In addition, the existing engines need to meet a lot of matching conditions, and each matching engine compartment is different. Each time, a large number of related pipelines must be changed, which consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and will also cause the installation status to be different and unchanged.

The so-called certain range of rotation means that the annular body 202 cannot rotate 360 ​​degrees on the double-ring rail body 101.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of intermediate communication holes 2021 are evenly distributed and annularly arranged on the side wall of the annular body 202, and the central axes of the plurality of intermediate communication holes 2021 are perpendicular to the central axis of the annular body 202 and are relative to the same point.

[0031] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, in some embodiments, there are multiple connected state joint components 3, and the positions of at least two state connecting holes 301 on the multiple connected state joint components 3 are different. The at least two state connecting holes 301 on each connected state joint component 3 can match two of the multiple middle connecting holes 2021 of the annular body 202. In other words, when the movable joint component 2 is rotated to a certain angle on the ring track joint component 1, for example, when the angle between the first joint 102 and the second joint 201 is 15°, 30°, 45° or 90° respectively, the connected state joint component 3 with the angle between the two state connecting holes 301 also being 15°, 30°, 45° or 90° respectively can be selected to be installed in conjunction with the ring track joint component 1 and the movable joint component 2 to form a pipeline joint with a required angle.

[0036] In some embodiments, the method of using the variable angle pipeline joint of the utility model is as follows: first, the ring rail joint assembly 1 and the ring rail joint assembly 1 are assembled together, and then the angle between the second joint 201 and the first joint 102 is rotated until the pipeline assembly requirements are met, and finally the connection state joint assembly 3 that matches the angle between the second joint 201 and the first joint 102 is selected to assemble and combine with the ring rail joint assembly 1 and the ring rail joint assembly 1, and then the two ends of the middle hole of the connection state joint assembly 3 of the assembled pipeline joint are sealed and connected with the corresponding main pipeline, and the first joint 102 and the second joint 201 are sealed and connected with the corresponding branch pipeline. Or the two ends of the middle hole are blocked with a plugging assembly, and the pipeline joint can be used as a two-way joint that meets the assembly requirements of the pipeline system and has a suitable angle.
