Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metal hoses, and particularly relates to a low-temperature resistant metal hose. Background Art

[0002] The natural gas metal hose is composed of three parts: a bellows, a mesh sleeve, and a joint. It is used as a compensation element in various gas and liquid pipeline systems as well as length, temperature, position and angle compensation systems. When connected, the natural gas metal hose is mostly sealed with a flange.

[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent with publication number CN217951579U discloses a natural gas metal hose with a multiple sealing protection structure, including a first protective component and a first connecting flange, the first protective component is installed and connected to the rear end position of the first connecting flange, a first hose body is arranged around the inner side of the first protective component, a second connecting flange is arranged at the front end of the first connecting flange, a second protective component is arranged at the front end of the second connecting flange, a second hose body is arranged around the inner side of the second protective component, fixing screws are arranged around the connection between the first connecting flange and the second connecting flange, and reinforcement components are arranged at both ends of the first connecting flange and the second connecting flange.

[0004] The metal hose in the above-mentioned prior art still has some shortcomings in actual use and operation. For example, on the basis of flange connection, the metal hose is inserted into the outside of the two flanges using a U-shaped metal block, and then is locked and fixed using a limit nut in combination with a threaded round rod. Although this structure can further improve the stability of the connection between the two metal hoses, in actual operation, we found that the outer periphery of the flange is arc-shaped, and the U-shaped metal block is difficult to position during installation and fixation. Moreover, since the metal block is protruding on both sides of the flange, it is easy to be hit, causing the metal block to tilt and loosen. Utility Model Content

A reinforcing bolt 801 is provided at the upper end of the upper arc plate 804. A groove 802 is provided on the outer side of the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4. The threaded ends of the reinforcing bolt 801 are movably penetrated through the upper arc plate 804 and the lower arc plate 805 and are threadedly connected with a loose nut 803. The threaded end of the reinforcing bolt 801 penetrates the groove 802. When reinforcing the first connecting flange 3 of the first metal hose 1 and the second metal hose 2 and the second connecting flange 4, it is only necessary to position the upper arc plate 804 and plug it into the ends of the two adjacent fixing bolts 5 on the first connecting flange 3, and then position and insert the lower arc plate 805 at the threaded ends corresponding to the two adjacent fixing bolts 5. Finally, the reinforcing bolt 801 is inserted from the upper end of the upper arc plate 804 and penetrates the cut grooves 802 of the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4 and the lower arc plate 805, and then is tightened in combination with the loose nut 803, so that the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4 of the first metal hose 1 and the second metal hose 2 can be more stably reinforced. In addition, the upper arc plate 804 and the lower arc plate 805 in the structure are based on the original installation of the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4 by the fixing bolts 5, so that the fixing bolts 5 can cooperate with the positioning of the upper arc plate 804 and the lower arc plate 805. In addition, the same cut groove 802 is added to the outer side of the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4, which can facilitate the connection of the reinforcing bolt 801. In addition, the structure does not protrude on the basis of the original installation characteristics, and will not be unstable due to collision.

The low temperature can reduce the temperature stress of the pipeline and reduce the risk of pipeline bursting. Risk, and the stainless steel bellows layer 104 can protect the low-temperature resistant inner tube layer 105, achieving the advantages of high strength and flexibility. The thermal insulation layer 103 can play a heat insulation role outside the bellows layer 104, which can avoid the influence of heat conduction on natural gas transportation. The stainless steel mesh layer 102 can further enhance the protection of the internal bellows layer 104, and the rubber coating layer 101 can play an anti-corrosion and wear-resistant role. The internal structures of the first metal hose 1 and the second metal hose 2 are the same.

The through holes 10 are symmetrically arranged on the sides of the cut groove 802 of the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4. The through holes 10 of the upper arc plate 804 and the lower arc plate 805 correspond to the notch of the cut groove 802. The through hole 10 of the plate corresponds to the groove 802 of the first connecting flange 3 and the second connecting flange 4.
