Embodiment
The pipeline ballast mechanism of pipe laying tensioner all comprises the two-part up and down with symplex structure usually, and exerting pressure from the above and below respectively compresses pipeline.But the pipeline ballast mechanism of not all pipe laying tensioner all requires to have two-part up and down of symplex structure, can be that up-down structure is asymmetric, perhaps only is unidirectional structure of exerting pressure.
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, disclosed a kind of pipeline ballast mechanism of pipe laying tensioner, be appreciated that the pipeline ballast mechanism of the pipe laying tensioner that Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 disclose only acts on a side of pipeline.
This pipeline ballast mechanism 100 comprises the ballast mechanism that is set up on the ballast beam, the crawler clamping panel that is connected in ballast mechanism, and ballast mechanism is exerted pressure to the crawler clamping panel, compresses the pipeline 110 that contacts with the crawler clamping panel.
The main body of pipeline ballast mechanism 100 is ballast beams, and the ballast beam is the mounting bracket of all devices, also is the vitals of the various pressure of carrying.As described above, adopt the ballast oil cylinder to replace pneumatic spring to be used as the pressure applying mechanism among the present invention, can 300 tons be increased to from the 30-70 ton by applied pressure, therefore, the pressure that the ballast beam is born also increases greatly, and traditional single-spar construction is difficult to carry so huge pressure, therefore, the present invention improves for the structure of ballast beam, and with reference to illustrated in figures 1 and 2, this ballast beam comprises:
Longitudinal girder 106, longitudinal girder 106 can be provided with several, such as in embodiment illustrated in figures 1 and 2, is provided with two longitudinal girders 106, if the quantity of ballast oil cylinder is more, bearing pressure is bigger, and the longitudinal girder 106 of greater number can be set.
Crossbeam 105 is provided with perpendicular to longitudinal girder 106, and is fixed on the longitudinal girder 106.The quantity of crossbeam 105 is to be provided with according to demand equally, generally can be corresponding with the quantity of ballast oil cylinder, also can adopt as requested than the more of ballast oil cylinder or crossbeam still less.
Support beam 104 is fixed on the crossbeam 105, and support beam 104 is beams longitudinally, is parallel to longitudinal girder 106, and the miscellaneous part of ballast mechanism 100 is installed on the support beam 104.In general, the quantity of support beam 104 is two, corresponds respectively to two groups of mechanisms that exert pressure.
Crawler clamping panel in this pipeline ballast mechanism 100 has adopted and the similar structure of conventional pipelines ballast mechanism, comprising:
Clamping panel 101 is fixed on the chain rail 102, is surrounded on the ballast mechanism arranged outside, and the quantity of clamping panel 101 is corresponding with chain rail 102 quantity, common tens and even up to a hundred.Clamping panel 101 has the pressure applying portion 101b that the pressure that is used to accept the ballast oil cylinder working-pressure is accepted part 101a and is used for exerting pressure to pipeline 110.Usually, pressure is accepted the both sides that part 101a is positioned at clamping panel 101, and pressure applying portion 101b is positioned at the intermediate portion of clamping panel 101.Because pressure applying portion 101b directly contacts with the surface of pipeline 110, so its inboard (with pipeline 110 surperficial sides that contact) be provided with contact component, to adapt to the shape of pipe surface.
Chain rail 102, equally around the ballast mechanism setting, chain rail 102 is set up in the inboard of clamping panel 101, accepts part 101a from the pressure of medial support clamping panel 101.Chain rail 102 is the parts of directly exerting pressure to clamping panel 101.
Holder sprocket wheel 103, one ends are fixed on the outside of ballast beam, specifically are fixed on the top of support beam 104, the other end support chain rail 102.In order to make clamping panel 101 and chain rail 102 can form structure around ballast mechanism, must support them, the outside that holder sprocket wheel 103 is fixed on the ballast beam forms the support for clamping panel 101 and chain rail 102.In the inboard of ballast beam, the ballast wheel that the back will be described will be exerted pressure to chain rail 102, thereby indirectly clamping panel 101 be exerted pressure.
Most important improvement is to adopt the ballast oil cylinder to replace pneumatic spring for ballast mechanism in the present invention, one group of ballast oil cylinder 107 is fixed on the ballast beam, specifically ballast oil cylinder 107 a end that piston rod is housed is fixed on the inboard of ballast beam, the bottom of support beam 104.The base of ballast oil cylinder 107 comprises flange arrangement 107b, and flange arrangement 107b connects resilient suspension mechanism 108.Ballast oil cylinder 107 produces pipeline ballast power, this pipeline ballast power passes to ballast wheel 109 by resilient suspension mechanism 108, one end of ballast wheel 109 connects resilient suspension mechanism 108, the other end connection chain rail 102, and then the pressure that is connected to clamping panel 101 is indirectly accepted part 101a.So ballast oil cylinder 107 produces pipeline ballast power and accepts on the part 101a by the pressure that resilient suspension mechanism 108, ballast wheel 109 and chain rail 102 have been delivered to clamping panel 101.Clamping panel compresses pipeline 110, and the reaction force that ballast oil cylinder 107 transmits is transferred to the ballast beam by the support beam 104 that ballast oil cylinder 107 tops connect, and is subjected to by the ballast joist support.Resilient suspension 108 is fixed on the flange arrangement 107b of ballast oil cylinder 107 bottoms, all ballast oil cylinders 107 are linked together, resilient suspension 108 can bear bigger bending deflection, can adapt to pipeline 110 external diameters fluctuations within the specific limits, keep closely contacting with chain rail 102 and clamping panel 101 all the time to guarantee resilient suspension 108 following fixing ballast wheels 109.
With reference to embodiment shown in Figure 3, this pipeline ballast mechanism comprises upper pipe ballast mechanism and lower pipeline ballast mechanism, the upper pipe ballast mechanism provides downward pressure, compress pipeline from the top, the lower pipeline ballast mechanism provides and upwards pressure, and compresses pipeline from the below, in this embodiment, upper pipe ballast mechanism and lower pipeline ballast mechanism adopt symmetrical structure, all adopt the structure of pipeline ballast mechanism illustrated in figures 1 and 2 to realize.Therefore, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, corresponding mode marks among reference character employing and Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
