Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline expansion joints, in particular to a multi-directional large-stroke pipeline expansion joint. Background Art

[0002] Expansion joints are also called expansion joints, expansion joints, and compensators. Expansion joints can be axially expanded and contracted within a certain range. They are used to compensate for axial displacement caused by thermal expansion and contraction during the use of pipelines, or absorb equipment vibrations to reduce the impact of equipment vibrations on pipelines, and absorb deformation of pipelines caused by earthquakes and ground subsidence, so as to ensure that pipelines will not break under various special circumstances. In the process of pipeline connection, in addition to dealing with straight-line connections, it is also necessary to consider the needs of elbow connections. Usually, elbows are used to connect two straight pipes to achieve elbow connections. However, for pipelines with expansion and contraction scenarios, existing elbows cannot adapt to the expansion and contraction of the pipeline to perform steering fine-tuning, and are prone to causing connection gaps when the pipeline expands and contracts.

[0020] A telescopic section 3 is provided on the outer tube wall of one end of the first end tube 1 facing the second end tube 2, and the inner tube wall of one end of the second end tube 2 facing the first end tube 1 includes a guide section 4 and a limit section 5 arranged in sequence, and the inner diameter of the limit section 5 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide section 4; the outer diameter of the telescopic section 3 matches the inner diameter of the guide section 4, and can be telescopically fitted in the guide section 4, and the guide section 4 has a sealing ring that seals with the telescopic section 3; the second end tube 2 is detachably connected to a limit plug 6 at one end facing the first end tube 1, and the limit plug 6 includes a circular arc-shaped plug block, the inner diameter of the plug block matches the outer diameter of the telescopic section 3, and is plugged between the limit section 5 and the telescopic section 3; the telescopic section 3 has a protruding limit block 7, and the limit block 7 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the telescopic section 3 and is located between the limit plug 6 and the guide section 4.
