] Optionally, multiple sets of fixing mechanisms are provided at both ends of the support platform, and a protective pad is provided on the support platform.

[0011] Optionally, anti-slip grooves are provided at the bottom end of the support platform and the top end of the abutment portion.

[0012] Optionally, the support mechanism further includes a mounting platform, the bottom end of which is fixed to the fixed end, and a support platform is provided at each end of the mounting platform.

[0013] Optionally, the support mechanism further includes a slide table and a limiting rod. A sliding groove is provided in the mounting platform, and two slide tables are slidably arranged in the sliding groove. One slide table is fixedly connected to one support platform. A limiting groove is provided at the upper end of the mounting platform, and a limiting rod is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the slide table. The limiting rod slides in the limiting groove.

[0014] Optionally, the support mechanism further includes a locking member, which is threadedly connected to the mounting platform, and one end of the locking member abuts against the slide.

[0015] Optionally, the support mechanism further includes a support frame and a mounting base plate, wherein the mounting base plate is fixedly installed to the fixed end, the upper end of the mounting base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame, and the top end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the mounting platform.

[0016] Optionally, the support mechanism further includes a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed to the top of the support frame, and the mounting platform is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By forming a symmetrical force system through the fixing mechanism at both ends, the pipe is prevented from deflecting due to uneven force on a single point. This achieves two-point locking of the two pipes, ensuring that each of the two connected pipes is fixed by a fixing mechanism, making the connection between the two pipes more stable and secure.

[0018] 2. Multiple fixing mechanisms can fix multiple pipes on one device at the same time, or the corresponding fixing mechanism can be selected according to the diameter of different pipes.

[0019] 3. The two fixed mechanisms can automatically move by sliding within the mounting platform to follow changes in the pipeline, reducing the possibility of increased local stress on the pipeline. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", 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 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.

[0024] This utility model discloses a pipe fastening support connector. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 A pipe fastening support connector mainly includes a support mechanism 100 and a fixing mechanism 200. The support mechanism 100 includes a support platform 110. The fixing mechanism 200 is located at both ends of the support platform 110. The fixing mechanism 200 includes a fixing plate 210, a fixing rod 220, and a nut 230. The two ends of the fixing plate 210 are set at a certain angle, and the angle between the two ends of the fixing plate 210 can be selected between 80 and 120 degrees. Two through holes 240 are opened in the middle of the fixing plate 210. The first end of the fixing plate 210 is an abutment part 211, and the second end of the fixing plate 210 is an arc-shaped receiving part 212. The middle part of the receiving part 212 is concave to receive the lower end of the pipe. The fixing rod 220 is U-shaped. The two ends of the fixing rod 220 pass through the through holes 240. Nuts 230 are provided on the fixing rod 220. The pipe is fixed by the fixing rod 220 and the fixing plate 210.

[0025] During the fixing process, the two pipes are placed on the support platform 110 and pre-connected. Then, the fixing rod 220 is placed on the upper end of the pipe, and the fixing plate 210 is placed on the lower end of the pipe. The bolts are then tightened gradually. When the U-shaped arc end of the fixing rod 220 is pulled and squeezed against the upper end of the fixing rod 220, the middle part of the fixing plate 210 is pulled upward, so that the abutting part 211 of the fixing plate 210 abuts against the support platform 110, and the receiving part 212 of the fixing plate 210 abuts against the lower end of the pipe, thereby achieving a wrap-around fixing of the entire pipe. The symmetrical force system formed by the two fixing mechanisms 200 avoids the deflection caused by uneven force on a single point of the pipe, and realizes two-point locking of the two pipes. Each of the two pipes is fixed by a fixing mechanism 200, making the connection between the two pipes more stable and firm. The arc-shaped receiving part 212 adapts to the pipe diameter and the shape structure fits the outer wall of the pipe, increasing the contact surface and dispersing local stress. It can adapt to different installation angles (such as inclined pipes) and improve environmental compatibility. This device saves some of the number of bolts and nuts 230 used, simplifies the installation steps, and eliminates the need for welding.

[0026] See attached document Figure 2 In some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 200 further includes a clamping pad 250, which is fixedly disposed on the receiving portion 212. The clamping pad 250 (such as rubber / polyurethane) increases the coefficient of friction to prevent axial slippage of the pipe; the clamping pad 250 can absorb high-frequency micro-vibrations during equipment operation, reducing pipe fatigue damage; the clamping pad 250 can prevent metal parts from directly contacting the pipe (especially non-metallic pipes), preventing scratches or crushing.

[0027] See attached document Figure 5In some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 200 further includes an elastic sleeve 260, which is fitted onto the fixing rod 220. The elastic sleeve 260 (such as silicone) allows for slight displacement when the pipe expands or contracts due to heat, preventing deformation of the support caused by rigid connection.

[0028] See attached document Figure 1 In some embodiments, multiple sets of fixing mechanisms 200 are provided at both ends of the support platform 110, and a protective pad 270 is provided on the support platform 110. The multiple sets of fixing mechanisms 200 can simultaneously fix multiple pipes on one device, or the corresponding fixing mechanism 200 can be selected according to the diameter of different pipes. The protective pad 270 isolates the pipes from the electrochemical corrosion of the metal support platform 110, extending its service life, and also provides a certain buffering effect.

[0029] See attached document Figure 5 In some embodiments, anti-slip grooves 300 are provided at the bottom end of the support platform 110 and the upper end of the abutment portion 211. The anti-slip grooves 300 increase the frictional resistance of the support surface and form a double anti-slip mechanism with the clamping pad 250, reducing the possibility of sliding displacement of the fixing plate 210 on the support platform 110, thereby reducing the possibility of pipe displacement after fixing.

[0030] See attached document Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 further includes a mounting platform 120, the bottom end of which is fixed to the fixed end, and a support platform 110 is provided at each end of the mounting platform 120. The mounting platform 120 provides overall stability and avoids the risk of misalignment caused by the independent installation of the support platforms 110. A gap is left between two adjacent support platforms 110, which can be used for some larger-sized connecting flanges between two pipes, making it convenient to fix and install the flanges between the pipes.

[0031] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3In some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 further includes a slide table 130 and a limiting rod 140. A slide groove 151 is provided in the mounting platform 120, and two slide tables 130 are slidably arranged in the slide groove 151. One slide table 130 is fixedly connected to a support platform 110. A limiting groove 152 is provided at the upper end of the mounting platform 120, and a limiting rod 140 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the slide table 130. The limiting rod 140 slides in the limiting groove 152. The slide table 130 can slide freely to adapt to different pipe spacings without the need to replace parts. At the same time, after the two pipes are fixed by the fixing mechanism 200, if the tension between the two pipes changes due to temperature or tension changes, the two fixing mechanisms 200 can automatically move by sliding the slide table 130 within the mounting platform 120 to follow the pipe changes, reducing the possibility of increased local stress on the pipes. The function of the limiting rod 140 and the limiting groove 152 is to limit the slide table 130 to a certain sliding range for self-adjusting sliding, reducing the possibility of the slide table 130 exceeding the sliding range and causing damage or breakage due to excessive compression or stretching of the pipes.

[0032] See attached document Figure 3 In some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 further includes a locking member 160, which is threadedly connected to the mounting platform 120, and the end of the locking member 160 abuts against the slide 130. When it is necessary to lock the slide 130, tightening the locking member 160 (such as a hand-tightening bolt) will fix the position of the slide 130, eliminating the need for additional fastening tools. The mechanical locking provides a secondary safety measure to prevent vibration from causing the slide 130 to shift.

[0033] See attached document Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 further includes a support frame 170 and a mounting base plate 180. The mounting base plate 180 is fixedly installed to the fixed end, and the upper end of the mounting base plate 180 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 170. The top end of the support frame 170 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 120. The support frame 170 is designed with different standard heights to adapt to overhead or trench laying. The mounting base plate 180 increases the contact surface with the building structure, reducing local pressure.

[0034] See attached document Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 further includes a hydraulic cylinder 190, the cylinder body of which is fixed to the top of the support frame 170, and the mounting platform 120 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 190. The hydraulic cylinder 190 adjusts the pipe height in real time to compensate for foundation settlement or equipment displacement, and can be connected to sensors to achieve intelligent leveling.

[0035] The implementation principle of the pipe fastening support connector in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: After the two pipes are pre-connected and placed on the support platform 110, the fixing rod 220 is placed across the top of the pipes and the fixing plate 210 is placed below the pipes. By tightening the nuts 230 at both ends of the fixing rod 220, the downward force is converted into an upward force using the U-shaped lever principle, driving the middle part of the fixing plate 210 to move upward. Simultaneously, the abutment part 211 presses against the support platform 110 and the arc-shaped receiving part 212 clamps the pipes, forming a two-point symmetrical locking. This design replaces the traditional multi-bolt structure with a single rod double-effect fixing, saving 50% of fasteners. Moreover, the arc-shaped surface adapts to the pipe diameter to disperse stress, and the entire process is weld-free, significantly improving the anti-skewness capability and installation efficiency of the pipe connection section.

[0036] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
