Description

The device of supporting pipes

The present invention relates to the device of supporting pipes in the storage of pipe and transportation, make pipe with a kind of special form setting with base, one deck connects the spaced-apart distance ground of one deck, stacked up and down, at operating position, the base vertically stacked also is in the above and below of every layer of pipe, and the upside of base and downside have many complete mutually on the contrary spaced apart recesses become one unit so that hold pipe and can be clamped together by holding device.

The known various devices that the above-mentioned type arranged (see DE3928320C2, EP0415265B1, the US booklet " SIGMA-PAK " of SIGMA-Chemie (U.S.A) company, post-office box 90398, the Houston, TX77090).In all these known embodiment, separation trough all has part and is columniform shape of cross section, and the diameter of part cylindrical groove is identical with the diameter of the pipe that will be stored and transport, so each pipe diameter all will have specific device.

The present invention provides a kind of bearing set on this question; This bearing set can advantageously be produced on price, has lighter structure, and can advantageously production and general on cost.

Inventive device of the present invention can be used for the pipe of diameter range broad, and its diameter range exceeds the scope of being determined by trapezoidal shape, because pipe can be supported in the dovetail groove securely.And pipe bracket also can easily be made and arm's length pricing, and can be stable and be clamped together securely and become one unit by simple device.

Also can further understand details of the present invention and advantage in conjunction with the accompanying drawings by following description, an example of object of the present invention wherein at length has been described with graphic interpretation.

Fig. 7 is the front elevation that has as an inventive apparatus of the screw rod turnbuckle of latching device; And

Fig. 8 clips the side end face view of base of termination so that a screw rod turnbuckle is shown.

The diagram bearing set comprises base 1, and base 1 is at operating position, and vertically stacked is in the above and below of every layer of pipe, and has a plurality of complete spaced on the contrary mutually grooves 2 so that hold pipe at upside and downside.Under the situation of illustrative example, each base 1 respectively has 3 grooves 2 at upside and downside, is suitable for 3 pipes of supporting in one deck pipe like this.Yet clearly, the number of groove can be 2,4 or also be not limited to 3 layers than 4 more, the pipe number of plies; For example, can be 2 layers, 4 layers or above 4 layers.

All grooves 2 all have trapezoidal sectional shape, at two a basal plane 4 are arranged between the side 3 of external diffusion, surround spend for one 120 to 150 the degree angles and preferably 135 the degree.Be extended into the outside face 5 of base 1 in the side 3 of diffuse outside, this surface is parallel to basal plane 4 and can be used as the top of one unit or the base portion of bottom nozzle 1.

In the end, base 1 has plane 6, and this plane 6 is vertical at operating position, and all with interior is connected with the

outer end edges

7,8 of its outer surface adjacent 5 in all cases.And under any circumstance, on the end face of base 1, all being provided with a groove 9, this groove is continuous at operating position, leads to the bottom from the top always, and is used as and will be inserted in the passage of base 1 clamping the becoming device of one unit therebetween.

The end face of all bases 1 all has a continuous horizontal circular hole 11, and circular hole 11 extends on the height of the median surface 12 of level, in order to hold the transverse connection 13 that freely passes front groove 9.Transverse connection 13, can see it being spring cotter, be inserted in the horizontal circular hole 11 of the top of unit and bottom nozzle 1 that they are used for supporting holding device, and holding device can be made flat rubber belting 10 shapes, walks around transverse connection 13 and also can be held by ratchet turnbuckle 14.

For with this ratchet turnbuckle 14, for example be installed on the transverse connection of the top base in the unit, the madial wall of groove 9 is provided with an inside groove 15 on the height of horizontal circular hole 11, this inside groove 15 is vertical with the end face 6 of base 1, its width is greater than the diameter of horizontal circular hole 11 or the diameter of transverse connection 13, transverse connection can be accommodated in these circular holes 11, and the shoulder of ratchet turnbuckle 14 can be extended in the inside groove 15.Therefore, if use different holding devices, inside groove 15 just may be cancelled so.

In the central part 16 between the groove 2 of both sides, base 1 preferably is provided with an enhancing arbor 17 of being made by polymeric material.Strengthen arbor 17 preferably by metallic material, form, and cast or be inserted in the base 1 as steel.More favourable way is, strengthens arbor 17 and is made up of H-girder, and its centre strut 18 is parallel to the basal plane 4 of groove 2 and is positioned at the center of two basal planes, as shown in Figure 6.Strengthening arbor 17 extends along the whole length of base 1 basically; But still hidden by the material of base 1 in the end.It has taken the main portion of the width and the height of base 1 central part, as shown in Figure 6.The center stanchion 18 that strengthens arbor 17 is hidden in the zone of groove 9 like this, and its end face still can be hidden by the material of base 1 in the zone of groove 9.

Polymeric material preferably uses the such plastics of polyethylene, this material is except that having enough intensity, also has certain elasticity, its Shore D is, for example 43 to 48, like this, when base 1 is held, is contained in pipe in the groove 2 and becomes band with the

surface

3 or 3 and 4 of groove 2 and contact rather than linear contact.

As seen from Figure 3, groove 2 can hold and supporting pipes securely, and pipe diameter can change in sizable scope.Be appreciated that the pipe that has only same diameter can be supported in in one deck.The diameter range that can be received depends on the geometric shape of dovetail groove in all cases, also, depends on gradient and two relative distances of side 3 in basal plane 4 planes of side 3.For the pipe of diameter in setting range, the shape of groove 2 must be able to guarantee throughout pipe can both be shelved at least on two sides 3 of each groove 2 or on side 3 and the basal plane 4.

Available screw rod turnbuckle 20 replaces flat rubber belting 10, and it comprises: for example, a hollow tension rail 21, its outer cross is a hexagon, and comprises two fastening bars 22, also can be used as the holding device under the heavy duty.Tension rail 21 two ends have opposite negative thread 21 ', the grip bolt of fastening bar 22 have outside thread 23 ', and can be screwed into negative thread 21 ' in.Two fastening bars 22 all have a gripper hook 24, can both be enclosed within all cases on the transverse connection 11.At least one gripper hook 24 can replace with an earrings.

On the operating position shown in Fig. 7 and 8, clamping is by a spanner that acts on the tension rail 21 tension rail 21 to be rotated to finish, if perhaps be provided with a plant part or intake in the zone of tension rail 21 between two fastening bars 22, clamping also can finish tension rail 21 rotations by the clamping connecting rod so.With regard to this structure, tension rail can have various outer cross, comprises as circular cross section.

All suitable and known devices can both be used for guaranteeing the clip position of the parts of screw rod turnbuckle 20.A kind of simple especially structure is to be provided with jam nut 26 at least one grip bolt 23, and this nut is twisted the front end that leans against adjacent tension rail 21 with opposite engagement.
