Detailed Implementation
[0035] 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.
[0036] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-14 The water utilization expansion joint with a one-way check valve shown in the figure includes an inlet connecting ring 101 and an outlet connecting ring 102. A retractable bellows 103 is fixed between the inlet connecting ring 101 and the outlet connecting ring 102. An adjustment component 104 for assisting in the expansion and contraction limit is provided between the inlet connecting ring 101 and the outlet connecting ring 102. A flange 105 for assisting in the connection with the pipeline is fixed on the inlet connecting ring 101 and the outlet connecting ring 102.
[0037] It should be noted here that: the water pipe is installed and connected through the flange 105 on the inlet connecting ring 101 and the outlet connecting ring 102. After installation and connection, the pipe and water utilization expansion joint are buried directly underground according to the usage requirements, so that the water utilization expansion joint and the pipe are in a deep buried state. When the water is transported, the water enters the interior of the water utilization expansion joint through the connection and transport function of the pipe through the inlet connecting ring 101 and is discharged outward through the outlet connecting ring 102. When transported and used, the flexible connection function of the corrugated pipe 103 on the water utilization expansion joint is used to offset the deformation of the pipe caused by temperature changes, pressure fluctuations and foundation settlement, so as to ensure the safe operation of the pipe.
[0038] In addition, the adjusting component 104 is used to control the extension and retraction stroke of the expansion joint. In this application, the extension and retraction principle of the expansion joint and the operating principle of the adjusting component 104 are conventional technical means and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] Also includes:
[0040] A shielding component is disposed between the inlet connecting ring 101 and the outlet connecting ring 102 to shield and protect the bellows 103.
[0041] A one-way flow guide component is installed on the water outlet connection ring 102 for one-way flow guide of groundwater when the expansion joint is in use. The shielding component is equipped with a treatment component for filtering the water during the flow guide process.
[0042] In addition, an installation component for assisting the installation of the unidirectional flow guide component is provided on the unidirectional flow guide component, and a protective component for protecting the unidirectional flow guide component is provided on the installation component.
[0043] It should be noted that when the water-utilizing expansion joint is used in deep burial, the cooperation of the protective components, shielding components, unidirectional flow guiding components, and treatment components can guide the accumulated groundwater into the interior of the water-utilizing expansion joint, preventing the accumulation of a large amount of groundwater on the outside of the bellows 103 from affecting the use of the bellows 103, thus facilitating the normal use of the expansion joint. In addition, during the flow guiding and transportation process, the installation and protective components can reduce the resistance to the transported water flow, ensuring smoother unidirectional flow drainage, and also prevent the backflow of high-pressure water from directly impacting the interior of the one-way check valve 402 and causing damage to the internal valve core components, thus facilitating the stable use of the one-way check valve 402.
[0044] Preferably, the shielding assembly includes a first mounting ring 201 fixed to the outside of the inlet connecting ring 101, a second mounting ring 202 fixed to the outside of the outlet connecting ring 102, and a protective cover 203 for shielding and protecting the bellows 103 is provided between the first mounting ring 201 and the second mounting ring 202. The protective cover 203 is sleeved on the outside of the bellows 103, and one end of the protective cover 203 is fixed to the second mounting ring 202.
[0045] It should be noted that when the water-utilizing expansion joint is used in deep burial, the corrugated pipe 103 is shielded and protected by the protective cover 203 between the first mounting ring 201 and the second mounting ring 202, so as to prevent the corrugated pipe 103 on the water-utilizing expansion joint from being directly exposed to the external soil and being squeezed and damaged.
[0046] Preferably, the one-way flow guide assembly includes a threaded hole 401 opened on the outlet connecting ring 102. A one-way check valve 402 is detachably installed on the threaded hole 401 by means of threads. The conduction direction of the one-way check valve 402 is from the inside of the protective cover 203 to the inside of the outlet connecting ring 102. The one-way check valve 402 includes a valve stem seat 4021 and an outlet pipe 4022 for guiding the water out. The valve stem seat 4021 is connected to the threaded hole 401 by threads. The outlet pipe 4022 is arranged perpendicular to the valve stem seat 4021. Under the action of the mounting assembly, the outlet pipe 4022 on the one-way check valve 402 is consistent with the water flow direction inside the outlet connecting ring 102.
[0047] It should be noted here that as groundwater enters between the protective cover 203 and the bellows 103, when the pressure of the accumulated water exceeds the set opening pressure of the one-way check valve 402, the one-way check valve 402 opens, and the groundwater accumulated between the protective cover 203 and the bellows 103 is guided to the interior of the water utilization expansion joint through the one-way check valve 402. This prevents a large amount of groundwater from accumulating on the outside of the bellows 103 from affecting the use of the bellows 103, and facilitates the normal use of the expansion joint.
[0048] Furthermore, the one-way flow principle of the one-way check valve 402 and the setting of the opening pressure on the one-way check valve 402 are conventional technical means in this application and will not be elaborated on here.
[0049] Preferably, the installation assembly includes an annular seat 501 sleeved on the outside of the outlet pipe 4022, a positioning component for assisting the positioning of the annular seat 501 between the annular seat 501 and the valve stem seat 4021, a limiting component for limiting the positioning after positioning between the annular seat 501 and the outlet pipe 4022, a pin 502 on the outside of the annular seat 501, a first telescopic component for assisting telescopic connection between the pin 502 and the annular seat 501, and a limiting hole 503 for inserting one end of the pin 502 into the limiting hole on the inner side of the outlet connecting ring 102, the limiting hole 503 and the threaded hole 401 being arranged parallel to each other in the axial direction of the outlet connecting ring 102;
[0050] It should be noted here that: when installing the one-way check valve 402 onto the outlet connecting ring 102, during the installation process, one end of the valve stem seat 4021 is screwed into the threaded hole 401. During this screwing process, as the valve stem seat 4021 rotates, it causes the pin 502 of the annular seat 501 on the outlet pipe 4022 to rotate around the valve stem seat 4021 and move towards the inner wall of the outlet connecting ring 102. During this movement, the front end of the pin 502 abuts against the inner wall of the outlet connecting ring 102, pushing the pin 502 towards the outlet connecting ring 102. The internal contraction movement of the cylinder 601 causes the first spring 602 to deform under force and generate elastic force. As the valve stem seat 4021 continues to rotate and screw in, when the front end of the pin 502 is in front of the limiting hole 503, the elastic force of the first spring 602 pushes the front end of the pin 502 into the interior of the limiting hole 503. Through the insertion and limiting effect of the pin 502 and the limiting hole 503, the one-way check valve 402 is positioned during the screwing-in installation process. Through the positioning effect, the water outlet pipe 4022 on the one-way check valve 402 is parallel to the direction of water flow inside the water expansion joint.
[0051] Preferably, the first telescopic component includes a mounting cylinder 601 fixed to the outside of the annular seat 501, one end of the pin 502 is located inside the mounting cylinder 601 and slidably connected to the mounting cylinder 601, and a first spring 602 for mounting and connecting the pin 502 is installed inside the mounting cylinder 601.
[0052] It should be noted here that the mounting cylinder 601 and the first spring 602 facilitate the telescopic connection of the pin 502 and its reset after telescopic movement.
[0053] Preferably, the protective component includes a baffle plate 901 located on the front side of the outlet pipe 4022 to protect the outlet pipe 4022 from backflow inside the outlet connection ring 102. A conical cylinder 902 for auxiliary transmission is fixed on the baffle plate 901. A second telescopic component for auxiliary telescopic connection is provided between the baffle plate 901 and the annular seat 501.
[0054] It should be noted that: In addition, when the pipeline and expansion joint are in use, the water hammer phenomenon will occur inside the pipeline due to the start and stop of the water supply. This causes the supplied water to be pressurized and flow back. During the backflow process, the interaction between the backflowing water and the conical cylinder 902 pushes the baffle plate 901 toward the outlet pipe 4022 and blocks it. Through the blocking effect of the baffle plate 901 and the outlet pipe 4022, the high-pressure backflowing water is prevented from directly impacting the inside of the one-way check valve 402 and causing damage to the internal valve core components, thus facilitating the stable use of the one-way check valve 402.
[0055] Preferably, the second telescopic component includes two sets of T-shaped rods 1001 slidably connected to the annular seat 501, and the two sets of T-shaped rods 1001 are arranged symmetrically. One end of the T-shaped rod 1001 is fixed to the baffle plate 901, and a second spring 1002 is sleeved on the outside of the T-shaped rod 1001.
[0056] It should be noted that the two sets of T-shaped rods 1001 facilitate the telescopic connection of the baffle plate 901, and the second spring 1002 facilitates the reset of the baffle plate 901 after movement.
[0057] Preferably, the positioning component includes side plates 701 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the annular seat 501, and two sets of positioning rods 702 symmetrically fixed on the side plates 701 for positioning against the outer side of the valve stem seat 4021; the limiting component includes multiple sets of T-shaped screw holes 801 opened on the annular seat 501, and the multiple sets of T-shaped screw holes 801 are arranged in a ring array on the annular seat 501, and T-shaped bolts 802 are threaded on the T-shaped screw holes 801, and one end of each set of T-shaped bolts 802 abuts against the outer side of the water outlet pipe 4022;
[0058] It should be noted here that: when the annular seat 501 is fitted onto the outlet pipe 4022 of the one-way check valve 402, during the fitting process, the ends of the two sets of positioning rods 702 on the two sets of side plates 701 abut against the outer side of the valve stem seat 4021 on the one-way check valve 402. Through the abutting and pressing action of the four sets of symmetrically arranged positioning rods 702, the fitted annular seat 501 is positioned, so that the pin 502 on the outer side of the annular seat 501 is parallel to the valve stem seat 4021. After the annular seat 501 is positioned, each set of T-bolts 802 is screwed into each set of T-bolt holes 801 and abuts against the outer wall of the outlet pipe 4022. Through the abutting and pressing action, the positioned and installed annular seat 501 is limited.
[0059] Preferably, the processing component includes a first fixing ring 301 and a second fixing ring 302 disposed between the first mounting ring 201 and the second mounting ring 202. The first fixing ring 301 and the second fixing ring 302 are located inside the protective cover 203. The first fixing ring 301 is fixed to the first mounting ring 201, and the second fixing ring 302 is disposed against the inner wall of the protective cover 203. Multiple sets of baffles 303 for filtering water entering the protective cover 203 are fixed in a ring array between the first fixing ring 301 and the second fixing ring 302.
[0060] It should be noted that when the protective cover 203 is in use, the water inside the soil will enter the protective cover 203 and the outer side of the corrugated pipe 103 through the gap between the protective cover 203 and the first mounting ring 201. During the water transportation process, the multiple sets of baffles 303 between the first fixing ring 301 and the second fixing ring 302 isolate and filter the particulate foreign matter in the water, so as to avoid a large number of particulate foreign matter entering and affecting the corrugated pipe 103 and the subsequent normal unidirectional flow.
[0061] In this solution: a water utilization expansion joint with a one-way check valve includes the following steps:
[0062] Before using the water expansion joint, an annular seat 501 is pre-installed on the one-way check valve 402. During the installation of the annular seat 501, it is fitted onto the outlet pipe 4022 of the one-way check valve 402. During this fitting process, the ends of the two sets of positioning rods 702 on the two sets of side plates 701 abut against the outer side of the valve stem seat 4021 on the one-way check valve 402. Through the abutting and pressing action of the four sets of symmetrically arranged positioning rods 702, the fitted annular seat 501 is positioned (see...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 The pin 502 on the outside of the annular seat 501 is parallel to the valve stem seat 4021. After the annular seat 501 is positioned, each set of T-bolts 802 is screwed into each set of T-bolt holes 801 and abuts against the outer wall of the outlet pipe 4022. Through the abutting and squeezing action, the annular seat 501 is limited after positioning and installation. During the positioning and fixing of the annular seat 501, the baffle plate 901 is at the front end of the outlet pipe 4022 and there is a gap to facilitate subsequent one-way drainage. After the annular seat 501 is positioned and fixed, the one-way check valve 402 is installed on the outlet connecting ring 102. During the installation of the one-way check valve 402, one end of the valve stem seat 4021 is screwed into the threaded hole 401 by means of threads (see...). Figure 13(The direction of screwing in), during the screwing process, as the valve stem seat 4021 rotates, it drives the pin 502 of the annular seat 501 on the outlet pipe 4022 to rotate around the valve stem seat 4021 and move towards the inner wall of the outlet connecting ring 102. During the movement, the front end of the pin 502 abuts against the inner wall of the outlet connecting ring 102, pushing the pin 502 to contract towards the interior of the mounting cylinder 601 and causing the first spring 602 to deform and generate elastic force. As the valve stem seat 4021 continues to rotate and screw in, when the front end of the pin 502 is in front of the limiting hole 503, the elastic force of the first spring 602 pushes the front end of the pin 502 into the interior of the limiting hole 503 (see...). Figure 6 (In the state), the one-way check valve 402 is positioned during the screwing-in installation process by the insertion and limiting action of the pin 502 and the limiting hole 503. Through the positioning action, the water outlet pipe 4022 on the one-way check valve 402 is parallel to the direction of water flow inside the expansion joint (see...). Figure 11 During the installation of the one-way check valve 402, both ends of the one-way check valve 402 are connected to the inside of the protective cover 203 and the inside of the outlet connection ring 102, respectively, with the direction of conduction being from the inside of the protective cover 203 to the inside of the outlet connection ring 102.
[0063] After the one-way check valve 402 and the annular seat 501 are installed, they are connected to the water pipeline through the flanges 105 on the inlet connecting ring 101 and the outlet connecting ring 102. After installation and connection, the pipeline and the water utilization expansion joint are buried directly underground according to the usage requirements, so that the water utilization expansion joint and the pipeline are in a deep buried state. When the water is transported, the water enters the interior of the water utilization expansion joint through the connection and transport function of the pipeline and is discharged outward through the outlet connecting ring 102. When transported and used, the flexible connection function of the corrugated pipe 103 on the water utilization expansion joint is used to offset the deformation of the pipeline caused by temperature changes, pressure fluctuations and foundation settlement, so as to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline.
[0064] When the water-utilizing expansion joint is used in deep burial, the corrugated pipe 103 is protected by the protective cover 203 between the first mounting ring 201 and the second mounting ring 202. This prevents the corrugated pipe 103 from directly contacting the external soil and being squeezed and damaged during deep burial. When protected by the protective cover 203, water present in the soil will enter through the gap between the protective cover 203 and the first mounting ring 201 to the outside of the protective cover 203 and the corrugated pipe 103. During water transport, the water is then transported through the first fixing ring 301 and... Multiple sets of baffles 303 between the second fixed rings 302 isolate and filter particulate foreign matter in the water, preventing a large amount of particulate foreign matter from entering and affecting the bellows 103 and subsequent normal unidirectional flow. As the groundwater enters between the protective cover 203 and the bellows 103, when the pressure of the accumulated water exceeds the set opening pressure of the one-way check valve 402, the one-way check valve 402 opens, guiding the groundwater accumulated between the protective cover 203 and the bellows 103 into the interior of the water utilization expansion joint (see...). Figure 4 The direction of water flow is determined to avoid the accumulation of a large amount of groundwater on the outside of the bellows 103, which could affect the use of the bellows 103 and facilitate the normal use of the expansion joint. In addition, during the process of water flow transportation inside the expansion joint and water flow transportation of accumulated groundwater, the positioning of the one-way check valve 402 during installation (the outlet pipe 4022 on the one-way check valve 402 is parallel to the direction of water flow inside the expansion joint) reduces the resistance of the one-way check valve 402 to the water flow and allows the one-way check valve 402 to more smoothly guide and discharge liquid in one direction.
[0065] Additionally, during the use of pipes and expansion joints, the start-stop operation of the water supply inside the pipes can cause water hammer, resulting in pressurized water that flows backward (see...). Figure 12 In the backflow process, the interaction between the backflowing water and the conical cylinder 902 pushes the baffle plate 901 toward the outlet pipe 4022 and abuts against it. Through the blocking effect of the baffle plate 901 and the outlet pipe 4022, the high-pressure backflowing water is prevented from directly impacting the interior of the one-way check valve 402 and causing damage to the internal valve core components, thus facilitating the stable use of the one-way check valve 402.
