Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipe sealing, and in particular to a metal pipe snap-on sealing connector. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the butt connection of metal pipes primarily relies on traditional mechanical connections or welding. While welding can achieve high joint strength, it requires specialized equipment and skilled personnel, imposes stringent requirements on the construction environment, and requires destructive removal of the welds for subsequent maintenance, making them difficult to reuse.

[0003] While other mechanical connection methods (such as flange connections and threaded connections) avoid the high-temperature issues of welding, they are less convenient to install. Flange connections require multiple bolts to tighten the flange, which is not only cumbersome to assemble, but also has uneven bolt preload, which can easily lead to unbalanced force on the sealing surface and cause media leakage. Furthermore, the flange structure is large and difficult to operate in confined spaces. Threaded connections require extremely high thread machining precision on the pipe ends. When the threads are worn, bumped, or otherwise damaged, the sealing performance is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the threads are prone to loosening under vibration conditions, increasing the risk of leakage.

[0004] The drawbacks of these traditional connection methods are even more pronounced in scenarios requiring frequent disassembly and assembly or temporary docking, such as equipment commissioning, pipeline maintenance, and temporary conveying systems. For example, testing metal pipes requires multiple replacements of docking pipes, and the time-consuming and labor-intensive disassembly and assembly of welded or flanged connections significantly impacts work efficiency and reduces sealing reliability.

[0005] To this end, the present invention proposes a metal pipe snap-on sealing connector. Summary of the Invention

The ends of the cylindrical clamps are rounded. The first metal tube and the second metal tube are both provided with clamping grooves, and the rounded ends of the cylindrical clamps are movably positioned and clamped in the clamping grooves; the raised parts are respectively provided with a rotating cavity and movable cavities provided on both sides of the rotating cavity, and an extrusion block is movably installed in the movable cavity. The top end of the cylindrical clamp movably penetrates into the movable cavity and is fixedly connected to the extrusion block; an elastic clamp is fixedly connected between the extrusion block and the top inner wall of the movable cavity;

[0009] A locking and anti-slip mechanism for locking the extrusion block is provided in the rotating cavity; a T-shaped connecting pipe is sealed and slidably sleeved inside the ends of the first metal pipe and the second metal pipe that are close to each other; the T-shaped connecting pipe includes an integral fixedly connected pipe body and a movable sealing ring, and the end faces of the movable sealing ring and the fixed sealing ring are matched and sealed; an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the end of the first metal pipe and the second metal pipe that are close to each other, and the movable sealing ring is sealingly slidably sleeved in the annular groove, and a compensation spring sleeved on the pipe body is fixedly connected between the movable sealing ring and the side wall of the annular groove.

[0010] As a further preference of the present invention, the end of the movable sealing ring is fixedly connected to a rubber sealing ring, and the end of the movable sealing ring is sealed and matched with the end face of the fixed sealing ring through the rubber sealing ring; a first slider is provided on the tube body of the T-shaped connecting pipe, and a sliding groove is provided on the side walls of the first metal pipe and the second metal pipe, and the first slider is slidably installed in the sliding groove along the horizontal direction.

[0011] As a further preference of the present invention, the locking and anti-slip mechanism includes two linkage blocks movably installed in the rotating cavity, a positioning pin is fixedly connected to the outer side of the linkage block, a positioning groove is provided on one side of the extrusion block, and one end of the positioning pin is movably positioned in the positioning groove, and a positioning spring sleeved on the positioning pin is fixedly connected between the linkage block and the side wall of the rotating cavity; a pull rope is fixedly connected to the side of the two linkage blocks close to each other, and the ends of the two pull ropes close to each other are fixedly connected to the same reel, a rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved on the reel, the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the rotating cavity, a knob is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft, a groove is provided on the protruding part, and the knob is provided in the groove.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second slider is provided at the bottom of the linkage block, a guide rail is provided on the bottom inner wall of the rotating cavity, and the second slider is slidably installed on the guide rail along the horizontal direction.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a separation disk is provided on the reel, and the ends of the two pull ropes close to each other are respectively provided on the reel on the upper and lower sides of the separation disk.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mounting hole is provided on the top inner wall of the rotating chamber, a bearing is provided in the mounting hole, and the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the bearing.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide rod is fixedly installed in the movable cavity, a guide hole is provided on the extrusion block, and the extrusion block is slidably sleeved on the guide rod along the vertical direction through the guide hole.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the snap-on sealing sleeve is provided with a through hole, and the cylindrical clamp movably passes through the through hole.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, the rotary shaft and the reel are rotated by a knob. When the reel rotates, the pull rope is reeled in and the positioning pin is moved into the rotating chamber through the linkage block, and the positioning spring is stretched and deformed at the same time. The first metal tube and the second metal tube are moved toward each other and inserted into the snap-on sealing sleeve, so that the first metal tube, the second metal tube and the rubber sealing ring are all in contact with the fixed sealing ring for sealing. At the same time, the rounded end of the cylindrical clamp is clamped in the clamping groove, and the elastic clamp is compressed and deformed. This allows for preliminary snap-on positioning.

[0019] 2. In the present invention, the fixed sealing ring also initially serves as a limiter. Thus, when the first metal pipe and the second metal pipe move toward each other, they are restricted by the fixed sealing ring, prompting the rubber sealing ring and the T-shaped connecting pipe to squeeze the compensation spring. In this way, under the reverse compensation effect of the elastic force of the compensation spring, the rubber sealing ring at the end of the T-shaped connecting pipe and the fixed sealing ring are further compressed and sealed, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0020] 3. In the present invention, when the knob is loosened, the positioning spring returns the positioning pin on the linkage block to the active cavity and positions it in the positioning slot. This positioning pin and the positioning slot ensure that the extrusion block and the cylindrical clamp are firmly fixed in the slot, preventing the first and second metal pipes from loosening after connection. Similarly, by simply performing the reverse operation, the snap-on sealing sleeve, the first and second metal pipes can be quickly disassembled and separated, making the installation and disassembly process very convenient and quick, and facilitating assembly and use.

[0021] To sum up, the metal pipe snap-on sealing connector, through the cooperation of the initial fixation of the snap of the cylindrical clamp and the double locking structure of the positioning pin to prevent falling off, as well as the advantage of tool-free quick release operation, is suitable for operation in a small space. In this way, not only can the first metal pipe and the second metal pipe be quickly installed and connected through the snap-on sealing sleeve, but the connection is also very firm, thereby ensuring that the snap-on sealing sleeve can better seal the first metal pipe and the second metal pipe after installation and connection, avoiding the previous mechanical connection method with cumbersome assembly steps during installation, and thus difficult to operate in a small space, reducing the risk of leakage, while improving work efficiency and making the sealing better.
