Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guardrail technology, specifically to a clip for installing guardrails without welding. Background Technology

[0002] At oil production and gathering sites, production equipment needs to be replaced according to production requirements. Currently, most operating platforms are fixed designs, often leading to insufficient working space or misaligned connection points when replacing different equipment. To facilitate equipment replacement, workers need to disassemble components of the operating platform, especially the guardrails, to provide sufficient working space. This not only increases the workload on-site but also accelerates the wear and tear of operating platform components, increasing maintenance costs.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for installing guardrails on operating platforms. One method involves welding sleeves to the edge of the platform and then installing movable guardrails within the sleeves. The other method involves directly welding fixed guardrails onto the platform. However, both methods require cumbersome preparatory procedures, from hot work application approval to on-site safety control, a process that is time-consuming. Furthermore, guardrail installation often takes several hours to complete, severely impacting the normal progress of on-site operations. More importantly, operating platforms at oil production and gathering sites are high-risk locations; hot work can easily ignite leaked oil and gas, causing serious safety accidents and posing significant threats to the lives of on-site personnel and the safety of equipment and property. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, this invention provides a snap-on design for weld-free installation of guardrails. This eliminates the need for welding or drilling during guardrail installation, facilitating rapid installation. Furthermore, it allows for quick disassembly of the guardrail when changing equipment, improving work efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to provide a snap-on fastener for a weld-free installation of a guardrail, including a mounting sleeve on a mounting component installed on an operating platform, and a sleeve for inserting the upright of the guardrail on the operating platform. The mounting sleeve has an opening, a first set bolt, and a second set bolt. The opening is configured to allow the mounting component to enter the mounting sleeve so that the mounting component can be fixed by the first set bolt and the second set bolt.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting sleeve includes a top plate, a bottom plate arranged opposite to the top plate, and a first side plate and a second side plate disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate, wherein the second side plate is connected to the bottom plate and forms the opening between it and the top plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the top plate, the bottom plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate together define a mounting cavity for accommodating the mounting component.

[0008] Furthermore, the first set bolt and the second set bolt are respectively disposed on the base plate and the second side plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner; therefore, it only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a weld-free installation guardrail clip 100, comprising an installation sleeve 10 and a sleeve 20 connected to the installation sleeve 10. The installation sleeve 10 is installed on an operating platform, and the sleeve 20 is used to install the guardrail posts. The guardrail posts can be inserted into the sleeve 20. Thus, when removing the guardrail, only the posts need to be removed from the sleeve 20, without needing to remove the clip 100 at all.

[0023] In some embodiments, the mounting sleeve 10 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12 disposed opposite to the top plate 11, and a first side plate 13 and a second side plate 14 disposed between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12. The first side plate 13 connects the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12. The second side plate 14 connects to the bottom plate 12 and forms an opening 15 between itself and the top plate 11. The opening 15 is configured to allow a mounting component 200 on the operating platform to enter the mounting cavity 16 defined by the top plate 11, the bottom plate 12, and the first and second side plates 13 and 14.

[0024] In this embodiment, the top plate 11, the bottom plate 12, the first side plate 13, and the second side plate 14 are arranged perpendicularly to each other so that the cross-section of the mounting cavity 16 is square.

[0025] In some embodiments, a first set bolt 121 and a second set bolt 141 are respectively installed on the base plate 12 and the second side plate 14. When the mounting component 200 on the operating platform is in contact with the top plate 11 and the first side plate 13, the mounting component 200 can be fixed by tightening the first set bolt 121 and the second set bolt 141. Preferably, the thickness of the base plate 12 and the second side plate 14 is 1.00mm to 3.00mm greater than the thickness of the top plate 11 and the first side plate 13, so as to increase the load-bearing capacity when the first set bolt 121 and the second set bolt 141 are fixed.

[0026] In this embodiment, two of each of the first set bolt 121 and the second set bolt 141 are provided. Furthermore, the two first set bolts 121 and the two second set bolts 141 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the mounting sleeve 10 to avoid interference between them during installation. Preferably, the mounting holes of the first set bolts 121 and the second set bolts 141 are aligned with the force-bearing nodes of the mounting member 200 to ensure that the first set bolts 121 and the second set bolts 141 can firmly fix the mounting member 200 after tightening, thus preventing displacement of the clip 100 under force. More preferably, the torque of the first set bolts 121 and the second set bolts 141 during installation is between 30 N·m and 35 N·m.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the first set bolt 121 and the second set bolt 141 are high-strength bolts of M8 specification, and their surfaces are galvanized for rust prevention.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, the top plate 11, bottom plate 12, first side plate 13, and second side plate 14 of the mounting sleeve 10 can be connected by welding or integral molding. Specifically, the mounting sleeve 10 can be cut from a square steel tube profile. The length of the mounting sleeve 10 is in the range of 10cm to 15cm, preferably 10cm.

[0029] In some embodiments, the mounting member 200 may be an angle steel disposed at the edge of the operating platform, and the mounting member 200 as a whole has an inverted L-shaped structure. The opening 15 between the second side plate 14 and the top plate 11 extends along the axial direction of the mounting sleeve 10, and the size of the opening 15 is sufficient to allow the mounting member 200 to enter the mounting cavity 16.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, when installing the snap fastener 100 onto the mounting member 200, the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 can first be inserted into the mounting cavity 16 from the opening 15. Then, the snap fastener 100 is rotated so that the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 is parallel to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. Finally, the snap fastener 100 is pushed so that the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 is in contact with the first side plate 13 of the mounting sleeve 10. Obviously, the installation of the snap fastener 100 is very convenient and simple, and can greatly improve the installation efficiency. It should be understood that the corners of the mounting member 200 can be rounded, or the length of the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 can be less than the distance between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12, so that the snap fastener 100 can rotate relative to the mounting member 200 when the vertical plate 201 is in the mounting cavity 16, ensuring that the snap fastener 100 can be installed in place.

[0031] In some embodiments, the sleeve 20 is connected to the first side plate 13 and is arranged vertically. The bottom of the sleeve 20 is closed to support the upright of the guardrail. Preferably, the sleeve 20 is made of seamless steel pipe. The inner diameter of the sleeve 20 is 2mm larger than the diameter of the upright of the guardrail to ensure that the upright of the guardrail can be smoothly inserted into the sleeve 20 without wobbling. More preferably, the sleeve 20 and the first side plate 13 are connected by full welding, and the height of the weld is not less than 5mm to ensure the firmness of the connection between the sleeve 20 and the first side plate 13. If necessary, flaw detection should be performed after welding to avoid problems such as incomplete welding or missing welding.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the sleeve 20 is also provided with a fixing pin 21 so as to fix the upright of the guardrail after it is inserted into the sleeve 20.

[0033] Combination Figure 1-3 The following is a detailed description of the arrangement and installation process of the clip 100 provided in this application.

[0034] Before installation, the installation baseline for the clips 100 is marked on the operating platform according to the spacing design of the guardrail posts, ensuring that each clip 100 can be accurately installed in the designated position. Typically, the spacing between the guardrail posts is 1 meter.

[0035] When installing each clip 100, first insert the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 into the mounting cavity 16 through the opening 15. Then, rotate the clip 100 so that the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 is parallel to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. Next, push the clip 100 so that the vertical plate 201 of the mounting member 200 fits against the first side plate 13 of the mounting sleeve 10. Finally, tighten the first set bolt 121 and the second set bolt 141 to ensure that the clip 100 is securely installed on the mounting member 200.

[0036] After all the clips 100 are installed, insert each guardrail post into the sleeve 20 of each clip 100. Adjust the verticality of each post to ensure the deviation is no more than 1°. Finally, use the fixing pins 21 to secure the posts, thus completing the installation of the guardrail posts. This eliminates the need for welding or drilling during the entire installation process, completely avoiding hot work and significantly improving on-site safety. Furthermore, the installation of the clips 100 is very convenient and flexible, greatly shortening the deployment time of the guardrail. When equipment on the operating platform needs to be replaced, the guardrail posts can be quickly removed, providing ample working space for equipment replacement, reducing reliance on hoisting equipment, significantly reducing construction costs, shortening operation time, and increasing work efficiency. Clips 100 not only meet the safety and reliability requirements of oilfield gathering and transportation sites but also achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement by simplifying operation and increasing efficiency, providing a practical solution for upgrading and optimizing on-site construction equipment in the oil and gas industry.
