DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] As Figure 1 shown, the pipe connection structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pipe 4 and an interface assembly.

[0020] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the outer peripheral surface of the interface end of the pipe 4 is provided with a groove and a threaded connection area. In the axial direction of the pipe 4, the groove is spaced apart from the interface of the pipe 4, and the threaded connection area is located on the side of the groove away from the interface. The interface assembly includes a first flange 1, a limit gasket 2, and a second flange 3. The first flange 1 is threadedly connected to the threaded connection area, the second flange 3 is threadedly connected to the interface end and is spaced apart from the first flange 1 in the axial direction of the pipe 4. The limit gasket 2 includes a limit portion 21 and a clamping portion 22. The limit portion 21 is fitted in the groove, and the clamping portion 22 is clamped between the first flange 1 and the second flange 3. The first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are connected by bolts, and the second flange 3 is further provided with an assembly hole for connecting to the second flange 3 on other pipes 4.

[0021] It can be understood that after the interface assembly is assembled with the pipe 4, the first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are connected, the limit gasket 2 is clamped in the middle of the two, and both the first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are threadedly connected to the pipe 4. The limit portion 21 of the limit gasket 2 extends into the groove. When the first flange 1 has a tendency to slide outwards, the limit gasket 2 can play a blocking role, thus preventing the first flange 1 from falling off outwards. Especially when applied to non-metallic pipes 4, it can well solve the problem of interface detachment caused by different expansion rates and pressing degrees of different materials (metal and non-metal).

[0022] In the pipe connection structure of the embodiment of the present utility model, the outer peripheral surface of the interface end of the pipe 4 is provided with a groove and a threaded connection area. In the axial direction of the pipe 4, the groove is spaced apart from the interface of the pipe 4, and the threaded connection area is located on the side of the groove away from the interface. The interface assembly includes a first flange 1, a limit gasket 2, and a second flange 3. The first flange 1 is threadedly connected to the threaded connection area, the second flange 3 is threadedly connected to the interface end and is spaced apart from the first flange 1 in the axial direction of the pipe 4. The limit gasket 2 includes a limit portion 21 and a clamping portion 22. The limit portion 21 is fitted in the groove, and the clamping portion 22 is clamped between the first flange 1 and the second flange 3. The first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are connected by bolts, and the second flange 3 is further provided with an assembly hole for connecting to the second flange 3 on other pipes 4. Thus, by clamping the limit gasket 2 between the first flange 1 and the second flange 3, and the limit portion 21 of the limit gasket 2 is fitted in the groove on the pipe 4, the limit gasket 2 can be used to prevent the first flange 1 from sliding outwards, thereby realizing the anti-detachment function and avoiding failure forms such as leakage and detachment at the interface of the pipe 4.

[0023] Furthermore, the side surface of the first flange 1 facing the limit gasket 2 abuts against the limit portion 21. Thus, as long as the first flange 1 has a tendency to shake and fall off outwards a little, the limit gasket 2 can block the first flange 1 to ensure the sealing effect of the connection.

[0024] Furthermore, the threads of the first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are in opposite directions. It is understood that after assembly, the first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are connected as a whole by bolts, and the opposite directions of the threads can avoid circumferential sliding and ensure the sealing of the interface.

[0025] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the inner circumference of the interface end of the pipe 4 has an internal thread, the second flange 3 includes an inner cylinder 33 fitted in the pipe 4 and a flange portion connected to the inner cylinder 33 and located outside the pipe 4, the outer circumference of the inner cylinder 33 has an external thread fitted with the internal thread, and the flange portion is connected to the first flange 1. In other words, the first flange 1 and the second flange 3 are connected to the pipe 4 from the inside and outside, respectively. Compared with the single-side connection, the threaded area is arranged on both sides, which can reduce the length of the threaded area and avoid the interface structure occupying too long an axial space on the pipe 4.

[0026] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the inner circumference of the interface end of the pipe 4 has an annular groove, the bottom wall of the annular groove is provided with an internal thread and the bottom wall of the annular groove is connected to the end face of the interface end of the pipe 4, and the inner cylinder 33 is fitted in the annular groove. Therefore, by providing an annular groove on the inner circumference of the interface of the pipe 4 and fitting the connecting portion 11 of the second flange 3 and the pipe 4 in the annular groove, the connection structure of the two does not occupy the axial space inside the pipe 4, avoiding damage to the original flow surface of the pipe 4, and the end wall of the annular groove and the end of the inner cylinder 33 can stop to play the role of assembly limit.

[0027] Furthermore, the flange portion includes an outer cylinder 34 and a flange sheet, the outer cylinder 34 is connected to the inner cylinder 33 and extends along the axial direction of the pipe 4, the flange sheet is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 34, the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 34 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner cylinder 33, and the end surface of the outer cylinder 34 facing the inner cylinder 33 is stopped against the end surface of the interface end of the pipe 4. Therefore, the connection between the inner cylinder 33 and the outer cylinder 34 can form a step structure, and the step structure can just clamp the end surface of the main interface end, thereby realizing assembly positioning.

[0028] In some embodiments, the flange includes a left flange 31 and a right flange 32. The left flange 31 and the first flange 1 clamp the limiting gasket 2. The right flange 32 is arranged at a distance on the side of the left flange 31 away from the limiting gasket 2, and the assembly hole is arranged on the right flange 32. In other words, two flanges are constructed on the second flange 3, one for connecting the first flange 1, and the other for connecting the flange on the other pipeline 4. The two sets of connections do not interfere with each other, and the assembly is stable and the disassembly is convenient.

[0029] Preferably, a seal 5 is provided between the inner cylinder 33 and the pipeline 4 and between the first flange 1 and the pipeline 4 .

[0030] Preferably, six sealing gaskets are provided between the inner cylinder 33 and the end wall of the annular groove. Thus, the sealing member 5 and the six sealing gaskets can improve the sealing performance of each connection contact surface and avoid leakage at the interface.

[0031] Preferably, the sealing member 5 is an annular sealing ring.

[0032] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the groove is an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction of the pipeline 4. The limiting gasket 2 includes a first semi-ring piece and a second semi-ring piece, and the first semi-ring piece and the second semi-ring piece are butted to surround the entire circumference of the pipeline 4. In other words, the limiting gasket 2 is divided into two independent semi-annular shapes. During assembly, it can be snapped into the groove along the opening to achieve the assembly of the limiting gasket 2.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first flange 1 includes a connecting portion 11, a flange ring 13, and a bending plate 12. The connecting portion 11 is threadedly connected to the pipeline 4. The flange ring 13 is located on the side of the connecting portion 11 facing the second flange 3 and is connected to the first flange 1. The bending plate 12 is connected between the connecting portion 11 and the flange ring 13, and the bending plate 12 includes a first plate body and a second plate body connected at an angle. The length of the threaded connection area in the axial direction of the pipeline 4 is greater than the length of the connecting portion 11. Thus, by setting the threaded connection area longer than the connecting portion 11, it is convenient for the assembly of the first flange 1. The bending plate 12 is configured as two plates at an angle, which can enhance the structural strength of the first flange 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the limiting gasket 2 further includes an inclined plate 23. The inclined plate 23 extends obliquely outward in the direction towards the second flange 3. Its inner end is connected to the limiting portion 21, and its outer end is connected to the clamping portion 22. The clamping portion 22 stands between the flange ring 13 of the first flange 1 and the left flange piece 31 of the second flange 3.
