[0002] An expansion joint is a type of joint used to connect two pipe sections. It typically includes connecting rings at both ends for connecting to the pipes, and a deformable structure in the middle, which can be a bellows. The bellows' effective expansion and contraction allows it to absorb dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction. In actual use, the bellows contain folds, which can easily form material deposits after a period of use (for example, when used to transport fluid containing particles, some particles may be deposited within the folds due to sedimentation). Therefore, cleaning is necessary. However, conventional methods require disassembly and cleaning, which is complex and requires reinstallation. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low maintenance efficiency and high maintenance costs, making it uneconomical. Utility Model Content

[0021] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an expansion joint device, which includes a fixed pipe section 1 and a pair of bellows 2 respectively connected to the two ends of the fixed pipe section 1, the two bellows 2 are also respectively connected to a first connecting ring 3, and the two first connecting rings 3 are respectively used to connect the pipes 4; wherein, the fixed pipe section 1 is also fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 5 connected thereto, and the inlet pipe 5 is also detachably connected to a head 6, which has a head 7 that passes through the inlet pipe 5 and extends into the fixed pipe section 1, and the two pipes 4 to be connected can be connected to a second connecting ring 8 docked with the first connecting ring 3, and then connected by a long rod bolt 9, which is similar to the connection method in the prior art, except that a fixed pipe section 1 is also provided in the middle of the bellows 2 in this scheme.
[0022] In the above embodiment, after the head 6 is removed, the inlet pipe 5 is opened, and then a tool can be inserted through the inlet pipe 5 for cleaning, such as a straw can be used, and the straw is connected to a suction device, such as an exhaust fan, and the straw is extended into the bellows 2. The exhaust fan is turned on, and the bellows 2 can be adsorbed and cleaned by negative pressure, and then the head 6 can be reinstalled. The overall efficiency can be further improved, and the problem that the cleaning inside the bellows 2 in the prior art is more complicated and uneconomical to use is solved; the head 7 is set to extend into the fixed pipe section 1, which can prevent the material from falling into the inlet pipe 5. At the same time, the head 7 is semi-arc-shaped and the outer edge of the semi-arc is connected to the inner wall of the fixed pipe section 1, avoiding a large gap at the connection point that causes the material to be stuck.
[0023] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in more detail, the inlet pipe 5 includes a connecting section and a threaded section, wherein the connecting section is connected to the fixed pipe section 1, and the head 6 includes a screw section 10 threadedly matched with the threaded section and a sliding section 11 slidingly matched with the connecting section. The head 6 is connected to the sliding section 11, and the screw section 10 is also connected to a rotating head 12 located outside the inlet pipe 5. The rotating head 12 is easy to rotate to achieve the connection and disassembly of the head 6, and the threaded section is locked by cooperating with the screw section 10, while the connecting section and the sliding section 11 ensure that the gap between the two is smaller and allows the head 7 to smoothly enter the fixed pipe section 1.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown in further detail, the two ends of the bellows 2 are respectively fixedly connected with a first connecting sleeve 13 and a second connecting sleeve 14, the first connecting sleeve 13 is sleeved on the end of the fixed pipe section 1, and the second connecting sleeve 14 is connected to the first connecting ring. Specifically, the first connecting sleeve 13 is connected to the fixed pipe section 1 through a plurality of first screws 15. Similarly, the second connecting sleeve 14 is connected to the first connecting ring 3 through a plurality of second screws 16. In this way, the entire device can be detachably connected, which facilitates installation while ensuring that the bellows 2 can normally realize the deformation function and the function of the expansion joint device.
