Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pipelines, and specifically to a chemical pipe fitting with an internal support structure. Background Art

[0002] In the chemical industry, pipe fittings are important components for fluid transmission, and their stability and sealing performance are crucial. Traditional chemical pipe fittings often rely solely on the thickness and material of the pipe wall to ensure the pressure-bearing capacity and sealing effect. However, in some high-pressure, high-temperature, or corrosive environments, this simple structure may not meet the requirements for long-term stable operation. To improve the compressive strength and sealing performance of pipe fittings, additional support structures or sealing measures are usually required.

[0003] Traditional support structures often add metal brackets or stiffeners outside the pipe fittings. Although this method improves the stability of the pipe fittings to a certain extent, it increases the installation complexity and cost, and may also have a negative impact on the fluid transmission efficiency of the pipe fittings. In addition, traditional sealing measures, such as using gaskets or sealants, although they can ensure the sealing performance to a certain extent, are prone to sealing failure due to aging, corrosion, etc. after long-term operation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new structure of chemical pipe fittings that can both improve the compressive strength of the pipe fittings and ensure long-term sealing stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chemical pipe fitting with an internal support structure to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A chemical pipe fitting with an internal support structure, including a pipe. Flange one and flange two are respectively provided at both ends of the pipe. A plurality of reinforcing crossbars are fixed on the surface of flange one. A plurality of inner support rings are fixed between the plurality of reinforcing crossbars. One end of the reinforcing crossbar away from flange one is fixed with a screw rod. After the screw rod penetrates through flange two, a nut is sleeved and screwed on the rod body of the screw rod. Bolt holes are provided on the surfaces of both flange one and flange two.

[0007] Preferably, buckle grooves are provided on the surfaces of both flange one and flange two. The buckle grooves are circular grooves. Both ends of flange one are respectively inserted into the buckle grooves on the surfaces of flange one and flange two. A rubber sealing sleeve is fixed inside the buckle groove. The rubber sealing sleeve is a circular plate with a "C"-shaped cross-section. The rubber sealing sleeve is clamped between the buckle groove and the pipe to generate elastic deformation.

[0008] Preferably, the rod length of the reinforcing crossbar is less than the pipe length of the pipe. The plurality of inner support rings are arranged and distributed equidistantly and equally sized along the long side of the reinforcing crossbar. The reinforcing crossbar leans against the inner ring surface of the pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a reserved groove is provided on the side of the flange away from the pipeline, and the reserved groove is a circular groove. A through hole is provided on the surface of the reserved groove. There are multiple through holes, and the through holes correspond to the screw rod one by one. The screw rod passes through the through holes. After the nut is locked on the screw rod, the nut is located on the inner side of the reserved groove.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber retaining ring is sleeved and fixed on the inner ring surface of the reserved groove, and the outer ring surface of the rubber retaining ring abuts against the outer ring surface of the reserved groove.

[0011] Preferably, an assembling ring is fixed on the side of flange 2 away from the pipeline, and an assembling groove is opened on the side of flange 1 away from the pipeline. The assembling groove is an annular groove, and the assembling groove and the assembling ring match. The pipeline is provided with two flanges. After flange 1 and flange 2 are installed at both ends of the two pipelines, when the two pipelines are spliced ​​head to tail, the assembling ring on flange 2 at one end of the pipeline is inserted into the assembling groove set on the surface of flange 1 at the other end of the pipeline.

[0012] Preferably, the inner ring surface of the assembly groove and the outer ring surface of the assembly groove are both provided with a clamping groove.

[0013] The clamping groove is a circular ring groove, and rubber rings are fixed on the inner ring surface and the outer ring surface of the assembling ring. After the assembling ring is inserted into the corresponding assembling groove, the rubber ring is inserted into the corresponding clamping groove.

[0014] Preferably, an elastic plug is fixed in a groove on the side of the bolt hole on the second surface of the flange away from the pipe. The elastic plug is an arc-shaped piece. There are multiple elastic plugs, and the multiple elastic plugs are distributed in a circle with the bolt hole as the center axis. After the two pipes are spliced ​​end to end, the elastic plug on the second surface of the flange at one end of the pipe is inserted into the bolt hole set on the first surface of the flange at the other end of the pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The chemical pipe fitting with an internal support structure proposed by the present invention effectively improves the compressive strength of the pipe fitting by arranging a support skeleton composed of a reinforcing cross bar and an inner support ring inside the pipeline. This internal support structure not only enhances the radial bearing capacity of the pipe fitting, but also resists axial and bending loads to a certain extent, thereby improving the overall stability and service life of the pipe fitting. The support skeleton is fixed by the buckle groove and reserved groove on the flange, and there is no need to add additional brackets or reinforcing ribs to the outside of the pipe fitting. At the same time, the design of the assembly ring and the assembly groove makes the connection between pipes more convenient and reduces the difficulty and cost of installation. In addition, the replaceability of the elastic plug and the rubber ring also facilitates subsequent maintenance and overhaul work. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 12 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a chemical pipe fitting with an internal support structure, including a pipe 1. Flange plates one 2 and flange plates two 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the pipe 1. Buckle grooves 4 are formed on the surfaces of the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3. The buckle grooves 4 are circular grooves. The two ends of the flange plates one 2 are respectively inserted into the buckle grooves 4 on the surfaces of the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3. A rubber sealing sleeve 5 is fixed inside the buckle grooves 4. The rubber sealing sleeve 5 is a circular plate with a "匚"-shaped cross-section. The rubber sealing sleeve 5 is clamped between the buckle grooves 4 and the pipe 1 to generate elastic deformation; a plurality of reinforcing cross bars 6 are fixed on the surface of the flange plates one 2. A plurality of inner support rings 7 are fixed between the plurality of reinforcing cross bars 6. The rod length of the reinforcing cross bars 6 is less than the pipe length of the pipe 1. The plurality of inner support rings 7 are arranged and distributed at equal distances and equal sizes along the long side of the reinforcing cross bars 6. The reinforcing cross bars 6 lean against the inner ring surface of the pipe 1.

[0032] During use, flange plates one 2 and flange plates two 3 are installed at both ends of the pipe 1 to fix the two pipes 1 through flanges and bolts during connection. And reinforcing cross bars 6 are installed on the flange plates one 2. The plurality of reinforcing cross bars 6 and the plurality of inner support rings 7 form a support framework. The support framework is inserted into the pipe 1 to improve the compressive strength of the pipe 1.

[0033] A screw rod 10 is fixed at one end of the reinforcing cross bar 6 away from the flange plates one 2. After the screw rod 10 penetrates through the flange plates two 3, a nut 11 is sleeved and screwed on the rod body of the screw rod 10; a reserved groove 8 is formed on the side of the flange plates two 3 away from the pipe 1. The reserved groove 8 is a circular groove. A plurality of through holes 9 are formed on the surface of the reserved groove 8. There are a plurality of through holes 9, and the through holes 9 correspond to the screw rods 10 one by one. The screw rod 10 penetrates through the through holes 9. After the nut 11 is locked on the screw rod 10, the nut 11 is located inside the reserved groove 8; a rubber retaining ring 12 is sleeved and fixed on the inner ring surface of the reserved groove 8. The outer ring surface of the rubber retaining ring 12 abuts against the outer ring surface of the reserved groove 8.

[0034] During use, when the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3 are respectively installed at both ends of the pipe 1, and both ends of the pipe 1 are respectively inserted into the buckle grooves 4 on the surfaces of the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3, at this time the screw rod 10 passes through the through holes 9 and extends into the reserved groove 8. The rubber retaining ring 12 is lifted with a finger, and the nut 11 is sleeved and screwed on the corresponding screw rod 10. After the nut 11 is tightened, one end of the reinforcing cross bar 6 abuts against the surface of the flange plates two 3. The flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3 tightly clamp the pipe 1. At the same time, the support framework is installed in the pipe 1, and the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3 are fixed on both sides of the pipe 1. The reason for installing the rubber sealing sleeve 5 in the buckle grooves 4 is to improve the sealing performance when the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3 clamp the pipe 1. In this way, it is convenient to install the support framework with the flange plates one 2 and the flange plates two 3 on the pipe 1 as needed.

[0035] An assembling ring 13 is fixed on the side of the flange 2 3 away from the pipeline 1, and an assembling groove 14 is provided on the side of the flange 1 2 away from the pipeline 1. The assembling groove 14 is an annular groove, and the assembling groove 14 matches the assembling ring 13. The pipeline 1 is provided with two. After the flanges 1 2 and flanges 2 3 are installed at both ends of the two pipelines 1, when the two pipelines 1 are spliced ​​end to end, the assembling ring 13 on the flange 2 3 at the end of one pipeline 1 is inserted into the assembling groove 14 set on the surface of the flange 2 at the end of the other pipeline 1; the inner ring surface of the assembling groove 14 and the outer ring surface of the assembling groove 14 are provided with a clamping groove 15, and the clamping groove 15 is a circular groove. The inner ring surface and the outer ring surface of the assembling ring 13 are fixed with rubber rings 16. After the assembling ring 13 is inserted into the corresponding assembling groove 14, the rubber ring 16 is inserted into the corresponding clamping groove 15.

[0036] During use, when two pipes 1 are spliced ​​end to end, the assembling ring 13 is inserted into the corresponding assembling groove 14, and the rubber ring 16 is inserted into the corresponding clamping groove 15, so as to improve the sealing performance of the flange 1 2 and the flange 2 3 after being fixed by bolts.

[0037] Bolt holes 17 are provided on the surfaces of flange 1 2 and flange 2 3. An elastic plug 18 is fixed in a notch on the side of the bolt hole 17 on the surface of flange 2 3 away from the pipeline 1. The elastic plug 18 is an arc-shaped piece. There are multiple elastic plugs 18, and the multiple elastic plugs 18 are distributed in a circle with the bolt hole 17 as the central axis. After the two pipelines 1 are spliced ​​end to end, the elastic plug 18 on the surface of flange 2 3 at the end of one pipeline 1 is inserted into the bolt hole 17 set on the surface of flange 1 2 at the end of the other pipeline 1.

[0038] When in use, after the two pipes 1 are spliced ​​end to end, the elastic plug 18 is inserted into the bolt hole 17. When the screw rod of the bolt passes through the bolt hole 17 on the surface of flange 1 2 and flange 2 3, the elastic plug 18 is expanded and deformed. The deformed elastic plug 18 is clamped between the screw rod and the bolt hole 17 to prevent the screw rod from loosening from the bolt hole 17. Then the bolts are tightened and flange 1 2 and flange 2 3 are fixed.
