Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1-6A flange-based connection structure includes a pipe 1, a pipe 2, a flange 1, a flange 2, and a locking device. The bottom end of the pipe 1 is installed with the flange 1, the top end of the pipe 2 is installed with the flange 2, the flange 1 is provided with a flange hole 1, the flange 2 is provided with a flange hole 6, the flange hole 1 and the flange hole 6 are provided with screws 7, and the locking device includes an annular groove 8, a cylindrical groove 9, a locking block 10, a movable rod 11, a spring 12, a receiving groove 13 and a pull block 14. The middle outer wall of the screw rod 7 is provided with an annular groove 8, the end of the flange plate 2 4 away from the pipe 2 2 is provided with the cylindrical groove 9 penetrating the flange hole 2 6, the movable rod 11 is movably installed in the cylindrical groove 9, the outer wall of the movable rod 11 is sleeved with the spring 12, the cylindrical groove 9 is provided with the receiving groove 13 at one end close to the flange hole 2 6, the locking block 10 is slidably installed in the receiving groove 13, the locking block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable rod 11, and the locking block 10 is adapted to the annular groove 8, The cylindrical groove 9 is provided with a through hole 15 at one end away from the locking block 10, and the movable rod 11 extends to the through hole 15 and the pull block 14 is installed outside. In this embodiment, when it is necessary to connect the pipe 1 and the pipe 2, first align the pipe 1 with the pipe 2, and then manually pull the pull block 14, so that the pull block 14 drives the movable rod 11 to move outward along the through hole 15, and compress the spring 12, so that the locking block 10 enters the receiving groove 13, and then the screw rod 7 is passed through the flange hole 1 and the flange hole 2 at one time, and then when the annular groove on the screw rod 7 is When 8 is aligned with the cylindrical groove 9, manually release the pull block 14. At the moment the pull block 14 is released, the spring 12 stretches to provide an outward thrust for the locking block 10. During the stretching process, the spring 12 drives the movable rod 11 to move in the direction of the screw 7. The movable rod 11 drives the locking block 10 to leave the receiving groove 13 and enter the annular groove 8 opened on the screw 7, thereby locking and limiting the screw 7. When it is necessary to disassemble or adjust the pipeline connection, by pulling the pull block 14, the movable rod 11 and the locking block 10 move into the receiving groove 13 and exit the annular groove 8, thereby releasing the lock.

[0028] In actual use, the sealing performance of the connection is further improved. In this embodiment, a sealing gasket 16 is installed at the bottom end of the pipe 1, and a sealing groove 17 is opened at the top end of the pipe 2. The sealing groove 17 is adapted to the sealing gasket 16. The adaptability design of the sealing gasket 16 and the sealing groove 17 can ensure that the pipe 1 and the pipe 2 are tightly fitted when connected, reduce or eliminate gaps, and thus significantly improve the sealing performance of the connection. This design can effectively prevent liquid or gas leakage at the pipe connection.

[0029] In actual use, in order to further improve the connection strength between flange 3 and pipe 1, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 18 is installed at the connection between flange 3 and pipe 1, and the reinforcing rib 18 can significantly increase the strength and stability of the connection between flange 3 and pipe 1.

[0030] In actual use, the connection strength between flange 2 4 and pipe 2 2 is further improved. In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 19 is installed at the connection between flange 2 4 and pipe 2 2 . The reinforcing rib 19 can significantly increase the strength and stability of the connection between flange 2 4 and pipe 2 2 .

[0031] In actual use, the anti-slip property of the pull block 14 is further improved. In this embodiment, an anti-slip strip 20 is installed on the outer wall of the pull block 14. The anti-slip strip 20 can increase the friction between the pull block 14 and the hand. The design of the anti-slip strip 20 can enable the user to hold the pull block 14 more firmly during operation, reduce hand fatigue, and improve comfort.

[0032] In actual use, the anti-slip property of the protection strip is further improved. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the anti-slip strip 20 is installed with anti-slip patterns. The design of the anti-slip patterns makes the surface of the anti-slip strip 20 have more concave and convex textures. These textures can effectively increase the friction between the anti-slip strip 20, thereby effectively preventing slipping or falling.

[0033] In actual use, the stability of the installation of the screw rod 7 is further ensured. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the screw rod 7 is threadedly installed with a hexagonal nut. The design structure of the hexagonal nut determines that it can provide a stable fastening force, and its six faces provide a larger bearing area, so that the connection between the screw rod 7 and the flange 1 3 and the flange 2 4 is more stable, thereby increasing the stability of the overall structure.

[0034] Preferably, in the present embodiment, the locking block 10 is of arc-shaped design. Since the arc-shaped locking block 10 has a high degree of fit with the annular groove 8, once the locking block 10 enters the annular groove 8 and completes the locking, the contact area therebetween will be relatively large, thereby improving the locking stability. This design can ensure that the locking block 10 is not easily disengaged from the annular groove 8 when subjected to external force or vibration, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the connection.
