Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flanges, specifically a high-sealing flange with an inner sealing groove. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of pipeline connections, flange connection is a common and important connection method, widely used in various fluid transportation systems. Traditional flange connection structures typically consist only of flanges and bolts. The flanges are fitted onto the ends of the pipes and the two flanges are connected and fixed by bolts to achieve pipe docking.
[0003] However, this traditional flange connection structure has many drawbacks. Firstly, its sealing performance is limited. During long-term use, leaks are prone to occur due to pressure and temperature changes in the fluid within the pipeline, as well as external environmental factors. This not only wastes fluid but may also pollute the surrounding environment and even cause safety accidents. Secondly, the connection between the flange and the pipeline, especially the welded joints, is susceptible to corrosion from the fluid. This corrosion is particularly acute when the fluid being transported is corrosive, accelerating the corrosion rate, reducing the service life of the flange connection structure, and increasing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. Furthermore, the inner ring of traditional flanges lacks effective protective measures and has poor corrosion resistance, further affecting the reliability and stability of the entire flange connection structure.
[0004] Therefore, developing a flange connection structure with high sealing performance and good corrosion resistance is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-sealing flange with an inner sealing groove to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

One end of the corrosion-resistant rubber cover is fitted onto the pipe body, and the corrosion-resistant rubber cover covers the welding point between the flange and the pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the inner ring of the flange is provided with an inner lining groove, which is an annular groove. The outer ring of the inner lining plate is fixed in the inner lining groove. The inner ring diameter of the inner lining plate is equal to the inner ring diameter of the pipe. After the bolts connect the two flanges, the inner lining plates between the two flanges are clamped together.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the inner lining plate is provided with an insert groove, the insert groove is annular, and a sealing ring is fixed inside the insert groove, the thickness of the sealing ring being greater than the depth of the insert groove.
[0009] Preferably, the outer ring surface of the inner lining plug tube is provided with multiple reserved grooves, which are annular grooves. A second sealing ring is fixed inside the reserved groove. The outer ring diameter of the second sealing ring is larger than the inner ring diameter of the pipe. The second sealing ring is clamped between the inner lining plug tube and the pipe and undergoes elastic deformation.
[0010] Preferably, the receiving groove is an annular groove with an "L" shaped break. One end of the corrosion-resistant rubber cover is fixed with a rubber ring. After the corrosion-resistant rubber cover is pulled out of the receiving groove, the rubber ring is expanded and springs back and is fitted into the second slot. The second slot is opened on the outer ring surface of the pipe.
[0011] Preferably, a retaining groove is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the storage groove. The retaining groove is an annular groove. After the corrosion-resistant rubber cover is inserted into the storage groove, the rubber ring is expanded and springs back into the retaining groove.
[0012] Preferably, a rubber sealing sheet is fixed at the outer ring surface of the groove opening of the storage slot. The rubber sealing sheet has an annular plate structure, and the inner ring diameter of the rubber sealing sheet is equal to the inner ring diameter of the groove opening of the storage slot. The inner ring opening of the rubber sealing sheet is fitted onto the inner ring surface of the groove opening of the storage slot.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The high-sealing flange with an inner lining sealing groove proposed in this invention significantly improves sealing performance through a multi-seal design. An embedding groove is created on the surface of the inner lining plate, and a sealing ring is fixed therein. When the two flanges are fixed together by bolts, the two sealing rings are clamped between the two inner lining plates, forming the first line of defense for sealing and effectively preventing fluid leakage from the connection between the flanges.
[0014] Multiple pre-reserved grooves are opened on the outer ring surface of the inner lining plug and a second fixed sealing ring is fitted. When the flange is fitted and welded to the end of the pipe, the second sealing ring is clamped between the inner lining plug and the pipe and undergoes elastic deformation, forming a second sealing defense line, which further enhances the sealing effect and ensures the sealing reliability of the flange connection structure under various working conditions.

[0019] The inner lining plate 103 is pre-fixed in the inner lining groove 102. When it is necessary to weld the flange 1 to the end of the pipe 2, the end of the pipe 2 is inserted between the inner ring of the flange 1 and the inner lining plug tube 104. After the end of the pipe 2 abuts against one side of the inner lining plate 103, the annular gap at the fitting point of the flange 1 and the pipe 2 is welded. The sealing ring 2 5 is clamped between the inner lining plug tube 104 and the pipe 2 to play a sealing role. After the two flanges 1 are brought together, they are connected and fixed by bolts 3. After the bolts 3 are tightened, the two sealing rings 1 4 between the two flanges 1 are clamped between the two inner lining plates 103 to play a sealing role. The inner lining plate 103 and the inner lining plug tube 104 are located at the inner ring of the flange 1 to improve the corrosion resistance of the inner ring of the flange 1.
[0020] To protect the weld joint between flange 1 and pipe 2, the following measures were proposed: A receiving groove 107 is formed on the surface of flange 1. A corrosion-resistant rubber cover 6 is fixed inside the receiving groove 107.
