Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of launch vehicle assembly technology, specifically to a support guide tube parking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the development and assembly of cryogenic liquid propellant launch vehicles, cryogenic conduits are commonly used in their propellant delivery systems. Because cryogenic conduits need excellent thermal insulation properties when transporting cryogenic media such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, their outer surfaces are typically coated and treated with an insulation layer in a specialized workshop before entering the rocket's final assembly stage. After insulation treatment, the conduits often need to be temporarily stored and supported before entering the assembly site to await assembly operations.

[0003] However, in practical applications, existing temporary catheter placement and support devices generally have the following problems: Poor adaptability: Most devices are fixed structures, lacking mobility and unable to be flexibly moved between different workshops as the conduit moves. If the conduit needs to be moved between different process workshops or assembly sites, additional manual handling or rebuilding of support frames is often required, making the operation cumbersome and increasing workload and time costs.

[0004] Limited operational height: Existing equipment typically has a fixed height, making it impossible to adjust for operator height. When conduits need to be handled by different processes or personnel, the fixed height can cause operational inconvenience, especially during conduit insulation treatment or assembly docking. This makes it difficult for workers to maintain a comfortable working posture, affecting work efficiency and accuracy.

[0005] Limited applicability: Due to the different diameter specifications of cryogenic conduits, the support grooves or fixing positions of existing support devices are mostly of a single size and cannot be compatible with multiple conduits. This means that when changing the conduit diameter, the support device needs to be replaced or modified, which not only increases production costs but also affects the continuity of work.

[0006] Insufficient stability: Some traditional support devices have simple structures, making the conduit prone to rolling or shifting after parking, posing certain safety hazards. This is especially true for longer or heavier conduits, which are more likely to sway during transfer and parking, affecting the integrity of the insulation layer and even posing a risk of damaging the conduit. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support device for placing conduits, which solves the problems of existing support devices being unable to be moved with the workshop, unable to adjust the height according to different operators, not being compatible with conduits of different diameters, and having unstable conduit placement.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A device for supporting and parking conduits, comprising: The sliding base allows it to slide and move on the ground; A height adjustment component is disposed on the sliding base; the height adjustment component has a height adjustment end capable of moving in a vertical direction; A catheter support is fixedly installed on the height adjustment end; the catheter support has two supporting inclined surfaces arranged at a certain angle to each other for limiting and supporting the catheter; the catheter support is provided with at least one binding hole.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the included angle between the two supporting inclined surfaces ranges from 45° to 135°.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the included angle between the two supporting inclined surfaces is 90°.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the number of binding holes is six.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the minimum distance between the two supporting inclined surfaces is 0-10mm; and the maximum distance between the two supporting inclined surfaces is 300-370mm.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the minimum distance between the two supporting inclined surfaces is 7mm; the maximum distance between the two supporting inclined surfaces is 340mm.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the bottom end of the catheter support is provided with a reinforcing rod; the reinforcing rod is connected to the height adjustment end.

[0015] A further technical solution includes an adapter fixing component; the adapter fixing component includes a top plate and a bottom plate that are detachably connected to each other; the top plate is fixed to the bottom end of the reinforcing rod; and the bottom plate is fixed to the height adjustment end.

[0016] A further technical solution is that the height adjustment component includes a cylinder and a lever; the height adjustment end is slidably disposed in the cylinder, and the extension distance of the height adjustment end is adjusted by compressing the lever.

[0017] A further technical solution is that the sliding base includes at least three feet and omnidirectional wheels disposed at the lower end of each foot; the upper ends of the at least three feet are connected and fixed together.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Two inclined support surfaces restrict the rolling of the conduit. The minimum horizontal distance between the openings of the two inclined support surfaces is 7mm, and the maximum horizontal distance is 340mm, which can accommodate conduits with an outer diameter of 20mm-350mm, thus greatly improving the applicability of the device. Six through-holes allow cable ties to be threaded through them to secure the conduit to the conduit support, preventing the conduit from rolling or shifting during transportation or storage, thereby ensuring stability and safety during storage.

[0019] The casters allow for flexible movement and rapid positioning of this device between workshops, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional fixed support frames that require manual handling. Furthermore, the brake pads lock the device in place, ensuring it doesn't shift during parking, thus improving stability and safety after relocation.

[0020] The height adjustment mechanism has an adjustable length of up to 15cm, which can flexibly accommodate operators of different heights, keeping the installation, removal, or insulation treatment of conduits within a comfortable range and reducing labor intensity. Extension and retraction are achieved by actuating the lever valve on the toggle plate, and the height is automatically locked after release, thus ensuring the convenience and stability of height adjustment.

[0021] The bottom end of the conduit support is equipped with a reinforcing rod, which is connected to the height adjustment end via an adapter. The adapter consists of a top plate and a bottom plate, which are fixed together by bolts. The top plate is connected to the reinforcing rod, and the bottom plate is connected to the height adjustment end. This structure not only increases the contact area for stress but also improves the overall load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the device, enabling it to remain stable when bearing large-diameter, heavy conduits.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] Example: like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a device for supporting and parking conduits, including a sliding base 10, a height adjustment component 20, a connecting and fixing component 30, a reinforcing rod 40, and a conduit support 50.

[0029] Specifically, the sliding base 10 can slide and move on the ground; the sliding base 10 includes four L-shaped feet and universal wheels located at the bottom of each foot; the upper ends of the four feet are connected and fixed together by a bottom ring 11; in this embodiment, there are four feet and four universal wheels; the universal wheels are equipped with brake plates 12.

[0030] Specifically, the height adjustment component 20 includes a cylinder 21, a lever 22, and a height adjustment end 24 with a rod valve 23; the cylinder 21 is coaxially fixed inside the bottom ring 11; the height adjustment end 24 is slidably disposed inside the cylinder 21, and the extension distance of the height adjustment end 24 is adjusted by compressing the lever 22, so that the height adjustment end 24 can move in the vertical direction; the end of the lever 22 away from the cylinder 21 is connected to a lever plate 25.

[0031] The cylinder body 21 has a total length of 25.5cm, a straight section outer diameter of 5cm, and a 10cm long tapered section with a 1°26′ taper at the bottom. A rod valve 23 is located at the top of the height adjustment end 24; compressing the rod valve 23 allows the height adjustment end 24 to extend or retract. The top of the height adjustment end 24 also has a 5cm long tapered section with a 1°26′ taper. The minimum length of the height adjustment end 24 is 41.5cm, the maximum length is 46.5cm, and the adjustable length is 15cm.

[0032] By pressing the toggle plate 25, the toggle lever 22 is driven to open the lever valve 23 of the height adjustment end 24, the height adjustment end 24 extends, and when the toggle plate 25 is stopped, the toggle lever 22 disengages from the lever valve 23, and the height of the height adjustment end 24 is locked.

[0033] Move the actuating plate 25 on the connecting disc. The actuating plate 25 opens the lever valve 23 and applies force in the retraction direction of the height adjustment end 24. The height adjustment end 24 retracts, and the actuating plate 25 stops being moved. The actuating lever 22 disengages from the lever valve 23, and the height adjustment end 24 is locked in height.

[0034] Specifically, the adapter fastener 30 includes a top plate 31 and a base plate 32 that are detachably connected to each other; the top plate 31 and the base plate 32 each have through holes; the top plate 31 and the base plate 32 are connected and fixed by bolts passing through the corresponding through holes; the top plate 31 is fixed to the bottom end of the reinforcing rod 40; the base plate 32 is fixed to the height adjustment end 24. The base plate 32 has an actuation port on its periphery for the actuating rod 22 to pass through; the top plate 31 and the base plate 32 have a diameter of 164 mm, a thickness of 2 mm, and the diameter of the through hole is 9 mm.

[0035] Specifically, the catheter support 50 is fixedly installed on the height adjustment end 24; the catheter support 50 has two supporting inclined surfaces 51 arranged at a 90° angle to each other for limiting and supporting the catheter; the minimum distance between the two supporting inclined surfaces 51 is 7mm; the maximum distance between the two supporting inclined surfaces 51 is 340mm; the catheter support 50 is provided with six binding holes 52.

[0036] The principles and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: In use, at least two of these devices are required. The conduit is then placed on the conduit supports 50 on both devices. Two supporting ramps 51 restrict the conduit's rolling. The minimum horizontal distance A between the two supporting ramps 51 is 7mm, and the maximum horizontal distance B is 340mm, accommodating conduits with an outer diameter of 20mm-350mm, thus greatly expanding the device's applicability. Six through-holes allow cable ties to be threaded through them to secure the conduit to the conduit supports 50, preventing the conduit from rolling or shifting during transport or storage, thereby ensuring stability and safety during storage.

[0037] The casters allow for flexible movement and rapid positioning of this device between workshops, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional fixed support frames that require manual handling. Simultaneously, the brake plate 12 locks the device in place, ensuring it remains stationary and improving stability and safety after transfer.

[0038] The height adjustment component 20 has an adjustment length of up to 15cm, which can flexibly accommodate operators of different heights, keeping the installation, removal, or insulation treatment of conduits within a comfortable range and reducing labor intensity. Extension and retraction are achieved by actuating the lever valve 23 via the toggle plate 25, and the height is automatically locked after release, thus ensuring the convenience and stability of height adjustment.

[0039] The bottom end of the conduit support 50 is equipped with a reinforcing rod 40, which is connected to the height adjustment end 24 via a transition fastener 30. The transition fastener 30 consists of a top plate 31 and a bottom plate 32, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The top plate 31 is connected to the reinforcing rod 40, and the bottom plate 32 is connected to the height adjustment end 24. This structure not only increases the contact area for stress but also improves the overall load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the device, enabling it to remain stable when bearing large-diameter, heavy conduits.
