DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a corrugated expansion joint for a pressure vessel includes an expansion joint body, which includes a corrugated pipe 1 and connecting flanges 2 on both sides of the corrugated pipe 1. The two groups of connecting flanges 2 are connected to the corresponding joints 3 of the pressure vessel through multiple groups of connecting bolts; a sealing assembly, including two groups of sealing covers 5 and a soft sealing cylinder 7. The sealing cover 5 includes two groups of sealing half-rings 501. The sealing cover 5 is used to arrange the soft sealing cylinder 7 on the outer sides of the connecting flange 2 and the joint 3. A clamping and fixing member 4 for clamping on the outer sides of the connecting flange 2 and the joint 3 is arranged inside the sealing cover 5. An outer communication port adapted to the outer wall of the joint 3 is arranged on one side of the sealing cover 5, and a sealing ring is installed at the outer communication port. An inner connection port larger than the radial dimension of the corrugated pipe 1 is arranged on the other side of the sealing cover 5, and a fixing ring 502 is coaxially installed at the inner connection port. The soft sealing cylinder 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the corrugated pipe 1, and both ends of it are tightly connected to the outer side of the fixing ring 502 through fixing members; a detector 6 is installed inside the sealing cover 5;

[0020] In the present utility model, by designing two groups of sealing covers 5 and a soft sealing cylinder 7, the connection positions of the connecting flange 2 and the joint 3 are sealed by the two groups of sealing covers 5. The two ends of the soft sealing cylinder 7 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the sealing covers 5 to seal the corrugated pipe 1. When a leakage port occurs during the long-term use of the expansion joint body, the leakage medium can be detected in time by the detector 6 inside the sealing cover 5, greatly improving the leakage detection efficiency.

[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, one end of the two groups of sealing half-rings 501 is rotatably connected, and the other end is fixedly connected through a fixing bolt 504. An installation plate 503 for installing the fixing bolt 504 is arranged at the end of the sealing half-ring 501. Of course, in actual use, other fixing structures can also be preferably used to fix the movable end of the sealing half-ring 501, such as a locking structure can be selected.

[0022] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the fixing ring 502 includes two groups of fixing half-rings, and the two groups of fixing half-rings are fixedly installed at the outer communication ports of the corresponding sealing half-rings 501;

[0023] At the same time, the fixing member is a fastening hoop, and a groove for clamping the fastening hoop is arranged on the outer side of the fixing ring 502.

[0024] As Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the clamping and fixing member 4 includes two groups of clamping plates 401 and a double-headed screw rod 402. The two groups of clamping plates 401 are slidably installed in the inner cavity of the sealing cover 5. The double-headed screw rod 402 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the sealing cover 5, and one end thereof extends out of the sealing cover 5. The threaded portions symmetrically arranged on both sides of the double-headed screw rod 402 form a helical pair drive with the ends of the corresponding clamping plates 401. The two groups of clamping plates 401 clamp on both sides of the connecting flange 2 and the joint 3. During the process of fixing the sealing cover 5 in the present utility model, by rotating the double-headed screw rod 402, the two groups of clamping plates 401 are driven to approach symmetrically and clamp on both sides of the connecting flange 2 and the joint 3, thereby avoiding the displacement and sliding of the sealing cover 5 after installation and assisting in positioning the sealing cover 5.

[0025] In summary, in the present utility model, two groups of sealing covers 5 and soft sealing cylinders 7 are hermetically fixed outside the expansion valve body. The two groups of sealing covers 5 seal the connection positions of the connecting flange 2 and the joint 3, and the soft sealing cylinder 7 seals the corrugated pipe 1. When a leakage occurs in the expansion joint body during long-term use, the leakage medium can be detected in time by the detector 6 in the sealing cover 5, greatly improving the efficiency of leak detection.

[0026] The above has described the preferred embodiments of the present utility model in detail. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present utility model.
