[0002] Spherical reducers, as specialized pipe connectors, are primarily used for connecting and converting pipes of varying diameters within piping systems. They offer flexible connection capabilities and adapt to complex piping systems. Their spherical design helps reduce fluid resistance at pipe joints, ensuring uniform flow and minimizing water hammer. Their spherical structure offers superior strength and stability, capable of withstanding pressure and impact. They are widely used in construction, industry, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.

[0003] Pipes of different diameters can be connected through spherical reducers, but some pipes are fixed and the spacing between the pipes cannot be changed. In some cases, the reserved spacing between the pipes is too large, and the length of the existing spherical reducer orifice cannot be adjusted, resulting in the spherical reducer being unable to connect the pipes. Therefore, a spherical reducer with a variable orifice length is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution for a spherical reducer with a variable pipe mouth length, comprising a spherical connector 2, an upper interface 1 is provided at the upper end of the spherical connector 2, a lower interface 3 is provided at the lower end of the spherical connector 2, an adjustment pipe mouth 4 is provided at the upper interface 1, the adjustment pipe mouth 4 comprises a first bracket 401 fixedly mounted in the spherical connector 2, a sealing mechanism 5 is provided on the pipe mouth body 403, and by cooperating with the adjustment pipe mouth 4 and the sealing mechanism 5, the extended length of the pipe mouth body 403 can be adjusted, which is convenient for connecting pipes together, and the hollow sealing ring 501 will block the gap between the upper interface 1 and the pipe mouth body 403 after expansion, and the pipe mouth body 403 is fixed in the upper interface 1 and maintained sealed.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting nozzle 4 includes a first bracket 401 fixedly installed in the spherical connector 2, a threaded rod 404 is fixedly installed on the first bracket 401, the threaded rod 404 is connected to the second bracket 402, the nozzle body 403 is fixedly installed on the second bracket 402, the outer surface of the nozzle body 403 is provided with a mounting groove 406, the threaded rod 404 is provided with a fixing nut 407, a threaded sleeve 405 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the second bracket 402, and the second bracket 402 is installed on the threaded rod 404 through the threaded sleeve 405.

[0024] Specifically, the user can rotate the threaded sleeve 405, and after rotating the threaded sleeve 405, the second bracket 402 can be moved up and down. After moving the second bracket 402 up and down, the nozzle body 403 can be driven to move up and down, thereby adjusting the extended length of the nozzle body 403 to facilitate connecting pipes together.

[0025] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing mechanism 5 includes a hollow sealing ring 501 fixedly mounted on the nozzle body 403, an air-filled cylinder 503 fixedly mounted on the second bracket 402, a piston 506 movably mounted in the air-filled cylinder 503, a driving rod 505 fixedly mounted on the piston 506, a connecting pipe 502 is provided between the hollow sealing ring 501 and the air-filled cylinder 503, a lower pressure frame 504 is connected to the threaded rod 404, and the lower pressure frame 504 is connected to the upper end of the driving rod 505, a through hole is opened at the upper end of the air-filled cylinder 503, and the driving rod 505 extends out of the air-filled cylinder 503 through the through hole.

[0026] Specifically, after the fixing nut 407 is rotated downward, it will drive the lower pressure frame 504 to move downward, thereby driving the driving rod 505 to move downward. After the driving rod 505 moves downward, it will drive the piston 506 to move downward, squeezing the gas in the inflation cylinder 503 into the hollow sealing ring 501, causing the hollow sealing ring 501 to expand. After the hollow sealing ring 501 expands, it will block the gap between the upper interface 1 and the nozzle body 403, and the nozzle body 403 is fixed in the upper interface 1 and maintains a seal.

After loosening the lower pressure frame 504, the driving rod 505 will lose its blockage. After the driving rod 505 loses its blockage, the piston 506 can be lifted upward. After lifting the piston 506, the gas in the hollow sealing ring 501 will be sucked into the inflation cylinder 503, causing the hollow sealing ring 501 to shrink. After the hollow sealing ring 501 shrinks, the nozzle body 403 will be loosened. After the nozzle body 403 is loosened, the threaded sleeve 405 can be rotated. After rotating the threaded sleeve 405, the second bracket 402 can be moved up and down, thereby adjusting the extended length of the nozzle body 403. The joint is convenient for connecting the pipes together. At the same time, after the length of the nozzle body 403 is adjusted, the fixing nut 407 can be turned downward. After turning the fixing nut 407 downward, it will drive the lower pressure frame 504 to move downward. After the lower pressure frame 504 moves downward, it will drive the driving rod 505 to move downward. After the driving rod 505 moves downward, it will drive the piston 506 to move downward. After the piston 506 moves downward, the gas in the inflatable cylinder 503 will be squeezed into the hollow sealing ring 501, causing the hollow sealing ring 501 to expand. After the hollow sealing ring 501 expands, it will block the gap between the upper interface 1 and the nozzle body 403, and the nozzle body 403 is fixed in the upper interface 1 and kept sealed.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
