Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydropower station installation, in particular to a pipeline compensator. Background Art

[0002] Generators, transformers, GIS, GIL, IPB and other equipment are equipped with a large number of pipe compensators of different models and specifications. Pipe compensators are elastic. When maintaining these compensators, they need to be pried with tools such as crowbars. The crowbar pries between the flange of the pipe compensator and the flange of the main pipeline, compresses the pipe compensator, and separates the flange of the pipe compensator from the flange of the main pipeline, so as to replace the compensator or replace the compensator seal. Using a crowbar for operation is not efficient and is prone to damage the flange end face and sealing ring.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, the inventor retrieved Chinese patent document CN 216413850 U, announcement date: 2022.04.29, which discloses a bellows expansion joint for a pipeline busbar. Any two adjacent nut structures on the circumference of the bellows body are connected by a synchronous transmission structure to achieve synchronous rotation of all nut structures. When each nut structure rotates forward synchronously, each nut structure moves to the right synchronously to compress the bellows body synchronously; when each nut structure rotates reversely synchronously, each nut structure moves to the left to release the bellows body synchronously. Although this solution can compress the bellows body, its structure is relatively complex, with more added parts and higher cost of use. For this reason, the inventor designed a pipeline compensator with a simpler structure. Utility Model Content
