DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0027] The traditional pipe segment connection structure includes a connecting rod 1 and embedded parts 2 assembled at both ends of the connecting rod 1. The connecting rod 1 includes a spindle 11 protruding in the middle and a rod body 12 connected to both ends of the spindle 11 for cooperating with the embedded parts 2. The connecting rod 1 is provided with an external thread on the outside, and the embedded parts 2 generally use internal thread sleeves adapted thereto. When in use, two embedded parts 2 are respectively embedded and positioned in the opposite surfaces of two adjacent pipe segments connected longitudinally, and then the external threads at both ends of the connecting rod 1 are rotated and assembled in the embedded parts 2. The actual construction process of this connection method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the threads are easily damaged, and the bonding strength is not high.
[0028] In order to facilitate the preparation and construction of the connection structure, a shield segment connection structure is designed, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the embedded part 2 includes an outer tube 21 and an inner tube, the inner tube is sleeved on the rod body 12 of the connecting rod 1, and the two are connected by a snap-fit, the outer tube 21 is sleeved on the inner tube, and the two are connected by a snap-fit, the inner tube and the outer tube 21 both have a proximal end close to the spindle 11 and a distal end away from the spindle 11, the outer tube 21 is a tubular structure with an open proximal end and a closed distal end, the inner tube is composed of a plurality of groups of elastic clips 3 uniformly distributed along the axial direction of the rod body 12, the elastic clips 3 are all radially toward the proximal end, forming a unidirectional expansion bayonet, the inner wall of the outer tube 21 is provided with a plurality of annular flanges 22, the plurality of annular flanges 22 are uniformly distributed along the axial direction, and a slot 23 for accommodating the expansion bayonet is formed between adjacent annular flanges 22, the outer wall of the rod body 12 is provided with a plurality of annular flanges 24, the plurality of annular flanges 24 are uniformly distributed along the axial direction, and a fixing groove 25 for accommodating the elastic clip 3 is formed between adjacent annular flanges 24.
[0029] The outer tube 21 is pre-buried in the opposite surfaces of two adjacent pipe segments, and the elastic clips 3 are installed on the rod bodies 12 at both ends of the connecting rod 1 in sequence. During assembly, the connecting rod 1 equipped with the elastic clips 3 can be directly assembled in the outer tube 21 by axial force snap-fitting, and the annular flange 22 on the inner wall of the outer tube 21 squeezes the one-way expansion snap-in of the elastic clip 3 inwardly in the axial and radial directions, so that the elastic clips 3 outside the rod body 12 shrink inwardly, and the axial assembly is completed after the distal end of the rod body 12 abuts against the end cover 26 at the end of the outer tube 21. After the assembly is completed, the one-way expansion snap-in of each elastic clip 3 restores its deformation and is placed in the card groove 23 formed between the adjacent annular flanges 22 for positioning, which has a good anti-retraction effect and can effectively prevent the inner tube from falling out, making the assembly construction simpler, improving the bonding strength of the connection structure, and improving the pull-out resistance and seismic resistance.
[0030] like Figure 6As shown, the elastic clamp 3 includes a fixing portion 31 and an expansion portion 32, the fixing portion 31 is matched with the fixing groove 25, the expansion portion 32 is matched with the clamping groove 23, the fixing portion 31 is provided with an opening 33 connected with the expansion clamping port, and the elastic clamp 3 is sleeved on the rod body 12 through the fixing portion 31. The opening connected with the expansion clamping port can facilitate the elastic clamp 3 to be sleeved into the fixing groove 25 formed between the adjacent annular flanges 24 on the rod body 12. Before assembly, a plurality of elastic clamps 3 are sleeved onto the rod body 12 in sequence to complete the installation of the connecting rod 1, and then the assembled connecting rod 1 is directly inserted into the outer tube 21 pre-embedded in the pipe segment to complete the assembly of the adjacent pipe segments.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the fixing portion 31 is provided with a second positioning step 311 that abuts against the second annular flange 24, and the second annular flange 24 is also provided with a second guiding slope 241 for guiding the second positioning step 311. The second positioning step 311 has a certain thickness, which can improve the connection strength between the elastic clamp 3 and the rod body 12. When the elastic clamp 3 is inserted into the fixing groove 25 by using the opening on the expansion portion 32, the second guiding slope 241 can ensure that it is inserted in place, avoiding the situation of being stuck outside the flange.
[0032] The end surface of the expansion part 32 is provided with a positioning step 321 that abuts against the annular flange 22, and the annular flange 22 is also provided with a guiding inclined surface 221 for guiding the positioning step 321. The expansion bayonet is provided on the expansion part 32. When the assembly is completed, the expansion bayonet restores its deformation, so that the positioning step 321 on the end surface just abuts against the card slot 23 for fixing, effectively preventing the elastic card 3 from falling out.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer tube 21 includes a first half tube and a second half tube that are assembled, and an end cap 26 is provided at the distal end of the first half tube and the second half tube. A plurality of stop threads 27 are provided on the outer wall of the outer tube 21, and the plurality of stop threads 27 are evenly distributed in the axial direction. The first half tube and the second half tube are clamped and fixed by concave and convex blocks, and positioning protrusions and positioning holes are relatively provided on the assembled surface. Anti-rotation reinforcement ribs 28 are also provided on the outer surface of the assembled surface of the first half tube and the second half tube. The anti-rotation reinforcement ribs 28 are just protrudingly arranged on the connection surface, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the two half tubes, and at the same time ensure the strength of the reinforcement ribs 28, thereby improving the anti-rotation ability of the embedded part 2.
[0034] In order to ensure that the inner tube is assembled in place axially, the annular flange 24 extends to the distal end of the rod body 12. Both ends of the rod body 12 of the connecting rod 1 are annular flanges 24, and the inner side of the end cover 26 is also provided with a positioning rod 261 that abuts against the annular flange 24. When the rod body 12 equipped with the elastic clamp 3 is placed in the outer tube 21 until it abuts against the positioning rod 261 of the end cover 26, it is assembled in place.
[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, a metal inner core 4 is buried inside the connecting rod 1 along its axial direction to improve the structural strength of the connecting rod 1 and resist bending and pulling. The material of the metal inner core 4 can be iron or corrosion-resistant metal such as stainless steel.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the spindle 11 decreases from the middle to both ends, and a conical surface is formed at both ends. A number of anti-rotation reinforcing ribs 28 are arranged on the conical surface, and the anti-rotation reinforcing ribs 28 are evenly distributed circumferentially. Anti-rotation grooves (not shown in the figure) are formed between adjacent anti-rotation reinforcing ribs 28 to improve the anti-rotation ability of the connection structure. The two conical surfaces of the spindle 11 are respectively arranged corresponding to the connecting surfaces of adjacent tube segments, and there are grooves on the connecting surfaces of the tube segments (the tube segments are not shown in the figure). The outer tubes 21 of the two embedded parts 2 are embedded in the tube segments, and the ends of the embedded parts 2 are located at the bottom of the grooves. The shape of the grooves matches the conical surface of the spindle 11 to ensure that the two adjacent tube segments are seamlessly connected.
[0037] The above description is only illustrative rather than restrictive of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, changes or equivalents may be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, but all will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
