Description

Adjustable pipe shoe

[0001] The present invention relates to a pipe shoe, and more particularly, to a position-adjustable pipe shoe that allows for easy and quick adjustment of the vertical height of a pipe and also allows for easy and quick adjustment of the horizontal position of the pipe.

[0002] Generally, in semiconductor facilities, oil refineries, and onshore and offshore plant construction, a pipe shoe is installed on the upper side of a girder beam as a method of fixing pipes, and the pipes are then supported by the pipe shoe.

[0003] These pipe shoes are mainly used to adjust the height of large pipes so that the pipes have a certain slope, thereby allowing fluids such as gas or liquid to flow easily inside the pipes.

[0004] Additionally, the pipe shoe is used to adjust the height of the pipes so that the pipes can be easily connected when the ends of the pipes do not match when connecting multiple pipes.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology had the following problems.

[0006] Conventional pipe shoes had the problem that the pipe height had to be adjusted up and down by fastening them with bolts and nuts, making it relatively difficult to adjust the pipe height and requiring a lot of time and manpower for the height adjustment work.

[0007] In addition, the conventional pipe shoe had a function that only adjusted the vertical height, so it was difficult to properly adjust the horizontal position of the pipe left and right, which resulted in a high level of inconvenience in use.

[0031] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the described embodiments.

[0032] Figures 1 to 10 are schematic drawings of a pipe shoe according to the present invention. As illustrated therein, the position-adjustable pipe shoe according to the present invention includes a base plate (10) installed on the upper surface of a girder beam (B), a horizontal position-adjusting member (20) installed on the upper surface of the base plate (10) and capable of adjusting a horizontal position by moving left and right, a height-adjusting member (30) installed on the upper end of the horizontal position-adjusting member (20) and capable of adjusting a height up and down, and a pipe support member (40) installed on the upper end of the height-adjusting member (30) and supporting a pipe (P).

[0033] The above base plate (10) is placed on the upper surface of the girder beam (B), and serves to support various devices and pipes (P) including the horizontal position adjusting unit (20) while providing a place for installing the horizontal position adjusting unit (20).

[0034] The above-mentioned base plate (10) further includes a plurality of guide protrusions (11) formed at a distance from each other on both sides of its upper surface. The guide protrusions (11) serve to guide the horizontal movement of the horizontal position adjustment unit (20).

[0035] The above horizontal position adjustment unit (20) is installed on the upper surface of the base plate (10), and moves left and right along the upper surface of the base plate (10) in the longitudinal direction of the girder beam (B), i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the pipe (P), to adjust the horizontal position of the pipe (P) by the user's operation.

[0036] The horizontal position adjustment part (20) as described above includes a sliding member (21) that is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the base plate (10) and has an upper surface attached to the upper surface of the installation plate (31), a sliding jaw (22) that is formed to protrude horizontally on both sides of the lower end of the sliding member (21) and is slidably arranged on the inside of the guide jaw (11), a spiral member (23) that is attached to the inside of the sliding member (21) and has a spiral through hole (231) formed therethrough horizontally, a horizontal adjustment bolt (24) whose rear end is screw-connected to the spiral through hole (231), and a rotary mounting part (25) that is attached to the upper surface of the base plate (10) and has a tip of the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) rotatably mounted thereon.

[0037] The above sliding member (21) is configured to move horizontally left and right along the upper surface of the base plate (10) in the longitudinal direction of the girder beam (B) so as to adjust the horizontal position of the height adjustment member (30) and the pipe support member (40) (see Fig. 10).

[0038] The above sliding jaw (22) is slidably fitted into the guide jaw (11) and serves to guide the horizontal movement of the sliding member (21). The above spiral member (23) serves to provide a portion where the spiral through hole (231) is formed while allowing it to be attached to the inside of the sliding member (21). The above spiral through hole (231) serves to provide a portion where the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) is screwed.

[0039] The above horizontal adjustment bolt (24) is rotatably mounted on the above rotational mounting part (25), and when the user rotates the head part with a tool such as a wrench, the spiral member (23) moves to one side or the other side through a spiral movement with the above spiral through hole (231), thereby allowing the sliding member (21) to move horizontally to one side or the other side, thereby allowing the horizontal position of the pipe support member (40) to be adjusted together with the above height adjustment part (30).

[0040] The above-mentioned rotating mounting part (25) is attached to the upper surface of the base plate (10) and serves to rotatably mount the tip of the horizontal adjustment bolt (24).

[0041] The horizontal position adjustment unit (20) configured in this manner moves the spiral member (23) to one side when the user rotates the head of the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) forward with a tool such as a wrench, so that the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) rotates forward and the sliding member (21) slides to one side on the upper surface of the base plate (10) and moves horizontally to one side.

[0042] Conversely, when the user reversely rotates the head of the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) with a tool such as a wrench, the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) rotates in reverse, moving the spiral member (23) to the other side, so that the sliding member (21) slides to the other side on the upper surface of the base plate (10) and moves horizontally.

[0043] By rotating the horizontal adjustment bolt (24) as described above, the pipe support member (40) is moved horizontally while the pipe (P) is placed, so that the horizontal position of the pipe (P) can be adjusted easily and quickly.

[0044] The above height adjustment unit (30) is installed on the upper side of the horizontal position adjustment unit (20), and moves up and down by the user's operation to adjust the vertical height of the pipe (P).

[0045] The height adjustment unit (30) includes an installation plate (31) attached to the upper surface of the horizontal position adjustment unit (20), a vertical bending plate (32) attached to the upper surface of the installation plate (31) and formed by vertically bending both sides, a first sliding block (33) that is slidably provided on the inside of the vertical bending plate (32) and has a first spiral hole (331) having a spiral on the inner surface formed to penetrate horizontally, a second sliding block (34) that is slidably provided on the inside of the vertical bending plate (32) on one side of the first sliding block (33) and has a second spiral hole (341) having a spiral opposite to that of the first spiral hole (331) formed to penetrate horizontally, a pair of upper links (35) that are hinge-joined to the upper portions of the first sliding block and the second sliding block (34) with their lower ends spread apart and provided symmetrically to each other, and a pair of It includes a pair of upper side plates (36) in which the upper end of the upper link (35) is hingedly connected in a retracted state and the upper end is attached to the lower surface of the pipe support member (40), a height adjustment bolt (37) which has one end screwed into the first spiral hole (331) and the other end screwed into the second spiral hole (341) and which can adjust the height of the pipe support member (40) by moving the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) inward or outward while being rotated by the user's operation, and a rotation fixing member (38) which is installed on the inside of the vertical bending plate (32) and rotatably fixes the central portion of the height adjustment bolt (37).

[0046] The above installation plate (31) serves to provide a place where the vertical bending plate (32) is installed on the upper surface of the sliding member (21), and the vertical bending plate (32) serves to provide a portion where the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) slide horizontally.

[0047] The first sliding block (33) is configured to move horizontally along the vertical bending plate (32) by rotation of the height adjustment bolt (37), and the first spiral hole (331) is screw-connected to the height adjustment bolt (37) so that when the height adjustment bolt (37) rotates forward, the first sliding block (33) moves inward, and conversely, when the height adjustment bolt (37) rotates in reverse, the first sliding block (33) moves outward.

[0048] The second sliding block (34) is configured to move horizontally along the vertical bending plate (32) by rotation of the height adjustment bolt (37), and the second spiral hole (341) is screw-connected to the height adjustment bolt (37) so that when the height adjustment bolt (37) rotates forward, the second sliding block (34) moves inward, and conversely, when the height adjustment bolt (37) rotates in reverse, the second sliding block (34) moves outward.

[0049] The upper link (35) is provided as a pair, and the lower portions are hinge-connected to the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34), respectively, so that when the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) move inward simultaneously, the lower portion folds and raises the upper side plate (36), and conversely, when the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) move outward simultaneously, the lower portion opens and lowers the upper side plate (36).

[0050] The upper link (35) as described above further includes an interlocking tooth (351) formed on the upper ends of a pair of upper links (35) that are adjacent to each other to be interlocked with each other. The interlocking tooth (351) allows the upper ends of the pair of upper links (35) to interlock with each other, thereby enabling the operation of the upper links (35) to be performed more stably, while appropriately supporting a high load to further improve the durability of the upper links (35).

[0051] The height adjustment bolt (37) is rotatably fixed by the rotation fixing member (38) and when the user rotates the head portion with a tool such as a wrench, the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) move horizontally inward or outward with a spiral motion with respect to the first spiral hole (331) and the second spiral hole (341), thereby causing the upper link (35) to contract or open, thereby raising or lowering the pipe (P) together with the pipe support member (40), thereby allowing the height of the pipe (P) to be adjusted.

[0052] That is, the height adjustment bolt (37) has left-hand and right-hand threads formed on the outer surface with different screw directions, that is, left-hand threads are formed on some parts of the outer surface and right-hand threads are formed on other parts, so that the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) are brought inward or spread outward by forward or reverse rotation, thereby causing the upper link (35) to contract or spread out, thereby raising or lowering the pipe.

[0053] The above-mentioned rotation fixing member (38) is installed on the upper surface of the vertical bending plate (32) and serves to rotatably fix the tip of the height adjustment bolt (37).

[0054] The height adjustment part (30) further includes a guide groove (39) formed horizontally on both sides of the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34), and a guide protrusion (39a) mounted on the vertical bending plate (32) and slidably fitted into the guide groove (39).

[0055] The above guide groove (39) serves to guide the horizontal movement of the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) while the horizontal movement is guided by the above guide jaw (39a).

[0056] The height adjustment part (30) configured in this way is configured so that when the user rotates the head of the height adjustment bolt (37) forward with a tool such as a wrench, the height adjustment bolt (37) rotates forward and the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) move inward through the spiral movement of the first spiral hole (331) and the second spiral hole (341), thereby causing the upper link (35) to contract and thereby raise the pipe support part (40) and the pipe (P) arranged thereon (see FIG. 9).

[0057] Conversely, when the user reversely rotates the head of the height adjustment bolt (37) with a tool such as a wrench, the height adjustment bolt (37) is reversed, and the spiral movement of the first spiral hole (331) and the second spiral hole (341) moves the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34) outward, thereby causing the upper link (35) to spread apart and lowering the pipe support (40) and the pipe (P) arranged thereon.

[0058] By rotating the height adjustment bolt (37) as described above, the pipe support member (40) is raised or lowered while the pipe (P) is placed, so that the vertical height of the pipe (P) can be easily and quickly adjusted.

[0059] The above pipe support member (40) is installed on the upper side of the height adjustment member (30) and serves to support the lower surface of the pipe (P).

[0060] The pipe support member (40) as described above includes a support member (41) attached to the upper surface of the upper side plate (36), and an arc-shaped support plate (42) attached to the upper end of the support member (41) and formed in an arc shape to support the lower surface of the pipe.

[0061] The above-mentioned support member (41) serves to support the lower surface of the above-mentioned arc-shaped support plate (42) and provides a place where the above-mentioned arc-shaped support plate (42) is attached. The above-mentioned arc-shaped support plate (42) serves to support the lower surface of the pipe (P) and provides a place where the pipe (P) is placed.

[0062] This pipe shoe further includes a vibration-prevention pad (50) provided on the lower surface of the base plate (10) and formed of synthetic rubber material and in close contact with the upper surface of the girder beam (B). The vibration-prevention pad (50) is placed between the base plate (10) and the girder beam (B) and serves to offset or reduce vibration transmitted through the girder beam (B) by external force through the elasticity and buffering force of the rubber.

[0063] This pipe shoe, constructed in this manner, is a groundbreaking invention that allows for easy and quick adjustment of the pipe's vertical height, and also allows for easy and quick adjustment of the pipe's horizontal position left and right.

[0064] Fig. 11 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of a pipe shoe according to another embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated therein, the height adjustment part (30) of the position-adjustable pipe shoe according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes an interlocking gear (31a) that is provided to engage at least one or more of the interlocking teeth (351) and is rotatably installed on the upper side plate (36).

[0065] The above-mentioned interlocking gear (31a) rotates while engaging with the above-mentioned interlocking teeth (351), thereby improving the durability of the upper link (35) and expanding the gap between the first sliding block (33) and the second sliding block (34), thereby expanding the support member (41) and the arc-shaped support plate (42) so that a pipe with a larger diameter can be properly supported.

[0066] While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is susceptible to various modifications, variations, and equivalents. It is clear that the present invention can be applied in the same manner by appropriately modifying the above embodiments. Therefore, the above description does not limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the limitations of the following claims.

[0067] Meanwhile, although the detailed description of the present invention has described specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
