Ductile iron pipe fittings offer advantages such as high strength, high elongation, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent sealing properties. They are widely used in municipal pipeline projects, electromechanical installation projects, and outdoor pipeline installation projects. Existing butt-jointing structures between ductile iron pipe fittings often utilize a flange-and-bolt structure, where flanges are welded to the ends of each fitting, and bolts are then threaded through the flanges and tightened to connect the two fittings. This type of butt-jointing structure is cumbersome to operate, making assembly and disassembly and subsequent maintenance difficult, and the butt-jointing accuracy is relatively low.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0022] The utility model discloses a ductile iron pipe fitting butt joint structure.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A ductile iron pipe fitting docking structure includes a first pipe fitting 1 and a second pipe fitting 2 that are coaxially connected. A socket portion 11 is formed at one end of the first pipe fitting 1 close to the second pipe fitting 2, and a plug portion 21 that matches the socket portion 11 is formed at one end of the second pipe fitting 2 close to the first pipe fitting 1.

[0024] The inner diameter of the socket part 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the first pipe fitting 1, so that a positioning step surface 12 is formed at the junction of the socket part 11 and the inner cavity of the first pipe fitting 1; when the plug part 21 is inserted into the socket part 11, the front end surface of the plug part 21 is tightly pressed against the positioning step surface 12, limiting the docking depth of the two pipe fittings.

[0025] Reference Figures 2 to 4 At least two first insertion holes 13 are formed on the outer wall of the socket part 11 in a direction perpendicular to its own axis. In this embodiment, there are two first insertion holes 13, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axial direction of the socket part 11, and the inner side wall of the first insertion hole 13 away from the center of the socket part 11 is tangent to the inner circumferential surface of the socket part 11. The width of the first insertion hole 13 is smaller than the wall thickness of the plug part 21, which provides space for the limit column 3 installed subsequently and ensures that the limit column 3 will not penetrate into the plug part 21.

[0026] Reference Figures 4 to 6A limiting column 3 is passed through each first socket 13, and the two end faces of the limiting column 3 are flush with the outer circumferential surface of the socket 11. The outer circumferential surface of the plug part 21 is provided with a limiting groove 22 for the limiting column 3 to pass through; there is a clearance fit between the first socket 13 and the limiting column 3, and a blocking piece is provided on the socket 11, and the limiting column 3 is relatively fixed to the socket 11 through the blocking piece.

[0027] When connecting the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2, it is only necessary to insert the limiting post 3 into the first insertion hole 13 and the middle part of the limiting post 3 into the limiting groove 22 of the plug portion 21, so that the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 are relatively fixed in position, and then the limiting post 3 is sealed in the first insertion hole 13 by the blocking piece. Conversely, when separating the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2, the blocking piece at the end of the limiting post 3 is removed. Due to the clearance fit between the limiting post 3 and the first insertion hole 13, the limiting post 3 can be easily withdrawn from the first insertion hole 13, thereby achieving the separation of the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sealing part includes a sealing ring 4, and two annular platforms 14 are integrally formed on the outer circumference of the socket 11, and an annular groove 15 for the sealing ring 4 to be sleeved is formed between the two annular platforms 14; the sealing ring 4 is rotatably connected to the socket 11, and the sealing ring 4 is provided with at least two second sockets 41, and the first socket 13 and the second socket 41 correspond one to one; when the limiting column 3 is inserted into the socket 11, the first socket 13 is coaxial with the corresponding second socket 41, and then the limiting column 3 can pass through the second socket 41 into the first socket 13; then, the sealing ring 4 is rotated so that the second socket 41 is misaligned with the first socket 13, and then the limiting column 3 is fixed in the first socket 13, which is easy to operate.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A switching notch 141 is formed on the outer periphery of the ring platform 14 relatively close to the second pipe fitting 2, and an extension plate 42 is welded and fixed to one side wall of the sealing ring 4, and the extension plate 42 is located in the switching notch 141; when the first socket 13 is coaxial with the corresponding second socket 41, the extension plate 42 is located at one end of the switching notch 141, and when the extension plate 42 moves to the other end of the switching notch 141, the first socket 13 and the corresponding second socket 41 are misaligned.

[0030] When the extension plate 42 is moved to a position misaligned between the first insertion hole 13 and the second insertion hole 41, a filler plate 44 is installed between the extension plate 42 and the side wall of the switching notch 141. This filler plate 44 is used to fill the remaining space within the switching notch 141, thereby fixing the position of the extension plate 42. Slide bars 441 are fixed to both ends of the filler plate 44. Slide grooves that mate with the slide bars 441 are formed on the side wall of the extension plate 42 near the filler plate 44 and the side wall of the switching notch 141 near the filler plate 44, allowing the filler plate 44 to be slidably inserted between the extension plate 42 and the side wall of the switching notch 141. The provision of the extension plate 42 facilitates the rotation of the blocking ring 4, and the cooperation between the filler plate 44 and the extension plate 42 defines the position of the blocking ring 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 When docking the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2, in order to ensure that the limit column 3 can correspond to the position of the limit groove 22 of the plug part 21, a flat boss 16 is integrally formed on the inner circumference of the socket part 11, and a cut plane 211 that cooperates with the flat boss 16 is formed on the outer circumference of the plug part 21. When the plug part 21 is inserted into the socket part 11, the cut plane 211 of the plug part 21 is in contact with the upper surface of the flat boss 16, thereby playing the role of assembly positioning and ensuring assembly accuracy.

[0032] Reference Figure 5 Since there is a gap connection between the limiting column 3 and the first socket 13, in order to ensure the sealing of the connection between the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2, in this embodiment, four grooves are opened on the inner wall of the sealing ring 4, and two grooves correspond to the two ends of the first socket 13. A sealing gasket 43 is fixedly embedded in each groove. When the first socket 13 is misaligned with the corresponding second socket 41, the sealing gasket 43 moves to the first socket 13, and then blocks and seals the first socket 13 to ensure the sealing of the pipe connection.

[0033] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiment of the present invention, and in accordance with the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
