Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline compensators, in particular to an elastic compensation system for an oil cooling pipeline of a steam turbine of a ship. Background Art
[0002] The elastic compensation system for ship steam turbine oil cooling pipes is designed to absorb deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction, vibration, or mechanical displacement. It typically consists of an elastic compensator, fixed and guide brackets, seals, and connectors. Through elastic deformation, it absorbs axial, lateral, and angular displacement of the pipes, protecting the pipes and equipment, ensuring stable oil circulation, and improving system safety. Its primary application is in ship steam turbine systems, where it ensures the reliable operation of oil cooling pipes under high temperatures, high vibration, and complex sea conditions. Furthermore, the system plays a key role in nuclear-powered vessels and ships operating in extreme conditions (such as icebreakers and deep-sea research vessels), which place stringent requirements on piping systems, ensuring stable operation of equipment under extreme conditions. The existing patent (publication number: CN218208375U) discloses a metal bellows compensator for a flange-connected steel pipe. The compensator facilitates the installation and removal of the metal bellows compensator on the steel pipe, reducing the difficulty of the work and shortening the replacement time of the metal bellows compensator, thereby reducing the gas outage time of the gas pipeline. However, although the compensator is easy to install and disassemble, the sealing performance of its installation connection is poor, which can easily lead to oil leakage, polluting the environment and causing waste of resources. It also affects the pressure and flow stability of the oil cooling system, reduces the operating efficiency of the turbine, and long-term leakage may also cause equipment failure, increase maintenance costs, and endanger the safety of ship navigation.

The circumferential surfaces of the two airbag rings are respectively provided with four pressure hoops at equal distances in a circle. A transmission assembly is provided on one side of the two threaded sleeves, and the transmission assembly is connected to the eight clamping heads and the eight pressure hoops.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] Embodiment 1, by Figures 1 to 7 The present invention includes a hard tube 1, both sides of the hard tube 1 are fixedly installed with a corrugated telescopic tube 2, and the two corrugated telescopic tubes 2 are fixedly installed with a butt joint 3 on the side away from each other. A connecting tube 4 is inserted into the interior of the two butt joints 3, and a tightening disc 21 is fixedly installed on the surface of the two connecting tubes 4. Four clamping heads 17 are respectively arranged at equal distances in an annular manner on the surfaces of the two tightening discs 21. The surfaces of the two butt joints 3 are respectively provided with a threaded sleeve 22, and a plurality of ribs 23 are fixedly installed on the surfaces of the two threaded sleeves 22 at equal distances in an annular manner. The two threaded sleeves 22 are threadedly connected to the two butt joints 3 through external threads 34 provided on the surfaces of the two butt joints 3, and a ring groove 31 is provided on one side of the interior of the two butt joints 3. The inner walls of the two butt joints 3 are fixedly installed with expansion sealing rings 11, and the insides of the two ring grooves 31 are fixedly installed with airbag rings 12. Four air nozzles 13 are fixedly installed on the side of the two airbag rings 12 close to each other at equal distances. One end of the air nozzle 13 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the expansion sealing ring 11 through the trachea 14. The circumferential surfaces of the two airbag rings 12 are respectively provided with four pressure hoops 18 at equal distances. One side of the two threaded sleeves 22 is provided with a transmission assembly, which is transmission-connected to the eight clamping heads 17 and the eight pressure hoops 18. When the two threaded sleeves 22 rotate and move, power is output to the eight clamping heads 17 and the eight pressure hoops 18 through the transmission assembly, so that the eight clamping heads 17 fix the two butt joints 3 by pressing the two clamping plates 21, and the eight pressure hoops 18 squeeze the two airbag rings 12 to inflate the interior of the two expansion sealing rings 11.
[0017] A fixing ring 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rigid tube 1, and four connecting blocks 6 are fixedly installed at equal distances on the circumferential surface of the fixing ring 5. A limiting rod 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting block 6, and both ends of the surface of the four limiting rods 7 are sleeved with limiting sleeves 8. One side of the limiting sleeves 8 is fixedly connected to the two butt joints 3 through support rods 9; four positioning rods 19 are fixedly installed on the side where the two tightening plates 21 are close to each other, and a positioning hole 20 is opened on the side where the two butt joints 3 are away from each other, and the positioning rods 19 are inserted into the inside of the positioning hole 20.
[0018] During installation, the operator inserts the two connecting pipes 4 into the interior of the two butt joints 3, and at the same time drives the clamping plate 21 to drive the positioning rod 19 to be inserted into the interior of the positioning hole 20 for positioning. Then the operator rotates the two threaded sleeves 22 in turn to move in opposite directions. The threaded sleeves 22 can be rotated and moved by the cooperation of the two external threads 34. When the threaded sleeves 22 move, they drive the clamping head 17 through the transmission assembly to press the clamping plate 21 onto the two butt joints 3.

[0020] The operator rotates the two threaded sleeves 22 in turn and moves them back to back. The threaded sleeves 22 can be rotated and moved by the cooperation of the two external threads 34. When the threaded sleeves 22 move, they push the contact head 16 through the pushing ring 24, so that the contact head 16 drives the clamping rod 10 to rotate along the rotating shaft 33. When the clamping rod 10 rotates, the spring 30 is squeezed to contract. The elastic force of the spring 30 can make the clamping rod 10 have elastic reset ability. When the clamping rod 10 rotates, it drives the clamping head 17 to press the clamping plate 21 onto the two docking joints 3, and at the same time, the ends of the two connecting pipes 4 that are close to each other are pressed against the sealing gaskets 35 inside the two docking joints 3 to reduce the gap for effective sealing, thereby increasing its sealing performance while quickly fixing and installing.

When the connection frame 27 moves, it drives the insertion rod 28 to slide along the inside of the sleeve 29, so that the insertion rod 28 drives the pressure hoop 18 to squeeze the airbag ring 12 through the connecting strip 32, so that the airbag ring 12 squeezes its internal gas into the interior of the expansion sealing ring 11 through the air nozzle 13 and the air tube 14 to make it expand, thereby filling the gap to further improve the sealing performance.
