Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipeline detection technology, and in particular to a bracket for a pipeline detector. Background Technology

[0002] Pipeline detectors can quickly and accurately detect the location, direction, and depth of underground water pipes, metal pipes, cables, etc., as well as the location and size of damage points in the anti-corrosion layer of steel pipes, without damaging the ground cover. They are one of the essential instruments for water companies, gas companies, railway communications, industrial and mining enterprises, and infrastructure units to renovate, repair, and survey underground pipelines.

[0003] Current pipeline detectors integrate the transmitter, receiver, and processor into a single, compact unit. During pipeline depth detection, workers use a handheld detector, initially pointing it perpendicular to the ground at a 90° angle to locate the buried pipeline. This initial point on the ground is recorded as point A. The detector's angle is then adjusted to 45°, and the worker maintains this angle while backing away. When the pipeline is detected again, this point is recorded as point B. Based on the isosceles triangle principle, the distance between points A and B represents the pipeline's burial depth. Currently, using a handheld detector manually makes it difficult to precisely maintain the incident angle, resulting in low accuracy in pipeline depth detection. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the accuracy of pipeline depth detection, this application provides a support for a pipeline detector.

[0005] The bracket for a pipeline detector provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A support for a pipeline detector includes a base, an upright arm fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base, a clamping seat hinged to the upper part of the upright arm, an angle adjustment component for adjusting the rotation angle of the clamping seat on the upright arm, and a clamping plate for clamping the handle of the detector slidably connected to the clamping seat. Two clamping plates are provided, and the clamping seat is provided with a clamping drive component for driving the clamping plates to slide.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the two clamping plates can slide under the drive of the clamping drive assembly to achieve a stable clamping of the detector handle, thereby installing the detector on the clamping seat. The clamping seat can be hinged and rotated, and the rotation angle of the clamping seat can be precisely adjusted by the angle adjustment assembly, thereby accurately controlling the incident angle of the detector and improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection.

[0007] Preferably, a hinge seat is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the upright arm. The hinge seat has a hinge groove. A hinge block is fixedly protruding from the outer wall of the clamping seat and hinged to the hinge groove. A hinge shaft is fixed to the hinge block. The hinge shaft rotatably passes through the hinge seat. The end of the hinge shaft has a threaded section. The angle adjustment component is a limiting nut that is threaded onto the threaded section of the hinge shaft and located outside the hinge seat. The end face of the limiting nut abuts against the outer wall of the hinge seat.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping seat can rotate within the hinge slot of the hinge seat via the hinge block and hinge shaft to achieve angle adjustment. The limit nut is threaded onto the threaded section of the hinge shaft and abuts against the outer wall of the hinge seat, which can fix the rotation angle of the clamping seat, thereby accurately fixing the incident angle of the detector and improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection.

[0009] Preferably, the angle adjustment assembly includes a sliding sleeve that is slidably fitted onto the upright arm, a hinge rod with one end hinged to the sliding sleeve and the other end hinged to the clamping seat, and a set screw threaded through the sliding sleeve, the end of the set screw abutting against the outer wall of the upright arm.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation angle of the clamping seat can be adjusted by sliding the sleeve on the vertical arm and connecting the hinge rod. Then, the position of the sleeve is fixed by using the set screw to abut against the outer wall of the vertical arm, thereby accurately fixing the incident angle of the detector and improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the upper outer wall of the support arm along the vertical direction, and a limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve and slidably connected to the limiting groove. When the limiting block abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove, the incident angle of the detector is 90°, and when the limiting block abuts against the top wall of the limiting groove, the incident angle of the detector is 45°.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting groove is opened on the upper outer wall of the vertical arm, and a limiting block is set on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, which can accurately limit the incident angle of the detector to 90° and 45°, thereby improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping seat has a sliding groove, and the clamping plate is fixedly connected to a slider that is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a sliding groove is opened in the clamping seat, and the clamping plate is slidably connected to the sliding groove through a slider, which allows the clamping plate to slide stably on the clamping seat.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping drive assembly includes a lead screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, the axial direction of the lead screw being parallel to the length direction of the slide groove, the lead screw having a first threaded section and a second threaded section, the thread directions of the first threaded section and the second threaded section of the lead screw being opposite, and the sliders of the two clamping plates being threadedly sleeved on the first threaded section and the second threaded section of the lead screw, respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, and utilizing the characteristic that the first and second threaded sections of the lead screw have opposite thread directions, when the lead screw is rotated, the sliders of the two clamping plates can slide in opposite directions or away from each other along the slide groove, thereby achieving stable clamping or loosening of the detector handle, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the detector.

[0017] Preferably, one end of the lead screw protrudes from the outer wall of the clamping seat, and the clamping drive assembly further includes a knob fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw and located outside the clamping seat.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can drive the lead screw to rotate by turning the knob, thereby causing the two clamping plates to slide relative to or away from each other.

[0019] Preferably, the support arm includes a vertical tube fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base and a vertical rod slidably inserted into the vertical tube, a clamping seat hinged to the upper part of the vertical rod, and the vertical tube is provided with a height adjustment component for adjusting the sliding position of the vertical rod.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the boom is configured to consist of a riser and a pole that can slide inside the riser, and a height adjustment component is provided to adjust the sliding position of the pole, so as to adjust the height of the clamping seat and the detector installed on it to meet the operating needs of different workers.

[0021] Preferably, the outer wall of the upright has a limiting hole, and there are multiple limiting holes distributed along the length of the upright. The height adjustment component includes a limiting pin that slides through the upper wall of the upright and a spring disposed between the upright and the limiting pin. Under normal conditions, the spring forces the limiting pin to slide towards the upright and insert into the limiting hole.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the pole can slide up and down inside the riser. With the help of multiple limiting holes distributed along the length of the pole, the height of the pole can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the detector to meet the detection needs at different heights. The spring, under normal conditions, forces the limiting pin to slide towards the pole and insert it into the limiting hole, which can stably fix the pole.

[0023] Preferably, the detector head is provided with a laser emitter, and the emission direction of the laser emitter is parallel to the incident direction of the detector.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, a laser emitter with a transmission direction parallel to the incident direction of the detector is set at the head of the detector. This allows for a direct display of the incident direction of the detector, facilitating accurate adjustment of the incident angle by the staff, improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection, and making it easier for staff to mark points on the ground.

[0025] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The two clamping plates can slide under the drive of the clamping drive assembly to achieve a stable clamping of the detector handle, thereby installing the detector on the clamping seat. The clamping seat can be hinged and rotated, and the rotation angle of the clamping seat can be precisely adjusted by the angle adjustment assembly, thereby accurately controlling the incident angle of the detector and improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection. 2. The boom is configured to consist of a riser and a pole that can slide within the riser, and a height adjustment component is provided to adjust the sliding position of the pole. The height of the clamping seat and the detector mounted on it can be adjusted to meet the operating needs of different workers. 3.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] Example 1: This application discloses a bracket for a pipeline detector, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2The system includes a base 1, with four corners of the lower end face of the base 1 equipped with casters 11, specifically, the casters 11 are metal casters. A vertical arm 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base 1. The vertical arm 2 includes a vertical tube 21 fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base 1 and a vertical rod 22 slidably inserted into the vertical tube 21. The vertical tube 21 is equipped with a height adjustment component 3 for adjusting the sliding position of the vertical rod 22.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the upright 22 has multiple limiting holes 23 distributed along the length of the upright 22. The height adjustment assembly 3 includes a limiting pin 31 that slides through the upper wall of the riser 21 and a spring 32 disposed between the riser 21 and the limiting pin 31. The outer end of the limiting pin 31 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 33. The spring 32 is sleeved on the limiting pin 31, with one end fixedly connected to the outer wall of the riser 21 and the other end fixedly connected to the limiting plate 33. Under normal conditions, the spring 32 forces the limiting pin 31 to slide towards the upright 22 and insert into the limiting hole 23. A battery compartment 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the riser 21. The battery compartment 24 is used to hold a power bank to power the detector 10.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The upper part of the upright 22 is hinged to a clamping seat 4. Specifically, a hinge seat 25 is fixedly connected to the upper front outer wall of the upright 22. The hinge seat 25 has a hinge groove. A hinge block 41 is fixedly protruding from the outer wall of the clamping seat 4 and hinged to the hinge groove. A hinge shaft 42 is fixed to the hinge block 41 and rotatably passes through the hinge seat 25. The upright arm 2 is provided with an angle adjustment component 5 for adjusting the rotation angle of the clamping seat 4. In this embodiment, the end of the hinge shaft 42 has a threaded section. The angle adjustment component 5 is a limiting nut that is threaded onto the threaded section of the hinge shaft 42 and located outside the hinge seat 25. The end face of the limiting nut abuts against the outer wall of the hinge seat 25. The limiting nut is a wing nut.

[0032] The clamping base 4 is slidably connected to a clamping plate 43 for clamping the handle of the detector 10. Two clamping plates 43 are provided. A groove 44 is opened on the lower end face of the clamping base 4. A slider 45 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 43 and slidably connected to the groove 44. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the clamping surface of the clamping plate 43 to increase the friction between the clamping plate 43 and the handle of the detector 10. The clamping base 4 is provided with a clamping drive assembly 6 for driving the clamping plate 43 to slide. The clamping drive assembly 6 includes a lead screw 61 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 44 and a knob 62 externally placed on the clamping base 4. The axial direction of the lead screw 61 is parallel to the length direction of the groove 44. The lead screw 61 has a first threaded section and a second threaded section. The thread directions of the first threaded section and the second threaded section of the lead screw 61 are opposite. The sliders 45 of the two clamping plates 43 are respectively threadedly sleeved on the first threaded section and the second threaded section of the lead screw 61. One end of the lead screw 61 protrudes from the outer wall of the clamping seat 4, and the knob 62 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 61. A laser emitter 101 is fixed to the head of the detector 10. The emission direction of the laser emitter 101 is parallel to the incident direction of the detector 10. In this embodiment, the laser emitter 101 is fixed to the head of the detector 10 by adhesive tape.

[0033] The implementation principle of a support for a pipeline detector in this embodiment is as follows: First, the handle of the detector 10 is placed between two clamping plates 43. The two clamping plates 43 slide towards each other under the drive of the clamping drive assembly 6, thereby clamping and fixing the handle of the detector 10, and thus installing the detector 10 on the clamping seat 4. The rotation angle of the clamping seat 4 is adjusted by the angle adjustment assembly 5 so that the clamping seat 4 rotates to a horizontal state. At this time, the incident direction of the detector 10 is perpendicular to the ground, that is, the incident angle of the detector 10 is 90°. Then, the staff moves the base 1 to find the location of the buried pipeline. The point on the ground illuminated by the laser emitter 101 is recorded as point A. Then, the staff adjusts the rotation angle of the clamping seat 4 by the angle adjustment assembly 5 so that the illumination angle of the detector 10 is 45°. The staff pushes the base 1 to move. When the pipeline location is detected again, the point on the ground illuminated by the laser emitter 101 is recorded as point B. According to the principle of isosceles triangles, the distance between points A and B is the burial depth of the pipeline.

[0034] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5In this embodiment, the angle adjustment component 5 includes a sliding sleeve 51 that is slidably sleeved on the upper part of the upright 22 and located below the hinge seat 25, a hinge rod 52 with one end hinged to the sliding sleeve 51 and the other end hinged to the clamping seat 4, and a set screw 53 threaded through the sliding sleeve 51. Two insertion holes 27 are provided on the outer wall of the upright 22 for inserting the end of the set screw 53. A limiting groove 26 is vertically formed on the upper rear outer wall of the upright 22. A limiting block 54, which is slidably connected to the limiting groove 26, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 51. When the limiting block 54 abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove 26, the incident angle of the detector 10 is 90°. When the limiting block 54 abuts against the top wall of the limiting groove 26, the incident angle of the detector 10 is 45°. The sliding position of the sliding sleeve 51 on the upright 22 can be adjusted by sliding the adjustment of the rotation angle of the clamping seat 4 by the hinge rod 52. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the set screw 53 so that the end of the set screw 53 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 27, thereby accurately fixing the incident angle of the detector 10 and improving the accuracy of pipeline depth detection.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
