Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal pump high-pressure test pipeline connection, in particular to a movable adapter flange that is easy to center. Background Art
[0002] Before conducting a high-pressure test on a centrifugal pump, it is necessary to connect the pump's inlet and outlet to the test pipeline. The commonly used method is to weld flanges at the end faces of two connected pipes and fix the connection through the bolt holes on the flanges. However, due to the different center heights of different centrifugal pumps and the fixed nature of the pipeline layout of the test bench itself, it is often difficult to align the bolt holes when connecting the pipelines, which makes it difficult to connect and install the pipelines and increases the loss of working hours. In addition, different centrifugal pumps have different test pressures and require different flange specifications. Therefore, flanges of different specifications need to be made according to the test pressure, which increases material consumption. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a movable adapter flange that is easy to align, aiming to improve the problem that the flanges of the high-pressure test pipe of the centrifugal pump are difficult to connect and the large number of flange specifications increases material consumption.

One end of the intermediate elbow is connected to the base flange, and the other end is connected to the stop flange. The three form an integral whole. An activity flange is sleeved outside the intermediate elbow. The inner hole diameter of the activity flange is smaller than the outer diameter of the stop flange, and it can move around the intermediate elbow and rotate 360°. When connecting pipelines, the position of the bolt holes can be adjusted by rotating the activity flange, facilitating quick alignment and reducing waste of working hours. There are waist-shaped holes on the end face of the activity flange. During high-pressure testing, the installation position of the bolts can be adjusted according to the actual pressure, meeting the requirements of different pressure experiments and avoiding waste of materials caused by repeated production of tooling.

Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Refer to Figures 1-4 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: As Figure 1 shown, the movable adapter flange facilitating centering of this embodiment includes an intermediate elbow 2. One end of the intermediate elbow 2 is fixedly connected to a base flange 1, and the other end of the intermediate elbow 2 is fixedly connected to a stop flange 4. An outer side of the intermediate elbow 2 is sleeved with a movable flange 3. The inner hole diameter of the movable flange 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the stop flange 4. The movable flange 3 can move around the intermediate elbow 2 and rotate 360°. The intermediate elbow 2, the base flange 1, and the stop flange 4 are integrated. The movable flange 3 can move around the intermediate elbow 2 and rotate 360°. When connecting pipelines, the position of the bolt holes can be adjusted by rotating the movable flange 3, which facilitates quick centering and reduces waste of working hours.
[0026] A waist-shaped hole 5 is arranged on an end face of the movable flange 3. The design of the waist-shaped hole 5 can realize adjusting the bolt installation position according to the actual pressure magnitude during high-pressure testing, adapting to different pressure experiment requirements, and avoiding material waste caused by repeated manufacturing of tooling.
[0027] A rubber sealing gasket 7 is arranged on a side of the stop flange 4 away from the movable flange 3. The rubber sealing gasket 7 arranged on one side of the stop flange 4 is beneficial to waterproof sealing and improves the accuracy of the experiment.
[0028] A connecting ring 6 is arranged on an outer side edge of the rubber sealing gasket 7. The designed connecting ring 6 can press the rubber sealing gasket 7 on the outer side of the stop flange 4 to improve its stability.
[0029] On the end face of the rubber sealing gasket 7, there are two circular rubber sealing rings 701. On the end face of the stop flange 4 on the side away from the movable flange 3, there is a circular groove 401, and one side of the rubber sealing ring 701 is connected in the circular groove 401. By opening two circular grooves 401 on one side of the stop flange 4 for placing two circular rubber sealing rings 701, it can play a good role in sealing and waterproofing the sealing surface.

The cross-sections of both the rubber sealing ring 702 and the support ring 703 are in a herringbone shape. When the stop flange 4 is connected to the pipeline, the support ring 703 and the rubber sealing ring 702 can seal the inner gap of the stop flange 4, further improving the waterproof sealing performance and being beneficial to the smooth progress of the high-pressure test of the centrifugal pump.
