Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum pipe couplings, in particular to a thermal compensation petroleum pipe coupling. Background Art

[0002] When transporting oil, an oil pipeline is needed. Since the size of the oil pipeline is limited, a coupling pipeline for connecting the oil casing needs to be provided between each oil pipeline.

[0003] Couplings are often used to connect oil pipelines. The coupling body has internal threads that correspond to the external threads of the oil pipeline. When connecting, the oil pipeline and the coupling body are connected through threads to achieve the connection of the pipeline. This connection method is relatively fast and has better sealing. When the oil pipeline is laid in an environment with a large temperature difference between day and night or a large seasonal temperature difference, or when the oil temperature changes, the oil pipeline will expand and contract to a certain extent due to the change in temperature. At this time, it is necessary to set compensating pipe fittings at a certain distance to offset the change in the pipeline.

[0004] For example, the prior art Chinese patent publication number "CN211623352U" provides a heat-compensated oil pipeline pipe coupling structure, including an oil pipeline and an oil coupling, one end of the oil pipeline is fixedly connected with a conical screw sleeve, the inner wall of the oil coupling is fixedly connected with a threaded ring matching the conical screw sleeve, two arc-shaped clamps are provided on the oil pipeline, the side walls of the two arc-shaped clamps are fixedly connected with fixed blocks, the side walls of the fixed blocks are provided with fixing bolts, the fixing bolts pass through the two fixed blocks and are threadedly connected with fixing nuts, the side walls of the two arc-shaped clamps are fixedly connected with mounting seats, the side walls of the mounting seats are provided with locking bolts, and the side walls of the oil coupling are provided with multiple threaded grooves, and the locking bolts pass through the mounting seats and extend into the threaded grooves.

[0005] The device uses the arc clamping plate and under the restriction of the locking bolt and the fixing bolt, the oil coupling and the oil pipeline are connected more tightly together and the sealing performance is better.

[0006] The existing thermal compensation oil pipe coupling is only to set a coupling between two oil pipelines for connection. The thermal expansion and contraction caused by the temperature difference between day and night at the coupling will cause gaps or expansion cracks between the coupling and the pipeline, affecting the safe transportation of oil by the oil pipeline. At the same time, the connection between the pipeline and the coupling is not sealed and tightened stably enough. When the pipeline shakes and vibrates, gaps will appear in the connection between the two ends of the coupling and the pipeline, resulting in unstable and unsealed connection. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that the joint coupling is subjected to the temperature difference between day and night and causes thermal expansion and contraction, which may lead to gaps or expansion cracks between the coupling and the pipeline, thus affecting the safe transportation of oil by the oil pipeline, and to propose a thermal compensation oil pipe coupling.
