Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of expansion joints, in particular to a corrugated expansion joint convenient for adjusting the length. Background Technique
[0002] An expansion joint refers to a flexible element that can effectively compensate for axial deformation. For example, the expansion joint welded on the shell of a fixed tube-sheet heat exchanger has a large axial flexibility and is easy to deform. It can compensate for the thermal expansion difference between the tube and the shell due to different wall temperatures, reduce their axial loads, thereby reducing the temperature difference stress of the tube, tube sheet and shell, and avoiding strength failure, instability failure and tube pull-off failure. There are many types of expansion joints, and the commonly used ones include wave-shaped, ring-plate welded and jacketed structures, etc. Among them, the wave-shaped expansion joint is the most widely used.
[0003] However, for the expansion joints on the current market, to protect the expansion joints, screw rods are usually connected between the flanges at both ends of the expansion joint and nuts are screwed on them to adjust and control the expansion and contraction length of the expansion joint. However, the method of screwing the nut on the screw rod is not only cumbersome to operate, but also the expansion joint will continuously expand and contract and squeeze the nut on the screw rod during use, so the nut is prone to displacement. Therefore, a corrugated expansion joint convenient for adjusting the length is provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve the problems in the above background technique, the technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problems is: a corrugated expansion joint convenient for adjusting the length, which includes: an expansion joint main body, a first flange is arranged at one end of the expansion joint main body, a second flange is arranged at the other end of the expansion joint main body, a first hole seat is welded on the circumferential outer side of the second flange, a second hole seat is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the first flange, a limiting rod for adjusting the expansion and contraction length range of the expansion joint penetrates between the first hole seat and the second hole seat, a rack groove is opened on the circumferential outer side of the limiting rod, an adjusting sleeve is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the limiting rod, a chute is opened on the inner side of the adjusting sleeve opposite to the rack groove, and the adjusting sleeve is connected with a locking mechanism through the chute.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the number of the rack grooves is two, the first hole seat corresponds to the second hole seat, and the number of both the first hole seat and the second hole seat is four.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the inner diameter of the adjusting sleeve is the same as the outer diameter of the limiting rod, and a lining sleeve is sleeved inside the expansion joint main body.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a welding joint is welded at one end of the lining sleeve inside the second flange, and the lining sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second flange through the welding joint.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the locking mechanism includes a limit block, a pull rod, a tooth block, and a spring. The limit block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute in a fitting manner. The tooth block is arranged at one end of the limit block, the pull rod is arranged at the other end of the limit block, and a spring is sleeved on one end of the pull rod located inside the chute.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a sphere is arranged at one end of the pull rod away from the limit block, and the tooth block penetrates through the adjusting sleeve and extends into the rack groove.
[0010] The present utility model has the following advantages: For the present utility model, only need to manually pull the pull rod on the corresponding adjusting sleeve outwards, then the tooth block can be far away from the rack groove and stop biting, and further, the adjusting sleeve can be moved freely along the limit rod, which is convenient and fast. Moreover, the situation of displacement that may occur in the traditional threaded manner is effectively avoided by the way that the tooth block bites the rack groove. At the same time, the rack groove is embedded inside the limit rod, effectively avoiding contact with the first hole seat and the second hole seat and causing wear. Description of the Drawings
