Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of expansion joints, in particular to a high-strength pressure-bearing structure of an expansion joint. Background Art
[0002] An expansion joint refers to a flexible element that can effectively compensate for axial deformation. For example, the expansion joint welded on the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger shell has large axial flexibility and is easy to deform. It can compensate for the thermal expansion difference between the tube and the shell due to different wall temperatures, reduce their axial load, and thus reduce the temperature difference stress of the tube, tube sheet and shell, avoiding strength damage, instability damage and tube pull-off damage. There are many types of expansion joints, and the commonly used ones are corrugated, ring plate welding and sandwich shell structures.
[0003] Existing expansion joints, such as the high-sealing expansion joint disclosed in publication number CN210800396U, have the advantage of being easy to disassemble and install, but the fixing ring at the inner end of the airbag cavity of this expansion joint does not have a reinforcement structure at the inner and outer ends. As a result, when the pressure in the expansion joint is high, the fixing ring with a single structure is prone to deformation and other problems. For this reason, we propose a high-strength pressure-bearing structure for the expansion joint. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the inner reinforcement ring and the outer reinforcement ring are arranged alternately at the inner and outer ends of the inner sleeve, and both the inner reinforcement ring and the outer reinforcement ring are annular structures.
[0008] Preferably, the reinforcement component further comprises a plurality of groups of jacks arranged in the inner sleeve, the number of the jacks is equal to the number of the reinforcement rods, and the jacks match the reinforcement rods.

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0028] Embodiment 1:
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a high-strength pressure-bearing structure of an expansion joint, including an expansion joint 100, a reinforcement assembly 200 and a protection assembly 300. The expansion joint 100 includes a bellows 101 at the center, and the expansion joint 100 also includes a connecting rod 102 arranged and installed at its outer end. The reinforcement assembly 200 includes an inner sleeve 201 fixedly installed in the expansion joint 100, and an inner reinforcement ring 202 and an outer reinforcement ring 203 arranged and fixedly installed at the inner and outer ends of the inner sleeve 201, respectively. The left end of the inner sleeve 201 is welded to the expansion joint 100. A fixing ring 204 is welded and fixed on one side of the corrugated tube 101, and a plurality of reinforcing rods 205 are arranged and welded on the inner end of the fixing ring 204. The inner reinforcing ring 202 and the outer reinforcing ring 203 are arranged alternately at the inner and outer ends of the inner sleeve 201, and both the inner reinforcing ring 202 and the outer reinforcing ring 203 are annular structures. The reinforcing assembly 200 also includes a plurality of jacks 206 arranged and opened in the inner sleeve 201, and the number of the jacks 206 is equal to the number of the reinforcing rods 205, and the jacks 206 and the reinforcing rods 205 match each other.
[0030] Specifically, the expansion joint 100 refers to a flexible element that can effectively compensate for axial deformation and is often installed on a pipeline. The inner sleeve 201 at the inner end of the bellows 101 in the expansion joint 100 can rely on multiple groups of inner reinforcement rings 202 and outer reinforcement rings 203 arranged alternately at its inner and outer ends after installation, as well as multiple groups of reinforcement rods 205 arranged and installed in the inner sleeve 201, to strengthen the strength and impact resistance of the inner and outer ends of the inner sleeve 201 during use of the expansion joint 100, thereby improving its pressure-bearing strength during use and avoiding the problem of deformation of the inner sleeve 201 due to excessive pressure in the expansion joint 100. The fixing ring 204 fixedly installed on one side of the expansion joint 100 is mainly used to ensure the stability of the multiple groups of reinforcement rods 205 at the inner end.
[0031] Embodiment 2:
[0032] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 6-8As shown, the protection component 300 includes a left protection sleeve 301 and a right protection sleeve 302 respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the expansion joint 100, and an installation cavity 303 opened in the left protection sleeve 301, and the right protection sleeve 302 matches the installation cavity 303. The protection component 300 also includes a plurality of groups of notches 304 staggered at the inner and outer ends of the right protection sleeve 302, and sealing rings 305 matched and installed in the notches 304.
[0033] Specifically, the left protective sleeve 301 and the right protective sleeve 302 installed on both sides of the expansion joint 100 at the outer end of the bellows 101, and the sealing ring 305 installed at the inner and outer ends of the right protective sleeve 302 for multi-layer sealing in the connection with the left protective sleeve 301, can also achieve dust-proof, anti-corrosion and anti-wear protection for the outer end of the bellows 101, thereby improving the service life of the bellows 101.
[0034] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0035] When the pressure at the inner end of the expansion joint 100 is relatively high, the internal pressure will squeeze the inner sleeve 201 at the center. When the inner sleeve 201 is subjected to pressure, the multiple groups of inner reinforcement rings 202 and outer reinforcement rings 203 arranged alternately at the inner and outer ends will strengthen the strength of the inner sleeve 201 itself, thereby resisting the pressure from the inner end. At the same time, the multiple groups of reinforcement rods 205 arranged and installed in the inner sleeve 201 can also restrain the axial position of the inner sleeve 201, thereby enhancing its torsional strength. In the expansion joint 100 telescopic buffer, the left protective sleeve 301 and the right protective sleeve 302 engaged on both sides of the outer end can still be strengthened with the multi-layer seal between the mounting cavity 303 through the sealing ring 305 in the recess 304 on both sides of the right protective sleeve 302, thereby preventing external dust, rainwater, and foreign objects from contacting the bellows 101 and increasing its service life.
[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
