Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bellows, in particular to a high-pitch metal bellows for motor vehicles. Background Art
[0002] Metal bellows is a pipe with a regular wave shape. Commonly used metal bellows include carbon steel, stainless steel, steel lined with plastic, aluminum, etc. They are mainly used for non-concentric axial transmission with a small bending radius, or irregular turning, expansion, or absorbing thermal deformation of pipes, or for connecting pipes to pipes or pipes to equipment in situations where it is not convenient to install with fixed elbows. High-pitch metal bellows are often used on EMUs.
[0003] The patent with publication number CN 214008423 U discloses a high-pitch metal bellows for motor vehicles, which includes a main pile, symmetrically distributed washers are fixedly connected to both sides of the main pile, a circular hole is opened inside the main pile, and a valve core is movably connected to the inner wall of the circular hole, a shaft is fixedly connected to the outside of the valve core, and a turntable is fixedly connected to the top of the shaft. The device is ensured to ensure the sealing of the bellows without destroying the integrity of the bellows by opening symmetrically distributed second annular grooves at both ends of the outside of the long-wave tube and movably connecting a limiting member on the outside of the second annular groove, which facilitates the operator to quickly install and disassemble. However The device has a main pile and a gasket pre-installed in the first annular groove, and then the annular groove on one side of the limit piece is snapped into the second annular groove, and a series of structures such as a fixing nut and a pressing plate are used to connect the short-wave tube and the long-wave tube together. However, this connection method of the bellows still requires the use of a metal connector such as a fixing nut, and there is still a risk of rusting of the fixing nut after using the bellows for a long time, thereby affecting subsequent disassembly, maintenance, replacement and other operations. For this reason, a high-pitch metal bellows for EMU is proposed to solve the problem that metal bolts at the connection of existing metal bellows are easily rusted, affecting subsequent disassembly and maintenance.
