Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline connection joint structures, and particularly relates to a flexible joint of a manifold. Background Art
[0002] The manifold is the main component for the inlet and outlet of indoor floor heating. Connecting pipelines to the manifold and the water collector realizes the function of pipeline circulation connection. Only in this way can hot water be injected into the pipeline and circulated under the ground to achieve the function of heating the whole house.
[0003] At present, the connection between the pipeline and the manifold is carried out through traditional connectors. The traditional connectors are locked and fixed by screws. During the screwing process, the threads on the plastic pipe are easily damaged, which will cause the pipeline to be stuck on the manifold and require disassembly and rework, delaying the overall laying time. Therefore, a flexible joint of a manifold is proposed. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is: a flexible joint of a manifold, including a connector. Fixed rings are fixedly connected to the edges near both ends of the connector. An extrusion ring is arranged on one side of the fixed ring. Screws are evenly inserted and connected between the extrusion ring and the fixed ring. Four shrinkage plates are evenly distributed between the fixed ring and the extrusion ring. A clamping arc plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each shrinkage plate. An anti-detachment gasket is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping arc plate far away from the shrinkage plate. An arc positioning ring is telescopically inserted between the four shrinkage plates.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, sleeve rings are evenly fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed ring far away from the connector. One end of the screw passes through the fixed ring and the extrusion ring and is threadedly inserted into the middle of the sleeve ring. The relative inner parts at the bottom of the connector and the fixed ring are of an inclined structure. The shrinkage plate is of a conical structure and fits with the inner wall of the fixed ring.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, an activity groove is opened on the side wall of the fixed ring opposite to the shrinkage plate. A slider is slidably connected in the activity groove. One end of the slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of one side of the shrinkage plate. A spring is fixedly connected to one end in the activity groove. The spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of one side of the slider through its one end.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, an annular partition is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the connector. Sealing gaskets are fixedly connected to the side walls far away from each other of the partition, and the sealing gaskets are in contact with the ends of the pipelines extending into the connector.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the connector is provided with a water divider and a water collector through one end, the water divider and the water collector are parallel structures, the water divider and the water collector are connected through a pipe, the bottom side walls of the water divider and the water collector are evenly fixedly connected with branch pipes, and the connector is detachably connected to the branch pipes through one end thereof.
[0009] The utility model has the following advantages: the pipeline is connected to the water distributor and the water collector through the connector. Because the connector is used as a transit connection component, when a jamming problem occurs, the connector can be directly removed from the water distributor or the water collector, so that the problematic part can be replaced in time, which improves the convenience of maintenance and thus improves the laying efficiency. Secondly, the connector is not a traditional threaded connection, which can avoid jamming problems caused by thread slippage or thread breakage, thereby increasing practicality and reliability.

[0015] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The utility model discloses a flexible joint of a manifold, comprising a connector 1, wherein the edges of the connector 1 near both ends are fixedly connected with a fixing ring 2, an extrusion ring 3 is provided on one side of the fixing ring 2, a screw 4 is evenly inserted and connected between the extrusion ring 3 and the fixing ring 2, four shrinkage plates 6 are evenly distributed between the fixing ring 2 and the extrusion ring 3, the inner ring wall of each shrinkage plate 6 is fixedly connected with a clamping arc plate 7, the side wall of the clamping arc plate 7 at one end away from the shrinkage plate 6 is fixedly connected with an anti-dropping gasket 8, and an arc positioning ring 13 is telescopically inserted between the four shrinkage plates 6;
[0017] The side wall of the fixing ring 2 away from the connector 1 is evenly fixedly connected with a collar 5, one end of the screw rod 4 passes through the fixing ring 2 and the extrusion ring 3 and is threadedly inserted in the middle of the collar 5, the inner parts relative to the bottom of the connector 1 and the fixing ring 2 are inclined structures, the shrinkage plate 6 is a conical structure, and fits with the inner wall of the fixing ring 2, and a movable groove 9 is provided on the side wall opposite to the shrinkage plate 6, a slider 10 is slidably connected in the movable groove 9, one end of the slider 10 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the shrinkage plate 6, a spring 11 is fixedly connected at one end in the movable groove 9, and the spring 11 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the slider 10 through one end thereof.
[0018] The technical effect of this solution is as follows: insert the pipe into the connector 1, and then rotate the screw 4 to drive the extrusion ring 3 toward the fixed ring 2 through the threaded connection, so as to squeeze the shrinkage plate 6. As the extrusion progresses, the four shrinkage plates 6 can be moved toward the center point. As the shrinkage plate 6 shrinks, the pipe can eventually be clamped and positioned, so that the pipe is stably connected to the connector 1. The connector 1 can be connected to the water distributor 14 and the water collector 15 by the same method as above to achieve the connection between the pipe and the water distributor 14 and the water collector 15. The entire connection process is easy to operate, and there is no need to worry about the problem of jamming caused by the threaded connection, thereby reducing the failure rate during installation.
[0019] An annular partition 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the connector 1, and sealing gaskets are fixedly connected to the side walls of the partition 12 that are far away from each other, and the sealing gaskets are fitted with the ends of the pipes extending into the connector 1. A water divider 14 and a water collector 15 are set up at one end of the connector 1. The water divider 14 and the water collector 15 are parallel structures. The water divider 14 and the water collector 15 are connected by a pipeline. The bottom side walls of the water divider 14 and the water collector 15 are evenly fixedly connected with branch pipes, and the connector 1 is detachably connected to the branch pipes through one end.
[0020] The technical effect of this solution is as follows: an anti-slip gasket 8 is installed on the bottom side wall of the clamping arc plate 7, and the anti-slip gasket 8 is an inclined structure. Therefore, when the anti-slip gasket 8 is tightly clamped and fits on the outer wall of the pipe, it can effectively increase the airtightness of the connection and prevent the pipe from detaching from the connector 1. Because the pipe is in an upright state after connection, the anti-slip gasket 8 is provided to increase the anti-retreat performance and avoid the problem of pipe detachment.
[0021] Specifically, when the utility model is in use, first, one end of the connector 1 is sleeved on the branch pipes of the water distributor 14 and the water collector 15, and then the screw 4 is rotated to drive the extrusion ring 3 to move. By extrusion, the shrinkage plate 6 and the clamping arc plate 7 are driven towards the center point, so that the four shrinkage plates 6 and the clamping arc plates 7 gradually shrink. With the progress of the shrinkage, a stable clamping function for the pipeline will be finally formed, thereby stably connecting the connector 1 to the branch pipe. Then, the pipeline is inserted into the other end of the connector 1, and the pipeline is stably connected to the connector 1 in the above-mentioned manner. By using the connector 1 as a transfer connector 1, the problem that it is not easy to repair when problems occur in the traditional integrated structure can be avoided, and clamping fixation is used instead of threaded connection, which can avoid the jamming phenomenon caused by problems such as thread slipping in threaded connection, improve the practicability, and the actual operation process is also more convenient;
[0022] According to actual needs, the middle section of the connector 1 can be replaced with a flexible structure, so that the orientation angle can be adjusted according to needs to cope with special-shaped installation environments and improve the flexibility of application.
[0023] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the utility model, several improvements and retouches can still be made, and these improvements and retouches should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
[0024] Other parts not detailed in the utility model belong to the prior art, so they will not be elaborated here.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
