Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to pipe alignment device technology, specifically to a pipe alignment device. Background Technology

[0002] In pipeline construction, it is often necessary to connect and install two sections of pipeline. Traditional methods rely heavily on manual visual inspection and adjustment to achieve pipeline alignment, which suffers from low alignment accuracy, poor adjustment efficiency, and high labor intensity. Especially for large-diameter or heavy pipelines, it is difficult to achieve fine position and angle adjustments by manpower alone, often requiring repeated hoisting and prying, which not only poses high operational risks but also easily damages the pipeline ends.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a pipe alignment device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a pipe alignment device that automatically guides the pipe to the center position of four rotating rollers during clamping, achieving high-precision automatic centering and significantly improving alignment efficiency and accuracy. By adjusting the spacing of the sliders through a drive mechanism, this device can adapt to pipes of different diameters within a certain size range, exhibiting good versatility. Furthermore, the rolling characteristics of the rollers allow the pipe to be easily rotated and fine-tuned, reducing the difficulty and time required for manual adjustments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pipe alignment device, comprising a movable base; a telescopic assembly disposed on the top of the movable base; and a clamping assembly disposed on the top of the telescopic assembly for fixing the pipe; wherein the clamping assembly comprises: a pair of rails disposed on the clamping assembly; a pair of sliders slidably disposed between the two rails and arranged symmetrically, with two rotating rollers rotatably disposed on the top of the sliders; and a driving member disposed between the two rails for driving the two sliders to move synchronously.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the pipe can be automatically guided to the center position of the four rotating rollers during the clamping process, achieving high-precision automatic centering and significantly improving centering efficiency and accuracy. By adjusting the spacing of the sliders through the drive component, the device can adapt to pipes of different diameters within a certain size range, possessing good versatility. Furthermore, the rolling characteristics of the rotating rollers allow the pipe to be easily rotated and fine-tuned, reducing the difficulty and time required for manual adjustments.

[0007] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly includes multiple telescopic rods, all disposed on the top of the movable base; a mounting panel, disposed between the telescopic ends of each of the telescopic rods; and a drive unit, disposed on the top of the movable base, for pushing the mounting panel to move up and down on the movable base.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving component includes a gear rotatably disposed on the top of the mounting panel; a pair of rack plates, both slidably disposed on the top of the mounting panel and meshing with the gear, the rack plates being connected to the slider; and a second driving unit disposed within the mounting panel for driving one of the sliders to move on the track.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the second drive unit pushes a slider to slide along the track, thereby driving the rack plate connected to it to move. The rack plate drives the gear to rotate, and the gear then drives another rack plate to move in the opposite or same direction, thus pulling the other slider to move synchronously. Ultimately, the two sliders achieve synchronous movement towards or away from each other to meet the stable clamping requirements of the rotating roller on the pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly also includes a turntable rotatably disposed on top of the movable base, and each of the telescopic rods and the drive unit are disposed on top of the turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, the roller has a concave arc shape.

[0012] Furthermore, the movable base includes a support panel and rollers located at the bottom of the support panel. By rotating the turntable, the pipe can be rotated to allow for angle adjustment. When connecting the pipe, if the worker finds that the circumferential angle of the pipe is incorrect, there is no need to push the entire device and the heavy pipe. The worker can simply rotate the turntable to make precise angle adjustments.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a pipe alignment device. During operation, the pipe to be installed is placed between four rotating rollers. A drive mechanism controls two sliders to move synchronously towards each other, causing the four rollers to center and clamp the pipe, securing it in place. Subsequently, a telescopic assembly is used to adjust the pipe's height, achieving precise alignment between pipes. Furthermore, because the four rollers can rotate freely, operators can easily push the clamped pipe, facilitating docking and assembly. This structural design automatically guides the pipe to the center position of the four rollers during clamping, achieving high-precision automatic centering and significantly improving alignment efficiency and accuracy. By adjusting the spacing of the sliders with the drive mechanism, the device can adapt to pipes of different diameters within a certain size range, exhibiting good versatility. The rolling characteristics of the rollers allow for easy rotation and fine-tuning of the pipe, reducing the difficulty and time required for manual adjustments.

[0014] The turntable can also be used to rotate the pipes to adjust the angle. When workers are connecting pipes, if they find that the circumferential angle of the pipes is incorrect, they do not need to push the entire device and the heavy pipes. They can simply rotate the turntable to make precise angle adjustments. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This utility model provides a pipe alignment device, including a movable base 1, a telescopic component 2, and a clamping component 3; the telescopic component 2 is disposed on the top of the movable base 1; the clamping component 3 is disposed on the top of the telescopic component 2 and is used to fix the pipe.

[0026] The clamping assembly 3 includes a pair of track bars 300, a pair of sliders 301, and a driving member; the pair of track bars 300 are disposed on the clamping assembly 3; the pair of sliders 301 are slidably disposed between the two track bars 300 and are arranged symmetrically, and two rotating rollers 302 are rotatably disposed on the top of the sliders 301; the driving member is disposed between the two track bars 300 and is used to drive the two sliders 301 to move synchronously.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating roller 302 has a concave arc shape, and there are four rotating rollers 302 arranged symmetrically on the telescopic assembly 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the movable base 1 includes a support panel and rollers disposed at the bottom of the support panel.

[0029] Specifically, during operation, the pipe to be installed is placed between four rotating rollers 302. A drive mechanism controls two sliders 301 to move synchronously towards each other, causing the four rollers 302 to center and clamp the pipe, securing it in place. Subsequently, the height of the pipe is adjusted using the telescopic assembly 2 to achieve precise alignment between pipes. Furthermore, because the four rollers 302 can rotate freely, workers can easily push the clamped pipe, facilitating docking and assembly.

[0030] This structural design automatically guides the pipe to the center position of the four rotating rollers 302 during clamping, achieving high-precision automatic centering and significantly improving centering efficiency and accuracy. By adjusting the spacing of the sliders 301 through the drive component, the device can adapt to pipes of different diameters within a certain size range, exhibiting good versatility. Furthermore, the rolling characteristics of the rotating rollers 302 allow the pipe to be easily rotated and fine-tuned, reducing the difficulty and time required for manual adjustments.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic assembly 2 includes multiple telescopic rods 200, a mounting panel 201, and a drive unit 202; the multiple telescopic rods 200 are all disposed on the top of the movable base 1; the mounting panel 201 is disposed between the telescopic ends of each telescopic rod 200; the drive unit 202 is disposed on the top of the movable base 1 and is used to push the mounting panel 201 to move up and down on the movable base 1. The drive unit 202 is a servo electric actuator.

[0032] Specifically, the drive unit 202 precisely adjusts the vertical position of the pipe by pushing the mounting panel 201 to move vertically. During the raising and lowering of the mounting panel 201, each telescopic rod 200 moves synchronously, providing support and guidance, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the mounting panel 201 during movement.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the driving component includes a gear 303, a pair of rack plates 304, and a second driving unit 305. The gear 303 is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting panel 201. The pair of rack plates 304 are slidably mounted on the top of the mounting panel 201 and mesh with the gear 303. The rack plates 304 are connected to the slider 301. The second driving unit 305 is located inside the mounting panel 201 and is used to drive the slider 301 to move on the track 300. The second driving unit 305 is a servo electric actuator.

[0034] Specifically, regarding the use of the driving components, the second driving unit 305 pushes a slider 301 to slide along the track 300, thereby driving the connected rack plate 304 to move. This rack plate 304 drives the gear 303 to rotate, and the gear 303 then drives another rack plate 304 to move in the opposite or same direction, thus pulling the other slider 301 to move synchronously. Ultimately, the two sliders 301 achieve synchronous movement towards or away from each other to meet the stable clamping requirements of the rotating roller 302 on the pipe.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] This embodiment is a further optimization based on the first embodiment described above. The parts that are the same as those in the aforementioned technical solution will not be repeated here. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to better realize this utility model, the following arrangement is adopted. In this embodiment, the telescopic component 2 also includes a turntable 203 rotatably disposed on the top of the movable base 1, and each telescopic rod 200 and the drive unit 202 are disposed on the top of the turntable 203.

[0037] Specifically, the turntable 203 can be rotated to allow the pipe to rotate, thus enabling angle adjustment. When workers connect pipes, if they find that the circumferential angle of the pipe is incorrect, they do not need to push the entire device and the heavy pipe with great effort. They can simply rotate the turntable 203 to make precise angle adjustments.

[0038] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market. Irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
