Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of compensators, in particular to a bellows compensator. Background Art
[0002] Bellows compensator, also called expansion joint or telescopic joint, is composed of bellows and end pipes, brackets, flanges, ducts and other accessories that constitute its working body. It utilizes the effective expansion and contraction of the bellows, the working body, to absorb the dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines, ducts, containers, etc., or to compensate for the axial, lateral and angular displacements of pipelines, ducts, containers, etc. When the bellows compensator expands and contracts with the bellows, if the bellows expansion and contraction length is too long, the compensator may be stretched too long, thereby exceeding the limit value of the compensator and causing the compensator wall to rupture.
[0003] A search was conducted on the above-mentioned issues and it was found that in the currently disclosed prior art, there is a bellows compensator proposed with publication number CN218972123U. The compensator is constructed by installing a limit rod on the connecting flange, installing a connecting seat between the limit rods, and installing a limit ring on the connecting seat. The limit ring limits the moving distance of the limit rod, thereby limiting the expansion and contraction of the compensator and avoiding excessive expansion and contraction that may cause rupture of the pipe wall.
[0004] However, although the compensator can limit the expansion and contraction length, if the bellows at both ends expand and contract to a large extent, but the compensator has not reached the maximum deformation, the limit ring will limit the expansion and contraction of the compensator, making the expansion and contraction degree of the compensator smaller than the degree of change of the bellows, which may cause the bellows to continue to extend. However, due to the limitation of the limiting ring, the protection of the bellows by the compensator is limited, which may cause damage to the bellows. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model provides a bellows compensator, which solves the problem in the prior art that when the compensator is telescopically limited, if the compensator does not reach the critical point to limit it, it may be difficult to protect the bellows when it is stretched, thereby causing damage to the bellows.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a moving component, which includes a moving block and a pushing rod. Four moving blocks are provided, and the moving blocks are slidably installed on the connecting pipe.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, when the pipe body is deflected up and down by the pressing component, if the pipe body is deflected to the maximum extent, the connecting flange and the pipe body can be pressed down;

The buffer component is provided on the connecting pipe 5, and is used to buffer the compensator after extension. The downward pressure component is provided on the connecting pipe 5, and is used to block the tube body 1 after it deviates up and down.
[0026] In this embodiment, the buffer assembly includes a support plate 101, a telescopic spring 102, a buffer plate 103, a sliding frame 104 and an extrusion plate 105. The support plate 101 is provided with a plurality of support plates, a slide groove is provided on the top of the support plate 101, and the support plate 101 is fixedly installed on the connecting pipe 5. The telescopic spring 102 is provided with a plurality of buffer plates 103, and the buffer plate 103 is fixedly installed on the other end of the telescopic spring 102. The sliding frame 104 is provided with a plurality of support plates 101, and the support plate 101 is fixedly installed on the connecting pipe 5. 04 is provided with several, and one end of the sliding frame 104 is slidably installed on the support plate 101, the extrusion plate 105 is provided with several stems, a sliding groove is opened on the side of the extrusion plate 105, the extrusion plate 105 is in contact with the buffer plate 103, and the other end of the sliding frame 104 is slidably installed on the side of the extrusion plate 105, and the sliding frame 104 slides outside the extrusion plate 105 and the support plate 101, so that the extrusion plate 105 is separated from the buffer plate 103, and the telescopic spring 102 is reset, thereby extruding the connecting flange 4 in the reverse direction.
[0027] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly includes a mounting frame 201 and a pressing ring 202. Two mounting frames 201 are provided, and the mounting frames 201 are fixedly installed on the side of the connecting pipe 5. Four pressing rings 202 are provided. The pressing rings 202 are obliquely installed on the mounting frame 201, and the curvature of the pressing ring 202 is consistent with the curvature of the side of the connecting flange 4. When the pipe body 1 and the connecting flange 4 are offset up and down, they can be pressed down by the pressing ring 202.
[0028] In this embodiment, a moving component is also included, which includes a moving block 301 and a pushing rod 302. Four moving blocks 301 are provided, and the moving blocks 301 are slidably installed on the connecting pipe 5. Several pushing rods 302 are provided, and the pushing rods 302 are fixedly installed on the moving blocks 301. The moving blocks 301 are pushed to move through the connecting flange 4, and then the pushing rods 302 push the sliding frame 104.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the sliding frame 104 is stationary in the sliding grooves of the pressing plate 105 and the supporting plate 101 , the pressing plate 105 presses the buffer plate 103 , and the telescopic spring 102 is in a compressed state.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the compensator protects the bellows, the bellows is first inserted into the compensator. If the bellows fluctuates and expands, the bellows drives the pipe body 1 and the connecting flange 4 to move forward and backward, and the connecting flange 4 pushes the moving block 301 to move on the connecting pipe 5. When the moving block 301 moves to the end of the connecting pipe 5, the pushing rod 302 can just push the sliding frame 104 away from the sliding frame 104 and the extrusion plate 105, so that the telescopic spring 102 rebounds and pushes the buffer plate 103 to support the connecting flange 4 to prevent the pipe body 1 from excessive expansion and contraction and thus causing damage. If the bellows drives the pipe body 1 to deviate up and down, if the deflection reaches the maximum extent, the lower pressure ring 202 can press down on the connecting flange 4 to prevent it from continuing to deviate up and down, thereby causing damage to the pipe body 1. It should be supplemented that when the pipe body 1 deviates up and down, the connecting plate and the fixed plate 3 can be driven to deviate up and down through the telescopic tube 6. Therefore, the compensator can drive and protect the bellows within the maximum extent of bending and expansion.
[0033] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
