Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline support technology, specifically a pipeline support for a ground source heat pump unit. Background Technology

[0002] Ground source heat pumps are highly efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly systems that utilize shallow underground geothermal resources to provide heating, cooling, and hot water. They can transfer low-grade heat energy to high-grade heat energy by inputting a small amount of high-grade energy. They are widely used in various buildings such as hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, and villas. The core of the system consists of a water-source heat pump unit, a geothermal energy exchange system, and an internal building system. Pipes, as the energy transmission carrier of the ground source heat pump system, directly determine the system's energy efficiency and service life through their stable operation. Pipe supports, as the core support structure for pipe installation, must undertake key functions such as pipe fixing, load bearing, and posture maintenance. However, existing ground source heat pump units still have some problems in their use: First, the existing pipe clamps or support rings of the supports are mostly designed with fixed hole diameters, which can only be adapted to pipes of a specific diameter. This results in a narrow range of applications for the supports, which directly limits their application in different pipe diameter installation scenarios and reduces the overall practicality of the pipe supports. Secondly, existing pipe supports are generally set at a fixed height. However, in actual installation, the preset height of pipes varies in different scenarios. Fixed-height supports cannot flexibly match the support requirements of pipes of different heights, making it difficult to adapt to diverse installation conditions and ultimately reducing the overall flexibility of pipe support use. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the limitations of existing pipe supports in terms of application scope and the inability to flexibly adjust their height, this utility model aims to provide a pipe support for ground source heat pump units.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pipe support for a ground source heat pump unit, including a base, a vertical groove on one side of the base, a connecting plate on the top of the base, a height adjustment component on the lower surface of the connecting plate and the interior of the vertical groove, a support component movably mounted on the upper surface of the connecting plate, the support component including a lower support seat, the lower support seat being movably mounted on the upper surface of the connecting plate, a first bolt threaded between the lower support seat and the connecting plate, an upper support seat being movably engaged with the upper surface of the lower support seat, and a second bolt threaded between the upper support seat and the lower support seat.

[0005] Preferably, the height adjustment assembly includes a screw, which is damped and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove. A circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw. A slider is threaded onto the outer surface of the screw, and the outer surface of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove. A movable plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider, and the top end of the movable plate penetrates the vertical groove and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up a support component and installing it on the base in a movable structure, this application can realize the flexible replacement of support seats of different specifications on the bracket. This design can provide a more suitable support effect for pipes with different characteristics, effectively broaden the applicable scenarios of pipe brackets, and thus improve their overall practicality. 2. By adding a height adjustment component, this application can flexibly adjust the overall height of the pipe support according to the actual installation height requirements of the pipeline. This allows the support to better adapt to diverse installation conditions, avoids adaptation problems caused by fixed height limitations, and thus significantly improves the flexibility of pipe support use.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a pipe support for a ground source heat pump unit, including a base 1. The base 1 provides a stable installation foundation and supports the subsequent assembly of various components. A vertical groove 5 is provided on one side of the base 1. A baffle 4 is hinged to the inner wall of the vertical groove 5. The hinged baffle 4 can be opened and closed flexibly, which facilitates the later inspection and maintenance of the height adjustment component 3 inside the vertical groove 5, and can also cover the vertical groove 5 in the non-maintenance state to prevent foreign objects from entering and affecting the operation of the components.

[0015] A connecting plate 6 is provided above the base 1. The connecting plate 6 serves as the connecting carrier between the support component 2 and the height adjustment component 3, enabling stable assembly of the two. The lower surface of the connecting plate 6 and the interior of the vertical groove 5 are jointly provided with the height adjustment component 3. The height adjustment component 3 connects the lower surface of the connecting plate 6 and the interior of the vertical groove 5, providing a structural basis for subsequent height adjustment of the connecting plate 6 and the support component 2, ensuring that the height adjustment function can be stably transmitted to the support component 2, and preparing for adaptation to pipes of different heights. The upper surface of the connecting plate 6 is movably provided with the support component 2. The support component 2 is movably installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 6, breaking the limitations of traditional fixed connections, providing structural conditions for subsequent flexible replacement of support components 2 of different specifications, facilitating adjustment of the support structure according to the actual needs of the pipe, and improving the adaptability of the bracket to different pipes.

[0016] The support assembly 2 includes a lower support base 26, which is movably mounted on the upper surface of the connecting plate 6. This movable mounting allows the lower support base 26 to be flexibly disassembled or replaced according to pipe specifications, avoiding the problem of only being compatible with a single pipe due to fixed installation. A positioning rod 27 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower support base 26. Positioning holes 28 for use with the positioning rods 27 are symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the connecting plate 6. Correspondingly, the positioning rods 27 and positioning holes 28 are magnetically inserted. The lower support base 26 is magnetically inserted into the positioning holes 28 on the connecting plate 6 via the positioning rods 27, quickly achieving initial positioning of the lower support base 26 on the connecting plate 6 using magnetic attraction. The symmetrically arranged positioning rods 27 and positioning holes 28 ensure accurate installation of the lower support base 26, preventing offset, while the magnetic insertion method simplifies the installation process.

[0017] The lower support 26 and the connecting plate 6 are threadedly connected by a first bolt 25. The first bolt 25 secures the lower support 26 and the connecting plate 6 with threads. Based on the initial positioning by the positioning rod 27 and the positioning hole 28, the stability of the connection between the two is further enhanced. The upper support 24 is movably engaged with the upper support 26. The upper support 24 and the lower support 26 are movably engaged, which facilitates the quick opening and closing of the upper support 24 and makes it easy to place the pipe between the lower support 26 and the upper support 24. This simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the pipe and improves the convenience of using the bracket.

[0018] The lower support 26 and the upper support 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of a first anti-slip pad 21 and a second anti-slip pad 22. The first anti-slip pad 21 on the inner wall of the lower support 26 and the second anti-slip pad 22 on the inner wall of the upper support 24 are in direct contact with the pipe. The friction between the pipe and the support is increased by the friction of the anti-slip pads, which effectively prevents the pipe from sliding due to vibration or medium flow during the support process. The upper support 24 and the lower support 26 are threadedly connected by a second bolt 23. The second bolt 23 realizes the threaded locking of the upper support 24 and the lower support 26. The tightness of the bolt can be flexibly adjusted according to the pipe diameter to ensure stable clamping of the pipe and prevent the pipe from loosening.

[0019] The height adjustment component 3 includes a screw 32, which is damped and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove 5. The damping characteristic of the screw 32 allows it to remain stable at any rotational position, preventing it from rotating on its own due to its own weight or external force. A circular plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 32, providing a convenient force application point for rotating the screw 32. The operator can easily drive the screw 32 to rotate by rotating the circular plate 31 without the need for additional tools, simplifying the height adjustment operation.

[0020] The outer surface of the screw 32 is threaded with a slider 33. The screw 32 and the slider 33 are threadedly engaged. When the screw 32 rotates, the slider 33 can move along the axial direction of the screw 32. The outer surface of the slider 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove 5. At the same time, the slider 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove 5. The vertical groove 5 plays a guiding and limiting role for the slider 33, preventing the slider 33 from rotating synchronously with the screw 32, and ensuring that the slider 33 moves stably only in the vertical direction.

[0021] A movable plate 34 is symmetrically fixed to the upper surface of the slider 33. The movable plate 34 is symmetrically fixed to the upper surface of the slider 33, synchronously transmitting the vertical movement of the slider 33 to the connecting plate 6. The symmetrical arrangement ensures that the connecting plate 6 is subjected to balanced force. A rectangular groove 35 is symmetrically opened on one side of the base 1. The inner wall of the rectangular groove 35 is connected to a locking bolt 36 that is used with the movable plate 34 by a damping thread. The rectangular groove 35 provides installation space for the locking bolt 36. The locking bolt 36 with the damping thread can remain stable in any position, which is convenient to fix the movable plate 34 by tightening the locking bolt 36 after the height adjustment is completed, preventing the movable plate 34 and the slider 33 from moving on their own, and ensuring the stability of the adjusted height position. The movable plate 34 is an anti-slip plate. The end of the locking bolt 36 is in contact with one side of the movable plate 34. The movable plate 34 is made of anti-slip plate material to increase the friction between it and the end of the locking bolt 36. When the end of the locking bolt 36 contacts the movable plate 34, it can effectively prevent relative sliding between the two.

[0022] The top of the movable plate 34 passes through the vertical groove 5 and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 6, thereby achieving a rigid connection between the slider 33 and the connecting plate 6. This ensures that the lifting and lowering motion of the slider 33 can be fully transmitted to the connecting plate 6, thereby driving the support component 2 and the pipeline to lift and lower synchronously, ensuring the effective realization of the height adjustment function.

[0023] Working principle: Before use, the bracket assembly is completed. The lower support seat 26 of the support component 2 is magnetically inserted and positioned into the positioning hole 28 of the connecting plate 6 through the positioning rod 27. Then, the first bolt 25 is used to lock it, thus completing the fixation of the support component 2 and the connecting plate 6. The bracket foundation assembly is completed.

[0024] When supporting the pipe, first open the upper support seat 24 in the support assembly 2 that is movably connected to the lower support seat 26, place the pipe on the first anti-slip pad 21 on the inner wall of the lower support seat 26, close the upper support seat 24 so that the second anti-slip pad 22 fits against the pipe, and use the two anti-slip pads to increase friction to prevent the pipe from sliding. Use the second bolt 23 to lock the upper support seat 24 and the lower support seat 26 to achieve stable clamping of the pipe.

[0025] When replacing pipes of different specifications, if the difference in diameter is small, the second bolt 23 can be unscrewed directly to replace the pipe. If the difference in diameter is large, the first bolt 25 can be unscrewed, the positioning rod 27 can be pulled out, and the appropriate lower support 26 can be replaced and then fixed.

[0026] When adjusting the height of the bracket, first rotate the locking bolt 36 in the rectangular groove 35 of the base 1 to separate it from the non-slip movable plate 34 and release the fixation.

[0027] Rotating the circular plate 31 at the bottom of the screw 32 causes the screw 32 to rotate with damping in the vertical groove 5. The slider 33 is limited by the vertical groove 5 and moves vertically along the screw 32. The moving plate 34 drives the connecting plate 6, the support assembly 2 and the pipeline to rise and fall synchronously.

[0028] After adjusting to the target height, rotate the locking bolt 36 in the opposite direction to make it in close contact with the moving plate 34. The anti-slip properties of the moving plate 34 enhance the fixation and lock the overall height, thus completing the adjustment.

[0029] When the height adjustment component 3 needs to be inspected during long-term use, the baffle 4 hinged to the inner wall of the vertical groove 5 can be opened to inspect the screw 32, slider 33 and other components in the vertical groove 5. After maintenance, the baffle 4 can be closed to prevent debris from entering the vertical groove 5 and affecting the operation of the component, thus ensuring the stable operation of the bracket.

[0030] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
