[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present utility model provides a water pipeline connection structure, and the water pipeline structure includes a first pipeline 1 and a second pipeline 2, a sealing member 3 and a clamp 4 that are connected to each other; the water pipeline connection structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, has a lower cost and higher safety performance; has lower requirements for the pipe diameters of the two side connection pipelines and a wider application range.
[0038] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end in the extending direction of the first pipeline 1 is provided as a first connection end 11; one end in the extending direction of the second pipeline 2 is provided as a second connection end 21, and the second connection end 21 is inserted into the inside of the first connection end 11, thereby realizing the connection between the first pipeline 1 and the second pipeline 2.
[0039] Specifically, at least two groups of convex portions are formed on the outer wall of the second connection end 21, the convex portions are arranged along the axial direction of the second pipeline 2 and are all arranged around the outer periphery of the second connection end 21, and the gaps between at least two groups of adjacent convex portions in the axial direction form an accommodation groove 54, the groove wall of the accommodation groove 54 is set as the surfaces of the second convex portion 52 and the third convex portion 53 that are oppositely arranged in the axial direction, the bottom wall of the accommodation groove 54 is set as the outer wall of the main body of the second connection end 21, and the accommodation groove 54 is used to place the sealing member 3 to form a seal at the pipeline connection, preferably, the sealing member 3 is set as an O-ring.
[0040] Further, refer to Figure 4As shown, in the first embodiment of the present utility model, the convex parts are preferably arranged in three groups, including a first convex part 51, a second convex part 52, and a third convex part 53 arranged in sequence along the axis direction of the second connection end 21. Among them, the third convex part 53 is closer to the first connection end 11 than the first convex part 51, and the third convex part 53 is located at the port part of the second connection end 21 in the axis direction. The first convex part 51 and the second convex part 52 are arranged closely, and an accommodation groove 54 is formed between the second convex part 52 and the third convex part 53.
[0041] Further, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the outer diameters of the first convex part 51, the second convex part 52, and the third convex part 53 are equal, avoiding that the outer diameter of a certain convex part is too large to hinder the insertion of the second connection end 21, or the outer diameter is too small to have a supporting effect and the force on each convex part is uneven. Further, the first convex part 51, the second convex part 52, and the third convex part 53 all protrude outward along the radial direction of the second pipeline 2, so that the plane where the convex part is located is perpendicular to the insertion direction.
[0042] Specifically, the outer diameters of the first convex part 51, the second convex part 52, and the third convex part 53 are all smaller than the inner diameter of the first connection end 11, facilitating the insertion of the second connection end 21 into the first connection end 11; the sealing member 3 is in interference fit with the inner wall of the first connection end 11 to fill the radial gap between the first connection end 11 and the second connection end 21 to achieve sealing. Preferably, in the first embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer diameter of the convex part is d1, the outer diameter of the sealing member 3 is d2, and the inner diameter of the first connection end 11 is d3; d1, d2, and d3 are all assembly dimensions. Among them,
[0043] d1 = d3 - 0.1;
[0044] The difference between the outer diameter of the convex part and the inner diameter of the first connection end 11 is 0.1 mm, and the width of the radial gap between the convex part and the inner wall of the first connection end 11 is 0.05 mm, providing space for the assembly of the second connection end 21.
[0045] d2 = d3 + 0.2;
[0046] The difference between the outer diameter of the sealing member 3 and the inner diameter of the first connection end 11 is 0.2 mm, and the interference amount of the sealing member 3 in the radial direction is 0.1 mm, avoiding water leakage at the pipeline connection.
[0047] Specifically, the clearance width between the seal 3 and the two side walls of the receiving groove 54 in the axial direction is 0.5 mm; when the model of the seal 3 is determined, the groove width of the receiving groove 54 is also determined accordingly. Refer to Figure 6 As shown, the region between the first convex portion 51 and the third convex portion 53 of the second connection end 21 in the axial direction is inserted into the first connection end 11, and the insertion depth is L. When the groove width of the receiving groove 54 is determined, L is related to the axial width of the convex portion. It should be noted that in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first convex portion 51, the second convex portion 52, and the third convex portion 53 are all provided as pipe wall beadings, which are formed by extrusion with a beading die. When the wall material thickness of the second pipe 2 is set to a, the axial width of the convex portion is the smallest when the beading is completely pressed by the die. At this time, the axial width m of each group of convex portions is 2a; when controlling the die stroke during beading, a hollow space is reserved inside the convex portion, and the axial width of the convex portion can be controlled to be larger when it is not completely pressed, m > 2a, so as to adjust the insertion depth L of the pipe to meet the requirements of different pipe connections.
[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the first pipe 1 further includes a pipe body 12 and a limiting portion 6; the limiting portion 6 is located inside the first pipe 1; the position of the limiting portion 6 inside the first pipe 1 is determined according to the insertion depth L, and the limiting portion 6 is located on one side of the third convex portion 53 for limiting.
[0049] Furthermore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the inner diameter of the first pipe 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the second pipe 2, the pipe diameter of the pipe body 12 is equal to the inner diameter of the first connection end 11, the limiting portion 6 protrudes radially inward from the inner wall of the first pipe 1, and the limiting portion 6 is provided as a dotting protrusion.
[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 12As shown, the clamp 4 is sleeved outside the connection of the first pipeline 1 and the second pipeline 2. The clamp 4 includes a first fastening part and a second fastening part connected in sequence along the axial direction; the first fastening part includes two groups of first clamping plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first connection end 11. The first clamping plate includes a first arc segment 71 similar in shape to the first connection end 11. One end of the first arc segment 71 is set as a closed segment 73, and the other end is set as an open segment 74; the closed segments 73 of the two groups of first clamping plates of the first fastener 41 are connected to each other. The second fastening part includes two groups of second clamping plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second connection end 21. The second clamping plate has a second arc segment 72 similar in shape to the second connection end 21. One end of the second arc segment 72 is set as a closed segment 73, and the other end is set as an open segment 74; the closed segments 73 of the two groups of second clamping plates of the second fastener 42 are connected to each other.
[0051] Further, the first arc segment 71 is closely arranged against the first connection end 11, and the second arc segment 72 is closely arranged against the second connection end 21. The closed segment 73 of the first fastener 41 is connected to the closed segment 73 of the second fastener 42. The open segments 74 of the first fastener 41 and the second fastener 42 are connected to each other and the openings communicate with each other to form a trumpet-shaped inlet for the pipeline to pass through. The first fastener 41 and the second fastener 42 have a gap in the axial direction to avoid the flange 1101 of the first connection end 11. After the clamp 4 is installed, the first fastener 41 limits the flange 1101 in the axial direction, and the second fastener 42 limits the first convex part 51 in the axial direction, preventing the pipeline connection from slipping in the axial direction and affecting the waterway sealing effect.
[0052] Embodiment 2
[0053] Refer to Figures 9 to 12 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a waterway pipeline connection structure. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is only that: the inner diameter of the pipeline main body 12 of the first pipeline 1 is equal to the inner diameter of the second pipeline 2. By flaring the first connection end 11, the inner diameter of the first connection end 11 is made larger than the inner diameter of the pipeline main body 12. The limiting part 6 is set as a conical surface. One end of the generatrix direction of the conical surface is connected to the first connection end 11, and the other end is connected to the pipeline main body 12. The insertion of the second connection end 21 is limited by the tightening of the conical surface. The waterway pipeline connection structure of the present invention can be applied to pipelines with the same diameter or different diameters, and the selection range is relatively wide.
[0054] The working principle of the waterway pipeline connection structure of the present invention is as follows:
[0055] Assemble the seal 3 into the accommodation groove 54 of the second connection end 21, then insert the seal 3 and the second connection end 21 into the inside of the first connection end 11, and after completion, fix the seal with the clamp 4.
[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples clearly described and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the creation of the present utility model.
