Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of open joint technology, specifically to a high-load-bearing steel pressure open joint and its forming process. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of pipeline connection, open joints are widely used in industrial transportation, municipal engineering and equipment pipelines due to their advantages of convenient installation and compatibility with various pipe diameters. Their core function is to achieve rapid connection and stable positioning between pipes through a snap-fit structure, ensuring the load-bearing performance and sealing effect of the pipeline system.
[0003] However, existing open joints still have technical defects that affect connection stability and ease of use in practical applications, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high load and long-term stable operation. Specifically, current open joints mainly rely on bolts to limit and fix the pipeline. Bolt holes are pre-set on two retaining rings that are snapped to the outside of the pipeline. The bolts are passed through the holes and tightened with nuts to lock the two retaining rings and thus clamp and limit the pipeline. However, in long-term use, this structure is affected by factors such as pipeline medium flow vibration, equipment operation vibration, or environmental vibration. The bolts and nuts are prone to relative loosening or even deviation, resulting in a decrease in the locking force of the retaining rings and a significant reduction in the stability of the joint. This may not only cause pipeline displacement, but in severe cases, it may also cause pipeline medium leakage, affecting the normal operation of the system. The patent document with announcement number CN216307020U describes a split expansion joint. It uses fastening clips to fit around the sides of two retaining rings to prevent the retaining rings from separating due to loose bolts. However, the fastening clips are set up independently and are independent components from the main body of the split joint. During the installation, disassembly or maintenance of the joint, the clamps are easily lost due to operational negligence. This not only increases the cost of replacing parts, but also delays the progress of pipeline connection work. In addition, the joint cannot effectively prevent detachment after the clamps are lost, which further reduces the safety of pipeline connection. At the same time, when the current joints are connected to the pipeline, they rely solely on a single-layer sealing component inside the joint to achieve the sealing effect, which is poor and cannot effectively prevent fluid from flowing out.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, we propose a high-load-bearing steel press-fit joint and its forming process. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Please see Figure 1-7 A high-load-bearing steel press-opening joint includes two symmetrically arranged retaining rings 1, a first assembly block 2, and a second assembly block 3. The first assembly block 2 and the second assembly block 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two retaining rings 1 and are in contact with each other. The outer walls of the two retaining rings 1 are each fixedly fitted with an outer clamp 4. The two outer clamps 4 are each fixedly fitted with a connecting block 5 at one end close to each other. A support assembly is provided between the two connecting blocks 5. The support assembly is used to connect the two retaining rings 1. The support assembly includes a support base plate 9 and two symmetrically arranged support rods 10. The two support rods 10 are fixedly installed on the top of the support base plate 9 and are rotatably installed inside the two connecting blocks 5. The sides of the two connecting blocks 5 at one end close to each other are rounded to avoid interference when the two connecting blocks 5 rotate along the support rods 10. The support rods 10 are rotatably fitted with the inside of the connecting blocks 5 through their external bearings. The outer wall of the first assembly block 2 is provided with a sliding groove 6, and a rotating plate 7 is slidably inserted inside the sliding groove 6. The second assembly block 3 is provided with a rotating slot 8 on the side close to the first assembly block 2, and the end of the rotating plate 7 is inserted into the rotating slot 8. A positioning component is provided between the side of the rotating plate 7 and the second combination block 3. The positioning component is used to limit the position of the rotating plate 7 after rotation and to fix the position of the first combination block 2 and the second combination block 3 after they are engaged. The longitudinal section of the first combination block 2 and the second combination block 3 is semi-circular. The sliding groove 6 is an arc-shaped groove. A fixing rod 11 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the sliding groove 6. A guide rod 12 is fixedly provided on the rod wall of the fixing rod 11. The guide rod 12 is an arc-shaped rod. The guide rod 12 is slidably provided inside the rotating plate 7. The guide rod 12 is used to limit the rotation direction of the rotating plate 7. The positioning assembly includes a positioning rod 13, a handle 14, and a spring 15. The positioning rod 13 is slidably disposed on the side of the second assembly block 3, and its end is inserted into the rotating slot 8.

The spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 13, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the positioning rod 13 and the second assembly block 3 respectively. The handle 14 is fixedly disposed on the outer end of the positioning rod 13. Two longitudinally arranged sealing strips 19 are fixedly provided on the inner walls of both retaining rings 1. The two longitudinal sealing strips 19 are arranged opposite each other, and the two adjacent sealing strips 19 inside the two retaining rings 1 are in contact with each other.

The middle of the sealing airbag 22 is provided with Inside the sealing cavity 20, the other end of the sealing airbag 22 is fitted into the interior of the strip hole 21 on the other side. When the pipe is inserted into the retaining ring 1, it first contacts one end of the sealing airbag 22, causing the sealing airbag 22 to be compressed, resulting in the internal gas flowing to the other end of the sealing airbag 22. Thus, the other end of the sealing airbag 22 passes through the strip hole 21 on the other side and contacts the outer wall of the pipe.

[0021] The forming process of high load-bearing steel press-fit joints, the specific process steps are as follows: First, raw material selection and pretreatment: High-strength steel is selected as the raw material for the retaining ring 1, the first combined block 2, the second combined block 3, the outer clamp 4, and the connecting block 5. The sealing strip 19 is made of rubber material with good aging resistance and elasticity. The arc-shaped magnetic strip 18 is made of strong magnetic permanent magnet material. At the same time, the metal and elastic materials required for accessories such as fixing rod 11, guide rod 12, positioning rod 13, and spring 15 are prepared. The surface of the metal raw materials is pretreated by removing the oxide layer and oil stains on the surface of the raw materials through rust removal and degreasing processes. Then, tempering heat treatment is carried out to improve the hardness and toughness of the steel, laying the foundation for subsequent processing. Second, the processing and molding of core components: The retaining ring 1, the first combined block 2, the second combined block 3, the outer clamp 4 and the connecting block 5 are cut with steel using cutting equipment. An auxiliary limiting groove 17 is opened at one end of the top of the retaining ring 1 near the top using milling equipment. A groove for installing the sealing strip 19 is machined on the inner wall of the retaining ring 1. Finally, the surface of the retaining ring 1 is galvanized or painted for rust prevention. Third, parts processing: The rotating clamp 7 and rotating groove 8 are processed. At the same time, the fixing rod 11 and the guide rod 12 are made by cutting and grinding the bar stock to ensure that the arc of the guide rod 12 is consistent with the sliding groove 6. The positioning rod 13 is processed into a stepped shaft structure by lathe, and the handle 14 is welded to its outer end. The spring 15 is selected as a standard part according to the design elastic coefficient, or it is made by winding steel wire and heat treatment. Fourth: Component assembly and testing / acceptance: Multiple components are assembled sequentially and then tested and accepted.
[0022] Working principle: First, adjust the position of the two retaining rings 1 through the support assembly, hold the two retaining rings 1, and rotate the two retaining rings 1 along the bearing outside the support rod 10 with the support rod 10 at the top of the support base plate 9 as the rotation axis through the connecting block 5 (the rounded corner design of the connecting block 5 at one end can avoid interference during rotation), open the two retaining rings 1 and put them on the outside of the pipe to be connected, and then release the retaining rings 1 so that the inner wall of the two retaining rings 1 fits against the outer wall of the pipe; Next, the locking and fixing of the first assembly block 2 and the second assembly block 3 is completed. First, hold the handle 14 and pull the positioning rod 13 outward. The positioning rod 13 compresses the spring 15 and disengages from the rotating slot 8 inside the second assembly block 3. Then, push the rotating plate 7 in the sliding groove 6 on the outer wall of the first assembly block 2 so that the rotating plate 7 slides along the arc-shaped guide rod 12 (the fixing rod 11 provides fixed support for the guide rod 12) until the end of the rotating plate 7 is inserted into the rotating slot 8 of the second assembly block 3. Then, release the handle 14. Under the elastic reset action of the spring 15, the positioning rod 13 automatically slides towards the rotating slot 8 and its end is inserted into the insertion hole 16 on the side of the rotating plate 7. At this time, the rotating plate 7 is fixed by the positioning component. The first assembly block 2 and the second assembly block 3 are stably connected through the cooperation of the rotating plate 7 and the rotating slot 8, thereby firmly locking the two retaining rings 1 to the outside of the pipe and preventing the retaining rings 1 from deviating due to vibration. Meanwhile, the sealing strips 19 on the inner walls of the two retaining rings 1 will be in close contact with the outer wall of the pipe. The pushing slopes of the adjacent sealing strips 19 will squeeze the pipe, enhance the sealing between the joint and the pipe, and prevent the leakage of the pipeline medium. In addition, the arc-shaped magnetic strip 18 is slidably embedded into the auxiliary limiting groove 17 at the top of the two retaining rings 1. The arc-shaped magnetic strip 18 and the steel retaining ring 1 are magnetically engaged to further limit the relative displacement of the two retaining rings 1, providing additional limiting for the retaining rings 1 from the top, and improving the overall load-bearing stability and connection reliability of the joint. When it is necessary to disassemble the connector, simply pull the handle 14 again to disengage the positioning rod 13 from the socket 16, push the rotating plate 7 in the opposite direction to disengage it from the rotating slot 8, and then open the two retaining rings 1 to remove the connector from the pipe. The operation is convenient and does not rely on external accessories, avoiding the risk of losing accessories.
