[0002] The expansion joint is a flexible structure installed on the container shell or pipeline to compensate for the additional stress caused by temperature difference and mechanical vibration. It has the advantages of reliable operation, good performance and compact structure. It has been widely used in chemical, metallurgical, nuclear energy and other departments.

[0003] The inner tube of the expansion joint may be corroded and damaged during long-term use. Generally, the inner tube is welded to the flange at one end and slides relative to the bellows. It is difficult to remove the inner tube, and gas cutting is required before welding the inner ring. At the same time, the welding quality is affected, which affects the safe use of the expansion joint. In addition, the expansion joint needs to be connected through a welding seat, which cooperates with the threaded pull rod to support the flanges at both ends of the expansion joint during transportation, which increases the production cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the welded design of the inner ring of the expansion joint is inconvenient to repair and replace after being damaged, and the welding connection seat also increases the production cost.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: the utility model proposes a new type of metal expansion joint, including a bellows, an inner tube and flange one and flange two welded to the two ends of the bellows, one end of the inner tube is provided with a mounting plate, one end of the flange one is provided with a recessed platform, the inner tube is slidably arranged in the bellows, the mounting plate is provided with a groove, a connecting screw is passed through the groove and is threadedly connected, and the recessed platform is provided with an internal threaded hole corresponding to the connecting screw.

[0006] Preferred technical solution one: also includes a support assembly, which includes screw one, screw two and an adjusting sleeve, wherein screw one and screw two are respectively connected to flange one and flange two through threads, and the adjusting sleeve is respectively connected to the other end of screw one and screw two through threads, and the threaded connection direction between screw one and the adjusting sleeve is opposite to the threaded connection direction between screw two and the adjusting sleeve, and the adjusting sleeve is rotated to pull or support screw one and screw two.

[0007] Preferred technical solution 2: A sealing rubber ring is also provided on the concave platform, and a concave ring is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and the sealing performance is increased by the cooperation between the sealing rubber ring and the concave ring.

[0008] Optimal technical solution three: The connecting screws and internal threaded holes are evenly distributed in multiple groups with the center axis of the flange as the center.

[0009] Preferred technical solution four: the support components are evenly distributed in four groups with the central axis of the flange as the center.

[0010] The utility model proposes a new type of metal expansion joint, which adopts the above structure to achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) A mounting plate is provided at one end of the inner tube, and the mounting plate and the concave platform are matched and connected and locked by a connecting screw, instead of welding, which has high production efficiency and is more convenient for replacement in the later stage. The sealing rubber ring and concave ring provided further increase the connection sealing between the inner tube and the flange plate;

[0012] (2) The two sets of flanges can be stably supported by the cooperation of the screw rod 1, the screw rod 2 and the adjusting sleeve, without the need for additional welding of the connecting seat, thereby reducing production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
