Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flange parts, in particular to a thin-wall flange with an integrated sealing gasket. Background Art

[0002] During the assembly process of automobile exhaust pipes, flange structures are often used. The inner hole of the flange is used to be sleeved onto the exhaust pipe, and then the two flanges are fastened with bolts to achieve the connection between the exhaust pipes.

[0003] While existing flanges can connect exhaust pipes, the gap between the two flanges lacks sealing. Over time, the pipes will leak, impacting performance. To address this issue, a common practice is to insert a sealing ring between the two connecting flanges. However, in practice, adding a sealing ring between the two flanges not only makes assembly difficult, but also tends to shift relative to the flanges over time, leading to seal failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the problem in the prior art that adding a sealing ring to a flange is not only difficult to assemble, but also that the sealing ring is easily offset relative to the flange as the service time increases, resulting in sealing failure.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a thin-walled flange with an integrated sealing gasket, including an annular sealing gasket and a flange body with an inner hole, the flange body is provided with at least two clamping holes distributed circumferentially around the inner hole, the sealing gasket is attached to one side of the flange body and arranged around the inner hole, and the side of the sealing gasket facing the flange body is provided with ears that are respectively clamped to the clamping holes.

[0006] Compared with the existing technology, the above scheme sets circumferentially distributed clamping holes around the inner hole on the flange body, and can pre-realize the assembly connection between the sealing gasket and the flange body by clamping the clamping ears of the sealing gasket to the clamping holes. Therefore, when the two flange bodies need to be docked later, it not only effectively reduces the assembly difficulty, but also improves the position stability of the sealing gasket between the two flange bodies, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.

[0007] In an improved solution, the sealing gasket is made of metal, thereby having better durability.

[0008] In an improved solution, mounting holes are respectively provided at both ends of the flange body, and the mounting holes are used for assembly with bolts, thereby achieving connection between the two flange bodies.

[0009] In an improved solution, through holes corresponding to the mounting holes are respectively provided at both ends of the sealing gasket, so that after bolts are installed in the mounting holes, the bolts can also pass through the through holes to tighten the sealing gasket.

[0010] In an improved solution, there are two clamping holes, and the two clamping holes are respectively arranged adjacent to the two mounting holes, so that the layout is more reasonable.

[0011] In an improved solution, the two clamping holes are respectively located on both sides of a virtual line connecting the two mounting holes, thereby improving the connection stability between the sealing gasket and the flange body.

[0012] In an improved solution, a convex ring is provided on the side of the sealing gasket facing away from the flange body, and the convex ring is arranged around the inner hole. During assembly, the sides of the two flange bodies with the sealing gaskets are opposite to each other, thereby achieving a better sealing effect through the convex ring on the sealing gasket.
