[0097] Embodiment 3:

[0098] The sealing performance evaluation method of the pipe joint in this embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 2, and is specifically as follows:

[0099] The pipe joint comprises an extrusion ring 1, a joint 2 and a conduit 3, and the assembly structure therebetween is as shown in Figure 2 The extrusion ring 1 moves in the axial direction under the external axial extrusion, extrudes the joint 2, and then extrudes the conduit 3, so as to finally complete the extrusion and form the final permanent assembly structure.

[0100] Based on the structure of the pipe joint, an axisymmetric finite element model of the pipe joint is constructed with the central axis of the conduit 3 as the reference, and the axisymmetric finite element model is meshed. In the finite element simulation, the simulation result data such as stress and pressure are closely related to the mesh size, the smaller the mesh size, the higher the calculation accuracy, and the lower the corresponding calculation efficiency. In the present application, considering the calculation efficiency and the calculation accuracy, the global size of the mesh is set to be less than or equal to 0.08 mm; the mesh at the contact part of the conduit 3 and the joint 2 needs to be appropriately refined, and the refined range is the axisymmetric finite element model within 2 mm before and after the inner wall groove of the joint 2.

[0101] The axisymmetric finite element model is subjected to load and constraint conditions;

[0102] A spring constraint is arranged on one side of the conduit 3, and the initial stiffness value of the spring constraint is 50; a fixed constraint is arranged on one side of the joint 2, and an axial displacement load is applied to one end of the extrusion ring 1, and the displacement amount is the distance from the extrusion outer end face to the joint flange end face. ​

[0103] Cancel the spring constraint, cancel the axial displacement load, so that the axial extrusion part of the axisymmetric finite element model is free to rebound, to simulate the local rebound of the pipe joint as a whole after the butt joint of the pipe joint is completed and the external force is removed. Canceling the spring constraint and the axial displacement load is the rebound process after the installation of the model pipe joint is completed, at which time the stress state of the pipe joint as a whole will change.

[0104] A contact path is set on the sealing interface of the axisymmetric finite element model, and the contact pressure on the sealing interface is analyzed to obtain a pressure curve distributed along the contact path.

[0105] The sealing evaluation area between the guide pipe 3 and the joint 2 is established, and the sealing performance is evaluated based on the sealing pressure of the sealing interface. By reading the contact pressure data between the joint 2 and the guide pipe 3, a pressure curve distributed along the contact path is obtained as shown in Figure 3 .

[0106] The sealing width is determined.

[0107] According to the obtained pressure curve, the sealing width of the contact part between the groove part of the joint 2 and the guide pipe 3 is read, and the specific selection rule of the sealing width is:

[0108] The region width between the adjacent pressure mutation starting point and the pressure mutation ending point is selected as the sealing width.

[0109] Wherein:

[0110] The pressure mutation starting point The selection rule is:

[0111] ;

[0112] The pressure mutation ending point The selection rule is:

[0113] ;

[0114] As shown in Figure 4 , two sealing widths are obtained according to the rules in this embodiment, which are respectively denoted as w 1, w 2, and w 1=0.42mm, w 2 =0.43mm.

[0115] The sealing performance index of the part to be evaluated is calculated.

[0116] The average contact stress in the sealing width range is solved, and the sealing width w 1 is taken as an example:

[0117] The sealing widthw 1 all contact stress data points in the range, counted as where m is the number of contact stress data points, 1≤i≤m; represents the contact pressure corresponding to the ith contact stress data point.

[0118] The contact stress data set is cleaned, and the cleaning steps are as follows:

[0119] The average value u and the standard deviation of the contact stress calculation value are calculated ;

[0120] The calculation formula of the average value is:

[0121] ;

[0122] where: u represents the average value of the contact pressure; m represents the number of contact stress data points, 1≤i≤m; represents the contact pressure corresponding to the ith contact stress data point.

[0123] The calculation formula of the standard deviation is:

[0124] ;

[0125] where: represents the standard deviation; u represents the average value of the contact pressure; m represents the number of contact stress data points, 1≤i≤m; represents the contact pressure corresponding to the ith contact stress data point.

[0126] The contact stress data points greater than the cleaning threshold T in the data set P are screened to obtain the data set , where T is valued as follows:

[0127] ;

[0128] The data set P is screened according to the number of elements in the data set Q, and the specific rules are as follows: if the number of elements in the data set Q is 0, the elements in the data set P do not need to be removed; if the number of elements in the data set Q is greater than 0, the elements in the data set P belonging to the data set Q are removed, and then the operation of sealing performance index calculation and cleaning is repeated on the new data set P until the number of elements in the new data set Q is 0, and the final contact stress data point data set is .

[0129] Based on the new data set the average contact pressure in the sealing width range is obtained:

[0130]

[0131] Wherein: PS represents the average contact pressure in the sealing width range; n represents the number of contact pressure data after cleaning; represents the i th contact pressure data value, 1≤i≤n.

[0132] The final calculation of the sealing width w 1 range average contact pressure PS1=623.843.

[0133] The sealing performance calculation model is established as follows:

[0134] ;

[0135] Wherein: Q represents the sealing performance index; C represents the sealing medium performance index coefficient, which is related to the sealing medium and the working environment temperature, and in this embodiment, helium is taken as the working medium, the working environment temperature is taken as 20℃, and the corresponding coefficient is taken as 1107.156 m / s; D represents the initial diameter of the conduit without being subjected to pressure in the sealing width range, and in this embodiment, D1=8mm; H represents the roughness of the conduit wall, and in this embodiment, H=0.8 ; w represents the sealing width; e represents the natural constant; k represents the sealing material performance coefficient, which is related to the sealing interface material, and in this embodiment, the material of the extrusion ring 1 is TC4, and the material of the joint 2 is TC4, and in this embodiment, k=-0.023MPa -1 ; PS represents the average contact pressure in the sealing width range; represents the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pipe joint, and in this embodiment, =2Mpa.

[0136] is the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the joint, and in this embodiment, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the joint is 2MPa.

[0137] Based on the above formula, the values of w 1 and w 2 are brought in, i.e. w 1=0.42mm, w 2 =0.43mm.

[0138] The pressure performance index corresponding to the pressure width w 1 is:

[0139] Q1 = 1.48×10 -8 Pa∙m 3 / s;

[0140] The pressure performance index corresponding to the pressure width w 2 is:

[0141] Q2 = 5.18×10-7 Pa∙m 3 / s;

[0142] The calculated sealing performance index Q is compared with the sealing performance target index QS, and QS = 1 x 10 -7 Pa∙m 3 / s.

[0143] Q1 < QS, indicating that the structure in the pressure width w 1 range meets the sealing performance requirements;

[0144] Q2 > QS, indicating that the structure in the pressure width w 2 range does not meet the sealing performance requirements.

[0145] Therefore, the structure in the pressure width w 2 range needs to be improved, for example, increasing the outer diameter size of the structure in the pressure width w 2 range, reducing the inner diameter size of the structure in the pressure width w 2 range, adjusting the interval or tolerance of the groove in the structure in the pressure width w 2 range.

[0146] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in any form. Any simple modification or equivalent change made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiment falls within the protection scope of the present application.
