Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of pipe compensators, and in particular relates to a rubber composite flexible compensator. Background Art

[0002] A compensator is a flexible structure installed on a container shell or pipeline to compensate for the additional stress caused by temperature difference and mechanical vibration. It absorbs the dimensional changes of pipelines, ducts, containers, etc. caused by thermal expansion and contraction, or compensates for the axial, lateral and angular displacement of pipelines, ducts, containers, etc. It has the advantages of reliable operation, good performance and compact structure, and has been widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy, nuclear power plants and other departments.

[0003] The existing flexible rubber used at the inlet and outlet of the power plant furnace slurry circulation pump has insufficient axial compensation, insufficient rubber ball thickness, and low expansion and contraction rate. Long-term contact with the slurry will increase the hardness of the rubber, cause aging, corrosion, and severe wear, resulting in frequent leakage, increasing the workload of maintenance personnel, not only causing environmental pollution but also reducing the level of safe and civilized production on site. Summary of the Invention

[0019] See Figure 1 The present application provides a rubber composite flexible compensator with a large compensation capacity, a rubber sphere of sufficient thickness, and resistance to aging, corrosion, and wear. The compensator comprises a compensator body 1, lugs 2, a tie rod 3, a backplate flange 4, and a rubber sphere 5. A backplate flange 4 is provided at each end of the compensator body 1. The lugs 2 and the outer sides of the backplate flange 4 are fixedly connected. The tie rod 3 is fixedly connected to the two lugs 2 via nuts.
