[0002] Reducer flanges, also known as reducing flanges, have an inner diameter that is different from that of standard flanges. They are usually used to solve the problem that standard flanges cannot be matched with pipe fittings and pipelines in engineering. They are widely used in industrial production, semiconductor manufacturing, and food processing.
[0003] The existing reducer flange is mainly composed of the following parts: flange, pipe, bolt, sealing gasket. The working principle is: when connecting two pipes of different diameters, the reducer flange achieves a smooth transition between the two pipes through the reducer inside it. At the same time, the two flanges are tightly fitted through the tightening action of the bolts, and the gap between the flanges is filled with a sealing gasket, thereby achieving the sealing of the pipeline system.
[0004] The reducer flange in the existing technology has the following disadvantages: in industrial sewage wastewater pipelines that are prone to clogging, a large amount of solid particles, sediments or other impurities flow in the pipeline, causing pipeline clogging, especially when the fluid in a small-diameter pipeline enters a large-diameter pipeline through a reducer flange, the flow rate of the fluid will decrease. The decrease in flow rate causes impurities to easily accumulate in the reducer flange, causing pipeline clogging; therefore, a reducer flange is proposed to address the above problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to make up for the shortcomings of existing reducer flanges, a reducer flange is proposed to solve the problem that in industrial sewage wastewater pipelines that are prone to clogging, a large number of solid particles, sediments or other impurities flow in the pipelines, causing pipeline clogging, especially when the fluid in a small-diameter pipeline enters a large-diameter pipeline through a reducer flange, the flow rate of the fluid will decrease. The reduction in flow rate causes impurities to easily accumulate in the reducer flange, causing pipeline clogging.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a variable-diameter flange described in the utility model comprises a flange pipe, a large flange and a small flange are fixedly arranged at both ends of the flange pipe respectively, the inner wall of the interior of the flange pipe close to the large flange is a large-diameter space, the inner wall of the interior of the flange pipe close to the small flange is a small-diameter space, a fixing ring is fixedly arranged inside the large-diameter space, a plurality of fixed blades are fixedly arranged in an annular array on the fixing ring, a rotating ring is rotatably arranged on the fixing ring through a bearing, a plurality of moving blades are fixedly arranged in an annular array inside the rotating ring, the moving blades are fitted with the opposite surfaces of the fixed blades, the direction of the moving blades is inclined, and the moving blades are rotated when the fluid flows, a rotating rod is fixedly arranged at the central axis position of the moving blade, and a scraping member is fixedly arranged on the rotating rod.
[0007] Preferably, the scraping member comprises a connecting rod, a shell is fixedly provided at one end of the connecting rod, an insertion rod is slidably provided inside the shell, a spring is fixedly provided between the insertion rod and the inner wall of the shell, and a scraper is fixedly provided at one end of the insertion rod.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of assembly holes are fixedly provided on the large flange and the small flange.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0012] The utility model provides a reducer flange, in which a fluid flows, and at the same time, the fluid flows through the reducer flange with various impurities, and the flow of the fluid drives the movable blade to rotate, and the movable blade cooperates with the fixed blade to effectively cut or break solid particles, sediments, fibers, tree roots, grease and other easily blocked objects in the pipeline, ensuring that the fluid in the pipeline can flow smoothly, and no external power drive is required to save energy;
[0013] When the fluid flows to the large diameter space, the flow rate is low, and impurities are easily accumulated on the inner wall of the large diameter space, which will cause blockage and corrosion problems over time, affecting the normal use of the reducer flange. When the movable blade rotates, the scraping component is driven to rotate through the rotating rod, so that the scraper scrapes off the impurities accumulated on the inner wall of the large diameter space to prevent their accumulation. With the cooperation of the spring, the inserted rod pushes the scraper to always be close to the inner wall of the large diameter space. Even if it is worn, it will not affect the cleaning effect. The pointed cone-shaped scraper can scrape off the impurities on the inner wall of the large diameter space very well, thereby improving the scraping and cleaning effect.

During operation, when the reducer flange is assembled between the two butted pipes, the fluid flows in the reducer flange, and at the same time, the fluid flows through the reducer flange with various impurities. The flow of the fluid drives the movable blade 9 to rotate. The movable blade 9 cooperates with the fixed blade 7 to effectively cut or break solid particles, sediments, fibers, tree roots, grease and other easily blocked objects in the pipeline, ensuring that the fluid in the pipeline can flow smoothly, and no external power drive is required to save energy.

During operation, when the fluid flows to the large-diameter space 4, the flow rate is low, and impurities are easily accumulated on the inner wall of the large-diameter space 4, which causes blockage and corrosion problems over time, affecting the normal use of the variable-diameter flange. When the movable blade 9 rotates, the scraping member 11 is driven to rotate through the rotating rod 10, so that the scraper 115 scrapes off the impurities accumulated on the inner wall of the large-diameter space 4 to prevent them from accumulating, and with the cooperation of the spring 114, the plug rod 113 pushes the scraper 115 to always be close to the inner wall of the large-diameter space 4, and even if it is worn, it does not affect the cleaning effect.
[0024] Furthermore, the scraper 115 has a pointed cone shape on one side close to the inner wall of the large diameter space 4.

During operation, when the large flange 2 and the small flange 3 are connected to an external pipe that needs to be connected, the O-ring installed in the sealing groove 12 is located between the two flanges. When the bolts are tightened, the O-ring is compressed, thereby filling the tiny gap between the flanges to achieve a sealing effect.
[0026] Furthermore, a plurality of assembly holes 13 are fixedly opened on the large flange 2 and the small flange 3. During operation, when the reducer flange is installed, the large flange 2 and the small flange 3 are butt-jointed and fixed to the flange on the external pipe by inserting the fastening bolts into the assembly holes.

The flow of the fluid drives the movable blade 9 to rotate, and the movable blade 9 cooperates with the fixed blade 7 to effectively cut or crush solid particles, sediments, fibers, tree roots, grease, etc. in the pipeline that are easy to clog. The scraper 115 is a kind of scraper which is used to remove impurities from the inner wall of the large diameter space 4. ...
