[0002] Flange is also called flange or flange. It is a common connection component used to connect two pipes or two devices. Flange is a disc-shaped part with multiple holes on the edge. Two flanges are tightly connected by bolts. In order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring is usually set between the flanges for sealing.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with publication number CN 217683776U discloses a sealing flange, which solves the problem that the single sealing ring between the flanges is squeezed and misaligned, which easily leads to poor sealing effect. The technical solution includes a first flange member and a second flange member, one end of the first flange member is connected to the second flange member, the first flange member includes a first flange ring, and one end of the first flange ring is fixedly connected to the first flange pipe. The technical solution has a first sealing ring located between the first flange ring and the second flange ring to play a sealing role, and the second sealing ring plays a sealing role in the contact end face between the annular groove and the annular convex ring. Under such a double sealing effect, the flange structure of the device has a good sealing effect, and the cross-sections between the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring and the corresponding first sealing groove and the second sealing groove are both trapezoidal structures, so that the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring will not be misaligned when squeezed, thereby further improving the sealing effect. However, when the first flange member and the second flange member of the technical solution become loose and the gap becomes larger, the sealing performance will still decrease, and the problem of pipeline leakage is still prone to occur.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the description of the technical solution of the present invention, some directional words used to clearly describe the technical features of the present invention, such as "front", "back", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., are all in accordance with the orientation of the drawings of the present invention.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a high-sealing flange of this embodiment includes a flange assembly 1 and a sealing cover 2 arranged on the outside of the flange assembly 1. The flange assembly 1 includes a flange part 11 and a flange part 2 12 connected by bolts. The bolt connection between the flange part 11 and the flange part 2 12 is a common technical means in the prior art and will not be described in detail here. The two opposite end surfaces of the flange part 11 and the flange part 2 12 are respectively provided with a groove 111 and a groove 2 121. The groove 111 and the groove 2 121 are both sealing annular structures. The cross-sectional structure of the groove 111 is a convex structure. The groove 111 and the groove 2 121 are matched with a sealing ring 6, and the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring 6 matches the cross-sectional shape of the groove 111 and the groove 2 121. One side of the sealing ring 6 is clamped in the groove 111 to prevent the sealing ring 6 from being dislocated due to extrusion.

[0024] The sealing cover 2 is connected and fixed to the flange assembly 1 by at least two spaced connection bolts 4. The cross section of the sealing cover 2 is a "["-shaped structure. The two side walls correspond to the two opposite end faces of the flange assembly 1, and the bottom wall connected between the two side walls corresponds to the outer circumferential surface of the flange assembly 1. The sealing cover 2 includes a cover 1 21 and a cover 2 22. One end of the cover 1 21 is hinged to one end of the cover 2 22, and the other end of the cover 1 21 is detachably connected to the other end of the cover 2 22. Specifically in this embodiment, one end of the cover 1 21 is hinged to one end of the cover 2 22 by a hinge shaft, and the other end of the cover 2 22 extends outward to form an extension portion 221. The extension portion 221 is connected and fixed to the other end of the cover 1 21 by a connection bolt 4. During installation, cover 1 21 and cover 2 22 are put on the outside of flange assembly 1, and cover 1 21 and cover 2 22 are respectively connected and fixed to flange assembly 1 by connecting bolts 4, and the connecting bolts 4 are passed through the extension part 221 and the end of cover 1 21 to connect and fix the two.

[0025] In order to improve the sealing effect of the flange assembly 1, in this embodiment, a sealing air cushion 7 is connected to the inner wall of the cover 1 21 and the cover 2 22. Figure 4 As shown, a sealing air cavity is provided inside the sealing air cushion 7, and the sealing air cavity is connected with the air nozzle 3. When gas is introduced into the air nozzle 3, the sealing air cavity expands. The sealing air cushion 7 is coated on both side end faces and the outer peripheral surface of the flange assembly 1, and the sealing air cushion 7 abuts against both side end faces and the outer peripheral surface of the flange assembly 1 to form a seal.

[0026] Specifically, the sealing air cushion 7 includes two side air cushions 71 and a middle air cushion 72 connected between the two side air cushions 71. The outer surfaces of the two side air cushions 71 are respectively in contact with the two side end surfaces of the flange assembly 1, and the outer surface of the middle air cushion 72 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flange assembly 1. The outer surface of the side air cushion 71 is an uneven wavy structure. With this design, the wavy structure is respectively in contact with the end surface of the flange assembly 1 to form multiple seals, and the leakage prevention effect is better. A protruding portion 721 protruding outward is provided on the middle air cushion 72. The gap between the two opposite end surfaces of the flange component 11 and the flange component 2 12 corresponds to the position of the protruding portion 721.

[0027] When the flange assembly 1 becomes loose due to long-term use or vibration, the gap between flange part 11 and flange part 2 12 will become larger, resulting in a serious decrease in sealing performance. In order to solve this problem, the present embodiment provides a sealing cover 2 on the outer cover of the flange assembly 1. When the flange assembly 1 becomes loose and the gap between flange part 11 and flange part 2 12 becomes larger, the two end faces of the flange assembly 1 that are opposite to each other move away from each other, thereby applying pressure to the two side air cushions 71 in the sealing air cushion 7 that abut against it. The side air cushion 71 is compressed and deformed under pressure, and the gas enters the middle air cushion 72 to expand and enlarge it, tightly abutting against the outer circumferential surface of the flange assembly 1, thereby enhancing the sealing performance. At the same time, the raised portion 721 also expands accordingly, sealing the enlarged gap, and further improving the sealing performance. The material of the sealing air cushion 7 of the present embodiment can be selected from rubber or silicone with good expansion and deformation and pressure resistance characteristics.

[0028] The utility model discloses a high-sealing flange, in which a clamping sealing ring 6 is provided between flange part 11 and flange part 2 12, for sealing the gap therebetween; when the gap between flange part 11 and flange part 2 12 becomes larger and the sealing performance of the sealing ring 6 is greatly reduced, the sealing gas cushion 7 provided on the sealing cover 2 is used to seal the gap, thereby effectively preventing the gas in the pipeline from leaking from the gap between flange part 11 and flange part 2 12, thereby improving the sealing effect and stability; the sealing cover 2 is easy to disassemble and assemble, and the structure is reliable.

[0029] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
