Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of safe connection of hydraulic pipelines, and particularly relates to a special sleeve for crimping and connecting low-pressure pipes. Background Art

[0002] For low-pressure pipes such as transparent liquid level pipes and air pipes, the conventional connection method is to use flare fittings and hose clamps. The connection forms of the fittings are few, and the number of required ones is small. There are few that can be matched with reducing fittings or components, and they are not easy to purchase. Moreover, after fastening with hose clamps, loosening, liquid leakage and other situations will occur as the service time increases.

[0003] In order to facilitate connection, currently, the form of engineering high-pressure hose crimping fittings is adopted for crimping low-pressure pipes before use. However, at present, the cross-section of the sealing convex ring on the inner circle of the sleeve in the industry is triangular or isosceles trapezoidal, and the edges and corners are generally relatively sharp. Due to poor control of the crimping amount and differences in the structure and quality of low-pressure pipes, it is easy to cause the low-pressure pipes to be crimped and broken, resulting in more liquid leakage and scrapping situations. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a special sleeve for crimping and connecting low-pressure pipes with good crimping quality, not easy to damage low-pressure pipes, and good sealing effect.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a special sleeve for crimping and connecting low-pressure pipes, including a cylinder body that is vertically transparent and cylindrical. The upper end of the cylinder body is integrally provided with a positioning ring and a limiting ring located below the positioning ring. The inner diameters of the positioning ring and the limiting ring are both smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder body. The upper end face of the positioning ring is flush with the upper end face of the cylinder body. An annular positioning groove is formed between the positioning ring and the limiting ring. Along the axial direction below the limiting ring on the inner circle of the cylinder body, there are several sealing pressure rings. An annular groove is formed between any two adjacent sealing pressure rings. The outer contour of the cross-section of each sealing pressure ring is a first arc segment, and the outer contour of the cross-section of each annular groove is a second arc segment.

[0006] The first arc segment protrudes towards the center line of the cylinder body, the second arc segment depresses towards the inner wall of the cylinder body. The central angles of both the first arc segment and the second arc segment are 180°. The two ends of the upper end of the second arc segment are respectively tangent to the lower end of the upper first arc segment and the upper end of the lower first arc segment.

[0007] The radius of the first arc segment is 1.5 mm, and the radius of the second arc segment is 0.25 mm.

[0008] Between the upper part of the uppermost first arc segment and the inner wall of the cylinder body and between the lower part of the lowermost first arc segment and the inner wall of the cylinder body, they are both transitioned through arc segments. The central angle of the arc segment is 90°, and the radius of the arc segment is 0.25 mm.

[0009] The outer circumference of the cylinder body is provided with an annular positioning step on the outside of the limiting ring. The diameter of the outer circumference of the cylinder body above the annular positioning step is smaller than that below the annular positioning step. The radii of the outer circumference and the inner circumference of the cylinder body below the annular positioning step are 14 mm and 12.5 mm respectively, and the radius of the outer circumference of the cylinder body above the annular positioning step is 13.5 mm.

[0010] Adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) The outer contour of the cross-section of the sealing press ring is a first arc segment, without sharp edges (corners), and no sharp stress will be generated during the swaging. Therefore, the sealing press ring will not cut the local part of the low-pressure pipe during the swaging, ensuring the integrity of the low-pressure pipe.

[0012] (2) The cross-section of the bottom of the annular groove is a second arc segment, which is tangent to the first arc segments on the upper and lower sides. And there are arc segments for transition between the upper part of the first arc segment at the uppermost end and the inner wall of the cylinder body, and between the lower part of the first arc segment at the lowermost end and the inner wall of the cylinder body. In this way, there are no edges (corners) in the entire range of the inner circumference of the cylinder body under the action of the swaging pressure, thus ensuring that the low-pressure pipe inside the cylinder body will not be damaged at all, and avoiding potential safety hazards of liquid leakage and air leakage during operation.

[0013] (3) When the core, the sleeve and the low-pressure pipe are assembled in place and then placed on the swaging machine, the annular positioning step plays a positioning role, ensuring that the sleeve below the annular positioning step is within the swaging stress range. This facilitates the operation of the worker, with accurate positioning, avoiding the situation of too small or too large swaging area, and keeping the swaging quality of the whole batch of products consistent.

[0014] (4) The radius of the first arc segment is 1.5 mm, the radius of the second arc segment is 0.25 mm, and the radius of the arc segment is 0.25 mm. These dimensional parameters are the optimal choices for the radii of the outer circumference and the inner circumference of the cylinder body below the annular positioning step being 14 mm and 12.5 mm respectively. If the outer diameter and inner diameter dimensions of the cylinder body change, the radii of the first arc segment, the second arc segment and the arc segment can be changed accordingly, but only need to ensure that the radius of the first arc segment is about 6 times the radius of the second arc segment, and the second arc segment is equal to the radius of the arc segment.

[0015] To sum up, the utility model mainly improves the sealing convex ring with a triangular or isosceles trapezoidal cross-section of the inner circumference of the sleeve, etc., which has sharp edges, into a semi-circular structure (a first arc segment with a central angle of 180°). Since the semi-circular structure has no sharp edges, it solves the problems of connection and matching and the phenomenon that the low-pressure pipe is easily broken during swaging, and at the same time enhances the sealing and pressure-bearing effect.

[0018] The following further describes in detail the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in

[0020] and

[0021] , a special sleeve for clamping and connecting a low-pressure pipe of the present utility model includes a cylindrical body 1 that is vertically transparent and cylindrical. A positioning ring 2 and a limiting ring 3 located below the positioning ring 2 are integrally provided at the upper end of the body 1. The inner diameters of the positioning ring 2 and the limiting ring 3 are both smaller than the inner diameter of the body 1. The upper end surface of the positioning ring 2 is flush with the upper end surface of the body 1. An annular positioning groove 4 is formed between the positioning ring 2 and the limiting ring 3. A plurality of sealing pressing rings 5 are provided on the inner circle of the body 1 along the axial direction below the limiting ring 3. An annular groove 6 is formed between any two adjacent sealing pressing rings 5. The outer contour of the cross-section of each sealing pressing ring 5 is a first arc segment 7, and the outer contour of the cross-section of each annular groove 6 is a second arc segment 8.

[0022] The first arc segment 7 protrudes towards the center line of the body 1, and the second arc segment 8 depresses towards the inner wall of the body 1. The central angles of both the first arc segment 7 and the second arc segment 8 are 180°. The two ends of the upper end of the second arc segment 8 are respectively tangent to the lower end of the upper first arc segment 7 and the upper end of the lower first arc segment 7.

[0023] The radius of the first arc segment 7 is 1.5 mm, and the radius of the second arc segment 8 is 0.25 mm.

[0024] Between the upper part of the uppermost first arc segment 7 and the inner wall of the body 1 and between the lower part of the lowermost first arc segment 7 and the inner wall of the body 1, they are both transitioned through an arc segment 9. The central angle of the arc segment 9 is 90°, and the radius of the arc segment 9 is 0.25 mm.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:(1)The outer contour of the cross-section of the sealing press ring 5 is the first arc segment 7, without sharp edges (corners), and no sharp stress will be generated during crimping. Therefore, the sealing press ring 5 will not cut the local part of the low-pressure pipe during crimping, ensuring the integrity of the low-pressure pipe.

[0026] (2)The bottom cross-section of the annular groove 6 is the second arc segment 8. The second arc segment 8 is tangent to the first arc segments 7 on the upper and lower sides, and the upper part of the first arc segment 7 at the uppermost end and the lower part of the first arc segment 7 at the lowermost end are both transitioned by the arc segments 9 with the inner wall of the cylinder 1. In this way, there are no edges (corners) in the entire range of the inner circle of the cylinder 1 under the action of the crimping pressure, so as to ensure that the low-pressure pipe inside the cylinder 1 will not be damaged at all, thus avoiding potential safety hazards of liquid leakage and air leakage during operation.

[0027] (3)When the core 11, the sleeve 12 and the low-pressure pipe 13 are assembled in place and then placed on the crimping machine, the annular positioning step 10 plays a positioning role to ensure that the sleeve 12 below the annular positioning step 10 is within the crimping stress range. This facilitates the operation of the worker, with accurate positioning, avoiding the occurrence of small or large crimping areas, and keeping the crimping quality of the whole batch of products consistent.

[0028] (4)The radius of the first arc segment 7 is 1.5 mm, the radius of the second arc segment 8 is 0.25 mm, and the radius of the arc segment 9 is 0.25 mm. These dimensional parameters are the optimal choices for the outer and inner radii of the cylinder 1 below the annular positioning step 10, which are 14 mm and 12.5 mm respectively. If the outer and inner diameters of the cylinder 1 change, the radii of the first arc segment 7, the second arc segment 8 and the arc segment 9 can be changed accordingly, but only need to ensure that the radius of the first arc segment 7 is about 6 times the radius of the second arc segment 8, and the second arc segment 8 is equal to the radius of the arc segment 9.
