Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of flanges, and specifically relates to a new type of high neck flange. Background Art
[0002] A high neck flange is a special type of flange, characterized in that the neck of the flange (the part connecting the pipeline) is higher than that of a traditional flange, usually to meet specific engineering requirements or operating requirements. High neck flanges are usually used in pipeline systems that require higher flow rates or higher pressures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system. In addition, high neck flanges can also reduce the risk of leakage and are easier to maintain and repair.
[0003] The patent application with the publication number CN218236518U discloses a high neck flange, including a high neck flange body. The vertical section of the arched circular flange body gradually thins from the middle and inner circular line section around the high neck part of the flange to its outer circumferential end face. The thickness of the outer circumferential end face of the arched circular flange body is 1 / 2 - 3 / 5 of the thickness of its middle and inner circular line section around the high neck part of the flange. The central angle of the vertical section line at both ends of the upper top surface of the arched circular flange body passing through the connecting line of the center angles is 10 - 15°; it also includes at least 4 cylindrical bosses, arc-shaped reinforcing ribs, strip-shaped inclined block reinforcing ribs, weight reduction grooves, and sealing water lines. The structural design of the utility model is optimized, the weight reduction of the high neck flange of the utility model is realized, the material usage is reduced by 15 - 20% compared with the high neck flanges of the same specification, and the sealing effect of the high neck flange of the utility model is improved.
[0004] In the technology disclosed in the above patent application, the sealing effect and cost of the high neck flange are optimized. However, the neck height of the high neck flange is fixed. When flanges with different neck heights are needed, a high neck flange that meets the requirements needs to be replaced again. As a result, the original flange cannot be utilized or can only be transferred to other places where it is needed, causing waste of materials.

[0013] The present utility model is further provided as follows: A plurality of through holes one are arranged in a circumferential array in the annular groove of the flange connection ring, a plurality of through holes two are arranged in a circumferential array on the mounting ring, and the inner diameters and the numbers of the through holes one and the through holes two are the same. An opening adapted to the nut is provided at one end of the through hole two away from the flange connection ring. The fastener passes through the through holes one and the through holes two to fix the mounting ring and the flange connection ring, and the threaded end of the rod body extends outside the through hole one of the flange connection ring.
[0014] A fastening cap is threadedly connected to the threaded end of the rod body, and threads adapted to the threaded end of the rod body are provided on the inner side of the fastening cap.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the fastener and the nut, the flange connection ring and the mounting ring can be easily assembled, and thus the quick replacement operation of the flange neck can be realized.
[0016] The present utility model is further provided as follows: A sealing ring is fitted in the annular groove, a plurality of round holes are arranged in a circumferential array in the sealing ring, and reinforcing ribs are fixed on the part of the sealing ring where the round holes are provided. The sealing ring is located between the mounting ring and the flange connection ring.
[0017] A plurality of washers are fitted on the side of the flange connection ring away from the mounting ring, and the rod body passes through the inner side of the washers and is connected to the fastening cap.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the sealing ring and the washers greatly improves the sealing performance between the flange connection ring and the mounting ring, making this high neck flange more stable and durable.
[0019] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. The design of this high-neck flange allows only the flange neck to be replaced. Thus, when flanges with different neck heights are needed, only the flange neck of the required height needs to be replaced, saving materials. Moreover, when the flange neck is damaged and needs to be replaced, only a new flange neck needs to be replaced instead of the entire flange, reducing material waste.
[0021] 2. The design of this high-neck flange is simple, involving fewer replacement parts, and the installation operation is simple and convenient. Most importantly, flange necks of different heights can be replaced according to different requirements, indirectly reducing material waste.
