Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline repair technology, and in particular to an in-pipe transport vehicle for pipeline repair. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, trenchless pipeline repair technology is being increasingly applied, and stainless steel lining repair technology has become increasingly popular for the repair of large-diameter pipelines in recent years. This technology boasts advantages such as corrosion resistance, long service life, high pressure resistance, smooth inner wall, and resistance to scaling. This technology primarily involves fabricating a stainless steel pipe blank into an inner lining layer, transporting it inside the pipeline to be repaired, and fixing it inside the pipeline by welding to form a new inner lining layer, thereby achieving the effect of pipeline repair.
[0003] However, due to the limited construction space inside the pipeline, the traditional manual handling method is extremely inconvenient during the process of transporting the pipe blank into the pipeline repair area, which affects the construction period. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an in-pipe transport vehicle for pipeline repair, which can place pipe blank material through the support recess of the support frame, and after the driving component drives the support frame to move into the pipe, the pipe blank is pushed by the pusher.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An in-pipe transport vehicle for pipeline repair includes,
[0007] The support assembly includes a support frame, a pusher, and a pusher drive. The support frame is provided with a support recess for placing a tube blank. The pusher is slidably mounted on the support frame and can move along a pusher direction. The pusher drive is mounted on the support frame and is used to drive the pusher to move along the pusher direction.
[0008] A travel assembly is mounted at the bottom end of the support frame and is used to drive the support frame to move along the pushing direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom end of the support frame is provided with a guide rail, and the push drive component includes a drive wheel, which is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the push component. The drive wheel is mounted on the guide rail and drives the push component to move along the push direction.
[0010] Furthermore, the pushing component includes a pushing base and a pushing plate. The bottom end of the pushing base is provided with the driving wheel and is slidably connected to the guide rail through the driving wheel. The bottom end of the pushing plate is vertically installed at the end of the pushing base, and the top end of the pushing plate extends to the supporting recess through the support frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with guide rails on both sides, and the push base is provided with drive wheels on both sides of its bottom end.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the supporting recess is an arc surface.
[0013] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a drive motor, two drive shafts, and two driving wheel mechanisms, with the two driving wheel mechanisms spaced apart. Each driving wheel mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a first driving wheel, and a second driving wheel, with both ends of the conveyor belt wrapped around the first and second driving wheels. The first driving wheels of the two driving wheel mechanisms are connected through one of the drive shafts, and the second driving wheels of the two driving wheel mechanisms are connected through the other drive shaft. The drive motor is driven by one of the drive shafts.
[0014] Furthermore, the travel assembly includes a support frame disposed between the two travel wheel mechanisms, and the bottom end of the support bracket is connected to the top end of the support frame.
[0015] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a drive power supply, which is electrically connected to the drive motor.
[0016] Furthermore, the driving assembly also includes a drive belt and two drive pulleys, one of which is connected to the shaft of the drive motor, and the other drive pulley is connected to one of the drive shafts, with the two ends of the drive belt respectively wound around the two drive pulleys.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] Because the tube blank has a supporting recess for limiting its movement during the transportation process, instability during transport is reduced. This supporting recess prevents the tube blank from rolling and slipping if placed directly on the support frame. At the same time, a pusher is used to abut the end of the tube blank, and after it is transported to the correct position, the pusher pushes it further, reducing manual labor and improving work efficiency.

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 The illustrated pipe transport vehicle for pipeline repair includes a load-bearing assembly and a driving assembly 30. Specifically, the load-bearing assembly includes a support frame 10, a pusher 20, and a pusher drive. The support frame 10 has a support recess 12 for placing a pipe blank for repairing the inner wall of the pipe. The pusher 20 and the pusher drive are both mounted on the support frame 10. The pusher 20 is slidably mounted on the support frame 10 and moves along a pushing direction on the support frame 10. The pusher drive can drive the pusher 20 to move along the pushing direction.
[0028] In addition, the travel component 30 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 10, and the travel component 30 can drive the support frame 10 to move in the pushing direction.
[0029] It should be noted that the aforementioned pushing direction can be the length direction of the support frame.
[0030] Based on the above structure, when using the pipe transport vehicle for pipeline repair of this utility model, the operator needs to transport the pipe blank into the pipe during pipeline repair. For example, if the pipeline needs to be repaired in a well, the pipe blank for the repair needs to be transported to the well, and then the round pipe blank is placed on the support frame 10 of the pipe transport vehicle. The support recess 12 of the support frame 10 supports the pipe blank, and after the pipe blank is placed in the support recess 12, its end can be abutted by the pusher 20.
[0031] When the tube blank is transported to the designated repair position, the operator controls the driving component 30 to start. The driving component 30 can drive the support frame 10 to move and transport the tube blank on the support frame 10 to the designated position. At this time, the pusher can be driven by the pusher to move the pusher 20 in the push direction. The pusher 20 can push the tube blank on the support frame 10 away from the support frame 10, thus completing the automatic transport action of the tube blank.
[0032] Because the tube blank is limited by the support recess 12 during the movement of the traveling assembly 30, instability during transportation is reduced. In this way, the support recess 12 can prevent the tube blank from rolling and slipping when placed directly on the support frame 10. At the same time, the pusher 20 abuts against the end of the tube blank, and pushes it again after it is transported to the position, reducing manual operation and improving work efficiency.
[0033] Furthermore, the bottom end of the support frame 10 is provided with a guide rail 11, and the push drive includes a drive wheel 23. The drive wheel 23 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the pusher 20. The drive wheel 23 is mounted on the guide rail 11 and drives the pusher 20 to move in the push direction.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pushing member 20 includes a pushing base 22 and a pushing plate 21. A drive wheel 23 is provided at the bottom end of the pushing base 22. The drive wheel 23 is slidably mounted in the guide rail 11, and the drive wheel 23 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 11, so that the pushing base 22 can slide along the guide rail 11. The bottom end of the pushing plate 21 is vertically mounted to the end of the pushing base 22, and the top end of the pushing plate 21 extends through the support bracket 10 to the support recess 12.
[0035] Based on this structure, when transporting and pushing the tube blank, the tube blank is placed in the support recess 12 of the support frame 10. Since the push plate 21 extends to the support recess 12, the end of the tube blank can abut against the push plate 21. When the tube blank is transported to the position, the drive wheel 23 of the push base 22 is activated, and the drive wheel 23 rotates to drive the push plate 21 to move along the pushing direction.
[0036] It should be noted that the drive wheel 23 in this embodiment can be an electric wheel from the prior art. In addition to the drive wheel 23 in this embodiment, the push drive component can also be a cylinder, with the piston rod of the cylinder connected to the push base 22. The extension and retraction of the piston rod can drive the push base 22 to move.
[0037] Of course, the aforementioned support frame 10 can also be formed by a frame and multiple spaced support rods, so that a pushing interval can be formed between adjacent support rods for the push plate 21 to extend, and the guide rail 11 can be assembled on the top of the support rod for easy processing.
[0038] More specifically, guide rails 11 are provided on both sides of the support frame 10, and drive wheels 23 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the push base 22. In this way, when the push base 22 moves on the support frame 10, the drive wheels 23 on both sides can slide and cooperate with the guide rails 11 on both sides at the same time, reducing the swaying problem of the push base 22 during the pushing process.
[0039] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the supporting recess 12 is an arc surface, which can match the outer avoidance structure of the tube blank, better adapt to the tube blank, and reduce shaking during transportation.
[0040] Furthermore, the driving component 30 of this embodiment includes a drive motor 315, two drive shafts 314 and two driving wheel mechanisms 31, and the two driving wheel mechanisms 31 are spaced apart and respectively mounted on both sides of the support frame 10.
[0041] The specific driving wheel mechanism 31 includes a conveyor belt 313, a first driving wheel 311, and a second driving wheel 312. The two ends of the conveyor belt 313 are wrapped around the first driving wheel 311 and the second driving wheel 312. The first driving wheel 311 of the two driving wheel mechanisms 31 is connected through one of the drive shafts 314, and the second driving wheel 312 of the two driving wheel mechanisms 31 is connected through the other drive shaft 314. The drive motor 315 is connected to one of the drive shafts 314.
[0042] During operation, by starting the drive motor 315, the rotating shaft of the drive motor 315 can drive one of the transmission shafts 314 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 314 can drive the two corresponding first travel wheels 311 connected to it to rotate. At this time, it can drive the second travel wheel 312 connected to the first travel wheel 311 through the conveyor belt 313 to rotate. The second travel wheels 312 of the two travel mechanisms are connected through another transmission shaft 314, so they can maintain synchronous transmission. In this way, the first travel wheels 311 of the two sets of travel mechanisms rotate synchronously through one transmission shaft 314, and the second travel wheels 312 of the two sets of travel mechanisms rotate synchronously through another transmission shaft 314. Moreover, the first travel wheels 311 and the second travel wheels 312 of the same set are linked through the conveyor belt 313, so as to realize the conveying of the support frame 10.
[0043] Specifically, the driving component 30 includes a support frame 32, which is disposed between two driving wheel mechanisms 31. The bottom end of the support frame 10 is connected to the top end of the support frame 32, so that the support frame 32 between the two driving wheel mechanisms 31 can be assembled with the support frame 10. The support frame 32 can be used as the assembly base for the drive motor 315.
[0044] The support frame 32 can be synchronously connected to the conveyor belt via a roller structure. When the conveyor belt rotates, it cooperates with the rollers of the support frame to push the entire support frame for transportation, thereby driving the support frame connected to the support frame to move.
[0045] Furthermore, the driving assembly 30 also includes a transmission belt 316 and two transmission pulleys 317. One transmission pulley 317 is connected to the shaft of the drive motor 315, and the other transmission pulley 317 is connected to one of the drive shafts 314. The two ends of the transmission belt 316 are respectively wound around the two transmission pulleys 317. In this way, when the shaft of the drive motor 315 rotates, the transmission belt 316 drives the two transmission pulleys 317 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission shaft 314. This makes the rotational speed of the drive shaft 314 stable, and thus makes the driving speed of the two sets of driving wheel mechanisms 31 stable.
[0046] Of course, a drive power source, such as a lithium battery or a storage battery, can be further installed on the support frame 32 to serve as the power supply for the drive motor 315, so that the tube transport vehicle has its own power supply and can operate without external power supply, making it suitable for transporting outdoor tube blanks.
[0047] In addition, it should be noted that the aforementioned driving wheel mechanism 31 can also be implemented using electric wheels. The electric wheels can be rotatably mounted on both sides of the support frame 10 via a rotating shaft to achieve electric drive.
[0048] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
