Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of flanges, in particular to an aluminum pressure vessel flange with a sealing structure. Background Art

[0002] In industrial production, pressure vessels are indispensable equipment for storing or transporting high-pressure, high-temperature or corrosive media. In order to ensure the safe operation of pressure vessels, their connection parts, especially flange connections, must have good sealing and stability. Traditional aluminum pressure vessel flanges are often fastened with bolts when connected, but under long-term operation or harsh working conditions, problems such as bolt loosening and medium leakage are prone to occur, which not only affects the normal operation of the equipment, but may also cause safety accidents.

[0003] Although existing sealing gaskets can improve the sealing performance to a certain extent, they often have defects such as inconvenient installation and unstable sealing effect. In addition, the anti-loosening and limiting measures for bolts are often not perfect, which makes the bolts easy to loosen under vibration or impact conditions, thereby affecting the sealing effect.

After the sealing gasket is installed on one side of the flange, the through holes are connected to the bolt holes, and the aperture of the through holes is smaller than the aperture of the bolt holes.

[0008] Preferably, the rubber stopper tube is a circular tube structure, the outer diameter of the rubber stopper tube is equal to the aperture of the bolt hole, the inner diameter of the rubber stopper tube is equal to the aperture of the perforation, the tube length of the rubber stopper tube is greater than the depth of the bolt hole, and the rubber stopper tube is inserted into the bolt hole.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber gasket is integrally formed at one end of the rubber stopper tube, and the outer diameter of the rubber gasket is larger than the diameter of the bolt hole. After the rubber stopper tube passes through the bolt hole, the rubber gasket is located outside the bolt hole.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber ferrule is integrally formed on the inner ring surface of the rubber stopper tube, and the rubber ferrule is a circular ring structure with an arc-shaped cross section. A plurality of rubber ferrules are provided, and the plurality of rubber ferrules are arranged and distributed along the long side of the rubber stopper tube.

[0011] Preferably, the rubber plug ring is a truncated cone tubular structure, the inner ring diameter of the rubber plug ring is equal to the aperture of the perforation, the outer ring diameter of one end of the rubber plug ring is equal to the aperture of the bolt hole, and the outer diameter of the other end of the rubber plug ring is smaller than the aperture of the bolt hole.

[0014] The special structural design of the rubber plug tube and the rubber plug ring enables them to clamp between the bolt rod and the bolt hole and the hole of the flange structure to produce elastic deformation during the bolt locking process, thereby achieving reliable fixation of the bolt. At the same time, the setting of the rubber gasket further enhances the clamping force between the end of the bolt rod and the flange, effectively preventing the bolt from loosening and falling off under vibration or impact conditions.
