Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bellows, in particular to a pressure-balanced bellows. Background Art

[0002] Pressure-balanced bellows are often used as compensation elements between two straight pipe sections of fixed piers (seats, frames). In the pipeline system, the expansion joint of the pressure-balanced bellows mainly adopts the principle of Pascal statics to make the internal pressure self-balanced. When using bellows, it is often necessary to splice multiple sections of bellows. The common docking method is to connect and fix the two bellows at the interface with a threaded sleeve. This connection method is relatively simple, so that after a long period of use, the interface is easy to loosen, which directly reduces the connection strength between the two bellows, thereby affecting the normal use of the bellows.

[0026] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with the help of accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 The embodiment of the utility model is shown. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a pressure-balanced bellows, comprising a bellows 1 and a docking mechanism at one end thereof, the docking mechanism comprising a carrier plate 2 fixedly arranged at one end of the bellows 1, the outer end surface of the carrier plate 2 being respectively fixedly connected with an outer clamping plate 3 and an inner clamping plate 5 from the outside to the inside, the outer surface of the outer clamping plate 3 being a threaded structure and being sleeved with a threaded sleeve 4, the outer surface of the outer clamping plate 3 being equidistantly provided with a plurality of first limiting grooves 31 along its radial direction, each of the first limiting grooves 31 being movably clamped with a first The first locking ball 32 is located at the leftmost position of the first limiting groove 31 in the initial state. At this time, the first locking ball 32 can rotate at any angle in the first limiting groove 31 and will not fall into the gap between the outer clamping plate 3 and the inner clamping plate 5. Since the first limiting groove 31 gradually widens from left to right, when the first locking ball 32 moves from left to right in the first limiting groove 31, it will gradually move into the gap between the outer clamping plate 3 and the inner clamping plate 5. The movement of the first locking ball 32 is to push it by rotating the threaded sleeve 4; the inner clamping plate 5 The outer surface is provided with a plurality of second limiting grooves 51 equidistantly along its radial direction, and a second clamping ball 52 is movably clamped in each second limiting groove 51. In the initial state, the second clamping ball 52 is at the rightmost end position of the second limiting groove 51 and can be rotated at any angle. At this time, the second clamping ball 52 will not fall into the internal space of the inner clamping plate 5, and at this time, the second clamping ball 52 cannot move to the left side of the second limiting groove 51. A gap is provided between the outer clamping plate 3 and the inner clamping plate 5 for clamping the corrugated pipe, and the length of the outer clamping plate 3 is greater than that of the inner clamping plate 5. The threaded sleeve 4 is less than the length of the outer clamping plate 3 and greater than the length of the first limiting groove 31. The number of the first limiting grooves 31 and the second limiting grooves 51 are the same and correspond to each other inside and outside. The first limiting grooves 31 and the second limiting grooves 51 have the same shape and are both narrow on the left and wide on the right. The rightmost edge position of the first limiting groove 31 is located on the left side of the rightmost edge position of the second limiting groove 51, so that after the corrugated tube is fixed, the first clamping ball 32 and the second clamping ball 52 are in a staggered position, which helps to increase the extrusion force of the two on the corrugated tube, thereby improving the connection strength of the corrugated tube.

[0028] Furthermore, a plurality of notches 21 are equidistantly provided on the side surface of the carrier 2. The width of the notches 21 at the edge of the carrier 2 is narrower than the width at the inner position of the carrier 2, so that the space at the opening of the notch 21 is smaller than the width at the inner center position thereof. A shaft sleeve 41 is rotatably connected to one side of the threaded sleeve 4. The shaft sleeve 41 is movably sleeved on the outside of the outer clamping plate 3. A plurality of tie rods 42 are hingedly connected to one side surface of the shaft sleeve 41 through a plurality of hinge seats. Each tie rod 42 is movably inserted into the notch 21, and a stopper ball 43 is fixedly connected to one end of each tie rod 42. When the pull rod 42 is clamped in the notch 21, first a certain pressure is applied along the opening of the notch 21 to the pull rod 42 so that the pull rod 42 can move inside the notch 21 when it is clamped in the center of the notch 21. The diameter of the blocking ball 43 at one end of the pull rod 42 is much larger than the size of the notch 21. Therefore, when the pull rod 42 is clamped in the notch 21, the movement range of the pull rod 42 and the threaded sleeve 4 is limited to a fixed value range by the blocking ball 43, thereby preventing the threaded sleeve 4 from being displaced too much on the outer surface of the outer splint 3 and affecting the optimal fixed position of the bellows.

[0029] When the above embodiment is working, when docking two bellows 1, first insert one end of a bellows into the gap between the outer clamping plate 3 and the inner clamping plate 5 and extend it to the deepest point, and make the wall of the bellows between the first clamping ball 32 and the second clamping ball 52, and then clamp each pull rod 42 into the notch 21 at its corresponding position, and then rotate the threaded sleeve 4 to make it move linearly from left to right on the outer surface of the outer clamping plate 3. When the threaded sleeve 4 moves to the right, it will first push a plurality of first clamping balls 32, and the first clamping balls 32 move from left to right along the inside of the first limiting groove 31, so that the first clamping balls 32 are The ball 32 gradually tilts into the gap between the outer clamping plate 3 and the inner clamping plate 5, so that multiple first clamping balls 32 gradually clamp the inserted bellows. When the bellows is clamped, the first clamping ball 32 and the second clamping ball 52 are in an inner and outer staggered position, which helps to increase the squeezing force of the two on the bellows, thereby improving the connection strength of the bellows. During the movement of the threaded sleeve 4, the shaft sleeve 41 is also driven to move. The movement range of the pull rod 42 and the threaded sleeve 4 is limited to a fixed value range by the blocking ball 43, thereby preventing the threaded sleeve 4 from displacing too much on the outer surface of the outer clamping plate 3 and affecting the optimal fixed position of the bellows.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
