Once the flange plate is severely damaged due to being bumped during the transportation of the reducer, personnel often need to replace the flange plate and the reducer as a whole, which will seriously cause waste of materials and affect the practicability. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a flange reducer is provided, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the flange plate and the reducer are mostly integrally formed. Once the flange plate is severely damaged due to being bumped during the transportation of the reducer, personnel often need to replace the flange plate and the reducer as a whole, which will seriously cause waste of materials.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a flange reducer, including a reducer main body and flange plates detachably arranged at both ends of the reducer main body. A plurality of buffer grooves are circumferentially formed on the outer walls at both ends of the reducer main body. Positioning grooves corresponding to the buffer grooves are formed on the inner walls of the flange plates. Positioning plugs for fastening the flange plates are arranged in the buffer grooves.

[0022] The following description is used to disclose the present utility model so that those skilled in the art can implement the present utility model. The preferred embodiments in the following description are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1-5 As shown, a flange reducing head includes a reducing head body 1 and flanges 2 detachably arranged at both ends of the reducing head body 1. A plurality of buffer grooves 3 are circumferentially formed on the outer walls at both ends of the reducing head body 1. Positioning grooves 4 corresponding to the buffer grooves 3 are formed on the inner walls of the flanges 2. A positioning plug for fastening the flange 2 is arranged in the buffer groove 3. An annular rotation groove 8 is also formed on the outer walls at both ends of the reducing head body 1, and an extrusion component cooperating with the positioning plug is arranged in the annular rotation groove 8;

[0024] Through the arrangement of the positioning plug and the extrusion component, on the premise of ensuring the stability of the flange 2 when used at the end of the reducing head body 1, it is convenient for personnel to separately disassemble and replace the flange 2 when it is damaged, so as to avoid the overall replacement of the reducing head body 1 and the flange 2, resulting in serious material waste.

[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 As shown, it should be noted that the positioning plug includes a positioning block 5 with a right-angled trapezoidal shape slidably arranged in the buffer groove 3, and the hypotenuse of the positioning block 5 faces away from the positioning groove 4;

[0026] The extrusion component includes an internal thread cylinder 9 located below the buffer groove 3 and vertically rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the bottom end of the annular rotation groove 8. An external thread block 10 is threadedly connected to the inside of the internal thread cylinder 9, and a pressure rod 11 is vertically fixed on the external thread block 10;

[0027] A penetration and contraction groove communicating with the inside of the annular rotation groove 8 is formed on the inner wall at one end of the buffer groove 3. The end of the pressure rod 11 is elliptical, and the end of the pressure rod 11 penetrates into the penetration and contraction groove and corresponds to the hypotenuse of the buffer groove 3;

[0028] By controlling the rotation of the internal thread cylinder 9, the external thread block 10 can slide upward on the inside of the internal thread cylinder 9 under the thread structure and push the pressure rod 11, so that the pressure rod 11 penetrates into the buffer groove 3 from the penetration and contraction groove. In this way, the end of the pressure rod 11 abuts against the hypotenuse of the positioning block 5, which can cause the positioning block 5 to be passively pressurized and penetrate into the positioning groove 4 to fasten the flange 2.

[0029] Further, with reference to Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the positioning plug-in further includes a sliding slot opened at the top end of the positioning plug 5 and a fixing piece 6 slidably disposed in the sliding slot and fixedly connected perpendicular to the inner wall of the top end of the buffer slot 3. A return spring 7 is fixedly connected between the fixing piece 6 and the inner wall of one side of the sliding slot;

[0030] During the process of the positioning plug 5 being squeezed and inserted into the positioning slot 4, the fixing piece 6 can remain fixed in the sliding slot and compress the return spring 7 to deform. Thus, when the inner threaded cylinder 9 is rotated in the reverse direction, causing the pressure rod 11 to reduce the extrusion on the positioning plug 5, the positioning plug 5 can actively contract inside the buffer slot 3 under the elastic force of the return spring 7 and withdraw from the inside of the positioning slot 4, releasing the fixing effect on the flange 2.

[0031] Further, with reference to Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the extrusion component further includes an internal gear disk 12 vertically rotatably disposed between the inner walls of both ends of the annular rotation supply slot 8. A gear 13 meshing with the internal tooth surface of the internal gear disk 12 is tightly sleeved on the pipe body of the inner threaded cylinder 9. A plurality of handles 14 are fixedly connected around the outer wall of the internal gear disk 12;

[0032] When the handle 14 is rotated, during the rotation of the internal gear disk 12, its internal tooth surface can continuously mesh with the gear 13, thereby supplying rotation to the inner threaded cylinder 9 and providing a rotational force for the inner threaded cylinder 9.

[0033] Further, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that circular positioning plates 15 are attached to the corresponding surfaces of the two flanges 2. The positioning plates 15 are tightly sleeved on the outer wall of the reducer body 1, and a plurality of positioning columns 16 are fixedly arranged around the positioning plates 15. Positioning holes adapted to the positioning columns 16 are opened on the flanges 2;

[0034] Through the arrangement of the positioning holes and the positioning columns 16, when the flange 2 is sleeved on the end of the reducer body 1, the positioning columns 16 need to be aligned and inserted into the positioning holes. In this way, the positioning holes and the positioning columns 16 cooperate, enabling the positioning slot 4 and the buffer slot 3 to be in corresponding positions after the flange 2 is sleeved on the end of the reducer body 1, facilitating the subsequent extension of the positioning plug 5 towards the inside of the positioning slot 4.

[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
