AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The gap between the diversion pipe of the existing bellows expansion joint and the inner wall of the right connector is large, which makes it possible to be installed in pipes with a single medium flow direction. The service life of the expansion joint is shortened when the water flow direction is switched in the heating system or requires frequent maintenance.

Method used

The duplex double diversion expansion joint structure is adopted, including the first and second corrugated pipes with a flow tube inside. The two ends of the diversion pipe are in contact with the inner wall of the intermediate pipe or have a gap, and are connected through the ear plate, the pull rod and the nut assembly to achieve the unlimited flow direction of the medium.

Benefits of technology

The expansion joint does not need to consider the media flow direction when installing and using it, the compensation length is greatly increased and the service life is extended. It is suitable for heating systems that require frequent switching of the water flow direction.

[0002] The structure of the existing corrugated pipe expansion joint generally includes a corrugated pipe, a guide pipe, and left and right connecting pipes. The two ends of the corrugated pipe are respectively welded and fixed to the left connecting pipe and the right connecting pipe. The inner wall of the left connecting pipe is welded and fixed to the left end of the guide pipe, and the right end of the guide pipe extends into the inner cavity of the right connecting pipe.

[0003] Currently, due to a large gap left between the right end of the guide pipe and the inner wall of the right connecting pipe in the existing corrugated pipe expansion joint, such expansion joints can only be installed and applied to pipelines with a single flow direction of the medium. Before installing the expansion joint, it is necessary to mark the flow direction of the medium and check the installation direction during pipeline construction to avoid incorrect installation direction of the expansion joint, resulting in an accident of expansion joint damage soon after the pipeline is opened.

[0004] In the existing heating system, sometimes it is necessary to switch the flow direction of the water in the pipeline. After the flow direction of the water is switched, the above-mentioned traditional corrugated pipe expansion joint usually causes the service life of the expansion joint to be shortened, or the expansion joint needs to be frequently maintained, resulting in an increase in the use cost. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a compound double-guide flow expansion joint, which does not need to consider the flow direction of the medium during installation and use, has a larger compensation length of the expansion joint, and greatly extends the service life.

[0011] The right end of the second guide pipe is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the right connecting pipe, and the left end of the second guide pipe extends into the inner cavity of the intermediate connecting pipe.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, both the first diversion pipe and the second diversion pipe are provided with a conical structure with both ends expanding outwards.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the right end of the first diversion pipe contacts or has a gap with the inner wall of the intermediate pipe.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the left end of the second diversion pipe contacts or has a gap with the inner wall of the intermediate pipe.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, multiple groups of oppositely arranged ear plates are evenly distributed on the outer surfaces of the left pipe and the intermediate pipe, and each group of ear plates is connected by a pull rod and a nut assembly.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, multiple groups of oppositely arranged ear plates are evenly distributed on the outer surfaces of the right pipe and the intermediate pipe, and each group of ear plates is connected by a pull rod and a nut assembly.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a pair of nuts are respectively provided at both ends of the pull rod, and the pull rod is connected and fixed to the ear plate through the nuts.
