Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of limiting flanges, in particular to a needle valve limiting flange structure. Background Art

[0002] A needle valve is a precisely adjustable valve. When connecting a needle valve to an external pipe, a stop flange is typically used. This flange is a pipe connection device primarily used to compensate for pipe displacement caused by factors such as temperature fluctuations, mechanical vibration, and foundation settlement. Its position-limiting function effectively protects the piping system from damage caused by excessive displacement.

[0003] The technical solution disclosed in the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN217736600U controls the telescopic distance of the telescopic tube and the limiting tube in the telescopic mechanism and the limiting mechanism to prevent the pipeline from being disconnected at the flange joint due to excessive displacement. The elastic force generated by the elasticity of the spring during contraction causes the second connecting tube and the first connecting tube to respectively drive the second rubber sleeve and the first rubber sleeve to continuously contact the inner diameter of the pipeline and the valve, thereby preventing the rubber plug at the flange connection between the first flange and the pipeline or the second flange and the valve from being directly impacted, thereby preventing damage and leakage.

[0004] However, this device still has some shortcomings: the limiting flange is connected by a guide bolt, and multiple nuts need to be assembled during operation, which is inconvenient to operate; and the first flange and the second flange in the limiting flange cannot be rotated at any angle. During actual connection, it is easy to be restricted by the flange hole position on the pipeline, causing the needle valve to be misaligned after installation. Utility Model Content

[0013] Preferably, the connecting assembly A includes bolts and nuts, and the bolts pass through flange B and the intermediate pressure cover in sequence along the end of flange B away from flange A, and the nuts are spirally connected to the bolts on the side of the intermediate pressure cover away from flange B and fit with the end face of the intermediate pressure cover.

[0014] Preferably, a sealing ring coaxial with the intermediate gland is provided on the intermediate gland to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the connecting pipe A, the intermediate gland and the connecting pipe B.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a limiting rod, a slider, a wedge-shaped block, a button, and a spring. A limiting ring is provided at one end of the limiting rod.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] By setting the connecting pipe A and flange A into a rotationally connected structure, and the two are connected by a limit assembly, when the rotation limit between the two is released, flange A and connecting pipe A can rotate relative to each other. This structure is conducive to adjusting the flip angle of the needle valve when the flange A on the limit flange deviates from the flange hole on the external pipe, thereby straightening the needle valve; by setting the connecting assembly A and the connecting assembly B, the connecting assembly A is used to connect and lock the flange B and the intermediate pressure cover to improve the sealing between the two and the connecting pipe A, and the connecting assembly B is used to limit the relative sliding of the connecting pipe A and the connecting pipe B to prevent the connecting pipe B from detaching from the connecting pipe A, and the insertion and disassembly operations of the connecting assembly B are simple and convenient.

A sliding groove connected to the inner hole of the flange A2 is provided on the flange A2, and the clamping block 4 is located in the sliding groove and slides with it. Stud 5 is rotatably connected to flange A2. The end of stud 5 extending outside flange A2 is connected to a knob. Stud 5 is inserted into and threadedly connected to block 4. Rotating stud 5 causes block 4 to slide, allowing flange A2 to rotate while releasing the rotational restraints. A connecting pipe B9 is provided on flange B8, which is sleeved over and slidably connected to connecting pipe A1. A coaxial sealing ring 11 is provided on intermediate gland 7 to enhance the sealing between connecting pipe A1, intermediate gland 7, and connecting pipe B9. Connecting assembly A connects flange B8 to retaining ring 6. Connecting assembly A comprises a bolt and a nut. The bolt extends through flange B8 and intermediate gland 7, sequentially, along the end of flange B8 facing away from flange A2. The nut is threadedly connected to the bolt on the side of intermediate gland 7 facing away from flange B8 and engages the end face of intermediate gland 7. The connecting assembly includes a stopper 12, a slider 13, a wedge-shaped block 14, a button 15, and a spring 17. A limiting ring is provided at one end of the limiting rod 12. A cylindrical cavity 121 and a cylindrical groove 123 are provided within the limiting rod 12. Two through-holes 122 are provided on the limiting rod 12, communicating with the cylindrical cavity 121. The two through-holes 122 are radially distributed along the limiting rod 12. A slider 13 is located within and slidably connected to the cylindrical cavity 121. Two sets of tensioning springs are provided within the slider 13, radially distributed along the limiting rod 12. Wedge-shaped clamps 14 are inserted into the slider 13 and connected to the tensioning springs. These wedge-shaped clamps 14 extend through the through-holes 122 on corresponding sides, and the flat surfaces of the two sets of wedge-shaped clamps 14 respectively abut against the side of the retaining ring 6 and the intermediate gland 7 near flange A2. A button 15 is located within and slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 123. A connecting rod 16 is provided on the button 15, which is inserted into the cylindrical cavity 121 and connected to the slider 13. Spring 17 is located within cylindrical groove 123 and is sleeved onto the exterior of connecting rod 16, with its ends respectively contacting the inner wall of cylindrical groove 123 and button 15. Connecting assembly B connects retaining ring 6, intermediate gland 7, and flange B8 to prevent disengagement when connecting pipes A1 and B9 slide relative to each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, during the actual connection, first put the intermediate gland 7 on the connecting pipe A1, then press the sealing ring 11, then put the connecting pipe B9 on the connecting pipe A1 and press the sealing ring 11, then use bolts and nuts to lock the intermediate gland 7 and flange B8 to improve the sealing between the connecting pipe A1, the intermediate gland 7 and the connecting pipe B9, then pass the straight rod body of the limiting rod 12 through the flange B8, the intermediate gland 7 and the fixing ring 6 in sequence until the wedge-shaped block 14 at the middle waist position is in contact with the end of the intermediate gland 7 close to the flange A2 after popping out, and at this time, the wedge-shaped block 14 at the end of the limiting rod 12 away from its limiting ring is close to the fixing ring 6. One end of the proximal flange A2 pops out and fits with its end face, and the assembly of the entire limit flange is completed at this time. When disassembling, you only need to press the limit rod 12 to make the slider 13 slide. At this time, the wedge-shaped block 14 automatically retracts into the slider 13 after the inclined surface hits the edge of the through hole 122. You can push the limit rod 12 to remove it, and then remove the bolts and nuts to disassemble the limit flange. When connecting the needle valve and the external pipeline with this limit flange, if the needle valve is not in the correct position, you can rotate the stud 5 to drive the block 4 to slide out of the tooth groove 3. At this time, you can rotate the needle valve at will until it is straightened. After straightening, push the block 4 into the tooth groove 3 to lock its current state.
