However, these fixing methods have the following disadvantages respectively: 1) Although the screw connection method can ensure the stability of the fixed connection, it is necessary to align the screw holes before screwing, and the installation and disassembly are cumbersome, time-consuming, and laborious; 2) Although the clamping connection method is convenient and fast, the stability of its fixed connection is not high, and it is easy to cause looseness between the joint and the pipe; 3) Although the hoop connection method is convenient, when the hoop needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the hoop will be deformed and affect its reuse. Therefore, the above problems need to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below through specific implementation methods.

[0025] The utility model discloses a quick-install equal-diameter straight-through joint structure, and the utility model discloses a quick-install equal-diameter straight-through joint structure, comprising a housing Ⅰ1, a housing Ⅱ2, a positioning block 8, a ejector pin 6, a first spring 5 and a retaining ring 4; the specific structure is as follows Figures 1 - 5 As shown, shell Ⅰ1 is a hollow cylindrical structure arranged horizontally, and hollow cylindrical shells Ⅱ2 are coaxially arranged on its left and right sides, and the two are integrally formed; the inner diameter of each shell Ⅱ2 matches the outer diameter of the pipe 12, and the interior thereof is connected with the interior of shell Ⅰ1; the outer diameter of each shell Ⅱ2 is larger than the outer diameter of shell Ⅰ1, and the cross-section of the two after integrally forming is I-shaped, thereby forming an equal-diameter straight-through structure.

[0026] like Figures 1 - 5As shown, in the middle position of each housing II2, arc-shaped grooves 10 are coaxially embedded and opened on both the upper and lower sides relative to its inner circumferential surface, and each arc-shaped groove 10 communicates with the interior of the corresponding housing II2; the width of each arc-shaped groove 10 is smaller than the transverse width of the corresponding housing II2, and its inner diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the corresponding housing II2, and its outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the corresponding housing II2.

[0027] In the utility model, an annular groove 9 is coaxially embedded and opened on the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline 12 near its end, and an arc-shaped retaining ring 4 matching the groove 9 is coaxially arranged in each arc-shaped groove 10; as Figures 1 - 5 shown, positioning blocks 8 are respectively screwed and arranged at the upper and lower ends of the outer circumferential surface of each housing II2, and an internal thread hole 11 is vertically embedded in the middle position of the outer surface of each positioning block 8, and it is ensured that the internal thread hole 11 does not extend out of the inner surface of the corresponding positioning block 8; each positioning block 8 is of a cylindrical structure and is arranged along the radial direction of the housing II2. A circular boss is coaxially attached to the inner surface of each positioning block 8, and each circular boss is integrally formed with the corresponding positioning block 8; the diameter of each circular boss is smaller than the diameter of the corresponding positioning block 8, and an external thread is provided on its outer circumferential surface; each positioning block 8 is respectively screwed and fixed to the corresponding position on the outer circumferential surface of the corresponding housing II2 through the boss, and it is necessary to ensure that its boss part extends into the corresponding arc-shaped groove 10 and is respectively arranged at intervals outside the corresponding retaining ring 4.

[0028] In the utility model, a T-shaped thimble 6 is also coaxially slidably sleeved in the internal thread hole 11 of each positioning block 8, as Figures 1 - 5 shown, the small-diameter end of each thimble 6 extends along the radial direction of the housing II2 into the corresponding arc-shaped groove 10 and is screwed and fixed to the middle position of the outer arc surface of the corresponding retaining ring 4; a first spring 5 is coaxially sleeved between the small-diameter end of each thimble 6 and the corresponding retaining ring 4 relative to the positioning block 8. After the pipeline 12 is coaxially sleeved in the corresponding housing II2, the retaining ring 4 is clamped in the corresponding groove 9 by the spring force of the first spring 5, and then the pipeline 12 is connected to the corresponding housing II2; wherein, the diameter of the small-diameter end of each thimble 6 is smaller than the diameter of the corresponding circular boss, and the sliding of the thimble 6 towards the center direction of the corresponding housing II2 is limited by the positioning block 8; the outer diameter of the large-diameter end of each thimble 6 is smaller than the diameter of the corresponding internal thread hole 11, and it is necessary to ensure that the internal thread hole 11 does not interfere with the sliding of the thimble 6 in the corresponding positioning block 8 along the radial direction of the housing II2.

[0029] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, the width of each retaining ring 4 matches the diameter of the corresponding circular boss and also matches the width of the groove 9 of the pipeline 12. It is necessary to ensure that after the positioning block 8 is disassembled from the corresponding housing II 2, the retaining ring 4 is disengaged from the corresponding housing II 2 with the positioning block 8 through the ejector pin 6. The inner arc surface of each retaining ring 4 is an inner conical surface that matches the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline 12. The diameter on the side away from the housing I 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipeline 12, and the diameter on the side close to the housing I 1 is smaller than the outer diameter of the pipeline 12. Thus, when the pipeline 12 is coaxially inserted into the corresponding housing II 2, the retaining ring 4 is pushed away from the pipeline 12 to compress the first spring 5, and when the groove 9 moves to a position relative to the retaining ring 4 along with the pipeline 12, the retaining ring 4 is clamped in the groove 9 of the pipeline 12 by the spring force of the first spring 5.

[0030] As Figures 1 - 5 shown in the figure, inside the housing I 1, sealing rings 3 that match the pipeline 12 are coaxially sleeved at left and right intervals symmetrically. The installation position of each sealing ring 3 needs to ensure that when the retaining ring 4 is clamped in the groove 9, the end of the pipeline 12 is coaxially inserted into the corresponding sealing ring 3.

[0031] As Figures 1 - 5 shown in the figure, inside the internal threaded hole 11 of each positioning block 8, a positioning bolt 7 that matches the internal threaded hole 11 is coaxially screwed. By the abutting contact between each positioning bolt 7 and the large-diameter end face of the corresponding ejector pin 6, the ejector pin 6 is limited, thus ensuring that the retaining ring 4 is always clamped in the groove 9 of the pipeline 12 and guaranteeing the stability of the connection between the pipeline 12 and the joint.

[0032] The technical solution of the present utility model is not only applicable to equal-diameter straight-through joints, but also applicable to different-diameter straight-through joints, 90° elbows, 45° elbows, and straight tee joints, etc. The principle is similar to that of this application, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0033] The working principle of the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 5 shown in the figure, includes the following steps:

[0034] Step 1: First, loosen the positioning bolt 7 to create a gap between it and the large-diameter end face of the corresponding ejector pin 6, and ensure that the ejector pin 6 can slide within the gap range.

[0035] Step 2: Then, coaxially insert one end of the pipeline 12 with the groove 9 into the corresponding housing II 2. At this time, the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline 12 contacts the inner arc surface of the corresponding retaining ring 4, and as the pipeline 12 continues to be inserted, it squeezes the corresponding retaining ring 4, causing the retaining ring 4 to move radially along the housing II 2 towards the corresponding positioning block 8, thereby compressing the corresponding first spring 5.

[0036] Step three: When the end of the pipe 12 is coaxially inserted into the corresponding sealing ring 3, the groove 9 of the pipe 12 is opposite to the retaining ring 4. At this time, under the action of the spring force of the first spring 5, the retaining ring 4 moves radially toward the pipe 12 along the shell Ⅱ2 and is clamped in the groove 9 of the pipe 12, thereby connecting the pipe 12 with the corresponding shell Ⅱ2.

[0037] Step 4: Then tighten the positioning bolt 7 to make it tightly contact with the end face of the large diameter end of the corresponding ejector pin 6, thereby limiting the position of the ejector pin 6 to ensure that the retaining ring 4 is always clamped in the groove 9 of the pipe 12.

[0038] Step 5: When the pipeline 12 needs to be disassembled, first loosen the positioning bolt 7, then loosen the positioning block 8, and then the positioning block 8 can be disassembled from the corresponding shell Ⅱ2, and the retaining ring 4 is separated from the corresponding shell Ⅱ2 along with the positioning block 8 through the ejector pin 6; then the pipeline 12 can be separated from the corresponding shell Ⅱ2.

[0039] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0040] (1) The utility model uses the first spring 5 and the retaining ring 4 in cooperation, so that the retaining ring 4 can be clamped in the groove 9 of the pipe 12, thereby connecting the pipe 12 and the joint together;

[0041] (2) The utility model tightens the positioning bolt 7 to hold the ejector pin 6, thereby facilitating the positioning of the ejector pin 6, ensuring that the retaining ring 4 is always clamped in the groove 9 of the pipe 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the pipe 12 and the joint;

[0042] (3) The present invention uses a screw connection design of the positioning block 8 to facilitate the removal of the positioning block 8 so as to separate the retaining ring 4 from the groove 9 of the pipe 12, thereby separating the pipe 12 from the joint.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering and technical personnel in the field should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical contents for which protection is sought in the present invention have been fully recorded in the technical requirements.
