Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas pipeline sealing, and in particular relates to a sealing device for gas pipeline butt jointing. Background Art

[0002] A gas pipeline is a pipeline system used to transport natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and other flammable gases. Gas pipelines are typically constructed of steel, plastic, or other materials, and are used to transport gas from production sites, storage facilities, or gas supply stations to users' residences, factories, or other locations. The design, construction, and operation of gas pipelines must strictly adhere to relevant safety standards and regulations to ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline system. Pipeline systems typically require regular inspection, maintenance, and monitoring to prevent leaks, accidents, and other safety issues. The sealing devices at the pipe connections are a crucial part of the pipeline system, ensuring that gas does not leak at the pipe joints.

[0003] A search revealed that the existing patent number CN207921435U discloses a sealing device for a gas pipeline valve, including a pipeline, a valve installed on the pipeline, and sliding sleeves fitted on both sides of the pipeline and the valve. A first protective sleeve and a second protective sleeve are respectively fitted on the two sliding sleeves. The first protective sleeve and the second protective sleeve overlap on opposite sides. The upper and lower ends of one side of the second protective sleeve are fixedly connected with locking blocks, and the two locking blocks are respectively fitted into the locking grooves opened at the upper and lower ends of one side of the first protective sleeve. A circular groove is opened on the inner wall of the locking groove on the side opposite to the pipeline.

[0004] Although the above technical solution can improve the first and second protective sleeves, pulling the pull plate upwards and pushing the first and second protective sleeves relative to each other allows the locking block to engage in the locking groove. Then, releasing the pull plate allows the locking rod to be inserted back into the locking plate under the action of the compression spring. At this time, the first and second protective sleeves can be stably connected, thereby sealing the valve and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system. However, the sealing performance of the above technical solution is poor, that is, it only seals between two gas pipelines. This leads to problems with the sealing performance between the two gas pipelines after a long period of use, increasing the probability of gas leakage in the gas pipeline. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a sealing device for gas pipeline connection, specifically including a first connecting shell 1. A first sealing ring 2 is installed inside the first connecting shell 1. Multiple buffer springs 3 are fixedly connected to the surface of the first connecting shell 1. Second connecting shells 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the buffer springs 3. Third connecting shells 9 are fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of each of the two second connecting shells 4. A U-shaped shell 10 is provided on the outer side of the third connecting shell 9. Two connecting blocks 15 are installed on the surface of the U-shaped shell 10. A fixing screw 11 is installed on the surface of one connecting block 15, and a fixing nut 12 is installed on the surface of the other connecting block 15. A sealing toothed rack 13 is installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped shell 10. In this specific embodiment, the U-shaped shell 10 is connected to the gas pipeline to make the gas pipeline fit together. Then, the fixing nut 12 is rotated. At this time, under the action of the fixing screw 11, the two connecting blocks 15 move inward, thereby causing the U-shaped shell 10 to contract inward. At this time, the U-shaped shell 10 drives the sealing toothed rack 13 to clamp and seal the gas pipeline. At the same time, the first sealing ring 2 will improve the sealing effect of the sealing device.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, the surface of the second connecting shell 4 has two protrusions, which are staggered. The protrusions on the surface of the second connecting shell 4 increase the sealing effect of the second connecting shell 4 on the gas pipeline, and also enhance the protection effect of the buffer spring 3 when it contracts. A second sealing ring 5 is provided inside the second connecting shell 4, and a sealing ring 6 is provided on one side of the second sealing ring 5. The cooperation of the second sealing ring 5 and the sealing ring 6 reduces the gap between the second connecting shell 4 and the first sealing ring 2, thereby increasing the sealing effect of the sealing device.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the surface of the first connecting shell 1 is equipped with multiple fixing bolts 7 for fixing the first sealing ring 2, and the surfaces of the two second connecting shells 4 are each provided with sliding grooves 8 that are adapted to the fixing bolts 7. In this specific embodiment, the fixing bolts 7 facilitate the fixing of the first connecting shell 1 and the first sealing ring 2, and also facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the first sealing ring 2. The sliding grooves 8 facilitate the movement of the second connecting shell 4 under the action of the buffer spring 3, and reduce the probability of the second connecting shell 4 deviating from its trajectory due to movement. The U-shaped shell 10 is provided with a sealing half-ring 14 inside, and the sealing half-ring 14 is located outside the sealing rack 13. The inner wall of the sealing half-ring 14 gradually decreases in size from the outside to the inside, and the size of the inner wall of the sealing half-ring 14 is the same as that of the third connecting shell 9 and the first sealing ring 2. The sealing half-ring 14 facilitates the clamping of the gas pipe onto the inner wall of the U-shaped shell 10, and increases the sealing between the U-shaped shell 10 and the gas pipe.

[0026] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: the U-shaped shell 10 is connected to the gas pipeline and the gas pipeline is fitted together. Then, the fixing nut 12 is rotated. At this time, under the action of the fixing screw 11, the two connecting blocks 15 move inward, thereby causing the U-shaped shell 10 to shrink inward. At this time, the U-shaped shell 10 drives the sealing rack 13 to clamp and seal the gas pipeline. At the same time, the first sealing ring 2 will improve the sealing effect of the sealing device. The sealing half ring 14 makes it easy to clamp the gas pipeline onto the inner wall of the U-shaped shell 10. The fixing bolt 7 fixes the first connecting shell 1 and the first sealing ring 2, and at the same time, it is easy to disassemble and replace the first sealing ring 2. The sliding groove 8 facilitates the movement of the second connecting shell 4 under the action of the buffer spring 3.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
