Description
Technical Field

[0028] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model is a leak-proof sleeve expansion joint, comprising an outer sleeve 1, on which a sleeve mechanism 2, a connecting mechanism 3 and a compensating mechanism 4 are arranged;
[0029] The sleeve mechanism 2 includes an outer sleeve assembly, an inner sleeve assembly and a limit assembly. The outer sleeve assembly includes two first sliders 21 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer sleeve 1.

The bottom end of the outer sleeve 1 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner first flange 23. The top and bottom ends of the two slide rods 22 are slidably connected to two fixed blocks 24. Several fixed blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first flange 23. The top and bottom ends of the two slide rods 22 are threadedly connected with first nuts 25.
[0030] Among them Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner sleeve assembly includes an inner sleeve 26 slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 1, and two second sliders 27 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner sleeve 26. The inner walls of the two second sliders 27 are slidably connected to the slide rod 22. Two second flanges 28 are provided at the top of the inner sleeve 26. The top of the inner sleeve 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner second flange 28, and the outer walls of the two second flanges 28 are fixedly connected to a plurality of fixed blocks 24. The limiting assembly includes two limiting blocks 29 fixedly connected to one end of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 26 close to each other.
[0031] By setting up the sleeve mechanism, it is achieved that by utilizing the telescopic sliding between the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 26, the force generated by the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline acts on the sliding of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 26, so that the force of pipeline deformation is dispersed, thereby further reducing the probability of deformation caused by the influence of thermal expansion and contraction on the displacement of the connecting pipeline, making it difficult for the gas generated by the hot fluid to leak from the gap.
[0032] Among them Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting mechanism 3 includes a sealing assembly, a bolt assembly and a connecting pipe assembly. The sealing assembly includes a first sealing gasket 31 which is arranged on a side of the two first flanges 23 close to each other, and a second sealing gasket 32 is arranged on a side of the two second flanges 28 close to each other. The bolt assembly includes a plurality of threaded openings 33 which are opened on the first flange 23, the second flange 28, the first sealing gasket 31 and the second sealing gasket 32. The inner walls of the plurality of threaded openings 33 are threadedly connected with bolts 34, and the bottom ends of the plurality of bolts 34 are threadedly connected with second nuts 35. The connecting pipe assembly includes two connecting pipes 36 which are fixedly connected to the first flange 23 and the second flange 28 on a side away from each other, and the outer walls of the two connecting pipes 36 are opened with a plurality of fixing holes 37.
[0033] By setting up the connection mechanism, a detachable flange is realized, which facilitates separation of the device from the pipeline for transportation or maintenance, and the second sealing gasket 32 and the first sealing gasket 31 strengthen the seal to prevent leakage.
[0034] Among them Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the compensation mechanism includes a buffer component and a blocking component. The buffer component includes a bellows 41 fixedly connected to the first flange 23 and the second flange 28 on a surface close to each other. The blocking component includes an inner sleeve 42 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner second flange 28, and the outer wall of the inner sleeve 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bellows 41.
[0035] By setting up the compensation mechanism, the effect of thermal expansion and contraction in the tube on the device is further reduced by utilizing the scalability of the bellows 41. The inner sleeve 42 is used to prevent the hot fluid from directly contacting the bellows 41, so that the residual part of the hot fluid on the bellows 41 affects the effect of the bellows 41, and is only connected at the feed inlet, so that the hot fluid cannot enter the unconnected part of the inner sleeve 42 and contact the bellows 41.
[0036] A specific application of this embodiment is: by setting a sleeve mechanism, when the bellows 41 is displaced, the movement of the pipeline is limited to an upward and downward telescopic action by the slide bar 22, the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 26, so that the force of thermal expansion and contraction pushes the outer sleeve 1 to telescopically slide under the restriction of the outer wall of the inner sleeve 26 through the limit block 29, the outer sleeve 1 drives the first slider 21, and the inner sleeve 26 drives the second slider 27 to slide on the slide bar 22, and the two ends of the two slide bars 22 are threadedly connected with a first nut 25 for fixing the slide bar 22 to prevent the slide bar 22 from falling, and a fixing block 24 is provided to strengthen the connection between the two first flanges 23, so that by utilizing the telescopic sliding between the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 26, the force generated by the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline acts on the sliding of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 26, so that the force of pipeline deformation is dispersed, thereby further reducing the probability of deformation caused by the influence of thermal expansion and contraction on the displacement of the connected pipeline, making it difficult for the gas generated by the hot fluid to leak from the gap.
[0037] By setting a connecting mechanism, the first sealing gasket 31 and the second sealing gasket 32 are used to seal the connection between the two first flanges 23 and the two second flanges 28 to prevent the hot fluid flowing in the internal pipeline or the generated gas from leaking out. A number of bolts 34, threaded openings 33 and second nuts 35 are set to strengthen the connection between the two flanges and facilitate disassembly, transportation and maintenance. Two connecting pipes 36 are used to connect the feed pipe and the discharge pipe. Fixing holes 37 are set to facilitate fixed connection of the pipes, thereby realizing a detachable flange, which is convenient for separating the device from the pipe for transportation or maintenance. The second sealing gasket 32 and the first sealing gasket 31 strengthen the seal to prevent leakage.
[0038] By setting a compensation mechanism, since the tube is required to meet the expansion and contraction requirements, one end of the inner sleeve 42 is fixedly connected to the second flange 28 close to the feed port, and the other end of the inner sleeve 42 is sliding and not fixed in the bellows 41. The bellows 41 is used to absorb the heat energy generated by the thermal expansion and contraction in the tube and convert it into displacement for compensation, so that the influence of the thermal expansion and contraction in the tube on the device is further reduced by utilizing the expandability of the bellows 41. The inner sleeve 42 is used to prevent the hot fluid from directly contacting the bellows 41, so that the residual part of the hot fluid on the bellows 41 affects the effect of the bellows 41, and the inner sleeve 42 is only connected at the feed port, so that the hot fluid cannot enter at the unconnected part of the inner sleeve 42 and contact the bellows 41.
