As a flexible compensating element that can freely expand and contract, it has reliable operation, good performance and compact structure, and is widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy, nuclear energy and other fields.

[0003] When installing a metal compensator, it is necessary to adjust the tie rod nut for pre-stretching or pre-compression according to the working environment to increase the deformation margin of the metal compensator and adapt its structural dimensions to the current installation dimensions. The Chinese utility model patent with application number 202321316635.3 discloses a compensator with an adjustment function, which divides the metal compensator into an assembly type and adds an elastic compensation ring between the bellows to improve its deformation capacity and facilitate the adjustment of the installation dimensions. However, its multi-layer structure increases the risk of leakage. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust each tie rod separately, which is cumbersome to operate and cannot ensure the uniformity of the action length of all tie rods, which may cause the flange surface to deviate and cause leakage.
