Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas pipes, and more specifically to an insulating joint assembly for gas pipelines. Background technology:
[0002] The structure of the traditional pipe joint is metal contact sealing, one end is a movable nut with internal threads, and the other end is a pipe fitting with external threads, which is used for assembly connection between pipe fittings.
[0003] However, in some special applications, the pipes need to be connected to each other and insulated from each other. For example, stove pipes, water heater pipes, and wall-mounted boiler pipes are directly connected to metal bellows, or connected to metal pipes through traditional metal pipe joints. Metal joints and metal nuts are prone to static electricity during the connection process, which affects the safety of pipeline use.
[0004] Similarly, when the connected device is turned on, it will also generate electric current, etc., which poses certain safety issues.
[0005] Some of them directly use all-plastic pipe fittings. However, due to the elastic deformation of plastic materials, they are not strong enough and are prone to deformation or even leakage during connection. They are also poor in firmness and anti-collision effect.
[0006] Therefore, a joint assembly with an insulating function with Chinese patent application number 202220336733.2 is provided, which is used to assemble and connect the pipe fittings on both sides through the setting of an insulating connecting ring, while making the pipe fittings insulated from each other, has better safety and improves the service life of the connected pipe fittings. However, the middle part of the insulating material is on the outside and is formed into an outer wall surface with a regular hexagonal cross-section. It can be clamped at this part with a wrench during installation and rotated to drive the external threaded pipe to rotate. Since this clamping part is an insulating material, ABS plastic and other materials are generally used, and its hardness and strength are limited. After being clamped with a wrench for many times, its surface is easily deformed, affecting the clamping of the wrench. Moreover, its surface is prone to aging and cracking over time, so that during later repair, maintenance and disassembly, it cannot be firmly clamped with a wrench due to surface cracks, affecting subsequent repair, maintenance and disassembly. Utility model content:
[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to address the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide an insulating joint assembly for a gas pipeline. The utility model adopts an insulating sleeve member to separate the upper connecting sleeve member and the lower externally threaded sleeve member to maintain insulation.

[0011] The upper part of the upper connecting sleeve body part extends out of the top surface of the insulating sleeve body part and is movably mounted with a metal nut.
[0012] A vertical stepped through hole with a large diameter hole section at the upper part and a small diameter hole section at the lower part is formed in the middle part of the insulating sleeve body, the top end of the vertical stepped through hole extends out of the top surface of the insulating sleeve body, and the bottom end of the vertical stepped through hole extends out of the bottom surface of the insulating sleeve body, the lower part of the upper connecting sleeve body is in the large diameter hole section, the lower outer side wall of the upper connecting sleeve body is fixed on the inner side wall of the large diameter hole section, and the bottom surface of the upper connecting sleeve body is pressed against the bottom end surface of the large diameter hole section;

At the same time, the outer wall of the insulating sleeve part is covered by the outer sleeve part. The outer wall of the insulating sleeve part is not easily contacted by foreign substances, so it is not easy to age. Moreover, when loading and unloading, a wrench can clamp the outer sleeve part.
