[0041] Example 1
[0042] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides a sealing mechanism, the device comprising:
[0043] The protection unit 100 includes a sealing shell 101, and a fastening assembly 102 disposed on the sealing shell 101; and the sealing unit 200 includes a sealing ring 1 201 disposed on the sealing shell 101, a sealing ring 202 disposed on the sealing ring 1 201, and a fixing assembly 203 disposed on the sealing ring 1 201. The fastening assembly 102 is used to fix the housing, the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202 on the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303, and the fixing assembly 203 is used to lock the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202 to increase the sealing performance between the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202. The surfaces of the sealing ring 1 201, the sealing ring 202 and the housing are coated with anti-corrosion materials. The sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202 are matched with the housing to protect the connection between the flange and the pipeline 301 to prevent corrosive media from entering the surface of the flange, thereby avoiding damage to the flange surface and affecting the sealing performance of the flange.
[0044] The fastening assembly 102 includes an expansion sleeve 102b disposed on the side of the sealing ring 1 201, a bolt 102a disposed on the expansion sleeve 102b, and a clamping block 102c disposed on the expansion sleeve 102b. The fastening assembly 102 is used to fix the housing on the flange. By rotating the bolt 102a, the opening and closing angle between the expansion sleeve 102b is increased, so that the clamping block 102c is clamped on the flange. The flange here refers to the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303.
[0045] The fixing assembly 203 includes a fixing block 1 203a disposed on the sealing ring 1 201, a fixing block 203b disposed on the sealing ring 202, and a locking piece 203c disposed on the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202. The locking piece 203c includes a bolt 102a and a nut, and the bolt 102a passes through the fixing block 1 203a and the fixing block 203b and the nut to be connected, and the sealing degree between the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 2 202 is increased by rotating the bolt 102a.
[0046] During use, the operator will first connect flange 1 302 and flange 2 303. Flange 1 302 is provided with a hole groove, and flange 2 303 is provided with a connecting column matching the hole groove, so that when the operator installs flange 1 302 and flange 2 303, flange 1 302 will not be displaced on flange 2 303. After the operator installs flange 1 302 on flange 2 303, the expansion sleeve 102b is inserted into flange 1 302 and flange 2 303, and the opening and closing angles between the expansion sleeves 102b are adjusted by rotating the bolts 102a on the expansion sleeve 102b, and the clamping block 102c at one end of the expansion sleeve 102b is firmly clamped on the flange, and the expansion sleeve 102b and the clamping block 102c are used as fulcrums. By adjusting the locking piece 203c on the fixing assembly 203, the clamping force between the fixing block 1 203a and the fixing block 203b is increased, thereby increasing the sealing between the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202.
[0047] The sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 202 fit tightly on the surface of the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303, and cooperate with the shell to form a protective layer for the connection between the flange and the pipeline 301. This design effectively prevents the corrosive medium from penetrating into the flange surface, thereby reducing the damage that the flange may suffer due to corrosion and ensuring that the sealing performance of the flange is not damaged. In this way, the combination of the sealing ring and the shell not only improves the durability of the flange connection, but also maintains the sealing integrity of the entire pipeline and flange connection.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: it also includes,
[0050] The flange unit 300 includes a pipe 301 disposed on one side of the fastening assembly 102, a flange 1 302 disposed on the pipe 301, a flange 2 303 disposed on the flange 1 302, and a slot assembly 304 disposed on the flange 1 302. The slot assembly 304 is used to provide a space for the fastening assembly 102 to work, and the slot assembly 304 is disposed on both the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303.
[0051] Compared with Example 1, further, the slot assembly 304 includes a positioning slot 304a provided on the flange 1 302, a block slot 304b provided on the positioning slot 304a, and a cylindrical pad 304c provided on the positioning slot 304a. The positioning slot 304a is used to provide a working space for the expansion sleeve 102b, the block slot 304b is used to provide a working space for the block 102c, and the cylindrical pad 304c is used to increase the sealing between the positioning slot 304a and the expansion sleeve 102b to prevent the corrosive medium from entering the interior of the flange through the positioning slot 304a.
[0052] Among them, a sealing gasket 305 is provided on the flange 1 302, a convex ring 306 is provided on the sealing gasket 305, and a mounting hole 307 is provided on the sealing gasket 305. The sealing gasket 305 is used to increase the sealing performance of the surface connection between the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303. The flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303 are both provided with grooves matching the convex ring 306, which can prevent the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303 from being displaced from between the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303 during the installation process, thereby increasing the sealing performance between the flange 1 302 and the flange 2 303. The mounting hole 307 on the sealing gasket 305 facilitates the installation of the connecting column on the flange 2 303 on the flange 1 302 through the sealing gasket 305.
[0053] During use, the operator will first install the sealing gasket 305 on flange 1 302, and then install flange 2 303 on flange 1 302. Specifically, the convex ring 306 on the sealing gasket 305 will be placed on the groove on flange 1 302, the connecting column on flange 2 303 will pass through the mounting hole 307 on the sealing gasket 305, and flange 2 303 will be installed on the surface of flange 1 302. The provision of the sealing gasket 305 increases the sealing of the connecting surface between flange 1 302 and flange 2 303, effectively preventing corrosive media from penetrating into the flange surface, thereby reducing the damage that the flange may suffer due to corrosion.
[0054] Then, the operator aligns and places the expansion sleeve 102b on the housing into the positioning groove 304a, and adjusts the angle of the expansion sleeve 102b by rotating the bolt 102a to ensure that the clamping block 102c is correctly embedded in the clamping block groove 304b. By using the expansion sleeve 102b and the clamping block 102c as fulcrums and adjusting the fasteners on the fixing assembly 203, the clamping force between the fixing block 1 203a and the fixing block 2 203b is enhanced, thereby improving the sealing effect between the sealing ring 1 201 and the sealing ring 2 202.
[0055] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 8 , which is the third embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: a pipeline control valve, further comprising,

The pressure sensor 501, the humidity sensor 503, and the control system add functions such as real-time monitoring, automatic flow cut-off protection, and intelligent control, and cooperate with the use of the valve control unit 400 to effectively solve the problem of coolant leakage caused by water cooling system failure, causing equipment damage and safety risks.
[0059] Compared with Example 2, further, the valve control assembly 403 includes a top plate 403a disposed on the valve housing 402, a top cover 403b disposed on the top plate 403a, and a fixing bolt 403c disposed on the top cover 403b.

The overall valve control assembly 403 is used to adjust the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline 301 to ensure that the medium passes through the pipeline 301 at the required speed and amount.
[0060] Among them, the valve housing 402 is provided with a valve seat 404, the valve seat 404 is provided with a supporting bottom plate 405, and the valve housing 402 is provided with a connecting fixture 406.

[0061] During use, the pressure sensor 501 installed on the pipeline 301 and the humidity sensor 503 inside the inverter monitor the pressure and flow of the pipeline 301 and the humidity inside the inverter in real time to ensure that the fault can be quickly discovered and handled when it occurs. Once the abnormal conditions such as the serious mismatch between the outlet water pressure of the inverter and the inlet water pressure, and the sudden increase in the humidity inside the inverter are detected, it can be initially suspected that the water pipeline inside the inverter is broken. The system can automatically close the control valve, cut off the flow of cooling water, prevent the cooling water from further flowing into the inverter, and protect the equipment from damage.
[0062] The pressure sensor 501 and the water inlet and outlet control valves can be connected to the main control system of the wind turbine, and the main control logic can be improved and optimized to have intelligent control functions, and can make judgments and decisions according to the preset control strategy to achieve automatic management. At the same time, the system can also automatically record fault information and send it to the remote monitoring center or operation and maintenance personnel through the communication interface, so as to facilitate timely detection and handling of faults. It can significantly reduce the downtime and maintenance costs of wind turbines caused by water cooling system failures, and improve the operating efficiency and safety of wind farms.
