Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe fittings, and more specifically to a ship pipe fitting and its rotating support. Background Technology

[0002] In critical systems such as hydraulic transmission, fire protection, and fuel delivery on ships, hoses, with their flexibility, vibration absorption, and installation flexibility, have become core components in complex pipeline layouts and are widely used in various surface ships and underwater equipment. Metal pipe joints, as the core hub for hose connections, directly affect the overall reliability of ship systems.

[0003] With the deep penetration of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and unmanned systems into the maritime field, ship equipment is accelerating its iterative upgrade towards informatization and intelligence, and functional equipment is often required to be installed at pipeline joints.

[0004] Traditional hoses are flexible and free, and their position is easily affected by factors such as internal medium pressure fluctuations, external equipment vibrations, thermal expansion and contraction, and human touch, resulting in unexpected shaking. This leads to the unfixed position of the equipment installed at the pipe joint, making it inconvenient for personnel to operate and use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of inconvenience caused by the non-fixed position of the equipment installed at the rotary joint in the prior art, and to provide a ship pipeline joint and its rotary support, which has the function of facilitating the use of the installed equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a rotating bracket for a ship's pipeline joint, comprising: Fixed flange, the fixed flange comprising: The first ring is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the interface end of the metal tube and connected and fixed to one end of the energized tube. The second ring is sleeved on the outside of the metal tube and is located on the side of the first ring away from the fixed flange interface end; A swivel ring is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the fixed flange and is detachably connected to the fixed flange. The mounting plate, connected to the outer wall of the swivel ring via a connecting rod, is used to mount the equipment.

[0007] Optionally, the end of the energized tube is provided with multiple sets of fixing posts, and each set of fixing posts has a fixing groove at one end near the first ring. The first ring is provided with multiple sets of limiting posts that cooperate with and are fixed in the corresponding fixing grooves on one side near the fixing posts.

[0008] Optionally, the outer diameter of the first ring is larger than the outer diameter of the second ring, and the outer diameter of the first ring is the same as the outer diameter of the rotating ring.

[0009] Optionally, the fixed flange further includes a cover plate, the cover plate being annular and fitting against the side of the swivel ring away from the first annular ring.

[0010] Optionally, a clamp is fitted on the outside of the metal tube, and the end of the clamp abuts against the side of the cover plate away from the swivel.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes: Multiple sets of insertion holes are circumferentially formed on the outer side of the second ring; Multiple sets of threaded holes are circumferentially formed on the swivel ring; Multiple sets of pins are used to thread through the corresponding threaded holes and extend into the corresponding insertion holes to fix the swivel.

[0012] Optionally, the pin may include a spring pin.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes: Multiple sets of first fixing holes are circumferentially formed on the side wall of the rotating ring; Multiple sets of second fixing holes are circumferentially formed on the first ring; Multiple sets of ball-head plungers, which pass through the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole in sequence, and are threadedly connected to the first fixing hole.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a ship piping connector, comprising: Metal pipe; The energized tube has one end for connecting to the metal tube and the other end for connecting to a quick connector; The rotating bracket as described above is sleeved on the interface end where the metal tube connects to the power-conducting tube.

[0015] Optionally, an electrical control box is provided on the side wall of the energized pipe, and the rotating bracket is connected and fixed to the electrical control box.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the present invention provides a ship pipeline connector and its rotating bracket. A first ring and a second ring form a fixed flange, which is fitted onto the interface end of the metal pipe. A rotating ring is then fitted onto the outside of the fixed flange and detachably connected to it. Therefore, the rotating ring can rotate circumferentially on the fixed flange. Mounting the installation equipment on the mounting plate allows for circumferential adjustment of the equipment's position on the outside of the fixed flange. This ensures that even when unexpected swaying occurs in hoses or other components, the equipment can still be adjusted to a position convenient for manual operation via the rotating ring. The detachable rotation of the rotating ring relative to the fixed flange, allowing adjustment of the relative position of the mounting plate and the installation equipment, facilitates easy adjustment of the equipment's position and enhances ease of operation.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a ship pipeline connector and its rotating support according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the central clamp 10 of a ship's pipeline connector and its rotating support according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 2 In this context, the rotating support of the ship's pipeline joint may include a fixed flange 3, a swivel ring 4, and a mounting plate 6. Specifically, the fixed flange 3 includes a first ring 1 and a second ring 2.

[0021] The first ring 1 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the interface end of the metal pipe 17 and is connected and fixed to one end of the energized pipe 18. The second ring 2 is sleeved on the outside of the metal pipe 17 and is located on the side of the first ring 1 away from the interface end of the fixed flange 3. The swivel ring 4 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the fixed flange 3 and is detachably connected to the fixed flange 3. The mounting plate 6 is connected to the outer wall of the swivel ring 4 through the connecting rod 5, and the mounting plate 6 is used to install equipment.

[0022] Before assembling the installation equipment on the mounting plate 6, first fix the fixing flange 3 onto the interface end of the metal pipe 17, and then detachably fit the rotating ring 4 onto the outside of the fixing flange 3, and detachably connect it. Specifically, the rotating ring 4 is fitted onto the outside of the second ring 2, and is detachably connected to both the first ring 1 and the second ring 2. When the rotating ring 4 is disconnected from the first ring 1 and the second ring 2, the rotating ring 4 can rotate along the second ring 2. Further, after the rotating ring 4 adjusts the mounting plate 6 to a position that is easy to operate, fix the rotating ring 4, and then the installation equipment can be assembled on the mounting plate 6 for easy operation by the operator. When it is necessary to adjust the operating position of the installation equipment, remove the rotating ring 4 from the first ring 1 and the second ring 2, and rotate it along the second ring 2. When the installation equipment has rotated to a position that is easy to operate, fix the rotating ring 4 to the first ring 1 and the second ring 2.

[0023] Traditional flexible hoses are characterized by their flexibility and freedom of movement. Their position is easily affected by factors such as internal medium pressure fluctuations, external equipment vibrations, thermal expansion and contraction, and human contact, resulting in unexpected swaying. This leads to inconsistent positioning of equipment installed at pipe joints, making operation inconvenient. In one embodiment of the present invention, a detachable rotating ring 4 relative to the fixed flange 3 is used to adjust the relative position of the mounting plate 6 and the installed equipment. This facilitates the adjustment of the installed equipment's position and improves ease of operation.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the energized tube 18 is provided with multiple sets of fixing posts 7. Each set of fixing posts 7 has a fixing groove at one end near the first ring 1. The side of the first ring 1 near the fixing posts 7 is provided with multiple sets of limiting posts 8 that cooperate with the corresponding fixing grooves for locking and fixing.

[0025] During the installation of the fixed flange 3, the multiple sets of limiting posts 8 on the first ring 1 are aligned with the fixing grooves on the corresponding fixing posts 7 at the end of the energized pipe 18, so that the limiting posts 8 are inserted into the fixing grooves to form a snap-fit, thereby achieving axial fixation between the first ring 1 and the energized pipe 18, improving the connection strength, preventing relative rotation or loosening during use, and enhancing the overall stability of the pipe joint. Specifically, the energized pipe 18 is threaded to the interface end of the metal end for connection.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer diameter of the first ring 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the second ring 2, and the outer diameter of the first ring 1 is the same as the outer diameter of the rotating ring 4.

[0027] When the swivel ring 4 is fitted onto the outside of the second ring 2, the inner wall of the swivel ring 4 rotatably engages with the outer wall of the second ring 2, which constrains the radial position of the swivel ring 4. This ensures that the swivel ring 4 does not wobble or eccentrically during rotation after disassembly, improving the structural compactness and stability. The outer diameter of the first ring 1 is the same as the outer diameter of the swivel ring 4, allowing the swivel ring 4 to fit snugly against the side wall of the fixed flange 3 after installation. This facilitates the installation of the swivel ring 4, improves installation reliability, and ensures structural stability.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixed flange 3 may also include a cover plate 9, which is annular and fits against the side of the rotating ring 4 away from the first ring 1.

[0029] After the rotating ring 4 is fitted onto the outside of the fixed flange 3 / second ring 2, the cover plate 9 is fitted and fixed to the side of the rotating ring 4 away from the first ring 1. This allows it to cooperate with the first ring 1 to axially limit the rotating ring 4, preventing it from shaking, deforming, or loosening. At the same time, it can also seal the gap on the outside of the rotating ring 4, preventing impurities from the ship from entering the turntable and the interior of the fixed flange 3, thus avoiding jamming or wear caused by impurities, and ensuring that the rotating ring 4 can rotate smoothly and reliably for a long time.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a clamp 10 is fitted on the outside of the metal tube 17, and the end of the clamp 10 abuts against the side of the cover plate 9 away from the rotating ring 4.

[0031] The clamp 10 is fitted onto the outside of the metal pipe 17 to clamp and fix it, effectively protecting the metal pipe 17. At the same time, the clamp 10 abuts against the cover plate 9, providing axial pressure, realizing axial limiting and fixing of the swivel ring 4, further preventing the swivel ring 4 from shaking, deforming or loosening, and further improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotating bracket may also include multiple sets of insertion holes 11, multiple sets of threaded holes 12, and multiple sets of pins 13.

[0033] Multiple sets of insertion holes 11 are circumferentially formed on the outer side of the second ring 2, and multiple sets of threaded holes 12 are circumferentially formed on the rotating ring 4. Multiple sets of pins 13 are used to thread through the corresponding threaded holes 12 and extend into the corresponding insertion holes 11 to fix the rotating ring 4.

[0034] After fitting the rotating ring 4 onto the outside of the second ring 2, align the multiple sets of threaded holes 12 and multiple sets of insertion holes 11, and screw the pin 13 in along the threaded hole 12, gradually entering the interior of the corresponding insertion hole 11, thus completing the fixed connection between the rotating ring 4 and the second ring 2. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating ring 4, rotate the pin 13 in the opposite direction so that the pin 13 can be screwed out along the threaded hole 12. Furthermore, the end of the pin 13 gradually moves out from the insertion hole 11 and the threaded hole 12 to disassemble the rotating ring 4. After disassembly, the rotating ring 4 can rotate circumferentially on the second ring 2. When it rotates to the required angle / position, align the multiple sets of threaded holes 12 with the nearest multiple sets of insertion holes 11, and screw in the pin 13 to position the rotating ring 4, preventing it from rotating during use. This ensures stable and reliable angle adjustment of the installed equipment, while also making disassembly and assembly simple and quick.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the pin 13 may include a spring pin. Specifically, the spring pin includes a hollow column, a telescopic column, and a spring. The outer wall of the hollow column is provided with a threaded strip that is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 12. The telescopic column moves through the hollow column. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic column and located inside the hollow column. One end of the spring is connected to the side wall of the telescopic column, and the other end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the hollow column. When it is necessary to drive the rotating ring 4 to rotate, the end of the spring pin / telescopic column can be pulled outward to retract the part of the telescopic column located in the insertion hole 11, and the spring can be squeezed to release the lock between the rotating ring 4 and the second ring 2 plate. After rotating to the required angle, align the threaded hole 12 with the nearest insertion hole 11, release the end of the pin 13 / telescopic column, and the squeezed spring pushes the telescopic column to automatically spring into the corresponding insertion hole 11 to complete the locking of the rotating ring 4. This structure allows for quick unlocking and securing of the rotating ring 4, making operation more convenient and efficient. It also prevents the pin 13 from coming loose when the ship is rocking, thus improving stability.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotating bracket also includes multiple sets of first fixing holes 14, multiple sets of second fixing holes 15, and multiple sets of ball-head plungers 16.

[0037] Multiple sets of first fixing holes 14 are circumferentially formed on the side wall of the rotating ring 4, and multiple sets of second fixing holes 15 are circumferentially formed on the first ring 1. The ball-head plunger 16 passes through the first fixing holes 14 and the second fixing holes 15 in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the first fixing hole 14.

[0038] By engaging the elastic ball head of the ball plunger 16 with the second fixing hole 15, rotational damping is generated when the rotating ring 4 rotates, and the rotating ring 4 rotates under a certain degree of rotational damping. Until the ball plunger 16 rotates into the next adjacent second fixing hole 15, the elastic ball head of the ball plunger 16 returns to its original position in that second fixing hole 15 and engages, thus positioning the rotating ring 4. This method ensures smooth rotation adjustment, maintains angular stability without shifting under ship swaying conditions, and makes the overall positioning of the rotating ring 4 accurate and reliable.

[0039] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a ship piping connector. Specifically, the ship piping may include a metal pipe 17, an electrical conduit 18, and a rotating bracket. Specifically, the rotating bracket of the ship piping connector may include a fixed flange 3, a swivel ring 4, and a mounting plate 6. Specifically, the fixed flange 3 includes a first ring 1 and a second ring 2.

[0040] One end of the energized conduit 18 is used to connect to the metal pipe 17, and the other end of the energized conduit 18 is used to connect to the quick connector 19. A rotating bracket is sleeved on the interface end where the metal pipe 17 and the energized conduit 18 connect. A first ring 1 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the interface end of the metal pipe 17 and is fixedly connected to one end of the energized conduit 18. A second ring 2 is sleeved on the outside of the metal pipe 17 and is located on the side of the first ring 1 away from the interface end of the fixed flange 3. A rotating ring 4 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the fixed flange 3 and is detachably connected to the fixed flange 3. A mounting plate 6 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 4 through a connecting rod 5, and the mounting plate 6 is used to install equipment.

[0041] Before assembling the installation equipment on the mounting plate 6, first fix the fixing flange 3 onto the interface end of the metal pipe 17, and then detachably fit the rotating ring 4 onto the outside of the fixing flange 3, and detachably connect it. Specifically, the rotating ring 4 is fitted onto the outside of the second ring 2, and is detachably connected to both the first ring 1 and the second ring 2. When the rotating ring 4 is disconnected from the first ring 1 and the second ring 2, the rotating ring 4 can rotate along the second ring 2. Further, after the rotating ring 4 adjusts the mounting plate 6 to a position that is easy to operate, fix the rotating ring 4, and then the installation equipment can be assembled on the mounting plate 6 for easy operation by the operator. When it is necessary to adjust the operating position of the installation equipment, remove the rotating ring 4 from the first ring 1 and the second ring 2, and rotate it along the second ring 2. When the installation equipment has rotated to a position that is easy to operate, fix the rotating ring 4 to the first ring 1 and the second ring 2.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 2As shown, an electrical control box 20 is installed on the side wall of the energized conduit 18, and the rotating bracket is connected and fixed to the electrical control box 20. Directly connecting the rotating bracket to the electrical control box 20 makes the overall installation position of the bracket more stable. At the same time, it can shorten the wiring, simplify the wiring route, improve the integration of the conduit joints, and facilitate the installation and later maintenance of the conduit joints.

[0043] Through the above technical solution, the present invention provides a ship pipeline connector and its rotating bracket. A first ring 1 and a second ring 2 form a fixed flange 3, which is fitted onto the interface end of a metal pipe 17. A rotating ring 4 is then fitted onto the outside of the fixed flange 3 and is detachably connected to it. Therefore, the rotating ring 4 can rotate circumferentially on the fixed flange 3. Installing the installation equipment on the mounting plate 6 allows for circumferential adjustment of the equipment's position on the outside of the fixed flange 3. This ensures that even when unexpected shaking occurs in hoses or other components, the rotating ring 4 can still be used to adjust the installation equipment to a position convenient for manual operation. The detachable rotation of the rotating ring 4 relative to the fixed flange 3, allowing adjustment of the relative position of the mounting plate 6 and the installation equipment, facilitates the adjustment of the installation equipment's position and makes it convenient for personnel to operate.
