Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flanges, in particular to a metal flange assembly convenient for alignment installation. Background Technique

[0002] Also called flange convex disc or flange, a flange is a part for connecting shafts to each other and for connecting between pipe ends. Traditional flanges are fixed on pipe fittings or shafts and cannot be rotated and adjusted. When flanges are connected, the flange holes on both sides must be aligned, otherwise the bolts cannot be inserted into the flange holes, and when the existing flanges have position deviations, they are not easy to adjust. For this reason, we propose a metal flange assembly convenient for alignment installation. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiency that the positions of flange holes cannot be adjusted when existing flanges are connected, the utility model provides a metal flange assembly convenient for alignment installation, which has the advantage that when the annular connection seat is rotated, the installation holes on both sides can be easily aligned, and solves the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0004] To achieve the above purposes, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: A metal flange assembly convenient for alignment installation, comprising:

[0005] Two butt flanges, and connecting pipes are respectively connected to the centers of one sides of the two butt flanges;

[0006] Two annular connection seats, the circular openings in the centers of the two annular connection seats are respectively sleeved on the two connecting pipes, and the outer edges of the annular connection seats are all exposed outside the butt flanges;

[0007] Among them, the end faces of the two butt flanges away from the connecting pipes are butted together, and installation holes are provided at the edges of the annular connection seats. The annular connection seats can rotate freely on the connecting pipes, so that the installation holes on both sides are aligned.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the annular connection seat is larger than the diameter of the butt flange, and the two are coaxial.

[0009] Preferably, annular grooves are coaxially provided on the sides of the two butt flanges away from each other, and annular blocks placed in the annular grooves are provided on the sides of the annular connection seats facing the butt flanges.

[0010] Preferably, at least two openings are provided on the annular connection seat, so that the annular connection seat is divided into at least two parts.

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. 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.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a metal flange assembly convenient for alignment and installation, two docking flanges 5, and connecting pipes 1 are respectively connected to the centers of one sides of the two docking flanges 5. In the actual application process, the connecting pipe 1 is connected to the pipe to be connected, that is, the connecting pipe 1 can be directly welded to the pipe to integrally connect the docking flange 5 and the pipe;

[0021] When docking the two pipes, it only needs to align the two docking flanges 5 and then butt them together, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, in order to facilitate the initial docking of two docking flanges 5, a docking groove 9 is provided at the inner edge of one of the docking flanges 5, and a docking flange 8 is provided at the inner edge of the other docking flange 5. Among them, the docking flange 8 extends axially outward from the docking flange 5, while the docking groove 9 extends axially inward into the docking flange 5. In this way, when the two docking flanges are docked, the docking flange 8 can be placed in the docking groove 9 for fixation, and there is a clearance fit between the two. The advantages of this are as follows: First, the cooperation between the docking flange 8 and the docking groove 9 can play a guiding role; second, it can stabilize the ends of the two pipes. That is, when the two docking flanges 5 are docked and the docking flange 8 is inserted into the docking groove 9, when the pipes are subjected to non-axial forces, the ends of the two docked pipes are fixed by the docking flange 8 and the docking groove 9, preventing the ends of the two docked pipes from shifting.

[0022] After the two docking flanges 5 are docked, they can be aligned and locked. As Figure 1 shown, the present application further includes two annular connecting seats 2. The circular openings 4 at the centers of the two annular connecting seats 2 are respectively sleeved on the two connecting pipes 1. Since the diameter of the annular connecting seat 2 is larger than the diameter of the docking flange 5, the outer edges of the annular connecting seats 2 are all exposed outside the docking flange 5, and the annular connecting seats 2 are all attached to the sides of the docking flange 5;

[0023] Specifically, when the present application is in use, the ends of the two docking flanges 5 away from the connecting pipes 1 are docked together. Installation holes 11 are provided at the edges of the annular connecting seats 2. In fact, the diameter of the circular opening 4 is also larger than the diameter of the connecting pipe 1, so that the annular connecting seats 2 can rotate freely on the connecting pipes 1. When any one of the annular connecting seats 2 is rotated, the installation holes 11 on both sides can be easily aligned. This method does not need to consider the situation where the connecting holes on the ordinary flange are not aligned after the two pipes are docked, resulting in the bolts being unable to be placed in the holes; on the contrary, in the present application, the installation holes are aligned by rotating the annular connecting seats 2, and then bolts 3 are inserted into the corresponding installation holes 11, and then the two annular connecting seats 2 can be tightly connected by nuts at the ends of the bolts 3. The operation is simple and convenient to use;

[0024] It should be noted that since there is a docking flange 5 between the two annular connecting seats 2 on both sides, the gap between the two annular connecting seats 2 on both sides is large enough. When the nuts are gradually tightened, the pressure of the two annular connecting seats 2 on the docking flange 5 also increases accordingly, and finally the two docking flanges 5 are tightly pressed together. At the same time, due to the cooperation of the docking flange 8 and the docking groove 9, the structural strength of the connected docking flange 5 is large and will not loosen.

[0025] The present application also further improves the connection part between the annular connecting seat 2 and the docking flange 5, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, annular grooves 7 are coaxially provided on the sides of the two butt flanges 5 facing away from each other. An annular block 10 placed in the annular groove 7 is provided on the side of the annular connection seat 2 facing the butt flange 5. When the annular connection seat 2 is placed on the side of the butt flange 5, the annular block 10 is also placed in the annular groove 7. At this time, the annular connection seat 2 and the butt flange 5 can be coaxially arranged. When the operator rotates the annular connection seat 2, there is no need to consider whether the annular connection seat 2 and the butt flange 5 are coaxially arranged.

[0026] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown in the figure, the annular connection seat 2 can be designed into a spliced structure, that is, at least two openings 6 are provided on the annular connection seat 2, so that the annular connection seat 2 is at least divided into two parts. In this way, when in use, there is no need to sleeved the annular connection seat 2 on the connecting pipe 1. Instead, after the butt flanges 5 are butted, the annular connection seat 2 can be clamped on the annular groove 7, and the operation is more convenient. As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the annular connection seat 2 is divided into at least two groups. After one group of annular connection seats 2 is clamped in the annular groove 7, the two annular connection seats 2 can also be adjusted arbitrarily, which is also convenient for the alignment of the mounting holes 11.

[0027] Furthermore, a sealing assembly is provided between the docking groove 9 and the docking flange 8. The sealing assembly is a sealing rubber. Similarly, a sealing assembly is provided between the butt flanges 5 to achieve a better sealing effect.
