Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Example 1: An improved stainless steel seamless elbow, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the assembly includes a bend 1, guide fins 2, mounting rings 3, connecting rings 4, top blocks 5, first mounting rods 51, second mounting rods 6, first elastic elements 7, wedge blocks 8, arc-shaped clamps 9, first threaded rods 10, threaded sleeves 11, knobs 12, and rubber pads 13. Multiple guide fins 2 are evenly installed inside the bend 1. The guide fins 2 are designed in a wedge shape, gradually thinning from the outside to the inside to optimize fluid flow and reduce resistance. Mounting rings 3 are symmetrically arranged on the bend 1. Four first mounting rods 51 are mounted on the mounting rings 3, each connected to a top block 5. First threaded rods 10 are rotatably mounted on the mounting rings 3. A knob 12 for easy operation is mounted at the front end of the first threaded rod 10. Threaded sleeves 11 are threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 10. A connecting ring 4 is installed on the 11, allowing the rotating knob 12 to drive the connecting ring 4 to move back and forth. The outer edges of the mounting ring 3 and the connecting ring 4 are provided with matching bevel structures. The edges of the mounting ring 3 and the connecting ring 4 adopt mutually matching bevel structures. The edge of the mounting ring 3 is inclined inward, while the edge of the connecting ring 4 protrudes outward to form a bevel, ensuring that the two fit tightly together. Four second mounting rods 6 are slidably installed on the connecting ring 4. Each of the four second mounting rods 6 is connected to a wedge block 8. The four wedge blocks 8 are in movable contact with the top block 5 at the corresponding position. A first elastic element 7 is sleeved on the second mounting rod 6. The two ends of the first elastic element 7 are connected to the second mounting rod 6 and the connecting ring 4 respectively. An arc-shaped clamping block 9 is installed on the second mounting rod 6. A rubber pad 13 is pasted on the arc-shaped clamping block 9 to enhance the anti-slip performance.

[0031] The operator can apply the corresponding technical solutions in the device to the high-pressure fluid pipeline quick connection and sealing technology according to the specific situation. When it is necessary to use the device to assist in seamless butt joint operation of the pipeline, first, the pipeline to be connected is inserted into the mounting ring 3 at both ends of the elbow pipe 1, then the knob 12 is rotated to rotate the first threaded rod 10, the threaded sleeve 11 and the connecting ring 4 fixedly connected therewith are moved in the threaded axial direction, and the connecting ring 4 gradually approaches the mounting ring 3. In this process, the matching inclined angle structures on the mounting ring 3 and the connecting ring 4 are closely fitted to form a reliable metal sealing surface. At the same time, the advancement of the connecting ring 4 forces the top block 5 to slide along the inclined surface of the wedge block 8, drives the wedge block 8 to move inward under the action of the inclined surface, and then drives the synchronous contraction of the arc-shaped clamping blocks 9 thereon, so that the multiple arc-shaped clamping blocks 9 together with the rubber pads 13 on the inside are uniformly pressed against the outer wall of the pipeline, achieving firm clamping and secondary sealing, and ensuring stable connection, anti-vibration and anti-leakage.

[0032] Example 2: Based on example 1, as shown in Figures 6-7 The mounting sleeve 14, the sliding rod 15, the second elastic member 16, the floating block 17, the pressure gauge 18, the connecting rod 19, the second threaded rod 20 and the baffle 21 are further included. The mounting sleeve 14 is vertically upwardly arranged at the top central position of the elbow pipe 1. The sliding rod 15 is slidably connected in the mounting sleeve 14. The floating block 17 is connected to the lower end of the sliding rod 15. The overall average density of the floating block 17 is less than the density of water, and the floating block 17 can float up and down with the change of the fluid pressure in the pipeline. The pressure gauge 18 is arranged at the upper end of the sliding rod 15, and is used to display the pressure value in the pipeline in real time, so as to help the operator to master the system operation state and prevent the risk of overpressure or leakage. The second elastic member 16 is sleeved on the sliding rod 15, and the two ends of the second elastic member 16 are connected with the mounting sleeve 14 and the floating block 17 respectively. The second elastic member 16 provides a pre-tightening force to ensure that the floating block 17 remains in a stable position under no pressure or low pressure, and at the same time, plays a buffering and resetting role when the pressure fluctuates, avoids the pressure gauge from being subjected to a severe impact, and prolongs the service life of the detection element. The connecting rod 19 is installed on the sliding rod 15. The connecting rod 19 is a V-shaped connecting rod. The second threaded rod 20 is threadedly installed at the two ends of the connecting rod 19. The second threaded rod 20 is connected with the circular baffle 21 at the lower part. The size of the baffle 21 matches the end face of the mounting ring 3, and the baffle 21 can completely cover the butt joint of the mounting ring 3 in the closed state. The second threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected with the mounting ring 3, and the baffle 21 can completely cover and seal the mounting ring 3. The baffle 21 is not completely sealed, and two symmetrical arc-shaped grooves 2101 are formed on the surface of the baffle 21. When the baffle 21 is in a fixed position and does not rotate, the fluid can only pass through the two arc-shaped grooves 2101 to form a throttling effect, which can be used to adjust the flow.

[0033] The operator can apply the corresponding technical solutions in the device to the intelligent fluid pressure response and adaptive flow control technology according to the specific situation. When the device is needed to assist in the dynamic regulation and control operation of the fluid in the pipeline, first, ensure that the device is in a normal working state. When the water flow pressure in the pipe rises, the floating block 17 is pushed upward in the installation sleeve 14 by the water pressure, driving the sliding rod 15 and the connecting rod 19 to rise synchronously. Since the connecting rod 19 is screwed with the second threaded rod 20, its vertical movement is converted into the rotational movement of the second threaded rod 20, which in turn drives the baffle 21 connected thereto to rotate, opening the originally closed port, and the state of guiding the flow through the arc-shaped groove 2101 changes to directly opening the channel, greatly improving the fluid passing capacity, realizing automatic drainage and flux regulation when the pressure rises, realizing the linkage control of pressure sensing and flow passage opening and closing. When the pressure decreases, the second elastic member 16 releases the elastic force and pushes the floating block 17 to reset, completing an intelligent response cycle.

[0034] Example 3: Based on example 2, as shown in Figures 8-10 The installation sliding cylinder 22, the temperature meter 23, the temperature probe 2301, the rubber ring 24, the net bag 25, the rotating rod 26 and the handle 27 are further included. The installation sliding cylinder 22 is arranged on the connecting ring 4, and the temperature probe 2301 is slidably arranged in the installation sliding cylinder 22. The installation sliding cylinder 22 is used to guide the temperature probe 2301 to stably and lowly resistantly slide in a straight line. The temperature meter 23 is arranged at the top end of the temperature probe 2301. The rubber ring 24 is inlaid in the installation ring 3, which effectively prevents high-pressure fluid leakage. The net bag 25 is arranged in the rubber ring 24 and is woven by corrosion-resistant nylon or stainless steel wire, which is used to intercept particulate impurities, welding slag or deposits flowing with the fluid, prevent them from scratching or blocking the sealing surface, thereby prolonging the service life of the sealing structure, and is especially suitable for new pipeline flushing or industrial circulating water systems that are prone to contain impurities. The two rotating rods 26 are rotatably arranged in the middle of the elbow pipe 1, and the arc-shaped handles 27 are arranged on the two rotating rods 26. When the handles 27 are not used, they keep the overall structure neat and beautiful under the magnetic action, and can effectively avoid the space occupation or personnel bumping risk caused by the suspended protrusion, and are especially suitable for narrow installation space and dense pipeline layout in industrial environment.

[0035] The operator can apply the corresponding technical solutions in the device to the pipeline temperature monitoring and sealing enhancement technology according to the specific situation. When the device needs to be used to assist in equipment operation state detection and installation and maintenance operation, first, confirm that each functional component is in normal working condition, the temperature probe 2301 on the installation sliding cylinder 22 can detect the temperature of the outer wall of the pipeline in real time, the temperature probe 2301 can slide along the radial direction of the installation sliding cylinder 22 to adapt to different pipe diameters, and the temperature probe 2301 can ensure accurate temperature measurement, the reading is directly displayed on the temperature table 23, which is convenient for on-site monitoring, at the same time, rotating the handle 27 along the rotating rod 26 can easily lift or move the whole device, which significantly improves the carrying and installation efficiency, during the connection process, the rubber ring 24 arranged in the installation ring 3 can effectively fill the small gap between the pipeline and the interface, enhance the sealing performance, and prevent medium leakage, the embedded net bag 25 has an elastic structure, which can filter the particle impurities in the fluid, protect the sealing surface, and prolong the service life.

[0036] The above-described embodiments only express the preferred embodiments of the present application, which are described in detail, but should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications, improvements and substitutions can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
