[0030] The present application will be further illustrated in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0031] As shown in the figure, the present invention is a pipe tightening compression joint, when the pipe joint is installed, Figure 2 As shown, first pass the connector sleeve 3 through the hose 15, then pass the connector core 1 through the hose. Move the connector core 1 to the location on the hose where the connector is to be installed. Cover the connector core with the connector compression sleeve 2, and then move the connector sleeve 3 along the outer wall of the connector compression sleeve 2 toward the end of the connector core. Bolts 14 are provided on the connector sleeve 3 and the connector core 1, and are fixed in the countersunk holes 13 at the end of the connector core 1. As the bolts are tightened, the connector sleeve 3 is driven toward the end of the connector core 1, thereby tightly fitting the connector compression sleeve 2, the hose 15, and the connector core 1.

[0032] There are corresponding protrusions 4 and grooves 5 on the joint inner core 1 and the joint compression sleeve 2, and the hose 15 is placed between the two; the joint compression sleeve 2 is composed of several detachable and movably connected arc-shaped pieces 6, which are sleeved on the joint inner core 1 to cover the outer surface of the hose 15; the surfaces where the joint compression sleeve 2 and the joint outer sleeve 3 fit together are inclined surfaces. When the joint outer sleeve 3 moves toward the end of the joint inner core 1, under the action of the extrusion force, the joint compression sleeve 2 is gradually squeezed toward the joint inner core 1, thereby tightly clamping the hose 15 between the two.

[0033] The present invention also adds a self-locking device, such as Figure 2 and 4 As shown, small grooves 7 are spaced apart on the outer surface of the joint compression sleeve 2, and a raised spring sheet 8 and a thick iron sheet 9 are placed inside each groove 7. Since the iron sheet is placed above the spring sheet, when the spring sheet is set on the right side of the groove, the left side of the iron sheet will be tilted up and higher than the surface of the joint compression sleeve. The inner side of the joint jacket is provided with multiple circles of recessed grooves 10 (the grooves 10 described in the present invention are in the shape of a right triangle, and their right angles are set at one end close to the flange). In the process of the joint jacket moving toward the end of the joint inner core, when the joint jacket passes through the grooves 7, the inner wall will press down the iron sheet 9, and when passing through the grooves 10, the iron sheet 9 will be tilted up again, making it impossible for the joint jacket 3 to retract. According to the actual combination of the hose and the joint, the joint jacket can be further moved toward the end of the joint inner core until the joint and the hose are firmly locked.

[0034] Due to the unique characteristics of thermal pipes, which primarily transport media such as hot water and steam, the screws and bolts used in the installation structure of thermal pipe joints are prone to rust and damage. This solution uses tightening bolts to drive the joint jacket, which in turn secures the hose. This solution eliminates the need for power distribution equipment, offers a lightweight structure, and bolts can be removed later, preventing rust and wear.

[0035] The convex part 4 is an isosceles trapezoidal block, and the clamping groove part 5 is a U-shaped groove, so that the friction of the joint and the sealing performance are increased.

[0036] The joint locking force is realized by the inclined surface sliding.

[0037] The self-locking structure (cannot slide out after locking) is designed to prevent the joint compression sleeve from sliding and loosening.

[0038] There is no rebound phenomenon caused by compression, and precise installation is not required, so that the displacement risk of the joint compression sleeve is reduced.

[0039] The compression stroke of the joint sleeve can be well unified when the joint compression sleeve is compressed.

[0040] In addition, the number of circumferential locking bolts is determined according to the size of the installation caliber.

[0041] It should be noted that the above content only illustrates the technical idea of the present application, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. For ordinary skilled persons in the art, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
