Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe fittings, specifically a docking assembly and flange fitting. Background Technology
[0002] Flange fittings are a type of welded pipe fitting. These fittings are used to match pipes. Some are machined, while others are not. Some castings produce the flange as a whole, while welded flanges are machined later. They can be machined in a factory or on-site.
[0003] In the existing technology, the flange pipe is connected between the conveying pipes on both sides by bolts. That is, after the flange pipe is placed between the flanges of the conveying pipes on both sides, the through holes on the surface of the flange pipe are aligned with the through holes on the surface of the flange, and then the bolts are passed through the two sets of through holes and locked to achieve fixation. In this way, a firm connection between the flange pipe and the conveying pipes on both sides is completed.
[0004] However, in traditional flange pipe installation, one worker needs to support the flange pipe while another worker installs the bolts before the bolts are installed. This means that the flange pipe cannot be pre-positioned with the delivery pipe, making it inconvenient for a single person to install the flange pipe. Summary of the Invention
