Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of backfill pipes for water conservancy and hydropower engineering, in particular to a backfill pipe expansion joint. Background Art

[0002] The backfill pipe of water conservancy and hydropower project refers to the pressure steel pipe buried in the trench and backfilled with soil and rock. For the pipeline laid in the earthquake zone or passing through the active fault zone, necessary expansion joints should be installed along the line to absorb the deformation and displacement caused by temperature and geological reasons.

[0003] Existing technologies are generally divided into two categories: one can only compensate for axial displacement or a small amount of lateral displacement, which cannot fully meet the needs of the project; the other can compensate for displacement in all directions, but uses a solution in which the middle pipe is directly buried in the soil and the two end bellows are located on both sides of the middle pipe. Due to the resistance of soil and rocks, the single section of the bellows is deformed, and the middle pipe and the other end of the bellows are difficult to deform. During use, it is easy for a single bellows to be extremely deformed and the middle pipe to be stuck, which will cause the expansion joint to fail, resulting in a large amount of water medium leakage, endangering personal safety and causing catastrophic consequences. Existing products are increasingly unable to adapt to the development and safety needs of the industry. For this reason, a backfill pipe expansion joint is developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a backfill pipe expansion joint to solve the problem that the existing backfill pipe cannot absorb displacement in any direction and is deformed and damaged after being impacted by geological reasons of the fault zone.

[0007] An external steel pipe is arranged outside the body, and the external steel pipe is connected to the body through a supporting mechanism and a sealing mechanism;

[0008] A sealing mechanism consisting of a polyurethane foam filling layer and a graphite packing sealing filling layer is arranged between the external steel pipe and the body, and inside the first bellows and the second bellows.

[0009] Furthermore, a polyurethane foam filling layer and a graphite packing sealing filling layer are arranged inside the first bellows and the second bellows to prevent internal mud and sand from entering.

[0010] Furthermore, the first bellows and the second bellows are located in the outer steel pipe cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a polyurethane foam filling layer and a graphite packing sealing filling layer are arranged inside the metal structure.

The expansion joint is a compound bellows structure, which can completely absorb displacement in any direction. The integral external steel pipe is adopted, and the bellows deforms evenly and freely in the cavity of the external steel pipe, avoiding the extreme deformation of a single bellows and the obstruction of the intermediate pipe, ensuring that the working state is excellent and no failure or leakage occurs.
