When two pipelines are connected, flange connection is often used, and the joints are made of cast iron, stainless steel, and steel. Flange connection has the advantage of high connection strength and is widely used in pipeline systems.

[0003] However, stainless steel flange connections have the characteristics of high rigidity, and pipes have the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction. The pipes on both sides of the joint will produce a tensile or extrusive force on the joint. Since the conventional pipe connection structure has a high rigidity, it is very easy to deform and crack.

The main body of the pipe connection structure is composed of the joint 1 and the flange 2. The two ends of the connecting rod 3 are threaded ends, and the connecting rod 3 is arranged in a circumferential array about the joint 1. The deployment premise of the pipe connection structure is that the end of the pipe is inserted into the flared pipe 7, that is, the tail 703 is inserted first, then the extension section 702, and finally the head 701. The head 701 flares the pipe port. When the pipe port is inserted into the joint 1, the outer surface of the expanded pipe port is in close contact with the inner wall of the joint 1, and the full contact is ensured to ensure the sealing.

[0039] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0040] The pipe connection structure is deployed on the premise that the end of the pipe is inserted into the expanded pipe 7, that is, the tail 703 is inserted first, then the extension section 702, and finally the head 701. The head 701 expands the pipe port. When the pipe port is inserted into the joint 1, the outer surface of the expanded pipe port is in close contact with the inner wall of the joint 1, and the full contact ensures the sealing. After the expansion, the outer surface of the pipe port forms a full and close contact with the inner wall of the joint 1.

The flexibility of the corrugated section 6 can reduce the direct impact of vibration on the pipeline connector, thereby improving the seismic performance of the entire pipeline system. The deformation ability of the corrugated section 6 can alleviate the direct effect of tension on the connector to a certain extent, thereby improving the tensile strength of the entire connector. The design of the flange 4 of the connecting rod 3 enhances the bearing capacity of the connecting rod 3 when it is subjected to tension. The flange 4 can disperse the tension and reduce the risk of the connecting rod 3 breaking due to stress concentration.
