MOBILE DEVICE FOR INSTALLING PIPELINE MODULES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F16L1/36 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: on the self-propelled mobile base platform, there is a side boom, a boom angle adjustment mechanism, a lifting device with a traction mechanism, on the suspension of which the assembly device 7 is attached. The assembly device 7 is a traverse 9 consisting of a movable inner beam 10 and a stationary external beam 11. At the ends of the beams, hydraulic grippers 13 and 16 of the pipeline modules 15 and 18 are respectively located. When moving from the force of the hydraulic cylinder 12 of the inner beam 10 to the clamped hydraulic gripper 13 by the pipeline module 15, the latter, by its cuff 23, enters the interior cavity of the socket 24 of another pipe module 18 clamped by the hydraulic gripper 16, where it is fixed by the locking ring 25.

EFFECT: reduction of labour costs and increase in the rate of installation of a collapsible pipeline, the scope of functionality is widening when installing pipelines in both military and civilian interests.
