Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline connection accessories, in particular to a natural gas pipeline conversion elbow. Background Art

[0002] In the pipeline connection system, the connection methods between adjacent pipelines are usually groove connection (clamp connection) and threaded connection (threaded connection). Groove connection means that a groove is opened on the outer wall of the interface of two pipelines, and the interfaces of the two pipelines are aligned and fastened with a clamp; threaded connection means that one of the two connected pipelines has an external thread and the other has an internal thread. When it is necessary to realize the conversion between groove connection and threaded connection, other accessories need to be added in the prior art to assist, usually through complex structures such as threaded pipe clamps plus threaded flanges to achieve the conversion, and the connection methods used are different according to the actual situation, which will increase the working hours and material costs.

[0003] The publication (announcement) number is CN212929130U, which discloses a conversion elbow and a pipeline conversion assembly, and relates to the technical field of pipeline connection accessories. The conversion elbow includes an elbow body, and the elbow body includes a first joint and a second joint. The inner wall surface of the first joint is provided with an internal thread to match the external thread of the first external pipeline, and the first joint is threadedly connected to the first pipeline, and the outer wall surface of the second joint is provided with a first groove to achieve a groove connection with the second external pipeline. In this way, one end of the conversion elbow is threadedly connected to the adjacent pipeline, that is, a threaded connection, and the other end of the conversion elbow can be grooved with the adjacent pipeline, that is, a clamp connection, to achieve direct conversion of the two connection methods, without the need to use other complex accessories, thereby reducing labor time and material costs.

[0004] Although the above scheme can help the conversion elbow to connect the metal pipe and the plastic hose respectively on the natural gas pipeline through threaded connection and clamp connection, the clamp connection needs to be manually controlled to limit the clamp position when fixing the plastic hose to the conversion elbow. The operation of connecting the conversion elbow to the plastic hose is cumbersome, and a single clamp needs to be turned once to tighten the bolt to clamp and shrink the plastic hose. The conversion elbow cooperates with the external clamp to assemble the plastic hose for multiple sealing operations, which is laborious. For this reason, we propose a natural gas pipeline conversion elbow. Utility Model Content
