[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flanges, in particular to a flange which is easy to position. Background Art

[0002] The flange is a device used to connect two pipes. By welding the flange to the ends of the two flanges and then bolting the two flanges together, the ends of the two pipes can be connected together. It mainly plays a connecting role. If the two pipes are directly connected together, not only will the sealing be poor, but the connection of the pipes will also be more susceptible to oxidation damage.

[0003] During use of existing flanges, the bolt holes of the two flanges need to be aligned to facilitate the insertion of the connecting bolts, but the operation of aligning the bolt holes is cumbersome, and when a pipeline is connected to the rear of the flange, rotating the flange at a large angle requires the entire pipeline to rotate, which is very heavy and inconvenient.

[0004] For this purpose, we propose a flange that facilitates positioning. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a flange that is easy to position, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0008] Optionally, the outer circumference of the plug-in ring is flush with the inner wall of the connecting groove, the inner circumference of the welding ring is flush with the outer wall of the connecting groove, and the length of the plug-in ring is greater than the length of the welding ring.

[0009] Optionally, a rotating ring is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove, a limiting protrusion is integrally provided inside the rotating groove, a limiting slide groove is provided in the middle of the rotating ring, and the limiting protrusion is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting slide groove.

[0010] Optionally, a first magnetic block located between the limiting sliding grooves is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating ring close to the bottom of the rotating groove, a second magnetic block located on one side of the first magnetic block is fixedly installed on the rotating ring, and a third magnetic block is fixedly installed on one end of the plug-in column.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. The flange which is easy to position is provided with an outer rotating ring. When the bolt holes of the two flanges cannot be aligned, the rotating ring is rotated to align the second magnetic block with the movable through hole, so that the second magnetic block and the third magnetic block are adsorbed, and the plug-in column is pulled out from the plug-in slot. Then, the rotating ring is rotated to align the bolt hole with the bolt hole of the other flange. The rotating ring is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the second magnetic block and the third magnetic block. At the same time, the first magnetic block and the third magnetic block are aligned. Under the action of magnetic force, the plug-in column is plugged into the plug-in slot again, and the rotating ring is fixed, so that the alignment of the bolt holes is easier and the docking of the first flange and the second flange is faster.

[0015] 2. The flange, which is easy to position, is provided with a connection groove, and the pipe is inserted into the connection groove, so that the flange and the pipe are precisely butted together. Then, the welding ring is melted by a welding machine, so that the inner fixing ring and the pipe are melted together, without damaging the structure of the pipe, and can reduce the welding consumption of the pipe, thereby making the flange butt joint more precise and the service life after welding longer.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a flange that is easy to position, including an inner fixed ring 1 and an outer rotating ring 2. The inner fixed ring 1 includes a connecting ring 11 connected to the end of the pipeline. The outer circumferential surface of the connecting ring 11 is integrally provided with a rotating convex ring 12.

A plug-in groove 13 is provided on one side of the rotating convex ring 12. The outer rotating ring 2 includes a rotating circular ring 21 rotatably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the connecting ring 11. A rotating groove 22 is provided on one side of the rotating circular ring 21. The rotating circular ring 21 is provided with a bolt hole 24 located outside the rotating groove 22. A movable through hole 29 is provided at the bottom of the rotating groove 22. A plug-in column 210 is provided inside the movable through hole 29. The plug-in column 210 is fixedly plugged with the plug-in groove 13.

[0025] A connecting groove 14 for plugging into the end of the pipe is provided on one side of the connecting ring 11, and a plug-in ring 15 located inside the connecting groove 14 is integrally connected to one side of the connecting ring 11. A welding ring 16 located outside the connecting groove 14 is provided on one side of the connecting ring 11. By setting the connecting groove 14, the pipe is inserted into the connecting groove 14, so that the flange and the pipe are accurately docked. Then, the welding ring 16 is melted by a welding machine, so that the inner fixing ring 1 is melted together with the pipe, without damaging the structure of the pipe, and reducing the welding consumption of the pipe, thereby making the flange docking more precise and the service life after welding longer.

[0026] The outer circumference of the plug-in ring 15 is flush with the inner wall of the connecting groove 14 , the inner circumference of the welding ring 16 is flush with the outer wall of the connecting groove 14 , and the length of the plug-in ring 15 is greater than that of the welding ring 16 .

[0027] A rotating ring 25 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 22 . A limiting protrusion 23 is integrally arranged inside the rotating groove 22 . A limiting sliding groove 26 is provided in the middle of the rotating ring 25 . The limiting protrusion 23 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting sliding groove 26 .

By setting the outer rotating ring 2, when the bolt holes 24 of the two flanges cannot be aligned, the rotating ring 25 is rotated to align the second magnetic block 28 with the movable through hole 29, thereby causing the second magnetic block 28 to be adsorbed with the third magnetic block 211, The plug-in column 210 is pulled out from the plug-in slot 13, and then the rotating ring 21 is rotated to align the bolt hole 24 with the bolt hole 24 of the other flange, and the rotating ring 25 is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the second magnetic block 28 and the third magnetic block 211. At the same time, the first magnetic block 27 is aligned with the third magnetic block 211. Under the action of magnetic force, the plug-in column 210 is plugged into the plug-in slot 13 again, and the rotating ring 21 is fixed, so that the alignment of the bolt hole 24 is easier and the docking of the first flange and the second flange is faster.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Insert the pipe into the connection groove 14 so that the flange and the pipe are precisely butted together. Then use a welding machine to melt the welding ring 16 so that the inner fixing ring 1 is melted together with the pipe, without damaging the structure of the pipe and reducing the welding consumption of the pipe, thereby making the flange butt joint more precise and having a longer service life after welding. When the bolt holes 24 of the two flanges cannot be aligned, rotate the rotating ring 25 so that the second magnetic block 28 is aligned with the active through hole 29, thereby making the second magnetic block 28 adsorbed with the third magnetic block 211, and insert the pipe. The connecting post 210 is pulled out from the plug-in slot 13, and then the rotating ring 21 is rotated to align the bolt hole 24 with the bolt hole 24 of the other flange, and the rotating ring 25 is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the second magnetic block 28 and the third magnetic block 211. At the same time, the first magnetic block 27 is aligned with the third magnetic block 211. Under the action of magnetic force, the connecting post 210 is plugged into the plug-in slot 13 again, and the rotating ring 21 is fixed, so that the alignment of the bolt hole 24 is easier and the docking of the first flange and the second flange is faster.
