AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

After welding of the existing sanitary fast-load clamp assembly, the sealing surface of the quick-load clamp joint is reduced due to deformation, especially large-diameter joints, and the sealing end surface is uneven, resulting in leakage.

Method used

A V-shaped sealing ring is used instead of the flat sealing gasket. The tip of the V-shaped sealing ring is squeezed by the sealing groove, and the contact surface is greatly reduced. After the sealing surface is twisted, the tip can be kept sealed by displacement compensation.

Benefits of technology

Improves the sealing effect, ensures the reliability and durability of the seal, and avoids leakage problems caused by welding deformation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sanitary quick-install clamp assembly. Background Art

[0002] Sanitary quick-release clamp assemblies are common pipe connectors widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. They offer easy installation, excellent sealing, and corrosion resistance. They primarily consist of a quick-release connector, a quick-release clamp, and a flat gasket. The sanitary quick-release clamp assembly is welded to connect the quick-release connector to the sanitary straight pipe. The two quick-release connectors butt against each other, compressing the flat gasket. The quick-release clamp then secures the connection and seals the sanitary pipe. However, welding the quick-release connector to the sanitary straight pipe causes deformation of the quick-release connector's sealing surface, significantly impacting the seal of the sanitary quick-release clamp assembly. The larger the diameter of the quick-release connector, the greater the post-weld deformation of the sealing surface. Furthermore, the more uneven the quick-release connector's sealing surface, the less self-compensating the flat gasket, made of PTFE, can prevent the gasket from fully conforming to the quick-release connector's sealing surface, leading to leakage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to disclose a sanitary quick-release clamp assembly, which adopts a V-shaped sealing ring instead of a flat sealing gasket, and has a better sealing effect. The tip of the V-shaped sealing ring is squeezed by the sealing groove, and the contact area with the sealing groove is greatly reduced. After the sealing surface is distorted due to welding deformation of the joint, the V-shaped sealing ring can make displacement compensation according to the gap to ensure sealing reliability.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a sanitary quick-release clamp assembly, including two joints, a clamp for locking the two joints, and a V-shaped sealing ring located between the two joints; the V-shaped sealing ring includes a tip portion extending in the upward and downward directions and a flat portion extending in the left and right directions, a sealing groove is provided on the abutting surface of the joint, the flat portion is squeezed by the abutting surfaces of the two joints, and the tip portion is located in the sealing groove and squeezed by the sealing groove.

[0005] In some embodiments, the top of the tip portion is platform-shaped.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the sanitary quick-release clamp assembly provided by the present invention adopts a V-shaped sealing ring instead of a flat sealing gasket, which has a better sealing effect. The tip of the V-shaped sealing ring is squeezed by the sealing groove, and the contact area with the sealing groove is greatly reduced. After the sealing surface is distorted due to welding deformation of the joint, the V-shaped sealing ring can make displacement compensation according to the gap to ensure sealing reliability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] Figure 1This is a structural diagram of the sanitary quick-release clamp assembly shown in the utility model;

[0008] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the V-shaped sealing ring shown in;

[0009] Figure 3 for Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the V-ring is shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the various embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not limitations of the present invention, and any equivalent transformations or substitutions in functions, methods, or structures made by ordinary technicians in this field based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0011] like Figure 1-3 The sanitary quick-release clamp assembly shown includes two joints 1 , a clamp 3 for locking the two joints 1 , and a V-shaped sealing ring 2 located between the two joints 1 .

[0012] The V-shaped sealing ring 2 includes a tip portion 21 extending in two directions, namely, the tip portion 21 and the flat portion 2 ...

[0013] The flat portion 22 is pressed and held in place by the abutting surfaces of the two connectors 1. A sealing groove 10 is provided on the abutting surface of the connector 1, and the tip portion 21 is located within the sealing groove 10. Both the upper and lower tip portions 21 are squeezed by the sealing groove 10, significantly reducing the contact area between the V-shaped sealing ring 2 and the sealing groove 10. If the sealing surface of the connector 1 is distorted or shifted left or right due to welding deformation, the tip portion 21 can compensate for the gap by making a ridge-like displacement, thereby ensuring airtightness.

[0014] The top of the tip portion 21 is in a platform shape 23 , which ensures an effective contact area between the tip portion 21 and the sealing groove 10 and improves the sealing effect.

[0015] The V-shaped sealing ring 2 with a line sealing compression structure replaces the flat sealing gasket with a flat compression sealing structure, which has better sealing effect, uniform pressure distribution and durability.

[0016] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
