[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: As Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a spring-supported thrust-free bend expansion joint, comprising a pipe body mechanism 1, the pipe body mechanism 1 including an inlet pipe 103, one end of the inlet pipe 103 being connected to a spring-supported thrust-free expansion joint 104, one end of the spring-supported thrust-free expansion joint 104 being connected to a middle connecting pipe 105, one end of the middle connecting pipe 105 being connected to a bellows 107, one end of the bellows 107 being connected to an outlet pipe 108, and the other end of the inlet pipe 103 being fixedly connected to an inlet flange 101. 1. Several first mounting holes 102 are evenly distributed around the axial direction. A connecting ring 106 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the middle connecting pipe 105 and the outlet pipe 108. Several guide rods 109 are evenly distributed around the axial direction of the connecting ring 106. An outlet flange 110 is installed on the side of the outlet pipe 108. Several second mounting holes 111 are evenly distributed around the axial direction of the outlet flange 110. A limit ring 112 is provided on the inner side of the inlet pipe 103 and the outlet pipe 108. A tungsten carbide inner tube 113 is provided on the inner side of the limit ring 112. Spring mechanism 2 includes an inner spring piece 203 and an outer spring piece 204. Both the inner and outer spring pieces 203 and 204 have a 205 on their side mid-sections. A first spring member 206 for elastic support is fixedly connected to the side of the 205. An inner guide rod 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the 205 and passes through the inner side of the first spring member 206. One end of the first spring member 206 is fixedly connected to a through seat 208. The inner guide rod 207 movably passes through the inner side of the through seat 208. Connecting bolts 202 are provided at both ends of the inner spring piece 203 and the outer spring piece 204. A collar 201 is provided between each of the two connecting bolts 202. A limit block 209 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner guide rod 207. A support column 210 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the through seat 208, and a fixed base plate 211 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support column 210.

[0023] In this embodiment, the inlet pipe 103 is connected to the inlet position, and the spring-supported thrustless expansion joint 104 connects the inlet pipe 103 to the middle connecting pipe 105. This facilitates balancing of axial forces generated by the pipeline medium pressure at bends. The bellows 107 connects the middle connecting pipe 105 and the outlet pipe 108, facilitating the absorption of pipeline deformation during thermal expansion and contraction due to changes in pipeline internal temperature, thus preventing excessive stress on the pipeline. The inlet flange 101 facilitates the fastening of the inlet pipe 103 with bolts through the first mounting hole 102, achieving the connection function. The connecting ring 106, in conjunction with the guide rod 109, provides stability to the connection between the middle connecting pipe 105 and the outlet pipe 108. The outlet flange 110, in conjunction with the second mounting hole 111 and bolted connection, facilitates connection to the discharge outlet, enabling the discharge function. The limiting ring 112, located internally, facilitates the installation of the tungsten carbide inner tube 113. The tungsten carbide inner tube 113 effectively improves the wear resistance of the pipeline, resisting erosion during media flow.

[0024] The device features symmetrically fixed connecting bolts 202 on the outer surfaces of both collars 201. These bolts 202 are respectively fixed to the ends of the inner spring piece 203 and the outer spring piece 204. This connection structure significantly improves the ease of assembly of the collars 201, allowing for quick and precise placement of the collars onto the outer wall of the target pipe. In actual use, the inner spring piece 203 and the outer spring piece 204 can respectively fit and support the inner and outer sides of the spring-supported thrustless expansion joint 104, forming a bidirectional clamping support structure. Mounting holes 205 are provided on the surfaces of both the inner and outer spring pieces 203 and 204. These mounting holes 205 serve as connection fulcrums, facilitating precise positioning and secure installation of the first spring piece 206 and the inner guide rod 207. One end of the first spring member 206 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the through seat 208, while the inner guide rod 207 moves axially through the inner through hole of the through seat 208. When the spring-supported thrustless expansion joint 104 is subjected to axial impact force, the first spring member 206 can generate a reverse elastic force through its own elastic deformation, thereby effectively offsetting the axial impact force and achieving a buffering and shock-absorbing effect. At the same time, the inner guide rod 207 can reciprocate linearly along the through hole of the through seat 208, providing a smooth guide for the expansion and contraction deformation of the first spring member 206, avoiding problems such as skewness or twisting of the spring member, and ensuring the stability of the overall structure during the stress process. A limiting block 209 is also provided at the end of the inner guide rod 207. The outer diameter of the limiting block 209 is larger than the diameter of the inner through hole of the through seat 208, which can play a reliable limiting role during the operation of the structure, effectively preventing the inner guide rod 207 from falling out of the through hole of the through seat 208, and further improving the operational reliability of the device. A support column 210 is provided at the bottom of the device. The lower end of the support column 210 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 211. The fixed base plate 211 can be stably attached to the installation foundation surface. Through the cooperation of the support column 210 and the fixed base plate 211, a stable bottom support can be provided for the entire device, ensuring that the device maintains structural stability during long-term use and avoiding problems such as shaking and tipping that affect the use effect. This is beneficial to significantly improving the safety and durability of the device in practical applications.
